From the Abyss Invasion to the Blasting Star

After coming out of the Iron Blood Building, Yuan Hecheng thanked Lu Heng profusely, and his gratitude was beyond words.

Yuan Yaoyao stretched out her right little finger and said, "We can't go back on our promise."

Lu Heng knew what she was talking about. Last time, he promised her that he would keep the implanted optical brain a secret for her.

This incident caused her to reveal a little secret. She was worried that Lu Heng would reveal all her secrets, so she wanted to make a promise.

Lu Heng asked with a smile: "Are primary school students still so childish now? They have to make pinky promises for everything."

Yuan Yaoyao suddenly felt that pinky promises were indeed a bit childish, so she changed to palms: "Then high-five."

Lu Heng stretched out his hand and clapped his hands with her, and agreed: "Okay."

After high-fiving her, Lu Heng looked at Yuan Hecheng and reminded her: "Recently, foreign forces have hired psychics to attack quenchers, so you have to be careful."

Yuan Yaoyao immediately glared and said: "I told you. That guy must want to shoot at us, my judgment must be correct."

Yuan Hecheng was actually a little confused, but fortunately his daughter came out safely, so he was not so worried.

Yuan Yaoyao began to think that she would have to take on the responsibility of a bodyguard when she went out in the future.

With the combat power of the Black Feather Spirit, there would not be too many psychics stronger than her on Blue Star.

So there is no need to worry too much about Yuan Hecheng's safety.

However, there is more than one quencher in the Fire Emblem, Yuan Hecheng, there are many quenchers, forgers, and inscriptionists.

It is definitely necessary to strengthen prevention, but there is no reason to guard against thieves for a thousand days.

If you want to solve this incident, you need to find another way.

…

After returning from the Iron Blood headquarters building, Lu Heng reminded Lin Zeyu to strengthen prevention.

Early the next morning.

Lin Zeyu called hurriedly: "It seems that something happened. Two quenchers want to terminate the contract with us. If you don't agree to terminate the contract, you will directly cancel the contract."

The incident happened a little strange. If only one quencher asked for termination, it could be considered an unexpected situation.

At the same time, two quenchers asked for termination, which was obviously unusual.

When Lu Heng came to Fire Emblem, Lin Zeyu and the club manager were talking to the two quenchers.

These two quenchers are both talented quenchers signed by Fire Emblem, and one of them is a female quencher.

There are relatively few female quenchers. After all, the quenching process is very physically demanding. Relatively speaking, it is indeed more suitable for men.

However, female quenchers also have advantages, such as more meticulous control of quenching details.

As for the physically demanding work, it can be handed over to the quenching assistant.

Therefore, when quenching certain specific weapons, female quenchers have an advantage.

The male quencher was impatient. When Lu Heng came to the Fire Emblem building, he heard him arguing with the manager.

"I said, terminate the contract! Don't you understand? Isn't it enough for me to pay the penalty? Terminate the contract now!"

The quencher's name is Zhai Zhihong. He is in his thirties and looks a bit rough. Among the quenchers signed by Fire Emblem, he can be ranked in the top five.

Hearing him arguing, Lu Heng walked over and said, "It's okay to terminate the contract. It can be done immediately, but I want to know the reason."

Zhai Zhihong saw that it was Lu Heng, and didn't dare to continue shouting. He took a deep breath and tried to say calmly: "There is no reason. People want to move up. I don't want to work here anymore. It's that simple."

At present, Fire Emblem has a dominant position in the field of quenching and can guarantee continuous quenching orders.

The tempering masters outside are trying their best to get in. Theoretically, the tempering masters under Fire Emblem should not want to leave.

Even if you want to terminate the contract and seek other development, there is no need to be so anxious.

If you discuss the termination normally, you can leave naturally after the handover.

But this Zhai Zhihong looks too anxious, as if he will not give up until the termination is completed today, and he even does not hesitate to make a scene in the club.

Combined with the previous incident of Yuan Hecheng being attacked, there is a high possibility that the two are related.

Seeing that he is so anxious, Lu Heng tentatively asked: "Did someone threaten you?"

