Chapter 82

Mudrock was a beat slow to react, pausing for a second or two before realizing the question was directed at him, and replied:

"Not yet. I rushed over as soon as I learned that someone wanted to harm Lord Shi Lei. My subordinates should have reported this to Old Mr. Lin."

Her only master is Shi Lei, so she doesn't call Lin Gerei" Boss" or "Gang Leader," but rather "Old Mr. Lin."

At the same time.

The infected under the management of Mudrock reported to the Rat King that someone wanted to assassinate Shi Lei and Texas.

They knew these two were the gang leader's honored guests, so they didn't hide it from him to avoid being blamed if something happened.

Lin Gerei was not in a convenient position to appear in person, so he quickly called his daughter, Lin Yuxia, to go to Upper City to meet up with Shi Lei.

He wasn't worried about the kid being in danger; there weren't many in Lungmen who could hurt Shi Lei. His real fear was that the employer was a wealthy conglomerate, and then it would come down to things other than brute force.

Lin Gerei sent his daughter over hoping she could help put on a good show. Regardless of who the other party was, they needed to firmly stand on Shi Lei's side and provide practical support.

March 2nd, 2:02 PM

Not long after Shi Lei hung up Lin Yuxia's call, the three of Croissant drove to the entrance of the Lungmen Guard Department.

Once the Mudrock entered a certain area, I immediately felt my whole body filled with abundant vitality.

Ah~

That's the feeling!

After getting out of the car, she came up to him and knelt on one knee:

"I'm late, sir, please forgive me."

A beautiful Sarkaz woman bowed to a man at the entrance of the Lungmen Guard Department building, immediately attracting a lot of attention.

Shi Lei quickly stepped forward and reached out to help him up:

"Get up, we don't need to be so formal anymore. Can't we just talk normally?"

Mudrock lowered its head, as if it had done something wrong. Judging from its tone, it seemed to realize the problem:

"Yes, sir, I understand."

Shi Lei didn't mean to blame her, but he felt that such a formal bow was a bit inappropriate for the occasion.

Seeing that more and more people were looking in their direction, he told everyone to move to a corner a few dozen meters away.

Exusiai, not understanding, asked:

"Zhongli, what are you waiting for here? Could it be that the employer who hired the assassin..."

Are they from the Lungmen Guard Department?

"No, don't make wild guesses. Isu is still investigating the employer. We'll take action once we have the results."

More than ten minutes later, Lin Yuxia arrived at the scene, holding a pink phone and apologizing to everyone:

"Sorry we're late. Have you found out who hired the assassin?"

Mudrock saw the phone, she suddenly realized what was happening. She pulled out her flip phone and said weakly:

"Sir, this is my subordinate's phone number. He helped me register an account for the assassin organization. I took the job to assassinate you today. The client's phone number is on this; I wonder if it can be of any help to you?"

"Ah?"

Shi Lei never expected that someone would dare to take on an assassination job, and he never expected that the person who took the job would be his own family member.

What's this? A classic case of the underdog overthrowing the superior?

132. It is our duty.

Seeing the strange look Shi Lei gave him, Mudrock felt extremely nervous, and his voice trembled slightly as he spoke:

"Sir, it's a misunderstanding... I, I didn't mean to hurt you, really! My subordinate had already accepted the order when he gave me the phone. I really wanted to cancel it, but I was afraid of messing things up. I wonder if the employer's phone number stored on it might be of any help to you."

As for whether it would be useful, Shi Lei wasn't sure. He simply called Isu to inquire about the results of the investigation:

"Hey, it's me. How's the investigation going?"

"It's still being verified. This cosmetics company, which is affiliated with the Schwayer Group, has received investment from several senior executives of the Schwayer Group. The money in the accounts is all kept in the same account, making it very difficult to trace."

Isu said it's troublesome, then it really is troublesome.

"I have the employer's phone number. Will it help with the investigation? The number is XXXXX..."

There was no response from the other end of the microphone, only the clattering sound of continuous typing. About three minutes later, Isu finally replied:

"This is a brand new phone number with no previous month's communication history."

I have hacked into the backend of the Lungmen Communications Bureau. You can try dialing this number and maintaining communication for at least 30 seconds so that I can locate the signal.

If possible, you should have your employer transfer another sum of money from that account, any amount. Once the transfer is made, I can trace the money back to the account holder's identity.

"Okay, we'll discuss it and make a call right away. Keep an eye on things. Bye."

Shi Lei ended the call, not wanting to drag this out for too long; he hoped it could be resolved today.

It's now confirmed that the employer is most likely a high-ranking executive who attended Suiya internal meeting. However, his voice has been heard before, making him easily recognizable on the phone.

The six people surrounding Shi Lei were all women, which did not match the code name of the assassin Hammer King.

The employer might hang up immediately upon hearing a woman's voice, thus ending the transaction.

