Chapter 1 "Fifty Thousand Deposit Rich Second Generation, Why Only Buy One Hundred Yuan Cheap Headphones..."

The girl's voice sounded faintly.

The sound quality was a little rough, mixed with a very faint static current.

Gu Shen had just inserted his in-ear headphones and put on his baseball cap when he heard Chu Ling's complaint.

He had always communicated with the girl through text messages.

The voice he heard during their first meeting in the carriage was long gone, like a dream, and he couldn't remember it clearly.

Chu Ling's voice was very pleasant, ethereal and melodious like an elf, but unlike her weak appearance, this voice sounded powerful and full of life, making people feel grounded and secure.

This time, Gu Shen didn't feel like he was dreaming.

"You connected so quickly."

He explained earnestly, "It's easy to go from frugality to extravagance, but difficult to go from extravagance to frugality. And the 'electronic bill' thing..."

Even if he had known that there were five hundred thousand in that card, he would have made the same choice.

"I've been waiting for a long time." The girl smiled, a little helpless, "Have you forgotten what I do?"

"I can help you settle the electronic bill issue, just erase some accounts. Buy a better device next time. Actually, the first pair of glasses was pretty good."

Gu Shen was a little surprised.

Chu Ling saw him picking and choosing in the supermarket? But it was also reasonable. She had such powerful linking permissions, so it was not surprising that she could see anything.

"But as far as this operation is concerned... you still bought the right equipment." Chu Ling said, "There are too many places that need real-time monitoring, so be careful not to expose yourself. I'll keep an eye on things for you."

Night fell, and after leaving the city center, the dazzling neon lights gradually disappeared.

The old city was like a silent, faded painting, with distinct colors. After sunset, the streetlights lit up one by one, only illuminating a corner. Black and white seemed to be cut apart by ink—

Gu Shen was leaning against a remote corner, just outside the range of a streetlight. He was wearing a loose black tracksuit, like an upright shadow, silently gazing at the cordon a hundred meters away.

10:45 PM.

15 minutes until the operation.

He arrived an hour early and chose a good spot, located at a blind spot in the surveillance, with a clear view of the entire front of the old building's cordon. He could see the security guards patrolling the cordon, and a minibus drove up and parked next to the cordon.

"Did the relief arrive early?" Gu Shen was trying to adjust his breathing, calming his mind. "The plan never keeps up with changes... are they going to act next?"

Generally, they would arrive 5 minutes early.

"Maybe that's part of the plan?" Chu Ling chuckled softly, "Take a closer look."

Gu Shen had always had good eyesight. He squinted and saw several workers in bulky protective suits and masks getting off the minibus. One of them stepped forward to communicate with the security personnel at the cordon.

"These are the research institute personnel responsible for extracting information from the scene." Chu Ling said slowly, "Because the bodies of the two superhumans who attacked you were severely damaged, their identities can no longer be identified... so they need to rely on some technical means to restore the scene."

Gu Shen asked in a low voice, "So, these researchers are all from the Tribunal?"

"They should have been." Chu Ling replied, "You were involved in such a big incident, Zhou Jiren will definitely investigate this case thoroughly, following the clues, starting with those two superhumans, and rooting out the assassination organization behind them."

Gu Shen nodded, as he had thought. He suddenly paused, "Wait..."

"Should have been?"

"We are the fish, and they are the knife. Even if we are going to die, we have to struggle."

"Zhou Jiren is about to take action. Those people don't want to wait for death obediently. As long as they destroy the primary crime scene and destroy the evidence, they can make it impossible to verify anything." Chu Ling's voice sounded a bit mocking, "The real researchers haven't arrived yet. They are imposters."

Cold sweat broke out on Gu Shen's forehead.

These fake researchers had already taken out their documents. It seemed that the security personnel responsible for patrolling were complete outsiders, dispatched to guard the area because of the sudden incident... They did not recognize the forgery of the documents, nor did they realize that someone would impersonate the relief personnel.

Someone had already pulled open the cordon to let them pass.

"Don't worry, the show is just beginning. This group won't succeed so easily."

Chu Ling's voice became serious at this moment, "Have you memorized the infiltration route? The operation is about to begin."

Gu Shen nodded.

He stared intently into the distance.

Just as the security personnel were about to let them pass, a dark figure slowly walked out of the dilapidated darkness of the old building, reaching out to stop the researchers in their heavy protective suits.

