Shadow Empire

Chapter 523: Godfather [666+4]
The atmosphere inside the police car was depressing. In order to avoid being "tailed", Hunter didn't even drive his own car.

The appearance, color, and license plate number of his car have long been memorized by some people, and it is not a special secret.

As long as we arrange a few people to watch outside the police station, we will definitely see his car coming in and out.

In order to prevent Lance from knowing and discovering this, he changed into a formal police uniform in the utility room on the first floor and put on a wide-brimmed police hat.

When it comes to the rank of police officer or above, the police force does not have so many strict requirements on their dress.

And they can find many reasons not to wear police uniforms, such as contacting informants, collecting intelligence, looking for clues, etc.

In short, they have many ways to reasonably not wear police uniforms, and the freedom that federal people advocate includes freedom of clothing, so this has basically become a rule that is not written into the work manual.

As long as you are of a high enough rank, no one will care whether you wear a police uniform or not.

Hunter, wearing a police uniform and a wide-brimmed police hat with the brim pulled down low, strode open the driver's seat and sat directly in. He was driving today.

He did not tell the others in the car where they were going or what they were going to do, but because he was the director and the others were his confidants, they had no extra thoughts except to obey.

The police car left the parking lot without alarming anyone. Hunter looked at the sneaky people outside the police station through the rearview mirror with a sneer on his face.

Then he started driving around the city. He was not sure if Lance's men were targeting him, so he had to make adequate guarantees for the safety of this operation.

After shaking for half an hour and finding that no one was following him, he drove directly out of the city.

According to the young man's confession, his evidence was hidden in the suburbs and he knew the location.

From the city to the suburbs, the atmosphere in the car was dull. Apart from the sound of people using matches or lighters, there was no extra conversation.

Oh, and there is also the sound of the wind.

The car soon arrived at the abandoned old train station at the edge of the city and stopped.

With the continuous development of Jingang City, the railway line has been constantly adjusted. After a more suitable route appeared, this route and this station were completely abandoned.

A dozen years ago, there were still people docking here, but when the new train station was directly connected to the pier, this place was completely abandoned.

The abandoned train station doesn't look very big, but at this moment it gives people a somewhat eerie feeling.

The empty platform is covered with various plants, and the moss-covered glass on the ceiling also blocks some of the sunlight.

There are plants only where the sunlight stays on the ground.

And those places where the sunlight does not stay and are completely blocked are dead.

The rusty rails and steel-structured stations give people an indescribable feeling. When standing here, one will have an inexplicable sense of time and space confusion.

The young man said that he hid the thing in a biscuit box, which was placed in the drawer of the duty room in the station.

It was only then that Hunter told the people around him the purpose of their operation, "We need to find the duty room, there is a box inside."

“Don’t open it after you find it. Just give it to me. This is our mission this time.”

He looked at the people around him and said, "You are all the people I trust the most. After this is over, I will give you a better future!"

They all nodded. Just like when he turned to Charlie before, a bright future was also their motivation to turn to Hunter.

The group of people dispersed immediately. Hunter didn't know which room the duty room was, so they could only search each room one by one. Fortunately, there were not too many rooms, so it shouldn't take long and they could finish searching them all before noon.

After they entered the station, two young men climbed out of an inconspicuous cement pipe.

"We don't have much time."

One of them was a little nervous, but in fact he didn't need to be nervous at all, because there were other people around him. Even if Hunter rushed out at this time, they had nothing to be afraid of.

But sometimes, being prepared doesn't mean not being nervous, like the first time for a boy or a girl.

They were clearly prepared, but they were still nervous. There was no need for them to be nervous, but they were nervous anyway.

A slightly thin guy walked up to the car, crawled in from under the car, fiddled with it for a while, and then climbed out again.

After confirming again and again that there was no problem, the two found a place to hide.

The station was not big, with only about twenty rooms in total. Hunter and his team soon found an iron box in a room with a microphone.

The box wasn't very heavy, and after shaking it, there was indeed something dangling inside, but it didn't look like there was a bomb.

And it wasn't a thick cookie box, it didn't look very big, at most it could hold a notebook. Hunter was very careful, he stood far away and found something to smash the box open, if there was indeed a notebook inside, then even if he smashed it with a stone, it wouldn't cause any problems.

