Chapter 57 Superheroes
Victoria pushed the cup in front of her in anger to show her uncooperative attitude. At the same time, she once again complained to Hao Fanlai in her heart. If he hadn't wanted to come to the local safe house by himself, she wouldn't have had to suffer these three or four days of torture.
But the middle-aged woman opposite the table was still kind. When she smiled, she had fine crow's feet at the corners of her eyes, eight teeth exposed, and she would rub her hands gently, just like the kind of housewife who would only appear in the vegetable market.
However, Victoria now knows that this is the second person in charge of the "organization" in Zhongdu, named Yan Weizi. She talked with Victoria for three days and asked Victoria to tell the scene when she met Hao Fan in detail, and then asked many questions from beginning to end - just like interrogating a prisoner.
Of course, she was almost handcuffed to the chair.
They suspected that the masked man Hao Fan was a spy from the empire and wanted to invade the organization. But Victoria scoffed at this statement. She told the woman that she had invited the other party to join the organization, but the other party refused.
Every time she heard her say this, Yun Qingyin showed a meaningful smile on her face. Victoria knew what the other party was thinking - they felt that Hao Fan was playing hard to get. But she didn't believe that Hao Fan was such a person.
"He is not that kind of person! I know!" Victoria emphasized again.
Yan Weizi nodded with "understanding" and said, "I can understand your idea. But have you ever thought about why he never killed anyone? In that situation that night, he didn't even kill the three agents to silence him."
"Because he said there were surveillance there. We were exposed in any way!" Victoria defended him.
Yan Weizi smiled, closed his palms, and sighed slightly as if he was looking at a disobedient little girl: "So, how can you explain your visit to the safe house?"
"That night he took you to the south of the city and asked you to go to the safe house. If he was really kind-hearted as you said, he wouldn't have left you there and left by himself. You should know that ten minutes after you escaped the scene, the agents of the Security Bureau began to secretly arrest the whole city. In that case, if our safe house was not in the building at your feet... how could you escape?"
Yan Weizi pressed his hand slightly and put away his smile and looked at Victoria: "Girl, because he knew that the safe house in the south of the city was there, he left with confidence. He had a lot more information about us than you thought - we didn't even know that there was such a person before."
"So we need you to think about it carefully. Is there any details that can reveal his identity. This is related to the life and death of the entire Zhongdu branch."
Victoria was silent for a while before she said with difficulty: "This...is impossible. He knew I could escape..."
But Yan Weizi didn't speak, just looked at her, as if asking with his eyes: Do you believe your own statement?
Victoria was finally defeated under her eye attack. She said hesitantly: "But even if you are right, I have already said everything I know. I... am I going to be locked up?"
Yan Weizi looked at her for a while and stood up: "You are our comrade. You are not our enemy. This is not detaining you. It is just a necessary measure to ensure safety. You know, we have given up the safe house in Shinan for you. I hope you can understand."
Victoria nodded, feeling ashamed in her heart.
After a while, Yan Weizi said again: "The review of you is over here. You can move freely - someone will arrange you. If there is anything important in your original home, we will get it for you. But you can't go back - we have to arrange you somewhere else, or change your identity."
Victoria sighed softly and said, "Okay."
Yan Weizi turned around and went out.
There was a man outside the door who was looking at the situation inside through the single-sided glass. Yan Weizi shook his head at him: "This girl is clean. She doesn't know anything."
"Well." said the man, "Then please place her well. I can ask my friends from the intelligence department to check it out. Since I know his name... I might get something."
"The Intelligence Department of the Palace Security Bureau?" Yan Weizi asked.
"Yes," said the man, "I'm trying to get in touch with that director--there's hope to pull him to us."
"This is a good thing." Yan Weizi said in surprise.
A look of pride appeared on the man's face, but he quickly controlled it.
"It's not just that," the man said, "If the man named Hao Fan is really someone in the palace as we think, and he is really a white identity. Then with him and the director of the Intelligence Department, our affairs will have a great success rate."
"But you still have to be cautious and not too anxious." Yan Weizi said, "Solve Hao Fan's problem first."
