I created the Bureau of Anomaly Control

#446 - 437. The Dragon in the Shadow

Basement.

Shu Yunpeng took a deep drag of his cigarette, slowly exhaling the smoke from his lungs, his eyes staring blankly at the half-empty glass of whiskey on the table, before finally extinguishing the cigarette with a strong act of will.

He was waiting.

He had already arranged the upcoming events, how to get his daughter and wife out of here, how to deal with his father's impending questioning, and then try hard to keep his position.

Although it was difficult to get away unscathed, Shu Yunpeng decided to stay here and face the other family members, in any case, he was one of the six members of the Shu family, and would not be arbitrarily disposed of.

As long as it was handled well, his end might not be too miserable, and after all, these benefits were brought to the Shu family by his daughter, without him they would not even get half a longevity pill.

……

No matter how he comforted himself, he couldn't dispel the haze in his heart, even if Shu Yunpeng didn't want to face it, he vaguely realized that his ending would not be good, and even a little regret rose in his heart.

Is it really worth it? No matter what he did, Shu Yun couldn't be resurrected.

He closed his eyes and thought for a few seconds, and immediately got the answer in his heart.

Ding.

With a crisp sound, the holographic projection system in the basement started to operate, and the young man who had signed a contract with him not long ago reappeared, Shu Yunpeng also raised his head to look at him.

He could already foresee what he would hear.

But the other party's expression was terrible, which was obviously beyond his expectations.

"Sorry."

The young man said apologetically, "We have completed the lethal pursuit process according to your requirements, but unfortunately, according to the feedback from our staff…"

"He only had time to leave Ma En with minor injuries."

Shu Yunpeng's eyes widened, and he looked at the other party in shock:

"What did you say? I almost invested everything I had, are you sure you're not kidding me?"

The young man shook his head slightly:

"I understand your mood, but we really didn't kill Ma En."

Shu Yunpeng said angrily:

"You took my money, but told me that he is still alive, this is fraud! You must not have…"

The young man looked at him with sympathy as he vented his anger, and then said:

"The effect of this series of agreements is limited, if you want to kill a Tier V ability user, you should go to my superiors for detailed discussion."

Shu Yunpeng was stunned:

"Tier V."

The young man nodded slightly:

"I'm sorry, but this is the information provided by our staff, if you need it, you can always contact your superiors through me, but such cooperation may take a long time to discuss."

And they all knew that Shu Yunpeng could never afford the money.

Shu Yunpeng could even see a trace of pity in the young man's eyes, because in his opinion, Shu Yunpeng, who had offended a Tier V ability user, probably didn't have many days to live.

"Get out!"

He grabbed the glass in front of him and threw it at the holographic device.

The young man's projection, which had been maintaining a polite smile, flickered a few times, and then the room fell into darkness again.

He sat back heavily, then groped around his body for a long time before finding the cigarette case in a panic, and then immediately lit a cigarette.

It's over, this was the only thought in his mind.

He showed a wry smile, and then his whole body collapsed on the sofa as if he had collapsed, his eyes blurred, looking at the shattered projection device in front of him, unable to tell what he was thinking.

Until the cigarette butt was about to burn his beard, a new idea emerged in his mind.

It's time to escape.

But he immediately extinguished this new idea, he didn't think he could escape anywhere, and as a middle-aged man with a wife and daughter, it was difficult to hide them for a long time.

Then, it seems that he should go to his death.

This is also the reason why he didn't tell Xiao Luan and Jing Hong about this, if something really happened, he could die alone to quell Ma En's anger, and Xiao Luan and Jing Hong should be able to survive.

Ma En is a good person, he will not randomly vent his anger on his family, and he has a good relationship with Xiao Luan, and it is even more impossible to kill her and Jing Hong, as long as he dies, this matter can basically end smoothly.

Moreover, the Shu family will also mediate in it, they will be happy to hand him over, and tell Xiao Luan and Jing Hong a seemingly reasonable explanation, so that Ma En has no reason to kill them.

Thinking of this, he slowly calmed down again, and threw the cigarette butt in his hand into the ashtray.

After accepting the ending of his death, Shu Yunpeng's mind rose with many new ideas, he really had to go to his death, but his daughter's matter would end here.

Could it be that his revenge during this period was just seeking his own death, and that demon would never be brought to justice?

