Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 500 - 315: Fried Chicken Shop Owner

In the living room, Fat Bo had already handed over the ransom money, and Qi Yun instructed Niu Da to take his phone and throw him out onto the winding mountain road.

Scarface’s villa was halfway up the mountain in the suburbs. At such a late hour, it would probably be dawn by the time Fat Bo walked out.

"Mr. Qi, what do you plan to do next? If there’s anything you need me for, just give the order," Scarface said graciously.

Qi Yun raised his watch to check the time, realizing it was getting late and not wanting to keep Scarface with him, he said, "Scarface, you can go rest first. Just prepare a car for me."

Scarface did not insist, as he was getting older and found it a bit overwhelming: "Alright, I’ll have A Rong here ready for your command."

"Much appreciated," Qi Yun nodded in gratitude.

Scarface stood up with the help of the sofa arm, rubbed his red eyes, and instructed the nearby henchman: "Whatever Mr. Qi asks you to do, just do it without mistakes."

...

Meanwhile, inside an internet café in Taibei.

A plain-looking man quickly approached the door of the café’s lounge, cautiously looked around, and then pushed the door open.

Once inside the lounge, the man locked the door, walked straight to the corner of the wall, and pressed hard on the wall.

In the next moment, the seemingly ordinary wall slid slowly to the side, revealing a secret door just big enough for one person.

The man bent down and squeezed through, the door automatically closing behind him, instantly illuminating the space before his eyes.

Inside the small room, less than ten square meters, was filled with equipment flashing red and green indicator lights; two youths in hoodies were typing on keyboards, the surveillance screens constantly switching views.

"New task! Check where someone with the nickname ’Bai Xiaosheng’ is right now," the man ordered.

"Yes! ’Lu Team’!" the two youths replied.

No doubt, the man known as ’Lu Team’ was none other than the head of the secret QB Bureau stationed in Taiwan’s first group — Lu Xingye!

Including himself, there were eight people in their group, three technicians, and the rest were field personnel — their exact duties unknown due to the high level of confidentiality.

Minutes later, a red dossier popped up on the computer screen, filled edge-to-edge with densely packed text and photographs.

"Lu Team, found him!" the youth on the left reported, pointing at the screen, "Bai Xiaosheng’s real name is Lin Kun, 52 years old, originally from Hong Kong Island. Ten years ago, he was wanted by the Hong Kong Island police for collaborating with a transnational criminal organization to illegally sell human organs. Five years ago, he smuggled himself to Taiwan, and has since operated underground as Bai Xiaosheng."

"His current identity is a fried chicken shop owner, and surveillance caught him returning home three hours ago. The exact address is Minsheng Alley 17, East District of Taibei..."

Upon hearing this, Lu Xingye immediately ordered: "Contact Old Lei, have him take people to control this individual..."

...

Back in the villa, Qi Yun glanced at the text message on his phone, then instructed Niu Da, "Brother Niu, drive to pick someone up. I’ll send you the address."

Niu Da nodded and quickly left.

He drove the Alphard to a spot a few kilometers north at the foot of the mountain. Seeing a Kia parked on the roadside without its lights on, he pulled up beside it.

The Kia’s passenger door clicked open, and out stepped a man wearing a black windbreaker, with a slim build, who was none other than the field agent Old Lei sent by Lu Xingye.

He walked to the rear of the car, opened the trunk, and retrieved a man with his hands and feet bound. After tossing him onto the ground, Old Lei said nothing, climbed back into the Kia, and sped off into the night.

Niu Da, unperturbed by the scene, picked up the man single-handedly, threw him into the Alphard, and then drove back towards the villa.

Upon returning to the villa, Niu Da carried the man directly into the living room, dropping him on the floor with a thud.

The bound man struggled to raise his head — it was none other than the infamous underworld figure Bai Xiaosheng, though few were aware of his appearance.

"Lin Kun, 52 years old, originally from Hong Kong Island. Ten years ago, wanted by the Hong Kong Island police for collaborating with a transnational criminal organization to illegally sell human organs...," Qi Yun stood up and leisurely recited the man’s criminal history.

Upon hearing his true name and past crimes recounted in detail, Bai Xiaosheng’s struggles froze, his face reflecting a sudden terror as he looked at Qi Yun with disbelief.

He had recognized Qi Yun as the target his employer wanted to deal with today; not only was Qi Yun alive, but he had captured him.

Having hidden in Taiwan under the Bai Xiaosheng alias for five years, his closest woman knew nothing of his real past, yet Qi Yun seemed to know everything.

It was truly terrifying...

Qi Yun reached out to pull the cloth from Bai Xiaosheng’s mouth, and said, "I have two questions for you. I hope you can answer truthfully."

Bai Xiaosheng’s throat moved, his voice shaky, "You... you ask."

He was well aware of his current predicament; the fact that they had so thoroughly uncovered his background meant killing him would be as easy as crushing an ant.

Qi Yun was pleased with the man’s cooperative attitude, nodded, and asked, "Who is the employer that contacted you to kill me?"

Bai Xiaosheng replied without hesitation, "I don’t know his identity, but I communicated with him via voice, and judging by the accent, he should be from Huaxia."

Upon hearing this, Qi Yun’s face darkened, the likelihood becoming clear: he was probably from Ma Chaoyang’s group.

Bai Xiaosheng, sensing Qi Yun’s dissatisfaction, hastily added, "There was another group! Two hours ago, another group came to buy weapons and wanted to pay for your whereabouts."

"I think they might also be targeting you."

Qi Yun paused, another group of people? Could it be James’ people?

Most likely, he didn’t have many enemies.

Unexpectedly, those bastards had teamed up...

"Did you give them the weapons?"

"No...not yet," Bai Xiaosheng shook his head, "According to the plan, I’ll place the weapons at a designated location tomorrow morning and then notify them to collect."

Qi Yun pondered his plan, rubbing his chin, before speaking again after a good while, "One last question, besides Fat Bo, did you assign the task of assassinating me to anyone else?"

"No...no one else!" Bai Xiaosheng replied quickly, "When I received news that those three gunmen were caught, I planned to find new people because the employer offered a high price and insisted on killing you."

"But then the people buying weapons came to me, so I thought I’d wait for them to make the first move. If they succeeded in killing you, I could earn an extra portion."

Qi Yun glanced at the guy, thinking to himself that he was quite shrewd.

"Go sit in the corner."

Bai Xiaosheng was very cooperative, jogging to the corner of the living room, squatting down with his hands over his head.

Qi Yun returned to the sofa, explaining to Scarface’s henchman A Rong.
