Wang Xi, who had been indulging in pleasure, was now buried in hard work, oblivious to what the man in the mask was saying.
So... he was sowhat baffled when he was yanked to his feet, still clutching the woman in front of him.
As he turned his head and saw that it was the man in the mask who had pulled him up, he quickly let go of his grip.
Then, while he was pulling up his trousers, he asked in confusion, "Boss, what happened?"
Upon hearing Wang Xi's question, the Suit Man looked out at the pitch-black night view and the unceasing heavy rain, and a grotesque, malevolent smile erged from beneath the mask. "God has just shown us a new path..."
"Tonight will be our hunting night!"
"Hunting night?" Wang Xi's face was full of confusion.
The man in the mask took out a pink potion from the pocket of his suit, his face expressing madness and desire, "Yes! Hunting night!"
"We must let 'God's' seeds be sown all over this sinful city, making it our ultimate hunting ground!"
If Qiu Tu were here right now, he would recognize the potion bottle as extrely familiar because... It was identical to the 'Mandragora Love Drug' he had used many tis before!
Wang Xi obviously also knew what the potion and 'God' symbolized, so upon hearing the man in the mask's words, his face suddenly beca much more hesitant.
He pondered before speaking, "Boss... maybe we should consider this more carefully."
"This might be too dangerous for us, the Investigation Bureau..."
"Slap!" Before he could finish, the Suit Man slapped him across the face!
The man in the mask's eyes were blood-red as he glared at Wang Xi fiercely, "Do not question 'God's' decisions!"
"You are 'blaspheming'!"
With that, he drew a pistol from his waist and pointed it at Wang Xi's head, threateningly saying, "Blasphe again, and believe , I'll blow your brains out!"
Wang Xi staggered from the slap, his face quickly swelling, his eyes full of resentnt.
But when he saw the crazed look of the man in the mask, and the dark muzzle of the gun, he cowered...
He hastily apologized, nodding repeatedly, "Yes, boss. My fault, my fault. Let's go hunting now! Go hunting!"
Seeing Wang Xi submit, the Suit Man seed pleased as his expression quickly changed, giving him an approving look before patting him on the shoulder, "That's my good companion! 'God's' faithful believer!"
After speaking, he pointed the gun at the several naked won on the sofa who had just been exercising with them.
He tilted his head, squinted his eyes, and watched them with a crazed look, "God tells us, everyone has the right to choose their own life."
"Now, I am going to kill you. You have 10 seconds, you can choose to run, you can choose to scream, you can also choose to beg for rcy..."
"All the choices are in your hands!"
Upon saying this, he paused, then continued counting down with a fearso tone, "Now, I start counting."
"10..."
"9..."
"8..."
Upon hearing the man in the mask's words, the three naked won showed faces of terror.
They struggled to roll off the sofa and, heedless of their nakedness, they frantically ran toward the villa's entrance!
"Bang! Bang!"
Two gunshots rang out, and the two won at the front were shot in the back and collapsed to the ground. Blood spread beneath them, and with disbelieving faces, they turned back to look towards the man in the mask.
The man in the mask laughed maniacally with a "ha ha."
Then he walked step by step toward the last woman.
The final woman was already petrified with fear. She had collapsed to her knees when the gun went off.
Now, seeing the man in the mask approaching slowly with a gun in hand, tears stread down her face as she frantically kowtowed to the man, begging him for rcy.
But the man in the mask simply used the gun to lift her head gently, continuing to calmly count down in a soft voice, "7... 6... 5... 4..."
Until he reached "1."
At the sound of "Bang!" the woman's head was blown apart by the bullet at close range, blood splattered onto her body, the floor, and the mask of the man in the mask...
The man in the mask affectionately touched the blood on his mask, licked it clean with his tongue, then laughed softly to the slowly falling corpse, "Don't bla for not giving you a choice..."
"Although every choice leads to death..."
After finishing, he got up and laughed wildly with "ha ha."
In the darkness, the won's eyes remained open in death, staring maliciously at him, but he was completely oblivious!
Tiny pinpoints of light drifted from the corpses on the floor, entering his nostrils with his breath, filling his entire body!
After laughing, the man in the mask gradually quieted down.
His gaze, neither joyful nor sorrowful, swept over the villa that was now blood-soaked, then he said to Wang Xi, "Let's go... Let's start our hunt tonight."
Wang Xi was obviously shocked by the scene that had just unfolded; he shrank back slightly, then asked, "Where... where are we going?"
The man in the mask thought for a mont, then chuckled lightly, "First, let's pay a visit to... Section Chief Kong Qingchang's house."
He shook the pink potion bottle as he spoke, the smile on his face growing more maniacal.
"We're going to spread the 'glory' of 'God'."
...
anwhile.
Qiu Tu, led by a maid, also arrived at Yan Chen's vacant guest room in his villa.
As a residence of one of Xinjie City's Three Giants, the guest room had everything one might need; Qiu Tu didn't have to prepare anything extra to move in—a stark contrast to his rundown ho.
So, after a simple clean up, he sat on the bed, beginning to ponder over his next plan of action.
With the assertive intervention of the Security Departnt, the downfall of the Qin Family should just be a matter of ti.
Therefore, all Qiu Tu had to do was survive this period of chaos, and he should be safe.