The box was smashed open, and a notebook indeed appeared inside. Hunter walked over and picked up the notebook, but did not check it immediately because there were some people around him.

He wasn't sure if these people were Lance's men, and he needed a more private environment now.

When people seek a private space in an unfamiliar environment, they are most likely to choose an environment that gives them a sense of security, rather than a room in this gloomy-looking old station.

He led his men back to the car, but instead of letting anyone else get in, he asked them to stand guard around it.

He wanted to see what was written in the notebook in the car.

After making sure that everyone else had dispersed, he opened the first page with great anticipation, and then was stunned.

There was a picture of a clown on it, and the words "Fa Q" were written on it. His brain stopped working for a moment.

He subconsciously flipped the page back, and it was completely blank. This wasn't some fucking account book; it was a fucking trap!
In an instant, his head was covered in sweat. He looked up at the wilderness around him. It seemed that there were things hiding that terrified him everywhere!
He was tricked out, his heart began to pump blood frantically, his face turned red and he felt thirsty, panic dominated his emotions!
He didn't even have time to call his men to get in the car. Even in this extremely brief moment, he thought that these men might be able to help him stop the pursuers if they stayed here!
Without any hesitation, he turned the key, started the car, and then stepped on the accelerator...

The violent explosion instantly made the quiet station "lively", and the shock wave generated by the explosion became the last straw that broke the camel's back for those waste glass.

Large chunks of glass kept falling from the station's ceiling, crushing some plants, but some of it fell onto the open ground and shattered.

The miniature world inside the station was destroyed to pieces in an instant, but the fallen glass would eventually allow more sunlight to shine into the station and give birth to more life!
Several policemen who were standing guard around the car were also knocked down directly by the shock wave. They fell to the ground and looked back in disbelief at the car frame that had turned into waste.

There was no flame, just some smoke, and Hunter had completely disappeared!

Suddenly, several cars drove out from behind the bushes nearby. Some people leaned out of the cars, raised their submachine guns and pulled the triggers at the policemen who were lying on the ground but had not been killed by the explosion.

After several cars circled the scene, they drove away, leaving behind only a destroyed car frame, several bodies, and bullet casings on the ground!

The news of Hunter's death soon reached Lance's ears. He curled his lips and said, "I know. Let's leave it at that."

He put down the phone, but quickly picked it up again, this time calling Blue, "Come to my office."

About five minutes later, Blue appeared outside Lance's office.

"You came quickly, would you like something to drink?", Lance asked.

In fact, Blue has not been home these days. He is staying in a hotel not far away. After he goes back, he can't help but wonder where things are going and whether any accidents will happen.

So he found a place to stay near Lance's office, and Lance just called the hotel front desk.

"No, no, I drank before I came here."

His eyes were filled with desire, expectation, and anxiety. "...How is it going?"

Lance looked at him and spread his hands naturally. "He had an accident and his car exploded. If the forensic technology is very good, there is a high probability that a part of him can be found. As for whether a complete part can be pieced together, I am not sure."

When Chief Blue heard this, he seemed to be unresponsive. After a long while, his eyes regained focus. "I thought... you would have a gunfight, and then a fierce exchange of fire, and eventually you would kill him."

Lance nodded noncommittally, "Others did die from close range shooting, but Hunter was special."

Bruce knew some more details, "What about his family..."

Lance smiled slightly, "They are of no value anymore."

He paused, "Okay, let's not talk about these boring things. Do you have any clothes that look more formal?"

Bruce was a little confused, "Yes..."

"Go and change!"

He didn't even have the courage to ask why, and he ran out of the office. Then twenty minutes later, he appeared in front of Lance wearing a very formal suit.

Lance looked him up and down, walked up to him, helped him straighten his tie, which was not very neat, and said, "I'm taking you to see the mayor."

"Now that Hunter is gone, we should discuss the new director."

Although he already had a premonition, when he actually heard these words, Blue suddenly had an urge to kowtow to Lance!

He clenched his fists and didn't even notice how trembling his voice was!
"it is good!"
