Bai Yutang gathered everyone into the office and told them about the shootout that took place the previous night, as well as the killing of the six Interpol agents. Everyone was speechless.
"It doesn't make any sense." After hearing this, Ma Han said, "I have never heard of a killer organization so blatantly go against Interpol, and for no particular reason... They even leave a clear mark. Isn't this a death wish?"
"That's right." Bai Chi nodded. "What you said makes sense."
"Now, Interpol has to destroy ZJ so that they won't get embarrassed." Gong Sun said indifferently. "Then TVA will monopolize the market again."
Everyone thought that the words 'monopolizing the market' had a bit of humor when used for a killing organization. But to put it bluntly, that was exactly what would happen.
"Captain..." Zhao Hu suddenly leaned over and asked, "Will anyone hack ZJ?"
Bai Yutang frowned slightly and nodded.
"Karula suddenly appeared here..." Luo Tian looked at Bai Yutang. "It's also very suspicious."
Bai Yutang nodded, looked at Zhan Zhao and said, "We will discuss everything again when Ou Yang comes."
At this moment, Lu Fang walked in and said, "Xiao Bai, there is a phone call from the airport. The flight has been cancelled today because of the heavy fog. Ou Yangchun and the others will arrive at noon tomorrow at the earliest."
Bai Yutang frowned. "What?"
"That means we can't go to the scene until tomorrow?" Zhan Zhao asked.
"The weather is hot, so the bodies will stink." Gong Sun looked disgusted. "They stink easily."
Everyone looked at him helplessly.
"Don't worry yet," Lu Fang said. "Ou Yang has issued a written statement saying that the SCI can be trusted to handle the affairs, letting us start the investigations first."
Bai Yutang and Zhan Zhao looked at each other--Ou Yang is quite generous.
"Then let's go." Bai Yutang stood up and said, "Everyone will go to the scene, while Gong Sun will do the autopsies."
With that, everyone split up to work without saying anything else.
......
At around 10 in the morning, all members of SCI drove to the scene of the shootout. The incident was huge, as a large number of reporters and interview cars were parked there. The police set out the yellow tapes to protect the scene.
Seeing the SCI team arrive, reporters began to gather. Bai Yutang pulled Zhan Zhao, which drew the attention of all the media, then quickly jumped across the yellow tape and entered the scene.
Others entered from the side and heard the reporters exclaim, "Are they the 'smart, talented and handsome' duo of SCI? They are even more handsome than I thought!"
Several people from SCI looked at each other... Smart, talented and handsome? That's a nice title.
The hotel Ben stayed at was an international styled hotel, and there were not many floors.
The floor where the shootout took place was on the sixth floor. Ben lived on the seventh floor because of the room, so when he went downstairs, the shootout was over, and he had escaped with only minor injuries.
"Hmm..." Zhan Zhao stood at the top of the stairs and looked at the bullet holes in the ground.
"Cat, what's the matter?" Bai Yutang asked.
"It's a little strange." Zhan Zhao squatted down and looked carefully at the bullet holes on the ground. "It looks so real."
"Hmm?" Bai Yutang was a little puzzled, "What's real?"
"It's too much like a gunfight." Zhan Zhao said. "If it is really a fight between the two sides... These Interpol people will not just give up their life like this. How can they be completely wiped out?"
Bai Yutang also nodded. "Six Interpol agents were killed while none of the killers were. That means they were caught by surprise and had hardly fought back... Since they did not fight back, how could there be a gunfight scene like this?"
"Which is why there is something fishy about this!" Zhan Zhao narrowed his eyes.
"Cat." Bai Yutang suddenly said half-jokingly and half seriously, "I say you... Why are you so energized when it comes to cats? Is it really your family?"*
Zhan Zhao squinted. He looked left and right, and seeing that no one was paying attention, he lashed out with his hand.
"Captain," Zhao Hu shouted on the other side. "There is surveillance."
Bai Yutang waved to Zhan Zhao and said, "I'll go and look at the surveillance." With that, he hurried over. Zhan Zhao also wanted to follow him. Suddenly, he noticed something shining slightly in the stairwell. When he walked downstairs, he saw a piece of colored glass on the floor...
"Was this thing here earlier?" Zhan Zhao was wondering when suddenly a hand reached out from the side and pulled him over.
......
The surveillance video had been taken out, and when Bai Yutang walked to the other end of the corridor, he saw Jiang Ping watching the surveillance on a laptop and making an analysis.
"The technique is very professional," Luo Tian murmured. "It looks like a professional killer."
"Cat, look..." As soon as Bai Yutang looked back... He saw that Zhan Zhao didn't follow him.
"Cat?" Bai Yutang went out of the room and looked in the corridor. There were several policemen walking around, but no sigh of Zhan Zhao.
