Twisted Dreams-Chapter 76 - 48: The Terrifying Bald Eagle

The mayor’s tone was calm and his attitude amiable, but the strong sense of threat made Cao Yi’s face look increasingly grim.

After hanging up the phone, his mind buzzed.

Cao Yi had thought the South Sea Green Grass Sanatorium had deep roots, but he never expected they had such inseparable ties with the upper leadership of South Sea.

His eyes were filled with disgust:

"What on earth is the South Sea Green Grass Sanatorium!

What filth is hidden among the upper leadership of South Sea!

The more it is like this, the more I want to see what secrets South Sea holds!"

He looked like a righteous sheriff who had been wronged, but that wasn’t the case.

In the security system, there was a saying:

In the security system, living Bodhisattvas are common, but there’s only one Living Yama—Cao Yi.

When he was just a junior sheriff, he loved using tactics like kidnapping, intimidation, and even more despicable villainous methods to achieve his ends and solve cases.

The term ’righteous messenger’ would never be associated with him.

The reason for his anger was the two types of people he despised most in life.

One type was villains like Chen Wei.

The other type was fat pigs who sheltered villains.

That bunch of bastards treated the common folk like ants to be bullied!

Cao Yi himself was a child from the ant-like class.

He indulged in wine and women, but never in greed, making him the poorest director in the security bureau.

Then, the phone rang again.

Cao Yi glanced at the caller ID and picked up the phone:

"Hello?"

A young man’s voice came from the other end:

"Director Cao, I think there’s definitely something wrong with the South Sea Green Grass Sanatorium.

I’ve only been here a day, and I feel like a lot of people are watching me.

But don’t worry, I’ve completely avoided all surveillance!

You know, I was quite good in my professional courses at school!"

This sheriff was the special operative Cao Yi sent into the South Sea Green Grass Sanatorium.

Cao Yi frowned.

The Sanatorium’s background was profound, and continuing the investigation might put the sheriff in danger.

He wanted to call the sheriff back, but swallowed the words.

A new plan formed in his mind.

Cao Yi asked seriously:

"The leaders have ordered that we are not allowed to investigate the Green Grass Sanatorium.

Continuing the investigation might affect your career.

Little Lu, are you afraid?"

The sheriff’s voice became tense:

"I’m not afraid, I just think it’s a bit thrilling."

Cao Yi nodded:

"I have faith in you, Little Lu, you haven’t let me down!

Then go ahead and investigate boldly, don’t be so timid with your actions, I’ll withstand the pressure from above.

Once the Green Grass Sanatorium matter is settled, I’ll count this as a merit for you!

We must make those who disrespect order pay the price!"

The sheriff, excited, said:

"Yes!"

...

South Sea Green Grass Sanatorium, director’s office.

Lilith crossed her legs, fiddling with a guitar on her lap:

"Is that sheriff crazy?

He knows we’re watching him, yet he acts so recklessly?"

Sheriff Lu had already used the pretext of going to the bathroom to enter the wrong floor three times and the wrong office five times.

Lilith wanted him to behave and had almost openly told him to stop looking around, we’re watching you.

Lilith pointed to a sneaky figure on the surveillance screen and continued:

"Is he a graduate of the police academy this year?

Is this the kind of person Cao Yi sends to investigate us?"

The sanatorium director said:

"His identity has been confirmed; he is indeed a fresh graduate from East Sea Security College.

His surname is Lu, the eldest son of the Imperial Capital Lu Family."

Lilith was stunned for a moment:

"The Imperial Capital Lu Family? A rich second-generation kid?"

The sanatorium director said:

"Yes, and the money he spent to stay at the sanatorium was out of his own pocket.

I guess he became a sheriff just to experience life."

Staying a few days at the South Sea Green Grass Sanatorium might cost an ordinary person half a year’s salary.

Lilith seemed to understand:

"Cao Yi sent such a rookie to investigate the sanatorium, confident that we wouldn’t dare touch him."

The sanatorium director chuckled:

"Actually, killing him wouldn’t be a problem.