No, it must not end like this.

Maybe he can't kill him, or even hurt half a hair of him, but he doesn't have any way to hurt Ma En, in fact, the real weapon that can stab him is always in his hands.

That is Ma En's secret of violating the ceasefire agreement, and now he has one more…

Ma En is a Tier V ability user.

This news actually means a lot of things, Ma En concealed his true strength from the Federation, and he was very likely a Tier V ability user when he rescued Qin Lan.

He is a Tier V ability user sent by the Shenxiao Sect, yes, which also means that their judgment of Shenxiao may have some mistakes, and Ma En is likely to be her backhand.

If he is lucky, he is likely to be the most important backhand of Shenxiao, and in this way, his joining the Federation has a completely different explanation, and his slight strangeness can be better understood.

He didn't compromise with the Federation at all, the ceasefire agreement was a bargaining chip he and Shenxiao jointly handed over, the purpose was to allow this dangerous Tier V ability user to mix into the Federation.

Ma En is an undercover agent, and his purpose is to save Shenxiao practitioners, and he is very likely trying to rescue Shenxiao.

Unexpectedly, he just wanted to avenge his daughter and found such a big fish.

And since Ma En is no longer an abnormal ability user that the Federation wants to win over, but a poisonous snake lurking inside the Federation with terrifying destructive power, then finding him can be regarded as a meritorious service.

Even the Federation is likely to provide him with strong enough protection measures, not only can his family live safely, but even he doesn't have to die, and can also let this murderer get the punishment he deserves.

He is as fragile as an insect in front of Ma En, but Ma En is the same in front of the Federation.

Even if the Federation can't kill him, at least it can prevent him from achieving his desired purpose.

Shu Yunpeng showed a smile, this is no longer a matter of his own life and death, if this matter is handled smoothly enough, maybe in a few months he will become the real controller of the Shu family.

Thinking of this, he paused, and then temporarily dispelled these greedy thoughts of his.

This matter is not something he can solve independently, now Ma En has noticed the abnormality, and he doesn't know how long it will take to find out that the person who sent the company was him, and if he wants to pass this news up, he has to go through layers of investigation.

The one who really controls the network is Shu Shengyuan, his father who should have died long ago.

Only by relying on him can he get all these things done in a short time, and he does need the power and intelligence network of the entire Shu family, he is not qualified to enjoy this credit alone.

After figuring this out, he suppressed the dream of taking this opportunity to make meritorious service, picked up his phone, ready to notify the other members of the family of this heavy news, and let them quickly spread it within the Federation, and send Tier V ability users to ensure his personal safety.

But just as he pressed two numbers, the basement door was pushed open.

Shu Yunpeng looked at the stairs in surprise, no one should be able to enter here.

But when he saw the face of the intruder, he understood why the other party could forcibly open this door, because the one who was stepping down the stairs was Shu Shengyuan, the real controller of this family.

Of course he can open this door, everything is firmly held in his palm.

Shu Yunpeng had already thought of why his father came here, if he hadn't discovered anything, then he should beg for forgiveness in front of this old thing now, but the situation is different now.

"I know why you came."

Shu Yunpeng looked at his father who was walking towards him and said, "But listen to me first, I have discovered Ma En's important secret…"

Pa!

The old man, who had walked up to his son, slapped him hard, Shu Yunpeng didn't react at all that his father was actually slapping him, which made him fall into deep confusion and incomprehension.

Because slapping is not something his father would do, Shu Shengyuan would only order someone to be secretly dealt with, even when facing the guy he hated the most, he would never hit someone with his own hands.

"You disappoint me too much."

Shu Shengyuan said in a gloomy tone, "What? I gave you some power, and you think your wings have hardened, and you can do things behind my back, what do you think you are?

"If you didn't have my blood on you, do you think you could have today's status?"

Shu Yunpeng looked at his father with cold eyes and said:

"I'm very glad that it's not your blood flowing in my body.

"I will not be indifferent to the enemy who killed my child."

Pa.

Shu Shengyuan raised his hand again to slap Shu Yunpeng, but this time he also raised his hand to block it, and cast an extremely cold look at his father:

"Don't expect me to become you, no matter what I become, I will never be a demon like you."

