Chapter 923: The Spy is Captured

The pounding on the door of the private room grew increasingly urgent. He Yuzhu felt a secret anxiety: if he dragged it out any longer, once the bodyguards outside broke in and discovered the people were long gone, the trouble would be sky-high.

At this critical juncture, he calculated a countermeasure in his mind at lightning speed and quickly hit upon an idea: create an explosion. Thinking of this, he immediately pulled out a micro-explosive pack he had recently developed. This explosive did not have a large yield; it was just enough to overturn the entire private room, and it would billow thick smoke after detonating—a new product he had specially improved.

The moment his fingertip pressed the remote control, He Yuzhu's figure flashed, and he hid directly inside the space.

"Boom!"

A muffled explosion resounded through the hallway, and the entire private room shook violently.

Thick smoke, carrying shattered wood fragments, splattered in all directions. The wooden door of the private room was blown away by the powerful shockwave, slamming hard into several security guards at the entrance and sending them flying far away.

Rolling black smoke instantly filled the entire corridor, and a pungent, scorched smell rushed toward them.

"Fire! Run!"

Guests in the neighboring private rooms smelled the thick smoke and all rushed out of their doors in a panic to flee.

For a time, the sounds of wine bottles rolling and colliding, tables and chairs overturning, screaming and crying, panicked running, and glass shattering were all intertwined; the large bar had completely descended into chaos.

Taking advantage of this massive confusion, He Yuzhu appeared from the space, took the opportunity to blend into the scattering crowd, and slipped away silently.

He drove all the way to a desolate, remote open space in the suburbs. After parking the car, he took out a set of bionic alien battle armor he had crafted himself from the space.

The whole body was shiny and silver, with two red indicator lights embedded on both sides of the helmet that flickered on and off. He looked at himself in a portable mirror; the appearance was almost exactly the same as the aliens in the rumors circulating in town.

When the horizon began to turn white with the dawn, He Yuzhu's mind stirred, and he released the five hostess girls he had previously taken into the space.

The five women sat on the ground, dizzy. As they opened their eyes, they saw a silver, metallic monster crouching before them, its two red, light-bead-like eyes staring at them gloomily.

Everyone was so terrified their voices cracked; they huddled together, shrinking back desperately.

He Yuzhu lowered his voice, activated the voice changer, and emitted a sound with a cold, metallic texture: "Listen clearly, those five men have already been taken away by us and sent to our home planet for live experiments. As for you few, we have already collected the necessary samples, and you are of no use, so we are letting you go. If anyone dares to reveal a single word about what happened today, the next ones to be abducted for experiments will be you."

As his voice fell, his figure flickered and vanished into thin air right before the eyes of the five women.

The women widened their eyes, their mouths open wide enough to fit an egg, and they remained frozen in place for a long time, unable to recover their senses.

After a long while, the youngest girl trembled all over and spoke, her voice thick with tears: "W-we really ran into aliens... It warned us not to leak the secret. We absolutely cannot go back to the bar; let's find a place to hide quickly, otherwise, we'll be caught and experimented on sooner or later..."

The remaining four nodded repeatedly, their faces as pale as paper, their bodies unable to stop shaking.

A tall woman pressed hard against her pounding chest, took several breaths, and then tremblingly replied: "It's too terrifying... Those five men are completely doomed; they will never come back in this lifetime..."

As soon as she finished speaking, she took off running, not even daring to look back.

After the women had run far away, He Yuzhu came out of the space again and released the five foreign spies.

The first to wake up was the bald man who led them. In the daylight, He Yuzhu could clearly see that this person had mixed Caucasian ancestry.

His head was bald without a single hair, his nose bridge was high, his skin was fair, and his arms were covered in thick body hair; he was the person in charge of this espionage operation, Mike Feng.

He opened his eyes groggily, looked down, and caught sight of himself bound tightly with hemp rope. His expression changed drastically. He struggled to sit up and roared in stiff Chinese: "I am from M Country! This is illegal kidnapping! My government will absolutely not let you off! If you are sensible, release me immediately, otherwise you will only bring about your own destruction!"

He Yuzhu had a cigarette in his mouth and couldn't even be bothered to lift his eyelids.

When the man's arrogant shouting finally stopped, he suddenly raised his leg and kicked Mike Feng hard in the chest.

"Crack—"

The crisp sound of a dislocated sternum rang out suddenly. Mike Feng fell heavily backward, the back of his head slamming hard against the hard soil.

The color drained from his face instantly, cold sweat rolled down his forehead, and he clutched his chest, wanting to scream, but even his breathing became disordered, and only a wheezing, gasping sound could be squeezed from his throat.

He Yuzhu looked down at him with cold eyes: "You are a spy through and through. Not long ago, you personally sabotaged the brake and throttle systems of four cars. All four drivers fell off a cliff and died; no one has even collected their remains to this day. Do you think you are worthy of using your country to pressure me?"

Mike Feng's whole body stiffened, his pupils contracted sharply, and he feigned composure as he retorted: "You... you have no evidence!"

He Yuzhu curled his lips into a cold smile: "Evidence? If I bring Wang Jianchen out to identify you face-to-face, is that enough?"

Hearing the name "Wang Jianchen," Mike Feng's eyes dimmed instantly. But as a veteran spy, he still braced himself, swallowed, and bluffed: "I don't know any Wang Jianchen at all, and I haven't done the things you speak of! I am warning you for the last time, let me go immediately. If this matter blows up, you won't be able to bear the consequences!"

He Yuzhu couldn't be bothered to bicker with him further. With a wave of his hand, the air in front of him seemed to be torn open by force, and a living person appeared out of thin air.

It was Wang Jianchen.

Seeing Wang Jianchen appear out of thin air with his own eyes, Mike Feng was so scared his eyeballs almost popped out of their sockets. He pointed at He Yuzhu and exclaimed in a choked voice: "You... what kind of person are you? How can you perform such an unbelievable magic trick?"

He Yuzhu completely ignored his shock and kicked Wang Jianchen, who was sitting on the ground, hard in the stomach.

"Awoo!"

Wang Jianchen let out a shrill wail, threw himself onto the ground, and clawed at the earth with both hands. Cold sweat soaked his entire body.

After he eased the pain slightly, He Yuzhu pointed at the five bound spies and asked coldly: "The brakes and throttles of those four cars, was it them who tampered with them?"

Wang Jianchen focused his eyes to see the people opposite him, especially when he met Mike Feng's pale face. He was stunned at first, then a grim, vindictive smile curled at the corners of his mouth: "It was him who led it! This man is Mike Feng, the short one next to him is David. I don't know the names of the rest, but they were all in on it. None of them can escape!"

The last trace of color drained from Mike Feng's face, his lips trembled incessantly, and he couldn't say a single word.

He Yuzhu walked slowly to the five people and sneered: "Since you are spies, you should have heard of the codename 'Shadow', right?"

The expressions of the five people changed simultaneously, as if they had been doused from head to toe with ice water, and they felt cold all over.

Mike Feng's pupils contracted sharply, and it took a long while before he could struggle to squeeze out a voice: "Sha... Shadow? You are actually Shadow? I was just following orders to carry out the mission; I didn't kill anyone personally... As long as you let me go, I can give you all my assets. I have a lot of money!"

He Yuzhu looked down at him, a half-smile hanging on his lips, but there was not a shred of warmth in his eyes: "Tell me about the organization and the contact person behind you. You had better not negotiate with me, otherwise, you will die a miserable death."

Mike hurriedly begged for mercy loudly: "I am willing to confess all the intelligence I know! I have an eighty-year-old mother and a three-year-old child at home to support!"

He Yuzhu scoffed to himself; this guy clearly grew up in M Country, yet he had mastered the domestic routine of begging for mercy perfectly.

"Stop the nonsense and confess quickly. If you say one more useless word, I will finish you right now." He Yuzhu's words were bone-chilling, leaving no room for negotiation.

Mike dared not hold back the slightest bit anymore and, like beans pouring from a bamboo tube, confessed all the intelligence he possessed.
