Three days later, Bar Street in Huahai City, exactly ten o'clock at night.
Luo Chao strolled leisurely down the street in a black casual outfit, a Huaxia-branded cigarette dangling from his mouth as his eyes continuously scanned the nas of each shop along the street.
This street was called Bar Street precisely because it housed many bars, KTVs, bathhouses, and other entertainnt venues.
During the day, the street was desolate, but every night, its real bustling life ca alive.
Neon signs glittered, young n and won ca and went in crowds, and scantily clad streetwalkers were busy luring lone n into establishnts.
Scenes like these played out every night in Huahai City without cease.
"Hey handso, alone? Co in for so fun!" called a voluptuous streetwalker dressed in black stockings and revealing clothing that nearly exposed her snowy white chest, waving at Luo Chao from the entrance of a massage parlor.
Luo Chao glanced at her, "Miss, your kid must be in elentary school now, right? Better retire early; this line of work isn't good for the child!"
"Tch! Psycho!" Her expression changed as she turned her head away.
Little did she expect Luo Chao to judge so accurately, realizing not only her real age but also that she had a son.
Luo Chao shrugged. He knew these streetwalkers were doing illegal things, but they were just trying to make a living. After all, no one is born wanting to do this job; they are forced by circumstances.
This streetwalker might even have been abandoned by her husband, with no skills to rely on, forced to sell her body to raise a child alone.
Shaking his head to rid himself of these peculiar thoughts, Luo Chao took out his phone, just about to make a call to hurry the person he was waiting for when a voice suddenly sounded behind him.
"Pervert, thinking of soliciting the mont you step into Bar Street. Believe it or not, I'll haul you back to the station!" The voice belonged to Fang Zhiruo.
Fang Zhiruo wasn't in her uniform today but had switched to plain clothes.
Her long black hair flowed loosely down her back, and she wore a dark blue sensual top under a white waist-length jacket.
Though she wasn't wearing a skirt, the tight-fitting jeans still showcased her curvaceous figure beautifully.
Yet at this mont, Fang Zhiruo stood with her arms crossed, looking at Luo Chao disdainfully.
"Officer Fang, I wasn't soliciting! I was advising this misguided lady, urging her to turn back from the Sea of Suffering!" Luo Chao said helplessly.
Then he turned to the streetwalker, "Miss, please vouch for !"
However, the streetwalker, evidently awed by Fang Zhiruo's beauty, gave Luo Chao a contemptuous look after a brief daze, "Hm, a real nutcase; such a gorgeous girlfriend, yet out here soliciting!"
With that, the streetwalker turned back into the massage parlor.
"I'm innocent," Luo Chao muttered, feeling more wronged than Dou E.
Fang Zhiruo flushed slightly at the streetwalker's words but quickly returned to business, "Alright, alright, quit your whining. What's up? Why did you call here? Do you have a lead?"
When Fang Zhiruo asked, Luo Chao imdiately collected himself, drawing her to a corner, and mysteriously turned on his phone screen.
The phone's screen displayed so information.
Code na: Silver Fox
Gender: Male
Nationality: Huaxia
Skills: Ancient Martial Arts
Level: A-Class
(Profile: An A-Class assassin of the Black Hole Organization, highly skilled in close combat and dagger assassination. Successfully assassinated U.S. Governor Kilino and xican oil tycoon Orwell. Minimum bounty 2 million US dollars per person.)
This information was found by Luo Chao at the cost of five million Huaxia Coins, thanks to the Dragon Fang Team's top hacker, Cyclops.
"Black Hole Organization? Professional assassin!" Fang Zhiruo almost exclaid at the information.
"Exactly. This professional assassin nad Silver Fox is the one who attempted to assassinate Miss Lin in the hospital the other night," Luo Chao explained.
Fang Zhiruo glanced around to make sure no one was paying attention to them before continuing to ask, "But isn't the Black Hole Organization the top-ranked assassin guild in the Underworld, known for extre secrecy? How did you get this information?"
"A friend helped find it," Luo Chao replied.
"Is it soone from that Dragon Fang Team?" Fang Zhiruo asked, curious.
Last ti she overheard from the conversation between Luo Chao and Ouyang Tian about the Dragon Fang Team, Huaxia's strongest special forces unit.
"Indeed," Luo Chao admitted openly, as he trusted Fang Zhiruo's character, valued by his predecessor, the legendary Soldier King Ouyang Tian.
"So, did you call to Bar Street today because you already know Silver Fox's precise location?" Fang Zhiruo probed.
Luo Chao shook his head slightly, "I only know he will be at Bar Street tonight, but I don't know exactly where."
"You an to say, you want the two of us to search Bar Street for him?" Fang Zhiruo pressed.
"Exactly." Luo Chao nodded.
"You must be joking! With so many people on Bar Street, not to ntion all those stores, how are we supposed to find soone when we don't even know what they look like? This is like finding a needle in a haystack!" Fang Zhiruo scoffed.
That night, because there was no light in Lin Yun's hospital room, Luo Chao and others didn't know Silver Fox's real appearance.
"Finding him directly is impossible, but we can look for his target!" Luo Chao pointed at his phone screen a few more tis.
The screen changed.
Code na: Silver Fox
Recent Task Records:
1. Kill Lin Yun, CEO of Haichen Group, within three days, reward 8 million US dollars. (Ti limit exceeded, mission failed.)
2. Kill Sun Bowen, eldest son of the Sun Family in Huahai City, within seven days, reward 2.5 million US dollars. (6 days remaining, incomplete.)
There's no denying, Luo Chao's five million Huaxia Coins were money well spent. The hacker prowess of Cyclops almost turned the Black Hole Organization's task system inside out, allowing Luo Chao to gather such detailed information.
"What a greedy guy, failing to assassinate Miss Lin yet accepting a new contract just yesterday!" Fang Zhiruo was slightly annoyed at the details on the screen.
"Exactly. Although I don't know where Silver Fox is, my investigation reveals that his target, Sun Bowen, will be here on Bar Street tonight."
"With this chaotic Bar Street, if I were the assassin, tonight would be an unmissable opportunity." Luo Chao said calmly, looking at the photo of Sun Bowen on his phone screen.
Luo Chao didn't realize how coincidental things could get; a few days ago, Sun Bowen had sent Vulture to kill him, now he, in turn, had to protect him indirectly.
"But speaking of which, this Sun Bowen is a rich young master, right? Who could possibly hold a grudge against a wealthy kid like that, spending so much just to hire an assassin to kill him?" Fang Zhiruo's brows furrowed deeply, her face puzzled.
Luo Chao nodded, "It is quite strange. Let's hope we can catch the assassin tonight and see if we can get any information from him."
