"Brother-in-law?!"
Su Ning Shuang was startled and uncertain.
Qin Ye Xuan smiled beneath the mask.
"Let's find a hotel to rest first," he said, handing her a gold card. "Shen Hai Hotel. I've arranged it for you. It's closest to the Gao Yao family. I'll contact you after daybreak."
Su Ning Shuang reached out to take the gold card.
The masked man's eyes looked so familiar.
The girl suddenly lunged forward, reaching for the mask. "Stop playing games! Let me see your true face!"
Qin Ye Xuan dodged lightly, feeling a headache coming on.
Su Ning Shuang sneered, "Brother-in-law tells me everything he does in advance. Do you think you can fool me?"
The card in Qin Ye Xuan's hand flashed, landing in her arms. Then he turned and vanished into the night.
He reached a hidden spot and quickly dialed Su Ning Shuang's phone.
"Brother-in-law?" Su Ning Shuang answered, her voice filled with emotion.
"Ning Shuang, a masked person is a friend of mine from Hong Kong. Trust him as much as you trust me."
Su Ning Shuang stood stunned. She had a myriad of questions, but Qin Ye Xuan had already hung up.
He hoped this would make the girl behave.
He was hiding his identity for reasons he couldn't easily explain.
Hong Kong was teeming with spies and agents from various countries.
And the last thing Qin Ye Xuan wanted was for his identity to be exposed.
Over the years, he had made countless friends, but he had also made countless enemies.
Some of these enemies had special identities and formidable abilities, and they were still alive today.
Therefore, the secret of his identity must never be revealed to the Su sisters.
Meanwhile, Su Ning Shuang, with her mind full of questions, rushed to the Shen Hai Hotel mentioned by the masked man.
As soon as she entered, the hotel lobby, including the manager, greeted her with utmost respect.
"We received a notice from headquarters that the entire hotel has been booked. You are the only guest!"
Hearing this, Su Ning Shuang's eyes widened. "This entire hotel, and it's all for me?"
"Yes, including drivers, security, chefs, and room service. Six hundred Shen Hai employees will be fully responsible for your accommodation, food, and transportation in Hong Kong."
Su Ning Shuang didn't know what to say.
Her mind was completely blank.
Who was this masked man, and how close was he to Brother-in-law?
He had booked an entire hotel for her!
Just as she stood there in a daze, Liang Han Xing's call came.
"Junior Sister, let's meet. I have some information to share with you."
Su Ning Shuang agreed to meet Liang Han Xing in the hotel lobby.
Upon entering, Officer Liang clicked his tongue. "Shen Hai Hotel, one of the top three luxury hotels in Hong Kong. Junior Sister, how did you get in here?"
Su Ning Shuang smiled coyly, brushing off his question with a few vague words.
Liang Han Xing opened the file in his hand. "It's about the masked man. These are the only old records we have."
"Because our records were digitized long ago, only cases from sixty years ago still use paper. The information couldn't be entered into the system."
Su Ning Shuang was shocked. "The masked man is related to cases from sixty years ago?"
"More than that! When I graduated from the police academy, the eighty-year-old principal told me stories from many years ago, during the wildest era of the underworld. A god of death wearing a black mask appeared in Hong Kong, single-handedly taking down almost all the major figures of the time!"
Su Ning Shuang shook her head. "That's incredible. If that's the case, the masked man must be at least eighty or ninety years old?"
Liang Han Xing recalled, "They say that when that god of death left, he left behind a 'Heavenly King Token.' At that time, the eight Chinese detectives in Hong Kong all swore to abide by the god of death's rules upon receiving the token. Today, among the eight detectives, four have immigrated, and the remaining four are all high-ranking officials."
Liang Han Xing pointed upwards. "Those at the highest level of the police department are all witnesses from that time of the Heavenly King Token."
He finally put down the file and sighed. "In short, you need to be careful. We've received orders from above that you're not allowed to be involved in this case. I can only help you this much."
Su Ning Shuang hugged the documents, filled with gratitude. Su Dan Novel Network.
The case in Hong Kong had become increasingly complex. The Gao family had doubled Su Ning Shuang's bounty, and the twenty million reward had attracted countless assassins.
Meanwhile, on the Gao family's luxurious cruise ship, a family meeting was underway.
Gao Yao held his wine glass, his expression grim, his fingers trembling.
Gao Jian, the family's second-in-command, also frowned, rubbing his forehead incessantly.
Before them lay a wooden box containing a hand.
"Tian Le's hand! They cut it off and delivered it to us as a gift. What a profound humiliation!" Gao Yao roared in anger.
Gao Jian quietly reported, "Our insider in the police department says that man might be related to the masked man from sixty years ago!"
"What?"
Gao Yao's hand trembled, unable to hold the wine. His eyes widened. "Sixty years ago, the Hong Kong god of death wiped out all the bosses in one night, and even Kowloon Walled City bowed before him. He, he has reappeared?"
"Brother, you're overthinking. That god of death would be at least ninety years old by now, likely dead. This is a young man who has appeared. Even if he's the god of death's apprentice, there's nothing to worry about."
Gao Yao trembled nervously and abruptly ordered, "Summon the number one assassin in Southeast Asia, the Mute Devil! I want to deal with that damned Su Ning Shuang as soon as possible!"
