How is it that every time this guy shows up, something bad happens!
For Li Chonglou, every encounter with Lin Qianqian invariably led to troublesome missions. Now, Lin Qianqian felt the same.
Take the previous incident as an example; it was supposed to be a very ordinary mission, but once Li Chonglou undertook it, it escalated into an international crime syndicate.
Now, it was even more outrageous.
The destruction of the airport buildings alone, coupled with the losses from the entire day's flight cancellations, amounted to an astronomical sum.
Not to mention the hundreds of deaths that resulted from the entire incident. Such major news would likely cause a sensation across the country after tonight. Even if they tried to cover it up as a terrorist attack, the public's attention would likely remain high for a considerable time.
In short, it was a huge mess. Just thinking about it made Lin Qianqian feel a headache coming on, a sense of helplessness with no clear starting point.
Meanwhile, Li Chonglou, who was also a perpetrator of the incident, was in high spirits.
This trip not only resulted in the capture of Green Bull and Liu Fei, but he also gained Eagle Eye and Meat Mountain as two capable subordinates. Well, in Li Chonglou's eyes, anyone hired by him was his subordinate.
As for Chen Pao.
After the group left the airport from the north exit, Chen Pao continued to follow them.
Li Chonglou had promised him to share the secrets revealed by Green Bull and Liu Fei, so he wasn't surprised by Chen Pao's presence. However, seeing him trailing behind after they emerged, a thought suddenly struck Li Chonglou.
This guy was somewhat like a strategist. Li Chonglou hadn't seen him lay a hand on anyone from start to finish. Relying solely on his words, he not only secured the sharing of two secrets from Li Chonglou but also obtained a considerable bounty from the police.
His only expenditure in the entire affair was perhaps the favor owed to Meat Mountain.
Yet, despite this, Li Chonglou felt that the biggest gainer in the entire incident might not be himself, but this guy!
After all, he would also have to take responsibility for this event. Lin Qianqian might not mention it now, but that didn't mean she wouldn't bring it up later!
Li Chonglou knew her too well!
Speaking of Chen Pao, this was just one manifestation of his capabilities. There were also his high-tech robotic surveillance devices and his meticulously planned strategies. All these aspects made Li Chonglou very impressed.
Of course, this impression wasn't that kind of impression. Li Chonglou suddenly fell into deep thought.
What method could he use to keep him by his side?
Chen Pao's specialty was in verbal maneuvering. The method of making empty promises would certainly not work. Furthermore, this guy didn't seem to have much interest in martial arts, so the method of recruiting Zhou Kulin also seemed unlikely to succeed.
It's quite tricky!
Li Chonglou glanced at Chen Pao from time to time. His intent to have him was almost undisguised, making Chen Pao feel rather uneasy.
"Damn it, this guy isn't going to try and get his hands on me too, is he?"
Although Chen Pao's expression was calm, his heart was already filled with intense vigilance!
He had always been the one plotting against others. Now, to be on the receiving end, and from someone who was clearly not simple, it was impossible for Chen Pao to not be nervous.
He had been operating in Shangjing for many years. Although he always kept a low profile, he had never heard of such a person existing. This indicated that the other party was either new, or even more discreet than him!
Regardless of which was the case, it was trouble for Chen Pao, as the unknown was the most terrifying thing!
Not long after leaving the airport, Li Chonglou spotted Kulin. However, Green Bull was nowhere to be seen beside him. Upon approaching, Li Chonglou quickly inquired about the situation.
It was Ah Niu, however, who provided the answer: "Boss, he's gone."
Only then did Li Chonglou notice that Ah Niu's expression was not quite right, but there was no obvious sadness or grief. What he saw more was a sense of calm.
This was a bit strange. Ah Niu had been extremely loyal to Green Bull before. When Green Bull was injured, he was clearly more nervous than Green Bull himself.
But now that the person was dead, he seemed somewhat indifferent?
However, compared to this, Li Chonglou was more concerned about the information Green Bull had mentioned, and his brows immediately furrowed tightly.
Now that the person was gone, didn't that mean the information he had worked so hard to obtain was lost?
Could he be this unlucky? Didn't Long Fei give him the special medicine to take?
Seeing Li Chonglou's expression change several times, Kulin finally spoke, "Don't worry, he left a recording before he died, saying it was what you wanted."
Kulin took out a voice recorder from his pocket. For someone like Green Bull who operated internationally, such a device was like a pen carried by a doctor, something they would keep with them at all times.
Only then did Li Chonglou relax and take the voice recorder. The subsequent Chen Pao immediately leaned over.
"What are you doing?"
"Ah? Let's listen together!"
Li Chonglou suddenly put the voice recorder away and said calmly, "Let's go back first. Besides, you can't listen to the content of this recording first. We'll decide after I've listened."
Chen Pao immediately understood Li Chonglou's intention and said with some displeasure, "Brother Li, this isn't fair. Didn't we have an agreement?"
Li Chonglou smiled faintly and replied, "I remember we agreed to share the information about the materials. Who knows if he had any other secrets for me."
This also made sense. Chen Pao sighed, "Then, as you wish!"
With that, he walked back behind them again.
Kulin, however, kept looking at him with curiosity, seemingly interested in Chen Pao.
Li Chonglou also noticed this and directly asked, "Would you like me to introduce this one to you first?"
Li Chonglou pointed at Meat Mountain. Kulin directly shook his head, "No need, I can't beat him."
Well, that's practical!
The inexplicable conversation between the two immediately put the rest of them on alert. After all, to their ears, their conversation had a double meaning, somewhat like looking for a suitable partner…
Could it be that!
Even Eagle Eye couldn't help but take a step back!
Li Chonglou glanced at them, seeing all three with nervous expressions, and said with some exasperation, "What are you thinking about? His name is Kulin, and he likes to spar with people, cough, fight."
"Then why are you staring at me? I don't like fighting either." Chen Pao tightened his collar, making Li Chonglou feel speechless.
However, Kulin was more candid and stated directly, "I can't beat this one. He clearly doesn't excel at close combat."
Chen Pao suddenly breathed a sigh of relief, but still said, "Then don't look at me. I really don't like fighting. Why don't you find him?"
Chen Pao suddenly pointed at Liu Fei, who was being held under Meat Mountain's armpit. The latter's expression immediately froze.
However, Liu Fei was wearing a mask, and since Meat Mountain was controlling him, he couldn't resist. He was too lazy to even circulate his internal energy, and his presence was extremely low.
If Chen Pao hadn't spoken, Kulin would have at most glanced at him.
So, at Chen Pao's reminder, Kulin's interest was piqued, "Can he fight?"
