Chapter 344: Is Waiting by the Tree for a Rabbit Really Working?

I knew you’d jump out at a time like this… Xiao Yu seethed inwardly.

Daily Check-In!

[Ding: Congratulations, host, your check-in mission was successful!]

[System Reward: Ability – Commanding Expert!]

[System Task Assigned: Solve the Extreme Agent Case!]

[Time Limit: 30 Days to Solve the Case!]

[Complete the task within the time limit to receive an extra system skill: Possum’s Solution!]

[Fail the mission within the time limit and the system ability will be revoked!]

[Mission Countdown Begins…]

Xiao Yu completely ignored the so-called ‘Commanding Expert’ and ‘Possum’s Solution’ system abilities.

30 days… the deadline!

Xiao Yu drew in a sharp breath.

Thinking of the mission’s title… Extreme Agent?

What a catchy title. Is the system switching careers to film making?

Clearly, the system that named this task is either juvenile or a total nutcase.

“What are you thinking about?”

Zhou Lie patted his little bro on the shoulder.

“Nothing,” Xiao Yu replied, shaking his head as he snapped back to reality.

Only then did he check out the ability the system had granted him during his daze.

Commanding Expert?

Its purpose is to coordinate others—aligning their will and actions.987

To efficiently harness and maximize team capabilities, strength, combat power, and the like.

To flawlessly complete operations, engage in combat… or any other task.

A useless ability for Xiao Yu!

He was always too laid-back.

Self-aware and unfit for leadership, he never liked sitting in command.

Instead, he preferred getting into the thick of cases and chasing down criminals.

After all, why be a cop if not to eventually take over your sister’s company?

Mu Qingwu once joked, “Does my little brother love power? I’ll hand over the company for you to play with.”

She said it like it was a joke.

But if Xiao Yu quit being a cop, Mu Qingwu wouldn’t hesitate to give him the company.

The money earned would last for generations.

Even if he wrecked the company, Mu Qingwu wouldn’t bat an eye.

With her intelligence, funds, and connections, a comeback was a matter of minutes…

Running a company with thousands of employees—imagine the power at hand!

What can a small-time leader really manage?

There’s no comparison.

And don’t even start about how institutional power is worlds apart from business clout.

(ajfg) Considering Mu Qingwu’s current clout.

No leader below the provincial level would even qualify to speak with her.

What a pity…

That notion of a man not being able to do without power for a day is complete bullshit to Xiao Yu.

Isn’t being the father of a top CEO sister a far sweeter deal?

Shaking off his wandering thoughts, Xiao Yu looked again at the personal data on the military tablet.

Suspect Wu Hanran, after retirement, had become a respectable husband and father.

He even turned into a stay-at-home dad.

His wife, Lü Jiao, 47, is a teacher.

His daughter, Wu Yaxin, 24, became a translator after college.

And she even has a boyfriend of three years.

The real issue in this case centers on Wu Yaxin’s boyfriend.

According to investigations by National Security,

Wu Yaxin’s boyfriend, Qi Huan, 26, is suspected of being a foreign spy.

His motive for getting close to Wu Yaxin likely stems from her father’s role as a National Security special agent.

It’s also very possible that Qi Huan used some method to threaten Wu Hanran a year ago.

Taking advantage of Wu Hanran’s position, he unlawfully photographed the hideout’s blueprints.

They also discovered that Wu Hanran’s daughter went missing a month after his retirement.

Yet neither Wu Hanran nor his wife reported it.

That detail alone is extremely concerning.

It’s highly likely that Wu Yaxin’s disappearance was orchestrated by the suspected foreign spy, Qi Huan.

This also explains why Wu Hanran was recently spotted near the hideout area.

“Who discovered it?”

Xiao Yu looked up at the two team leaders. “With his old special agent skills, it’s nearly impossible for an average person to track him down, right?”

“What a coincidence,”

Shen Mei explained, pointing out, “The pig farm owner noticed that his workers hadn’t been in touch for days. When calls wouldn’t go through, he came with his staff to check the farm. They found two workers missing and discovered that the feeding area had been dug open, prompting an immediate police report.”

Later, after the police reported in, National Security arrived and found two worker corpses at the hideout. Nothing was taken, only signs that the place had been searched thoroughly.

Autopsy confirmed that the two worker corpses were… killed by Wu Hanran!

“Killed by Wu Hanran?” Xiao Yu squinted. “How was that determined?”

“Military Murder Technique—also known as Military Killing Fist.”

Zhou Lie said in a low voice, “It’s the close combat technique of National Security Special Ops!”

What is Military Killing Fist?

It’s a fusion of military martial arts and assassination fist techniques.

Evolving from various combat styles—grappling, freestyle fighting, and even hard qigong techniques.

Extracting the essentials through physical principles and evolution,

then combining with human physiology and force dynamics,

it evolved into a fighting style perfectly suited for close-quarters combat.

You could even call it a killer technique.

What’s the point of all these combat techniques?

Bottom line, it’s all about killing!

As a Combat Expert, Xiao Yu knew all too well the might of Military Killing Fist.

Its lethality is evident even on the corpses.

“What about the pig farm’s surveillance?” Xiao Yu’s pupils narrowed.

“It was tampered with, and the memory card was taken,” Shen Mei replied.

Got it… Xiao Yu exhaled deeply.

He was only brought in because Team Five and Group Nine couldn’t find anyone else.

Apparently, when he was awarded in the capital last time, both teams had been hunting for Wu Hanran.

Back then, Wang Dong had mentioned that Team Five needed his help.

If special agents can capture him, then surely he can, right?

That wasn’t exactly what he meant.

Maybe National Security agents have immense ability, power, and resources beyond normal imagination,

but when it comes to capturing criminals and investigating cases, that’s the police’s domain.

In that realm, even special agents are like children compared to the police.

Which team leader wasn’t aware of Xiao Yu’s skills?

If not him, then who?

After a quick blink, Xiao Yu’s gaze returned to the interior of the hideout.

His eyes swept over every item inside.

“None of the valuable items were taken—was it not for money? Some files weren’t touched either. Didn’t they aim to destroy evidence?”

Xiao Yu murmured, “Then what was he after? And those items must still be in the hideout, right?”

At that thought, his eyes lit up. Turning to Shen Mei beside him, he said, “Sister Shen, bring the other two blueprints!”

In that case.

First, locate both hideouts.

Will waiting by the tree for a rabbit really work?
