He was once a top-tier assassin, an existence that even international police feared. Now, he's the small owner of a dry-cleaning shop.
To take care of his younger brother and sister, whom...
After listening to Jiang Ling's words, Li Jia shook her head lightly. "I told you not to call the police, just pay money to settle it. Why do you have to involve the police?" She sighed inwardly and then hung up the phone.
Yesterday, after hearing what Li Jia said to Jiang Ling, Jiang Songbai was furious and immediately called the police. Just two hours after he called the police, another technology that the company was researching and had made breakthrough progress was also lost. The research report appeared on Jiang Songbai's desk the next morning, along with a red mole card.
This red mole card had no other meaning than a warning: if Jiang Songbai continued down this path, all the company's confidential technologies would likely be completely wiped out. The police were still clueless about the matter. Several suspects in the company had been placed under full surveillance, but none of them were willing to admit to the loss of the confidential technologies, all firmly maintaining their innocence.
In the afternoon, Li Jia arrived at Songbai's house as agreed. Jiang Chuan, whom Li Jia was meeting for the first time, was also sitting with her. Jiang Ling was chatting with her mother in the bedroom. The study was where Li Jia, Jiang Songbai, and Jiang Chuan discussed matters.
"Mr. Li, you seem quite familiar with the Mole. Could you tell me if their strength is really as formidable as the legends say?" Jiang Chuan, dressed like a typical businessman, with shrewd eyes behind his gold-rimmed glasses, sat on the sofa facing Li Jia and spoke softly. He had heard of the Mole, but he had no valuable information about this mysterious organization.
“Hehe, I’ve spent more time abroad, so I’ve heard a bit about their business. But no matter what, they were definitely behind this. These two cards have a unique logo; there’s no way the logos on them could be the same anywhere in the world, not even a counterfeit one.” Li Jia said slowly, looking at Jiang Chuan. When she said the last sentence, Jiang Chuan and Jiang Songbai’s expressions turned very disbelieving.
"Why don't the counterfeit cards appear? Is there some other explanation?" Jiang Songbai, being more shrewd, asked Li Jia with narrowed eyes.
"Hehe, have you ever heard of hyenas?" Li Jia didn't explain immediately, but instead looked at the two of them and asked them a question.
"Hyenas? That legendary assassin organization? What does that have to do with the mole?" Jiang Chuan immediately chimed in.
Li Jia didn't speak, but picked up the red card and held it up under the light. "This is the connection!" The mole symbol on the card changed under the light. The lines, folded by the light, transformed into a hyena, a hyena that would pounce on any sound and hunt to the death.
"Hiss! They're from the same organization?" Jiang Songbai was startled, finally understanding why Li Jia and Jiang Ling had said those things. If the two organizations were indeed the same, then there was truly no need to call the police; the Hyena's reputation preceded them. It wasn't a top-tier assassin organization, nor did it have any world-renowned killers, but it was certainly someone who would give anyone in the world a headache once they were targeted by it.
When people talk about hyenas, they naturally think of those creatures that wait to scavenge the leftovers from lions. However, most hyenas are actually nocturnal predators. They rest in the grass or fields during the day and roam freely at night, searching for food. They hunt alone, in packs, or in small groups. Sometimes, 40 to 60 hyenas will organize a hunt to surround and kill large animals such as zebras and buffalo.
However, some hyenas, after capturing their prey, will make a "chuckling" sound, similar to a human's, while eating due to excitement and competition for food. This sound often attracts lions. Thus, tragedy strikes: the lions drive away the hyenas and eat the food they painstakingly caught, while the hyenas themselves stand by, watching and waiting. At dawn, witnessing this scene, people mistakenly conclude that the hyenas are specifically waiting to scavenge the lions' leftovers.
The Hyena Assassins organization gets its name from this; they share almost identical characteristics with hyenas, with virtually no chance of assassinating a target alone. They always deploy large groups of assassins at once, relentlessly pursuing their targets wave after wave, leaving behind scenes of utter horror. Each victim is left with a disc containing only a piercing, chilling cry, a sound more terrifying than a lion's roar.
If the target is under tight protection, they are like lions stealing their food, constantly lurking around, waiting for an opportunity to strike. Therefore, although the Hyena Killer Organization is only a small organization, no one wants to provoke them. On the other hand, if someone accidentally offends them, then that person is in big trouble. And now, Jiang Songbai's company has inadvertently provoked the Hyena Organization, so now, Jiang Songbai is in big trouble!
"How do you know all this? Could it be that you...?" After listening to Li Jia's introduction, Jiang Chuan suddenly had a thought that made him break out in a cold sweat. His finger pointing at Li Jia even trembled slightly due to his unstable emotions.
"Hehe, don't be nervous. I know this isn't surprising. I worked as a bodyguard abroad for a while and had the opportunity to meet people there a few times, which is why I'm saying these things today. Mr. Jiang, it's not too late. There are twelve hours between the appearance of the third card and the second black card. If you don't make a definite move within these twelve hours, I believe that another card will appear on your desk before eight o'clock tonight. At that point, Mr. Jiang, your trouble will truly be irreversible." Li Jia threw the two cards on the table and said seriously.
