The Most Powerful Bodyguard-Chapter 951: The Incident and the Power of Capital

A maid standing at the door behind him carried a tray.

On the tray was a bottle of exorbitantly priced fine wine, a private collection of the vice president.

The door was half ajar; she couldn't see clearly, but she could smell the blood and hear the vice president retching.

With a hint of unease, the maid summoned up the courage to push open the door.

Upon seeing the scene before her, the maid blacked out, collapsing directly to the ground, passing out completely.

The precious wine on the tray also shattered into pieces as it fell, spilling all over the floor.

Audin's death was destined not to be kept a secret.

However, the powerful force behind Audin could not possibly hand this matter over to the police to handle.

Because once that happens, everything about Audin would be exposed.

There are many unknown secrets here that they absolutely cannot allow to be exposed.

Relying solely on the force behind Audin, the government agreed to let them handle the matter privately.

Similarly, the United States government could breathe a little easier.

After all, if this matter is handled quietly, the impact on the government would be minimal.

Otherwise, if things got out of hand, even if the United States government handled the case as quickly as possible, it would probably be to no avail.

As for the two culprits, they were currently waiting idly for the bait to bite in a small alley.

After about ten minutes, Ao Tian, a bit impatient, smirked:

"If not for considering our current identities, I would have just killed those two on the street, saving us this much time."

Yang Yan said nothing; ten minutes was just a blink of an eye for him.

These two had to be dealt with.

Otherwise, would he let them follow them back to the hotel and exacerbate the trouble?

That was not his style.

Audin's subordinates, upon seeing Yang Yan and Ao Tian enter and not come out for a long time, finally realized something was wrong.

"Could they have discovered us and run another way?"

One of them said, looking grim.

"No way?"

The other one, despite saying, "no way," was clearly uncertain.

"Let's go, follow quickly!"

The one who spoke first broke into a jog.

At this point, they couldn't afford to be complacent.

After all, if the Tear of the Angel wasn't retrieved, it was imaginable how terrifying it would be for them.

However, entering the alley, they found it was a dead end.

There were only a few buildings, with nothing else around.

After a brief discussion, they decided to search one of the buildings.

They thought this could be Yang Yan and Ao Tian's temporary base.

Otherwise, there was no reason they would vanish here.

"You've made me wait so long that I'm getting bored."

At this moment, a person suddenly appeared at the stairs of the second building.

Saying this, the person stretched lazily, with a relaxed demeanor.

A closer look revealed it was none other than Ao Tian.

Yang Yan remained silent, appearing behind the two of them without them knowing.

The two of Audin's subordinates looked at Ao Tian in terror.

Being able to stay by Audin's side, their skills were naturally not bad.

But that was only relative to ordinary people.

In the present situation, it was clear they knew they had been tracked all along and were deliberately waiting here for them.

Would they dare do this without substantial strength?

"Since you're here, no need to leave. I think these buildings are old and could use some fresh blood to bolster them!"

Ao Tian flashed a demonic smile, his scrutinizing gaze turning on them.

"Ha! How ridiculous."

One of them suddenly regained a confident demeanor, sneering at Ao Tian:

"You're about to die yourselves, what right do you have to judge our life and death with such arrogance?"

"So what if you've discovered us?"

Ao Tian looked peculiar after hearing this.

Yang Yan, standing behind them at that time, also couldn't help but smile.

But he really had no interest in playing with two small fry.

His actions were swift and efficient.

The two didn't even have time to react before they were dead, lifeless as can be.

"Let's go!"

After killing the two, Yang Yan didn't spare another glance, turning around to leave.

But as they left, a single overheard statement instantly disrupted all their plans.

"I heard the whole city's under lockdown, no reason given, and the government hasn't provided any information."

"All I know is, from today until the lockdown ends, we can't easily enter or leave the city."

"Yes, even my nephew in the police department doesn't know why."

"What? Old White, your nephew is a squad leader, even he doesn't know?"

The one called Old White nodded:

"He only said that some bigwig above has made a move, even the police are clueless."

Another person chimed in agreement:

"It's true! I heard that after the lockdown, there will be checks on everyone's identity."

"My God, are they crazy? There are at least four to five million people in the city!"

"Seems like they are."

In a small tavern, the buzzing discussions were overheard by Yang Yan and Ao Tian as they passed by.

"So quick?"

Ao Tian was a bit surprised.

This speed had surpassed their previous expectations.

Undeniably, the power of capital is immense.

Especially in the gold-standard-obsessed United States, this power is showcased vividly.

"We can't go back now. And this identity can't be used anymore."

Yang Yan looked at Ao Tian, his gaze settling on his face.

Ao Tian naturally understood Yang Yan's meaning, touching his face with a hint of reluctance.

He himself was a handsome man, but he seemed to prefer his current disguise.

Because everything seemed so perfect, aligning perfectly with all his ideal states.

"So, where are we going now?"

Ao Tian asked with a smile.

Yang Yan smirked:

"Didn't we prepare a few identities just in case? Now's the time to use them."

"So, just find a place to change masks, and then use a new identity to check into a hotel."

Ao Tian shrugged indifferently:

"Alright, that's our only option."

Ao Tian always carried the tools with him.

So changing faces wasn't difficult at all.

In fact, if necessary, they both had the ability to change their faces without any tools.

However, in doing so, keeping the transformed face would somewhat distract them, something both were unwilling to choose.

As for the documents, they were in their personal space, ready for retrieval.

Thus, Ao Tian's women and Yang Yan's new flame, Su Su, didn't wait for their return.

The next day, Ao Tian's women left, grumbling.

They, of course, couldn't wait endlessly for Ao Tian.

But Su Su stayed in the room, patiently waiting.
