During the year Tang Guolun served, the FBI made astonishing gains. Five of the top ten international fugitives were captured, and countless criminal organizations and terrorists were taken down. That year, the global cri rate hit a new low. Everyone knew that with Tang Guolun’s support, nobody dared to cross Lord Tai Sui, as that would be a death wish.
Therefore, when Tang Guolun decided to leave the FBI, the Director personally tried to persuade him to stay, but unfortunately, Tang Guolun was resolute in his decision to leave, and no one could hold him back. In his own words, "I’ve grown tired of the cat-and-mouse ga; there’s no challenge in it, so being the mouse is more interesting."
Of course, that’s not all there is to Tang Guolun’s story. Once, a friend of Tang Guolun’s was unfortunately caught while acting alone and was imprisoned in a high-security prison, sentenced to life.
Tang Guolun was a man of loyalty and couldn’t just stand by when his friend was in trouble. So, he voluntarily turned himself in and was placed in the sa prison.
It took about ten days, and Tang Guolun successfully broke out with his friend. The prison administration had no idea how they managed to escape.
That incident sparked a new interest in Tang Guolun: prison breaks. Every successful escape gave him a sense of satisfaction and accomplishnt. Over the years, Tang Guolun traveled to prisons worldwide, even sparking bets in the cri world on how long it would take him to escape.
Eventually, as Tang Guolun’s fa grew, prison managent sought him out, inviting him to stay for a while to help find flaws and loopholes in their security systems. Thus, he earned the title: Escape Expert.
Tang Guolun is now over forty, having spent more than twenty years in the world of cri. In the cri world, Tang Guolun is undoubtedly a legendary figure.
A few years ago, when Ling Chen was with the Ghost Organization, he received an assassination mission. The target was the leader of an international cri force, who had too many enemies and was afraid of retaliation, so he voluntarily went to prison, bribing the prison staff. To kill the target, one had to enter the prison.
At that ti, Ling Chen faked his identity as a murderer and intentionally got caught, successfully entering the prison where the target was.
It was then that Ling Chen unexpectedly encountered Tang Guolun. As fate would have it, they were placed in the sa cell. Ling Chen, knowing the identity of this renowned criminal mastermind, imdiately recognized him. Though their ti together wasn’t long, they were both prominent figures in the cri and espionage world, naturally appreciating each other’s talents. With Ling Chen’s deliberate efforts, they gradually built friendship and trust.
After more than half a month, Ling Chen saw an opportunity and smoothly completed the mission. After assassinating the target, and with Tang Guolun’s help, they escaped from the prison and went their separate ways. Surprisingly, Ling Chen hadn’t heard from Tang Guolun in years, only to find out he was in Yan City Prison.
"Boss Tang, you said you were caught during an operation. Others might believe that, but knowing you, I find it impossible." Ling Chen said with a smile, "Everyone knows you’re ticulous and won’t easily collaborate with others unless you trust them completely. Co on, we’re old friends, can’t you tell what’s really going on?"
Tang Guolun laughed heartily, "I knew I couldn’t fool you. Alright, since you want to know, I’m not afraid to tell you—I was tricked!"
"Tricked?" Ling Chen asked, slightly taken aback, "What do you an?"
"More than a year ago, Yan City Prison’s Prison Director, Yu Peng, contacted , hoping I’d help him check out Yan City Prison’s security system for vulnerabilities. You know , I relish high-level challenges. After researching Yan City Prison, I learned it was a governnt-contracted private secret prison, and I got interested. Our agreent was if I couldn’t successfully escape within two months, it would show Yan City Prison had top-notch defenses with no flaws. At that point, Yan City Prison would release . But after I entered the prison, I discovered that bastard Yu Peng tricked ; he didn’t follow the contract terms and had people watching my every move, making escape impossible."
At this point, Tang Guolun appeared quite angry and couldn’t help but curse.
"Tsk tsk!" Ling Chen shook his head, surprised by Yu Peng’s despicable plot to deceive Tang Guolun into entering Yan City Prison.
Previously, when Tang Guolun signed contracts with prisons, the managent wouldn’t reveal his real identity to the staff, treating him like a regular prisoner. But Yu Peng monitoring constantly was clearly special treatnt, making escape impossible for anyone.
"So, you’ve been stuck here in this godforsaken place for a year?"
"Yes. I’m nearly bored to death; luckily you ca, so I have so company."
"Forget that, I’m not staying here to keep you company. Wait, if I can get out, I’ll take you with ."
"Alright, I’ll hold you to that. I’m pinning my hopes on you. Damn it, once I’m out, I’ll make Yu Peng regret ssing with for the rest of his life."
"Tell , Boss Tang, why did Yu Peng lure you here? Do you have so value to him?"
Tang Guolun replied irritably, "That bastard coerced and tempted to help him plan operations—murder, theft, arrests, all sorts of dirty deeds. Damn it, if you ask , that bastard deserves to be locked up more than anyone. Compared to him, I feel like I’m a saint."
Upon hearing this, Ling Chen grew even more curious and asked, "What exactly does Yu Peng want?"
"How should I know? I’m not a worm in his belly. Anyway, that guy’s definitely not a good person." Tang Guolun then changed the subject, "Did people from Qingyang Society and Hongn invite you?"
"Yeah, if not for hearing you were treating to breakfast, I would have already gone with Qingyang Society’s people."
"Stay away from Qingyang Society and Hongn; those guys only compete for power without any ambition or goals. They’re too unmotivated." Tang Guolun expressed his strong disapproval of those two factions.