What remained to be seen was whether his plan to pin the bla on Jia Shu would go smoothly.
If not, he would use the channels of the Security Departnt to run away, starting anew in another city.
And if he succeeded... it would an that his recent efforts to drive a wedge between Yan Chen and Jia Shu had been effective.
Then... he could set his next target on Jia Shu.
Whether it was an illusion, Qiu Tu always felt that Jia Shu's way of looking at him lately was strange.
Combined with Jia Shu's enigmatic satisfaction, Qiu Tu really had an ominous premonition...
With this thought, Qiu Tu, following his daily habit, activated the "Loyalty Ga" and then went to bed early, falling asleep...
Perhaps because he had worked hard all day, he was really tired. It didn't take long for Qiu Tu to fall into a deep sleep...
The heavy rain continued, and the long night persisted in its madness...
That night, too much happened...
[5 and a half days (Yin Caii case closure ti)]
[2 and a half days (Dangers in the dark)]
...
The next morning, as the rain stopped and the clouds dispersed.
The sun shone down on Xinjie City, which had been soaked through by the overnight downpour, making the newly built city appear exceptionally fresh and clean.
Possibly because he had gone to bed early last night, Qiu Tu woke up early, got out of bed, and freshened up.
Then he casually called for the maid to prepare breakfast for him, and after eating, he went to the villa's garden for his morning exercise.
After running two laps and working up a sweat, Qiu Tu was just about to go back for a shower.
But as he turned around, he saw a beautiful girl in a white dress slowly walking out from the villa, joyfully wandering in the garden.
She was like a breath of elegant scenery that even the garden full of flowers planted by Yan Chen could not outshine.
Qiu Tu curiously gave her a couple of glances, then called to a maid nearby and asked, "Who is that girl?"
The maid glanced at the girl, then whispered, "That is the Bureau Chief's daughter. She just arrived in Xinjie City last night."
At the maid's words, Qiu Tu was taken aback.
The Bureau Chief's daughter? Was that Yan Chen's daughter?!
Qiu Tu looked surprisedly at the elegant girl for a mont, recalling the wrinkled old face of Yan Chen.
Then one thought rose in his mind: Yan Chen's wife must be very beautiful, right?
Thinking this, Qiu Tu suddenly connected many other details from recent tis.
Like... how Yan Chen, despite being very busy with work and not interested in flowers, had built such a large garden at the entrance of his villa, filled with various expensive flowers.
Like... there was no particular happy event yesterday, but Yan Chen had been cheerful from morning until night.
Like... Secretary Bai, after reporting intelligence at about 7 pm, had disappeared without a trace.
Like... Secretary Bai arriving at Yan Chen's villa last night soaked on one side of his body.
All these things Qiu Tu hadn't paid much attention to at the ti, but now, they seed likely to be because of the girl before him, right?
With this realization, Qiu Tu couldn't help but make a simple judgnt: It seems... Yan Chen truly dotes on his daughter a lot, doesn't he?
'Maybe... this could be useful in the future?'
With that thought, Qiu Tu gave the girl another look and then turned his attention back, wiping his sweat as he returned to his guest room to shower.
The morning passed quickly. At 8 o'clock, Qiu Tu once again hitched a ride with Yan Chen to the Investigation Bureau.
However, unlike last night when he rode in the sa car as Yan Chen, today, he was relegated to the following convoy.
This seed to foreshadow a change in his status in Yan Chen's heart.
But... Qiu Tu didn't care, because he knew that didn't an much: his most crucial test—the one with Jia Shu—had not yet co.
Last night, Qiu Tu's communicator was never put on silent, just left by his bedside.
He had anticipated that Jia Shu would certainly call to inquire about the whole affair. But unexpectedly, Jia Shu really had the patience to not contact him the entire night.
But that did not an the situation had passed, on the contrary, it heralded an even greater storm.
Therefore, what was most important for Qiu Tu now was to figure out the current state of affairs.
And what Yan Chen, Jia Shu, and the senior mbers of the Investigation Bureau thought about the events that had transpired yesterday!
Whether in espionage or regular warfare, intelligence is the key of keys.
With that in mind, Qiu Tu got out of the car and followed Yan Chen into the Investigation Bureau Office Building.
Yan Chen took the elevator, and of course, Qiu Tu couldn't follow. So he watched Yan Chen ascend with a sullen face and then took the next elevator to the Political Departnt.
He reached the 9th floor and had just stepped out of the elevator when a familiar figure approached: Eagle.
Eagle passed by as if it were just a coincidence, nodding at Qiu Tu and then brushing past him.
But... in the fleeting mont their bodies ca into contact, unseen by others, he stealthily slipped a wad of paper into Qiu Tu's pocket...
------
I've only slept for two hours today, and I'm completely unable to fall back asleep. Then my head has been dizzy, luckily I had a detailed outline, or I might not have been able to write at all.
Then after lunch, I went to the clinic for a checkup. The doctor gave a few injections, prescribed so dicine, and told I couldn't stay up late like this anymore.
So, I might slightly adjust my schedule while ensuring the manuscript reaches ten thousand words, such as updating one chapter in the evening, and after waking up the next day, updating two chapters in the late afternoon.
I'll see how I feel after writing tonight. I'm going to get so sleep now.