Shu Shengyuan's eyes were full of disappointment and contempt:

"Is that so, is this your reason for betraying the family's interests? It's just that a daughter died, you can have a few more if you want, but you only have one father.

"Do you think the hatred for your dead daughter is more important than the future life of your still alive father?"

Hearing this, Shu Yunpeng couldn't care about telling Ma En's secret anymore, he gritted his teeth and stared at Shu Shengyuan, looking like he couldn't wait to chew this old thing into pieces and swallow it.

"I know you won't give me a chance to take revenge."

Shu Yunpeng said angrily in a low voice, "You will never be satisfied with a few longevity pills, and you will never destroy your cooperation with Ma En for Shu Yun's sake.

"You will squeeze out as much value as possible from him."

Shu Shengyuan shook his head slightly:

"We have already agreed with Ma En, people should be honest."

Shu Yunpeng was directly laughed at by this sentence, but just as he was about to do something, Shu Shengyuan took the lead to turn around towards the direction he came from, and then bowed deeply, saying in a low voice:

"I'm sorry, it's all because I didn't teach my son well, and I'm old and weak, that I have caused you such a big trouble, our Shu family will do our best to make up for your loss, my son and I are also here to apologize to you.

"Kill or punish, please feel free."

Speaking of this, Shu Shengyuan actually knelt down in that direction, and kowtowed heavily.

Shu Yunpeng was stunned, he had never seen his father be so humble in his life.

And the voice that sounded next made him freeze in place instantly.

"It's okay."

Ma En slowly walked out of the shadows, smiling as he helped the old man, "Firm cooperation will always encounter small twists and turns, and this is not something you can control.

"Since you have all apologized, then I will take back the agreement of two longevity pills as compensation."

Shu Shengyuan's body trembled slightly at this time, but he didn't say anything.

Ma En knew very well that what really made this old man kneel was not only fear, but also greed.

But he just said with a smile:

"But for the sake of our future cooperation, I will take out two longevity pills myself to give to the Shu family.

"Of course, next time something like this happens, remember to tell me in time, you see, this time it turned into this because you didn't tell me you got this news."

Saying that, Ma En reached out and patted the dust off the old man.

Shu Yunpeng stared blankly at Ma En who was helping his father, and then he realized that his father had deliberately angered him just now, because he didn't want him to say that "Ma En's secret".

Those just now were also shown to this terrifying man in front of him.

Shu Shengyuan, who was hunched over and looked like he was only in middle age, stood very humbly behind Ma En, staring at him sternly, like a father who was reprimanding his child.

But he was more like a wild dog wagging its tail and begging for mercy.

Ma En also smiled at Shu Yunpeng:

"Your idea was actually fine, if you changed your opponent, you might have succeeded.

"But unfortunately, I won't leave my opponent with this kind of opportunity."

Ma En was referring to those thoughts in Shu Yunpeng's mind just now.

This sentence made Shu Yunpeng fall into an ice cave, until this time he realized how ridiculous he was just now, he was still thinking about how to use the Federation to deal with him, but he completely forgot how terrifying Ma En was.

Yes, they found the treasure, but they didn't realize that the dragon was sleeping under the mountain of gold.

His rash action dragged the entire family into the abyss.

Now, the dragon has set its sights on them.

Shu Yunpeng showed a miserable smile, wanting to muster the courage to face death, but he heard his voice trembling:

"Do it."

Ma En asked in confusion:

“What are you doing?”

Shu Yunpeng closed his eyes, not daring to look directly at the figure who was so much taller than his own father:

“Just kill me.”

“Is that what you mean?” Mann explained gently, “You might have misunderstood. I don’t kill my partners casually. Of course, I definitely won’t let you leave just like that.

“I will erase the most important secrets from your minds, but you will still remember what happened today, just without knowing exactly what it was that you learned. After all, I don’t think you want to have a handle on me, right? If that were the case…”

Shu Yunpeng knew the answer—then Mann would have no choice but to kill those who knew to silence them.

Now that his enemy was standing right in front of him, Shu Yunpeng no longer had any thoughts of revenge. His mind was still replaying the way his father had tried to please him, and then he understood…

He would never have the courage to resist Mann in this lifetime.

Looking at his dull eyes, Mann smiled and extended his hand:

“I wish us a happy partnership.”
