Chapter 16 Gu Sheng wiped everything he had touched…
Gu Sheng wiped everything he had touched clean and threw it on the corpse on the ground, leaving only a pistol wrapped in cloth and holding it in his hand.
He walked to the window, looked outside, and silently calculated the time in his mind.
Jiang Yong whimpered behind him.
Gu Sheng turned to look at him and said, "It's almost time."
Jiang Yong finally spat out the rag from his mouth and shouted, "What have you done? Do you know what you've done? You've ruined everything I have!" He glared at Gu Sheng, "You won't get away with this either. Do you think the police will let you off the hook?"
Gu Sheng covered his mouth again and said, "This is not something you should be thinking about."
Then Gu Sheng pulled Jiang Yong off the chair and carried him on his shoulder.
At this moment, Gu Sheng was thinking about other things. Checking things out little by little was too slow and troublesome. He had to run around. Perhaps he should change his approach and let others come to him.
Jiang Yong saw stars when Gu Sheng bumped his shoulder, but all he could do was keep whimpering.
Gu Sheng stood by the window with Jiang Yong.
Looking down into the bottomless darkness, Jiang Yong seemed to know what Gu Sheng was planning, and he began to struggle violently.
Gu Sheng patted Jiang Yong and said, "Quiet down, or I'll let go." He then loosened his grip on Jiang Yong's hand.
Jiang Yong froze instantly.
Gu Sheng was very satisfied with Jiang Yong's reaction.
Having done everything he needed to do, Gu Sheng was now about to leave.
The arrival of the sheriff would inevitably cause chaos, which would give Gu Sheng the perfect opportunity to slip away unnoticed.
He stood by the window, fired a few shots that destroyed the surveillance camera outside, then threw the gun aside. Next, he carried Jiang Yong and jumped down.
Gu Sheng landed on a small platform below and began to climb down. Compared to the ease of coming up, carrying someone on his shoulder made it a bit strenuous for Gu Sheng.
As he passed the lower floors, he heard someone inside shouting, "Someone has broken in! Assemble! Assemble quickly and fight them back!" They probably didn't know who had broken in.
Gu Sheng descended from the back of the building to the ground, where gunshots could be faintly heard in the distance.
Gu Sheng walked in the opposite direction of the sound, crossed the railing, and came to the main road.
He hid in the bushes under the tree and saw a car parked not far away; it was a police vehicle.
The police have surrounded the area, but that's not a problem for Gu Sheng.
He bypassed the police station's encirclement and walked out of the unfinished building.
After they came out, Gu Sheng put Jiang Yong on the ground and let him stretch his shoulders.
He saw Jiang Yong slumped to the ground, his eyes closed, unconscious. It seemed he had been frightened and fainted when he went downstairs.
That's it?
Gu Sheng thought he was so powerful because he was so arrogant before.
Gu Sheng changed to a less conspicuous position and carried Jiang Yong on his back.
It's a bit far from Gu Sheng's house, but we should be able to get there before dawn.
So Gu Sheng walked all night, avoiding all surveillance cameras and not disturbing anyone, and returned home.
After arriving home, Gu Sheng found a guest room, threw Jiang Yong in there, and then went to take a shower.
After taking a shower, Gu Sheng went to the guest room and saw that Jiang Yong was already awake. As Gu Sheng approached, Jiang Yong unconsciously took a few steps back.
Gu Sheng removed the cloth from Jiang Yong's mouth and asked, "Is he still alive?"
Jiang Yong's gaze towards Gu Sheng was abnormal. He squeezed out a sentence: "Thanks to you, I'm not quite dead yet."
In Jiang Yong's view, what Gu Sheng did was no different from jumping off a building. There was no foothold outside that building, and he didn't know how Gu Sheng managed to climb down the wall, which was almost perpendicular to the ground.
No wonder Gu Sheng could steal things so easily; with that skill, there's nowhere he couldn't go.
Gu Sheng didn't care about Jiang Yong's tone. He found the first-aid kit and began to treat Jiang Yong's wounds.
The first-aid kit contained all the tools Gu Sheng needed, even though he had never bought them before.
