Chapter 5 Snake Eyes, Named, Heavenly Net and Earthly Trap: Even Stars Really Left Behind...

The Level 3 wanted criminal who is about to be escorted to the Enforcement Bureau is a mid-level leader of the Kangming Group, the largest gray force in L City, known in the underground as Snake Eyes.

Although Snake Eyes was somewhat mediocre in his "career," he lived a comfortable life overall, never lacking in good food and drink.

However, just a few days ago, he actually went to the local Second Trial Bureau in broad daylight to turn himself in.

"Although it's not entirely accurate to say that, if I were in Snake Eyes' position, I would rather commit suicide than turn myself in," Mu Wangzhuo said, pursing his lips.

Yuan Jianxing agrees with Mu Wangzhuo's viewpoint.

Although they were in charge of different cities, the General Bureau of Adjudication would occasionally receive mission assistance requests from the Second Bureau, so Yuan Jianxing and Mu Wangzhuo knew a little about the situation in L City and the Kangming Group.

The Kangming Group sounds like a legitimate company, and even has leading companies in different industries, but in reality, it still follows a relatively primitive business model of exchanging resources and relationships, exploiting loopholes.

Primitive revenue-generating methods can lead to primitive, somewhat feudal, and even shady operating systems.

And these snake eyes belong to the group that can't be seen by others.

Engaging in this profession is like adding ink to a clear pool of water; once you take that first step, it's hard to turn back. Usually, you're pushed deeper and deeper by various factors, ending up on a single path.

Of course, some people have successfully escaped the quagmire, but the price they pay is often very heavy.

At best, it could result in broken arms or legs; at worst, it could lead to the destruction of a family and death.

Ironically, the Cummins Group handled these matters with remarkable skill, leaving the executives with no reason to bring the real culprits to justice.

But to everyone's surprise, Snake Eyes, who came to surrender, did not show any remorse or repentance. Not only did he refuse to disclose any details about the illegal business operations of the Kangming Group, but he also arrogantly demanded that the enforcement bureau guarantee his safety.

At the same time, he specifically requested to see a person by name, and shamelessly said:

“This matter is complicated, and I won’t say a word if anyone else takes it on besides him.”

The person Snake Eyes named was none other than Hara Misaki of the Executive Headquarters.

At this point in his recollection, Mu Wangzhuo asked Yuan Jianxing, "Have you ever met Snake Eyes?"

Yuan Jianxing shook his head. "At least in my memory, never."

He himself was somewhat surprised by this when he received the assignment and browsed the relevant content.

Recommendations from peers are common, but appointments from enemies are rare.

Highly suspicious.

The Second Trial Bureau also held the same view, so they initially ignored Snake Eyes's nonsensical argument and naturally did not notify the Trial Bureau Headquarters or Yuan Jianxing, who was handpicked by Snake Eyes.

After all, no one knew whether Snake Eyes was genuinely reformed and surrendered or whether it was bait set up by the Kangming Group, so they simply locked Snake Eyes up in jail and decided to avoid seeing him.

However, several subsequent cases that defied common sense and ultimately benefited the Kangming Group prompted the Second Adjudication Division to bring the issue of snake eyes back to the forefront.

No matter how the Second Trial Division tried to interrogate him, Snake Eyes refused to say a word, repeatedly stating, "I won't speak to anyone else who takes over, except him."

At this point, the Second Trial Bureau finally realized that Snake Eyes was serious when he said that, so they contacted the Trial Bureau and planned this escort operation.

Mu Wangzhuo did not ask why it was the Second Arbitration Bureau that sent Snake Eye over, instead of Yuan Jianxing going there himself.

Despite the fact that the adjudication bureau may appear to be an impenetrable fortress from the outside, it is rife with various factions and powerful groups operating within it.

The saying goes, "Wherever there are people, there is a world of its own," and this saying is timeless.

"However, since it's an escort mission, why not just use official armed escort vehicles instead of going through the extra step of a 'freight truck'?" Mu Wangzhuo wondered.

Yuan Jianxing explained, "By using a two-pronged approach, we can achieve a saturated, deceptive escort effect, preventing the Kangming Group or anyone else from causing any 'unexpected incidents' along the way."

Recalling the utterly unscrupulous actions of the Kangming Group that he had witnessed in other cases, Mu Wangzhuo said with a sense of unease, "...That makes sense."

Just then, his phone vibrated in his pocket.

Mu Wangzhuo took out his phone and saw a message that read "Three sets of A17 and A08 are ready" prominently displayed in the center of the screen.

Exactly five minutes had passed since he and Yuan Jianxing left the room.

Mu Wangzhuo raised his chin at Yuan Jianxing and asked, "Can we leave now?"

"Mm." Yuan Jianxing nodded slightly.

However, before officially setting off, he subconsciously turned around and looked towards the room at the very end of the second floor of the hotel.

The lights that were originally on were now off, as if the room's occupant had finally entered a deep and peaceful sleep.

However, the slightly swaying curtains silently told a story: not long ago, a piercing gaze had been directed at them from this place.

----------

Just a second before Yuan Jianxing turned around, Fu Ze, as if by telepathy, slammed the curtains shut and forcibly stopped the swaying of the two flimsy pieces of cloth with his handbrake.

This man is so perceptive it's annoying!

