Chapter 185: Not Even Worthy of Carrying Shoes

Guan Chao watched, dumbfounded. He had been waiting to hold Wang Jianfeng accountable, but unexpectedly, the latter had dealt with all those ruthless bandits as easily as slicing melons and dicing vegetables.

Before, he had genuinely looked down on Ye Bufan, but now, it seemed he wasn't even fit to carry his shoes.

Wang Jianfeng's face was filled with pleasant surprise. After regaining his composure, he waved his hand, and his subordinates immediately rushed forward, putting handcuffs on the living members of the Cobra mercenary group and collecting the bodies of the dead.

Ye Bufan reached out and tore the ropes off Qin Chuchu, asking with concern, "How are you? Are you alright?"

Qin Chuchu immediately threw herself into his arms. "I'm fine, Xiao Fan. You scared me to death. Thankfully, you arrived in time."

Ye Bufan patted her back and said, "It's alright, it's all over."

At this moment, Gao Daqiang walked over, carrying Cobra. "Xiao Fan, how should we handle this guy?"

He Shuangshuang came over and said, "Leave him to me. I'll take him back for interrogation."

Ye Bufan nodded. This matter was temporarily concluded, but the mastermind behind it had to be investigated; otherwise, it would always be a threat.

He Shuangshuang directed her subordinates to take Cobra away. Just then, Guan Chao, leading the Special Intelligence Bureau agents, also rushed over and helped up the disheveled Mu Gaofeng.

Looking at his pathetic state, Ye Bufan said mockingly, "Mu Team, you've really opened my eyes today. I finally know what a true man is."

He Shuangshuang said with a laugh, "Mu Team, is this how your Special Intelligence Bureau rescues hostages? You've certainly opened my eyes today too.

But there's one thing I don't quite understand. If you don't have the ability, why insist on acting tough and going alone? Is it enjoyable to be beaten?

Or do you have a connection with those hijackers and deliberately sent yourself over as a hostage?"

"You…"

Mu Gaofeng's old face instantly turned liver-colored. He couldn't blame anyone else; he could only blame himself for acting too tough.

He ignored the two of them and turned to look at Gao Daqiang.

Gao Daqiang's powerful display just now was witnessed firsthand. Such cultivation had at least reached the Profound Rank. If he were recruited into the Special Intelligence Bureau, he would undoubtedly be a great asset.

"Brother, what's your name?"

"Gao Daqiang!"

"And what do you do for a living?"

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

"Security guard."

Although he had just started his new job that afternoon, Gao Daqiang still reported his new profession.

Mu Gaofeng said, "Brother, it's really a pity for you to be a security guard with your skills. Are you interested in joining the Special Intelligence Bureau and working under me in the future?"

Gao Daqiang said without hesitation, "Not interested."

Mu Gaofeng said, "Brother, you might not understand what the Special Intelligence Bureau is. We are a special government department with very special powers, and the pay is very high."

Gao Daqiang curled his lips and said mockingly, "Nonsense. How good can the Special Intelligence Bureau be with someone like you in it?

You acted like a hotshot just now, but you had no real skill and were beaten to a pulp. How can you still have the nerve to call yourselves a special department? I think you're a special-no-skill department, that's what you are."

"You…"

Mu Gaofeng's face turned red from being rebutted, yet he was powerless to argue back.

At this moment, the police officers investigating the scene came out from upstairs, carrying eight bodies.

The person in charge came to Wang Jianfeng and said, "Report, Chief, we have completed the on-site investigation and found eight more bodies, but these people are not with the hijackers from earlier.

We thoroughly searched the bodies, and they all carried Special Intelligence Bureau identification, which means these are Special Intelligence Bureau agents."

Wang Jianfeng turned to Mu Gaofeng and said, "Mu Team, what's going on? Why are there bodies of your Special Intelligence Bureau agents in Miss Qin's office?"

"This…"

Mu Gaofeng had basically understood the situation by now. It seemed that the people he sent had run into these hijackers and were all killed.

But this kind of thing was truly unexplainable. If it got to his superiors, he probably wouldn't be able to keep his position as Team Leader, which he had just taken.

Helplessly, he could only bite the bullet and explain, "It's like this: our Special Intelligence Bureau received intelligence through special channels that someone was going to make a move against Miss Qin.

To ensure Miss Qin's safety, I sent these people over first, but I didn't expect them all to fall victim to the hijackers."

"You're lying."

Qin Chuchu, leaning in Ye Bufan's arms, pointed at a Black-Clothed Man's body on a stretcher and cried out, "These people weren't here to protect me at all! The one who knocked me out was that person!"

Ye Bu

(This chapter is not finished, please turn the page)

Fan sneered, "Mu Team, your Special Intelligence Bureau's method of protecting people is truly unique. Not only do you disguise yourselves as hijackers, but you also knock out the person being protected. It's truly eye-opening."

Mu Gaofeng's old face flushed red as he said, "This… I'm not too clear about the specific situation."

Ye Bufan laughed, "Not clear? Then let me tell you.

I guess it's like this: Mu Team wanted to play a hero-saves-the-beauty scenario, so he first sent people to pretend to be hijackers, and then you would come out to be the hero, performing a solo rescue.

But unexpectedly, the plan couldn't keep up with the changes; so many hijackers suddenly appeared, which is why Mu Team failed and couldn't perform your peerless divine skill."

Hearing him say this, the others suddenly understood. He Shuangshuang said, "No wonder your Special Intelligence Bureau arrived even faster than us after the incident. So you were already prepared beforehand."

Qin Chuchu said angrily, "Mu Gaofeng, you are truly too shameless to do something like this."

Mu Gaofeng quickly explained, "Chu Chu, don't listen to his nonsense. It's really not like that. I sent people to protect you."

Qin Chuchu said, "Then tell me, since they were people you sent, why didn't they use the main entrance? Why did they break through the window? Why did they knock me out as soon as they entered?"

"Perhaps there was some special situation at the time, but these people are all dead, so I can't ask them."

Having no other choice, Mu Gaofeng could only push all the responsibility onto the dead.

Afterward, he didn't want to stay there any longer, so he waved to Guan Chao beside him, "Take our people and withdraw."

With that, he and the Special Intelligence Bureau agents hurriedly left the place.

With things turning out this way, not only did he lose Qin Chuchu's trust, but he also had to account to his superiors. With so many people dying at once, there had to be a reasonable explanation.

Ye Bufan had Gao Daqiang return to the hotel first, then he sent Qin Chuchu back to the Qin Family.

Qin Dongliang, having heard about such a major incident at Qin's Group, immediately assigned an additional team of bodyguards to Qin Chuchu.

Ye Bufan did not linger at the Qin Family but went straight back to the Major Crimes Unit of the Police Station. He wanted to find out who the mastermind behind the scenes was.

Upon seeing He Shuangshuang, he asked, "How are things? Have you found out?"
