Moreover, when I sent them on this mission, I didn't even expect them to complete the task or rescue Master Kun Ze. I wanted to take this opportunity to demonstrate our strength to the Huaxia police and warn them that they are incapable of contending with us!"

"This…" Tan Shaojie's words left Du Kongting utterly speechless.

He could never have imagined that the Ghostly Legs Young Master would be so arrogant as to dare to confront the state apparatus of Huaxia Country!

Did he really believe that just a few of them could rescue Kun Ze Haosan from under the tight siege of the Huaxia police?

As for rescuing Kun Ze Haosan, Du Kongting had little confidence to begin with. But it was a direct order from headquarters, and as the person in charge of the Bin Yang Substation, he had no choice but to do his utmost to cooperate with Tan Shaojie in completing the mission.

Shasha shasha!

Just as everyone in the office fell silent, suddenly a noise like the movement of dragons and snakes came from outside the window.

Ah! What is that…

Having never heard such a bizarre sound before, Du Kongting's complexion changed drastically, and he hurried to the window to see.

"They're here!" However, Tan Shaojie didn't even glance outside and calmly stated.

Whoosh!

As soon as Tan Shaojie's voice fell, the window flung open, a strong gale burst in from outside, and along with it, a figure shot in like a swift arrow.

The newcomer was tall and slender, dressed in black with his face covered by a mask, looking extremely mysterious. Du Kongting, upon seeing this person, cried out in shock.

It was not because of the person's odd attire that surprised him, but rather the manner of his arrival was utterly inconceivable!

Keep in mind, his office was on the top floor of the twelve-story building. How on Earth did this person manage to freely climb through the window like a ghostly apparition?

Could it be… this guy was even more incredible than the likes of Superman and Spider-Man?

As Du Kongting stood there, agape with astonishment, Tan Shaojie and the others acted as if this were completely normal. Tan Shaojie glanced at the newcomer and asked coldly, "Back already?"

"Yes!" The man nodded and then shook his head, "Chi Hu hasn't come back!"

This man was Viper, Tan Shaojie's most formidable sniper. Viper spoke concisely and to the point, wasting no words.

Upon hearing Viper's words, the other three subordinates all showed dramatic changes in their expressions.

Du Kongting was even more unsettled as he exclaimed, "What? Do you mean to say… Chi Hu has been captured by the police?"

His look was one of panic as he turned to Tan Shaojie, "Shaojie, this is bad. I always said the Bin Yang police were tough to deal with. Especially that female detective captain—she's a real daredevil! This time we've really messed up, not only failing to steal the chicken but also losing the rice in the process…"

"President Du, keep your composure!"

Tan Shaojie had been calm, his facial expression barely changing even at the news of his subordinate being caught. But the idiom that Du Kongting used made his facial muscles twitch, and he stared unhappily at Du Kongting.

No chicken caught, instead losing the rice!

What kind of saying was that? Did Du Kongting really think of them as petty thieves who steal chickens and dogs? They were, in fact, international super thieves!

"Shaojie, regarding this matter, we should probably take a longer view. How about I use some of my connections first and find out what's going on with the police?"

Though now rich and powerful, Du Kongting knew that Tan Shaojie was something of an Imperial Envoy sent by headquarters, and he wouldn't dare offend him lightly.

Seeing Tan Shaojie's displeased expression, Du Kongting could only lower his stance and speak to him in a tone of negotiation.

"No need!" Tan Shaojie's face was cold as ice as he extended his hand and straightforwardly rejected Du Kongting's suggestion.

After that, he turned to Viper and asked, "What exactly happened? With your skills, I don't believe anyone from the Huaxia police could have troubled you."

"It was Ling Zhenfei!"

Viper once again conveyed the incident with his straightforward words, "Originally, Chi Hu and I had the situation under control, but out of nowhere, a young man appeared, quickly made his move and knocked down Chi Hu. I fired a shot at him, missed, and had to retreat."

So that's what happened!

Hearing Viper's recount, Tan Shaojie's eyebrows furrowed tightly, sinking into deep thought.

"Viper, how can you be sure that the young man was Ling Zhenfei? You haven't seen him before, have you?"

At that moment, the only female among the five great experts, Green Fox, walked up with a flirtatious smile and questioned Viper.

"In Binyang, who else besides Ling Zhenfei, who Tan Shaojie has mentioned, could knock down Chi Hu and dodge my bullet at the same time?"

A strange smile flashed across the corner of Viper's eye as he coldly replied, seemingly confirming his own judgment. He then proceeded to describe the characteristics of the young man.

"Ah! That indeed was Ling Zhenfei…"

Among those present, only Du Kongting had met Ling Zhenfei before. Upon hearing Viper's description, his expression changed drastically, and he exclaimed in shock.

"Hmph, quite the persistent ghost, this Ling Zhenfei is!"

In fact, even without Du Kongting's confirmation, Tan Shaojie believed Viper's judgment, convinced that the one who had captured Chi Hu was none other than Ling Zhenfei.

The corner of his mouth curled into a cruel smirk, Tan Shaojie snorted coldly, turned his back, and walked to the window ledge, gazing out at the distant streetscape for a long while.

Seeing this, everyone fell into a solemn silence as well.

They all knew that their Young Master Tan Shaojie was always a man of countless schemes. Since he was deep in thought, the next plan was certain to be even more meticulous…

"Shaojie…"

Du Kongting had not had much interaction with Tan Shaojie and was not too familiar with his dark and cold modus operandi.

Just as he was about to step forward and urge him on, Tan Shaojie's underlings glared sternly at him, forcing him to swallow the words he was about to say.

"President Du, don't worry!"

Tan Shaojie stretched out his hand to stop his underlings and then turned around, his expression still containing a hint of a smile as he looked at Du Kongting.

"Shaojie, with the situation developing like this, how can I not be anxious!"

Du Kongting was burning with impatience, having already lost his usual composure, and said anxiously, "What if… what if Chi Hu can't withstand the pressure and spills everything about us, the consequences would be unimaginable!"

"You're talking nonsense!" Before Du Kongting could finish speaking, he was interrupted by an angry shout.

The speaker was muscular and imposing, none other than Bao Xiong, the most explosive warrior among Tan Shaojie's men.

Bao Xiong stepped forward, pointing at Du Kongting and bellowed, "Du, Chi Hu is our brother in life and death. Among us, there's only life or death, no betrayal!"

These words, so powerful they seemed to shake the very mountains, left Du Kongting immediately intimidated by Bao Xiong's presence, he turned his head and fell silent, not daring to speak again.

"President Du, you don't have to worry. Chi Hu is my brother; even in death, he wouldn't betray us!"

Tan Shaojie waved Bao Xiong off and revealed a reassuring smile to Du Kongting. Then, turning his back with a confident air, he said, "Actually, Chi Hu's capture was something I had considered in my plans all along."
