Chapter 1320
The Retired Heavenly Secrets Group
The sight inside the room made Luo Fei's eyes widen in horror!
The assassin in black was seen gripping a handsome young man's neck tightly with one hand, pinning him against the wall! The young man's face was bluish-purple, and his legs were flailing helplessly in the air.
In the corner of the room, a middle-aged woman lay in a pool of blood with a dagger stuck in her chest, her fate unknown.
"stop!"
Luo Fei let out a thunderous roar, his figure moving like lightning, instantly crossing the distance of the doorway. A palm strike containing [God-level power] landed without any fancy moves, aiming for the black-clad assassin's back!
The assassin in black reacted extremely quickly. Sensing the terrifying gust of wind coming from behind, he had no choice but to release his grip on Zeng Yuanchen's hand, turn around abruptly, and hastily strike out with his own palm, attempting to block the attack head-on!
"Bang—!!!"
The two palms clashed together, producing a dull, loud sound like the crack of leather being broken!
An irresistible, immense force surged forth from Luo Fei's palm like a tidal wave!
"Crack!"
A clear cracking sound rang out!
"Ugh!"
Sato Junro let out a painful groan, as if he had been hit by a speeding truck, his body flying backward uncontrollably.
With a loud crash, he smashed the wooden table in the center of the room, his right arm bent at an unnatural angle, and he was in excruciating pain!
He was horrified!
How could this guy's strength be so terrifying?! My years of painstaking training in stamina and internal energy are utterly useless against him!
He was filled with regret, realizing he shouldn't have blindly taken that blow!
Luo Fei struck successfully and didn't stop. He reached out to support Zeng Yuanchen, who was swaying and coughing violently. His eyes were cold as he locked onto the fallen man in black, preparing to step forward again and subdue him completely!
However, as a top assassin, Sato Junro possesses exceptional adaptability.
Despite the excruciating pain from his broken right arm, he reached for his waist with his left hand and hurled three gleaming five-pointed shuriken in a triangular formation toward Luo Fei and Jiang Qinqin beside him!
"Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!"
The sound of the dart piercing the air was sharp and ear-piercing!
Luo Fei's eyes narrowed. Holding the weakened Zeng Yuanchen, he suddenly turned his body at an incredible angle to avoid a bullet aimed at his chest!
At the same time, he suddenly tilted his head to the side and opened his mouth like an iron clamp.
With a "click," he precisely caught the second dart aimed at his face with his teeth!
The third dart was aimed directly at Jiang Qinqin, who was standing at the door, still in shock!
"careful!"
Luo Fei let out a low shout, and as he turned to the side and bit the dart, his right leg lashed out like a steel whip!
"clang!"
With a crisp sound, the dart that was aimed at Jiang Qinqin was accurately kicked away by Luo Fei and embedded deeply in the wall next to him!
All of this happened in the blink of an eye!
Taking advantage of the moment Luo Fei blocked the dart, Sato Junro took a deep breath, his figure leaping backward like a ghost, smashing through the window glass of the room, and jumping directly from the sixth floor!
"Want to run?!"
Luo Fei pushed Zeng Yuanchen toward Jiang Qinqin.
"Take care of him!"
He then flashed to the window.
The roof of the SUV that was parked downstairs had been smashed open, leaving a shockingly large dent, as if it had been hit by a heavy hammer.
The figure of the assassin in black had vanished, clearly having used the explosion to create chaos and escape.
Luo Fei's cold gaze swept over the chaotic scene downstairs, then he decisively turned and went back inside. It was too late to chase after them now; ensuring the safety of the survivors was more important.
Inside the room, Zeng Yuanchen was lying beside his mother, Wu Ting, his body trembling violently with fear and grief.
Wu Ting had the Japanese dagger stuck in her chest, her face was pale, and her breathing was weak, but fortunately, the blade seemed to have missed her heart, so although the injury was serious, it was not immediately fatal.
"Mom...Mom, hang in there..."
Zeng Yuanchen's voice was choked with sobs as he pressed his hands tightly against the clothes around his mother's wound, trying to slow the bleeding.
Call 120! Quickly!
Luo Fei shouted at Jiang Qinqin, who was standing at the door with a pale face.
Jiang Qinqin snapped out of her daze, frantically pulled out her phone, and dialed the emergency number with trembling fingers. She quickly explained the address and her injuries to the operator.
Luo Fei crouched down, checked Wu Ting's condition, and said in a deep voice.
"The wound avoided vital organs, there's still hope. Yuan Chen, hold on tight and don't let go, keep the pressure on."
Zeng Yuanchen nodded vigorously, clenching his teeth, trying to calm himself down.
