Chapter 884: Chapter 848: Fellow Villager

Monica had no sooner arrived home than she eagerly accessed the content on the chip.

The ’father’ had left her a final instruction to leave Sector Four as soon as possible.

Secretly supporting criminals,

setting up a secret biological lab,

backing up the mind consciousness of all senior leaders at Kolo Film Industry...

Any one of these was enough to be shocking, and they helped her understand the deeper secrets of the city; the thought of Qi He suddenly becoming a different person gave Monica goosebumps.

She didn’t have time to think more about it because almost the next second, she heard a slight noise at the door.

This place was a secret safehouse prepared by Gustav for the two of them. Now that only the two of them knew about the existence of the safehouse, the faint noise sounded like it was meant to avoid her notice.

Just like in the movies, this chip contained secrets she shouldn’t know, and thus someone had followed her back here.

The realization shocked Monica, and she immediately returned to her room, grabbed the gun from the nightstand, checked the magazine, and chambered a round.

She hid in the darkness, positioned right across from the door, a scenario Gustav had trained them for handling such emergencies.

Soon, someone jimmied the door open.

There were four intruders in total.

They were all dressed in black, faces masked, equipped with night vision goggles, and carrying weapons that meant they were up to no good.

Monica held her breath and patiently waited for the right opportunity.

Without hesitation, she pulled the trigger, sending a burst of bullets flying.

The unexpected gunfire shattered the night’s silence, sparking a dazzling flash in the hallway, yet the sound that followed did not suggest bullets hitting flesh but rather striking steel.

The intruders, far from panicking, became excited after locating their target and started walking toward the source of the gunfire.

"Remember, the boss wants her alive."

Monica heard the voice amidst the gunfire and noticed an unusual detail.

These men seemed to be just getting used to their "new bodies," and one of them looked down in surprise and excitement at his arm, as if trying to imprint the sensation of being bulletproof into his memory.

Four with prosthesis implantation.

Having bulletproof coating technology applied over their entire bodies meant their level of prosthesis modification was extremely advanced; engaging them without knowing their capabilities was unwise.

Monica retreated to a corner of the room, and the wall she leaned against with her left hand twisted and softened like a curtain. By the time the intruders arrived, half of her body was already embedded in the wall, and the foremost person hurried forward but ultimately failed to prevent Monica from escaping.

A curse exploded in the room.

"Shit! The report didn’t mention this bitch was a psychic!"

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

Meanwhile, just as Song Lan had closed his eyes, the vibrating sound of his phone woke him up, displaying Guan Lili’s name on the caller ID.

This better be important!

Song Lan let the ringtone play a while, reluctantly answering the call.

"Something’s happened."

As soon as the call connected, Guan Lili got straight to the point. As Song Lan’s close friend, she knew his habits; it was now past midnight, and he didn’t appreciate being disturbed at this time.

But the matter was urgent and directly related to him. She had to inform him before irreversible consequences ensued, "A friend just told me he saw bounties for your subordinates on the black market—Valerian, Zhuang Chi, and Roger are all on there, and Roger’s is up to 10 million watts."

Even in Sector Four, 10 million watts was no small sum, enough to lure numerous desperadoes.

Guan Lili was no stranger to the black market, but rarely did anyone have the boldness to post such high bounties, which led her to believe that the issuer might be an insider from the corporation.

"I suspect it’s someone from Kolo Film Industry who posted the bounties."

This was the most reasonable explanation she could come up with.

The Bureau of Uncommon Incident Investigation had never publicly disclosed the details of Singer Xi’s death, nor had they mentioned that Valerian and others were the first eyewitnesses at the scene.

"I got it."

As he ended the call, Song Lan glanced at the phone screen.

The numbers 00:32 stung his eyes.

"Damn, don’t these people ever sleep?"

He felt that the saying was true; people are doomed never to fully understand each other. It was hard for him to imagine why anyone would reject the beautiful long night, spending it instead on bits of killing and sneaking around.

"Shall I come with you?"

Lu Xiang pulled back the edge of the blanket. She had always been a night owl, and she understood the reason well.

People often say it’s the perfect time for murder and arson under the cover of dark, windy nights.

During their training exercises, more than eighty percent of their operations were completed at night, and people like Song Lan, who follow a strict routine of early to bed and early to rise, often ended up as unfortunate targets.

She explained to Song Lan, "People are most vulnerable when they are in bed."

Being naked could make one feel embarrassed and hesitant.

This theory had been confirmed by various instances, including Song Lan.
