Chapter 1559 - 1560: The Expert
Thinking of this, Du Yanan felt even more stifled and shouted at a tall male criminal police officer beside her: "What are you standing there for? Immediately lock down all surrounding passageways. Absolutely no criminal is allowed to escape!"
"Yes!"
The tall police officer reluctantly glanced at Li Qiyi one more time, turned around, and quickly went to give instructions.
"Let’s go, I’ll take you home first."
Upon hearing Du Yanan’s words, another police officer beside her hurriedly reminded: "Deputy Captain, according to the rules, we should take this lady to the police station first, right?"
"She’s my best friend, and now she’s not feeling well, she should obviously go home to rest. Is the police station that lousy place where she should be staying?" Du Yanan’s apricot eyes glared, making the male police officer instinctively shrink his neck and dare not utter another word.
The nightclub case implicated many; a large nightclub had over twenty people dying on the spot. Through investigations, the police discovered a good sniping window on the second floor, even equipped with a light sniper rifle. They also found two bullet casings on-site and recovered the bullets, though no one died from this gun.
Being able to dodge sniper rifle bullets at such a short distance indicates that this person’s skills have reached an appallingly frightening level.
Even more bizarre, an originally kidnapping incident led to the complete annihilation of over twenty kidnappers, with one even having his head taken away in a ruthless manner. The police immediately sealed the information, not releasing it publicly, stating only that a serious brawl incident had occurred at the nightclub while closing it down.
Du Yanan was assigned full authority to investigate this case, but besides Li Qiyi, there were no other survivors.
Li Qiyi herself remained silent, both unwilling and unable to speak.
While the nightclub case made no progress, a shocking national case occurred at a high-end club in Yuhang City!
Jinque Palace is one of the most high-end private clubs in Yuhang City, gathering Yuhang City’s elite every evening.
Jinque Palace never opens to the public, thus having a very sophisticated security system said to cost hundreds of thousands each month for maintenance.
In a private lounge at Jinque Palace, Yu Zixiao sat with his head down on a sofa. In front of him sat a handsome middle-aged man, his expression relatively calm with a hint of menace in his eyes.
"Leopard, a three-star member of the Krait International Mercenary Group, fifteen years in service, executed seventy-three missions with only two failures because the opponent hired Netherworld mercenaries and even had a Hell’s General leading the team." The middle-aged man slightly raised his head, not looking at Yu Zixiao, as if speaking of a very ordinary matter, "Among the twenty-plus men he brought this time, there were also five Krait mercenaries, all two-star members. Though not as skilled as Leopard, they are top-notch fighters nonetheless."
"I made a mistake," Yu Zixiao said, lowering his head.
The middle-aged man seemed not to hear, continuing, "Leopard must have made arrangements in advance, even using a sniper rifle, yet still utterly defeated. Moreover, Leopard’s head was severed and taken away. Honestly, I can’t fathom who could’ve done this. In my impression, there are not many forces in Yuhang City with such power. Even if there were, they would have casualties, but only Leopard and his men’s blood was found on-site, and it seems all their deaths were caused by a single person."
Then, the whole room descended into silence.
After a while, Yu Zixiao slowly spoke, "It couldn’t be him. He doesn’t have that ability!"
"Who is he?" The middle-aged man finally looked down at his son.
To speak of it, the middle-aged man was quite satisfied with his son. Compared to other Young Masters Party and rich third-generation individuals, Yu Zixiao far surpassed them.
Normally, even the strict middle-aged man could not bear to reprimand his son because he performed excellently in all aspects. Even when he lost several million in a bet last time, the middle-aged man didn’t blame him at all. In his view, money is a minor matter; the most important thing is one’s means in dealing with people.
When a company reaches their scale, millions is like a drizzle; after all, it’s not their own money they’re using, it all comes from the shareholders. That’s the benefit of a company going public.
Lose, and you should pay, that’s a matter of principle.
However, he couldn’t comprehend this matter and indeed found it somewhat odd. Others dying was one thing, but Leopard’s death was too bizarre.
Just then, a light knock came at the door.
"Come in."
The middle-aged man said in a deep voice.
The door was pushed open by a small, thin man. The man stood at about 1.6 meters tall, with dark skin, looking lean and skinny. Except for the pair of sharp eyes, there was nothing remarkable about him.
The small man walked behind the middle-aged man, speaking in a heavily accented voice: "Checked the scene, it was the work of a master."
"Can you find out who it was?"
"No, but the method feels familiar. There is someone in my memory capable of such feats, but it absolutely wouldn’t be him."
"Why?" The middle-aged man asked, slightly curious.
Mentioning this person, the gleam in the small man’s eyes slowly faded, replaced by respect: "That person would never appear in China, nor would he act over such a trivial matter."
Even though he knew asking about personal matters was against the rules, the middle-aged man couldn’t help but ask: "This person you speak of, can you tell us a bit? If possible, I’d like to invite him to visit Yuhang, as Yuhang’s West Lake is world-renowned, after all."
The small man was silent for a moment, then raspily said: "By the rules, I shouldn’t speak. Besides, with your conditions, you don’t even qualify to meet him."
Hearing this, the middle-aged man grew even more curious about the person referred to as "that person" but understood the unwritten rules within the industry. Though prominent outside, the middle-aged man knew within the true high circles he was just a useful piece on the board.
As a piece, he knew what questions to ask and what not to ask.
"In that case, who exactly is this person?"
"This person acts swiftly and with ruthless means, undoubtedly a veteran. Though Leopard was beneath my notice, he did have some skill, making it difficult for ordinary people to kill him. Moreover, this person could destroy all the nightclub’s surveillance under the police’s apprentice’s eyes, which shows a remarkable ability indeed."
