Lin Xiao didn't chat with her for too long. After stating his stance, he went to do his own business.
Chatting with Zhang Huan was just a whim, and he didn't expect that Zhang Huan's reaction, which seemed somewhat normal, wasn't entirely so.
Perhaps there weren't many people in the Luo family, from top to bottom, who could truly be considered normal...
First, he went to the second brother's home.
The Luo family's second son was named Luo Buzhuo. However, based on this name, Lin Xiao could not connect him to the actual person at all. Whether it was in his private life or his actions at the company, this person could only be described as "Luo Bu Wei Di Er" (Luo is not the second).
Of course, the path to collecting debts was not that simple. Initially, Luo Buzhuo naturally refused and even tried to find people to drive Lin Xiao and Ye Chen out.
Then, he was thoroughly beaten by Ye Chen.
The rest of the process was largely the same, forcing him to hand over all the funds he had.
As they left, Luo Buzhuo stared blankly at Lin Xiao and Ye Chen's retreating backs, screaming hoarsely, "You are devils!"
Devils?
This was a term he was all too familiar with. Every time he went on a mission, all his enemies, in their last moments, would glare at him and utter this word.
Sometimes, he would even call himself a devil.
After all, if angels couldn't deal with you, then the devil would step in to resolve everything for them.
Next was the third brother, then the fifth...
For him, it didn't take much time, only about half a day. He recovered all the money that the Luo family of this generation had greedily accumulated and could be recovered.
To be honest, looking at the total sum of over thirty million, he found it ridiculous. If the Luo family's company hadn't collapsed, Luo Qinghan would have been an absolute genius.
When Luo Qinghan received this large sum of money from Lin Xiao, she sat in her office, unable to calm down for a long time.
This was an almost impossible task... If she had done it herself, she was certain she wouldn't have been able to complete it. Yet Lin Xiao, in just half a day, had accomplished it all. Moreover, every cent of this money had been transferred directly to her.
"Thank you."
On the phone, Luo Qinghan didn't know what else to say, her hand trembling slightly as she held the receiver.
"Hey, are you thanking me? Do you really see me as an outsider?" Lin Xiao leaned against the car window and said to Luo Qinghan on the other end of the line.
"What should be said..."
"By the way, why don't we celebrate tonight? Finally, you've lifted a great weight from your heart?" Lin Xiao asked.
"Okay!"
They chatted casually for a couple of more sentences before Lin Xiao hung up.
"Brother Xiao, National Security hasn't managed to get anything out of them," Ye Chen said after he finished the call.
"Oh, those two female assassins, right?" Lin Xiao wasn't surprised at all. "It would be strange if they could get anything out of them. Assassins from Disha are tight-lipped."
"Then... how should we handle them?"
"Keep them for now, don't kill them. Let's go take a look. We'll talk to them, have a chat. You go investigate and see if there's anything that can directly touch their hearts," Lin Xiao glanced at the time. His daughter would be out of school in three hours, so he could go to National Security and have a chat with the two assassins.
"Alright... I'll have someone investigate right away."
Ye Chen immediately turned the car around and drove towards National Security.
It wasn't far to National Security, about half an hour's drive. As soon as they arrived outside the National Security office building, they were stopped.
"Unauthorized vehicles are not allowed entry. Please present your identification!" The guard at the gate stood sternly by their car window and saluted.
Ye Chen handed over a document from his hand.
When the guard saw the document, his face contorted in shock. He immediately returned the document, stood at attention, and shouted loudly, "Greetings, Officer!"
"Can we go in now? Please register this license plate."
"Yes!"
After a brief procedure, the two entered the National Security Bureau.
As they walked, many people looked at them curiously. Most people here were familiar faces at National Security, so the sudden appearance of two completely unfamiliar individuals indeed caused them some surprise.
Especially since the two seemed quite familiar with the National Security Bureau, and they headed directly to Zhu Guangyu's office with a clear purpose.
They even entered without knocking.
"Who is it?"
Zhu Guangyu, frowning at the documents in his hand, looked up instinctively. Who was so rude as to just barge in? Upon seeing the two, his frown instantly relaxed, and he beamed, exclaiming, "Brother Chen, Brother Xiao!"
"If you call me that, don't let your subordinates hear you. You're the person in charge here now," Lin Xiao said. He walked over, glanced at the documents in Zhu Guangyu's hand, and then immediately averted his gaze.
"Brother Xiao, how can you say that? You're not just anyone... By the way, Brother Chen said you're planning to speak with these two female assassins yourself?" Zhu Guangyu didn't try to hide anything from Lin Xiao. According to regulations, classified documents on his desk shouldn't be shown to Lin Xiao, but he acted as if he knew nothing and let Lin Xiao see them.
A person who could achieve special merit in this day and age, what classified documents could possibly be kept from him?
"Mm... Please arrange it. I want to try and see if I can get anything out of them," Lin Xiao said, acting as if he hadn't seen anything just now.
"Sure thing."
Zhu Guangyu immediately made a phone call and made the arrangements.
"I'll take you there."
...
In the interrogation room.
Sakura and Jin's lips were dry. Their hands and feet were bound to the chairs, and their mouths were gagged to prevent them from biting their tongues if they were left alone.
The interrogation room was dimly lit and silent, with excellent soundproofing. The only sounds were the two of them breathing.
Both were exhausted. They had struggled for a long time, but the restraints on them were specially made, and even assassins whose strength was infinitely close to that of a grandmaster like them couldn't break free.
Suddenly, the door to the interrogation room opened, and blinding light illuminated the room. Then, two figures walked in.
"Brother Xiao, I'll go attend to other matters then."
With that, the door to the interrogation room closed again. However, the lights inside the room remained on. Jin and Sakura stared intently at the two people who had entered the room.
"Long time no see," Lin Xiao said as he and Ye Chen pulled up chairs and sat down to greet them.
