So, Fade Chen said, "I'll let it go this time. I won't let you off the hook if there is ever a next time."
When he said this, Fade Chen sounded threatening and ominous, forcing everyone else around him to break into a cold sweat.
"Thank you so much, Mr. Chen. If you need our assistance in the future, just let us know." Vice Officer Liu took note of his tone and quickly bowed to express his gratitude. He tried to make Rocky Hu do the same thing.
"Alright, I still need to rest. You can go now." Fade Chen waved his hand, signalling them to leave.
Vice Officer Liu hurriedly led Rocky Hu and all the members of the team to leave, acting as though he was just spared from death.
The way they left contrasted greatly with how they first arrived: loud, rude and relentless. Now, they did not dare to make small talk and briskly left because they were on edge. After all, they would not want to risk making Fade Chen angry again.
As the car drove further and further away from the villa until it was no longer seen, only
then did Yosef Liu manage to gain his marbles. He unbuttoned the button on the top of his collar, wiped the cold sweat on his forehead and gasped frantically for breath.
Seeing Yosef Liu's behavior, Rocky Hu, who was seated beside him, was somewhat puzzled and unconvinced at the same time. Hence, he asked, "Vice Officer Liu, why are you being so lenient towards that brat? He's just..."
"Slap!" Vice Officer Liu landed a slap on Rocky Hu's face and said threateningly, "Watch your mouth."
Rocky Hu was stunned and looked at Vice Officer Liu with disbelief.
Vice Officer Liu sighed softly. He looked at Rocky Hu and said, "Don't blame me for being harsh. I'm the one who brought you up, so I'm doing this for your own good."
"But, I..." Rocky Hu was still confused.
Vice Officer Liu said, "Do you know why I rushed here?"
"Wasn't it to pass something over?" Rocky Hu asked.
"Then do you know who asked me to do that?" Vice Officer Liu asked.
Rocky Hu thought for a moment and said, "It was Officer Qin." In Bay City, other than Vice Officer Liu, Officer Qin was the most influential figure in the Stealth Team.
Vice Officer Liu snorted and said, "Officer Qin? He is not qualified to do that. Did you get a look of what I was sending?"
"It looked like a certificate from the Stealth Team!" Rocky Hu couldn't see it clearly. "Is Fade Chen a member of us too?"
"He is indeed a member of Stealth, but he is different from us." Vice Officer Liu said, "Let me tell you, half an hour ago, the Stealth headquarters directly called Officer Qin and asked him to specially take care of the certificate for Mr Chen."
"What? Stealth headquarters!" Rocky Hu was surprised. "Wait, isn't that someone from Capital City? Could it be that Fade Chen is a young master from one of the rich families in Capital City?"
Vice Officer Liu also had some doubts, but he shook his head and said, "A person from a rich family in Capital City? Apart from those really prestigious families that are at the top of Capital City, no one would be able to get into the Stealth team that easily, and in such a short period of time too."
"If he doesn't belong to one of the rich families of Capital city, then he's..." Rocky Hu's eyes widened, there could only be one possible explanation left.
Vice Officer Liu sighed and said, "Let's stop speculating here. If he's one of the big shots, we're even more so not in the position to guess his true identity. You just need to know one thing, stay away from him."