Half an hour later, outside the emergency room of a hospital in Chengdu, the red light went out. The doctor came out and informed them that Wu Ting was out of danger, but needed to be hospitalized for observation and treatment.
Zeng Yuanchen's tense nerves finally relaxed a little. He sat silently in front of his mother's sickbed, holding her cold hand, his eyes filled with a heaviness that did not match his age.
Luo Fei looked at the boy who had just experienced a dramatic change in his family and sighed inwardly.
He walked to the bedside and spoke in as calm a tone as possible.
“Yuan Chen, there’s something I must tell you. Your father… Mr. Zeng Liguo, was also murdered this morning.”
Zeng Yuanchen's body trembled violently. He looked up at Luo Fei, his eyes instantly reddening. He forced himself not to let the tears fall, but nodded forcefully and squeezed out a few words.
"I... guessed it."
This composure beyond his years stirred something within Luo Fei.
He contacted the "Night Watchmen" of the Divine Bow Bureau and learned that the other fifteen "super second-generation" on the list had arrived at the No. 7 Special Training Center in the western suburbs of Kyoto to report for duty, as instructed. Only Zeng Yuanchen had been out of contact.
Luo Fei looked at Zeng Yuanchen and extended an olive branch directly.
“Yuan Chen, we know about your situation and your father’s. Now there is an opportunity for you to join the National Security Bureau and become a new member of the ‘Tianji Group’.”
This is not only to give you and your parents an explanation, but also to use your abilities to protect more people who need protection.
Zeng Yuanchen remained silent and did not answer immediately.
Luo Fei continued.
"After officially joining, you will become a special staff member within the National Security system, enjoying the corresponding salary and benefits. Initially, your monthly salary will start at 20,000 yuan, with additional high subsidies and bonuses for performing tasks."
Your mother will receive the maximum social insurance and housing fund contributions, and her immediate family members will enjoy priority access to internal medical resources. The organization will be responsible for arranging your mother's subsequent treatment and rehabilitation.
Upon hearing about the treatment guarantee for his mother, Zeng Yuanchen's eyes finally showed a slight change.
He glanced at his mother, who was unconscious on the hospital bed, then looked at Luo Fei, his voice hoarse but firm.
"I'm joining."
But... could you wait until my mother's condition stabilizes a bit before leaving?
"I can give you one day." Luo Fei gave a clear deadline.
"We'll depart for Kyoto at this time tomorrow. I'll arrange for my colleagues at the local National Security Bureau to handle your father's funeral arrangements. They will treat it as a 'death in the line of duty' and provide appropriate compensation."
As for your mother, she will be protected 24 hours a day during her recovery, so you can rest assured.
Zeng Yuanchen nodded heavily.
"Thank you... Director Luo."
That evening, Luo Fei and Jiang Qinqin also stayed at the hospital, partly to ensure the absolute safety of Zeng Yuanchen and his mother and to prevent the killer from returning.
On the other hand, it also provides some support for this teenager who has just lost his father and whose mother is seriously injured.
The following day, Wu Ting's condition stabilized further.
Under Luo Fei's arrangement, Zeng Yuanchen said a brief goodbye to his mother and then followed Luo Fei and Jiang Qinqin onto the conspicuous red private plane, flying directly to Kyoto.
On the plane, Luo Fei had already made a series of deployments through encrypted communication.
He ordered his "Ghost" squad to select elite members to provide close security for Jiang Qinqin during her stay in Beijing.
Meanwhile, apart from Chen Xuanran, who was experiencing inconvenience due to her pregnancy, core members of the special task force, including Chen Fan, Wu Peixiong, Zhou Xiaobei, and Wang Feifei, were required to end all field missions and immediately return to the Kyoto headquarters to await orders.
Just as Luo Fei and his group were en route to Kyoto, two shocking murders occurred almost simultaneously, and the news was quickly relayed to the National Security Bureau headquarters through encrypted channels.
In Shangjing City, there is a "Zhenhua Boxing Gym" known for its rigorous training and numerous top-level fighters.
A stranger claiming to be a challenger engaged in a fierce battle with the gym owner—a former member of the Heavenly Secrets Group whose strength was comparable to that of a world-class boxing champion—on the ring in full view of everyone.
However, the battle was decided in just three minutes. The gym leader's heart meridian was shattered by his opponent's bizarre power, and he died on the spot. The stranger then calmly left under the horrified gazes of the students.
At almost the same time, in the office of the owner of a large real estate company in Dongguan City.
The company boss, also a former member of the flight crew, was among the top fighters in the team back then. Yet, he was found with a long knife piercing his chest, pinned to his chair, and dead on the spot. No valuable clues were left at the scene.