Looking at the extra items, Gu Sheng couldn't help but sigh. These altered details sometimes gave him a sense of unreality.
Perhaps once I get used to those identities, I won't feel this way anymore.
As a former undercover agent, he should have known some basic handling techniques, but in fact, he knew more than just a few.
Gu Sheng removed the bullet from Jiang Yong's body and then stitched it up; the whole process was quick.
After the stitches were finished, Gu Sheng looked at Jiang Yong, who had fainted again and was pale-faced, and belatedly realized that he hadn't been given anesthesia.
Gu Sheng put away his tools and thought to himself, "Since it's already done, I shouldn't worry about the details."
It's not entirely his fault, since Jiang Yong didn't say anything.
In fact, Jiang Yong had been wanting to say something, but he couldn't. Even when he tried his best to make a sound, Gu Sheng, who was focused on treating his wounds, didn't hear him at all.
Before losing consciousness, Jiang Yong vowed in his heart that as long as he had a chance to escape, he would definitely kill Gu Sheng.
However, Gu Sheng wouldn't give him that chance.
Gu Sheng took out a stronger rope he found at home and replaced the original rope.
After making sure Jiang Yong couldn't break free, they left the room.
Gu Sheng returned to his bedroom and first reviewed the surveillance footage of No. 32 Xieyang Street during the time he was away, but found nothing unusual.
Then he turned on the surveillance footage of the Ouroboros boss's office.
There was no one in the office at that moment.
Gu Sheng looked at the surveillance footage, pondering whether he could directly use the footage to locate the source of the problem.
"I" knew the location of the Ouroboros leader, so I didn't leave any tracking device, but unfortunately Gu Sheng didn't know that.
Gu Sheng placed his hands on the keyboard and began to type continuously.
Dialog boxes flashed across the screen and then disappeared.
Finally, the hand stopped, and the screen stopped on a map.
Gu Sheng looked at the ever-enlarging map with some nervousness.
After narrowing down to City A, the screen suddenly started flashing red, and a warning appeared in the center of the screen.
"Locked by anti-tracking program, contact cut off"
"Locked by anti-tracking program, contact cut off"
"Locked by anti-tracking program, contact cut off"
The map flashed three times in a row, then stopped shrinking and the red light disappeared.
Gu Sheng swallowed hard. Had he been counter-tracked? Had he been exposed?
Just then, another dialog box popped up on the screen: Tracking successfully blocked.
Upon seeing this line of text, Gu Sheng breathed a sigh of relief.
He apologized for previously mocking the Ouroboros' security, saying that their security was top-notch.
The surveillance cameras can still be turned on, but for safety reasons, Gu Sheng decided not to turn them on again.
Now, narrowing the scope to City A is a significant improvement.
There shouldn't be any new developments in the short term.
Gu Sheng lay down on the bed and took a nap.
He woke up in the afternoon.
Gu Sheng got up and made some food, dividing it into two portions, one for himself and the other for Jiang Yong.
Jiang Yong is currently unable to move his hands and feet, so he can only feed people by speaking.
During the process, Jiang Yong was surprisingly honest.
After silently feeding Gu Sheng, Gu Sheng got up to leave, but was stopped by him: "Wait."
Gu Sheng looked at him.
Jiang Yong said, "I want to drink water."
Gu Sheng then realized that he had never given Jiang Yong water.
Gu Sheng brought water to feed Jiang Yong, but he fed it to him too quickly, causing Jiang Yong to choke and cough repeatedly.
Jiang Yong, who had been quiet just moments before, suddenly erupted after calming his breathing. Gu Sheng heard a long string of sentences that could only be represented by asterisks.
Gu Sheng simply stood aside and watched him silently.
Finally, Jiang Yong, exhausted from cursing, glared fiercely at Gu Sheng, panting heavily.
Gu Sheng said, "Make yourself at home, the soundproofing here is excellent." Then he turned to leave.
Jiang Yong suddenly asked, "What exactly do you want to do?"
Gu Sheng stopped and walked up to him: "I've been thinking about how to see the boss. Do you have any suggestions?"
