Chapter 586 - The Third Task.
Chapter 586: The Third Task.
While Su Li was talking with Shen Qingyan, a piece of news was broadcasted on the car’s radio: Approximately three hours ago, a bank robbery took place by Huijin Road. Twenty to thirty people were taken as hostages, and the robbers were armed with guns. However, when the police arrived, they discovered that all the robbers were knocked unconscious on the ground.
When they asked the panicked hostages, they only stated that a figure ‒ moving so fast that they didn’t even get a clear look at his face ‒ rushed in, and robbers were knocked down by him.
“Did China create a superhero like Superman to maintain world peace? This is incredible!” The radio host commented in an excited voice.
Su Li, Shen Qingyan and Chai Zhiying were shocked, they unanimously thought of Xiao Luo’s excuse of being late.
“It can’t be… Did that guy actually encounter robbers?!”
Shen Qingyan’s face was filled with disbelief. All the details fit so perfectly so it couldn’t merely be pure coincidence.
“Is he that powerful?!” Chai Zhiying exclaimed.
Su Li smiled after briefly feeling stunned. It was only because of an unexpected mistake that she got tied up with Xiao Luo. But now that she thought about it, that unexpected mistake was ironically predestined. Before she met Xiao Luo, she even made a plan to be single during this lifetime. This was the result of witnessing her sister’s ordeal, so she instinctively rejected men.

……
The floor was paved with black marble, bright mirror-like ceramic tiles, gorgeous crystal pendant lamps, pure black wooden tables, and exquisite finely carved bookcases… This was Zhang Gu’s office in the NSA headquarters. It was elegant, neat, clean and tidy.
At this moment, Zhang Gu was sitting in his office chair with a serious expression. Director Dong Fangshuo Yu stood on one side of him. Zhang Gu informed Xiao Luo, “We’ve lost contact with Miss Venom for nearly half a month now. This has never happened before. The coordinates for her final location near the Tokyo Tower.”
“Is it done by the Aso family?” Xiao Luo asked.
“For this… It is still yet confirmed!”
Dong Fangshuo Yu frowned. “According to intel, the Aso family should have no such ability. Hence, I asked you to come. Go investigate things clearly and bring Miss Venom back. In addition, if it is possible, please also investigate the reasons why our international students are going missing in Japan.”
Xiao Luo nodded. Since this was the era of the internet where information could reach worldwide, news of missing Chinese international students missing in Japan would surface on the Internet from time to time. At first, everyone thought that it was probably just some perverted maniac in Japan. Afterwards, not only the female students disappeared, but also the male students. Even one Chinese student, who was only visiting Japan to do some shopping, was not spared!
“When you go to Japan, you will have a new identity. Later, Night Bird will give you the passport and information of your new identity. You’ll leave tonight.” Dong Fangshuo Yu said.
“Tonight?”
Xiao Luo frowned slightly. This was really a bit hasty. His relationship with Su Li just got closer, and he still needed to solidify it; yet now he’s leaving again already?
“We’ve lost contact with Miss Venom for too long, this matter can no longer be delayed.” Dong Fangshuo Yu explained.
“OK.” Xiao Luo had no choice but to accept the order.
At this time Zhang Gu, who was quiet the entire time, suddenly stood up and said, “The situation in Japan is somewhat complicated. You must be careful with this task. I am waiting for you to triumph!”
Xiao Luo nodded and then stepped out of the office.
”
”
After the office door was closed, Dong Fangshuo Yu turned to look at Zhang Gu, “You seem to have something on your mind?”
“This task is too difficult…” Zhang Gu worried.
“He can come and go freely in a war-torn land like Libya. Is Japan going to be more dangerous than Libya?” Dong Fangshuo Yu dismissed it.
Zhang Gu sighed, “I hope I’m just overthinking.”
……
……
In the reception room ‒ “Mr. Xiao Luo, here is your passport, ID card and bank card. The funds in it are enough for all your expenses in Japan. The password is six-ones.” Ji Siying, dressed in a gentle and elegant manner, gathered and handed the documents to Xiao Luo.
Xiao Luo looked at his new identity-Xiao Han, a policeman in Beijing.
Ji Siying furhter explained, “In order to facilitate your investigation in Japan, your new identity is a Chinese police officer. You will go to Japan to supervise the investigation of the missing persons. When you arrive at Tokyo Airport, there will be Tokyo police to meet you.”
Then she gently hugged Xiao Luo. “If there is any situation, you must contact me. Also, you must pay attention to your safety. I will wait for you to come back to Xia Hai.”
“En!” Xiao Luo nodded.
When this woman’s fragrance wafted into his arms, Xiao Luo found himself enchanted. Both Su Li and Ji Siying now occupied his heart, and he couldn’t give any one of them up.
The jade bracelet was returned to Ji Siying long ago, and Ji Siying wore it on her wrist and treated it like a treasure.
……
……
At eight o’clock in the evening, Xiao Luo returned to Star Moon Bay Hotel, packed up some luggage, and rang the doorbell of Su Li’s apartment.
Aunt Li opened the door and smiled, “Mr. Xiao, you’re here.”
Xiao Luo nodded and smiled back.
He saw a beautiful figure leaning on the sofa, reading a book in her hand. Such a scene could make anyone engage in a daydream. But then again, this was Su Li we were talking about.
Xiao Luo walked over and sat down beside her.
At this time, Su Li was very nervous that she could suffocate. Her heart was pounding hard and her face was red. Her relationship with Xiao Luo was different after that ‘crazy act’ inside Luo Fang’s conference room; an act that she would never forget.
“How come you returned to being an iceberg?” Xiao Luo frowned and started the conversation.
“I am just like this. Don’t come over if you don’t like it.”
“……”
Xiao Luo had to change the subject. He looked around and asked, “Where is Beibei?”
“I don’t know where Su Canye took her to play. She was tired during the day and fell asleep early.”
Su Li replied while wondering in her heart on whether she should tidy up the new bedroom. Because if there were no future incidents, she and this man would inevitably sleep together. But when she thought about it, her face went red. ‘What’s wrong with me? Why am I constantly thinking about sleeping with this man?’
