Chapter 145 - Bureau X
Chapter 145: Bureau X
Before the call ended, when she heard that the man was out of danger, Mo Zhu sneered, “Black Tiger, why are you in such a sorry state this time? You got surrounded on a mission? You’re really embarrassing the Pavilion of Love.”
Sighing, the man found a blind spot where the camera would not be able to capture him and leaned against the wall, pulling down the black mask that covered his face. This person was Black Tiger, one of the four great killers of the Pavilion of Love that Xu Huan had mentioned on the phone just now.
“Almighty K, you might not know this, but the person chasing me now really has nothing to do with the mission I accepted. It’s that group of brats from Bureau X. It’s probably because they remember that I had disrupted their business the last time. Just as I arrived in Beijing this morning, they blocked my way at Golden Sands Beach. I didn’t expect that after more than a year, they still won’t let me off!” Black Tiger swallowed his saliva and complained angrily.
When Mo Zhu heard this, she propped her chin on one hand and pondered for a few seconds. “The people from Bureau X? Are you sure it’s them? Have you provoked any other enemies on your recent missions?”
The incident this time was so similar that Mo Zhu couldn’t help but suspect that the person Huo Xuan was chasing was Black Tiger. Just now, she had already understood the terrain and street situation of Golden Sands Beach very clearly through the GPS. At this time, other than Black Tiger being surrounded here, there was no sign of anyone else fighting within a few kilometers.
Before Mo Zhu could think it through, Black Tiger lowered his voice and replied, “No. I haven’t taken on any big orders recently. Besides the time when I was careless and my whereabouts were discovered by Bureau X, I didn’t leave any evidence for the other missions. It shouldn’t be wrong as they were able to mobilize so many people to stop me.”
Mo Zhu pinched her brows and asked indifferently, “Do you know someone named Huo Xuan? Or Xu Huan?”
Upon hearing Mo Zhu’s question, the other party seemed to have thought for a while. After more than ten seconds, he answered, “I’ve never heard of Huo Xuan, but I have some impression of Xu Huan. The eldest young master of the Xu family is considered quite famous in Beijing. The last time I took that order, I even bumped into him overseas!”
After a pause, Black Tiger seemed to have thought of something and asked excitedly, “Why did Almighty K suddenly ask about this? Are you going to deal with these two people? This matter is easy to handle. You don’t have to take action personally, let me help…”
Before the man could finish, Mo Zhu interrupted him anxiously, “It’s alright. I was just asking casually. Since you don’t have much contact with them, it’s alright.”
“Oh,” Black Tiger replied softly. He thought that these two people had provoked Almighty K and he even wanted to help Almighty K get rid of them to return the favor. He didn’t expect him to be happy for nothing.
“Alright, it’s even harder to get out of this museum. Think about how you’re going to deal with it yourself. I have something on, so I’ll hang up first.”
After saying this, Mo Zhu hung up the call without waiting for a reply.
No matter how Mo Zhu thought about it, the matter with Black Tiger had something to do with Huo Xuan. This was a huge problem. If he really had a conflict with Huo Xuan, with Mo Zhu’s current status, she really didn’t know who she should help.
Not only was Mo Zhu in a difficult position, but Huo Xuan’s situation wasn’t any better either. Seeing that Black Tiger whom he had chased for a year and almost captured had escaped, he slammed his fist on the desk in anger.
“D*mn! The Black Tiger escaped again!” Huo Xuan’s voice was cold, and there was a hint of indignation in his voice.
Xu Huan was talking to the man on the phone. At this moment, he also grumbled on the other end of the phone, “So many people have been mobilized, why did we let him escape? The vicinity of Golden Sands Beach is surrounded by us. This person shouldn’t have disappeared into thin air!”
Huo Xuan turned off his computer in frustration. No matter how he thought about it, he couldn’t figure out where Black Tiger could escape to. His eyes darkened as he instructed Xu Huan coldly, “Send someone to continue monitoring his every move. If there’s any news, report it to me immediately. I don’t believe he can escape from under the watch of so many people the next time!”
After instructing Xu Huan, Huo Xuan wasn’t in the mood to continue investigating Black Tiger’s escape route. Remembering that he hadn’t finished breakfast with Mo Zhu, he hung up and went downstairs.
After returning to the dining table, Mo Zhu was enjoying the warm sweet porridge. Huo Xuan quickly walked over and took out two eggs that were still steaming with heat. He sat on the chair and peeled them slowly.
Seeing the man come downstairs, Mo Zhu lowered her head and asked as she ate her porridge, “Are you done?”
He placed the eggs that had been removed from their shells onto the plate in front of the girl and replied indifferently, “Yes, it’s done, but we didn’t manage to catch him and he escaped.”
The answer met what she expected. At that instant, Mo Zhu did not know how to respond and she could only smile politely as she replied, “It’s alright. You’ve failed this time but you can continue working hard for the next time.”
Nodding, Huo Xuan looked at Mo Zhu gently. “Okay, let’s not talk about this anymore. Hurry up and eat breakfast.”
Knowing that Huo Xuan didn’t want to talk too much about it, Mo Zhu wouldn’t ask for trouble. The two of them didn’t say anything else and they finished breakfast in a short while.
After tidying up the table briefly, Huo Xuan instructed Mo Zhu to take good care of herself before driving to the company to settle some matters.
Mo Zhu was a little bored. She sat quietly on the sofa in the living room and played with her phone from time to time.
At this moment, another unknown number called. When she saw the last few digits of the number, Mo Zhu cleared her throat and picked up the call.
