Chapter 1035 - The Bounty Hunters (2/2)

Duanmu Lin’s mind shook and he hurriedly asked, “Can you disclose what product is it?”

“I can only say that it’s a kind of aviation product,” said Tang Xiu with a mystifying smile.

Aviation?

A solemn look appeared on Duanmu Lin’s face. Then, he got up and said, “Let’s arrange the meal in the Bureau and not waste time here, shall we? Let’s hurry up and find the Fan Family clansmen and resolve the matter of borrowing the Subaquatic Corvette.”

Tang Xiu had no choice but to leave with Duanmu Lin after hearing this. Just as the two of them left the restaurant’s entrance, however, Aquababe hurriedly got off from a car nearby and ran toward Duanmu Lin and Tang Xiu. After nodding to the latter, she quickly said, “We have a situation, Chief.”

“What situation?” asked Duanmu Lin.

Aquababe glanced at Tang Xiu and hesitated.

“You don’t need to hide anything from Tang Xiu. He’s also a member of our Special Abilities Bureau. Speak, what is the situation?” ordered Duanmu Lin.

“We just received news that the two fleeing members of the Fan Family appeared in Lianggang City. They took a cab and then killed its driver, whose body was then found in the remote seaside with his taxi. However, we got news from our men who are tracking them that there’s also another group of people chasing them.”

“How is this possible?” Duanmu Lin’s face changed and he quickly said, “Chasing them is the jurisdiction the state has given us, there’s no way other forces can get involved! Is this new group the enemy of Fan Family?”

“The footage showed three people; one old man, and two other–middle-aged men, and a woman. I’ve assigned our bureau’s intel operatives to search the databank for them and they inferred that those people are not Chinese nationals.” Aquababe shook his head.

“Can you find their traces?” asked Duanmu Lin.

“We have yet to find the two members of the Fans. They just disappeared,” said Aquababe. “But we have those three people under surveillance. We may be able to see them if we rush to Lianggang City as fast as possible.”

Duanmu Lin turned to Tang Xiu and asked, “What do you think?”

“Let’s just head there. Also, send some men to bring one Fan family member to Lianggang City,” said Tang Xiu. “It’d be best if we can find those people right away. But if we can’t find them, we still need the Fan family’s blood.”

“We’ll move as such then.” Duanmu Lin nodded and said, “Aquababe, go fetch a member of the Fans and bring him to Lianggang City.”

Lianggang City. It was a coastal city, the southernmost city in the three northern provinces. The rapid development of this place made the city the most prosperous metropolis in the three northern provinces.

North Hamlet Fishery. The establishment was surrounded by hills and beautiful scenery with lakeside stretched far and vast with the sparkling surface under the sunlight. On a certain fishing boat, a conversation using fluent English was heard.

“Master, the tracking disc has shown the direction of those two half-ghouls. They are running toward the Lushunkou region. Are we going after them?” asked the blonde middle-aged man with black sunglasses as he looked at the old man sitting at the opposite side.

The old man shook his head and slowly said, “No. They’ll be back secretly since they’re hiding their corpse container here. They will need the cadaveric qi in that corpse container to be powerful half-ghouls. They will definitely come back here within three days.”

The blonde middle-aged man furrowed his brows and said, “But what if they have more corpse containers and deliberately hide one of it here to confuse us?”

A chilling light flashed across the old man’s eyes before he nodded and said, “It’s possible. But we don’t know much about the cities in China and it will be much worse for us compared to those two half-ghouls. If you follow their tracks with the tracking disc, it’s very easy for us to get rid of them by taking a detour to confuse and appear behind them. We’ve locked them with the tracking device, so, as long as they are not more than 300km away from us in these three days, we can judge their orientation.”

The blonde middle-aged man said, “But we’ll lose their tracks if they go more than 300km away, Master. It won’t be easy to find them again by then.”

“Not really. We’ve determined the direction of their escape. We can immediately track them toward Lushunkou once the tracking devices stop. It’s easy to keep them within the range of 300km with our speed.” The old man sneered.

Whoosh!

A figure flickered lightning-fast from the shore into the fishing boat. A middle-aged female in black leather attire and killing intent on her face reported in a deep voice. “We got company around keeping an eye on us. They should be officials of Chinese authority.”

The old man’s face shifted, but then he sneered. “Heh, we found those two half-ghouls. No need to act reserved if they want to compete with us for the spoils. Those two half-ghouls will fetch a fortune in the black market. There’s no way bounty hunters like us would miss this chance.”