"Cat!" Bai Yutang searched as he walked and went straight to the end of the corridor. Below was a dark staircase... His heart tightened in an instant.
"Have you seen Zhan Zhao?" Bai Yutang grabbed a nearby policeman who was collecting evidence.
The policeman was startled and shook his head. "No..."
"Cat!" Bai Yutang rushed down the stairs and pulled out his cell phone to make a call. Zhan Zhao's cell phone was on, but there was no answer.
While running, Bai Yutang called Jiang Ping and said, "Track the location of Cat's phone!"
Jiang Ping and the others were stunned, and then immediately began to search, "Captain... Dr. Zhan's position is moving. It's very fast. He seems to be in a car."
"Where is it going?"
"South."
Bai Yutang ran to the parking lot and asked the old janitor, "Did a car leave just now?"
The old man was startled by him and nodded, "Yes, a black car..."
"What's the license plate?" Bai Yutang asked.
"I... I didn't see it clearly." The old man stuttered a little.
"What kind of car is it?" Bai Yutang asked.
"Um... The kind of expensive car, the front is square, what's it called... Ben... Bentley." Before he finished speaking, he saw Bai Yutang running out of the parking lot and getting into his car that was parked by the side of the road. Bai Yutang started the car and drove quickly towards South, putting the phone on speaker and throwing it onto the passenger seat next to him. "Jiang Ping, the location of the car!"
Jiang Ping quickly said where the name of the street that the car was on.
"Ask the front desk to help me find a black Bentley!" Bai Yutang said. "Cat has been kidnapped!"
"Black Bentley?" Bai Chi and Luo Tian looked at each other, while the others looked a little pale.
.......
Zhan Zhao looked at Eugene, whom he had not seen for a long time, unable to say anything.
"Kitty, we meet again." Eugene smiled.
"What do you want?" Zhan Zhao asked him coldly.
"Why are you so cold?" Eugene smiled. "I've missed you."
Zhan Zhao did not speak and turned to look out of the window.
"Then again." Eugene leaned forward and stared at Zhan Zhao's face. "Your skin is so good." With that, he held out his finger and wanted to touch Zhan Zhao. Before he could, he saw Zhan Zhao turn around and look at him coldly with a smile, "If you touch with that hand, you must be prepared for it to be cut off."
Eugene quickly withdrew his hand and said with a smile, "I believe you. Don't be angry."
Zhan Zhao turned his face and continued to ignore him. Eugene said somewhat sarcastically, "My eldest brother wants to talk to you, but it's best not to let the police know."
Zhan Zhao was silent. Just now his cell phone rang, and he didn't answer. Bai Yutang must have noticed that he was gone. The black Bentley was so obvious. Coupled with the location system in the phone, Bai Yutang could find him in less than 10 minutes.
After driving for a while, the car stopped at a factory-like place. Eugene got out of the car first, went to the other side, opened the door for Zhan Zhao, and said, "Kitten, please."
When Zhan Zhao got out of the car, he saw that the car was parked in a big factory, surrounded by a lot of people, all dressed in black, looking like mobsters.
Eugene invited Zhan Zhao into the factory, as he pushed open the door. Zhan Zhao saw that it was big and empty. There were two sofas in the middle, and a small coffee table. On it, tea was being made.
There was a man sitting on the sofa with his legs crossed. It was Leonard, the mafia leader he saw last time.
Eugene stood at least 20 meters away from the sofa, and made a gesture to Zhan Zhao, motioning him to go alone.
When Zhan Zhao walked to the sofa, Leonard, who had his head lowered and was thinking about something, looked up. He glanced at Zhan Zhao up and down for a moment, then smiled and said, "Please have a seat."
Zhan Zhao sat down.
Leonard poured tea for Zhan Zhao and whispered, "Shall I call you Dr. Zhan or Zhan Zhao?"
Zhan Zhao looked at his watch and said, "If you have something to say, then say it. You don't have long."
"Haha..." Leonard smiled. "I know, that's why I organized more than 20 men at the door to spare us at least half an hour."
Zhan Zhao didn't say much and asked, "What do you want?"
"Have some tea." Leonard poured Zhan Zhao a cup of tea. "It's Pu'er, the most popular and expensive tea in your country."
Zhan Zhao shook his head. "I have a bad stomach, so I can't drink tea."
Leonard raised his eyebrows and said, "Don't be angry. I had no choice but to invite you here."
As soon as he spoke, he heard the sound of brakes coming from outside.
"So fast?" Leonard looked at his watch in surprise.
"If you have something to say, just say it." Zhan Zhao said. "It won't take more than 10 minutes."