Fu Ze bit his lower lip angrily, wishing he could stick a gun into Yuan Jianxing's chest and blast him into a "heart-blowing" state.

A few minutes later, Fu Ze tiptoed and peeked his phone camera out from the gap above the curtains.

Yuan Jianxing and Mu Wangzhuo have completely disappeared from the screen.

If it weren't for the dents on the wall from the fight and the faint marks on his neck, Fu Ze would have almost doubted that what he had just witnessed was a dream.

Fu Ze sat back down on the bed and fell into deep thought.

If he hadn't shown more "concern" for Yuan Jianxing, and if Mu Wangzhuo hadn't asked that extra question, he probably would have fallen for the court's trick of "switching the beams and pillars".

Fu Ze has reason to suspect that there was a suggestion from Hara Mihoshi himself involved.

Ah, I'll make a note of that.

Based on the recent case, Fu Ze suddenly felt subconsciously that Yuan Jianxing, who had failed to capture him, would not let the matter rest and might have even set some kind of trap for him.

It's better to be safe than sorry!

Thinking of this, Fu Ze immediately opened his phone's browser and typed in a complex URL that was a full screen long.

After pressing Enter, the browser started connecting and redirecting normally, but then the loading got stuck at 90% and didn't change.

Most people would probably refresh their browser or check if they typed the URL correctly, but Fu Ze didn't.

He then pointed his finger at the center of the screen and drew an inverted pentagram.

The moment his finger left the screen, the previously stuck progress bar immediately reached 100%, and then the previously blank screen loaded line after line of file download links.

Judging from the file names, these files were likely written by someone skilled in hacking into various electronic devices.

“Having many deaths isn’t entirely without its advantages,” Fu Ze muttered to himself with a self-deprecating tone. “At least the inheritance is substantial.”

He carefully selected the documents, occasionally switching to the phone's operating system to check its current configuration.

After scrolling through two or three pages, Fu Ze finally found the file that best solved his current needs.

You're the one I've decided on!

With a "ding" sound, an ordinary-looking app appeared on Fu Ze's phone.

"Let me see what surprise the CEO has prepared for me." As he spoke, Fu Ze opened the app.

After the initial interface finished loading, the first thing that appeared on the screen was a flat map of the area where Fu Ze was located, and its level of detail was astonishing.

As a radar-like pattern spread evenly, countless red dots appeared around it.

Fu Ze zoomed in on the interface with two fingers and casually tapped a red dot that was only a few walls away from him.

Instantly, all the other red dots dimmed, making way for the dialog box that popped up when Fu Ze clicked on the red dot.

Countless pieces of information, from device ID to activation date, from online nickname to real name, and even some private information that was difficult to talk about, were easily and without reservation displayed to Fu Ze.

If anyone else were given such a weapon, naturally suited for blackmailing others, they would probably be torn between their own conscience and their own desires.

But Fu Ze was completely different.

He listlessly closed the information box that clearly belonged to some extreme sports enthusiast who had come to the area. While idly browsing the information in the other red dots, he quietly waited for the search radar to spread beyond the hotel area.

Fu Ze felt only a slight pang of gratitude towards the former owner of the body that had provided him with such immense help; more than that, he felt…

"With such strong technical capabilities, why not accept the offer of amnesty? In the end, you even dragged me down with you and I ended up taking the electric chair and losing my life."

In a short while, the scanning radar had reached the edge of the hotel and gradually expanded outwards.

Suddenly, some new red dots appeared on the page that hadn't changed in a long time.

The distribution of these red dots is very regular, with two dots forming a group, and they are evenly distributed around the hotel in all directions.

Fu Ze, who had been waiting somewhat in a daze, suddenly opened his eyes wide and immediately clicked on one of the newly appeared red dots.

Unlike the previous extremely smooth cracking process, this time the APP froze for a long time before a few bits of information appeared in the window that popped up from the red dot.

Moreover, these scattered pieces of information are interspersed with garbled characters such as *, ￢, ▌, etc., to the point that the effective content is almost non-existent.

Undoubtedly, this cracked app, whose performance resembled a super virus, finally met its match in a firewall of comparable strength.

Clearly, only one group could be equipped with such a powerful firewall on their personal devices and be so orderly distributed around the hotel at this particular time—

Executive Officer.

Fu Ze snorted coldly.

As expected, Hara Kensei would not let the matter rest so easily.

They even left me a "surprise gift".

I'm so touched!

Make another note of this!

Because beyond that lies a vast, open sandy plain with no cover whatsoever. Even if a fully armed executive officer came, it would be impossible for him to hide there without any trace without prior preparation.

So Fu Ze stopped the program's loading process and started counting on the screen:

"one two three……"

Alright, the inventory is complete. Now, the first problem his prison break plan needs to address is—

How can I escape from this inescapable net of sixteen executives and successfully board the next train back to the Central District?

With this tricky question in mind, Fu Ze lay on his back on the bed, his fingers unconsciously twisting the corner of the pillow.

Think of a solution, open your mind...

There's always a way out...

The boat will sink when it reaches the bridge; after the darkest hour comes the dawn...

When God closes a door, He opens a window...

Suddenly, Fu Ze had a flash of inspiration. His eyes darted left and right, and an idea came to him.

Got it!

That's so true to me!

That's what we'll do!

To correct you, if God closes a door for you, then open it.

That's what doors are for!
