"Uh--"

All Xu Hao's movements stopped abruptly, Sneak Attack's fists hung softly, and his feet left the ground.

The whole person was lifted up by Fang Cheng with one hand, and his throat seemed to be tightly locked by iron vices.

The feeling of suffocation instantly surged through his body like a tide, and his face turned from white to blue, and then quickly turned to a shocking purple-red.

He struggled desperately, grabbing Fang Cheng's arm with both hands, but it was like a fly shaking a tree, motionless.

Fang Cheng looked expressionlessly at Xu Hao struggling futilely in his hands. In the depths of his cold pupils, Killing Intent condensed like substance.

However, at that moment when Killing Intent was about to burst out, a familiar face flashed through Fang Cheng's mind. He loosened his fingers slightly and threw Xu Hao back on the sofa like trash.

"Cough cough cough..."

Xu Hao fell on the sofa, covered his neck and coughed violently, breathing heavily, his eyes filled with horror and disbelief.

At that moment, he truly felt death approaching.

My throat hurt so much, as if it had been burned by a soldering iron, and every time I swallowed it felt like it was being cut by a knife.

The muscles in his limbs were shaking slightly uncontrollably, and he didn't even have the strength to stand up again.

Fang Cheng looked at him condescendingly, his tone without any emotion:

"If it weren't for your father's sake, just because you attacked me just now, you would be a corpse now."

As he spoke, he stepped forward, and his tall body enveloped the trembling Xu Hao like Shadows:

"Now, tell me everything you know about that organization."

"As long as you satisfy me, I can consider sparing your life, and I can also keep your secret collusion with Special Search Team a secret for the time being."

Xu Hao was breathing heavily, and the shirt on his back was soaked with cold sweat.

He looked at the man in front of him, who looked gentle but exuded terror Aura, and felt a deep sense of powerlessness in his heart.

Resistance? It's impossible.

From the moment he burst out into trouble to the time he was subdued, the whole process probably didn't even take a second!

Strength, speed, skills... an all-round, crushing gap!

He couldn't even touch the corner of the opponent's clothes! This was not a weight contest at all!

Xu Hao Now I finally understand that the last time I fought in the ring, I was able to get a draw because the opponent showed mercy.

And if you don't show any kindness at all, that's like letting go of the Pacific Ocean!

After struggling internally for a moment, Xu Hao lowered his head dejectedly, his voice extremely hoarse due to the previous suffocation:

"What do you want to know?"

He knew that he no longer had any bargaining chips at this moment.

"Why is Noah Organization targeting this little Sparring Partner like me?"

Fang Cheng asked bluntly.

"They... are not just targeting you."

Xu Hao answered feebly, but couldn't help but complain in his heart: You are a little Sparring Partner, then am I not even a fart?

When Fang Cheng heard this, his eyebrows moved almost imperceptibly, and then he said "oh", indicating Xu Hao to continue.

"They received the task from above and are investigating all the Combat masters who have emerged recently in Eastern Capital and have impressive skills."

Seeing Fang Cheng staring at him with an indifferent expression, Xu Hao could only continue to explain honestly:

"In other words, we are planning to put "abnormal individuals" like you... who are incredibly skilled, have no obvious foundation, and have not joined the Official Authorities organization on the long-term observation list."

Fang Cheng's eyes flashed slightly, which was slightly different from his previous guess.

After thinking for a moment, he asked:

"How is the investigation progressing? How many people have been targeted?"

"The specific progress is unclear. I am a newcomer and am not qualified to perform tasks for the time being. But according to the information I have gathered, there must be at least dozens of people listed as targets of preliminary investigation. You... are just one of them."

Listening to Xu Hao's explanation, Fang Cheng still has an unsolved mystery in his mind:

"Why are they suddenly targeting me? Is it because of what you just said?"

"Because... you've been showing up too quickly on the East City Association lately."

Xu Hao glanced at Fang Cheng and whispered:

"Old Ghost Shen seems to value you very much and regards you as a key training target. Moreover, you have become more and more famous as Sparring Partner in Global Elite Club. Many professional players have praised you for your good performance as Physical Quality."

"Even Club, where I usually practice boxing, has people talking about you. Now, whether on the road or in the boxing circle, you are somewhat famous, and you have naturally entered their sight."

"It's just..."

Having said this, Xu Hao seemed to be hesitant and his eyes flickered.

"Just what, say!"

Fang Cheng's eyes suddenly became sharp, exuding real pressure.

Xu Hao's body trembled, he didn't dare to hide it, and said in a low voice:

"They further investigated and found that you are probably the mysterious master who destroyed Red Tiger Gang Drug Factory last year. At least according to the descriptions of the young ladies who witnessed it, the physical characteristics are 70 to 80% similar, so you became the target of the organization's focus."

Fang Cheng frowned slightly. Unexpectedly, the seemingly inconspicuous contact with the East City Association unexpectedly attracted the attention of Noah.

