Chapter 678: Shadows of Deception

Book – Chapter 678: Easy to Find (Update 1)

Suspect Sun Guan’s situation is downright miserable. Lin

How can one even begin to describe his wretched state?

Aside from still being able to breathe… try picturing a torment worse than death itself.

Anything you can imagine about suffering, you can see embodied in Sun Guan.

As always, National Security isn’t just your ordinary police force.

When someone threatens national safety or the well-being of the people,

they transform into genuine hooligans.

They employ every conceivable method,

erasing, crushing, and devouring any threat!

“These days, more and more youngsters are getting tattoos,”

Xiao Yu calmly smoked as he eyed the suspect Sun Guan lying before him like a writhing maggot. His distorted tattoo, warped by its misaligned placement, drew a mocking comment: “Just look at him. Now imagine those young folks in a few decades—turning into a bunch of tattooed old geezers.”

Wang Dong’s mind raced with possibilities.

Hmm… he couldn’t help but think of his own rebellious son.

It’s not society’s fault if a child turns out difficult; isn’t it largely on the upbringing?

Never mind, he stopped thinking—too much thought only brought headache.

Wang Dong glared at Sun Guan with a sneer, “Ready to talk now?”

To be honest, using Truth Serum on this beast was a complete waste.

A rough, no-nonsense approach was exactly the fate he deserved!

“I… will talk!”

The suspect Sun Guan managed to croak out weakly.

He had tasted torment worse than death on Earth.

All he longed for now was a quick end.

To escape this unbearable agony.

So, he confessed everything.

“Three years ago, my classmate Liu Xin found me…”

“Liu Xin was in the looks business. Among our classmates, he had the reputation of being extremely wealthy.”

“That meeting was brief—we talked about the past, reminiscing about our school days…”

“Later, we met several more times and even went to some… places that only men would understand!”

“Our relationship grew closer. A few months later, he asked me about a big business deal. He guaranteed I could earn over three million a year.”

“I knew there’s no such thing as a free lunch. Whatever Liu Xin had planned was surely not something good.”

“But I was merely an internal medicine director, earning a modest thirty-something thousand a year. With bonuses, it barely reached forty or fifty thousand. Faced with the lure of three million… I was tempted!”

“That day, he took me to a basement—no, a massive underground parking lot.”

“Before arriving, I was blindfolded, yet I immediately recognized that the area was a repurposed parking lot turned basement.”

“I saw a lot of people—some with a menacing air, some medical staff, and two individuals who were actually patients.”

“At first, I assumed Liu Xin had called me over to treat those patients, but it turned out he expected me to perform surgery on them.”

“That’s illegal. In any typical medical mishap, performing surgery under such conditions already falls under malpractice—and by proceeding, you’re crossing a legal line.”

“Yet, lured by the promise of a three million annual salary… I agreed!”

“What I never expected was that it was an organ transplant operation—and the two patients were merely organ donors!”

“They were to provide a heart and a liver… I was terrified. I refused on the spot; I just couldn’t go through with it. Because I knew this wasn’t transplant surgery at all—it was murder!”

“That same day, Liu Xin revealed his true colors. He not only threatened me but also my family. If I refused, he would kill every last one of us.”

“Right in front of me, he even killed one of the patients!”

“From that day on… I worked for Liu Xin for over two years. In that time, I lost count of how many people I helped kill, how many organs I extracted…”

“Weng Lanying was my lover, forced upon me by Liu Xin.”

“Liu Xin wanted to use Weng Lanying to gather patient data.”

“I knew exactly what he intended—to use the data to match blood types and organs. Once a client was secured, Liu Xin would capture those patients, harvest their organs, and then kill them.”

“Moreover, I wasn’t the only surgical doctor under Liu Xin’s command.”

“Heart, cornea, kidney… In our team, including me, there were seven of us working in tandem…”

“Over two years, I’d say at least seventeen or eighteen people died. I couldn’t bear to count them, nor could I fathom how they disposed of the bodies.”

“But one thing was clear to me—organ transplants purchased with human lives always come with an exorbitant price.”

“I once overheard Liu Xin say that a kidney transplant started at two million, a cornea at three million, and a heart at five million. And all the patients needing transplants were foreigners!”

“That’s all I know…”

After confessing his final words, the suspect Sun Guan finally succumbed and passed out.

“Perhaps we went a bit too far.”

Xiao Yu turned, glaring at the embarrassed faces of Wang Dong and the rest of Team Two.

But all the information we needed was now in our grasp.

Liu Xin?

This guy must be a ringleader, right?

And there are six other doctors…?

And on top of that, there’s another basement?

No wonder they couldn’t manage the disposal of the bodies.

An underground basement, no matter how big, can’t incinerate bodies.

Even using strong acids won’t completely dissolve them.

Chopping up bodies and dumping them into sewage treatment tanks is too obvious.

The only foolproof method is to transport the bodies away… abandon them.

In that very basement, they even had cement and oil drums prepared as tools…

“So, where do we start?”

A cold, ruthless gleam flashed in Wang Dong’s eyes as he fixed his stare on Little Brother.

“What, you think I have a clue? I don’t know a damn thing…” Xiao Yu rolled his eyes. “We need to hit them hard—first, locate that basement converted from an underground parking lot. By the way, we’ve already captured Sun Guan and Weng Lanying. We don’t have much time before they alert the others.”

“Understood,” Wang Dong nodded.

He knew these matters all too well.

Once the grass is cut, the snake will soon be startled.

If we don’t act fast, they’ll be long gone.

Team Two swiftly spread out across Bincheng to locate the basement.

Hard to find, huh?

It’s actually very easy.

Any organized underground parking lot will have building permits on file.

How many underground parking lots does a city have?

Excluding the ones still in operation,

it’s a piece of cake to find one!

PS: Things at home have been a mess these past few days. Little Brother begs the readers for forgiveness. Today’s update might be late, but I promise it will be finished!
