On the bustling main street, an unremarkable gray sedan was parked by the roadside.
The windows had been specially treated, making it impossible to see inside from the outside.
Fang Cheng sat in the driver's seat, reading a file in his hands.
It contained the results of Asaka Akie's recent investigation. She had looked into nearly every detail of Gongyuan Hang's life, from elementary school through college and the start of his career.
He really had been adopted from an orphanage by his parents as a child. The process had been just like Fang Cheng's, only he himself still didn't know about it.
There was also information on Banjyo Taisei, the bull-headed chief who had been killed in a counterattack by the Pure Love Warrior. He was just an ordinary wealthy businessman with no political clout. His rise to fortune had been thoroughly investigated, and the report even noted his unsavory habit of seducing respectable women.
Last month, Banjyo Taisei really had gone to the hospital for a checkup. Sato Mai had used her computer skills to hack into the hospital system and found his test results: HIV-positive.
She had also found out about Gongyuan Hang's girlfriend. After learning she had contracted AIDS, the woman had run off in the middle of the night.
She was probably afraid Banjyo Taisei would retaliate.
It had to be said that Asaka Akie's ability to gather intelligence and conduct investigations had now clearly surpassed Fang Cheng's.
Fang Cheng had only learned the basics, while Akie had kept studying in depth. Whenever she had free time, she devoured the professional books Takeda Masumi recommended to her.
She was very talented in this area, too. She could easily apply for a job as a professional intelligence operative now.
