Chapter 713: Chapter 713: I Damn Thank You

Book Chapter 713: I Damn Thank You (Update 1)

In the blink of an eye, a day had passed. Lin

One after another, several more suspects were arrested.

The first suspect: a certain property developer.

The second suspect: a certain contractor.

The third suspect: a resident of a residential community.

The fourth suspect: …

What kind of people are they arresting?

Take that property developer, for instance – he was the one behind the suburban villa development all those years ago.

The so-called ‘demon-like’ villa was specially designed by him.

The contractor had been involved in designing the basement of the villa where the incident took place, and a year ago he even secretly led a second construction in the basement.

As for the resident from the community, remember that speaker that could emit blood-curdling, wailing sounds?

After he moved into the community and played it, the suspect Wang Jianmu fell into a deranged state and went on a murderous rampage…

Including Wang Jianmu, Team Two has already arrested six suspects.

During interrogation, all these suspects admitted they were ‘Divine Followers’.

Their testimonies basically matched what Wang Jianmu had said.

They had all been forced, many years ago, to join this ‘Divine Organization’ as ‘Divine Followers’.

They didn’t know who the ‘Divine Emissary’ was, nor the location of their gatherings, or the identities of the other ‘members’…

“Damn cults are the worst,”

Inside a business room at a hotel, Wang Dong sported an expression of complete disdain. “These scumbags have been around since forever, and no matter how many times they’re banned, they always come back!”

There’s truth in that – from ancient times to now, there have been too many like them.

Maybe people of old would have been wary of them.

But today, people despise these organizations with a passion.

It’s like how people once instinctively knelt at the mere mention of an emperor’s name.

Now, though, hearing those two words would only get you a sideways, nasal-eyed look.

“Hmm?”

Wang Dong, noticing Little Brother fiddling with his phone, teased, “Cut it out – no phone games on the clock. Even if you might be my boss in the future, don’t expect me to cover for you!”

“Are you stupid…?” Xiao Yu scoffed. “Don’t bother me, I’m talking to my sister. It’s not the time.”

Wang Dong: …

“Not the time?”

When someone’s about to stab you in the back, you shouldn’t be saying it’s not a good time to talk!

This wasn’t a joke by any means.

Ever since Xiao Yu and a certain criminal openly clashed,

that guy was surely racking his brains on how to take Xiao Yu down.

And here you are, acting all casual – really?

“You’re out of line,”

Wang Dong couldn’t understand. “Aren’t you unafraid of dying?”

“I’ve done far crazier things than this,”

Xiao Yu put his phone down and shot his older brother a look. “Back in police academy, my roommate participated in a ranking contest for a gaming site. He had me chat with his girlfriend for him. I ended up chatting for half an hour with the girlfriend of my roommate’s friend – the baby of a well-behaved family – and she even sent me loads of cool photos. Later that night we even arranged to meet up in a hotel. It didn’t occur to her that I wasn’t her boyfriend!”

Wang Dong: (￣□￣)

“And then there was this one time…”

Xiao Yu shrugged. “One day, I found a remote control at a shopping mall. Out of curiosity, I pressed a button and noticed a girl squatting not far away. I figured she was looking for the remote, so she eventually returned it.”

Wang Dong: …

You young folks these days really go over the top…

Or should I say, are you that perverted?

“Don’t get the wrong idea,”

Xiao Yu rolled his eyes. “Before I met my sister, I was just a naive kid.”

He didn’t see anything shameful about it.

How is having multiple partners something to brag about?

“Ever thought about how to track this person down?” Wang Dong asked seriously.

He was convinced that the so-called ‘Divine Emissary’ was very likely the mastermind behind this case.

Moreover, this person controlled a criminal organization that had brutally killed several people in succession, extracting corpse oil.

They even employed drugs and techniques akin to hypnosis – or rather, an ‘evil art’ – for their crimes.

Knowing that is one thing, but apprehending him was another challenge entirely.

Firstly, the six ‘Divine Followers’ captured by National Security had no clue about the ‘Divine Emissary’s’ identity or status.

Secondly, those followers didn’t even know who their so-called compatriots were, let alone where their base was.

Then how do we catch him?

Yesterday, Team Two had already tracked a call made from the suspect’s phone location.

After extensive investigation, the location was finally confirmed.

It turned out the adversary had indeed set a trap.

A death trap!

It was a small warehouse filled with oil drums and gasoline all over the floor.

Someone was hiding inside, ready to ignite things at a moment’s notice.

No one would foolishly barge in.

Instead, a sniper would eliminate the target on the spot.

The person would be killed instantly, neutralizing the threat.

Assume that Xiao Yu hadn’t intervened.

Wang Dong would have taken his men straight to the location indicated by the phone’s GPS and stormed in.

What would have happened then?

Ever since meeting Xiao Yu, Wang Dong couldn’t help but feel—

It was as if he owed Xiao Yu several lives!

“So why go looking for him?”

Xiao Yu stood up and stretched. “He’ll come looking for me.”

“Hmm?” Wang Dong asked, puzzled.

“Remember those wireless surveillance cameras we found in the basement?”

Xiao Yu explained, “Those cameras were active at the time. The enemy had clearly seen what we looked like.”

“I hit his face repeatedly – most people wouldn’t stand a chance, let alone a clever lunatic like him.”

“I’ve told you before, smart people with too much pride have narrow minds and little tolerance.”

“He’ll take revenge on me. He won’t rest until I’m dead, swallowing that bitter grudge.”

“A person like him wouldn’t risk acting personally since he has a bunch of henchmen working for him.”

“Soon enough, someone will come for me,”

“drag me before him and torment me to death.”

“So…”

No sooner had Xiao Yu finished speaking than there was a knock at the guest room door.

Wang Dong frowned and called out, “Come in.”

A cleaning lady walked in and began tidying the room.

Xiao Yu and Wang Dong exchanged a glance, each seeing a trace of mockery in the other’s eyes.

Was there something wrong with the cleaning lady?

Or had she been replaced?

Neither.

This cleaning lady was indeed the one who tidied the room every day, and she seemed perfectly fine.

But what was odd was that ever since she entered the room, she hadn’t met anyone’s eyes.

Not out of neglect or contempt, but plain nervousness!

After all, you’re just a cleaning lady – we have no personal ties or mutual interests.

So why is she so jittery?

Only a cheating student gets nervous when facing an exam proctor!

Both National Security team leaders pretended not to notice anything amiss.

But secretly, Xiao Yu made a discreet gesture to his older brother.

Seeing that gesture, Wang Dong could hardly keep a straight face.

Xiao Yu: Later, act like you’re dead, you maverick!

Wang Dong: I damn thank you!
