I’m Really Scared
Chapter 201: Talent

Logically speaking, Guan Shan’s claim was probably false.

But his assertive demeanor and the calm confidence in his voice made his outrageous statement somewhat believable.

While maintaining their armed stance, the lead officer, Jiang Feng, suspiciously dialed his superior’s number. "Chief..."

Before he could finish, the other side quickly interrupted, "Immediately return. The Boxiang Town incident has been taken over by a special commissioner; we have no authority to interfere."

Jiang Feng was stunned, "Special Security Group?"

"It seems you've already encountered them... Remember, comply with their requests as much as possible. If you haven't seen anything, immediately withdraw and help seal the area. If you have seen something, act as if you haven't."

"Jiang Feng, I've always known you to be steady. Don't ask questions, and don't be curious. This is an order! Ensure there's no conflict with them, understood?"

The tone was extremely serious, with hints of fear and reverence.

Jiang Feng's expression turned grave, and he responded firmly, "Understood!"

Landlord Zhang Luliang was in disbelief as Jiang Feng ordered everyone to lower their weapons and conversed calmly with Guan Shan, then began evacuating the scene.

To Zhang, Guan Shan's claims were utterly implausible! His initial interaction with Guan Shan was due to the latter claiming to need a warehouse for his art business.

Could the police conduct art businesses?! Even an ordinary person knew that was illegal!

If Guan Shan were on some secret mission, causing such a commotion, it would indicate they were in the final stages of wrapping up. It wasn't covert, so why was the police unaware? Arriving only to find a misunderstanding...

Zhang felt there was something fishy, possibly even a massive conspiracy! Previously, that strangely dressed woman seemed to be seeking revenge, and now she had vanished. Could she have turned over a new leaf?

She must be dead!

Zhang felt a cold chill.

Now that Guan Shan and the police had reached an understanding, he was the only outsider and witness, meaning he might be silenced. The thought made Zhang's legs go weak, and he collapsed to the ground, staring blankly at the warehouse, overwhelmed by despair.

Jiang Feng asked Guan Shan, "Is there anything else you need? Cleaning the scene, for example. I'll cooperate as much as possible."

He glanced at the warehouse interior, trying to catch a glimpse.

The warehouse was pitch dark, and barely anything was visible, but the floor seemed reflective with liquid, and there was a distinct scent of blood in the air.

With his years of experience, Jiang Feng estimated the amount of blood loss indicated at least three fatal wounds.

But Zhang reported that only one woman had come...

Jiang Feng could imagine the horrific scene if there was indeed only one death.

Despite having no visible bloodstains, Guan Shan’s eyes and demeanor had a menacing aura that reminded Jiang Feng of the most heinous criminals, if not more terrifying.

Recalling his superior's tone, Jiang Feng pondered what kind of organization the "Special Security Group" was.

His offer to clean the scene was also a subtle attempt to probe the truth.

"No, our Special Security Group will handle everything. But please leave the landlord here."

Guan Shan shook his head, relieved.

He had gambled on the Special Security Group contacting the police, not wanting a direct confrontation.

Though with his current strength, Guan Shan could confidently handle regular armed police.

Jiang Feng frowned, "He's just an ordinary person..."

Guan Shan replied, "Precisely because he's an ordinary person, he needs protection. If he's left alone, and there's retaliation, it won't just be his life at risk."

Zhang trembled, pleading, "I-I didn't see anything! Spare me!"

Jiang Feng discreetly moved closer to Zhang.

Guan Shan sighed, "Fine, I'll leave it to the logistics team."

He looked at the snow-filled night sky, "They should be here soon."

Jiang Feng was puzzled. Who?

He soon found out.

"Whirr—"

Three Special Security Group helicopters descended, landing on the nearby flat terrain.

Luckily, being on the outskirts, there was ample space.

The logistics team arrived first, greeting Guan Shan before systematically cleaning the scene and measuring energy levels.

Jiang Feng, dumbfounded, spotted his former squad leader among them!

The leader, once thought to have joined a secret unit, was now "logistics" for the Special Security Group!

The squad leader recognized Jiang Feng, smiling before resuming his task of cleaning blood.

The warehouse lights were turned on, revealing a gruesome scene but no bodies or flesh, only eerie blood trails.

Jiang Feng's worldview was shaken.

Why would such an outstanding and proud leader accept a logistics role?

Guan Shan, meanwhile, was surrounded by the familiar faces of Youhao Team's first squad.

They silently observed Guan Shan as if he were an anomaly.

Even Gao Ye, with her typically aloof demeanor.

Chen Pengyun and Tang Zhi, usually talkative, made Guan Shan uneasy with their quiet scrutiny. What were they plotting?

"Say something."

Guan Shan couldn't help but ask, "Why are you just staring at me?"

Chen Pengyun, unable to hold back, gave a thumbs-up, "Impressive, Brother Guan! You really killed 'Drone Bee One'? That’s an A-rank!"

Why are you calling me Brother Guan too? Guan Shan shrugged, "Not exactly killed..."

"Drone Bee One" was definitely still alive, having escaped in a mechanical puppet, whereabouts unknown.

Chen Pengyun continued excitedly, "In less than two months, you've taken out at least seven or eight C-ranks, all high-level. Add surviving against a B-rank and killing an A-rank; you'd be a Captain in any squad with those achievements."

He eyed Guan Shan curiously, "Your strength must be near B-rank now!"

Guan Shan glanced at his level 20 status, "Almost, maybe soon."

Chen Pengyun praised, then added, "But our Captain isn't bad either. She broke through to B-rank after the Death Hive operation!"

His vivid description made Guan Shan look at Gao Ye in surprise.

She turned away, coldly huffing, "It's nothing special."

But she was clearly pleased.

Guan Shan realized why Xia Lei chose her as Captain. Without the simulator’s help, she had quickly advanced.

An unparalleled talent!

Tang Zhi whispered mischievously, "I heard Wuhao Team’s Qi Xingyu tried to seduce you. Her charm ability is famous. How was it?"

Guan Shan: "..."
