Something Happened

With Xu Tui's intense focus, everything within three meters of him became incredibly clear.

Xu Tui "saw" the short-shorts uncle, his pursuer, glance at him with extreme casualness as he approached.

It was like observing a stranger on the street.

His disguise was very good.

But at that very moment, Xu Tui moved!

Splash!

The piping hot vanilla coffee milk tea he had just obtained was splashed directly onto the man's face.

The milk tea's temperature, if not ninety-five degrees Celsius, was likely at least eighty-five.

It was too sudden.

Too close.

It was splashed almost face-to-face.

No one could have imagined that a seemingly harmless, handsome young man would suddenly attack a passerby like a madman.

The instant the hot milk tea was splashed, Xu Tui followed up with a lightning-fast upward kick!

He used a forbidden move for the first time, one he had never used when arranging to meet in the grove.

Bang!

Xu Tui's kick accurately landed on the short-shorts uncle's crotch.

The force was immense.

Three years of physical training hadn't been for nothing.

The young man, over 1.8 meters tall, was already almost indistinguishable from an adult in terms of strength.

Moreover, according to official data, the C-grade Gene Composite Chain Allele Potion injected yesterday would increase the injector's physical fitness by at least ten percent, regardless of how many gene points were activated.

Xu Tui immediately "saw" the short-shorts pursuer instinctively close his eyes. Before his eyes could fully close, his entire face contorted in extreme pain.

He had been splashed in the face with scalding coffee!

A vital point attack.

Likely a critical hit.

Modern human anatomy taught that certain vital parts of the human body would not change unless the life form underwent a fundamental transformation.

Splash milk tea!

Kick the groin!

Flash jump!

These three actions were performed in one fluid, seamless motion, almost simultaneously.

It happened extremely abruptly.

The surrounding pedestrians, including the two Special Agents, didn't react.

Before they could even comprehend what had happened.

Xu Tui, who had rapidly flash-jumped behind a Special Agent standing in the milk tea line, shouted loudly.

"He's with the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization! Special Agents, why aren't you arresting him?!"

With that shout, Xu Tui directed his words at another Special Agent standing nearby, who was still chewing on fried chicken.

The Special Agent was stunned!

Xu Tui then intended to push the other Special Agent in front of him to remind him.

However, this Special Agent wasn't incompetent either.

He had already reacted by then, slightly shifting his body to evade Xu Tui's push.

But his expression remained somewhat bewildered.

The mention of the "Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization" caused the surrounding pedestrians to erupt in panic and scatter instantly.

Most of the bad news reported in the news over the years had been caused by the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization.

The reason the two Special Agents were stunned was that they couldn't understand how their identities as Special Agents had been inexplicably exposed.

And how a member of the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization had been inexplicably identified.

Furthermore, this so-called member of the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization had been just a few meters in front of them.

They hadn't sensed anything at all before.

However, there was no longer any suspense regarding what would happen next.

Today's mission had encountered an irreversible accident.

If these members of the so-called Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization weren't dealt with, the consequences would be far more serious than just getting reprimanded by a superior.

Of course, they wouldn't have to exert much effort.

The man in shorts, whom the target youth identified as a member of the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization, was currently curled up like a shrimp.

His face was covered in coffee, veins bulged on his neck, and he was in extreme pain.

The sight alone made one's teeth ache!

Just how much strength did this youth use?

As a matter of routine, the two of them had to take the man in shorts back for questioning.

If he truly was a member of the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization, then things would be complicated.

If not, then they would have to make the youth pay for medical expenses, and if there were any permanent injuries, he'd face legal action.

But the moment the two Special Agents stepped forward to apprehend the man, he, still curled up, kicked out like a phantom, producing a sharp swish sound as the air was displaced.

The Special Agent walking directly towards him blocked with his hands, but was still sent tumbling backward twice by the force of the kick before he could dissipate the momentum.

Xu Tui's eyes narrowed. Could these two Special Agents be this useless?

The next instant, as the man in shorts pushed off the ground and flipped to his feet, the other Special Agent's heavy fist landed on the man's temple, a vital point.

He collapsed heavily on the spot.

The two Special Agents, their eyes now sharp, quickly pounced, twisted the man's hands behind his back, and produced a super-fiber boron rope lock, wrapping and securing him.