Jiang Yong sneered: "What can I do? I can't even see the woman who came to pick up the goods."
Gu Sheng tilted his head: "What would happen if you disappeared?"
Jiang Yong said, "Then the boss will probably issue a kill order, but it won't be a very high-level one." It's not worth spending a lot of money on him. It would be best if he could be caught, but there's no need to invest too much.
Gu Sheng squatted down in front of the bed and said, "Then, what if you disappear with the gemstone?"
Jiang Yong's pupils contracted slightly.
"Ha, the boss won't believe it. The boss knows I haven't gotten the gem yet, how could I possibly disappear with the gem?"
Gu Sheng said thoughtfully, "No way?"
Jiang Yong panicked. He looked at Gu Sheng and said, "What else do you want to do?" He swung his neck and said, "You'd better kill me now, or I will definitely kill you."
Gu Sheng looked at Jiang Yong: "I won't kill you."
Jiang Yong shouted in a hoarse voice, "If you drag the police department into this, the boss won't let you off the hook. They'll come after you, and none of us can escape."
Gu Sheng didn't intend to escape; he just wanted to deliver all the people in the Ouroboros gang to the police station in an orderly fashion.
He didn't answer Jiang Yong, but said, "You might need to stay here for a while." But it won't be for too long.
Leaving Jiang Yong still hysterical, Gu Sheng left the room.
He checked his phone, waiting for the right moment.
The following day, Gu Sheng stayed in front of the computer, never leaving it for a moment.
Around 10 p.m. the next day, someone opened locker number five at No. 32 Xieyang Street.
Gu Sheng instantly perked up. It was a woman wearing a hat and mask, with only one eye showing.
She put a small bag into the locker.
Gu Sheng typed on the keyboard, watching the woman's journey through the city's surveillance cameras.
The woman was very good at counter-surveillance, and Gu Sheng almost lost her several times.
Finally, the woman disappeared around the corner of the alley, and there were no more security cameras inside.
Gu Sheng looked on the map and found an art gallery there.
gallery?
Gu Sheng suddenly remembered the business card Shen An had given him; it was also for an art gallery. Moreover, Li Qingyue seemed to have mentioned that Shen An was following up on a case that was suspected to be related to ouroboros.
It seems that Li Qingyue's guess is most likely correct.
Gu Sheng noted down the location on the map.
Just as Gu Sheng was about to shut down his computer and go check what the woman had put in the locker, the phone rang.
Gu Sheng answered the phone; it was the leader of Ouroboros.
"The item has been delivered; remember to pick it up."
Whatever the Ouroboros boss gave them was, it didn't really matter anymore, because: "Jiang Yuan took the gem and disappeared."
There was a moment of silence on the other end of the phone, then the man's voice, barely containing his anger, said, "What did he do?"
Gu Sheng said, "He tricked me into going to his territory, then came to my house and stole the gems. By the time I found out, it was too late, and he even called the police."
"The police station?" the man's voice was filled with surprise. "Is he insane?"
Just then, someone seemed to come in and say something to the man in a low voice, which he couldn't quite hear, but he soon realized what it was.
The visitor told the man about the shootout between the police station and Jiang Yuan's men the night before last. After listening to the report, the man fell silent.
After a while, he said, "Gu Sheng, tell me what happened that day, don't leave anything out."
Gu Sheng said, "That's all I know. There's nothing else to report."
"How is this possible?" The man was getting anxious; the loss of the gemstone seemed to be affecting him greatly.
Gu Sheng remained silent.
The man said, "Here's what we'll do: come to City A and report to them in person."
Gu Sheng was waiting for this sentence, but he thought the man wouldn't say it, so he was prepared to bring it up himself.
Gu Sheng was about to agree when the man added, "Also, the security was attacked the day before yesterday. Come and take a look, and reinforce the security procedures."
Gu Sheng was surprised that the man would say that. Wasn't that the same man who attacked him? Gu Sheng began to wonder if he had been discovered.
But he instinctively felt that he hadn't been discovered.
So, is it because he's too good at computer technology?
Hopefully, things won't go wrong.
With that in mind, Gu Sheng agreed.