Two former members of the Sky Team, both possessing exceptional combat skills, were precisely murdered by unidentified individuals in different cities on the same day!
As soon as the plane landed, Luo Fei's encrypted communicator rang urgently.
He glanced at the message, his expression instantly turning serious. He quickly told Jiang Qinqin and Zeng Yuanchen, "Someone will make arrangements for you," and then strode out of the airport. The National Security Agency's special car, which had been waiting, took him directly to the National Security Agency headquarters.
Luo Fei went straight to Lei Wanting's office and entered without even waiting for his secretary to announce him. Inside, Lei Wanting was holding a red secure phone and speaking solemnly with his superior.
"...Yes, Commander, the situation is basically clear. Preliminary assessment indicates that the recent killings of several members of my former crew were committed by superhumans from Japan."
Of course, the possibility that superhumans from other countries might impersonate him to frame him cannot be ruled out.
However, regardless of the circumstances, the other party's blatant violation of the "Global Treaty on the Management of Supernatural Abilities," illegal entry, and assassination attempt constitute a serious provocation against our country's sovereignty and security! The nature of this act is extremely egregious!
Lei Wanting's voice was filled with suppressed anger. He listened to the instructions on the other end of the phone and nodded repeatedly.
"Understood! We will find out the truth as soon as possible and resolutely strike at the enemy's arrogance! Please rest assured, Commander!"
After hanging up the phone, Lei Wanting took a deep breath, looked at Luo Fei, and pointed to the chair opposite him.
"Sit down. You know what's going on?"
Luo Fei sat down and began to report on his experiences in Chengdu.
"Director, when I was protecting Zeng Yuanchen, a target in Chengdu, I had a direct confrontation with the men in black who attacked him."
This person is extremely strong; he escaped from my grasp and even withstood a blow from my palm.
Lei Wanting's eyes narrowed.
What was the result?
"He fractured his right arm, but still jumped from the sixth floor without much impairment to his mobility and escaped safely."
Luo Fei spoke calmly, but the content made Lei Wanting frown.
"The opponent's movement techniques, weapons, and fighting style all bear obvious characteristics of Japanese ninjas. Considering his actions against the Zeng family father and son, I judge that there is an over 80% chance that this person is a Japanese superhuman."
"Eighty percent...that's enough!"
Lei Wanting slammed his hand on the table, stood up, and paced around the office.
"That makes sense! The people who attacked Zeng Yuanchen, caused the plane crash, and killed our veteran team members in Beijing and Dongguan are very likely the same group!"
This is an organized and planned act of tearing up the treaty; they've bared their fangs at us!
He stopped and looked at Luo Fei, his gaze as sharp as a hawk's.
"Luo Fei, do you realize the seriousness of the problem?"
Those bastards, not only did they dare to do it, they actually managed to do it!
This exposes two key problems!
Luo Fei said in a deep voice.
"First, they have a very thorough understanding of our situation as superhumans, including information about retired former members of the Sky Machine crew and their families. We are almost transparent to them."
Secondly, their superhuman abilities, or at least their elite combat power, likely surpass our current strength.
"That's right!"
Lei Wanting exhaled a heavy breath.
"The Sakura Country is a tiny place, and its normal national strength is far behind that of our Great Xia."
But they have made far-reaching plans and invested unimaginable resources in the field of "superpowers"!
Over the years, their infiltration of us has been pervasive, reaching into government departments, military facilities, geographical and cultural areas, and even potentially placing their people in schools! What we know and have seen is probably just the tip of the iceberg.
Lei Wanting stood with his back to Luo Fei, gazing out the window at the bustling Kyoto. His voice seemed to come from a great distance, carrying the weight of history.
"This reminds me of the September 18 Incident decades ago. It was the same people, the same undeclared war, the same premeditated provocation! History always repeats itself, only this time, they didn't use the army, but rather more covert and dangerous superhumans!"
He turned around abruptly, his eyes sharp as knives, staring intently at Luo Fei.
"What does it mean that they dare to so brazenly break the treaty and kill our Tianji Group members and business elites like Jiang Tiansheng one after another? It means that they may have super-powerful superhumans as support, which is beyond our imagination!"
They believe they have enough cutting-edge combat power to crush us, which is why they dare to be so arrogant!
His tone carried a hint of barely perceptible regret and heaviness.
"Back then, after that devastating war against superhumans in the United States, although a treaty was signed to maintain a semblance of peace, those above... including myself, were overly concerned about the social unrest and uncontrollable risks that could result from the loss of control over superhuman powers.
