A dark and windy night, perfect for murder, as the joint operation is underway.
Inside the industrial park funded by the Chen Family, teams of armed personnel were rapidly mobilized, working hard for their employers, moving seemingly disorganized, scattered, yet absolutely confidential documents and equipment.
These days, despite being Hybrid armed personnel, they had been working like laborers, constantly busy with this heavy physical work for a long time, simply because ordinary hired workers with insufficient security clearance were not qualified to handle this sensitive information.
"Zone 3 cleared, Zone 3 cleared!"
"Team A needs 5 more people. Be gentle when moving this imported equipment, don't accidentally bump and damage it!"
"Hey, you guys over there! I told you to take a break, not to just sit there! Everything needs to be moved out by tomorrow at the latest. Can you handle the responsibility if we don't meet the deadline?!"
A cold, damp air permeated the underground levels of this medical facility, a place where a midnight haunting would feel perfectly natural. Yet, the Chen Family members were directing everyone to climb up and down, moving things back and forth, somehow creating a bustling, lively atmosphere.
The strong and capable Hybrid subordinates didn't dare ask what they were always busy with late at night. Anyway, they just worked for the overtime pay they received. They did what was expected of them in their position. There were people above them worrying about things; they shouldn't ask too many questions about what wasn't their business.
"Hey, you guys move this up! Hurry up, come back after you're done. You're the slowest ones in this whole group!"
The Chen Family member, speaking in a stern tone, singled out and directed several people in armed team uniforms to continue working. In truth, he didn't care who these people were; the Chen Family had plenty of armed personnel. But for him, the task assigned by the family head had to be completed without fail.
"Oh, Third Brother, how much more do you have left here?"
Another Chen Family member walked out from the corner of the road. The two had similar facial features, clearly both sons of Father Chen.
"Ah, it's Fourth Brother... Don't even mention it, still busy. The schedule is too tight. This will probably keep us busy all night, working until dawn... The area Fourth Brother is in charge of is much easier and less tiring—"
"Hahaha, not at all. That just means Father thinks I still have some way to go... Third Brother is more capable and steady, so he's more highly regarded!"
The conversation between the Chen Family's Third and Fourth Brothers sounded like casual family chat, but the two brothers were not actually close. They were merely testing each other as they did every day.
The Chen Family had dozens of brothers and sisters. Apart from Nono, the others basically spoke in this seemingly harmonious family tone. This was how it was on the surface, but behind the scenes, there was constant scheming and infighting. After all, no matter how vast the Chen Family's fortune was, Father Chen would eventually hand it over to his children—
But, with a total of dozens of competitors, it was still too many.
For this reason, they all tried every possible method to make the others lose Father Chen's favor as much as possible.
"Ah, I don't even stand a chance... If you want to talk about who Father values the most, it has to be our sister, Motong!"
Hearing Third Brother's words, Fourth Brother's eyes also flickered. He scanned the surroundings and lowered his voice: "I heard... Motong is going to marry into the Gattuso Family?"
"Anyone with eyes can see that, right? That bunch of foreigners were flirting with Father a while ago."
"No, no, I mean, our sister Motong seems to have passed the interview. Even the older generation of the Gattuso Family is very satisfied with her!"
The Chen Family's Fourth Brother's tone was sour. He felt that this talented sister was like a princess wherever she went, held warmly by the elders as if she were a precious gem naturally unearthed.
"...You should say less! Anyway, her destination is set. By then, she will no longer have ties with the family and will leave Father Chen's sight. That should be considered a good thing, to some extent!"
The Chen Family's Third Brother waved his hand, indicating he didn't want to talk about this topic anymore. He looked up, searching for the armed personnel he had just called to move things. They still hadn't returned.
"Why are those guys so slow? The family pays such high wages, and the result is a bunch of freeloaders?" He casually pointed at two more people, "You two, go upstairs and hurry up those lazy bums!"
So the two turned and left, their figures disappearing into the stairwell. But just like before, they didn't return for a long time.
"Hmm?" The Chen Family's Third Brother had been busy for a while and noticed that the people he had sent upstairs hadn't returned. Immediately, suspicion arose.
"These guys are dawdling for so long, did they fall into the toilet?"
"Third Brother! If you ask me, in a family as big as ours, there are always a few lazy and negative elements. I think, since they dare not come back, they probably have some bad intentions..."
"Fourth Brother, you go and do your work. I'll keep an eye on things here!"
Third Brother didn't want his younger brother to overstep his authority and interfere with his area. He quickly stopped a team of armed personnel from working, then sealed off the entrance to the ground floor. Next, he began to access the surveillance footage of the ground floor—
Just then, there was a sound from the stairwell. The armed personnel vigilantly raised their dark muzzles, only lowering them when they saw familiar faces.
The Chen Family's Third Brother walked forward, his face angry, frowning tightly as he scolded, "Who told you to dawdle for so long! Don't tell me every single one of you fell into the toilet!"
A big face opposite showed an embarrassed smile and slowly approached, "Sorry, took a while for a big one. It's dark and spooky late at night, and the brothers didn't dare walk alone in this eerie place..."
The Chen Family's Third Brother remained insistent, "Stop spouting nonsense. You've been on duty here for how many years and you're still afraid of walking at night? Also, entering the underground confidential floor requires a password. Where's your password? Let's verify the password! Don't complain, it's regulations. You have to give the password no matter how many times you go through!"
"Ah!"
The big-faced man leading them suddenly fell silent, just sighing irrelevantly.
With a speed that the Chen Family member couldn't react to, he pulled out a Remington 870. While the person opposite went from surprised and confused to preparing to angrily draw their own gun, he quickly operated the manual pump, getting ahead of them. He raised the muzzle and pulled the trigger.
The high-powered shotgun fired at close range hit the Chen Family member and several surrounding armed personnel with a loud bang. Caught off guard by the sneak attack, they fell backward, their contorted expressions almost frozen on their faces.
This scene of "the lower defeating the higher" stunned everyone.
The Chen Family's Fourth Brother stared blankly at the body of his Third Brother, whom he considered a rival, lying on the ground. After two seconds, he reacted and roared at everyone, "Enemy attack—!"
The scene instantly erupted. The armed personnel who had been honestly working as laborers just a second ago pulled out their weapons and turned into heavily armed firepower outputters in the next.
At the same time, the figure and appearance of the big-faced "rebel soldier" twisted, his disguise disappearing as if it were an illusion. Following closely behind, his team members also changed their appearance. They were none other than Old Tang and the other action members of the Zhou Family.
Glancing at the bodies lying on the ground, Old Tang sighed softly, "Password and stuff... Who understands that, you know?"