Zhai Zhihong was stunned for a moment, and then immediately denied: "No! Don't talk nonsense! I am here to terminate the contract. I will pay the penalty. I just want to terminate the contract."

Lu Heng saw the panic in his eyes, which should be the threat of injury.

Moreover, he was able to come to the company, which means that his freedom is not restricted, so it is very likely that his family has been threatened.

Lu Heng glanced at the club hall with his head sideways. The people here are a bit mixed. It is very likely that someone is here to monitor him, otherwise he would not be so anxious.

He must be taken to a place where no one is watching to get the truth out.

Lu Heng waved his hand and said to the manager: "Let the legal department write the termination contract and take him to the conference room to sign."

Zhai Zhihong relaxed immediately after hearing that the contract could be terminated, and hurriedly followed the manager to the conference room.

The termination contract was quickly printed out and taken to the conference room.

Lu Heng sat opposite him in person and handed him the termination contract.

Zhai Zhihong did not even look at the termination contract, and hurriedly found a pen to sign it.

"Don't you want to take a look at the contract? What if there are traps in the terms?" Lu Heng reminded.

"If there are, then there are. As long as the contract can be terminated, anything is fine." Zhai Zhihong picked up the pen and was about to sign.

Lu Heng stretched out his hand to block it, and said: "Can you tell the truth now? Someone threatened you, right? And they threatened you with your family."

Zhai Zhihong's expression immediately became nervous when he heard it.

Lu Heng continued, "Don't be nervous. If you want to terminate the contract, I won't stop you. I just want to know the truth. If you tell me the truth, I will let you terminate the contract and leave. But you have to think clearly. Since those people can threaten you for the first time, they can threaten you countless times. Are you sure that you and your family will be safe after the contract is terminated?"

Zhai Zhihong was stunned for a moment, because this was what he feared the most.

He scratched his hair and said, "I can't help it. You don't know, my daughter came back from kindergarten with a grenade in her schoolbag. Fortunately, there was no explosive in the grenade, but there was no dynamite this time. What about next time?"

"Besides the grenade, are there no other threatening letters or anything like that?" Lu Heng continued to ask.

Zhai Zhihong shook his head: "There was no threatening letter, but last week, a quenching company came to negotiate and wanted to dig me over. I refused at the time, and the broker said to give me a week to consider it. If I didn't agree, I would bear the consequences. Today is the last day."

He threatened people while digging them, and sent killers if they didn't accept.

The means were indeed cruel enough.

Moreover, there is no apparent connection between the quenching company that poached people and the supernatural killer, nor is there any threatening letter.

In other words, there is no evidence to prove that the quenching company represented by the broker threatened him.

Lu Heng thought for a while and continued to ask: "What is the name of that quenching company?"

"Wagley Quenching Service Company, I checked the company information, a company registered overseas, without any actual business, is a shell company." Zhai Zhihong replied.

Even the company that poached people is a shell company, which means that even if the matter is exposed, the person behind the scenes cannot be caught.

After Lu Heng asked for this information, he thought for a moment and asked, "Have you thought about it, or do you want to terminate the contract?"

Zhai Zhihong nodded: "Yes, I want to terminate the contract. There is no end to making money, and I have to ensure the safety of my wife and daughter first."

Lu Heng nodded and agreed to his request: "Okay, then you sign it. You don't have to pay the penalty, you can leave after signing."

Zhai Zhihong was stunned for a moment and asked, "No need to pay the penalty?"

The penalty for the contract opened by Fire Emblem is still very high. If he is asked to pay the penalty, he will basically go bankrupt.

He did nothing wrong in this matter.

People who have done nothing wrong should not be punished.

Lu Heng nodded and confirmed: "Yes, there is no need for the penalty. I hope you can protect your family."

"Thank you." Zhai Zhihong quickly signed his name and left with the termination contract.

...

Su Muyu was originally engraving rune gems in the gem workshop of Quenching Castle. When he heard that something happened outside, he came out of Quenching Castle.

Lu Heng had just finished talking to Zhai Zhihong and came out to see Su Muyu. He exchanged glances with her and whispered after getting close to her: "Keep an eye on him and see who he is in contact with."

"Okay." Su Muyu nodded in agreement.

