Chapter 289: Into Thin Air
Translator: Nyoi-Bo Studio Editor: Nyoi-Bo Studio
Zhang Chyuan Jun was the head of the National Security Bureau’s special investigation team. He had thick eyebrows, a square face, and a stern expression. After receiving the police’s emergency call, they rushed to the scene immediately. They pulled up the cordon and blocked off the entire Junting Grand Court.
Upon seeing the h.e.l.lish scene, Zhang Chyuan Jun’s face was permeated with shock. Who were the attackers? Who was the mastermind? Why would they attack Z’s richest man in the dead of night?
Many questions emerged in his thoughts. But all the attackers were killed. None of them were still breathing. Hence, he could not get his answers for the time being.
“Captain, the deceased are all foreigners. Their injuries are… strange. Some of them had their sternum crushed, some had their skull crushed, some had their palm and elbow fractured… There were no signs of injuries caused by sharp weapons or bullets… only bruises by blunt force. Their pupils are wide open, and their expressions are pathetic. Many of them sustained a fist-shaped thrust that runs through their chest. There are lots of traces of close combat on the scene. Hence… the conclusion we made was, all of these foreigners were beaten to death,” said the forensic doctor in charge of the autopsy.
“Beaten to death?” Zhang Chyuan Jun had his mouth wide open. Looking at the corpses with a fist-shaped hole tunneling through their chests, he murmured, “How big of a force does it actually require to inflict these wounds?”
“Based on my many years of experience, it requires at least a one-ton punch force to cause such damage.”
“One ton? Could humans be that strong?”
Those guards in villa no.8, what monstrosities were they?
“They might have equipped some unique exoskeletons or ingested some drugs. If not, humans can’t be punched to death that easily. Moreover, these foreigners are not normal people,” the forensic doctor hypothesized.
Zhang Chyuan Jun nodded.
“Captain! Major discovery!” An exclamation came by, “We’ve discovered a tattoo on the arm of a corpse, this should explain their ident.i.ty.”
“What tattoo?” Zhang Chyuan Jun walked over to have a look.
The tattoo said: SEAL.
The ident.i.ty of these foreign attackers was immediately unveiled.
…
On the night of that same day, the cordons at Junting Grand Court were receded. All corpses and bloodstains vanished. No waves were impelled on the internet. Everything returned to normal.
But Zhang Chyuan Jun was still somewhat against the grain. He had too many doubts in his heart that had yet been cleared, but he had to resign to retract his forces. Was he only here to clean the mess? How in the world did the richest man’s atrocious guards accomplish those feats? The SEALs being so unscrupulous, could they really have regarded the guards as mere decorations?
But in the face of such a big event, Zhang Chyuan Jun, who was a mere underling, had no authority to further intervene in this case. Subsequent matters were una.s.sociated to him. The orders he received from the higher-ups were: Protect Mr. Chen’s safety at all costs!
“I don’t like to be followed every day. I need my own privacy!” said Mr. Chen, who had yet recovered from the recent shock but refused their protection.
After consulting his superiors, what they replied to him was “try to comply.” Zhang Chyuan Jun had no choice but to retract his forces, leaving behind only a small number of elites to guard the peripheries of Junting Grand Court at a distance.
This was actually against the rules and regulations. Mr. Chen was too important to the Z nation. He resonated with the Z nations fate and destiny! But his personal feelings had to be taken care of. They had to be compliant with all his demands. In short, there must not be even the slightest mistake in protecting Mr. Chen’s personal safety!
…
On Planet Haierfa, at the Base of Operations, Chen Jin’s real self was already hiding. “Network protection has been breached. The system has been successfully intruded! The mastermind behind the ‘Punch of Justice’ operation has been determined. Sanders, Capello. Master, it was this person. He wanted to threaten your life.” Alice displayed all the mastermind’s information in front of Chen Jin.
Looking at the projection of the scrawny middle-aged man with hawk-like eyes and a wolf face, Chen Jin let out a chilling grin.
“Playing dirty eh? Let’s see between you and me, who is better in dirty work!” In Chen Jin’s heart, he already gave this man a death penalty. A Killer Robot that took lieutenant Jack’s appearance was already on a flight to the M nation. In at most three days, Capello Sanders would completely disappear from this world!
t.i.t for tat is fair play! You want my life? I’ll send you to h.e.l.l!
Chen Jin was definitely no lay pract.i.tioner of Buddhism. He wasn’t that kind of person who requited evil with good. If someone did him evil, he would usually take revenge immediately, pulling out his vile claws! He would kill until his opponent was terrified. This was the best course of action to ensure his own safety. If he swallowed it down this time, he was afraid that his enemies would become aggravated and even unscrupulous! Besides, Chen Jin was all but surprised in this. He completely saw this coming and prepared beforehand.
Perhaps because the others might still have some good feelings and fantasies for the M’s, believing that they would not resort to uncivilized actions. But Chen Jin had long seen their true colors and never once carried any fantasies. They would absolutely do evil, inhumane, bottom line tramping and dirty things without even the slightest hesitation.
In fact, a few logical reasonings would be enough. It was said that there was such a person or company, whose existence would cause the M nation’s hegemony to be a hundred percent weakened, throwing them down from the first place. He would reap off their ent.i.tlement to earn easy money and break the comfortable life they were enjoying. He would force them to accept the fact that there were people better than them. Under these circ.u.mstances, would they not resort to playing dirty? Would they calmly accept everything and let the others surpa.s.s them without even struggling?
What a daydream. They couldn’t even tolerate a single Hua Yao, striving their best to lock them down, not to mention if it came to Xing Hai Technologies. The other’s weakness was their playground. The other’s excellence was their nightmare. But likewise, they would still do dirty tricks under both circ.u.mstances. Occasionally feigning saint and putting on a humane face was just to better serve their own benefits. The law of the jungle has never changed in this world. You could have a kind heart, but you must not be naïve. Otherwise, you would be slapped in the face by cruel reality and come to realize that you were not on the same channel as the others.
Speaking of which, what should Chen Jin do? Did he need to hide on planet Haierfa and keep a low profile for a period of time? That was completely unnecessary.
…
On the 28th of June, there was a loud boom on the other side of the Pacific Ocean.
The ruthless Capello Sanders completely vanished from this world.
At the same time, Xing Hai Technologies’ important new product launch conference begun.