With a slight press of a switch, the super-fiber boron rope lock automatically tightened and locked, binding the man in shorts into a shrimp shape once more.

"Kid, you have to come with us too," one of the Special Agents said to Xu Tui.

"Does this count as me performing a meritorious service?" Xu Tui asked instead of answering.

"If he really is one, then you've performed a meritorious service! If he isn't, you'll have to pay his medical expenses and even bear legal responsibility. Now, come with us." The Special Agent flashed his identification.

"Okay, is it alright if I inform my teacher of my whereabouts?" Xu Tui asked.

"Of course, no problem."

It was only then that the two Special Agents suddenly felt a bit flustered.

How were they supposed to report this to their direct superior?

The Bait Plan had just begun, and it had already landed in their hands. And in such a baffling way.

They could already foresee the scolding they would receive.

Although the bubble tea shop had experienced an incident, only about twenty minutes had passed.

This even included Xu Tui's waiting time in line.

The actual incident had only taken a minute or two.

The meeting in the top-floor conference room of the Jincheng Municipal Government was still in progress.

This was not like the abstract meetings of a hundred years ago, but a serious, practical one.

All the newly recruited university students in Jincheng Prefecture had to be sent to various parts of the country within three to five days, and their safety had to be guaranteed. This was a daunting task.

It required coordination between departments and the integration of resources.

The military, the Special Agent Department, and the police department all needed to coordinate, with student departure batches being a key issue.

Zhou Sheng, the director of the Special Agent Department, was discussing a route with several military officers when his personal communication device suddenly vibrated.

Zhou Sheng's personal communication device as the director of the Special Agent Department was specially configured.

That vibration frequency indicated a message sent by a subordinate through a special channel.

Usually, only messages of an urgent nature were sent through this special channel.

Feeling somewhat annoyed, Zhou Sheng still frowned and opened his personal communication settings.

After a quick glance, his mouth fell open, and his expression froze.

At the same moment, An Xiaoxue, the admissions director of Huaxia Gene Evolution University, also felt her personal communication device vibrate.

After reading the message, An Xiaoxue's delicate eyebrows curved slightly, and two shallow dimples appeared at the corners of her mouth.

She smiled.

Meanwhile, cold sweat broke out on Zhou Sheng's forehead.

However, he reluctantly interrupted Colonel Liu Tianhu, who was discussing plans with several officers and officials.

"Commander Liu, something has happened."

Liu Tianhu didn't even look up. "What is it?"

"Commander, that student..."

"Which student? Be specific."

"It's Xu Tui from the Bait Plan, the bait. Something happened to him."

Liu Tianhu's head shot up, his gaze fixing on Zhou Sheng like a tiger's stare.

"He was kidnapped?"

"What are your people good for?"

Zhou Sheng was berated until his face was pale.

"Commander, it's not like that."

"That student, Xu Tui, took the initiative. Under the guise of apprehending a member of the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization, he joined our Special Agents to capture the third unidentified stalker."

"Hmph?"

Liu Tianhu's eyes widened, spitting fire.

The information contained within was immense.

If it was true, it meant their meticulously planned Bait Plan had failed.

Not only had it failed.

It had also likely alerted the enemy.

Subsequent plans would be in jeopardy.

The only hope now was that the so-called unidentified third stalker was not a member of the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization.

If he wasn't, there was still a chance to salvage the entire plan.

"Is that so?" Liu Tianhu's tone was chillingly cold, the anger within it palpable to anyone.

"Preliminary interrogation indicates the captured individual is an unregistered Gene Liberator, and more than likely a member of the Dawn Redemption Traitor Organization."

Zhou Sheng, the director of the Special Agent Department, sighed inwardly, bracing himself to be showered with spit in front of his colleagues.

Colonel Liu Tianhu's chest heaved, his gaze shifting from Zhou Sheng's face to An Xiaoxue, who sat quietly. His full beard quivered, as if he were about to devour her!

"Commander Liu, something wrong? Do you want to check my personal communication device again?" An Xiaoxue said softly.

Liu Tianhu's stomach full of fire was choked back by that single sentence.

An Xiaoxue had received his permission to reply to Xu Tui's message at the time.

Bang!

Liu Tianhu slammed his fist heavily onto the conference table, scattering the meeting supplies.

"You all continue!"

"Special Agent Department, Police Bureau, and the Military Command Headquarters – all colonels, convene an emergency meeting!"
