Chapter 484: An Invitation From The Crazy Chef (2/2)
Yang Xingdong shivered, ”Doesn't the Crazy Six Tao Chef approve of me?”
”Your understanding of food is extremely vulgar. You’re not worthy of entering the hall of gourmets. This is the master’s evaluation of you!”
Louis turned to me, a smile rising to his lips. ”This must have come as a surprise. My master has always cherished his reputation. For fear that you might confuse this vulgar man for him, he sent me to clean up this mess. He also has something to say to you, Great Detective Song. The master appreciates your talent. If you don't die in the hands of the man who smells like copper, you’ll be invited to attend the Six Tao Banquet on March 3rd of next year. Only those who are appreciated by the master will have the opportunity to attend. I hope you’ll grace us with your presence.”
With one hand on his chest, Louis made a respectful salute, while his other hand remained tightly wrapped around the hilt of the dagger.
The unexpected developments left me at a loss for words. Never in my wildest imaginations would I have anticipated a situation where a criminal sends one of his lackeys to clean up the mess left by his imposter.
Louis returned his attention to Yang Xingdong, his expression taking on a gloomy undertone. ”And as for you... Despite the fact that you’re trash, you’re not entirely useless. The master would like to taste a part of you.”
With that, Louis ruthlessly embedded the dagger into Yang Xingdong's abdomen and carved out a bloody liver that was still beating from within.
”Thank you for the liver!”
Throwing the dagger aside, Louis pulled out a piece of paper and carefully wrapped the liver. Before leaving, he tossed a small bottle in Song Xingchen’s direction and instructed, ”This is the antidote. Just give them a whiff of it.”
At this point, the laser beam aimed at our heads disappeared.
”Catch him!” ordered Xiaotao.
”Nevermind!” I sighed helplessly. ”Let him go. We’ll have another chance in the future.”
A sudden burst of laughter reverberated around the room. Yang Xingdong, whose abdomen was cut open and internal organs exposed, stretched out his bloody hands and kneeled at Louis’s feet. ”Please let the Crazy Six Tao Chef know that it is my honor to be eaten by him. Hahaha, I will be integrated with the Crazy Chef. My humble self will live on eternally.”
Xiaotao and I glanced at each other in consternation. I had never come across such a fanatical admirer in my life.
Although Yang Xingdong was sent to the hospital half an hour later, he soon died from ineffective treatment. Even in death, his lips remained frozen in a contented smile. This was a man so crazy that insanity had seeped into his bones.
At about six in the evening, the members of the special team were gathered in the conference room, the air heavy with gloom. Although the events that transpired during the day put a damper on our enthusiasm, we weren’t idle at all.
The police put out an arrest warrant for Mr. Mu. Meanwhile, the driver who transported the bodies for the club was arrested and the identification of the victims was still ongoing. Additionally, Wang Yuanchao found the real Louis Liu bound in a room in an airport hotel.
Louis was a Chinese-American who couldn't speak a lick of Chinese. After being rescued, the first words he uttered were, ”What the fuck!” I had to admit, my impression of the FBI was greatly impacted.
”Who would’ve thought!” Xiaotao shook her head wryly. ”The Dog Trainer, the Infernal Bone Trader, and now the Crazy Six Tao Chef. The big players of the organization are being delivered to us like a gift pack!”
”There may be another four. It seems these people have their own characteristics. When the man said, ‘If I didn't die at the hands of the man who smells like copper,' he probably meant the Infernal Bone Trader. Looks like their division of labor is very clear. At present, it’s not the Crazy Six Tao Chef’s turn to deal with us yet.”
“Thinking of what we’re about to face, I can’t help but feel afraid!” Xiaotao's words had us staring in disbelief. How could our team leader voice such a dismaying thought?
However, Xiaotao opened her sparkling eyes and clenched her fists, ”But, at the same time, I’m filled with energy. When I think of going up against such an opponent, my blood boils with excitement!”
”Yes,” I nodded. “No matter how they embellish themselves, they’re just criminals who will end up being arrested by the police.”
Rising to her feet, Xiaotao held out a hand. The rest of us huddled together, folding our hands on top of hers. ”We can do it!” she shouted.
