364 Temporary Leader (1/2)
Han Chu did not torture Ye Shuang and Anthony for too long. Even though he was drunk, he still had control over himself unlike most drunkards—he was simply more anal than usual. Therefore, if there was some business, as long as one relied on reason, Han Chu would not be uncooperative due to the alcohol in his body.
With a glass of water down his throat and a brief hour-long nap, he felt much better. When he was no longer feeling that warm, he took a shower. Therefore, when Han Chu stepped out from the shower, the alcohol had mostly left his system, and he barely looked different from normal.
”You planted my bug on your assailant?” As he used the towel to dry his wet hair, Han Chu, who still had moisture clinging around him, walked to sit next to Anthony. He used his chin to point at his bedroom and said, ”Go get my laptop.”
Anthony moved to oblige. He retrieved the laptop and placed it on the coffee table. Without the order from Han Chu, he started to operate it expertly. ”Even though it hasn't been fully modified, I've expanded the signal range, so the receiving sensitivity is much higher than before. However, the disadvantage is that the bug will not be online as long… Hmm, but it should be enough to last until the man returns to his lair. Perhaps we might be able to listen to the man report on the mission.”
”Hmm.” Han Chu lifted his eyes. ”What about the switch? Better make sure it is not discovered at the door.”
”That can be done by closing the power. Just press this button.” Anthony opened the program gleefully. A satellite map of Feng Yuan City appeared on-screen instantly, and a blinking red dot showed the actual location of the bug.
As they continued to zoom in, the exact location of the bug was eventually triangulated on a certain street. The familiar coordinates made Ye Shuang, who had just joined them, gasp in shock. ”Wait, isn't this Luther's villa?” Isn't the man still cosplaying as a princess waiting to be rescued?”
”If I'm not mistaken, hasn't Luther not been rescued yet?” Han Chu also noticed the problem. After a moment's silence, he frowned. ”There can only be two explanations. One, the person who assaulted Tony normally disguises as Luther's bodyguard but actually works for another boss. Two, within Luther's group, there is someone who will be able to take over the organization when Luther is not available… Which do you think is more possible?”
Ye Shuang held the fruit juice and clicked the spying button. She shoved the glass of milk into Anthony's hands. ”There's no need to guess. We'll know once we listen to this.”
Han Chu lifted his eyes to look. Anthony and Ye Shuang were sitting around the screen, one holding a glass of milk, the other holding a fruit juice. They looked at the screen excitedly. Those not in the know would assume that the three of them were catching up on some serial drama.
Soon, a barely clear enough voice came from the computer. The person who had assaulted Anthony seemed to be asking his colleagues about the location of the temporary leader. After knowing that the latter was not resting, he soon went upstairs to report the failure. If that was everything, Han Chu would have thought that it was Luther's second in command who had given the order to assault Anthony.
However, after the assailant finished the report and returned to his room, another question surfaced.
”We failed the retrieve the chip, but for now, we've confirmed whose hands it's in.”
”We're sorry, miss. The opponent is too powerful. He even took down my partner.”
”Of course, the temporary leader will continue to negotiate with Madam Grace. I'll continue looking for an opening…”
