Chapter 57: Not A Loss

Perhaps it was because they had promised to pay 100,000 points as a reward the last time.

The Statistics Department has recently received a lot of good news.

It was as if the world had seen the Tiansheng Group’s determination and sincerity, so they all made their moves and earnestly searched for him.

The information’s timeliness and accuracy had greatly improved!

!!

They had almost surrounded the man in green several times.

Unfortunately, the other party had become much more vigilant since his injury, and he overthrew the operation team and broke free from the encirclement before it formed.

The Tiansheng Group discovered through observation that the man in green would rather reveal his identity than remove the smiley-face mask.

It was assumed that the mask was a valuable tool created by the World Tower. The mask was most likely the reason he was so powerful.

Hence, the Tiansheng Group added a reward for the mask.

Similarly, the reward was a million points on par with the contribution points.

One could imagine how much the Tiansheng Group valued the smiley-face mask.

They believed that as long as they obtained the mask, even if the other party escaped, they would be weakened to some extent. They would also get to see the man in green’s face, killing two birds with one stone!

The staff had just submitted an emergency report to find out where the target was. The three mysterious men drinking tea in the office got up and left when Qin Dongbei waved his hand.

Luo Shan eagerly followed them.

Qin Dongbei said unhappily, “Team Leader Luo, I don’t think we don’t need to trouble you.”

Luo Shan turned his head and said, “Don’t worry, Director Qin. We have information about the man in green’s weakness. That time, we will undoubtedly succeed!”

“What weakness?” Qin Dongbei stood up from behind his desk, his expression uncertain.

Luo Shan smiled and waved his hand. “Just wait for our good news!”

After saying that, he urged the three mysterious people to hurry up.

Qin Dongbei nodded as he noticed the mysterious men’s inquisitive gaze. “Bring him with you.”

A few minutes later, a crowd rushed to the basement of a residential building.

The surveillance team members handed over to the mysterious men, indicating that the target was hiding between the fourth and sixth floors of the building.

The mysterious men had hundreds of elite teams surround the residential building.

They planned to force the target out while their men waited for the opportunity to act.

After the three mysterious men entered the stairwell, Luo Shan smiled and greeted the Tiansheng Group’s elite team.

Unfortunately, they ignored him.

After a few minutes, there was an explosion on the top floor.

The man in green broke through the window and jumped out.

The elite team members yelled and rushed up.

All sorts of attack tools bloomed and hit the man in green, who was still in the air, with pinpoint accuracy.

The three mysterious men followed closely from the broken window, and when they saw the situation below, they could not help but frown.

The man in green was caught in hazy light pollution because there were too many attack tools, and they could not see clearly.

They could not tell where the other party was then, so they had to rely on tools to slow down the landing speed and observe slowly.

Who knew that an invisible shock wave would blast in front of the three men in the next second?

Even before they got close to the shockwave, the three could feel its power. Their expressions changed, and they quickly retracted their hands to block it as forcefully as possible.

The terrifying power of the explosion directly shattered half of the adjacent residential building, revealing the collapsed beds, stoves, closets, and other furniture within the wall.

The three mysterious individuals were thrown back into the air.

A figure rushed out of the encirclement from a large mass of light pollution below.

Nobody knew the man in green had such quick reflexes. They yelled angrily as they saw the other party about to flee after landing far away.

The three mysterious men were also somewhat anxious.

The report they received sounded excellent. Every time, it would inflict more harm on the man in green.

However, it was an undeniable fact that they had repeatedly missed their target.

Their boss did not blame them.

However, the leader of the group of mysterious men was ashamed.

If they had not accomplished anything by that point, they would be too embarrassed to return to the group to rest. They would be on patrol all day, ready to apprehend the man in green at any time.

They would not be as relaxed as they were before that.

Just as everyone assumed that the man in green would flee once more.

Sparks appeared on his body unexpectedly. The man in green took a few steps before collapsing to the ground.

He appeared to be bound by something and could not break free for some time.

A figure walked out of a corner not far away, smiling as he operated an item in his hand.

It was Luo Shan!

The elite team and the three mysterious men widened their eyes.

Luo Shan held the item in one hand while grabbing the man in green with the other.

Boom!

Another explosion occurred.

Luo Shan was thrown backward as he spat blood mist into the air. He landed, grabbed an item, and rolled to the side of the wall. One would feel pain if they saw that.

Without waiting for the crowd to blink, another green figure dashed out of the smoke and vanished after a few leaps.

A few people were sprinting after him.

The majority of them started their vehicles to pursue him.

However, that was for the action team. The elite team that had fought against the man many times knew that the other party was very fast. They would not be able to catch up to him as long as he escaped the encirclement.

They could only hope to surround him again.

During that time, the three mysterious men did not sustain many injuries. They successfully blocked the shock wave. They were safe except for being thrown into the air for a few seconds.

They approached Luo Shan and helped him up.

In their opinion, Luo Shan’s contribution was clearly greater than that of the group’s elite team.

He nearly caught the man in green!

The three of them felt some regret in their hearts.

It had been such a perfect opportunity. It would have been great if they could have been there!

If they had known earlier, they would not have blocked the shockwave and chased after the man in green, even if they were injured.

If that were the case, they would have apprehended that damned man in green!

Luo Shan also appeared regretful.

He leaned against the three men and said weakly, with a mouth full of blood, “I’m sorry. It’s all my fault. I was too weak and could not hold him back.”

The three mysterious men’s expressions became even more complicated when they heard that.

Despite the awkward self-reproach, they could not help but open their mouths and comfort him, “Team Leader Luo, it is not your fault. You have already done your best. We were the ones who arrived late and blew the best opportunity.”

As a result, Luo Shan was also moved.

They almost cried out as they hugged each other.

Then, Luo Shan took something out and said, “It’s not nothing. At least I caught this!”

The three of them looked at the item closely.

It was a smiley-face mask covered in dust!

There were even specks of blood on it!

When they arrived at the Tiansheng Group building complex, Qin Dongbei grabbed the smiley-face mask and examined it repeatedly.

He even requested that the World Tower’s flying machine scan it several times.

All of the evidence pointed to it being a regular mask rather than a product of the World Tower.

Qin Dongbei regarded Luo Shan with suspicion. “Are you certain this was the mask that was on that person’s face?”

Luo Shan smiled weakly and took back the mask. He said, “Since Director Qin doesn’t believe me, it’s useless for me to say anything more. I shall take my leave now.”

He turned around and walked out the door without hesitation after saying that.

When the three mysterious men saw that, they became concerned. They approached the older man and said, “Director Qin, we saw the effect of his ambush. We also almost apprehended the man in green, but he escaped. If such an opportunity arises again, we will not pass it up.”

Qin Dongbei frowned and thought for a moment. He nodded and said, “Even if it’s fake, it might still be worth something.”

Someone stopped Luo Shan, who had already walked out of the group’s door. That person bowed and invited him to return to the boss’ office.

The two sides had a good conversation at the time.

Qin Dongbei had already spent a lot of money on intelligence gathering. He was willing to pay another million points to get things done.

Furthermore, there was blood on the mask. Sending someone to collect the test results would also bring him one step closer to revealing the identity of the other party.

The Tiansheng Group did not lose, no matter how one looked at it.