After he expressed this concern, Lin Yuxia raised her right hand and volunteered:

"How about I do it?"

"Your voice sounds so gentle."

"It's alright, I can lower my voice and make it rough. Besides, an assassin's profession shouldn't allow people to recognize their true voice. Even if it sounds like a woman's voice, it might not be detected."

The insights of a gangster's Eldest Daughter are indeed unique.

Shi Lei had never dealt with assassins before, and he thought Lin Yuxia's words made a lot of sense. The main problem was that no one else on site was up to the task; otherwise, they should let her give it a try.

After communicating with Mudrock and understanding the details, Lin Yuxia used her flip phone to call her employer back.

The people standing around kept their mouths shut, afraid that any unusual noises would interfere with the call.

"Beep beep beep..."

After nearly a minute of unanswered calls, just when everyone thought all hope was lost, the call suddenly connected:

"Click."

However, no sound came from the other end of the microphone, which made the employer seem quite cautious.

"I am the Hammer King."

Lin Yuxia lowered her voice and gave Shi Lei an OK sign, indicating that Isu could begin tracking.

She tried everything she could to stall for time:

"I need to confirm something with you."

There was still no one speaking on the other end of the microphone. But the employer hadn't hung up, meaning they were still listening.

Lin Yuxia lowered her voice and continued:

"Before you chose me, you should have known that I had special requirements. The amount of compensation doesn't matter, but the target must be an utterly wicked person."

Exusiai silently kept time, crossing two fingers to make a 'ten' sign.

The employer remained silent, but didn't hang up either. Lin Yuxia's heart was in her throat, fearing something might go wrong.

"I've heard of the two targets you mentioned. But investigating their backgrounds requires additional money to buy intelligence. I haven't received the deposit from the person in charge yet. Could you transfer another 10,000 Lungmen Dollars?"

This suggestion is reasonable and flawless. As long as the other party makes the payment, Isu can investigate.

"Can't we just take action directly?"

The employer finally spoke, but in a high-pitched voice that sounded very shrill.

Beatrix listened intently nearby, but couldn't discern which relative it was.

"Sure, but it'll cost extra."

"How many?"

Lin Yuxia pondered for a moment and gave a quote:

"Five times the price, I won't bother checking their backgrounds, I'll just scout the place and take them out."

The microphone went silent.

After a minute of silence, he said:

"The money has been transferred, so make sure it's clean."

After saying that, the employer hung up the phone.

Only then did the women breathe a sigh of relief.

The minute or so I spent talking to the employer felt like several minutes; it was incredibly long. Thankfully, I achieved my goal without any major mishaps, and even exceeded it.

Six women came to Shi Lei's side, listening to his newly established communication with Isu:

"We found it. The phone's location is in the Schwayer Group Building, but we can't pinpoint the exact floor. The account holder's name is Charlie Suiya."

"Ah?"

Upon hearing the name, Beatrix gave a strange look. Seeing everyone looking at her, she explained:

Charlie Suiya is the father of Richard Suiya and the third-in-command of the Schwayer Group.

I don't think Charlie had anything to do with this; it must have been his arrogant son Richard. Wait a minute, I'll call Old Chen.

Now that the employer's identity and location have been confirmed, the next step is to call the police to conduct an arrest.

Professional tasks should be left to professionals.

In the past, she definitely wouldn't have contacted that woman first. But now, Shi Lei is involved, and the incident was caused by her own actions.

Once the call connected, Beatrix spoke:

"Intestine... Officer Chen, where are you?"

"Ha, it's really surprising that you would call me."

"I have important business to attend to. Go to the Schwayer Group Building right now and arrest a suspect who hired someone to commit murder."

The fact that someone who was clearly from Suiya's family called the police to arrest people at their own company amused Chen.

"What, are you going to put the greater good before your own family?"

"Pretty much. A relative of ours hired a hitman to assassinate Shi Lei and Texas. But we intercepted the message and even tracked down the employer's identity and address. Now all that's missing is a police officer with an overflowing sense of justice to come to our door and use swift and decisive measures to eradicate this evil."

Upon hearing that Shi Lei was involved, Chen became serious:

"Don't try to provoke me with those words. I have a duty to eradicate evil. Just wait at the door."

After saying that, he hung up the phone.

As for whether the transaction records illegally obtained by Isu are useful, you'll have to ask Officer Chen on the spot.

"Let's go, get in the car."

Croissant called to his three colleagues and they got into the pickup truck.

Beatrix and Mudrock couldn't fit, Lin Yuxia had to call a driver, which made room for three people.

The group left the Lungmen Guard Department building and soon arrived at the Schwayer Group building.

133 Start liquidation

After arriving at the Schwayer Group Building, the seven people stood across the street and waited.

About ten minutes later, Chen joined everyone with a Special Inspectorate.

Beatrix was unsure whether illegally obtained information could be used as evidence, so she consulted Hoshiguma in the queue:
