BPIFC -Volume 1 – Chapter 106 Peeping

Unexpectedly, Xiao Yifeng, who had been hiding in the Fifth Office as a deputy all along, actually possessed such ability. However, after releasing that burst of breath, he looked somewhat weakened. After gasping a few times for air, Deputy Director Xiao took out his pistol, aimed at the entrance, and fired several shots in succession, taking down the black-clad men rushing in.

At that moment, two more men in black rushed in from behind Che Qianzi, each wielding a long blade. They charged straight at Shen La, swinging down to strike him.

By then, the white-haired man had already pulled Che Qianzi back and was trying to pry off the steel hooks embedded in his body with his bare hands. Shen La acted as if he did not see the two attackers at all, allowing their blades to slash into him.

Seeing this, Che Qianzi hurriedly shouted, “Don’t worry about me! You first—”

Before he could finish, two dull explosions sounded in succession. The two black-clad attackers suddenly burst apart, turning into a cloud of blood mist that dispersed into the air. The young Taoist’s body, suspended mid-air, was splattered all over by the blood mist.

The remaining intruders were completely terrified. They dropped their weapons and fled toward the door. At that moment, Sun Desheng fired at their thighs. As the gunshots rang out, the men fell one after another.

At the same time, in a room of the office building opposite, two middle-aged men in their forties or fifties were spying on the situation in the private room. Seeing the two black-clad men explode into blood mist, they shrank back in horror and quickly ducked down, wiping cold sweat from their foreheads.

The older one said, “That must be Shen La… I don’t even know how he did it. I told you we shouldn’t mess with people from the Special Investigation Bureau. You just wouldn’t listen. Let’s withdraw quickly…”

The younger man glared at him. “Old Four, do you even have a conscience? I was the one who said not to mess with them?” Then he peeked outside again and continued, “It’s fine… These hired men are all disciples of Hou San. Luckily, I kept a backup plan. I used Chen Guangyuan’s name to hire them. Even if something goes wrong, it won’t trace back to us. Too bad we didn’t catch that kid—otherwise we could have used him as bait to lure out Kong Dalong.”

“Still talking about Kong Dalong? With things this big, saving our own lives comes first!” the older man said nervously. “The Special Investigation Bureau will definitely investigate thoroughly. We should hide for now…”

After agreeing, the two of them quietly moved toward the door. Just as they stepped outside, their expressions suddenly changed at the same time.

“You set up a formation at the door?”

“I did…” came a hoarse, phlegm-filled voice from inside the opposite office.

The door slowly opened, and a smiling old man walked out. After seeing them, he clapped his hands.

“I was just planning to watch my son here, didn’t expect to pick the same spot as you two. Even less expected—you actually wanted to kidnap that kid as bait for me. Don’t move. You know what formation this is. Move, and you’ll trigger the core.”

Seeing him, both men looked as if they had seen a ghost in broad daylight. Their faces turned deathly pale, cold sweat pouring down.

The older one cried, “Senior Kong, please spare us! We’ll leave right now, never dare again…”

“Senior?” Kong Dalong sneered. “Do you think you two are on the same level as Hou San, calling me that?”

He crouched in front of them and began searching their bodies, taking out phones, wallets, and other items.

“Passwords for phones and bank cards—you really expect me to ask personally?”

Knowing they were helpless, the two men quickly tried to cooperate.

Old Four said nervously, “Same password for everything—my birthday, April 4th, 1944. There’s over two million in the card. Senior, take it all. I still have other cards at home…”

Old Money also hurriedly said, “Mine is the same too! I also have gold stored underground at home—five hundred taels, all yours!”

Kong Dalong ignored them and checked their phones instead.

“You two really have lucky birthdays. Looks like you were born to live long.”

Then he opened their call logs and pointed at several names.

“I’ve been looking for you for years. Now you’ve delivered yourselves. Old Four, call these people. Tell them you found my trace. Say I’m at Room 8088 of Yong’an Building.”

Old Four hesitated, then forced a smile. “Senior Kong… if I do this, will you let us go?”

Kong Dalong smiled faintly. “Of course. You two are different from them. Killing too many isn’t good—I still need to leave some karmic merit. I’m not like those immortals with white hair who never die.”

Relieved, Old Four immediately began making the calls, relaying Kong Dalong’s message.

After finishing, he said cautiously, “Sir, we’re leaving Beijing tonight. We’ll hide somewhere no one can find us for the rest of our lives…”

“Is that reliable?” Kong Dalong chuckled. “Yesterday I also said I’d never return to Beijing. Yet here I am.”

Before he could finish, Old Money suddenly produced a dagger and lunged at Old Four. But Old Four reacted even faster—slashing his throat first.

Blood spurted out as Old Money collapsed.

Old Four, drenched in blood, forced a smile toward Kong Dalong. “Master… now there’s only one of us left. I swear—”

Before he could finish, Kong Dalong smiled and said, “I don’t need your oath.”

He pocketed the cash and bank cards, then turned to leave. After a few steps, he looked back at Old Four.

“Oh right, I forgot to tell you—I modified the formation. If one of you dies, it still triggers.”

Before the words even faded, blood began pouring from Old Four’s seven orifices. At first it was red blood, then it turned into black fluid mixed with liquefied organs. He collapsed without even managing a final word.
