Chapter 5: The Fatal Party (Part 2)

  (5)

  Taipei's deep autumn night was not as quiet and cold as Tong Zheng had imagined.

  On the stone steps in the courtyard, there are three pairs of shoes. One pair is only two-thirds as large as the other two pairs.

  At this time, Tang Zhengfei, who was kneeling in front of the low table with great respect, couldn't think of any good pleasantries for a while, except to squeeze out one sentence: "It's been ten years since we last met, Uncle Hongren, you've gotten old."

  A nearly sixty-year-old man with a slightly bald head, wearing a kimono, smiled and looked at Ah Tang, saying softly: "Little Tiger, you're old too."

  My goodness, Ah Tang almost knocked over the clear tea on the table, Taiwanese humor is really scary.

  Wang Hongren looked at the handsome and elegant Ah Tang in front of him, a continuous smile spreading from the corner of his mouth: "Not introduced yet, this is my sworn brother, Deputy Director Lin Yu Bao, who is in charge of intelligence security. You can call him Uncle Bao."

  The serious uncle beside his uncle looked at Ah Tang, neither affirming nor denying. Deputy Minister, isn't he the current Deputy Defense Minister of the Republic of China? Ah Tang didn't dare ask.

  "Young man, I appreciate that you've come back to utilize your personal connections for the benefit of our party and country, bringing welfare to the people. I heard Hongren introduce your situation, and I will do my best to assist with this matter. After you return, someone will contact you, his name is Ninth Special Envoy."

  Ah Tong nodded in agreement, "Thank you, Second Master. I don't know if I can ask for your guidance, but is the so-called Deep Scheme Group really unfathomable? I'm very grateful that Uncle was sent to warn me, otherwise tonight might have been disastrous."

  Lin Zicong and Hong Renbo exchanged a glance, "Young man, some things can only be understood in the end. Do your best and leave the rest to fate. The dance has ended, the party is over, isn't it?"

  "Yes, Little Tiger, you must be exhausted from the long journey. I need to report your safe arrival to Wanli now. Your siblings have arranged a welcome party for you, so take it easy tonight and enjoy Taiwan's nightlife! As for other details, we'll selectively communicate with your supervisor."

  Ah Tong remained silent for a moment, then smiled and accepted his uncle's advice.

  It's a party again, I wonder how the Qian family's party is going. Ah Tang was really lucky to receive Ye Rui's invitation photo before boarding the plane. It was a simple interval cipher, but none of the three police officers noticed it. Reading every other line, the first character spells out "have something, don't come". It seems that even Qian Xiaojie is not safe now. This message tells Ah Tang that he must take action tonight. But no matter what, Taiwan's beautiful girls are also important tonight...

  In the dance pool, the noble guests of Qian Fu's mansion swayed and danced together, accompanied by DG's rock prelude.

  In the labyrinthine corridor, oil paintings that seemed almost identical were on display everywhere. Zhu Jiang felt a bit dizzy, and from time to time, she would brush past courteous waiters who also looked similar, yes, even their masks were very similar, identical!

  Just as Zhu Jiang was about to give up searching, a slender figure leaning against the wall in front of the Buddhist niche at the corner caught her attention. It was her, but she had her back to Zhu Jiang and was talking to a man in hushed tones. The voice was very low, Zhu Jiang stopped and still couldn't hear clearly, the bronze Buddhist niche reflected the face of the man, a refined middle-aged man wearing glasses with frames.

  What's going on, and there's also an affair. Zhu Jiang wanted to say a few words of rebuke, but at this time the big bell rang out, it was nine o'clock. Just as the last chime had not yet stopped, Zhu Jiang suddenly saw a blackness in front of her eyes.

  Power outage!!!

  Immediately afterwards, a powerful hand from behind covered his mouth and nose, dragging him to the side in a daze.

  "Whoa, I haven't even had a chance to put on my transformation mask yet!"

  A loud explosion shook the air, and darkness descended upon the hall. The magnificent chandelier disintegrated in an instant. A thick smoke filled the room, and people disregarded etiquette, scrambling about wildly. Li Baoquan hastily pulled out a plastic whistle from his tightly wrapped formal attire, its shrill sound piercing through the night. "Operation begins! Protect 123! Everyone, get down and cover your heads!" A searing pain shot through his back, but he didn't have time to worry about that. He fumbled for a pumpkin mask and quickly put it on.

  Qian Yunyun's eyes hadn't adjusted to the darkness yet, when a hand grabbed her arm and a voice that sounded like Guo Fu Cheng's whispered in her ear: "Move, follow me!" Her arm was pulled so hard it hurt, she didn't have time to scream, could only be dragged forward at a sprint. In the dark, they knocked over several servants who came to block their way, but they didn't stop because when the lights come on, no one knows if it's death or light. At this moment, her feet were wearing bespoke pearl shark skin boots instead of some soft-soled shoes, what a wonderful thing! She didn't know how long they'd been running, even felt like she wasn't in her own home anymore, Qian Yunyun was panting too hard to ask a question, but the man beside her stopped and looked at his luminous watch, muttering: "10 seconds... 5, 4, 3, 2, 1!"

