Chapter 158: Chapter 161: False Intelligence

(Thank you for your monthly ticket support, Godchong20... Thank you!!)

If it weren’t for this bastard, he wouldn’t have to be so depressed lately!

Since getting out of prison, he hadn’t felt this depressed for a long time, especially after he got connected with that guy in the back. Since he arrived in G City, almost everyone showed him respect, calling him Master Hao, and he rarely failed to get things done.

But ever since this bastard showed up, things started to go wrong. His plans kept getting ruined by him, causing him to be severely scolded by the man behind him, even to the point of nearly being replaced, had he not been so loyal. Fortunately, after Lord Hong took Shi San back, he must have spoken in his favor, since the tone of the man behind him softened a bit.

What depressed him the most was that this bastard had ruined so many of his plans, yet he was powerless to do anything about it. They had even told him where the guy lived, but he didn’t dare to trouble him. Even a badass like Lord Hong was injured by a punch from him, so did he dare to seek death? Now, he could only wait for Lord Hong to return or for the man behind him to decide what to do.

"Do you know this person?"

An ordinary-looking man became furiously clenched and turned pale as soon as he glanced at the photo, and couldn’t help but look at Sun Hao strangely and asked.

"I know him, even if he turned to ashes, I would recognize him."

Sun Hao raised his head, his eyes filled with a trace of anger, as he said.

"Who is he?"

"He is the one who injured Lord Hong!"

Sun Hao stated each word firmly.

"Is it him?"

The ordinary-looking man’s face suddenly changed as he muttered to himself, "No wonder, no wonder he could foresee my shot. I heard that by reaching the High Tier of Bone Tempering in ancient martial arts, one gains some intuition and can sense murderous intent. He must have sensed my murderous intent when I fired the shot."

Sun Hao now felt resigned to the man’s failed assassination, realizing that although the assassin was powerful, he found it hard to believe that he was stronger than Lord Hong. Facing someone even more formidable than Lord Hong, failure was all too ordinary.

"You gave me incorrect intelligence. You told me that woman had no bodyguards, yet she had such a powerful bodyguard."

The ordinary-looking man muttered to himself before suddenly turning and fixing his gaze on Sun Hao.

"I didn’t provide incorrect intelligence. I did a thorough investigation. That person truly has no relations with anyone named Zhang, at least, as far as I could find, absolutely no connection. I also don’t know why he’s always around someone with the surname Zhang."

Sun Hao frantically explained, knowing that the ordinary-looking man in front of him was no ordinary figure. Although he might not kill a freak like Lord Hong, he was sure that even with all the people in the bar and multiple layers of protection, this man could easily and stealthily shoot him dead. If he really shifted the blame onto him, it could spell big trouble.

"I will investigate on my own, and if you deceive me, you know the consequences."

The unremarkable man glanced coldly at Sun Hao and said nothing more. He stood up and walked towards the door.

"Definitely not!"

Sun Hao hurriedly stood up as well, wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, and respectfully watched the man leave.

After escorting the unremarkable man out of the bar, Sun Hao went to a sofa inside, collapsed onto it, and muttered, "That girl with the last name Zhang, she doesn’t seem anything special. Why is she given such importance from above? To the extent that they even sent such a professional and frightening assassin for her."

It was also weird. Clearly, there was no actual connection between the Xiao and that Zhang, yet why did the shadow of that Xiao bastard appear every time someone made a move on the Zhang girl?

At this thought, Sun Hao grew worried again.

I don’t know what the person behind this thinks, but if you ask me, why not send a high-level expert to finish off Xiao Yi directly?

Every time Sun Hao thought of Xiao Yi, remembering how he eliminated his two most capable aides and bodyguards, which left him feeling completely insecure, he couldn’t help but grind his teeth in hatred.

Just wait and see, in a couple of days Lord Hong will be back, and then it will be that kid’s death day!

Soon, Sun Hao found balance and comfort, thinking of the news he had just received. His expression eased slightly and a relieved smile appeared; he believed that after such a big loss last time, Lord Hong would hate Xiao Yi even more and would definitely not let him go.

...

"Next, we have a breaking news report. Following the disappearance of a child in Beixiu District yesterday, early this morning, another child disappearance occurred in the Redwater District. Reporters have now connected live with the head of the criminal investigation team from the city police bureau..."

While enjoying the simple yet delicious breakfast he had made, Xiao Yi shook his head as he watched the local news on TV. The world was indeed in chaos, and those criminals were daring enough to commit crimes so frequently and blatantly; they would surely be dealt with sooner or later.

However, he quickly recalled the efficiency of the police in handling cases and couldn’t help but shake his head again.

Not caring to hear what the head of the criminal investigation had to say any longer, he cleaned up the table and prepared to turn off the TV and head out.

"Huh?"

But just when Xiao Yi was about to turn off the television, the person shown on the screen made his eyes show a flicker of surprise. The officer being interviewed was someone he knew, the sister of Xiaoxiao, the beautiful policewoman, Zeng Xiaomei.

Zeng Xiaomei’s face was very serious, showing a hint of fatigue as if she hadn’t had a good rest for a while. Facing the reporter’s questions and the camera lens, her eyes were firm, exhibiting a valiant look. She didn’t waste words, her tone decisive, "We preliminarily confirm that this is a heinous crime involving an organized child trafficking ring. Our criminal police team will do our utmost to solve this case as soon as possible, providing an explanation to the citizens, and we will capture all involved in this child trafficking crime. At the same time, we urge all citizens to stay alert, watch over their children, and recently avoid letting their children go alone to playgrounds, amusement parks, or other public places, especially remote ones, and if possible, arrange for parents to escort them to and from school."