"Aren't you exaggerating? He can take down 20 men in 10 minutes?" Leonard smiled. "It's a good thing that you have faith in him. You're lovers after all."
Zhan Zhao glanced at Leonard. "Who said 20? It's 21, isn't it?"
Leonard was stunned.
Zhan Zhao glanced back at Eugene. "If he doesn't go out, it will only take five minutes at most."
Leonard hesitated and nodded to Eugene.
Eugene walked out helplessly, muttering, "This is a work-related injury, you're paying for the medical fees boss!"
The door opened and closed, and then came the sound of heavy objects falling to the ground.
"Why don't I hear gunshots?" Leonard was a bit confused.
"Are you sure you want to waste more time?" Zhan Zhao was getting impatient.
"All right, I'll talk." Leonard said. "Actually, I only have a few things to say."
Zhan Zhao nodded and did not answer, waiting for Leonard to continue.
"First," Leonard said as he clasped his hands under his chin. "ZJ is my men."
Zhan Zhao glanced at Leonard and was silent.
"Second, I didn't kill those people at Interpol." Leonard continued.
Zhan Zhao didn't seem surprised at all, but he didn't speak, waiting for Leonard to speak.
"Third." Leonard thought for a moment, approached Zhan Zhao and whispered in his ear, "That Karula..."
Zhan Zhao frowned slightly at Leonard's words.
After Leonard finished speaking, he leaned back on the sofa and smiled. "That's all I want to say."
Zhan Zhao nodded and looked up. "There's something I want to ask you too."
"Go ahead." Leonard smiled. "I don't have a lover yet."
Zhan Zhao glared at him. "Really? I do."
"Haha..." Leonard smiled and nodded. "You're so cute. What do you want to ask?"
Zhan Zhao paused and said, "Is Zhao Jue with you?"
Leonard was stunned. Then, he smiled, raised his index finger and pressed it on his lips. He made a 'shush' action towards Zhan Zhao.
Zhan Zhao nodded, then leaned over and said, "By the way, I have something to tell you."
"What is it?" Leonard leaned over as well, with a curious look on his face.
"Well." Zhan Zhao said seriously. "You look very ugly when you do that."
Leonard froze, and at the same time he heard a loud bang, as the door was smashed open. Eugene flew in and fell to the ground, gnawing his teeth and clutching his ribs. "Sigh... No affection whatsoever."
Looking at the door again, he saw Bai Yutang standing there, and the men behind him all on the ground. None of them could get up.
Leonard shook his head and clapped his hands. He looked at his watch. "Less than 10 minutes, that's amazing."
Bai Yutang walked in.
Eugene stepped aside, and Leonard looked at him helplessly. "Why are you so useless? What do I need you for?"
Eugene glared at Leonard with some disapproval. "You fight him then, if you can."
Bai Yutang had a never seen before ugly expression on his face. He went up to Leonard, raised his hand and put a gun to Leonard's head.
"Xiao Bai." Zhan Zhao stood up and pulled Bai Yutang over.
Leonard smiled and looked at the dark muzzle of the gun. "That's not good for you... No one in the world can point a gun at me."
As soon as he finished speaking, he saw Bai Yutang raise his hand and fire a shot at a place towards the roof of the warehouse.
There was a 'hum' sound, as a sniper rifle fell and smashed to pieces.
Leonard turned pale, looked at Zhan Zhao and said, "Dr. Zhan, please ask for mercy for me. Although my method is not quite right, at least I have a good heart, right? I can be useful."
Zhan Zhao saw that Bai Yutang's face was stone cold, but he couldn't really kill Leonard, so Zhan Zhao pulled him and said, "Let's go."
Bai Yutang stared at Leonard for a moment, put away his gun, pulled Zhan Zhao around and walked out.
Outside the door, Bai Yutang let Zhan Zhao get on the car first. He then went to the driver's seat, opened the door, and suddenly raised his hand with the gun. He fired a shot at the black Bentley fuel cap...
With a 'boom' sound, the Bentley that was worth 15 million yuan burst into flames.
Leonard's men who were defeated all became stupefied. Bai Yutang put away his gun and got into the car. He then started the engine and left with Zhan Zhao.
Inside the factory building, Leonard touched his chin and looked at the burning car outside. He turned to Eugene and asked, "Do you think if I invoice Jintang, he will reimburse me?"
Eugene rubbed the wound. "I told you not to play these tricks. If you have something to say, just write a letter, text or call. You just had to use such a dangerous trick... I don't care, you must pay for my medical expenses. Ah... It hurts."
Leonard stared at the burning car outside the door for a long time and said slowly, "I think I know why he likes these two children so much."

*The 'cat' here refers to the words 'something fishy' in the previous sentence, because in the Chinese, it has the word 'cat' in it.
