Chapter 540

Donghai City.

Hearing Hua Ping had just finished handling a case.

At this moment, he was inside the office preparing files.

At this moment.

Two officers walked over, and one spoke first: "Boss, we have news."

"Don't call me boss every time you open your mouth; I am your colleague, call me Officer Hua." Hearing Hua Ping glanced up at the newcomers and then said, "How is it? Is there any progress on the matter?"

"Yes, we can even track down Ning Chen's whereabouts." The young officer smiled.

"Oh!" Hearing Hua Ping immediately became interested. "We have been investigating in Donghai City for so long; I didn't expect him to be operating in such a distant place."

"Let's sit and talk." The other officer, holding a file, pointed to the sofa and said.

"Okay."

Soon, the three took their seats.

The officer holding the file spoke first: "Our investigation in Donghai City is basically complete. Whether it was the previous warehouse or the factory in Donghai City, although we could not capture clues related to Ning Chen, we did obtain some information."

"Did you go ask that woman named Hearing He He?" Hearing Hua Ping asked.

"No, she still won't say anything, and her drug rehabilitation is going very well; she will be out soon. I heard she is going to work at an orphanage, arranged by the director." That officer said.

Then.

He opened the file folder, inside which were several photos of the crime scene.

"Officer Hua, look."

Saying this.

That officer handed the file folder in his hand to Hearing Hua Ping.

After taking it, Hearing Hua Ping looked at the photos, constantly analyzing the clues on them.

Quickly.

Hearing Hua Ping suddenly smiled. "Very good. These days he has also been live-streaming, but he turns off the live stream at night. Now it is almost certain that he will definitely go to Xia Dao."

"Moreover, that Zhao Mengmeng must still have a connection with Ning Chen, but we will not make a breakthrough from her direction. After all, we have not yet confirmed evidence against Ning Chen and cannot act rashly. So, going to Xia Dao to find Ning Chen is now the primary objective." Hearing Hua Ping said slowly.

"Then shall we make arrangements now?" The young officer said.

"As soon as possible. I am afraid if we go too late, it will be too late." Hearing Hua Ping said. "From here to Xia Dao, the fastest time is two days; this time should be sufficient."

The young officer nodded and said: "There is no time to lose; let us go prepare now."

Having said this.

He and that officer stood up, bowed to Hearing Hua Ping, and then left.

Hearing Hua Ping sat on the sofa and let out a long sigh.

He pondered for a while, then took out his mobile phone and began entering a contact number written on the file into the phone.

Hearing Hua Ping did not choose to dial, but chose to save this number.

This was just in case.

"Ning Chen... the Gulf Family you are chasing will soon come to the surface. How much do you know right now?" Hearing Hua Ping murmured. "And, the matter of the undercover agent? It was truly obvious that it was exposed. However, who exactly will that person be?"

At this moment.

Dali City.

Liu Zhiguo let out a long sigh. "This kid Ning Chen really knows how to stir up trouble; this way, his whereabouts are very likely to be exposed!"

"But it is also fine. If someone knew all the inside details, they might be able to deduce it, but now it seems no one can fully deduce it, except Hearing Hua Ping who is currently tracking Ning Chen."

Zhao Shiguo looked out the window.

It was gray and hazy.

The night was a chaotic mess.

388. Mercenary Assassin

"Boss, news has come!"

A burly black man spoke fluent Chinese.

He was holding a mobile phone in his hand at this moment, ran quickly from outside into the tent, and then held up the phone, shouting loudly to the person inside.

"Whose news?" A tall man with a huge build and explosive muscles all over his body asked.

"It is, uh, the Gulf Family. I previously contacted one of their Chiang Mai branches; it was them who sold the white powder to us." That black man smiled, revealing a mouthful of white teeth.

"Let me see; did something go wrong?"

Saying this.

The man opened his hand, Si Shiyi the black man to bring the phone over.

After taking the phone.

The man looked at the information on it and immediately burst out laughing.

The man's name was Kofu; he once volunteered to be a police officer, but his wandering life made it impossible for him to realize his dream.

Afterwards.

Relying on Gao Qiang's skills, he entered a mercenary group.

Strength and courage forged his heroism in killing enemies.

Outstanding battle records made his entire life brilliant.

For how many years.

Kofu became the leader of this mercenary group.

And under his command were countless strong men.

Every time they went to the battlefield, they basically returned victorious.

Facing a hail of bullets, not a single person felt afraid.

Under Kofu's rigorous screening, including Kofu himself, there were only seventeen such mercenaries.

Later.

Perhaps tired of the life of frequent gunfights.

Kofu disbanded the mercenary band and established the current mercenary organization.

A total of seventeen people.

They stationed themselves in Xia Dao, a place with weak police presence.

They often received assassination contracts from patrons.

Now they could basically be called professional killers.

Every assassination target was either from a wealthy noble family or a person of immense power.

When they struck, they never made a mistake.

Today.

Kofu looked at the content on his phone and burst into laughter.

"Go call them all over; I want to tell them a joke."

"Got it!" the Black man said with a smile and walked out of the tent.

A short while later.

Sixteen burly men filed in one after another.

One stepped forward and said, "Boss, why did you call us over?"

Kofu smiled and showed them his phone. "Now, the Gulf Family has sent us a message. It's a bounty. As long as we kill the target they mentioned, the reward is five million US dollars."

"What? Which noble family is this? The bounty is that high?" Someone immediately exclaimed in surprise.

"Could it be an important figure under heavy protection? Probably with helicopters and heavy weapons. In that case, such a price would indeed be justified," another person said.

A burly giant stepped forward and said, "I reckon you're both wrong. It must be the listed CEO of a rival company. The highest bounty we've taken before was four million US dollars. Now there's one for five million. That guy's identity and status must be top-tier!"

Kofu looked at everyone, shook his head, and smiled. "The Gulf Family wants us to kill a common young man with no protective measures, and he's even livestreaming, so we can pinpoint his location."

"Ah?" Everyone was momentarily stunned.

They were good at fighting.

But using their brains wasn't their strong suit.

"Boss, are you kidding? How could a common person have such a high bounty? Isn't the Gulf Family's brain filled with cement?" Someone immediately spoke up.

Kofu glanced at the message again and read the entire content aloud.

"Bounty. Target: Ning Chen. Objective: Kill him. Any means are acceptable."
