Chapter 81: Hongmen Banquet
With the obvious success of Green God Tea, the other six managers of the gray forces accepted the invitation of the civet cat this time.
The civet cat used his savings to book a room in the upscale Bai Lan Hotel, and waited for the managers to arrive.
Chi Yao walked out of the Green God Tea Shop and was about to head to the White Orchid Hotel when his keen perception made him detect a gaze filled with malice and greed.
Chi Yao did not look back as that would alert the enemy, but instead used the wind element to sense the source of the sight.
Soon, Chi Yao got the target's appearance and general information: a middle-aged man with a strong build and steady steps. It could be judged that he was a professionally trained person.
Chi Yao had a guess about this: "It seems that this middle-aged man is one of the pursuers, and he came at the right time."
Chi Yao stood by the roadside and waved to stop a taxi. When getting in the car, he pretended to glance back casually and found that the man had hid behind a telephone pole in time and pretended to be making a phone call, but the red headscarf fluttering in the wind was his distinctive feature.
After getting in the car, Chi Yao handed the driver a 50-yuan note and said, "Go to the Bailan Hotel, hurry up, the extra money is a tip."
"Okay!" The driver became motivated after receiving the tip and started the car towards the Bai Lan Hotel.
The man in the red scarf watched Chi Yao get in the car and leave, then he immediately got back in the car and drove after the taxi. At the same time, he reported to Captain Heller: "The target Father has already got in the taxi, the destination is unknown, I am following him."
"Keep tracking, don't lose us and don't expose ourselves. We are on the way!" Heller said seriously.
"Understood." The red-turbaned man replied.
——On
the other side, the Thirteenth Innings had a back-up plan.
"Both Target Zero and Target Father have already set off."
Two black jeeps without license plates followed Chi Yao and Han Xiao respectively. In each car sat a field team from Bureau 13. Team leader Li Hui was the overall person in charge of the operation, and Feng Jun was the operation consultant. Each car had eight field personnel wearing full combat uniforms and equipped with tranquilizer bullets.
Feng Jun switched the surveillance footage and said, "Han Xiao's route is to the Clo Scrap Yard in District 7. The Sting Bee Squad is tracking the target. Father's route is to the White Orchid Hotel. He is most likely going to attend a gathering of the gray forces in District 7."
"Don't worry about the Clo Scrapyard. As long as the fighting there doesn't have too much impact, we can cover it up. As for the White Orchid Hotel, it's in a commercial area, so it's a bit difficult to deal with. Let's try to arrange ordinary guards to evacuate the crowd!"
As the order was issued, the forces of Bureau Thirteen quickly took action. This test was set by Bureau Thirteen. They planned to rescue Han Xiao and Father and then "invite" them back to Bureau Thirteen.
——Han
Xiao brought all his equipment to the Clo Scrap Station, and naturally brought the newly assembled first-generation Rangers. This could be regarded as Han Xiao's strongest trump card at this stage.
Because of the instructions given by the raccoon cat before leaving, all his subordinates temporarily obeyed Han Xiao's arrangements.
Han Xiao scattered the civet cat's minions throughout the Clo scrap yard, using them as cannon fodder bait to attract the first wave of mercenaries' attack so that he could catch them by surprise.
Han Xiao took out a remote controller with a screen from his pocket. This was a first-generation Ranger remote controller that he had made himself. The chip for the first-generation Ranger was a common product purchased from the market. It was easy to operate in a fool-proof manner. One only needed to input a simple program to make a remote controller.
After turning on the power, there was a chaotic buzzing sound for two seconds. The imaging equipment of the first-generation Ranger robot's eyes was connected to the remote control, and everything it saw was displayed on the screen. Han Xiao controlled the first-generation Ranger to make sure there were no problems.
After arranging everything, Han Xiao began to wait for the pursuers to arrive.
——White
Orchid Hotel, the name seems a bit old-fashioned, but its actual style is very modern.
Chi Yao has arrived at the door of the Bai Lan Hotel. Because the whole hotel was reserved by the raccoon cat today, there are no irrelevant personnel in the hotel. A group of big men in black clothes are standing at the door, protecting the entrance of the Bai Lan Hotel.
These big men in black are subordinates of the bosses of the gray forces in the other six districts. They were brought here today to maintain order and take charge of security work.
Chi Yao walked inside and showed the invitation card of the civet cat. The big man in black scanned it with a metal detector and let Chi Yao in.
Chi Yao followed the sign and soon arrived at the private room where the raccoon cat was.
Pushing the door open, Chi Yao discovered that the private room was already filled with seven people. Except for the raccoon cat, the other seven people all looked at Chi Yao with scrutinizing eyes, trying to determine some details about him from his appearance and clothing.
Chi Yao's appearance was quite handsome, but his clothing taste was average. He wore a blue and white striped casual outfit, which made him look out of place among the other seven people who were all wearing suits.
A bald old man sitting at the top spoke up: "Are you the Godfather who cooperates with the raccoon cat? You are so arrogant that you dare to use Godfather as your code name!"
A fierce-looking man with tattoos on his hands said, "Boy, has no one taught you the rules? Do you deserve the title of Godfather?"
Chi Yao didn't care about the provocation of the two people. He pulled a chair and sat directly opposite everyone. He said calmly: "I think I can bear it. Besides, people like you are not worthy of calling me Godfather."
"You little brat! Are you looking for death?" The tattooed man slammed the table, stood up, and pointed at Chi Yao.
Chi Yao's eyes focused, knowing that it was time to kill a chicken to scare the monkey. He raised his left hand slightly, and a flash of lightning shot out directly.
The lightning was so fast that no one present had time to react. The big man was knocked to the ground by the electric shock and kept twitching.
Suddenly, everyone except the raccoon cat stood up and immediately moved away from Chi Yao's position.
"You are a superpower!!"
"Civet cat! Did you know this a long time ago?"
"Fuck! You, raccoon cat, have bad intentions! You set a trap for us!"
"How did you invite a superpower?"
The raccoon cat remained silent and ignored everyone's insults.
"Okay, everyone sit down and calm down. I'm just teaching him a lesson and teaching him how to respect others." Chi Yao said with a smile.
But those who stood up could clearly feel the tingling electric shock coming from behind them, and it was approaching them!
Everyone had no choice but to return to their seats.
The bald old man, Mr. Yan, who had the most experience and was the manager of the second district, spoke up: "Then may I ask Mr. Godfather, what exactly do you want to do?"
"Nothing much. Unify the gray forces in the seven districts and open Green God Tea shops all over Xidu and even the whole country." Chi Yao said. The first half was the goal of the mission, and the second half was Chi Yao's nonsense reason.
"Don't worry, you will get some benefits. You can get 20% of the profits of Green God Tea."
"Well, isn't 20% a little too little?" asked a courageous fat man, the manager of the fourth district - Fatty Luo.
"That's enough. This is the economic benefit, and what comes next is the real work. I can give you a chance." Chi Yao explained.
"What opportunity?" When talking about interests, Fatty Luo's eyes suddenly lit up.
"An opportunity to become a super-powered person." Chi Yao said lightly, but his tone left no room for doubt.
Second update.
