"You… you rascal…" Chris was marveling at Zhou Yi's capabilities when he suddenly felt something was off.

Did he forget something?

"You almost fooled me!" Chris slapped his forehead. "You said you wanted to catch two people earlier. Who were those two people?"

"I'm warning you, it's best not to pull stunts like this again. It makes things difficult for me!"

"Don't worry, when have I ever done anything I wasn't sure of? I won't make things difficult for you!" Zhou Yi waved his hand. "I'm going to Wisconsin. The two people I need to catch this time are just ordinary people."

"Ordinary people?" Chris asked, confused. "If they're just ordinary people, why do you need to tell me specifically?"

"Their identities are indeed ordinary, but someone very close to them is not."

Zhou Yi explained, "Their son is the CIA agent I'm cooperating with. The CIA will soon discover that the list was stolen by him, and because the intelligence involved is too serious, I believe the CIA won't mind using extreme measures."

"So, you plan to capture his parents beforehand and provide protection?" Chris instantly understood Zhou Yi's intention and nodded decisively. "Go ahead!"

"I like your straightforwardness, Director," Zhou Yi smiled. "When I get back, I'll teach you how to drive!"

"Fuck, can you stop saying that in such a disgusting way? Also, this 'when I get back'… don't you always say that kind of talk is like… jinxing it? That something ominous will happen?" Chris asked.

"Ah, that's true," Zhou Yi said as he walked out. "But for me, that rule doesn't apply."

"Why?"

"Because I'm strong enough, and stable enough!"

Wisconsin, a clothing factory.

The Hunters, Ethan's parents, looked at the team of agents who had suddenly burst in with terrified expressions.

"What… what do you want?" Kruoff Hunter asked, mustering his courage.

The lead agent didn't answer Kruoff's question. Instead, he took out a photo and compared it.

An agent next to him asked, "Are you sure?"

"I'm very sure, it's exactly the same."

The lead agent handed him the photo, then addressed Kruoff, "Kruoff Hunter, Maggie Hunter, you are both accused of being the masterminds behind an international drug trafficking syndicate. The CIA will arrest you. You have the right to remain silent, but anything you say…"

"Wait!" "Put your guns down!" "Which department are you from?"

Just then, a commotion could be heard from outside the factory.

The lead agent's words stopped. He frowned and looked at an agent who had just run in from outside, asking, "What's going on?"

"IRS…" the agent replied. "The IRS is here!"

"What?" The lead agent was stunned.

Before he could even process why the IRS would be here, the factory's iron gate was kicked open, and a team of fully armed agents, wearing uniforms with the "IRS" logo, stormed in in tactical formation.

"Who is in charge?" the lead agent Zhou Yi asked.

"I am CIA Special Agent Level 3, Steve Ross," Steve replied, frowning slightly. "Who are you?"

"I am IRS Armed Division Special Agent Level 4, Worsley Baba." Zhou Yi took out the recently made ID. "You're CIA? Where's your ID? What are you doing here?"

To avoid revealing any clues, Zhou Yi had put on a realistic human skin mask again, used this newly acquired ID, and altered his voice.

This way, even if the CIA investigated later, they would find nothing, and he would have no worries!

This meant Zhou Yi could do as he pleased!

"You have no right to question this," Steve replied.

He looked at Zhou Yi's ID and found it to be genuine. He then took out his own ID, his tone softening slightly. "This is a classified matter."

However, it was clear he didn't realize the extent of the IRS agents' power.

What he also didn't know was that if one were to rank them, this so-called Level 4 agent Worsley Baba standing before him would be the most dangerous person in the entire IRS.

Bar none!

"Kid, I'm the one asking you questions right now, and I'm doing it seriously, trying my best to control my temper, in a friendly and kind inquiry."

Zhou Yi took a step forward, pressing his gun against Steve's chest, and said seriously.

"I, the IRS, am here to make an arrest. Understand?"

Zhou Yi pointed at the Hunter couple, who were listening with bewildered expressions, and continued, "If you don't want to be shot by me for obstruction of justice, tell me your mission!"

Steve started to panic.

He truly hadn't expected Zhou Yi to act like this.

So aggressive, so decisive.

Due to Zhou Yi's aggressive move, after a moment of stunned silence, agents from both the IRS and CIA turned their guns on each other, and the atmosphere immediately became tense.

"Our mission is to apprehend the Hunter couple, as reliable intelligence indicates they are likely the masterminds behind an international drug trafficking syndicate."

Steve quickly responded, seeing that the situation was escalating.

The so-called confidentiality was completely useless at this point. Compared to a potential firefight, Steve naturally chose to communicate amicably!

After all, the IRS stated their objective first, didn't they?

Steve thought, instinctively discarding the possibility of being a coward.

"So that's how it is," Zhou Yi nodded, lowering his gun, his expression softening slightly. "You should have said so earlier. Alright, you can go!"

"Okay... wait, no, go?" Steve, relieved, instinctively agreed, then realized something was off.

Why was he leaving?

Didn't he come here to arrest someone?

"What else would you want to do?" Zhou Yi said. "This person is someone the IRS wants to arrest. We've been tracking these two for a year. They're definitely not drug cartel leaders. Your intelligence is flawed!"

"And, regardless of your flawed intelligence, as a so-called CIA agent, do you think you have the authority to snatch people from the IRS, to seize these two tax evaders we've been tracking for so long?"

Zhou Yi's words left Steve somewhat bewildered.

"Tax evaders?" Steve repeated, confused.

"Yes, they are suspected of tax evasion, and the circumstances are very serious." Zhou Yi signaled for a subordinate to bring over the "evidence file" that had been prepared long ago, displaying it in front of Steve.

"Therefore, I am very sure that your intelligence is flawed," Zhou Yi stated. "You said they were drug cartel leaders. Do you have any evidence?"

"This..." Steve was stunned.

Steve was an agent ordered to make the arrest, not the leader. How could he possibly have evidence?

"Since there's no evidence, I'll be taking them away first!" Zhou Yi waved, signaling his subordinates to escort the people away.

"Also, forgive my bluntness, but your CIA intelligence agency really needs some proper training. How could you mistake two ordinary factory owners for drug kingpins? This is absurd!"

Not only did he snatch the people right in front of him, but he also mocked them.

Zhou Yi was being quite unreasonable this time.
