All My Superpowers Come from the Law of Causality-Chapter 63: Was the Golden Shield Gang Wiped Out?
"Hmm? Is there a problem?"
As Wind Kill continued checking his own materials, he asked.
Volcano seriously looked at the text on the laptop in front of him and slowly said:
"Fang Mengzhu is the daughter of the outer member Fang Keyi, and her parents are both deceased. According to the information, after today’s funeral ended, Vice President Shan Jinyong’s son returned with two men to find Fang Mengzhu, but they disappeared. So, Shan Jinyong sent more people to look for Fang Mengzhu."
"And then..."
"Those three people also disappeared."
"After that came the news that the Golden Shield Gang was suddenly taken down by the police."
"Although it’s possible that those three heard the news of the headquarters being raided and fled, there was over an hour between their departure and the raid. In theory, this was enough time for them to find Fang Mengzhu."
"But our people saw that Fang Mengzhu appeared unharmed at the hotel she was staying in."
Wind Kill raised an eyebrow:
"You mean, Fang Mengzhu isn’t simple?"
Volcano nodded, "Exactly, either she has someone backing her, or she’s not what she seems. If not for the gender difference, I’d even consider the possibility that she’s the Black Robe Person."
"In any case, we can find an opportunity to test her, what do you think?"
Wind Kill shrugged, "I agree. If there’s something up with her, it means we’re right. If there’s nothing, then she’s just an ordinary person with no background, no need to worry about trouble."
The two continued looking at the information.
Meanwhile, they issued a new order to their subordinates — find an opportunity to test Fang Mengzhu.
...
No need for rest, no need for food, every day feels prolonged to Su Xin.
Back home, changing into casual clothes, Su Xin lay quietly on the bed for a while, then began his regular evening exercise. 𝒻𝘳ℯℯ𝑤ℯ𝒷𝘯ℴ𝓋ℯ𝘭.𝑐ℴ𝑚
Exhausted, sweating, muscles aching, but by six-thirty, after dying and coming back to life, his state was completely restored.
"Since there’s plenty of time and I’m not tired, let’s work out an extra hour or two from now on."
Su Xin silently added an extra hour to his workout.
After showering, he felt invigorated all over.
Working out can be addictive, especially when Su Xin has no concerns about fatigue or over-exercising, he can train however he wants.
This sense of freedom and ease allowed him to forget all his troubles and sorrows.
After showering, half-reclined on the lounge chair, Su Xin, as usual, prepared to browse news on his phone.
But as soon as he opened up the phone interface, a series of news notifications popped up—
"The 10.20 Mass Shooting Case successfully cracked by Lening police, all culprits apprehended!"
"Golden Shield Gang taken down by police!"
...
"What the hell..."
Su Xin was speechless.
He had been preparing to gradually subdue the Golden Shield Gang for his use, having just established initial contact with Xu Li this afternoon, barely making any progress, and now the entire Golden Shield Gang was taken down just like that?
"That’s not right, the attack incident had nothing to do with them. Clearly, it was Fang Keyi who led the crew, so how did it end up like collective punishment from ancient times? Was there really a need to take down the entire Golden Shield Gang?"
Su Xin had previously guessed that the deaths of He Zhengqi and Fang Keyi would likely draw police attention, which would expose the attack.
But he never expected that the entire Golden Shield Gang would be wiped out because of this incident; after all, this wasn’t an ancient crime of treason, there was no need to implicate the entire gang, just arresting the culprits would suffice.
Many members of the Golden Shield Gang, including Xu Li, were unrelated to the case, even completely unaware.
Yet, the news reports and official police statements mentioned that all high-level and core members of the Gang, including Xu Li, were directly or indirectly involved in this case.
They were all criminals.
Thus, the entire Golden Shield Gang was taken down.
Su Xin’s plan fell through just like that.
"Forget it, once the heat passes, I’ll target another gang."
He shook his head helplessly.
And then he looked at his personal panel.
[Name: Su Xin]
[Supernatural Abilities: Concealment Prayer LV2, Unyielding Dead LV2, Other-Transformation LV2]
[Karma Points: 841]
"Just over a hundred karma points short of leveling up, with a good effort tonight, I should be able to gather enough."
Based on past patterns, a new mission should trigger tomorrow. If he can patiently wait another day, he should have a chance to gain a new supernatural ability, with a significant increase in strength.
However, given he’s just a tiny bit away from leveling up, he didn’t want to wait another day.
As usual, he typed away until eleven o’clock. Seeing that the time was about right, Su Xin donned his black robe gear, and with several Instant Teleportations, appeared at a dark corner some twenty kilometers away.
Since previously wandering through various corners of Lening City repeatedly, Su Xin had gained a pretty clear sense of Lening City’s layout, so he no longer wandered aimlessly during night outings.
He knew which places were crowded at night and where crime was more frequent.
For instance, his current location was a rather remote residential area in the South District, where most of the residences were quite old and densely packed, resembling a slum in Lening City.
In a small country like Wanghai Country, where economics decided everything, slums were often overlooked by the upper levels, known for their filth, disorder, and chaos as their main theme.
This place was also known as the no-law zone.
Just after leaving the corner.
Su Xin heard bursts of ’crackle’ noises coming from a certain direction, along with aggressive shouting.
It was clear someone was fighting.
And there seemed to be quite a few people involved.
Suxin walked casually, his figure occasionally flickering, ghost-like, weaving through the dense low-rise buildings.
Soon, he saw the fighting scene, under the dim moonlight, he saw over a dozen people wielding iron rods or blades, wildly hacking and slashing at each other, it was a chaotic melee.
On the ground beside them lay two people, clutching their wounds, curled up, occasionally twitching, seemingly too severely injured to stand.
Facing such a brawl, Su Xin’s expression was calm as he used Instant Teleportation to get closer.
Perhaps the moonlight was too dim tonight, or perhaps everyone was too caught up in the kill to observe their surroundings, by the time Su Xin was only ten meters away, no one noticed, still engrossed in their chaotic scuffle.
Su Xin pulled out a gun and fired two shots into the air.
"Bang bang!"
The gunshots startled everyone.
The combat-heavy group quickly split into two, each warily facing gun-toting Su Xin.
However, these people, usually living at the bottom, accustomed to life at the brink of death, while wary of firearms, weren’t as afraid as Su Xin expected.
Perhaps because they had strength in numbers, or maybe because it was clear Su Xin wasn’t on either side, one person spoke up, asking gravely:
"The Golden Teeth Gang and Wanhe Gang are conducting business, may I ask what guidance this brother has?"
