Beep! Beep!
Beep! Beep! On the sailing route behind, several shuttles were caught unprepared by Guo Chunfeng's sudden braking. They protested at him with their loudspeaker rune arrays. Some of them even rolled down the window and cursed aloud after they reached him. ≧?
Guo Xiaohe was tossed high into the air, only to be pulled back to her seat by the seat belt. The egg pancake that she had just eaten was even swollen. She held her chest and asked, "Dad, what's wrong with you?"
Guo Chunfeng looked extremely conflicted. He stared at the words' Strong Storm 'so hard that he seemed to be tearing the light beam into shreds.
Taking a deep breath, he pulled the steering wheel abruptly. The grocery cart plummeted hundreds of meters like a weight and smashed half a meter from the ground!
Guo Xiaohe was almost scared out of her wits by her father's shocking action. Her head went blank, and she even forgot to consider how her father, who had always been calm and steady, could have such amazing driving skills!
"Get out of the car," Guo Chunfeng said softly.
"Take a taxi and find your mother. Go home and have a good rest. I won't be back for a couple of days. Take care of yourself. If your mother is willing, ask her to take you to stay in her grandfather's hometown for a few days."
"What? Really? "
Guo Xiaohe found it hard to believe her ears. She scratched her head hard. "Are — are — are you out of your mind? Don't you know that your wife is divorcing you?"
"I know."
Guo Chunfeng closed his eyes and mumbled, "However, an extremely dangerous storm is coming to the capital city. If … it is unfolded in the capital city, many people will die. Many, many people."
"What the hell are you talking about?"
Guo Xiaohe was truly mad. Her tears fell out of her eyes as she cried, "Has there ever been a terrible storm in the history of the capital city? Even if there is one, what can a minor researcher like you do in the Meteorological Institute? It is your wife who needs you most right now. Do you know that? Do you know that? "
Guo Chunfeng was silent for a moment. Then, he opened the door of the cart and gave his daughter a gold transfer card.
Guo Xiaohe was dumbfounded. Her eyes that were staring at her father gradually turned from the bright red of fury into the gray of desperation. She knocked the card away from her father's hand brutally and jumped off the cart without looking back.
"Wait!"
Guo Chunfeng finally could not hold it back anymore. He craned his greasy head out of the window. With complicated feelings beaming out of his swollen eyes, he said solemnly, "Take good care of your mother. Don't do anything stupid yourself. Maybe … one day, you will know."
Guo Xiaohe gnashed her teeth. "Know what?"
Guo Chunfeng said, "Now I know why there has never been a storm in the capital city."
Guo Xiaohe was dazed and asked back subconsciously, "Why?"
"Because I blew them up before they took shape," Guo Chunfeng said, one word after another.
Dumbfounded, Guo Xiaohe stared at her father for a few seconds. Suddenly, she made a very vulgar gesture and shouted, "Go to hell!"
The cold girl with the Federation's emblem on her face turned around and left without looking back, disappearing at the corner of the street.
Looking at his daughter's disappearing back, Guo Chunfeng sighed. He typed in a secret rune at the bottom left corner of the light beam. Deep roars of animals immediately echoed from the unattractive cart.
"Du! Du! Du! "
Just then, someone knocked on his car window.
It was a traffic policeman who was shining all over his body.
"Excuse me. Temporary parking is not allowed here. Please turn off the power rune arrays and show me your license and license."
"…" Guo Chunfeng.
BOOM! BOOM! BOOM!
The low growl turned into a frenzied howl. The surface of the grocery cart suddenly glowed with a layer of magnificent light, as though it had grown dozens of colorful wings. The license plate on the back of the cart instantly turned into the highest grade of government license plate, dark gold in color!
"Shua!"
The cart turned into a streak of brilliance and rushed away at a speed even higher than that of a shuttle. It cut into the gaps among the surging traffic precisely like a lightning in midair and disappeared after only one second!
The only person left was the traffic policeman, whose facial muscles had been blown aside by the wild wind, who was dumbfounded!
Ten minutes later, in the Thunder and Lightning Research Institute in the Weather Bureau of the Federation …
On the surface, it looked like a government office that could be seen everywhere in the suburbs. The grayish-white low-rise buildings were stacked on top of each other like small hills. The surface was cracked, and the black waterproof glue was directly exposed to the sun. There was no extra budget to redecorate it. Everywhere, it retained the architectural style of a hundred years ago. Even the old gatekeeper looked dispirited and listless. He was half a head shorter than the gatekeepers in other places.
However, below the seemingly unattractive buildings was one of the largest underground fortresses in the capital. The owner of the place was the Secret Sword Bureau, the intelligence agency of the Federation that was feared by all evil beings!
"Boss!"
When Guo Chunfeng walked into the command center of the first district gloomily, hundreds of tough-looking Secret Sword Agents rose at the same time and bowed at him respectfully.
Most of the Secret Sword Agents were blushing and in a hurry. Half of their eyes were filled with nervousness and half excitement.
It was perhaps the greatest honor for a Cultivator of the Heaven's Origin Sector to have a chance to fight the legendary 'Vulture Li Yao', not to mention the strengthened 'Blood Devil' version!
"Big Cat."
Yawning, Guo Chunfeng summoned a fat young man and said, "Three things. Firstly, send a flower basket to Professor Xue of East Sea University for me. Also, get a similar demon core from the demon cores we seized last month and send it to him as an apology. Ask Professor Xue not to take it to heart and let it go."
The young man immediately understood what he meant. "It's about Sister Xiaohe, right? Should I reveal your identity?"
"That's unnecessary. You can count her as your sworn sister."
