Lane Group

"So fast! How did people find out about it?" Reed was a bit surprised by the efficiency of his subordinates.

"I've brought the person here. You can ask him about the details."

With that, he went out and called in a man who had been waiting outside.

This man was a doctor in the hospital. He stood in front of Reed trembling with fear.

"Don't be nervous. Tell me how you found the suspicious people."

It all started with the story of the cute but dim-witted man and the long-faced man that day.

The two of them fought fiercely until they were both covered in blood like blood gourds. They couldn't fight any longer and dragged themselves to the hospital for treatment with half of their lives left.

When they arrived at the hospital, they began to ask the doctors around if there were any seriously injured patients who came from Heling Mountain that day.

This doctor was one of the doctors who went out on a call to save Reed that day. Although he had been warned by the hospital director that this matter should not be spread around, he thought those two people were really suspicious. Moreover, their accents were very strange, so he reported the matter to the hospital director. The director didn't dare to delay and reported it directly to Butler Joseph.

Reed asked No. 3 to give the doctor some reward money and then let him go.

He stroked his chin and fell into deep thought.

That strange bracelet that day must be something extraordinary.

Could the killers who chased the robot to that extent really be that stupid?

Could it be that they had caught the wrong person!

"Has anyone interrogated them? What did those two men say?" Reed asked.

"Butler Joseph is interrogating them right now. How about we go back and have a look?" No. 3 suggested.

All right. He didn't want anyone to disturb his peaceful retired life.

Taking preventive measures is the basic quality of a killer.

"Is something up?" Alton, who had been waiting not far away, asked as soon as they went out.

"Yes, there's something that needs to be dealt with." Reed nodded.

"Oh!" It seemed that they couldn't go drinking together then. There was a barely noticeable sense of disappointment in his tone.

Reed paused for a moment and said,"You guys carry on having fun. Put today's expenses on my tab. We'll make an appointment next time!"

"Okay, thank you!" Alton grinned again, showing his big teeth.

It was hard to tell whether he was happy because he didn't have to pay for the consumption or because Reed had made an appointment with him for next time.

Reed and No. 3 walked out of the boxing arena side by side. The noise behind them stopped abruptly. The cold air, mixed with the metallic smell unique to the technological city, rushed towards them.

Whoosh~

Suddenly, a dark shadow whistled past overhead.

It was a cool black flying car. Its body was as black as if it had been dyed with ink, and the cold metallic light flickered in the sunlight.

The flying car sped through the air like a bolt of black lightning, narrowly missing other flying cars. Immediately, the sound of horns filled the street.

Its lightning speed was astonishing and was almost on a par with Reed's wildness when he drove his flying car.

However, when Reed drove his flying car at high speed, it was in the high altitude and suburbs.

But this was low-altitude flight in the city. There were quite a lot of flying cars coming and going, and with just a little carelessness, a traffic accident would occur.

Reed couldn't help but frown.

Sure enough, in an instant, there was a loud"bang", like muffled thunder exploding right beside their ears.

Not far away, a flying ship that had been traveling smoothly before, in order to avoid the cool black flying car in an emergency, the driver lost control of the operation in a panic. Like a runaway wild horse, it crashed straight into a building not far away.

In an instant, the sound of metal colliding and glass shattering intertwined. Flames and thick smoke rose into the air, and the surrounding crowd was immediately thrown into chaos.

Reed's eyes were as sharp as knives:"Isn't anyone taking care of this?"

No. 3 bowed slightly and replied respectfully,"Don't worry, young master. There's a security team specifically responsible for maintaining order in this area. I'll notify them right away to track down that black flying car."

However, before No. 3 could take any action, three special flying cars of the security team shot out from the security station at the street corner like bolts of blue lightning and sped off in the direction where the black flying car had disappeared.

The siren pierced through the sky and gradually faded away.

Seeing this situation, Reed didn't say anything more and walked quickly towards his own flying car with No. 3.

As soon as Reed stepped into the hall, his footsteps echoed in the empty space, and the intelligent sensor lights came on. The cold white light outlined the contours of the metal edges on the walls.

Butler Joseph, who had already been standing straight with a smile on his face, quickly walked up to him. He bowed slightly as a greeting and asked respectfully,"Young master, did you come back this time because of the two people captured at the hospital?"

Reed nodded slightly,"Well, what's the situation now?"

Butler Joseph cleared his throat and began to report in detail:"Young master, according to what those two people said, they are from the Lane Group. They showed up in the Western Mountain with the aim of tracking down that scrapped robot."

"Lane Group?" Reed repeated softly, frowning slightly and quickly thinking in his mind.

After a moment, his eyes brightened slightly and he said,"Isn't this the largest technology group in the capital?"

As he spoke, he paced slowly. The sound of his leather shoes hitting the ground made a rhythmic noise that echoed in the empty hall.

"Yes, this group is involved in many advanced technology fields. It has made quite achievements in aspects such as robot research and development, manufacturing, and high-end technological improvements of flying cars.

In the entire Silver Wing Kingdom, it can be regarded as a top-notch consortium. Just a stomp of its foot can make the business world tremble three times."

Butler Joseph paused for a moment and then continued,"The most crucial thing is that the owner of the group, Old Bryan, is the father of the wife of the president of the Silver Wing Kingdom."

Reed raised his eyebrows. This connection was no simple matter!

It was not only a huge consortium but also related to the royal family!

His eyes became deep as he thought to himself,"Could the Lane Group be the mastermind behind the pursuit of that robot?"

He turned to look at Butler Joseph and asked,"Did they say why they were chasing after that robot? And where did that robot come from?"

Butler Joseph shook his head helplessly,"They said they didn't know and claimed that they were just small fry, only responsible for tracking information."

The corners of Reed's mouth lifted slightly, showing a skeptical smile,"Really don't know or just pretending not to know?"

He really couldn't easily believe what these two people said in his heart.

Butler Joseph seemed to see through Reed's doubts and quickly explained,"Young master, we've already tested them with the latest lie detector. Judging from the test results, it doesn't seem like these two people were lying."

Reed's heart skipped a beat. He remembered that in his previous life, he had specifically received training to counter lie detectors. Fooling a lie detector wasn't that difficult.

However, the technology here was much more advanced than that in his previous life. Presumably, the effect should be better.

Moreover, those two people didn't look very smart at all. They probably didn't have the ability to deceive such an advanced lie detector.

Reed's gaze was sharp as he stared straight at Butler Joseph and pressed on,"Did they say if there would be others coming to track down later?"