...

...

"Wait a moment."

When this voice sounded.

Not only were the researchers stunned.

Even the security personnel responsible for patrolling were stunned.

Most of the security personnel here arrived at the scene as soon as the fire broke out, evacuating the crowd and protecting the victims... Because the incident was urgent, they were dispatched from nearby. After completing these tasks, they followed the orders of their superiors and set up this cordon.

Twenty-four hours, strictly preventing outsiders from entering, was to protect the primary crime scene and wait for the subsequent staff to take over.

They were sure that no one had entered the scene.

But this voice clearly came from inside the cordon... What the hell!

A slender young man walked out of the dark shadows of the old building. His features were handsome, and his complexion was as pale as a vampire. He just looked frail, as if he would fall over in the wind.

"Zhong... Mr. Zhong Wei!"

The captain responsible for protecting the scene recognized the identity of the young man. He immediately stood at attention and saluted.

This sudden fire seemed to involve a great deal.

The security personnel who arrived at the scene as soon as possible were only given the order to protect the scene, and knew nothing else. They only knew that after the shift change tonight, this case would be taken over by a very powerful task force.

The captain knew a little more information, just one more photo than the others.

That was Zhong Wei's photo.

The rumored leader of the task force that was about to take over... was this seemingly frail young man in front of him.

"Yes."

Zhong Wei nodded politely to the captain, as if to acknowledge him, and then took out his credentials and gave a brief self-introduction to the other security personnel: "Task Force, Zhong Wei."

"You... were here already?"

The captain gave a wry smile. That voice just now had scared him to death. He thought something had gone wrong.

Fortunately, it was one of their own.

"Just arrived." Zhong Wei didn't explain, just said indifferently, "The colleagues taking over haven't arrived yet, so I just took a look around the scene first."

In fact, he had been guarding here all along.

It was just that these security personnel had not noticed.

This case was related to superhumans. Zhong Wei arrived at the old building as soon as he received the notification, to prevent accidents from happening before the Tribunal's specialists arrived.

After Zhong Wei appeared.

The people on both sides of the cordon became unusually silent.

The movements of those researchers wearing heavy protective suits and masks visibly stiffened.

Only the leader remained calm, slowly retracting his hand and putting away his credentials.

"Mr. Zhong Wei... just checked their credentials... the seal is fine..." The captain noticed something was wrong and signaled his men to pull the cordon back up.

"Oh? The seal can't be forged..." Zhong Wei came to the leader of the researchers, "Since it's real, I'll check it again."

He reached out, signaling for them to hand over their credentials.

The other party slowly handed over the credentials.

At the moment of the handover—

A muffled laugh came from inside the soundproof mask.

With a "嗤" sound, the credentials instantly burst into flames, like a magician's fireworks.

The flames exploded out of thin air!

This scene was completely unexpected. The surrounding security personnel didn't even see what happened. They only saw a burst of bright fire scattering, like a starting gun firing—

The researchers in their bulky protective suits began to charge forward. Underneath the thick protective suits, their bodies were as strong as oxen. They knocked down the security personnel in front of them, then broke through the cordon and rushed violently into the old building.

"Bang!"

Zhong Wei's face was gloomy. He had been prepared for this. He kicked the fireworks in front of him with one foot.

His speed was astonishing. His seemingly frail body contained considerable fierce power. He turned around and delivered a devastating kick, knocking down a strong researcher trying to break through with a sweeping leg.

The leader, the "magician" who had created this chaos, turned around and ran away.

Zhong Wei turned his head and shouted angrily, "Stop them!"

A dozen security personnel swarmed forward, tackling the strong guys who were desperately trying to break into the old building to the ground.

These men were just physically strong, not superhumans!

They had to catch this leader... Zhong Wei's eyes were cold. He instantly locked onto the fleeing person. The other party was very cunning, escaping into the minibus, preparing to drive away.

Zhong Wei took a deep breath. He started running, his speed inhuman, more like a cheetah!

He jumped just as the minibus started. The minibus roared, kicking up dust as it accelerated, its body swaying like a snake, drifting wildly. Zhong Wei was nailed to the roof.

With a sharp U-turn.

Zhong Wei regained his balance, used the force to roll sideways, kicked through the glass, and landed inside the minibus.

He said coldly.

"Since you dared to come, don't even think about leaving."
