176: Chapter 176

Just as he reached the outside of the shop, Qin Yang asked in a deep voice: "Did you follow them?"

"Boss, we have been keeping an eye on them." Wang Chao immediately stepped forward and replied with a determined tone.

"Take care of that old thing; I don't want to be entangled in these messy affairs anymore." Qin Yang's tone was flat, yet it carried an unquestionable coldness.

"Understood, Boss."

Qin Yang nodded slightly, walked straight to his car, and drove home.

Upon returning home, he did not reproach Deng Yue. In life, everyone has times when they misjudge people and fall into traps; this time, just treat it as paying for a lesson.

Not only that, but Qin Yang also transferred the beauty salon he had acquired earlier into Deng Yue's name and transferred the full compensation amount into her bank card.

Seeing that she had not lost a single cent and had instead gained quite a few benefits, the knot in Deng Yue's heart finally dissipated, and her mood gradually calmed down.

Seven or eight days passed in the blink of an eye.

This morning, in the luxurious bed of the five-star hotel's presidential suite, Qin Yang slowly opened his eyes, gently moved aside the few slender jade legs draped across his body, and a faint smile unconsciously curled at the corners of his mouth.

During this time, Qin Yang had successively handled quite a few small characters, and only then were the Lu Family Sisters taken down by him, but it was absolutely worth it.

Qin Yang got up and tidied himself up simply, intending to go to the company as usual to be a hands-off manager.

Before leaving, he specifically instructed the room steward to take good care of the Lu Family Sisters, and after they woke up, to pass on the luxury goods he had prepared in advance to them, after which he left the hotel.

Upon arriving at the company, Qin Yang, as usual, first looked through international current affairs news, but the headline content made him frown instantly.

The news showed that three aircraft carrier battle groups from the USA had successively advanced into the Asia-Pacific waters, and had even openly crossed the border, sailing into the territorial waters of the Eastern Great.

The Eastern Great side immediately issued a stern warning, rebuking the USA not to play with fire and burn itself, while simultaneously dispatching a naval fleet to the relevant waters to confront and expel the American fleet, with both sides on the verge of war.

At this moment, on the sea, the atmosphere was strained to the extreme, like a powder keg ready to be ignited at any moment, ready to explode at a touch.

Countries around the world spoke up one after another, calling on both sides to remain calm and resolve the dispute through negotiations and consultations.

And the second piece of news was even more explosive: an unknown creature attack incident suddenly occurred in Hong Kong City of the Eastern Great last night, causing hundreds of residents to be killed or injured. These unknown creatures also raided several banks in Hong Kong City, looting a large amount of gold before disappearing without a trace.

Qin Yang did not take the naval confrontation between the USA and the Eastern Great to heart.

He knew clearly in his heart that given the current power structure of the two countries, it was impossible for a direct war to break out unless it reached the final moment of life and death.

Countries around the world had long been fed up with the checks and balances of these two superpowers; once the two countries went to war, there would inevitably be many forces that would profit from the situation, and the high-level officials of both countries naturally understood this well.

The current confrontation was nothing more than mutual deterrence; even if a conflict really arose, it would only be a proxy war, and they would never easily lead the flames of war to their own territories.

What really caught Qin Yang's attention was the "unknown creatures" in the second piece of news.

In this day and age, those labeled with this title were nothing more than transcendents or the alien race, the Great Lizard Clan.

But this matter could not possibly be the work of the Great Lizard Clan—alien civilizations had no use for worldly precious metals like gold.

Then there was only one truth: some country had successfully developed a gene enhancement potion and created these inhuman monsters.

With this thought in mind, Qin Yang immediately contacted the Death Warriors branch in Hong Kong City.

The branch manager reported immediately: "Boss, we are also fully investigating this matter.

The incident happened too suddenly, and the Hong Kong City branch could not arrive at the scene in time, but Xiao Jiu hacked into the street public surveillance cameras and intercepted a piece of on-site footage, but the cameras were quickly destroyed, making it impossible to lock onto the specific whereabouts of the attackers."

Qin Yang ordered the branch to continue digging for clues, while also asking Xiao Jiu to immediately retrieve and play the preserved footage.

The moment he saw the content of the footage, a trace of surprise flashed in Qin Yang's eyes.

In the footage, five strange-looking monsters were engaged in a fierce firefight with the Hong Kong City police: a giant beast with a pig's head and a human body, a humanoid creature with a wolf's tail dragging behind it, and another monster with a snake's tail for a lower body... They were all different in form and hideous in appearance; no matter how one looked at them, they were definitely not human, which was no wonder why the Hong Kong media defined them as unknown creatures.

The combat power of these monsters far exceeded that of ordinary people; they were swift, had astonishing strength, and agile reactions. Although their strength was slightly inferior to a First-level Death Warrior, it was not much different.

It is well known that the ordinary patrol officers in Hong Kong City are equipped with .38 caliber pistols, and their firepower is inherently weak. Furthermore, those blocking the scene were all local patrol officers, without any heavy firepower weapons.

Such a disparity caused the police's containment to completely fail, and they were forcibly broken through by these monsters, resulting in a large number of civilian casualties.

By the time elite forces like the Flying Tigers arrived at the scene, the monsters had long since escaped without a trace.

...

Meanwhile, inside an office building of a certain Neon enterprise in Hong Kong City.

That group of unknown creatures that created the tragedy on the street were gathering in an office.

Several large packages were placed on the floor, and a Neon person stepped forward to untie the ropes; golden gold bars were instantly exposed under the lights, dazzling and eye-catching.

"Weigh it!" a certain Neon spy department head ordered coldly.

Two other Neon people immediately moved over weighing equipment and carefully counted and weighed them.

Not long after, the weighing was finished.

"Minister, a total of 4,700 jin of gold, with an estimated value of 200 million US dollars!" the subordinate reported while bowing, his tone full of respect.

"Yoshi! Hahaha! I didn't expect that one operation could yield such a huge amount of wealth; no wonder everyone loves looting!" The minister laughed loudly, his eyes full of greed, "Xiaoye-kun, this batch of gold is entrusted to you to be secretly transported back to the country.

In the previous few operations, our homeland suffered heavy losses, and we urgently need this batch of gold, as well as more gold subsequently, to fill the domestic deficit!"

"Hai! I will strictly follow your orders, Minister!" Xiaoye bowed and accepted the order.

The minister then turned his head and looked at the few monsters slumped on the sofa, his face filled with a fanatical smile: "Everyone, were you satisfied with yesterday's operation?"

"It was so satisfying! Humans are just too fragile. With a casual pat, that person's head exploded like a watermelon. I love this feeling too much!" The pig-headed man roared first, his tone full of bloodthirsty excitement.

"I also feel great. Those bullets hitting my body are no different from scratching an itch. This body is invulnerable; it's simply perfect!" Another monster chimed in.

"Very good! Since you are all satisfied, let's launch a few more operations! Hong Kong City is the financial center of Asia, and wealth is everywhere. As long as we continue to loot, the losses at home will soon be made up! Gentlemen, let's keep up the good work!" The minister waved his arms, his expression becoming increasingly crazy.
