Solving Middle Age Crisis by Intelligence System-Chapter 499 - 314: Hello, Chief Qi!
Hsinchu City, in a suburban villa.
Qi Yun extinguished the cigarette butt, stood up from the sofa, and walked slowly to stand over Fei Bo, who was curled up on the ground.
At this moment, after Niu Da brutally dislocated both of Fei Bo’s arms, he finally stopped screaming and was forced to calm down.
Cold sweat kept dripping from his forehead, fear gripping his heart.
"Can we talk now?" Qi Yun’s voice remained calm, carrying an undeniable sense of oppression.
Scar Brother behind him looked at Fei Bo’s cowardly appearance with undisguised disdain. These young ones in the underworld these days had none of the backbone of their generation.
But Fei Bo couldn’t care less about what others thought of him. His body was twitching from the pain, and he nodded with difficulty: "We... can talk..."
"Do you know me?" Qi Yun crouched down, staring sharply at him.
Fei Bo was unnerved by Qi Yun’s gaze, cold sweat rolling down his face. His eyeballs spun twice, and he finally didn’t dare to lie: "I... know you..."
From the moment he saw Qi Yun in the villa, he knew something went wrong and why he was captured. So he deliberately acted arrogantly, hoping to feign ignorance and pass the blame onto his subordinates.
But he underestimated the ruthless methods of Niu Da and others, who dislocated his arms without a word. He wasn’t even sure if they were dislocated or crushed, only feeling piercing pain.
This made him realize that if he wasn’t honest today, he might not live to leave.
After all, he had done such things himself, putting someone in a sack and throwing them into the sea without a trace.
"Who sent you to kill me?" Before Fei Bo could think more, Qi Yun’s voice sounded again.
The question made Fei Bo shiver all over. He quickly weighed his options and finally made up his mind: "If I tell you everything, will you let me go?"
Qi Yun said nothing, standing up and took two steps back.
Niu Da got the hint, and stomped hard on Fei Bo’s hand.
"Crack!"
The sound of bones breaking, accompanied by a heart-wrenching scream, exploded in the villa.
"Do you have the right to bargain?" Niu Da’s tone was unfriendly, exerting more force.
Fei Bo was in so much pain he almost passed out, his body twitching uncontrollably, unable to form complete sentences: "I! I’ll talk! Don’t... don’t step on it anymore! My hand will break!"
Only then did Niu Da slowly lift his foot, coldly glaring at him.
Fei Bo’s right hand was twisted at a strange angle, and he screamed in pain: "Bai Xiaosheng! It was Bai Xiaosheng who contacted me!"
"Bai Xiaosheng?" Qi Yun frowned, never having heard of him. Why would someone send people to kill him?
Scar Brother seemed to see his confusion and explained: "This Bai Xiaosheng is a famous intermediary in Taiwan, specializing in dark business deals, from cross-border smuggling channels to gang resales. As long as you pay enough, he’ll take any job."
"The trickiest thing about him is that he never shows his face, even those who’ve worked with him haven’t seen his true form."
Qi Yun nodded thoughtfully, looking back at Fei Bo: "How do you contact him?"
"Through chat software! Telegram!"
"I’m giving you a chance, find a way to ask him for his location, and I’ll let you go."
Logically, Qi Yun had already given him a way out, but Fei Bo showed no joy. His face was pale as he shook his head: "No... I... I can’t find out!"
"He won’t tell me, even the payments were in USTD."
Qi Yun turned to look at Scar Brother, who nodded slightly: "This Bai Xiaosheng is indeed very cautious. It’s not easy to find him."
Qi Yun’s expression darkened; even payments were anonymous cryptocurrency, showing Bai Xiaosheng’s mastery in covering his tracks.
He crouched down again, staring at Fei Bo’s trembling face, his voice growing cold: "So, you are of no use to me?"
Fei Bo was so scared by that statement that his soul nearly flew away. He shook his head frantically, shouting: "No! I’m still useful! I have money! I’ll give you money! Please spare me!"
"Heh, so tell me, how much do you think your life is worth?"
"Ten million! I have ten million USTD! I’ll give it all to you!" Fei Bo was desperate to save his life, offering up most of his fortune.
Ten million USTD is ten million dollars. Qi Yun wasn’t too surprised by the number, as those in black markets made money fast and were well-off.
Besides, he didn’t intend to kill the guy, as he was just someone working for money, not worth dirtying his hands over.
So if a ten million dollar payout could calm his nerves, sparing the guy wasn’t out of the question.
He then gave Niu Da a look, who understood, crouched down, grabbed Fei Bo’s left hand, and "crack" put his arm back in place. Then he pulled out the phone that had been confiscated and tossed it on the ground.
Fei Bo tried moving his left hand, finding it could move freely again. Without time to be happy that he could once again play with certain things, he immediately picked up the phone and quickly unlocked the screen, afraid Qi Yun might change his mind and take away his chance at life.
"The... address! Give me your wallet address!" Fei Bo’s head was still sweating profusely as he looked up.
"Call Ah Jiao." Qi Yun instructed Niu Da before walking out of the villa.
Once outside, he hesitated for a few seconds, finally pulling out his phone, glancing around to ensure no one was nearby, then dialed Director Duan’s number.
The phone rang for a good half minute before being picked up, with Director Duan’s caring greeting: "You better have a good reason, or don’t bother coming back."
Qi Yun immediately told him about the attack, and after hearing it, Director Duan was silent for two seconds: "How do you want to handle it?"
"Director, I have a meeting with a very important person tomorrow and I’m worried there might be another hitman trying to disrupt it..."
The two talked for five or six minutes before ending the call. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺
Qi Yun didn’t rush back to the villa, lighting a cigarette and smoking outside. Before long, his phone rang, displaying a number based in Taiwan.
"Hello Chief Qi! I am Lu Xingye, the leader of the secret QB Bureau’s first group in Taiwan!"
Qi Yun was a bit taken aback, being called Chief for the first time, a bit unaccustomed.
"Hello, Leader Lu."
Lu Xingye’s voice was very loud: "I’ve received orders from the higher-ups, the first group is on standby, ready to follow Chief Qi’s instructions!"
"Alright, here’s the task: I need you to find someone known as Bai Xiaosheng, capture him, and notify me." Qi Yun didn’t hold back, directly assigning the task.
"Yes! I’ll immediately search the database for the target information!" Lu Xingye responded at once.
"Good, contact me anytime if there’s news."
After ending the call, Qi Yun extinguished his cigarette and walked back into the villa.
