Chapter 043: Assassination

Wang Bo listened quietly, took another sip of his iced cola, and asked, "What does this Guo Wei you speak of look like? Is he a handsome man?"

Yazi was taken aback and nodded. "You know Guo Wei?"

Wang Bo continued, "The Flying Dragon Squad made the arrest last night, right?"

"That's right."

"Then I think Guo Wei should be the person in charge of Southeast Asia," Wang Bo said.

Chunli, who was deep in thought, suddenly looked up at Wang Bo, as if something had occurred to her. She turned to Yazi and asked, "Where did the Flying Dragon Team catch Guo Wei last night?"

"Not too sure?" Yazi shook her head; she really hadn't paid attention to that detail.

"Right here, isn't it?" Chunli stared at Wang Bo and said.

Wang Bo said, "Last night, a fully armed Flying Dragon squad did ambush someone in Repulse Bay. After more than twenty of their men were taken down, the target almost got away."

So, when Guo Wei fled, you made your move.

Yazi couldn't help but look at Wang Bo in surprise.

Wang Bo did not deny it. "That's right. Just as that person was about to escape, I guided two bullets to hit him, causing severe blood loss."

Ya Zi suddenly realized, "No wonder the Flying Dragon Squad caught Guo Wei at such a small cost—so it was you pulling the strings behind the scenes."

"What do you mean by 'meddling'? I was upholding justice, alright." Wang Bo glared at Ya Zi in annoyance. Couldn't this woman speak properly? Was what he did considered meddling?

"What do you think of Guo Wei's strength?" Chunli asked.

"Not bad." Wang Bo had seen clearly last night. "If I hadn't stepped in, the Flying Dragon Squad probably wouldn't have been able to catch Guo Wei at all, and they might even have been killed by him instead."

Chunli suddenly stood up, quickly took out her phone, and made a call.

"Hey, it's me, Commander Lin. I have a very important piece of information for you: Guo Wei is the head of Southeast Asia. He is very likely a key member of the drug trafficking syndicate, even a core member. So you must protect him. I suspect that the syndicate will stop at nothing to rescue Guo Wei."

"Officer Chunli, you've called too late!" However, a man's dejected voice came through the phone.

Chunli's heart skipped a beat, and she quickly asked, "What happened?"

The man said, 'Just a few minutes ago, Guo Wei died.'

"Dead?" Yazi was shocked.

Chunli gritted her teeth and asked, "How did Guo Wei die?"

"A criminal disguised as a doctor killed Guo Wei. We've locked down the entire hospital, but we still haven't found the fake doctor. It's very likely that after killing Guo Wei, he's already fled."

After hanging up the phone, Chunli looked dejected.

Guo Wei was dead, and the trail had gone cold. This mysterious drug trafficking ring remained at large.

This made Chunli feel very bad.

She was only one step away from unveiling the mysterious organization, but due to a moment of carelessness on her part, all her previous efforts were wasted. If she had been more cautious and learned that Guo Wei was caught in Shallow Water Bay, she might have guessed that Guo Wei was caught because of Wang Bo, and might have deduced that Guo Wei was the head of Southeast Asia.

If she had made that judgment, she would not have left last night.

A person in charge of Hong Kong Island and a person in charge of Southeast Asia—the difference in status between them is too great.

If she had been the one guarding Guo Wei, perhaps Guo Wei would not have died.

Of course, Chunli found that this was all just hindsight.

Some things are naturally very simple when you deduce the process from the outcome, but it is not so easy to infer the outcome from the process.

Moreover, she had not expected that organization to be so ruthless, abandoning a core member without a second thought. She thought the organization would rescue Guo Wei, but she never imagined they would strike so mercilessly.

"I was too careless," Chunli couldn't help saying.

Just then, Yazi suddenly said, "Got it."

"What do you have?" Wang Bo asked.

Yazi laughed triumphantly. "I have an idea to catch the murderer of Guo Wei."

“What idea?” Chunli asked quickly.

Yazi turned her head to look at Wang Bo and said, "Lend me your magic lamp."

Chunli suddenly realized, "You want to use the magic lamp to find the murderer?"

Wang Bo: ...

Using the magic lamp to find the murderer—this woman's imagination was getting wilder and wilder. However, Wang Bo was not stingy; instead, he readily took out the lamp and handed it to Yazi.

"Let me make this clear first: the genie can grant wishes, that's true, but he can only grant wishes. The lamp is not a magic mirror; it cannot answer your questions."

"That's because you're using it the wrong way." Yazi picked up the magic lamp with full confidence, rubbed it, and summoned the genie.

"Make your wish, my master."

"I wish for the murderer of Guo Wei to be brought before me." Yazi made her second wish.

"I'm sorry, master, I cannot fulfill this wish, because I don't know who Guo Wei is." The genie said helplessly.

Wang Bo couldn't help but burst out laughing.

He knew that the genie of the lamp was not a magic mirror and would not answer every question; otherwise, Wang Bo would have long since wished to the genie to bring all the transmigrators of this world before him.

Yazi's face flushed red. She shot Wang Bo a fierce glare and said, "Wait, I still have a clever trick."

Wang Bo suppressed a smile and made a gesture of invitation, saying, "Please, begin your performance."

Yazi said, "I wish for the most formidable person in this city, aside from the three of us, to be brought before us."

Chunli was taken aback, then immediately realized what was happening.

This wish was clever — the top brass of the drug trafficking organization were all inhumanly formidable, so the one who came to assassinate Guo Wei must also have been a master.

And throughout Hong Kong Island, aside from the three of them, the most formidable fighter was likely the one who assassinated Guo Wei.

The genie of the lamp said, "This wish is too easy, my master."

He rubbed his hands together, channeling his magical power.

A whirlwind began to spin before the three of them. After a few seconds, the whirlwind dissipated, and a golden-haired, blue-eyed man appeared in front of Wang Bo and his companions.

The man sat in a chair, still wearing a white lab coat and a mask on his face, dressed like a doctor.

Chunli and Yazi saw the man, and a hint of pleasantly surprised smile appeared on their faces.

The commander of the Flying Dragon Squad had said that the person who killed Guo Wei was a fake doctor.

And the man was clearly dressed as a doctor, and a very skilled one at that.

Doesn't this mean that he is very likely the murderer of Guo Wei?

Yazi's mind raced. Before the man could react, she immediately shouted, "Who are you, and why did you kill Guo Wei?!"

In an instant, the golden-haired, blue-eyed man's face showed disbelief.
