Chapter 525 - GOD IS ON HER SIDE (1/2)

”He didn't. He said that we would find out after coming here. Did something happen?”

Chief Li disclosed, ”Noah and his team members were attacked last night. Two of them were injured and were sent to a secret hospital for treatment. Others went on hiding.”

Han Luo was surprised. 'Why didn't I notice anything when Noah called me? His voice was so natural. He kept everything a secret.'

”Why all of a sudden?” she inquired.

”Yesterday, when the attack took place, the drug dealers already found out who was working to take them down. They got Noah's identity and tried to eliminate them all.”

After a pause, Chief Li continued, ”Even the higher-ups are bugging me to give this drug case to another team.”

”So, they want a corrupt team to take the lead. This won't get anywhere if that happens.” Han Luo clenched her fists. ”Are… they all right? Noah's team I mean.”

Chief Li answered, ”Yes, apparently they are pissed off and working their butt off to take down the criminals.”

He added, ”There is something else I want to share. In the morning, the Prime Minister called me and gave me a piece of grave news. His son is drug-addicted. It's the same drug we are looking for.”

Han Luo and Tang Yujin were startled.

Tang Yujin already started calculating in his head.

'Although I thought upper levels are getting addicted, I didn't think Prime Minister's son would be one of them. No, I should have thought that way. He may not be the head of a country, but he has a good connection in the rich kids' circle. This is bad. Just how many people are addicted in China right now?'

Chief Li observed his reaction and was satisfied.

”I see you can picture the whole scenario. After Officer Zheng's death, the drug spread all over the country and there is no stopping it.

”The only reason the Prime Minister asked for my help is because the media is about to find out about his son's wrongdoings. The Prime Minister cannot take the risk because he has an election next month.”

Han Luo felt a bitter taste in her mouth. The food didn't taste delicious anymore.

”So, he needs a good incident to back him up for the upcoming election. How selfish of him.”

Chief Li chuckled. ”I'm asking you on his behalf to help us. You also want the criminals to be punished, right?”

He shoved two white envelopes toward them.

”I only want to punish my mother's actual murderer. Nothing more.”

Han Luo's answer was sharp. She put down her chopsticks and took one of the envelopes.

Inside the envelope, she found a golden-colored ticket.

It was an invitation card to join an evening party in the Han Family's Main House, Shanghai.

'I cannot believe that what I wished for came to me for free without me looking for it. Even God is by my side.'

Han Luo pressed the ticket tightly as she read what was written on the ticket.

Chief Li gave them a short briefing.

”The party is tonight. You will be taken to a secret hideout of the Prime Minister. His son and his girlfriend are there. Noah and his team are waiting for you there as well.

”You will go to the party on behalf of the Prime Minister's son and his girlfriend. In the hideout, you will disguise yourself and then you will be taken to Shanghai from there. The Prime Minister has already managed a helicopter for you.”

”But why us?” Tang Yujin asked him. ”Why don't you ask trained officers or detectives. I'm sure they will do better than us.”

”That's because you know all the nooks and crannies of that mansion. That house is huge. I cannot send a pair who knows nothing and come out empty-handed. We don't have enough time to delay.”

Chief Li's response was reasonable. Han Luo and Tang Yujin agreed to work with him.

”I'm nervous.” Han Luo touched her bosom.

Tang Yujin gently patted her back.
