Chapter 291 Exposed Special Abilities!

After completing two Bronze Missions in a day and accumulating three Bronze Points in his hand, Su Yang momentarily became a little complacent.

In fact, he didn’t know when his Bronze Points began becoming as common as his random points. In the past, this was something he didn’t even dare to think about. ‘Did the system promote me to the next level?’ As he lamented, Su Yang released Janet from the bedroom and asked him whether he was alright. After confirming that he wasn’t injured and only had a torn-up shoe, he brought Janet back to the virtual space.

Summoning a few little monster beans to clean up the wrecked home, Su Yang called the locksmith again. Although this broken security door is only an grade lock, it could only prevent a simple break-in. However, a proper thief wouldn’t be stopped by it. A lock would definitely give some peace of mind. After all, nobody would want to live somewhere anyone could come and go as they please like it was a public place.

After ensuring that the locksmith would be coming over in an hour or so, Su Yang brought out the (Small Bench That Refuses To Eat Melons) and watched the little monster beans clean up while he ate some melons.

As he was cracking the melon seeds to eat them, he suddenly turned pale. ‘Sh*t! I forgot to ask Pan Zhaodi if she’s seen anyone suspicious.

He had gone home earlier to look for clues about the three people who had infiltrated the house and the bug. However, he didn’t expect to forget about it because of a fight with Pan Zhaodi!

Thinking along those lines, he commanded the little monster bean to go over the house and look for the bug. Soon, the bug was found. It was just above the living room’s curtains.

Su Yang’s face was gloomy as he looked at the bug affixed to the ceiling. It was because he seemed to have accidentally revealed things he shouldn’t have said.

At the same time, in a hotel two kilometers away from Su Yang’s neighborhood, three people with different appearances were staying in a room.

The youth with eyebags was lying on the bed, fast asleep while hugging a pillow.

The short, skinny man who looked like a monkey was holding a knife and apple in his hand. With a slight movement with his hands, the knife smoothly skinned the apple and soon, a skinless apple appeared in his hand after a strip of skin fell onto the ground. Baldy was wearing headphones while listening intently in front of the device. The more he listened, the deeper his frown became.

After listening for a full half-hour, he put the headphones down and beckoned toward the other. “Sea Serpent, Monkey, come over here and listen. What the hell does this mean? Why am I getting a weird vibe from this?”.

The thin, young man with eyebags, also known as Sea Serpent, rolled over and continued to snore, apparently unable to be disturbed from his sleep by anything.

While peeling apples, Monkey looked up at the big man, reluctant to go over.

The big man looked at him again and called out, “Monkey!”

Monkey angrily slapped the apple on the table and got up to go to Baldy.

Behind him, the apple quietly cracked open and was divided into eight equal pieces, each cut smoothly.

Arriving beside Baldy’s, Monkey moved a chair and sat down, asking somewhat grumpily, “What kind of weird things?!”

Baldy didn’t say anything, took out another earphone and plugged it into the machine before handing it to Monkey.

Monkey irritably put the headphones in his ears, and all he could hear were the sounds of people fighting and girls screaming. It sounded like two women fighting intensely. “Bang! Bang! Bang!”

After Su Yang asked them to stop and conversed with Pan Zhaodi.

Monkey frowned and listened, feeling a little impatient. However, he also knew that there would be more to the recording since Baldy asked him to listen to it.

Surely enough, the fight was over after a while and the woman began to recount her miserable experience. Then, Su Yang, who was their target, loaned 500,000 yuan to the woman without hesitation.

Monkey eyes shone brightly. ‘500,000 yuan just like that? What the heck, this guy was isn’t as simple as the investigation reports show!’

He felt a little more interested now.

Monkey continued to listen and after a while, the sound of a door opening was heard as Su Yang’s voice was heard, “Janet, are you okay?” “You aren’t injured, right?”

“That’s good. Then you should go back to the virtual space and get some rest.”

‘Virtual space?’

Monkey keenly caught the word. ‘What did it mean? Is it a code word? Or is it somewhere else?’

Then, everything became silent.

After a while, he heard shuffling sounds once again. It was like there were bugs creeping around before Su Yang’s voice was heard again. “You guys, fix all of this.” “Bean! Bean! Bean!”

He heard some kind of strange chant.

Baldy motioned for Monkey to remove his headphones before asking, “What do you think?”

Both of Monkey’s thin hands moved unconsciously but carefully while he was deep in thought. However, since he wasn’t that good at using his brain to begin with, these strange conversations made him feel like his head had turned to mush!

He couldn’t figure it out and said irritably, “I definitely feel like it’s very weird. Still… I can’t put my finger on the thing that feels off.”

The bald guy pointed to the youth with eyebags on the bed. “Ask Sea Serpent to come here.”

Monkey glared at him, then got up, came over to the skinny youth, and gave him a kick. “Sea Serpent! Wake up!”

The skinny youth rolled over on the bed.

The veins on Monkey’s forehead popped as he bared his teeth. “You aren’t getting up, are you?! Believe it or not, I’ll cut you up!” After he finished his threat, he didn’t even see the skinny youth exerting any energy. Instead, the skinny youth just stretched his upper body before yawning while rubbing his eyes, asking as he did so, “What is it? Why are you so anxious?”