Then, Lu Heng talked to the female quencher again.

The female quencher was tight-lipped and refused to tell the truth.

Lu Heng did not make things difficult for her and agreed to her termination of the contract, and also did not charge her for breach of contract.

After the two quenchers left, Lu Heng took out his mobile phone and called Chen Linian to ask about the attack on the quencher.

"Your guess is right. Two more quenchers were attacked today. One quencher was stabbed at home. When we arrived, he was already dead." There was anger in Chen Linian's voice.

Moreover, this incident was not a single case, but an organized and bad incident covering the whole country.

According to Tiexue's statistics, many quenchers have begun to leave Daxia because of fear.

In this incident, it is useless to track down the case.

Finding a case and finding the murderer will not stop similar incidents from happening in other places.

This is an organized and premeditated incident. If you want to solve it thoroughly, you must find the source and deal with it once and for all.

"What clues have you found? You can't find any useful clues, right?" Lu Heng asked directly on the phone.

"We did find some clues, but there is no evidence." Chen Linian replied.

"You need evidence, I don't." Lu Heng directly stated his attitude.

Chen Linian fell silent.

No evidence is needed. The meaning of this sentence is already very clear, but it is obviously not in line with the iron-blooded case handling regulations.

"Just tell me the force that the clues point to." Lu Heng continued to ask.

"Golden Leopard Mercenary Company." Chen Linian hesitated for a long time, and finally reported the name of a mercenary company.

In this era, those who can open a mercenary company must have a backer behind them.

This Golden Leopard Mercenary Company is a mercenary company with a little reputation in Binhai, but it is also famous for its ruthless means and dares to do any dirty work.

After hanging up the phone.

Su Muyu came over and said, "I saw Zhai Zhihong meeting someone and seemed to have signed a contract. Should I take care of it? I also heard their conversation. The man said that he would arrange for Zhai Zhihong and his family to leave the country tomorrow."

The competition in the quenching industry has reached this level.

If it were in peacetime, this situation might not happen, but after the Abyss Era, some people are even more cruel than demons when they do evil.

Lu Heng didn't expect it to be so fast. After thinking for a while, he said, "Follow the broker and let's go and see."

...

The two left the Fire Emblem Building together, led by Su Muyu, to follow the broker.

The broker took several contracts and drove to the base of a mercenary organization in the western suburbs, which was the Golden Leopard Mercenary Company.

After the broker entered the base, he met a senior executive of the Leopard Mercenary Company.

While they were talking, Lu Heng and Su Muyu stepped into the base of the Golden Leopard Mercenary Company.

The mercenary at the door wanted to stop him, but Lu Heng directly broke the barrel of his gun and walked in.

Before the Abyss came, the Leopard Mercenary Company was a force that had many thugs. As the Abyss came, it relied on ruthless tactics and slowly developed into an approved mercenary organization.

The number one figure in the Jinbao mercenary company is nicknamed Jinbao, and his real name is Jin Shibiao.

As Lu Heng and the two men broke in, a group of mercenaries rushed out of the Golden Leopard base and surrounded the two men with firearms.

Jin Shibiao heard the commotion, walked out of the building, and asked: "What do you do?"

Lu Heng looked around at the mercenaries, and finally looked at Jin Shibiao and asked, "Are you the head of the Golden Leopard?"

"It's me, what do you want to do? If you want to cause trouble, you've come to the right place!" A sinister smile appeared on Jin Shibiao's face.

Before the abyss fell, he started out by raising thugs to do evil. The last thing he was afraid of was someone destroying the place.

Moreover, he has resources in hand. With the continuous supply of resources, his current level has reached level 25, and his combat power is not weak at all.

Lu Heng took a few steps back and forth and asked, "Is it you who killed and threatened the tempering masters in the past few days?"

Jin Shibiao tugged at the corner of his mouth and sneered: "It turns out he came to die."

In this day and age, killing someone is really nothing.

What's more, this is his mercenary base. If he is killed, his corpse will be destroyed and no traces will be wiped out. Iron Blood can't find any clues.

Jin Shibiao had a cold look in his eyes, raised his hand and ordered: "Kill him!"