After a change of thought, he immediately stared at Xu Hao with bright eyes and continued to ask:

"How long have they been investigating?"

"It seems like it just started. After I accidentally discovered that your name appeared on the list, I immediately ran to Club, hoping to use this information to make a deal with you, but..."

Xu Hao's attitude was very honest, but his voice became smaller and smaller, and he did not continue talking at this point.

Fang Cheng knew what he meant, frowned and thought for a moment, and let out a breath.

Then, pretending to be curious, he asked:

"In addition to investigating the anomalous individuals, don't Noah Organization's people in Eastern Capital have any other actions?"

"Yes, they were actually investigating another more important matter before."

After being so honest, he no longer had any intention of hiding secrets for the organization.

Xu Hao swallowed, looked around, and asked in a lower voice:

"Have you heard of the Lingang District Dock Warehouse massacre last year?"

Fang Cheng's heart moved, but his face remained calm, as if he just heard about a very ordinary case.

Xu Hao saw that he had no reaction, so he continued:

"That night, someone bloodbathed Wu Shihao's Stronghold. I heard that they killed nearly two hundred members of Gang. The corpses were piled up like a hill. The method was extremely cruel and bloody... Tsk tsk!"

He smacked his lips, as if he was recalling the rumors he had heard, and also as if he was trying to hide his inner fear:

"This incident shocked the entire Eastern Capital underground world, and also alarmed Noah Organization. The higher-ups sent many people here and there to secretly investigate the murderer's traces."

"However, those guys have their nostrils turned upward and act like they are superior to others all day long. They have tortured the entire Red Tiger Gang several times, but they haven't even found a single hair..."

His tone was filled with obvious complaints and disdain, as if he looked down upon his colleagues.

"Oh? One person killed nearly two hundred people? So strong?!"

Fang Cheng pretended to be surprised and raised his voice, then nodded thoughtfully:

"No wonder Noah Organization is able to mobilize all the troops to investigate. This Assassin is a hero. I really want to see him if I have the chance. It would be better if I could make friends."

His acting skills were perfect, and his tone and demeanor were full of shock and admiration, as if he really admired a "strong man" whom he had never met before.

"Friend? Forget it!"

Xu Hao heard this, but couldn't help but sneered:

"That murderer is indeed very strong, just like a monster. However, according to private analysis and speculation by the investigators of the organization, that guy is most likely a super pervert who has been without a parent since he was a child and has no one to discipline him, and has an extremely twisted psychology!"

"Just think about it, if a normal person asks you to kill two hundred chickens in a row, your hands and legs will be weak, but he can actually kill so many people in one go without changing his expression..."

Xu Hao was so excited that he almost forgot about his "prisoner" situation.

He had no idea that the "psychologically twisted super perverted murderer" he spoke of was standing in front of him at this moment.

And because of his description, he frowned slightly, a fierce gleam of Danger flashed in his eyes, and he stared at him coldly.

"But what really gives Noah Organization a headache is not how many Red Tiger Gang people died."

Xu Hao did not notice anything unusual, and continued to speak, his voice lowered, as if he was revealing a huge secret:

"I heard that that night, Wu Shih Hao lost an extremely important "Experimental Subject". They have been tracing the whereabouts of the murderer and want to find Experimental Subject. This is their most important task."

"Experimental Subject?"

Fang Cheng's eyes narrowed, and the fierce glare in his eyes instantly disappeared, and he asked:

"What is that? Any progress in the investigation?"

"They are just living test subjects participating in medical experiments. I don't know what they are exactly."

Xu Hao shook his head, with a hint of helplessness on his face:

"They act very cautiously and strictly keep secrets from the outside. I am just a newbie who has joined the organization and I don't have access to this kind of core information. I only know that they attach great importance to this Experimental Subject and have invested a lot of manpower and material resources."

Fang Cheng was silent for a moment, digesting all the information. Suddenly the topic changed and he looked at Xu Hao sharply:

"These changes in your body and the "Experimental Subject" you mentioned are all related to the Human Modification Experiment that Noah Organization carried out secretly, right?"

Xu Hao heard this, with a self-deprecating smile on his face, and slumped on the sofa feebly:

"You already know so much, why bother asking..."

This is tantamount to default.

He himself may be one of the many failed or semi-finished "Experimental Subject" in Noah Organization.

Fang Cheng nodded and stopped asking this topic.

Looking at the man in front of him whose confidence had been completely shattered, he slowly spoke and made a request that made Xu Hao stunned:

"From today on, you will be my internal agent, contact me regularly, and tell me all the information you know about Special Search Team and Noah Organization."

Xu Hao suddenly raised his head and looked at Fang Cheng in astonishment, and was speechless for a moment.

"You also want me to be your spy?"

Fang Cheng looked at him strangely and caught a key word.

What is it called?

