“Yes, yes, yes. We’ll turn ourselves in now and hope for a lenient sentence.”
“It seems like you know your mistake.” Ning Che said.
“I’ll give you five seconds to disappear from my sight.”
“We’re leaving now. We’re leaving now.”
With Ning Che’s permission, Zhu Jinwoo and the others ran out as if they had lost their lives.
“It’s all settled. Pack up and go to the airport,” Ning Che said.
“Let’s go.”
Then, Tao Cheng drove the three of them to the airport.
They didn’t leave until they entered the ticket gate.
…
Middle East, Qazar.
In the hotel’s private swimming pool, a blond, blue-eyed foreign man was wearing swimming trunks and showing off his swimming form in the pool.
On the swimming pool, there were a few models in bikini swimsuits holding orange juice in their hands. They were chatting and laughing, wantonly enjoying the moment of indulgence in front of them.
There was another black man sitting in the lounge, but he was dressed in an out of place blue suit and was not moved by the cheerful atmosphere in front of him.
It didn’t take long for Walker to climb up from inside the pool and sit next to Evans.
“I haven’t swam in a long time. I feel like my skills are rusty.”
“I don’t think you’re enjoying swimming. You’re enjoying the company of a beautiful woman.”
Walker burst out laughing.
“Old buddy, you know me best. Without them accompanying me, I would think swimming is the most boring sport in the world.”
As the two of them spoke, footsteps sounded from nearby. A man in a black suit approached.
“Mr. Evans, Mr. Walker, I’ve found out something that might have something to do with Fosse’s death.”
Hearing this news, both of their expressions became serious.
Walker tossed the towel aside. “Speam.”
“The thing is, the day before Fosse died, their base was attacked by an air raid. But before that, a few Terran-looking individuals led a breakout, quickly retreated, and then initiated the airstrike.”
“Terran?”
Hearing this, both Evans and Walker were surprised.
Among all the foreign organizations, only a few had Terran members. So, who could these attackers be?
“Could it be people from the Central Guard Brigade?” Walker suggested.
“Before this, Fosse orchestrated the Panem incident, and people died as a result of his actuals. It’s very likely they sent someone to take revenge.”
“Not likely. That was an airstrike,” Evans replied.
“Mr. Evans, it could very well be the Central Guard Brigade.”
“Why do you say that? Have you found other information?” Evans asked.
“We heard from some Meiguon soldiers that at the last moment of the Panem incident, a group of unknown individuals appeared and killed all the Black Snake members involved. Even the local Meiguon soldiers were affected, so the problem likely stemmed from that group.”
Evans paused, considering the information. “So you’re saying the people who initiated the attack were from the Central Guard Brigade, and then another group carried out the airstrike?”
“Yes,” the black-clad subordinate confirmed.
“And there’s one piece of information that is bad news for us.”
“What information?”
The subordinate hesitated, his expression uneasy.
“According to the description of those Meiguon soldiers, one the unknown individuals resembled the Ace of Spades.”
Their expressions changed drastically!
“It’s him!”
Hearing the words “Ace of Spades”, both Evans and Walker’s expressions became a bit unnatural.
They all knew very well what this name meant.
If this person really appeared, the problem would become complicated.
“Are you sure the information is correct?” Evans asked.
“The Ace of Spades is from Poker. Why would he get involved in the Central Guards Brigade’s matters?”
“But according to reliable sources, Joker is Huaxian. There might be some connection,” the subordinate said.
“Apart from that, we found something else.”
“The main character of the Panem incident is the leader of Team 1 of the Central Guards Brigade. His girlfriend’s name is Ji Qingyan, and she’s from a company in Zhonghai, Huaxia. Recently, a middle-aged woman has appeared beside her. According to our investigation, this woman is somewhat related to Joker, so I’m guessing that the appearance of the Ace of Spades might not be a coincidence.”
Both Evans and Walker were silent for a long time. They didn’t say anything further.
“The key to the problem now is the middle-aged woman. We need to find out more about her identity.”
“I’m afraid that’s going to be difficult.”
“Difficult?”
“A large number of experts have been planted around them. It’s very difficult for our people to try to get close.” The subordinate in black said.
“If we act more aggressively, we might be discovered.”
“Every one of Poker’s men is a tough nut to crack,” Evans said mildly.
“After all, their leader is Joker. In this world, there’s no one else who can compare to him.”
Evans tilted his head and looked at his old friend.
“You think so highly of him?”
“I’ve previously been in contact with him. He’s a very scary man. You have to trust my judgment.”
Evans waved his hand. “I’m very aware of Joker’s strength, but the task now is to figure out where that syringe went.”
“I think we can start with the Central Guards Brigade,” Walker said.
“I read the information about the Central Guards Brigade yesterday. They have a total of three team leaders now. Two of them have been living in Yanjing, and the last man lives in Zhonghai.”
“But that man died in Panem.”
“That’s what the news reported, but you have to know that the Huaxians are very cunning. He was taken away at that time, and no one knows if he was saved.”
At this moment, Walker displayed his powerful reasoning ability.
“Recently, the only organization that has had a conflict with the Black Snake is the Central Guards Brigade. If a leader-level figure dies, the Central Guards Brigade won’t be so calm. They would raze Baraw to the ground. Lu Beichen is a very terrifying person. He would avenge his subordinates. Things won’t be like it is now with just a simple bombing.”
Evans lay on his side, silent for several seconds.
“From what you’re saying, you’ve already confirmed that the mastermind behind this matter is the Central Guards Brigade?”
“Yes, he is our main target for investigation, and we can only investigate that man’s information,” Walker said.
“The other two leaders live in Yanjing, which is a forbidden zone for the whole world. Acting rashly there would be very disadvantageous for us. However, the specific actions need to be discussed with the Chairman.”
Evans nodded. “This matter involves the Joker, so we do need to be cautious. But I think the Chairman will agree because he doesn’t regard anyone in the world as a real threat.”
Walker lit a cigar beside him and said slowly,
“But I’m guessing that this matter might fall to the Hongmen of the Shianggang branch.”
The Huaxian people were no strangers to the Hongmen.
It had been mentioned in many movies, but they only knew that the Hongmen was a very large underground organization. They didn’t know that they were a branch of the Freemasons.
Its real influence is much greater than people imagined.
“If that’s the case, it will be easier,” Walker said with a smile.
“However, even if we hand it over to Hongmen, the two of us will probably have to secretly make a trip to Huaxia.”
Evans shrugged with a smile, “I think that’s fine. Just consider it a trip to Huaxia. I’m actually looking forward to it.”
