Chapter 1405 1400: The Mastermind Behind the Scenes
Jon was intimidated by the murderous aura released by Su Chen, momentarily losing his composure. He blurted out, "You want to kill me? For an ordinary person, you want to kill me, a superpower user? That person is just an ant! I can bring you greater benefits alive. I said, I can compensate for your losses..."Su Chen chuckled slightly, "You think that's just an ant? But in my eyes, you're just an ant too. Do I need a reason to kill you?"
"But I'm not willing!" A strong will to survive burst forth in Jon's eyes.
"Then tell me where the other six people are," Su Chen coaxed again.
"I really don't know, please, let me go, I really don't know."
Jon had a mournful look on his face. If he knew where that guy Yasis was, he would have already informed Su Chen.
Not to mention Yasis had already sold him out, even if Yasis hadn't betrayed him, he'd still sell Yasis out without hesitation to save his own life.
From the bottom of his heart, he didn't think Yasis was that powerful. Su Chen could easily deal with him, so how could he not be a match for Yasis?
"Really don't know?"
"Really don't know, I swear, if I knew where that bastard Yasis was, I would chop him into meat paste, no, roast him into meat paste, and feed him to the wolves!" Jon swore.
"Hmm, it seems you really don't know, then you can die now." Su Chen was about to make his move.
At this moment, Jon's superpower was completely depleted, leaving him incapable of resistance.
Faced with death, a sudden flash of inspiration seemed to hit Jon: "Wait a moment!"
"Hmm? Remembered something?"
"I remembered one thing. It seems the person who received us when we arrived wasn't from our organization..."
Jon narrated the scene of their arrival in Jiangdu to Su Chen.
However, Su Chen didn't recognize the person from Jon's narration, but considering the possible future use of Jon's identification ability, he temporarily spared his life.
He lightly tapped Jon's shoulder, and a cool sensation immediately entered his body.
"I placed a seal in your body, and without my removal, you will explode and die in a month," Su Chen told him.
Having witnessed Su Chen's power, Jon dared not question his words and hastily nodded in agreement to behave obediently.
This bit of inner strength was like a seed Su Chen planted in Jon's body. If the time came and Su Chen didn't help him remove it, Jon would explode and die.
Indeed, this was the Despondent Soul Extinguishing Finger Su Chen had used before, but with Su Chen's growing power, it now had an additional tracking ability besides this function.
As long as Jon was within Su Chen's range, Su Chen could sense and locate the presence of this seed through inner strength.
The fight in the alley behind the bar was neither too fast nor too slow.
Onlookers only saw a flash of firelight in the alley, and soon everything returned to silence.
Fortunately, no one chose to report the fire alarm; otherwise, it would've been quite a scene.
Jon, who had temporarily lost his superpower, was no longer a threat, and Su Chen let him follow him back to the bar.
He was still waiting for news.
Regarding the information Jon provided, Su Chen couldn't be certain about the relevant individuals and the forces behind them.
However, it didn't prevent him from following up on leads to find certain people.
Jiangdu is only so big, and Jon also mentioned that the person who received them was a foreigner.
In this way, wouldn't it be easy to find the person?
"Got the results."
This time Su Chen didn't bother Lang Sha but instead sought out Zhang Shu.
With Zhang Shu's authority, it was a piece of cake to check the incoming foreign personnel in Jiangdu.
However, when Su Chen got the specific information, he was still taken aback.
"It's him?" Su Chen murmured, holding the photo in his hand, but out of caution, he showed it to Jon to confirm.
"Is it this person?"
"That's right, it's him. I'd recognize him even if he turned to ashes!" Jon said without hesitation.
In this photo, wasn't it one of Steve's assistants?
Even though Su Chen had only met this person once, his memory was infallible.
If Steve's assistant was the one who received Jon and the arsonists, then their mastermind was obvious!
"Let's go, come with me to meet the main character," Su Chen smiled at Jon.
But feeling Su Chen's smile, Jon couldn't help but shiver, this guy...
Steve, in the villa, was very happy, the stock price of Yimena had been falling continuously in the past two days.
The news of the factory fire spread further under his deliberate dissemination. At the moment, he was imagining Lin Xi appearing before him, kneeling and begging him to help her save Yimena.
By then, he'd appear in Yimena as a savior, wouldn't it be easy to gain both wealth and affection?
Yet he still had some concerns in his heart. If the end of that matter wasn't handled properly, then the trouble would be considerable…
"Ruff, Ruff." Steve called out in the study room.
"Mr. President." An Eastern European-featured middle-aged man appeared before Steve.
"Where did Ruff go?" The man in front of him wasn't Ruff, but his housekeeper.
"Mr. Ruff went out two hours ago, but he mentioned he went out to do something for you, so I didn't ask further." Recently, Ruff had been coming and going mysteriously, and as a housekeeper, he knew what to ask and what not to.
Steve's expression slightly changed upon hearing this. Ruff was the link between him and that organization, Ruff suddenly going out without informing him, could something have happened?
"Damn it, could it have been exposed?" Steve pondered in silence, and then told the housekeeper, "If Ruff doesn't return in an hour, you should book the earliest flight to the United States for me… no! Do it now."
Steve decisively instructed the housekeeper, feeling that Ruff's disappearance wasn't a good omen. If Ruff indeed revealed the truth about the Yimena factory fire, by then there'd be no hope for him to leave Huaxia.
"Yes, sir, as you wish." The housekeeper nodded.
He knew the boss was doing something secretive, and it wasn't a small matter. If exposed, the Huaxia officials might restrict their departure, so after leaving the study, he called the airline.
Given Steve's status, he received VIP treatment at the airline, so booking a ticket over the phone was a simple task.
"Steve, isn't it a bit late to try to leave now?" Shortly after the housekeeper left the study, a voice suddenly rang out.
Steve, sitting behind the desk, abruptly stood up: "Who?!"