The mercenaries surrounding him immediately raised their guns to shoot.

The moment they pulled the trigger, a sonic explosion suddenly shook Lu Heng's body, and his body suddenly blurred and flew out like lightning.

Along with the sound of sonic boom, a sword light slashed through the throats of these people, blood splattered, and more than a dozen mercenaries fell straight down.

After killing these thugs with one sword, Lu Heng raised his hand to hold down Jin Shibiao's head and smashed it against the wall.

The sound of "bang" caused Jin Shibiao's head to be bruised and bleeding, and he screamed in agony.

He watched helplessly as all his men were killed. He didn't even know how Lu Heng took action.

As if in an instant, these men died. Almost at the same time, his head was in close contact with the wall, and the blood flowing from his forehead covered one of his eyes.

"Brother...brother, just say whatever you want." Jin Shibiao was very good at sizing up the situation. When he knew he was meeting a truly powerful person, he immediately began to beg for mercy and did not dare to make any move to resist.

On the other side, the broker's face turned pale with fear and he wanted to leave the base along the wall.

Lu Heng pointed at him and said coldly: "Come here!"

The broker didn't dare to escape. He quickly knelt down, crawled in front of Lu Heng, and begged for mercy: "It has nothing to do with me. I'm not from Jinleo. I'm just a businessman. I don't know anything."

He thought Lu Heng was here to seek revenge from Jin Bao, so he quickly broke off the relationship.

Lu Heng asked in a cold voice: "Did you do the assassination of the Tempering Master?"

When Jin Shibiao heard this, he quickly denied: "No, we didn't do it."

"No?" Lu Heng's eyes turned cold, and he pushed his head into the wall with force.

"Ah... don't, brother, don't. It's really not us. We just used some means to threaten the tempering masters to sign the contract and then send them out of the country. The killings are really not our fault." Jin Shibiao explained quickly.

"Then tell me who it is, or I'll think it's you who did it." Lu Heng was very arrogant and had no intention of being reasonable.

"Brother, it's really not us. We just threatened the tempering master, we didn't kill anyone, I swear." Jin Shibiao raised his hand and began to swear.

"Who did it?" Lu Heng continued to press.

"I said, I said, it was a person named Christopher who sent me a task with a very high price. As for who is behind him, I really don't know." Jin Shibiao told everything he knew.

Lu Heng also saw that those who threatened the tempering master and those who killed him were probably different people, and their methods were different.

However, the forces behind the two groups of people are likely to be the same.

"Christopher." Lu Heng repeated the name, and then asked, "Where can I find him?"

"I really don't know this. He came to me." After Jin Shibiao finished speaking, he showed a pleading expression and continued to beg for mercy.

At this time, Su Muyu reminded: "The iron-blooded people are coming."

Lu Heng had finished asking what he wanted to ask. He had to let Tie Xue handle the rest. He reached out and grabbed Jin Shibiao's arm and broke it directly.

"ah!"

Jin Shibiao screamed miserably and fell to the ground wailing.

The broker on the side saw it and immediately begged for mercy.

Lu Heng swept him to the ground with a flying kick and passed out immediately.

Then, the two left quickly.

Just left less than a minute ago.

Chen Linian led the team to arrive, took control of the scene, and began to collect evidence.

When he saw the situation at the scene, he frowned and felt that it was a bit too much.

This time.

His cell phone rang. He picked it up and saw that it was Lu Heng calling.

He knew very well that Lu Heng was responsible for what happened here, but that was no longer important.

With the coming of the abyss, there are more and more organizations of superpowers. In many cases, it is impossible to solve the case without extraordinary means.

He answered the phone and asked, "It's a bit harsh, hold back a little."

Lu Heng ignored his words and said directly, "Check a person named Christopher. He should be an agent of a transnational force in our country. The information of Golden Leopard. Find this person and send me his identity information and address. If you want to solve the case, it's better to be quick."

Chen Linian knew very well that such a serious thing happened here. If the Golden Leopard's online received the news, he would definitely withdraw, so he had to be quick.

He immediately called back to the headquarters and asked to investigate the man named Christopher, and then sent the identity information to Lu Heng.
