“And…”

After a slight pause, the voice continued.

“I want my ‘messenger’ to search your body for anything that would cause a misunderstanding or unpleasant time for all of us.”

Kieran didn’t reply, he raised his hands up instead.

The terrified ‘messenger’ carefully went over to Kieran, and even after Kieran raised his hands, the ‘messenger’ still didn’t dare to search him.

“Seems like the ‘messenger’ I chose is not fit for the job.”

“I am sorry it’s my mistake.”

“Why don’t we…”

“N-No!”

A trembling voice came from the ‘messenger,’ the pale middle-aged man got even more scared, and the carefulness was replaced by fear.

It seemed like the ‘messenger’ could hear what the voice was saying.

“A micro-earpiece?”

Lin An, who had been watching the scene, had a heavy expression on his face.

Micro-video camera, micro-earpiece, these were not some gadgets obtainable by ordinary folks, especially the earpiece, only a specialized department would utilize such devices.

Lin An looked down to his phone that displayed the ‘messenger’s’ details, he then walked over to a blind spot where the micro-camera couldn’t capture and showed Kieran the details on his phone.

Name: Jorge (Male)

Age: 45

Occupation: Taxi Driver

…

A detailed background was presented to Kieran, and as Lin An scrolled down his phone, more details were revealed on the screen.

Jorge divorced three years ago, and the rights to his daughter were given to his ex-wife. Jorge was living with his father for now, and three days ago, Jorge’s father called the police, saying Jorge went missing together with the taxi he was driving.

When Kieran finished reading the details, the ‘messenger’ Jorge also completed his search on Kieran. Jorge was very clumsy with the search though, the voice had to remind him very often so that he could finish the job.

“Very well. Now, Sir 2567, please follow my ‘messenger’ and enter the car.”

“And of course, don’t try to play any tricks after you get in.”

The call was then ended.

Jorge looked at Kieran, he seemed to be lost.

In fact, everyone else in the room was also looking at Kieran, but none of them spoke.

As long as the micro-camera was still rolling, the people in the living room had to be careful.

Kieran placed the phone back and didn’t look at anyone.

With professionals like Gorbor and Lin An around, Kieran didn’t have to arrange anything else.

“Let’s go,” Kieran told Jorge.”

“O-Okay, mister.” Jorge nodded in a reserved manner before he turned around and walked out.

A car was prepared at the villa’s gate, Gorbor’s men came down from the driver’s seat and allowed Jorge to get in.

Kieran then got into the passenger seat.

“Be careful.”

Eckart, who was holding the umbrella for Kieran, whispered to Kieran when he closed the door.

Kieran nodded slightly as a reply.

Bang.

After the door was closed, Jorge drove the car away from the villa area steadily and fast.

The car didn’t leave Rain City, though; instead, it started to drive towards the inner city where the population was gathered.

Kieran wasn’t surprised. As long as the voice wasn’t an idiot, Jorge would drive towards the city and not away from it.

Given how populated the city was and how concentrated the buildings were, the voice had the most leverage with the bomb in his hand.

The car was cruising smoothly, and when it entered the main road of the city, Kieran closed his eyes and leaned back in his seat.

There was no need to worry; the car was prepared by Gorbor, and beside him was Jorge, a pitiful soul. Besides, Kieran had a hunch regarding the location Jorge was heading to.

Therefore, rather than keeping vigilance throughout the journey, he might as well take a rest so that he could better deal with the situation later.

As for releasing Mei Huasheng after Kieran and Jorge reached the destination?

Not even a kid would believe it.

The car continued on for around 40 minutes before it stopped in a basement parking lot of a mall.

B2-111!

Kieran saw the sign further away when the car stopped.

Basement second floor, car park No.111.

Then, he turned to Jorge.

Jorge, the ‘messenger’ instantly felt nervous when he caught Kieran’s gaze.

“I-I don’t know, he told me to drive you here…”

“O-Okay, I understand.”

Before he finished, Jorge stopped because new orders came in through the micro-earpiece. Kieran could quickly tell judging from how scared when Jorge talked to himself.

“Mister, please follow me.”

The way Jorge talked showed his habits of a taxi driver.

Kieran then got out of the car and followed Jorge, not up, but down!

When Kieran walked into the hoistway, Jorge was told to lead Kieran down the stairs instead. He then switched off the camera and walked down the stairs.

Kieran squinted his eyes.

The smell of wet cement in the air, the rough edges on the wall, and the lack of stair handles, all the signs were telling Kieran the basement floor was recently built.

Trying to build a basement in a mall could not have fooled everyone.

“He has accomplices here as well?” Kieran wondered.

The stairs going downwards were extremely long. The lower he went, the more doubtful he was.

“It seems like it’s not an underground room. I guess it’s too obvious if he really built one, he would be easily trapped inside instead.”

When the murmurs of water sounded in Kieran’s ears, he finally knew what the mystery person wanted to do.

“The city’s underground waterways!”

“What the mysterious person did just now was all for distraction! Using the underground waterway to get to the real destination is what he wants!”

Kieran could even picture the scene when Lin An finally reached the mall, the officer would be ‘distracted’ by the accomplice there, and the accomplice would surely give a fake location.

The fake location would have nothing, though.

No! If the mysterious person wanted to mess things up further, the fake location would be a trap. Instead, an unforgettable trap and Lin An would surely step into it.

As a police officer, Lin An would never give up on any leads or clues, even if he knew the location would be a trap.

Kieran suddenly halted his steps when the theories formed in his mind, but he quickly resumed walking down the stairs.

Though every two steps he took, he would stop for a while on purpose, and it lasted the whole journey down to the waterways.

Kieran was being subtle, though, as if he was looking around, sizing up the details, but he left messy footprints in random timestamps on the still wet cement stairs.

Jorge, who was leading the way, did not notice. They finally reached the end of the stairs and saw a door, the door was pushed open, revealing a tall, big man with a mask welcoming them.

The masked man was holding a modified mobile phone.

“Sir 2567, are you happy about the first stage of your journey?”

“Well, whether you liked it or not, I assure you the second stage will surely delight and excite you.”

The altered voice of the mysterious person came from the phone through speaker mode, the masked man also moved his body aside, revealed a speedboat behind him.

The speedboat was driven into the underground waterways. Due to the rising tide, the water current was fierce, and although the speedboat was docked, it still waved up and down.

“Please,” the masked man said.
