Chapter 488 A Mystery

Bang! Bang!

The old man's words had barely finished when two men and a woman tumbled down, somersaulting a few times before collapsing on the ground, twitching for a moment before going still. "Damn it..." the old man exclaimed in pain.

Whoosh!

At the same time, Billy flicked his wrist, and three silver needles shot into the old man's body at a speed rivaling bullets.

"You..." The old man managed to utter a word before a powerful gust of wind struck him in the chest, sending him sprawling to the ground, unconscious.

"Boss!" At that moment, lan Blade rushed over to Billy.

"How are you, lan?" Billy turned to him, his face briefly showing concern. Ian Blade's injuries were more severe than Stout's, and if Billy had arrived any later, things could have been much worse. "Just some minor injuries, don't worry."

"Take this healing pill for now," Billy took out a healing pill from his pocket and handed it to him. "I'll help you with your injuries later."

"Commander Gardner, Mr Blade!" At that moment, ten men from Special Patrol Squadron approached.

"Take him to the car and head to SHADOW!" Billy pointed at the old man.

"Yes, Commander!" Two of them nodded and walked over to the old man.

Five minutes later, everyone drove in the direction of SHADOW. After getting in the car, Billy made a call to Bob Stokes and learned that they were on their way back to SHADOW. Later, he took out a silver needle and began treating lan's injuries.

An hour later, they arrived at the SHADOW compound.

"Boss!" Bob Stokes and the others rushed over, and Stout was already in much better condition.

"lan, are you alright?" Night Orchid asked with a hint of concern.

"I'm fine," lan replied with a smile. "Boss has already taken care of me."

"Boss, is that the old guy who attacked lan?" Stout pointed to the old man who had been lifted from the car by one of Special Patrol Squadron members.

"Yes," Billy nodded and instructed, "Night Orchid, he's yours. Quickly extract any information you can from him."

"Understood!" Night Orchid nodded and motioned to one of the SHADOW members behind her. "Take him to the interrogation room!"

"Yes, Madam Governor!" The SHADOW member nodded and led the old man into the compound.

Billy then led Bob and the others to a nearby conference hall.

About twenty minutes later, Night Orchid walked in.

"Orchid, you've resolved this so quickly?" Stout asked.

"Yes," Night Orchid smiled and looked at Billy. "Boss, this situation might be more complicated than we thought."

"Is that so?" Billy smiled faintly. "Tell me more."

"He and the two people we encountered at the teahouse earlier are all members of the Heavenly Dragon Sect, but they were just hired. Mr Mitchell wasn't killed by them" Night Orchid nodded her head and said.

"Hired by whom?" Billy picked up a teacup and took a sip.

"A man named Garfield Badman," Night Orchid paused before continuing, "but he only knew that name, he doesn't know anything about the man's identity. I had our people check the system, but we couldn't find any information about this Garfield Badman. He's probably using a false name."

"Furthermore, Mr Mitchell's death, in his words, was due to the fact that Mr Mitchell was meddling in something he shouldn't have. However, he doesn't know the specifics."

"Did you find out how to contact Garfield Badman?" Billy asked, his brow slightly furrowing.

"He couldn't reach out to him. Garfield Badman always contacted them first," Night Orchid replied, shaking her head. After a moment's pause, as if she had remembered something, she continued. "Oh, Boss, earlier at the teahouse, the man named Sidney Cooper was also present. He has been killed."

"Hmm?" Billy furrowed his brow slightly.

Just then, a SHADOW member rushed in.

"Commander, Governor, we've made some progress on Sidney Cooper's information. He should be a member of Special Patrol Squadron!" he reported.

"Are you sure?" Night Orchid's eyes lit up.

"Almost certain!" The SHADOW member nodded solemnly.

"We found a case file from three years ago that mentioned him. At the time, he was assisting SHADOW as a member of Special Patrol Squadron."

"Ian, have you ever heard of this person, Sidney Cooper?" Stout turned to lan Blade and asked.

"I don't recall," Ian shook his head and took out his phone. "I'll check the system."

Two minutes later, he put away his phone and looked at the others. "There's no record of him in the system."

"Could it be that after he joined that 'SSS Special Operations Team' you mentioned earlier, his information was wiped from the system?" Bob Stokes suggested.

"If he was indeed a member of Special Patrol Squadron before, it's a possibility." lan nodded in agreement. "Because, under normal circumstances, even deceased members would still have records in the system."

"Boss, it seems that Mr Mitchell's death might really be related to that 'SSS Special Operations Team'." Night Orchid turned to Billy and said.

"Hmm," Billy nodded slightly. At this point, the answer was becoming clear.

Stan Mitchell had likely seen or known something about the secret information of the 'SSS Special Operations Team' and was silenced.

"Boss, what should we do next?" Bob raised his teacup and took a sip. "Should I go back and ask Hum if he knows anything about the 'SSS Special Operations Team'?"

"Never mind, I'll ask Donald first to see if he knows." Billy replied after a brief thought. He took out his phone as he spoke.

"Commander, someone is looking for you!" Just as Billy was about to dial, a SHADOW member entered the room.

"Who is it?" Billy asked.

"I asked her, but she won't say," the SHADOW member shook his head. "She only mentioned that she has important information to tell Commander in person."

"Where is she?"

"I've taken her to the meeting room."

"Let's go see."

Three minutes later, the group arrived at the entrance of a meeting room in the office building. Inside, they saw a young woman in her late twenties sitting on the couch. She had delicate features and exuded a strong martial aura. At this moment, her expression was downcast, and her face wore a somewhat anxious look.

"Hello, may I ask who you are?" Billy walked into the room and asked.

"Are you... Commander Gardner?" The woman stood up and looked at Billy inquiringly.

"I am," Billy nodded.

After confirming that she was indeed talking to Commander Gardner, the woman knelt down without hesitation.

"Commander Gardner, please, please save me..."

"Hmm?" Billy was slightly taken aback, but he reached out and helped the woman to her feet. "First, tell me what happened." Sᴇaʀ*ᴄh the FɪndNovᴇl.nᴇt website on Gøøglᴇ to access chapters of novels early and in the highest quality.
