Chapter 500: Chapter 500: The Method Actor_1

"Let me tell you, my acting skills are absolutely incredible!"

Shortly after, Lu Xiang’s apartment acquired an unwelcome guest. The intruder, who let herself in through a window, prattled on to the two about her outstanding acting abilities in the living room. "Old Lu, let me tell you, the ’S’ running technique that Old Song introduced really works. I have no idea how you thought of it; a distance that could have been easily closed with a burst of speed turned into a whole chase!"

Watching Hanna’s animated gestures, Lu Xiang truly wanted to thump her on the back of the head with a club.

Who’s calling me "Old Lu"?

This employee from the Anomaly Investigation Bureau was not only devoid of self-reflection after losing track of the target but was as happy as a child.

"This is a conclusion I drew from observing the lives of street thugs."

Song Lan, as the founder of the "S" chase technique, gave his remark.

In fact, this skill was something he had created on his own a few months earlier, to avoid being shaken off by Chai Ke’s men. He believed that the hoodlums from District Seventeen held considerable referential value.

"Looks like I should pay more attention to the lives of these little thugs in the future."

Hanna nodded thoughtfully, "Anyway, I just followed this technique and trailed behind Angle the entire time, until he was rescued by someone."

Actually, when the chase occurred, she hadn’t anticipated someone would come to Angle’s rescue.

She didn’t know where the Bureau got the tipoff that claimed the target would definitely appear at the prosthetic hospital tonight.

Hanna was anxious, fearing that she wouldn’t adjust to her new prosthetic and would accidentally blow her cover, inadvertently catching Angle.

"That female journalist really helped out a lot; otherwise, I’d have to think of a way to let him slip away legitimately."

"What were you planning to do?"

"Suddenly fall ill during the pursuit, clutching my stomach and collapsing to the ground," Hanna enthusiastically answered Teacher Song Lan’s question. "I’ve been doing some research recently, and it’s said that when a newly transplanted prosthetic has a rejection reaction with the body, it can cause symptoms like chest tightness and abdominal pain."

"That’s one way to do it, but it’s likely to arouse suspicion."

Lu Xiang interrupted the teacher-student Q & A, "You just mentioned that Angle was rescued by a female journalist?"

She felt that things were becoming increasingly chaotic.

How did the female journalist become Angle’s companion?

Posters of Angle’s arrest warrant were plastered all over the streets and alleys, and there were mandatory pop-up alerts online. Several days had passed since her rescue, so she should be well aware of Angle’s current predicament.

"Yes, I recognize her. The Bureau has also been searching for her whereabouts these past few days."

Hanna said noncommittally, "From a psychological perspective, her behavior is quite understandable. She was detained by Dream Manufacture for so long, and the person who eventually rescued her is one of the Bureau’s most-wanted fugitives. In her mind, she must be lumping us together with the company now. I just didn’t expect her to be so brave, daring to snatch someone right from under the Bureau’s nose."

"But this way, she should be found by the Bureau pretty soon."

Lu Xiang said, "As long as the surveillance video is checked, they can find out the type of car she used and then directly trace its route."

"Luckily, Angle is by her side. He understands the Bureau’s tactics and surely wouldn’t make such an elementary mistake. For all we know, they might already be destroying the car as we speak."

Hanna tempered her smile a bit. She had come this time not just to boast about her superb acting skills but also to remind Lu Xiang, "The higher-ups have issued a firm order to capture Angle and the journalist at all costs in District Seventeen. I have a feeling that the issues tied to Dream Manufacture are too complex, and delving deeper may not yield good outcomes."

If things continue this way, Lu Xiang would be inevitably embroiled in it sooner or later.

As a friend, she wanted to promote the spirit of being carefree and tried to persuade Lu Xiang to stay away from these troubles, "This matter could possibly be directly related to a certain councilor from the Review Meeting, as well as the United Government’s recent strategies towards the ’outside world.’ Don’t forget that there’s a Six Stars rescuer on standby here now."

Long before the core zone, Hanna had heard of the great deeds of the Mountain.

Despite the muscle-bound uncle with a simple mind having a good reputation in the core zone, his identity was that of a top-ranking official of the United Government, and when faced with a deadly command from the Review Meeting, he only had the option to comply.

"The problem that started in District Seventeen was just a gray industry of the Foster Family; the Innovator Faction could easily stab them in the back, but if it’s linked to the United Government’s external strategies, the Innovator Faction won’t be able to help you."

Hanna sincerely hoped that Lu Xiang would understand the gravity of the situation.

The industrial chain behind Dream Manufacture also involved many military industrial enterprises within the Innovator Faction: now it was not just one person but all interest groups that hoped this matter would end here.

"I understand."

Lu Xiang nodded.

Hanna could only sigh at Lu Xiang’s reaction.

This didn’t seem like the reaction of someone who was willing to take advice from others; it had been like this since their school days. Once Lu Xiang became stubborn, not even nine bulls could pull her back.

But with her current situation, she couldn’t help Lu Xiang much either.

Familiar with one another, Hanna didn’t want to push too hard and make the conversation too heavy, so she strolled around the living room, changing the subject, and asked the question she had been wanting to ask from the beginning, "What are these?"

When she climbed through the window, Lu Xiang was sitting at the living room coffee table carefully reading through a thick stack of documents; Hanna had thought they were case files from the Law Enforcers until she got closer and saw that they were lists from various insurance companies.

A startling thought crossed her mind.

Could it be...

Lu Xiang knew the investigation was more likely to go badly than well and had already started to sort out her affairs in advance?

"Personal claim documents printed from the official website of the insurance company."

Having spent a lot of time with Song Lan, the two had reached a new level of understanding. After listening to the entire conversation Song Lan had with the Assassin, she immediately printed these forms and filled out Song Lan’s name on every single one.

The beneficiary was, of course, herself.

According to her calculation, should anything happen to Song Lan, she would receive a massive insurance payout of tens of millions of volts.

"Old Lu, even if you know the risk, you can’t... Huh?"

After studying a form for a moment, Hanna realized that the information filled in was vastly different from what she had assumed, "Why is Old Song’s name written here?"

If Lu Xiang was concerned about encountering an accident during the investigation, shouldn’t the information be filled out the other way around?

"Because..."

Lu Xiang glanced at Song Lan and cleared her throat, "Because I’m planning to become a bad woman starting from today."

???

Hanna, who was confused about the current situation, drifted her gaze back and forth between Lu Xiang and Song Lan.

After a long while, she tentatively asked, "Is this some new kind of couples’ game?"
