Movie variety show soul travels between two worlds to become a rich man

Chapter 579 The monster that has been dormant for many years has awakened!
At the highway exit on the outskirts of Beijing, the night was as dark as ink. Fang Zhen leaned against the door of a black SUV, the cigarette between his fingers flickering in the darkness. He had just flown back from Paris and received an important secret mission from Director Luo.

Pick up a refrigerated truck and drive it directly to the mysterious Ninth Bureau in the western suburbs. Fang Zhen knew that although the Ninth Bureau had been almost abandoned for the past two or three decades, anything that could be associated with the Ninth Bureau was of great importance.

"Captain, we're already 27 minutes over time." Team member Xiao Zhang checked the time for the third time, his voice very low.

Fang Zhen stubbed out his cigarette and squinted at the highway exit. Three modified SUVs were parked in a triangular formation on the emergency lane, and eight fully armed team members were seemingly scattered around, but in reality, they blocked all possible angles.

"The Ninth Institution," Fang Zhen murmured, savoring the name almost forgotten by time. He'd only heard it mentioned by his old instructor during induction training; he'd been told it was the place that dealt with "things that science couldn't explain."

Suddenly, static crackled through the walkie-talkie: "Captain, target spotted! Slowing down to exit the tollbooth."

Fang Zhen suddenly sat up straight. In the bright light of the exit, he saw a white truck with the words "Xinrong Cold Chain" printed on it slowly driving towards him.

"Guide the car over here." At Fang Zhen's command, two team members immediately stepped forward and made the guiding gesture.

The truck screeched to a halt on the side of the road. As the driver's door opened, the young man who jumped out made Fang Zhen's pupils shrink slightly.

The other person, wearing a black turtleneck jacket, was speaking softly on a satellite phone: "Okay, I understand. After the handover, I'll head back immediately."

"The squadron, is it?" Jiang Zisuan hung up the phone with her brother-in-law, looked at Fang Zhen, and said in a voice as cold as frost in a freezer.

When Fang Zhen showed his ID, he noticed the other person's hands—the knuckles were unusually large, there were calluses on the base of the thumb from holding a gun for a long time, and there were suspicious dark red marks under the fingernails.

Jiang Zisuan didn't stand on ceremony. After carefully checking the documents, he returned them to Fang Zhen and said, "The items are in the refrigerated cabinet. You've handed over the people and the car. Goodbye—"

After saying that, Jiang Zisuan turned around and walked towards an SUV that was following behind him without any hesitation.

"Young man, don't be in such a hurry. Let me take a look at the things first, okay?" Fang Zhen said, somewhat speechless, as the other party was about to leave without saying a word.

Jiang Zisuan stopped and turned to Fang Zhen, saying expressionlessly, "President Gao told me to leave immediately after handing over the items. They're yours now; you can look at them however you like. However, I still suggest finding a secluded place to look at them. Goodbye—"

After saying that, he quickly walked to the black SUV, got in, and drove away.

Fang Zhen's lips twitched a few times as he looked at the refrigerated truck in front of him, his brows furrowing slightly. To be honest, Jiang Zisuan's attitude of abandoning the truck and leaving only made him more curious about what was inside the refrigerated compartment.

"Xiao Zhao, go explain to the driver, then take him to get something to eat and rest. We'll return the car to him later..." Fang Zhen instructed as he walked towards the refrigerated truck. When he reached the back of the truck, his fingers barely touched the container door before he pulled them back.

Well, curiosity killed the cat. Director Luo didn't instruct him to inspect the goods. Since he wasn't instructed to, it's better to avoid having to do anything more.

"Get in, let's go—" After thinking it through, Fang Zhen opened the passenger door of the truck and got in.

As the refrigerated truck was flanked by two SUVs and driven onto the desolate road leading to the western suburbs, Fang Zhen kept checking the refrigerated container through the rearview mirror.

Meanwhile, the chilly night wind of early spring swept through the pine forest of Shuangquan Mountain, whispering softly. Moonlight, fragmented by thick clouds, dappled across the mountain path. Deep in the woods, a long-forgotten two-story building, resembling a school building, stood abruptly, like a ghost lost from the cracks of time.

Its exterior walls are mottled and yellowed, covered with withered ivy, with several patches of plaster peeling off to reveal the grayish-white cement underneath. The roof is covered with faded military green tiles, a few of which are cracked at the eaves and tremble slightly in the wind.

The entire building exudes an eerie sense of incongruity—it should have been an abandoned military camp, but the windows were completely covered by heavy black curtains, as if it were hiding secrets that did not want to be exposed to the light.

However, tonight, for the first time ever, the entire courtyard and buildings were lit up.

The light was so blinding, so out of place with the surrounding darkness, it seemed like a silent declaration—here, awakening has begun.

Downstairs, four heavily armed soldiers stood at the entrance, their figures ramrod straight like statues. Their rifles were slung across their chests, the barrels gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen in the moonlight. One of them occasionally looked up, scanning his surroundings warily.

Downstairs at the lobby entrance, several elderly men with white hair surrounded a bald, middle-aged man, their expressions excited. Their voices were low, but they couldn't hide the excitement and nervousness in their tones.

