Chapter 131: The Final Trump Card!

Two living, breathing people, just vanished into thin air like that?

Milos does not believe it!

In this world, there is no one yet who can slip away right under his nose!

Thinking of this, he directly used his walkie-talkie to issue an order to everyone:

"All of you listen to me carefully, the target still has a hostage in his hands, and this hostage's identity is very special; no matter what, you must find her!"

Upon receiving Milos's order, all the pursuing personnel immediately turned the Royal Mint upside down!

They searched every corner of the Royal Mint!

But the final result was still the same!

"BOSS, the target might not be in the Royal Mint."

Upon receiving the news, a subordinate in black walked up to the command vehicle to report to him.

Hearing this, Milos crushed the walkie-talkie in his hand into pieces:

"Have all the hostages prepare to undergo interrogation..."

His tone remained very calm; one could not hear any emotional change at all.

"Yes!"

After the subordinate left, Milos slowly took off his sunglasses, revealing his true face.

He only has one eye.

The left side of his face is covered in bullet holes.

It looks extremely terrifying.

Although he knows that interrogating the hostages might be useless, Milos has no other choice now!

If he cannot find Maria's whereabouts, he fears he will not be able to return to the Secret Intelligence Bureau alive either!

After calming his emotions slightly, he put his sunglasses back on and led several men in black down from the command vehicle.

The moment the group stepped off the vehicle, the onlookers at the entire crime scene erupted!

Milos did not care to pay attention to the onlookers' sarcasm.

He walked straight into the middle of the hostages.

After arriving at the spot.

He went straight to the point and said to all the hostages:

"Hello everyone, as the person in charge of this case, I want to apologize to you all first, because from a certain perspective, you are also victims; it was only out of helplessness that you became accomplices to the robbers."

"Now, I am giving each of you a chance to turn over a new leaf. As long as you tell me the whereabouts of the robbers, I can let bygones be bygones regarding your actions and reward the person who provides the clue with 100,000 Euros. This 100,000 Euros is not some ill-gotten gain; you can spend it reasonably and legally, but there is only one chance. If anyone has made up their mind, step forward and say what you know..."

After Milos finished this sentence, none of the hostages stepped forward.

Seeing this, he smiled slightly, and then continued:

"Everyone, you might not realize the seriousness of this case yet. Don't really think this is some damn Simulated Crime. Do you know what the charge is for robbing the Royal Mint? I can tell you very responsibly that if the charges are proven, you will spend the rest of your lives in prison!"

As his words fell, some hostages seemed a bit shaken.

But in reality, they did not know Chu Chen's whereabouts either!

The next second.

An older hostage spoke up timidly:

"Officer, it's not that we won't tell you, but we really don't know where he went..."

"That's right, we really don't know anything." Another hostage standing next to him chimed in.

"He just told us to put down our weapons and walk out, and then he disappeared," the older hostage continued.

"Everything he said is true!"

"I can prove that everything he said is true! I can swear to God!"

"I can prove it too!"

Milos thought for a moment and said to the old man again: "Before he left, did he say anything else?"

"Nothing else."

Milos nodded: "Didn't he install bombs in your bodies? Didn't he tell you how to take them out?"

Hearing this, the old man replied: "Actually, the bombs were already deactivated by the second morning; he put the antidote in the food. Of course, we only found out about these things later..."

Hearing the old man say this, the heart Milos had been holding up dropped halfway.

"Alright, thank you for your cooperation. If the situation you described is true, I will report what you said to the relevant departments when the case is closed. Alright, you may go and rest."

After finishing the questioning.

Milos returned to the command vehicle immediately.

Just then, the phone in his pocket suddenly started vibrating.

"Buzz buzz buzz—!"

Hearing the sound, Milos immediately took out his phone to look.

It turned out to be a video message.

The sender was a virtual number.

The text subject had only one word in Italian: Surprise.

Below it was a video with very blurry image quality.

The video duration was only about 10 minutes or so.

But the content was jaw-dropping, recording many secrets and insider dealings that could not see the light of day...

Some secrets were things even Milos, the head of the Secret Intelligence Bureau, was learning for the first time!

If this video were made public.

The consequences would be unimaginable...

After watching the entire video, Milos felt a chill rush straight from the soles of his feet to his crown.

At that moment.

Every hair on his body stood on end in unison!

He didn't even notice the cigarette ash falling onto the tabletop.

After a while, having regained his senses, Milos immediately had his subordinates check the registration location and IP address of this number.

But because it was a virtual number, the information found was all Disguise.

The registration location of the number was in Antarctica.

The IP address was in the Arctic.

The information was also set to be released at a scheduled time!

The sending software had no official registration.

It was impossible to find any valuable information at all.

However, Milos knew who the mastermind behind all of this was.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!"

While he was still dazed.

The phone in his hand vibrated again!

The moment he saw the number, Milos immediately took a deep breath, and only after his emotions had completely calmed down did he answer it:

"BOSS..."

"Do as that Huaxia person says..." A very steady male voice came from the other end of the phone.

"You know about the video?"

"Mm... remember, no matter what, you cannot let him release that video, understand?"

"But Maria is still in his hands..."

"Stop worrying about her for now; find a way to locate that Huaxia person and have a good talk with him!"

After saying this, without waiting for Milos to answer.

The other party hung up the phone.

"Beep, beep, beep—!"

After this call ended, Milos quickly realized the severity of this matter; it was likely even more complicated than he had anticipated!
