Chapter 333: Chapter 333: Annihilate in One Fell Swoop Zhang Haoyu’s whole body was stiff. Standing in the spring breeze, unable to move. A figure strolled up from behind him; it was Lin Xiaosu. Zhang Haoyu slowly raised his head, his face twisted into a ferocious snarl, a beast’s desperate savagery gleaming through. Splurt! A palm landed on his neck, and a voice whispered in his ear: "Don’t transform, if you scare them off their perch, it won’t be good." Zhang Haoyu fell into a coma. Five phones, with five key people behind them. The first key person was personally handled by Xue Ying, the second, third, and fourth key persons were the responsibility of the Jiangcheng police. The fifth key person was Lin Xiaosu’s responsibility. The fifth key person was the first to be captured. All because Lin Xiaosu’s method of capturing suspects was completely different from the other four teams. The first four teams utilized the Hidden Dragon System to pinpoint signal locations to the "decimeter level," sealing off the building while still going through a screening process. Lin Xiaosu skipped the screening; as long as he reached the location pinpointed by the Hidden Dragon System, a run of Time Retrospection allowed him to instantly track the person taking the call, their name and facial expression minutely detailed in his eyes. As long as the person couldn’t vanish into thin air, any trajectory of movement was laid bare before him. Thus, he dared to arrogantly tell Zhang Haoyu: Run! Encountering him was like running into a ghost for Zhang Haoyu. The other four targets were evidently the same. In the first encirclement, Lin Xiaosu walked through three corridors, reached a utility room on the roof, and pulled out the person inside, whose heart nearly burst from fear... In the second encirclement, the police had already locked onto the suspect who, exposed, transformed, injuring seven people on the spot. He leaped off the roof in an extraordinary manner, coincidentally crashing into Hu Ya, who reached out, grabbing the airborne figure in mid-air and, with a twist, BOOM! Lin Xiaosu grimaced slightly. As a Li Tian Clan member, whether or not their neck breaks doesn’t matter; their bones can be reassembled at will, but the large pit in the pavement probably required municipal engineering to repair it. In the third encirclement, the target was very alert. Before the police fully enclosed the area, he had actually escaped the encirclement, disguised himself, and pretended to be a bystander on the outskirts. Theoretically, he was already safe. However, after Lin Xiaosu made a round inside, he walked a straight line and stood directly before him. Ten meters away, cold sweat ran down this person’s back to his heels, and he finally transformed. At this transformation, Hu Ya locked onto him immediately. And then... Once more, another large pit was left on the ground. Only in the first encirclement, Xue Ying locked onto the suspect, her snow-white hair gently fluttered, and like a celestial fairy from the heavens, she swept through the air in a single step, landing in front of him, and with a swift hand strike... Police cars wailed... Sirens blared... Today, Jiangcheng had some minor commotion. Of course, for a metropolitan city of tens of millions, the commotion at five spots was ultimately minor, quickly submerged in the city’s tides. Time ticked away. The tense follow-up investigation had already begun. The Criminal Investigation Team got busy. The Hidden Dragon System backend got busy. Beside East Lake, a black car had been parked for a long time with two women inside wearing Dragon Eye, their gazes constantly flickering. They were Xue Ying and Hu Ya. In the blink of an eye, the time had reached sunset. Xue Ying slowly removed the Dragon Eye, a smile appearing on her beautiful, youthful face, exhaling softly, her whole being seemed to relax: "Looking at the current situation, today’s raid was remarkably successful!" Hu Ya also took off her glasses, with obvious excitement in her eyes: "Five targets, tentatively judged as second level bosses, this harvest is just a notch below Xinyue, who caught thirty-one people in one swoop." Xinyue caught thirty-one people in one scoop. Among them, exactly five second level bosses. And today’s mission was led by Hu Ya (though it wasn’t originally led by her, but Xue Ying intended for her to "lead"), capturing five second level bosses in one go. Whether it’s Nine Headed Snake or Utopia, they’re all chips on the Hidden Dragon System’s merit board, not distinguished by organization but by rank. Hu Ya and Xinyue’s top-level gains on the merit board were already equal. The only thing lacking was the mid and low level. Xue Ying chuckled lightly: "Indeed, let’s hope through these five people, we can also dig out more from the mid and low level." The five people were second level bosses, and through them, more could be excavated, those discovered would also be credited to Hu Ya. Though Hidden Dragon emphasizes national interest and practices division of labor and cooperation, competition among members has always been an effective mechanism to invigorate an organization. Xue Ying racked her brains to help Hu Ya stand at the forefront of Hidden Dragon in the first phase; whether you call it her wish or obsession, it was something she wanted to achieve. So, she was focusing a lot on the real outcome of Hu Ya’s one big net. Hu Ya said: "These five individuals have subordinates, but that sly fox Xinyue’s thirty-one people also have subordinates coming out constantly. Counting on subordinates to compete, I might not win against her..." "You’re not wrong with that thought!" Xue Ying nodded: "Utopia and Nine-Headed Snake are still different. Utopia emphasizes ’bloodline’ as a bond, inevitably having fewer lower tiers, while Nine-Headed Snake is bonded by interests, having a broad lower tier. With the top tier gain the same, you might not win the mid and lower tier clash... Unless... Oh, I wonder what Lin Xiaosu is up to now?" "He’s quite lazy; having finished the work, he might have gone back to the hotel to sleep." "Shall we have a chat with him?" "You also want to go?" Hu Ya asked. "Typically, from our standpoint, it’s not convenient to interact with non-staff, but the routine... those Heavenly Kings all vie to break it, why should I hold back? Let’s go!" They arrived at the hotel; there was nobody in! Lin Xiaosu hadn’t returned. Hu Ya called Lin Xiaosu, and at sunset, Lin Xiaosu returned. Return to the hotel, knocking on the door. The door opened, and Lin Xiaosu’s eyes lit up as he finally met Hu Ya’s instructor, Xue Ying, who ranked ninth in the Hidden Dragon System. Xue Ying’s full head of white hair was exceedingly distinctive. Her complexion was equally peculiar; skin like jade, faintly transparent, looked uncanny at first glance, but upon closer inspection, there was a fairy tale-like beauty. "Detective Lin, I am Xue Ying!" Xue Ying greeted straightforwardly, extending her hand for a handshake with Lin Xiaosu. Lin Xiaosu smiled: "I’ve heard about you from them, thank you for looking after Hu Ya." "Dian Dian needs no one’s care; she is meant to be a legend in her own right!" Xue Ying said: "Right now she needs an honor to stand at the forefront of the Gold Medal!" This was to open and freely discuss. A sentence directly hit the point. "Are the arrests of these five people insufficient?" Lin Xiaosu asked. "If it were before, sure! But, you personally raised the bar for merits, so now this yield seems a little insufficient." Xue Ying replied. "Haha..." Lin Xiaosu laughed heartily. He understood what Xue Ying meant.
