Chapter 282: Huang Bingyao

"Mo Ge, what do we do next?"

"Chen Mo scanned the area and said gravely, 'Collect the weapons, pile these corpses together with those cars, set them on fire, and wipe everything clean.'"

"While the others were shuffling cars and moving corpses, Chen Mo headed to his own ammunition transport truck, pulled out an SVD sniper rifle, lifted it to take a test aim, and indeed found it lacked any feel."

"Chen Mo immediately spent 8,000 wealth points to upgrade his firearms mastery skill to advanced, then lifted the sniper rifle again, and the feeling changed instantly."

"The arm‑like, pistol‑like handling returned."

"The SVD sniper rifle's effective range is 800 meters, with a maximum range of 1,300 meters."

"But now Chen Mo feels he can hit wherever he points within 1,200 meters!"

"That feeling—awesome!"

"Boom—Boom—Boom......"

"The corpses and cars drenched in gasoline burst into a raging fire."

"Mo Ge, it's done."

"If it's done, then withdraw."

"Ah Jie, drive the truck back to base, get the brothers ready, and tomorrow night head to Han Bin's place to catch a boat."

"\"Alright! \" Li Jie nodded and got into the truck's cabin."

"At midnight, Chen Mo guessed that the police operation had been underway for two hours and was probably winding down, so he called Huang Bingyao again."

"\"Huang Sir, what's the result now? \""

"\"Thanks, Ah Mo. If it weren't for your idea, this trouble would have been much bigger. That bastard Zunyiwang hid so much explosives beneath the hospital; luckily he isn't here tonight. \""

"Huang Bingyao's voice was weary but tinged with relief."

"\"We're on the same side, you help me, I'll help you. You didn't find any transaction records linked to me at the hospital, did you? \""

"\"Don't worry, their ledgers were burned by Zunyiwang's men, and the few people we caught don't know that the person who dealt with him tonight was you."

"You, you, your nerve's getting bigger!"

"Chen Mo twitched his mouth, 'My nerve's never been small.'"

"\"Anything else? If not, I'm going to sleep; I'm exhausted to death tonight! \""

"\"Got something! \" Chen Mo quickly interjected to stop Huang Bingyao from hanging up, \"Is tonight's merit enough for you to get promoted again? \""

"\"Damn! What are you thinking! \" Huang Bingyao said helplessly, \"I was just promoted to Chief Superintendent this year; I'll probably stay in this post until retirement! \""

"Chen Mo frowned, \"The merit from tonight's case should be significant; even if I can't be promoted this year, it'll be about the same next year, right? \""

"\"Putting aside the fact that I was just promoted to Chief Superintendent this year, how many Chinese can rise to Director level in the Gangdao Police Department? \""

"Back then, Li Shutang achieved so many feats, yet he still retired at the Chief Superintendent rank, didn't he?"

"Now the highest‑ranking officer in the police department, Cai Yuanqi, is only a senior assistant director. He only got that seat because he comes from the political department and has support from the foreigners."

"Chen Mo only then realized he had previously overlooked this point."

"Gangdao is still run by foreigners; Chinese officials can't reach the top echelons at all."

"It will be at least two years before Gangdao's political landscape undergoes a major shift, and then half of the senior posts will be allocated to Chinese."

"Only then will there be an opportunity for Huang Bingyao."

"Unexpectedly, Huang Bingyao changed tack and continued, \"Actually, there is a way for me to get another promotion. \""

"\"What method? \" Chen Mo was still eager to push Huang Bingyao up quickly."

"Even as an assistant director, it counts as director‑level, and later there'll be chances to ascend even higher."

"Cultivating good relations with senior officials is far more reliable than trying to lift one yourself."

"Huang Bingyao schemed, \"If we handle two or three more cases like today, maybe I can get another promotion before the end of next year."

"I'm counting on you, little brother! \""

"\"Damn, you're talking nonsense! \" Chen Mo hung up the phone."

"Blowing up an arms dealer's cache hidden beneath a hospital isn't a trivial case."

"Want two or three more? Unless Chen Mo sends Great Prosperity's Dragon Head plus twelve handles straight in, it's about as likely!"

"Stepping out of the study, Chen Mo suddenly faced a choice."

"Sleep in the third‑floor bedroom? Or the second‑floor bedroom?"

"The third floor is occupied by Gang Sheng and Qiu Di; the second floor houses Cheng Haiyao and Kaiselin. So hard to choose!"

"After thinking it over, since they're sailing tomorrow and the round trip will take about a week, I'll stick with the third floor."

"Next time Cheng Haiyao and Kaiselin share a bedroom, I'll take the second floor."

"Originally, Cheng Haiyao and Kaiselin were a bit less attractive than Gang Sheng and Qiu Di, and they were also outnumbered."

"So I slept on the third floor."

"The next day, Chen Mo returned to the bar office, summoned Shen Guodong to arrange his upcoming sea mission."

"It's been three or four days since his assassination attempt, and unsurprisingly Madam M must have already received word that the hit failed."

"Cheng Haiyao and Kaiselin haven't shown up in public these two days; they definitely know about Jiang's death."

"Perhaps, in Madam M's eyes, Chen Mo has already taken out her three assassins."

"She may not think Chen Mo will retaliate, but she's very likely to keep sending people to Gangdao and might even target Chen Mo's woman."

"\"Guodong, after I leave tonight with the others, you and the remaining brothers be careful, especially with those sisters‑in‑law of yours."

"Anyone trying to get close to them, regardless of gender, must be thoroughly vetted and kept on guard."

"\"Moreover, you all need to stay alert; those assassins are adept at using beauty traps, and I don't want to go out and return with fewer brothers."

"Shen Guodong solemnly nodded, \"Don't worry, Mo Ge, I understand; I'll remind them. \""

"Seeing that Shen Guodong had taken note, Chen Mo asked another question, \"Did we find Ah Wei yet? \""

"Shen Guodong shook his head, \"No, the brothers have inquired everywhere and found no trace of Ah Wei. Could he have already left Gangdao? \""

If we can't find him, forget it, no need to keep looking.

We, so many brothers, have searched for three days and still haven't found him; either he was silenced by someone, or he left Gangdao.

No need to waste more time on him; at most he's just a minor character, not important.

What about Fang Ting? How is her side? Does she usually have many people around her?

As for Fang Ting's side, she rarely goes out; each time she goes out she always has four bodyguards with her, which should all have been arranged by Jiang Tiansheng.

Chen Mo frowned slightly: "Does she never have a moment when she's alone?"

"There is, but we haven't noticed it these past two days." Shen Guodong laughed, "A few days ago, one of the brothers below said that Fang Ting occasionally comes to Nüren Jie to shop."

When she goes shopping at the mall, her bodyguards wait outside at a tea restaurant, drinking something, while Fang Ting herself wanders inside the mall for an hour or two.

"Really?" Chen Mo's eyes lit up.

Shen Guodong thought for a moment and said: "For now it's not certain; we need to keep tailing her to see."

Alright, arrange people to follow her, including when she gets hungry while shopping at the mall, to see if she really has no one around her.

Chen Mo thought that to silently kill Jiang Tiansheng, he would indeed need Fang Ting's assistance.

The crow can force Fang Ting to betray Jiang Tiansheng by taking nude photos; there's no reason Chen Mo can't do the same!