Once the organization completes all the experiments, what’s the mere Lu Family?"

Lilith shook her head, propping her right hand on her cheek, her long hair gracefully falling to one side:

"If we don’t kill him, his reckless actions might really stir up trouble.

But if we kill him, we fall into Cao Yi’s trap.

We’d face joint retaliation from the security bureau and the Lu Family, giving Cao Yi grounds to thoroughly investigate the sanatorium.

This is Cao Yi’s open plot.

Perhaps it’s better to..."

Lilith’s eyes flashed with a chilling light:

"It’s better to address it at the source and assassinate Cao Yi.

With him dead, there would naturally be no one continuing to investigate the South Sea Green Grass Sanatorium."

The previous director of the security bureau had died this way.

The ninja who killed the former director later became an undead guarding the Tree of Human Essence.

The sanatorium director nodded:

"Alright, I’ll take care of it now."

The project is about to conclude.

Once it’s over, he would leave South Sea and follow Lilith to the God Creation Organization.

No matter how many directors die in the South Sea, even if the Imperial Capital were to rage, it wouldn’t matter to him.

...

South Sea, West District, a small detached villa.

Cao Yi lay naked on the bed, holding a sleeping woman in his arms.

The woman had slight whip marks and candle burns on her body, clear signs of a recent battle.

His surname was Cao, and coincidentally, he also harbored ambitions like a prime minister and was quite fond of the woman.

"Screech!"

Suddenly, the cry of an eagle pierced the night.

Cao Yi’s eyes snapped open, quickly looking towards the window.

Outside the window, a ridiculously large bald eagle circled above the villa.

Cao Yi’s pupils contracted sharply:

"You must be kidding me?"

There was actually a person crouched on the back of that bald eagle!

The bald eagle locked onto the villa, dove, and spread its massive talons aimed at the large floor-to-ceiling window of the villa.

Cao Yi saw clearly that the person on the bald eagle’s back was short-statured, a foreign dwarf.

The bald eagle was too fast for any reaction.

Cao Yi hurriedly grabbed the quilt to cover himself and the woman, to prevent glass shards from cutting their bodies.

"Bang!"

The glass shattered everywhere, the loud noise waking the woman.

The woman saw a massive bald eagle glaring at her, arched her back, and fainted with a scream.

The foreign dwarf jumped off the bald eagle, crossed his arms, glanced at the woman, then grinned at Cao Yi:

"Does Director Cao enjoy this kind of thing too?

It seems we’re kindred spirits.

Unfortunately, you’re going to die today, otherwise, we could have exchanged ideas."

Cao Yi, unhurriedly, put on his pants and said slowly:

"No worries, we can discuss it back at the bureau."

The foreign dwarf paused for a moment, then sneered:

"Director Cao, have you misunderstood the situation?"

Cao Yi finished putting on his pants, with a lingering fright, looked at the foreign dwarf with a smiling face:

"If you had killed me as soon as you came in, I’d definitely be dead by now. But you talked too much!"

As soon as he spoke, the bedroom door was violently pushed open.

A group of armed military officers pointed the dark barrels of their guns at the foreign dwarf.

Dozens of sniper red laser sights were fixed on the foreign dwarf’s head and heart.

In disbelief, the foreign dwarf stared at Cao Yi:

"You ambushed me?"

A smile crossed Cao Yi’s lips:

"My greatest trait is never underestimating my opponents.

I believe you have the capability to kill a security bureau director.

I also believe you have the capability to find me.

But you’ve clearly underestimated me."

The foreign dwarf stared relentlessly at the woman on the bed:

"Your subordinates were downstairs while you were upstairs having fun?"

There wasn’t a trace of embarrassment on Cao Yi’s face.

If he hadn’t done it this way, how could the other side have let their guard down?

Of course, the woman also found it quite thrilling.

Cao Yi’s face gradually turned cold:

"I advise you not to make any moves. If you dare move a bit, or let that thing beside you move a feather, you’ll be turned into a sieve."