"Okay!"
The young man grimaced. "I've been her sworn brother more than ten times. I know what to do."
"Secondly," Guo Chunfeng said.
"Send more people to your sister-in-law's workplace. She has not been in a good mood recently. Don't make any trouble."
"Understood."
Big Cat gave a glib salute.
"What about the third …"
Looking at the excited Secret Sword Agents in the room, Guo Chunfeng frowned and said, "Who told you that we need to be on duty? That's nonsense!
"Right now, nobody can confirm whether or not the guy is really Li Yao. Even if he is, it won't be easy for him to arrive in the capital city!
"You are jumping and jumping as if you have been injected with stimulants. You have exhausted all your energy. When the guy really arrives, what are you doing? Taking a nap while having a battle of wits with him?
"Cancel the order of duty immediately. Eat and sleep as you should. Go home and spend time with your wives and kids when you should get off work!
"Those of you who are still in class, don't be so tense. It's just Vulture Li Yao. Does he have three heads and six arms? A Divinity Transformation Stage Cultivator? Do you have to be in such a hurry?
"Go, Big Cat. Check what we're having in the cafeteria today before we go. Add a few more delicious dishes. The thousand-year-old marrow and the ten-thousand-year-old ganoderma that we treasured should be braised and boiled. Appetite is combat ability. When can we have them if not now?"
Big Cat's eyes suddenly shone. He rubbed his hands and said, "Really, boss? We've been craving the few 'Purple Fire Polar Ice Bear Paws' for more than half a year, but the director never allowed us to touch them."
Guo Chunfeng smiled. "Let's find a way to get them out first. I'll ask the director for permission later. If we can really annihilate the storm 'Vulture', a few bear paws from an old man won't be a big deal at all!"
"Alright!"
Big Cat left, drooling. The other Secret Sword Agents also went back to their work under Guo Chunfeng's arrangement.
The tension caused by the arrival of 'Vulture Li Yao' was more or less resolved by Guo Chunfeng.
The command center, which had been in a mess a moment ago, was much more refreshed.
"Mosquito, tell me. What's going on?"
Guo Chunfeng made a pot of tea and sipped it unhurriedly. Then, he sat on a dirty stool in a corner of the command center.
It was his habit for decades. Instead of sitting on the seat of the supervisor at the center of the command center, he preferred to crouch in a corner and doze while thinking.
The one named Mosquito was a petite, young female Cultivator. Her hands and feet were thin and long, making her look as light as a mosquito.
Mosquito looked at Guo Chunfeng in admiration and said excitedly, "Boss, you are truly a god. We sent a lot of men to investigate the public security cases in the few towns to the south of the Giant Blade Pass as you asked. We did find something important!"
"Boss, how did you know that the target would commit crimes in those towns?"
Guo Chunfeng did not even bother to raise his head. He was not interested in the question, which was not difficult at all. He replied casually, "It's very simple. The target does not have a legal identity. It will be difficult for him to move around in the populated areas. If he is really Vulture Li Yao, with his style, he will certainly find a way to disguise himself and infiltrate the towns.
"If he wants to disguise himself, he will have to work on his ID. If he starts with the public security cases in the border cities, he will certainly find something."
Mosquito nodded vigorously. "That's right. Our discovery started from an ordinary brawl case."
"Two days ago, a fight took place in a fast food restaurant in North Tranquility City. The cause was that two people were fighting over the toilet of the toilet. The one who came first squatted in the cubicle for more than half an hour without coming out. The one who came later grew anxious and smashed the door, only to discover that the guy inside was sleeping. They started fighting after a few words.
"The fight itself is not strange. What is strange is that the one who went in first said in his statement that he did not know what was wrong with him and fell asleep while sitting on the toilet!
"We have checked his records. The man's nightlife was quite normal. There was no possibility that he was exhausted after staying up late for a long time. But he fell asleep while sitting on the toilet for more than an hour. Naturally, something is not right!"
"The man is not a Cultivator," Guo Chunfeng said. "An ordinary person with no background?"
"Exactly," Mosquito said.
"Then, we will have to check the usage records of the man's wrist crystal processor," Guo Chunfeng said casually. "It is very possible that the target tricked him into passing out in the toilet and collected intelligence with his portable crystal processor."
Some of his friends wondered if Li Yao had lost his mind. Such a situation only needed to be explained to the residents of the Flying Star Sector.
Very good. Everybody was reading the book carefully. Old Cow partly agreed with the opinion, but he had three problems.
Where should he find the target?
How should he find the target?
What should he do after he found the target?
Firstly, Li Yao was alone. He did not have a legal identity, and he was not a network specialist. How could he locate the influential residents of the Flying Star Sector in only several days?
Old Cow could not ask Li Yao to lock onto the coordinates of a certain resident of the Flying Star Sector with the skills of a 'super hacker', could he?
Secondly, even if the target was located, how could he find the target?
He could not fly, and he would be shot down. Could he walk on foot? That would take forever! Or would he have to disguise himself and take a vehicle?
Thirdly, after he found the target, how could he win the target's trust without being tied up and handed over to the Secret Sword Bureau? After all, Li Yao might be the 'Blood Devil'!
The same logic applied to Ding Ling Dong and Professor Mo Xuan. The idea was not bad, but it was technically difficult.
Therefore, Li Yao's strategy was to sneak into the capital city and make a big news in front of Ding Ling Dong, the Flying Star Sector, the big shots of the Federation, and thousands of media.
In such a way, everybody would be involved in the matter. Everybody would be watching. There would be no need to worry that a few bad guys were up to no good.
