Soon they found their first target: a middle-aged elementary school teacher with a balding crown. Chen Gu's plan of action was simple and effective, involving him personally launching a surprise attack from the shadows.
If the man was a Professional, he would certainly fight back and reveal himself. If he was just an ordinary person, he wouldn't even realize he had been attacked, and Chen Gu would pull back at the last moment.
Facing the elementary school teacher, Chen Gu stealthily emerged from his hiding place and sharply aimed a finger-strike towards the back of the man's head.
The teacher was walking forward, still contemplating how to explain several difficult problems more clearly, when he suddenly felt a breeze from behind.
He touched the back of his head and felt an instant sense of loss akin to mourning—a handful of hair was in his hand!
Upon further examination, the entire back of his scalp was now smooth and bare...
After his crown had begun to bald, he had become even more protective of the remaining ring of hair. He tried all sorts of methods, hoping to achieve the "grand plan" of letting the surrounding hair encroach upon and eventually conquer the central bald spot.
He never expected this breeze would leave the back of his head bald as well!
Not only had the "encircling campaign" failed, but the central bald spot had successfully broken through...
The teacher felt like crying but had no tears. Of course, there were many ways to cure hair loss in this era, but without exception, they were all very expensive. Gene therapy, for example, was beyond the financial reach of an ordinary teacher.
The team hidden in the shadows all watched Chen Gu with an air of reproach.
Chen Gu was also embarrassed and explained in a low voice, "My mistake, my mistake... At least we can confirm that this is not the person we're looking for."
I didn't even realize my own strength was so formidable that a single finger-strike could sever the target's hair without even making contact...
But Chen Gu genuinely felt a heavy sense of guilt. He decided to use the branch office network to transfer a sum of money to the teacher, enough for him to undergo one round of gene therapy.
"That's a painful loss," Chen Gu lamented. This finger-strike was too expensive!
The second target was an ordinary worker. This time, before making his move, Chen Gu observed him repeatedly from the shadows. He made sure this person had no "delicate issues" to be concerned about before suddenly striking.
Yet this person also sensed nothing. He merely felt a cold draft behind him that made him shiver. Puzzled, he touched the back of his head and looked around, but discovered nothing.
"There's no other way. Let's head to Wangxingjiao City first," Chen Gu said, looking towards Boluo. "You jinx." ᴛʜɪs ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀ ɪs ᴜᴘᴅᴀᴛᴇ ʙʏ novel_fіre.net
Boluo was smug. "It's not my fault; that's just a scientific law at work."
Joseph suggested, "How about we go directly to Wanfulu City?"
Boluo quickly replied, "You still don't grasp the essence of the scientific law I mentioned. If you go to Wangxingjiao City first, then the target will definitely be in Wanfulu City. But if you go to Wanfulu City first, then the target will definitely be in Wangxingjiao City..."
Chen Gu silently asked Big Rabbit, "Is there some kind of ammo that can make certain individuals shut up when they feel like talking?"
Big Rabbit nodded earnestly. "Of course! Just shoot them in a vital spot before they open their mouth. Any kind of ammo can achieve that effect!"
Boluo looked puzzled. "What are you two talking about? What do you mean?"
Chen Gu, resigned, waved his hand. "Forget it. Let's head to Wangxingjiao City first."
When special agents leave their station, they need to report to the branch office. Simultaneously, their current branch office will inform the one at their destination to prevent unnecessary misunderstandings.
Chen Gu smoothly completed the registration with the women in internal affairs and then took everyone on an intra-planetary flight to Wangxingjiao City.
No sooner had the aircraft landed than he received a call from Marcus. "What are you doing in Wangxingjiao City? Management there is very strict right now. Don't cause any trouble!"
Chen Gu was puzzled. "What's happened?"
Marcus said, "It's all because of the trouble you stirred up. During your last mission in the Yingudusi Devil's Pit, you found that mountain-sized pile of remains. The Confederation is organizing manpower to start excavation. I heard our Bureau of Mystic Security is also involved, so there are a lot of special agents around. Anyway, just be careful."
Chen Gu grew more cautious. After about half an hour, he found the third target: an old man who had retired. This man liked to raise birds and enjoyed chatting with elderly ladies.
Chen Gu secretly tested him and confirmed he wasn't their target...
However, as the four of them were retreating, they were nearly stopped by the enthusiastic old ladies. Fortunately, they were all exceptionally strong Professionals. Relying on their superior physical abilities, they finally managed to break free!
Boarding the aircraft to Wanfulu City, even Joseph couldn't help but complain, "Boluo, your mouth is toxic!"
Boluo, however, was smug. "I'm going to publish a paper and name this scientific law the Boluo Law!"
「Three hours later, they arrived in Wanfulu City.」
This was a large city on Empire River Star, slightly bigger than Wuzhaoyin City. It boasted rich nearby mineral deposits, and its economy was far ahead of Wuzhaoyin City's.
In the bustling city, the four reached their target's address.
Then, looking up at the artistic and fashionable building before them, they exchanged glances of disbelief. They all recognized the logo on the building—it was the insignia of a well-known fashion magazine on Empire River Star.
"'Steam Locomotive' is someone in the fashion world?" Dora was somewhat envious. Which girl doesn't want to dress up beautifully all the time?
Chen Gu pulled up the photo of target number four, and they staked out several exits of the building.
It wasn't until the evening rush hour that Joseph suddenly sent a message: "Target spotted! Target spotted!"
They quickly converged and saw a very chic, tall woman with long, straight, snow-white legs, stepping into a fashionable sports car, ready to leave.
Chen Gu and the other two looked at Joseph. "Are you sure you got this right?"
"The information clearly states that this 'Wu Minzhe' is a man..."
Joseph shrugged. "I'm using the Bureau's facial recognition equipment; it can't be wrong. As for why he looks like that... it's not that unusual, you know."
The three were speechless. Boluo glanced at the license plate, memorized it, and then entered it into the system. They quickly discovered Wu Minzhe's destination.
They raced ahead to the location, which turned out to be a restaurant, and lay in wait outside. Soon, they saw Wu Minzhe's car stop at the restaurant's entrance. A man with a handsome brown beard, who had been waiting there, greeted Wu Minzhe cheerfully. He gallantly opened the car door and took Wu Minzhe's hand as he stepped out.
Chen Gu and his companions stifled their laughter, but it was Boluo's malicious tongue that spoke up, "This gentleman is going to be very disappointed tonight, HA HA HA..."
Dora retorted, "How do you know this gentleman doesn't just happen to type?"
"Well..." Boluo wasn't sure and could only say, "Your rabbit is big, everything you say makes sense! OW!"
He had received a steel-rabbit elbow from Dora!