Baldy waved at him.”Come over here and listen.”

Sea Serpent slowly got off the bed, walked over, took Monkey’s place, picked up the headphones, and started listening.

Monkey bared his teeth in mockery. “Sea Serpent, do you have weak kidneys? Why are the dark circles under your eyes so obvious.”

Sea Serpent wasn’t annoyed and smiled. “The doctor said I’m anemic.” Hearing the two of them chatting, Baldy put his hand down, indicating that they should stop chatting and get down to business first.

Sea Serpent propped his head on the table with his hands on the table and listened quietly.

Monkey, seeing that he had no more business with them, sat in his chair by the window. Then, he picked up the eight pieces of the apple he had been peeling earlier.

After listening for a while, Sea Serpent put down the headphones and carelessly asked, “What does this mean? Is it a code word?”

Baldy frowned, he was already bald but when he frowned, it looked like an extra layer of lines on a briny egg. “I’ve got no idea. If he was using it as a code the first time he mentioned (Virtual Space], what did the second one mean? He also mentioned ‘you guys’ which means there were others besides him and the woman. I’m pretty sure there are more one or more other people living there.”

“And what were those ‘Bean! Bean! Bean!’ chants in the background? Is it a code word?”

Sea Serpent closed his eyes, his face all pensive. Baldy looked at him for a minute. Soon two minutes passed…

Just when Baldy thought he was asleep, Sea Serpent said, “Maybe he’s an actor. Maybe, he’s memorizing his lines.”

Bald Man was utterly speechless.

Behind him, Monkey lowered his head and continued peeling his apple. “Maybe it’s just as what Sea Serpent said.”

Baldy was speechless. He finally knew why the boss called him out on this mission. With the IQ of the other two, they might have to kill everyone in Shanghai and even then, they wouldn’t be able to find the killer.

He didn’t bother paying attention to the other two as he continued listening to the recording as he wrote down the keywords.

‘Virtual space… You guys… Bean… What do all these things mean? This man must be hiding some sort of secret.’

If it was true, Baldy would get to the bottom of what that secret meant.

Even without considering the bizarre recording, Su Yang was his number one suspect just by virtue of the clues he currently had.

They had been informed that the hand of the security guard in Longteng Jiayuan was broken by an unfamiliar woman. However, regardless if it were official or private investigators, none of them could find any information about the woman, nor did they find a martial artist of that caliber of the opposite gender within Su Yang’s circle.

However, he had found not one, but two!

At this moment, it seemed rather likely that Zhao Xiao’s death was connected to Su Yang.

‘I’ve got to follow this trail myself!’

While Baldy was deep in thought about the problems, Su Yang turned around from the window and didn’t bother making contact with the bug.

Although he said something he shouldn’t have, he could still remedy the situation. However, if he turned off the bug, it would reveal his knowledge about them and things would become even more troublesome.

The priority now was to pretend nothing had happened, paralyze the three investigators, look for them, go through their memories, and see what they were up to. Only then would he make a decision on what he’d do with them based on how much they knew.

Thinking along this line of thought, Su Yang couldn’t care less about asking the little monster beans to clean up the house. So, he quietly took them back to the virtual space and continued enjoying his melon seeds as he plotted in his mind.

After some time, the locksmith arrived at Su Yang’s house.

Su Yang stood up, and all the melon seeds disappeared along with the popcorn. He got up to open the door for the locksmith and patiently waited as the lock got changed.

After getting a new lock, Su Yang took out his cell phone and sent a message to Little Deeny. Then, Su Yang picked up his phone and dialed a number. “Are you free tonight? I wanted to talk to you about the earlier matter.”

Pool’s voice was heard from the other side of the phone, “I’m free.”

Su Yang replied, “Alright then, we’ll meet at 11:00 p.m. at the small park next to our neighborhood. See you soon.”

After saying that, Su Yang hung up the phone. This was the scheme he came up with. Since he had accidentally exposed something, he might as well take the initiative to expose some new problems and draw the snake out of the hole. As long as those three people showed their faces, then he could catch them even if he had to break a few fingers!

‘Let’s see if they fall for it!

Su Yang’s eyes exposed a glint of fierceness.

All of Su Yang’s words were of course clearly overheard by Baldy.

He muttered to himself, “What previous matter?”

He thought to himself. There’s something really wrong with this Su Yang.

‘Whatever was he talking about when he mentioned ‘previous matter’?

‘Should I go and spy on him myself tonight to see who he’s meeting with secretly?’

In the evening, Su Yang came to the small park ‘as promised’.

Su Yang had many memories in the small park. Some of them were with Chu Xia and others were with Pan Zhaodi. Now that he’s come here again, his mood was completely different.

At 10:50 p.m., no one was watching him.

At 11:00 p.m., Janet, disguised in a black robe, went to the flower bed, standing opposite Su Yang as she spoke to him.

At 11:10 p.m., there was nothing unusual and (Heaven’s Eyes] hadn’t prompted him.

At 11:20 p.m., Su Yang and Janet had nothing to talk about. After all, Janet was too cold.

At 11:30 p.m., (Heaven’s Eye] suddenly activated just as Su Yang thought the other party wouldn’t fall for it. He noticed someone looking at him. A bald man was standing in front of a glass window as he observed him…
