I write obituaries for the gods

When Zuo Xia met Jiang Zhengge's smiling face, his expression became even more unpleasant.

"So..." he said through gritted teeth, "the Bureau of Investigation and the Foundation are working together to target me?"

“That’s an exaggeration, brother,” Jiang Zhengge quickly waved his hand. “First, I will not cooperate with the Foundation’s lackeys, not even a beautiful lackey like Xileina Boswell; second, you don’t have the power to make us unite against you.”

tide Leina glared resentfully at Jiang Zhengge, then smiled and looked at Zuo Xia:

"Don't overthink it, Director Zuo. We're just here for the carnival. Who wants to mess with you?"

"Don't try to fool me," Zuo Xia said in a low voice. "I'm warning you, don't be foolish enough to start a fight here. There are people in this banquet hall that even the Foundation can't afford to mess with. Otherwise, why do you think I would dare to show my face?"

"Alright, alright, you have power and influence, I won't fool you."

Jiang Zhengge quickly waved his hand and turned to look at Lin Chen not far away.

"Hey, waiter, come here." He waved.

Lin Chen carried the plate to Jiang Zhengge's side, gently turned it so that the cup filled with a large amount of laxative was facing Jiang Zhengge directly.

Jiang Zhengge picked up the glass of wine and handed it to Zuo Xia with a smile:

"Things didn't go well before. Since we're here today, why don't we have a good talk as...friends?"

Zuo Xia hesitated for a moment when he saw the wine Jiang Zhengge handed him, but finally accepted the glass.

He brought the glass to his lips, about to drink, but then moved it away.

"What do you want to talk to me about?" Zuo Xia frowned.

“You must know some of the inside information about the foundation, right?” Jiang Zhengge shrugged. “Cooperate with the Investigation Bureau and expose their secrets to us. The Investigation Bureau can protect you.”

"You really don't take me seriously?" tide Lena muttered.

"Didn't you say you weren't involved in company business?" Jiang Zhengge glanced at the girl.

“Don’t treat me like a fool,” Left Shrimp said in a low voice. “If I don’t tell those secrets, I might be able to escape in a sorry state. But if I do tell them, do you think I’ll even be able to leave Waldaff?”

"What a smart man," Jiang Zhengge exclaimed. "Fine, forget it then, let's just drink and chat instead."

After saying that, Jiang Zhengge raised his wine glass towards Zuo Xia.

Seeing Jiang Zhengge raise his wine glass, Zuo Xia also raised his glass and brought it to his lips.

He thought for a moment, then finally put the glass back on the table and shook his head.

"No, I won't drink. I need to clear my head."

Then, he casually picked up a slice of apple from the fruit plate next to him and put it in his mouth.

Jiang Zhengge's gaze shifted slightly, looking at Lin Chen who was walking away into the distance: the fruit plate with laxative in it had disappeared.

"Are you afraid I'll poison you?" Jiang Zhengge teased.

“Even children know not to drink beverages given by strangers,” Zuo Xia smiled. “Especially when I’m being watched by so many eyes, who knows if the drink is poisoned?”

"Very good at counter-surveillance," Jiang Zhengge gave a thumbs up. "Good, may you live forever."

Jiang Zhengge ignored tide Leina, who wanted to clink glasses with him, and drank the liquid in his glass in one gulp. Then he looked at Zuo Xia across from him with a smile.

At this moment, Zuo Xia's face had turned pale, and his legs had begun to tremble.

"What's wrong, Director Zuo?" Jiang Zhengge asked knowingly. "You shouldn't be this scared, right? I already said, today we're not..."

"Excuse me, I'm going to the restroom," Zuo Xia said tremblingly.

He turned around and, with the utmost composure, walked through the crowd toward the exit of the banquet hall.

“The target’s taken the bait,” Louis said through gritted teeth. “He’s… heading to the toilet, damn it, it brings back bad memories.”

"Relax, the days of being unable to leave the washroom within a ten-meter radius are over," Lin Chen said softly.

At this moment, Lin Chen was already standing at the door of the employee elevator.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened, and Lin Chen stepped into the elevator and pressed the button for the 38th floor.

He pulled out his pistol, removed the magazine containing rubber bullets, and replaced it with live ammunition.

Immediately afterwards, he took out a black mask and a pair of sunglasses and put them on.

"Ding!"

The elevator doors opened, and Lin Chen quickly walked through the corridor to the door of room 3812.

He glanced at the camera beside him and said softly:

"Louis".

"drop."

With remote control enabled, room 3812 was unlocked.

Lin Chen pushed open the door and entered the room.

Next, we just need to wait and see.

......

Chapter 76 They've arrived

"It's been five minutes already. Does it really take that long to get to the restroom?"

tide Lena glanced at the baby's breath on her wrist and frowned slightly.

Jiang Zhengge glanced at it as well, then shrugged.

"It seems he escaped. My mission has failed. I'll head back now."

After saying that, Jiang Zhengge turned to leave.

