Enforcer Manual
Chapter 850 - 832: Challenge the Boss!

All the prior investigation had been conducted by Qi He, and for many years, they had unswervingly trusted Qi He, never considering another possibility—that Qi He might have lied.

To cope with his political enemies and company structure, he needed a few trustworthy people, and Monica was a child he favored. In the organization, there were many children like her.

True or false, Monica’s father offered a "complete" story.

However, before Gustav could explain everything to Monica, an unexpected phone call disrupted all his plans.

Qi He, who had disappeared for the whole night, called him. His voice on the phone was harsh and indifferent, announcing that the plan in District Four had failed, ordering him to abandon Monica and immediately return to the organization, and when questioned further, he refused to provide any substantial explanation.

The sudden change in Qi He forced Gustav to consider another possibility.

Monica’s father died in a car bomb attack.

The Law Enforcers found human tissue at the scene, and after checking all the clues, he confirmed the veracity of the report.

Yet all of this information came solely from Qi He’s account; they had no way to prove its authenticity, and before the appearance of Monica’s "father," they had believed it without doubt.

Monica did not easily believe the man. Everyone knew that changing one’s appearance in 2167 was not a difficult task. After meeting him, she asked him about details only she and her father possessed, many of which even the organization and Gustav did not know.

Yet, the man responded perfectly to everything.

"Monica says she wants some quiet time."

Walking on the bustling streets, Gustav looked up at the parade floats passing over their heads. After all these major incidents, life in District Four hadn’t come to a halt—it was celebrating a festival, with participants immersed in a jubilant and lively atmosphere, yet he felt somewhat out of place with the whole world.

He must carefully consider Qi He’s orders.

Logically, he should follow the other’s instructions and immediately leave District Four, a place fraught with disputes.

The assassination had failed, and the founder of Kolo Film Industry was still alive.

Along with the recently killed national-level rescuer "Black Sand," it was very likely that the United Government would send a Six Stars rescuer.

Gustav guessed this was the reason Qi He wanted him to retreat; facing a Six Stars rescuer alone was not a good idea, and not everyone is as easy to talk to as Song Lan.

In the end, he had to turn to those around him for help, "Old Song, what do you suggest?"

Looking at Gustav, who seemed middle-aged and distressed under various pressures, Song Lan suddenly felt a strange sensation.

Did he, a vibrant young man barely over twenty, look like someone experienced in nurturing children?

But since the other party had earnestly asked, Song Lan, sticking to principles of politeness, shared his thoughts, "You should discreetly follow her for now; Monica is in a confused state of mind, and the book says this is exactly when criminals seize their opportunity."

"Book? What book?"

"’Crime Psychology’."

Besides "A Love Tip Every Day," Lu Xiang’s bookshelf was filled with such books. She was a diligent learner who bought many physical books to expand her shelf and used her free time after work to read and enhance her professional knowledge.

As for Song Lan...

He would pick up a book and flip through a few pages whenever he pretended to be diligent in learning.

Of course, all this was back when he had just moved into Lu Xiang’s apartment.

Back then, as a new house manager, he was somewhat reserved in every aspect and couldn’t comfortably sit on the sofa and watch a movie as if no one else was around.

"I got it, thanks, Old Song."

Gustav nodded and hurried in the direction Monica had gone.

Song Lan then found a chair in the square and sat down, enjoying a moment to think as he watched the crowd following the parade nearby.

Qi He woke up?

And immediately after waking, he called Gustav and told him to evacuate District Four?

He felt that there was something peculiar about this, so he sent a message to Dr. Bai Zhu. A few minutes later, a small cleaning robot from the Eden Hotel climbed onto their apartment window and brought him the latest news about Qi He.

Qi He was still in a coma, lying motionless on the couch.

So the person who had just called was probably not the Qi He still in their room.

When he and Lu Xiang had left the room one after another, they noticed something unusual about Qi He; the Bug Swarm version of "hand sanitizer" had mended the wounds on Qi He’s body in minutes, yet he showed no signs of waking up. Lu Xiang suspected that his coma was likely caused by other reasons.

..................

Meanwhile, the hover car carrying Lu Xiang slowly descended into a secluded alley.

This road led neither to the Abnormal Case Investigation Bureau nor back to the Eden Hotel. If not for the new team leader guiding her, Lu Xiang could hardly imagine such a quiet place existing in District Four; the street was completely deserted.