“It’s been so many years…” one of the scholars, wearing reading glasses, murmured, “Finally, something else has arrived…”

"How is the sample activity?" another person asked eagerly, his old eyes, which should have been dim, now filled with a fervent and bright light.

The bald man, Director Liu, who was in charge of guarding the Ninth Bureau, smiled bitterly, wiping the sweat from his brow. He addressed the experts and scholars who had been relentlessly questioning him, saying, "Gentlemen, please don't make things difficult for me. I genuinely don't know the specifics. The phone call I received only told me it was a three- or four-meter-long mutated taimen, and it seemed to have eaten a human..." "Mutated? Do you know what caused the mutation? Where was it caught? Are there any records of the surrounding environment...?"

"A three- or four-meter-long taimen? According to footage from Kanas Lake, taimen can grow up to 15 meters long and can even eat cows, so it's not surprising that they eat people..."

Listening to the old men chatting away, Director Liu glanced at his watch with a wry smile, wishing the goods would arrive quickly so these precious experts could get busy.

However, Director Liu was also unable to calm down. So many years had passed since the mysterious Tarim Sanatorium was abandoned, and the Ninth Bureau had been completely silent. Although it was still operating, the staffing was pitifully small.

However, the level of secrecy here is too high, so it is basically taken over temporarily by experienced people who are about to retire and are absolutely trusted by the organization. The people who take over are only responsible for the daily management of the above-ground buildings and have no authority to access any documents or enter the underground buildings.

"The car has arrived—"

The car lights appearing on the mountain road excited everyone in the courtyard.

Two guards immediately stood in the middle of the road, raised their hands to signal the car to stop, and two guards behind them had already raised their guns and pointed them at the oncoming car, as if they would not hesitate to shoot if the car made any unusual movements.

Fang Zhen immediately got off the refrigerated truck, took his identification, and walked quickly to the two guards. He saluted and handed the identification to them for inspection.

The guard saluted, took the ID, carefully checked it, saluted again, returned the ID to Fang Zhen, then turned and ran to the gate, opened the large iron gate, and let the car in.

Under the cover of night, the dark waves of the South China Sea undulated in the moonlight, like the breath of some sleeping behemoth. A luxury yacht sliced ​​through the black silk-like surface of the sea, its streamlined white hull like a drawn blade, silently cleaving the surging waves.

The three decks were brightly lit, and in the infinity pool on the main deck, the water swayed with the ship's hull, glowing with a faint blue fluorescence in the night.

"Hehe, you're jealous, huh?"

In the luxurious master bedroom, Gao Dongxu smiled and embraced Su Yan, who had just finished showering and was wearing only a white tight-fitting crop top and black athletic shorts, freely displaying her long, white, slender, and straight legs. He kissed her slightly cool, fair neck and teased her.

A pang of conscience and an irresistible itch in her heart, Su Yan blushed and gently bit her pink lips, saying in a coquettish, trembling voice, "I'm not jealous at all~~~"

"Hehe, still saying no? Your pout is so thick you could hang a kettle on it." Gao Dongxu scolded her for her delicate conscience while chuckling.

"Don't be jealous. She can't compare to you. She's like a wildflower by the roadside. No matter how beautiful she is, you can only pick her to smell and admire her for a while before she withers and is thrown away. You, on the other hand, are my beloved in my flower garden, someone I need to cherish, protect, love, and appreciate with all my heart."

Su Yan's pretty face flushed even more, and she turned around with seductive eyes, wrapping her arms around Gao Dongxu's neck. Their eyes met, and she said in a trembling voice, "If Keke heard what you said, she would be heartbroken... You are such a bad guy."

"Hehe, don't worry, although I'm a bit of a womanizer, I'm definitely not some heartless scumbag. Since I took advantage of her, of course I'll compensate her." Gao Dongxu smiled, leaned forward, and gently kissed Su Yan's red lips, raising an eyebrow and smiling.

"Hmph—" Su Yan snorted, her eyes filled with seductive allure as she asked in a trembling voice, "How is she?"

"I'm really exhausted, I'm sleeping like a log..." Gao Dongxu said with a mischievous grin, mimicking Coco's snoring.

"You're so annoying. You just took over my body, and now you're making fun of my snoring..." Su Yan was amused, but still playfully complained to Gao Dongxu.

"Hehe, there's nothing I can do, I'm just a bad guy." Gao Dongxu chuckled as he kissed Su Yan's red lips.

Su Yan blushed and closed her beautiful eyes, wrapping her arms around his neck and responding tenderly.

"...Wait, go take a shower first..."

"No need—"

"No, be good, listen to me—" Su Yan, with her pretty face flushed and stunning beauty, coaxed Gao Dongxu, who was both amused and exasperated, as if she were a child.

"Okay, but you have to come with me." Gao Dongxu chuckled and pulled up the startled Su Yan, bending down to pick her up in a princess carry. With Su Yan playfully hitting him shyly, he carried her into the bathroom.

At midnight, the luxury yacht sailed into the port of Singapore. After docking, Gao Dongxu and his entourage slept soundly on the yacht, as if they were in a cradle.