He had only taken two steps when a small, cold hand grabbed his wrist.

"Old Jiang."

Jiang Zhengge turned around and looked at tide Leina.

He saw a hint of pleading in the girl's eyes.

“Come with me,” Xileina said softly. “The Foundation will soon change the world, and that’s beyond our control.”

Jiang Zhengge and tide Leina looked at each other, and this time, he did not shake off her hand.

"Let it go, tide Leina," Jiang Zhengge said softly.

tide Leina didn't seem surprised by Jiang Zhengge's answer. She looked at the man in front of her quietly, her deep blue eyes reflecting the dazzling lights of the carnival.

After a long silence, she let go of his hand.

"Be careful." Her tone was much calmer.

Jiang Zhengge chuckled, turned his head, and prepared to cooperate with Lin Chen in his actions.

Just then, applause came from the side:

"Oh...oh...Section Chief Jiang, getting close to her again? Still haven't given up on your wicked intentions?"

Upon hearing this voice, Jiang Zhengge closed his eyes.

"Damn it," he muttered under his breath.

Jiang Zhengge turned his head and saw a guard in a suit and sunglasses walking towards him.

This is a mercenary from a black market website.

More importantly, Jiang Zhengge knew him.

"Wu Hao," Jiang Zhengge said calmly, "whose dog are you today?"

The mercenary took off his sunglasses, revealing a pair of clearly prosthetic mechanical eyes.

“Anyway, I’m not your dog anymore,” Wu Hao squinted. “When I was working for you, I didn’t earn as much as I do now.”

"Money really does make people vulgar..." Jiang Zhengge put his hands in his pockets and smiled disdainfully, "Now you're even willing to wear the foundation's dog leash..."

“That’s still better than the Investigation Bureau’s dog leash,” Wu Hao glanced at tide Leina beside him, “but I really didn’t expect you to stand with this traitor and talk to him…”

"..."

"Who is this again? Why does the section chief run into an acquaintance every few steps?"

Li Zhanyi looked at the mercenaries through the sniper scope, his expression puzzled.

“This guy… I’ll look into it…” Louis said.

A few seconds later, Louis found the file:

"Wu Hao...this guy used to be in the rapid response department."

"A senior from Section One?" Li Zhanyi was somewhat surprised. "Then why did you become a mercenary on the black market? That line of work is extremely expensive..."

“No more detailed information can be found,” Louis said. “The last mission recorded in his file was ‘Deep-Sea Diving Operation,’ after which he left the Bureau of Investigation…”

"..."

"In that operation, she killed four Section 1 investigators, fifteen Section 2 investigators, and thirty-six crew members who were on standby on the ship."

Wu Hao stared at Jiang Zhengge and squeezed out his question, word by word.

"Now, she stands here, glamorous and beautiful, and you pretend nothing happened... just like the Bureau of Investigation back then."

"Come on," Jiang Zhengge said calmly. "If you really wanted to seek justice for your comrades, you wouldn't have ended up making a living on the black market. You've done a lot of dirty work these past few years, do you think I don't know?"

As he spoke, Jiang Zhengge made several hand gestures toward the French windows.

"The section chief told us to act on our own," Li Zhanyi said softly. "Lin Chen, how are things on your end?"

"Ready in position."

Li Zhanyi once again targeted room 3812: the curtains in the room were drawn open, and Lin Chen stood at the window, waving.

“Watch out, the left shrimp is approaching the room,” Louis’s voice came through. “Stay hidden.”

"receive."

Lin Chen lay down and looked through the edge of the bed at the long corridor in the distance.

With a "beep", the door opened.

"Fuck...fuck...these damn white pigs...fuck..."

Zuo Xia rushed into the porch, pushed open the door to the washroom, and plunged inside.

Then a whole host of indescribable sounds came from inside.

"..."

Lin Chen pressed the earpiece and whispered:

"Louis, lock the door."

"It's all done."

So Lin Chen waited quietly.

About ten minutes later, the sound of flushing water came from the bathroom. Looking exhausted, Zuo Xia pushed open the door and walked to the bedside.

He cursed as he changed his pants, completely unaware that Lin Chen was slowly rising behind him—

"Don't move."

The moment the muffler was pressed against the back of his head, Zuo Xia's body stiffened.

He trembled slightly, then let out a groan:

"I knew it... you guys were targeting me..."

"Give me the key to the 'ideal state'," Lin Chen said softly. "Don't make any rash moves, Zuo Dao. I've obtained the kill permission."

"You can't kill me!" Zuo Xia's face turned ferocious.

The next second, many things happened simultaneously:

A door appeared out of thin air and opened, and a figure in a suit and leather shoes stepped into the room, pointing a gun at Lin Chen.

A bullet ripped open the French windows, flew into the room amidst the cacophony of torrential rain and thunder, and shattered the solid head.

Lin Chen used his trench coat to block the bullets fired from the body, and taking advantage of this opportunity, Zuo Xia rushed towards the door, preparing to escape.