"Yes." The man looked at Victoria in the room and shook his head gently - the last time he saw his sister, she was almost this age.
"That day won't be too long," he said, "...Li Zhen. I want him to pay his blood debt."
Yan Weizi sighed and said nothing. Because she would never have thought that the boy she ran into on the road more than ten years ago would have reached this level now.
Three days later, the man got something as he wished. The source of the news was an agent from the Intelligence Department of the Palace Security Bureau. The agent took a great risk to check all the information related to the name "Hao Fan", but found nothing. Then he took the risk of expanding the scope of the investigation to the staff in the palace - even the chef.
So he found this person on a list of jobs. The person's name is "Li Haofan".
But he couldn't find anything anymore - Li Haofan was originally a cleaner and had a very innocent life experience. After receiving drug conversion six years ago, the man suddenly realized his ability, so the position of a cleaner is no longer suitable for him. He left his post and his files were sealed.
The agent realized there was a story behind this - this kind of technique was exactly what they were good at.
So he continued to work hard in the intelligence department's files, and finally found Li Haofan's information on the deep website of the Security Bureau following some inconspicuous clues. However, at his level, contacting his information would inevitably trigger an alarm, so he gave up.
The man was quite satisfied with the information, so he began to plan for the next step.
He spent nearly a month repeatedly testing the director of the intelligence department and finally confirmed that the man really joined the "organization". As for the reason?
The children of the Intelligence Department died due to the drug effect when they were forced to be transformed, leaving only the white-haired man to send the black-haired man. The drugs developed by Southern Luzon that could convert ordinary people into abilities had a 100% chance of causing the genes of ordinary people to disintegrate. But the director didn't know what evil he had committed in his previous life - two 000% of 001 actually spread to him.
He said he had hidden his hatred for six years and finally achieved his current position - he could try to ask for something from the tyrant for his children.
The man asked the director for a detailed information about Li Haofan.
Three days later, the information was sent to his hands.
The information shows that the agent found something that was correct. After awakening his ability, Li Haofan showed amazing potential and quickly reached the king level. He was then absorbed by the special operations team directly under the emperor and became one of the secret agents. People like them have great authority, but at the same time, the information is only stored in the deep network of the Empire Intelligence Network - the kind of network that cannot be accessed through normal channels.
He was sent to the Northern Empire to perform a series of tasks, and the centrality gradually changed during the process of performing those tasks - no one would feel better when he saw the tyranny of the present day, let alone a twenty-four-year-old young man - his body was filled with extremely boiling blood.
The man looked up the information about Li Haofan's tasks in detail and used the organization's intelligence network to confirm it repeatedly. The conclusion was that the things mentioned in the information were well documented in the intelligence networks of the Northern Empire and the Southern Empire, and were by no means fabricated out of thin air.
Then he spent another week pretending to contact several palace staff members. The other party admitted that there was indeed such a young man a few years ago and they all had an impression.
"I took a photo with him before," said a female staff member, and led the man to his home to see the photo. He then spent the night with the man.
At this point, the branches in the "organization" believed that they had confirmed Li Haofan's identity. This identity can also explain why he never killed people - because those people can still be considered his colleagues.
Next they plan to contact Li Haofan.
Li Haofan is a king. His whereabouts are definitely not something that ordinary people can track them. So the man decided to take action himself.
On the third night, he finally discovered the other party's whereabouts. But Li Haofan was very alert and immediately moved elsewhere. However, the advantage of a man was that he could also move "instantly" - through his high-speed advantage.
The two of them played the chase game in the night of Zhongdu, which lasted for nearly two hours. During this period, both of them cautiously did not disturb the possible law enforcement officers and secret agents.
During this process, they had passed by the area near the palace three times, but Li Haofan did not ask for help from the security agents there, nor did he try to throw the man into the defense network there. This made the tracker more confident in his judgment - this person has a strong sense of justice and wants to be a superhero in the night. The superhero's code is not to kill people - otherwise it would be a dark hero. (To be continued...)