Xu Hao knew he had let it slip, so he quickly closed his mouth and dodged his eyes.

Fang Cheng didn't dwell too much on this issue, and then smiled slightly:

"That's right. You should understand that this is the best choice for you, or even the only choice."

"Otherwise, the secret between you and Special Search Team will be known to Red Tiger Gang sooner or later. You should know better than me what consequences you will face."

Fang Cheng's tone seemed calm, but it carried an unquestionable meaning.

Xu Hao was sitting on the sofa, scratching his hair irritably, with unwillingness and helplessness intertwined on his face.

Fang Cheng looked at his struggling expression, so he continued to add more:

"Besides, since you already have a cooperative mission with Special Search Team, what difference does it make to you if you take on one more mission? If you have too many lice, you don't have to worry about it. If you have too many debts, you don't have to worry. The principles are the same."

"I have no grudge against Official Authorities organizations like Special Search Team. I am mainly concerned about the movements of Noah Organization. When this organization is eradicated in Eastern Capital, won't you be free?"

Xu Hao remained silent, and the sound of his heavy breathing was particularly clear in the quiet room.

He clenched his fists and weighed the pros and cons intensely in his mind.

Although Fang Cheng's words are harsh, they hit the point every time.

Ever since I chose to cooperate with Special Search Team, I have no way out.

What's more, the threat of Fang Cheng is like a sharp sword hanging above his head, making it impossible for him to take any chances.

Instead of waiting passively, it is better to take the initiative and maybe get a frontline for yourself Level Up.

"Okay, I promise you."

Xu Hao finally spoke, with a hint of helplessness and compromise in his tone. "But you must agree to one condition."

Seeing that he dared to throw out chips to negotiate terms at this time, Fang Cheng raised his eyebrows and motioned for him to continue.

"I need protection."

Xu Hao took a deep breath and looked directly into Fang Cheng's eyes:

"If Special Search Team or Noah Organization finds out that I am working for you and leaks information to you, I need you to guarantee my safety."

Fang Cheng nodded to express understanding:

"As long as you do what I say, I will definitely try my best to protect you."

Xu Hao did not believe it, gritted his teeth and said:

"I need you to swear!"

Fang Cheng looked at the complex light mixed with fear, unwillingness and the last glimmer of hope in Xu Hao's eyes and was silent for a moment.

Then, he slowly raised his right hand and said solemnly:

"I, Fang Cheng, hereby swear an oath that as long as you, Xu Hao, do not betray me and faithfully provide information, if you Danger fall into a fatal situation because of me in the future, I will do my best to help you. If you violate this oath, I will lose all my strength and eventually die a good death."

After hearing these words, Xu Hao's tense body finally relaxed a little and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Although the deep-rooted uneasiness in my heart has not been completely eliminated.

But at least, the promise given by this mysterious and powerful man in front of him gave him a vague sense of security for the time being.

He knew that there was no turning back, so he could only choose to believe and take this gamble.

"At least this guy is insanely strong."

Xu Hao comforted himself in his heart, "Even if you can't defeat the regular army of Noah and Special Search Team, if you run away with me at the critical moment, you should still have some confidence..."

After letting go of his worries, Xu Hao's attitude became much calmer and he began to consider practical issues:

"Then how will we contact you in the future? My mobile phone is definitely not working. Special Search Team's grandsons may have installed monitoring equipment on it. Maybe the calls can be monitored by them..."

As he spoke, he patted his forehead and seemed to remember something. He quickly moved his buttocks, trying to find the mobile phone he had just thrown aside, but he never found it.

Suddenly, out of the corner of his eye, he caught a glimpse of a pile of black debris scattered on the ground.

The phone was trampled to pieces, the plastic casing and metal parts were twisted and deformed, and the original appearance was almost unrecognizable.

Xu Hao's heart trembled, and then he realized that Fang Cheng had already dealt with this hidden danger.

In fact, when Fang Cheng sneaked into the house, he used "Scavenger's Eye" to scan the entire room and showed up to talk after confirming that there were no suspicious items.

At this moment, after careful consideration, I replied:

"In the past few days, if you have an emergency or important information, come to me at Global Elite Club. You can do it in the name of visiting your father, and they won't be suspicious."

After a pause, he added:

"After some time, when I have settled down, I will give you a new contact method that is absolutely safe."

Then, Fang Cheng suddenly changed the subject, with a hint of warning:

"Remember, any important trends regarding Special Search Team and Noah Organization, especially those involving myself, must be told to me as soon as possible."

"If you dare to conceal anything, or deliberately provide false information... Huh, even if Noah Organization doesn't touch you, I will let you have a taste of what life is worse than death. Don't doubt my methods!"

The cold Killing Intent filled the air again, making Xu Hao shiver and immediately responded loudly:

"I, Xu Hao, have always told the truth on the road. I am a man who spits and spits. Now that I have promised you, if I still dare to play tricks, I will die badly!"
