Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 132: Vireness Seriously Injured and Unconscious, Councilman Ma Tai...

Hearing William's words, Luo An's face turned ashen, and he immediately stood up and dashed out of Office 5.

The speed of his run was so fast that even the technicians in Office 5 couldn't react in time.

They only felt that in the blink of an eye, Luo An had disappeared from their sight.

Mona, who was nearby, saw Luo An's movements clearly, but in the end, she could only blurt out a single word with a flushed face:

"Monster!"

Feeling the whooshing wind nearby, the agents outside Office 5 were all startled.

But before they could react, Luo An's figure had already reached the stairwell.

In his urgency, just like during the last villa operation, Luo An grabbed the stair's handrails, leapt up, kicked forcefully against the walls on both sides of the stairs, and darted downstairs with incredible speed.

"Jesus!"

"Oh my god!"

"Who is that? Is he flying?"

"I don't know, I didn't see his face!"

Seeing Luo An moving downstairs, the agents from other investigation groups were utterly shocked and exclaimed in unison.

Those who hadn't seen Luo An's face were even more anxious and started inquiring who this flying guy actually was.

Luo An didn't know what these agents were thinking; right now, he was only rushing to the scene to find out what exactly had happened.

Soon, Luo An arrived at the floor where Vireness was holding the press conference.

As soon as he entered the floor, Luo An, whose sense of smell was extremely sensitive, detected a strong stench of blood.

Without stopping, Luo An hurriedly ran against the flow of people towards the large conference room where the press conference was being held.

At that moment, the conference room was in chaos, filled with moans and screams; several journalists lay injured and bleeding on the floor.

Augustus and a few uninjured agents were hastily treating the wounded while urgently calling the emergency response center in the building and nearby hospitals to send people.

As Luo An burst into the room, at the forefront of the conference room, a grotesque corpse, with the upper half nearly devoid of flesh, suddenly appeared before his eyes.

Next to the lower half of the body, Vireness, covered in wounds, lay unconscious in a pool of blood.

A young female agent with a bleeding belly, looking pale, was enduring pain and attempting to stem the flow of blood from Vireness's wound.

"I'll take over!"

Seeing this, Luo An quickly ran to the female agent's side and took over her task.

The female agent, relieved, suddenly went limp, her eyes rolled back, and she fainted to the ground.

"Fu-k!"

Quickly reaching out to catch the female agent's head to prevent further injury, Luo An then turned his attention to Vireness, scanning her with a grim expression.

Vireness's shapely and attractive body now displayed large patches of flesh from her chest, abdomen, and thighs.

But these were not the fatal wounds; what really made Luo An's expression turn grim was a deep knife-like cut on Vireness's lower abdomen, continuously bleeding outward.

Seeing the rapid blood loss from the wound, Luo An scanned the area to make sure no one was paying attention to them, and that no cameras were pointing their way, then immediately took out a bottle of hemostatic agent from the system page and poured it into Vireness's mouth.

The effect of the hemostatic agent was still potent, and within a few seconds, although Vireness's wound had not healed, it had stopped bleeding.

Exhaling a heavy breath, Luo An quickly turned around to address the bleeding of the unconscious female agent.

Just then, the emergency response team rushed in with medical equipment.

"I can take over from here!"

A female agent dressed in a white coat ran up, nodded to Luo An, and immediately took over the treatment of the wounds of Vireness and the unconscious female agent.

"OK, thank you!"

Seeing this, Luo An's brows slightly relaxed, and he immediately stood up and handed over the scene to the professionals.

Soon, the ambulance arrived, and all the injured inside the conference room were taken to the nearest hospital.

——

Half an hour later, Vireness was safely wheeled out of the operating room by the nurses, and both Luo An and Augustus breathed a sigh of relief.

Luo An sat down on a chair beside the hallway and handed the water bottle to Augustus; after the latter had finished drinking, Luo An finally asked the question that had been on his mind:

"Chief, what exactly happened just now?"

"Son of a bitch!"

Upon hearing Luo An's question, Augustus's face darkened even more, and after swearing a few times, he began to recount what had happened:

The press conference was straightforward. Vireness introduced the identities of Kobert and Councilman Matai to the journalists present, then started summarizing the general details of the explosion at the Federal Prosecutor's Office.

When it was mentioned that the FBI had successfully apprehended two suspects within 24 hours of the explosion, the room instantly erupted into chaos.

When did the FBI become so efficient?

Did the FBI already know where these two suspects were hiding, and then went to arrest them immediately after the explosion occurred?

Suddenly, reporters from various New York news media raised their hands, clamoring to pose their questions to Vireness.

Vireness, accustomed to the reporters' tricky questions, was also experienced in how to answer them correctly.

A few minutes later, the Q&A session with the reporters ended, and Vireness stepped down from the podium, turning over the time to Special Agent-in-Charge Kobert.

Kobert took the stage, praised Vireness and the Unit 5 investigators briefly, then returned to his seat.

"Then, Councilman Matai took the stage."

At this point, Augustus's face twitched, and Luo An also thought of something, pulling at the corner of his mouth.

After Councilman Matai came onto the stage, he started off with some humorous remarks about himself, then praised the FBI's rapid success in solving the explosion case at the Federal Prosecutor's Office.

Immediately after, Matai linked the explosion case to his campaign slogan, preparing to deliver an impromptu off-the-cuff speech.

That's when the explosion occurred.

"I was sitting in the corner at that time, so I wasn't injured."

Augustus took a big gulp of water, his face then turning grim as he continued:

"But I saw very clearly, the explosion originated from the lectern.

Councilman Matai coughed, and the next second, a fierce burst of white light exploded in front of him, and then everyone in the room fell to the floor."

The one closest to the lectern was Councilman Matai; his body, blurry and indistinct, was found after the explosion.

Vireness, sitting diagonally behind the podium, was the second-most severely injured during the blast.

The third-most severely hurt was Special Agent-in-Charge Kobert, who was farther away from the podium, along with the reporters who were busy taking notes.

After listening to Augustus's description, Luo An looked puzzled.

Nothing happened when Vireness and Kobert were on stage, but the moment it was Matai's turn, the explosion occurred...

Thinking back to the information he had obtained from Mona earlier, Luo An raised his eyebrows slightly.

But then again, he thought, this is the Jacob Federation Building, where security checks are mandatory. How did the perpetrator manage to bring the bomb into the building?

Could it be... an inside job?

"Chief, hello."

Just then, a young white man in a suit came over and said to Augustus:

"The Special Agent-in-Charge has requested your and Agent Luo An Greenwood's presence in his hospital room right now."

"OK."

Upon the invitation of the Special Agent-in-Charge, Augustus and Luo An quickly got up and went.

Inside the hospital room, Kobert was on the phone.

Taking this opportunity, Luo An glanced over and noticed that Kobert had injuries on his left arm and left thigh, both wrapped in thick bandages.

"Alright, I understand."

Ending the call, Kobert put away his phone, then turned his gaze towards Augustus and Luo An.