  Seven

  With a crisp "crack", the lights came on, and Qian Yunyun felt like she had just woken up from a nightmare. Because standing beside her was this thick-set servant wearing a Batman eye mask and sporting an evil grin - it was Ye Rui, with his slender eyebrows and single eyelid.

  When Joe Yat, wearing the Green Hornet mask, and his partner burst in with a group of police officers, Li Baoquan was riding on top of a guy slapping him in the face, while another servant wearing a ninja mask lay sprawled out beside them. Joe Yat yelled loudly, disregarding the shocked or frightened eyes of the surrounding guests: "Nobody move! Take them all away!"

  It was Zhang Wei's words that made Old Li stop his fists and feet, "Li Da Tou, there is still a chopstick stuck in your back, oh, it's silver."

  The chaos only lasted for 3 minutes, and the distinguished guests on the other side of the strait were evacuated early. The police searched Qian's residence and found three servants in addition to the two who were brutally beaten in the living room, with silicon carbide daggers on them. There was also a Zhu Jiaojiao wearing a tiara and a Zhang Weiguo wearing a Superman mask being carried out together. Ah, the bad guys knocked down Zhu Jiaojiao, but didn't expect Zhang Weiguo to be behind her. Guo went to shut off the main power source according to plan, and as soon as he poked his head in, he saw Zhu Jiaojiao being attacked. That is to say, Zhu Jiaojiao was only unconscious for less than 3 minutes, and hadn't even had time to lose her chastity yet.

  The guests at the Qian Mansion were evacuated in an orderly manner, with many of them ignoring the broken lantern fragments on the ground and applauding enthusiastically. Qiao Yi thought to remind them that this explosion was fortunate to have used Liu San Shi's micro-explosive smoke bomb, otherwise there would be countless casualties.

  Qian Yunyun leaned back in the large circular sofa, exhausted. Since discovering that their group had been infiltrated by someone with an unknown identity, she felt like something was going to go wrong. If there were any accidents involving the distinguished guests from across the strait tonight, it would be terrible for both public and private reasons. Tonight's waiter had also mixed in with the dangerous people, probably planning to assassinate the distinguished guest, frame the Qian Group, and then use the opportunity to sabotage and acquire them. Being monitored was annoying enough, but thinking that she might become a pawn in the struggle while her parents were still overseas made Qian Yunyun want to throw things. Would it affect cross-strait relations? Fortunately, they had them.

  "Is everyone here? Look, Superman, Batman, Green Lantern, Calabaza, and also, Tinian Baby, you are all adept at navigating the dark, is it the result of wearing a heroic mask?" Qiao Yi didn't forget his own duties, picking up a water cup as a makeshift microphone, gesturing to Zhang Wei to take note.

  "Right, right!" A figure wearing an Ultraman mask, no, it was Liu San Shi wearing the Ultraman mask, walked in from outside. "Welcome to this operation, which uses our company's new night vision resin masks. Super light, bulletproof, fashionable and warm, suitable for lovers' trysts, friends' nighttime outings, police stakeouts, students after school... bulk orders welcome, and free shipping too!"

  Qiao Yi helplessly shrugged, while Xue Qing was puzzled by the weakness of the Qian manor's surveillance system. Qian Yunyun smiled: "That's a special encrypted channel, I deliberately had it decrypted for these few days."

  "Right, speaking of surveillance cameras, we found a man and a woman who always deliberately turned their backs to the camera, so we couldn't see their faces. What do we do?" Zhang Wei twirled his pen, thinking of something.

  Zhang Weiguo patted Zhu Jiang's shoulder with one hand, "I'm asking you, baby?"

  "Ah, how can I put it... the girl is really pretty, but that guy doesn't have any special features. I just can't describe it, so I'll just draw them instead."

  "This is what it means to be a superhero, to have the appearance of a superhero." Ye Rui expressed his appreciation, "This time we designed an explosion and chaos, and transferred the possible target person in time. Before our opponent took action, we took the initiative first. I want to thank everyone for supporting me, Fei Ge, and the entire Huai'an police force. Thank you all." Ye Rui looked at his hand holding a 4S, "I just received an invitation from Zhang Di of Xuzhou Legal Aid Center, how about we go to Peng City to have some fun before Fei Ge comes back?"

  "Agreed!!!" A burst of cheers almost blew off the roof.

  Well, no choice, although it's a mess everywhere, but tonight's party is still quite colorful.

  Tang Zhengfei also agrees with this point.
