No taboos in the world

Chapter 63 Entrapment
Knock on the door three times.

Hong Chen was still thinking about how to convince John, when the other person's face appeared in front of him the next second.

Their eyes met, and John was immediately surprised. Seeing Hong Chen's hospital gown, he asked, "Are you injured?"

Hong Chen lifted the corner of his clothes to reveal the gauze.

John nodded: "Are you okay?"

Hong Chen smiled: "No big problem."

"Come in." John pulled the door aside.

This ward was the same as the room he had just been in, except for the addition of a bed for a patient. Looking at the items placed everywhere, it was not difficult to guess that John had already regarded this place as another "home".

There was a woman with a shaved head lying on the hospital bed, and she was connected to many more monitoring devices than Hong Chen had just seen.

Her cheeks were sunken, the area around her eyes was dark, her lips were pale, and she was fast asleep.

The dripping sound of the instrument makes people feel heavy unconsciously.

"Please sit down." John said softly, reaching out to pick up an apple and started peeling it.

Hong Chen sat down gently, afraid to disturb the patient's rest.

John moved quickly and the apple peel was not broken from beginning to end. After peeling the apple, he handed it directly to Hong Chen.

Hong Chen took it, took a bite and found it very sweet.

"Marcus told me that you are very talented and have even surpassed him."

Hong Chen smiled and shook his head: "No, I just learned a little faster, he was exaggerating."

"Normally, he doesn't joke when he talks to me."

John is a man of few words, and it is hard to see a sense of humor in him, especially when you are not familiar with each other. It is also possible that his wife's serious illness and long-term condition made him like this.

Hong Chen was chewing an apple, thinking about how to start the conversation.

Unexpectedly, John suddenly took the initiative to say, "If you have anything to ask, come to me."

"Correct."

"I may not be able to help you."

"I think you will at least consider it." Hong Chen smiled and told the information about the Brotherhood, focusing on describing the effects of the recovery fluid.

John's interest was growing.

"To be honest, I don't think the recovery fluid can completely cure cancer. But if it works, it can at least alleviate or even eliminate certain complications. You should also know that sometimes cancer kills people mainly because of various repeated complications that lead to organ failure and then death."

Hong Chen did not deceive, nor did he need to fool anyone.

Although John's expression remained calm, his constantly flashing eyes showed that he was not calm at the moment.

Hong Chen carefully finished eating the apple without wasting any of it.

As he threw away the core, John spoke.

"When to act?"

"Wait for me to notify you. I've also called Marcus, and then the four of us will be together."

"The other one is the woman next to you?"

"Yes, her name is Anna."

"She's beautiful, you two are a perfect match."

“It’s not that kind of relationship yet.”

John glanced at him and said, "You have wasted half a year, don't let yourself regret it." Then he looked at his wife on the hospital bed, his eyes full of affection.

After exchanging phone numbers with John, Hong Chen returned to his ward.

After a while, Anna came in carrying a bag.

She set up a small table on the bed, took out the lunch box, opened the lid, and steam rose and the fragrance filled the air.

Hong Chen then pulled out a piece of wet paper and stretched it towards her thigh.

touch.

Anna's body trembled suddenly.

Looking down, he saw a little red stain on the wet tissue in Hong Chen's hand.

"It doesn't look like it's going well?" Hong Chen asked.

Anna: "It went smoothly. I just cut a little too deep."

"That's good."

During the meal, Hong Chen mentioned that John had also joined, and then said, "Help me find an arms dealer. I want to buy some equipment."

"Okay, what do you want to buy?"

"Heavy weapons such as bombs, rocket launchers, and various artillery pieces. It would be even better if there were active main battle tanks or armed helicopters."

Anna was dumbfounded, and after a while she said, "What are you talking about? Are you kidding?" Hong Chen raised his head and smiled, "You know how outrageous their abilities are, so we can't use ordinary methods. If the four of us rush into the enemy's lair, we will be courting death. So I think it's safer to bombard them with artillery fire first. What do you think?"

"You want to blow them all up?"

"It would be better if it were so, but I think it's unlikely."

Anna frowned: "But if they are all killed, we won't get anything."

"I will lure out the leader of the Brotherhood first. Don't worry. I know what's going on."

The next day.

Hong Chen changed into the gray casual clothes that Anna had just bought. After being discharged from the hospital, Anna went home to cook, while he drove to meet Marcus.

As soon as Marcus got in the car, Hong Chen asked, "Did you find it?"

"No, but I have screened out several suspected targets that are not from mainland hotels. Their asking prices are very high, but they have never failed." Marcus handed over a mobile phone and a piece of paper. "Here are the contact information."

Hong Chen took over and dialed one by one, guiding the other party to talk in the manner of discussing prices.

This was just an attempt.

But soon, he heard that familiar voice.

"Hello."

Hong Chen narrowed his eyes and said calmly: "I want to kill someone for five million. I can pay half first, but only in cash."

“…Cash is the best payment method, but you haven’t stated your goal yet.”

“The mayor of New York City.”

There was a pause on the other end of the phone. "Okay, I'll give you a spot later and you can put the deposit there."

"Okay, but I want to see results within a week."

"No, my friend, please continue to pay attention to the news for the next three days."

hang up the phone.

Marcus looked puzzled: "How do you know it was him?"

“I remember his voice.”

"Okay, so you have a grudge against the mayor of New York?"

"No, but he fits the price of five million, doesn't he? Even though it's a bit high, political assassinations always seem very reasonable."

KENNEDY: You're right.

The phone vibrated. The text message contained an address. Hong Chen showed it to Marcus: "Let's switch. You drive."

Marcus was stunned: "Where's the money?"

Hong Chen raised his eyebrows: "Why do you need money?"

"No, if you just arrest him like this, are you sure he will go to get the money himself?"

"I wasn't sure just now, but now I'm 100 percent sure. And, I think he's there now."

After exchanging positions, Hong Chen lowered the passenger seat mirror, opened the storage box in front of him full of cosmetics, and quickly put on makeup with skillful movements.

The Brotherhood is a quasi-religious assassination organization that targets people for the revelation of a loom.

But ever since Sloan's name appeared on the loom, the leader of the Brotherhood couldn't understand why the loom wanted to kill him, so he finally and decisively abandoned the belief that had been passed down for thousands of years and began to transform and take orders.

He did not tell anyone in the Brotherhood about this, as he was unsure whether they would be willing to transform with him or follow Loom's instructions and kill him.

The main reason why Hong Chen used the phone to test Sloan was that he believed Sloan would not trust anyone easily. If he did not want to be exposed, he would not give the order-taking phone call to others.

As it turns out, he was right.

Since he won't even answer the phone, you can't trust him with money.

So, he concluded that Sloan must be near that address.

The mission to assassinate Jordan failed. Sloan should have known what Hong Chen looked like, so he needed to disguise himself.

After putting on makeup, she doesn’t need a wig or changing clothes. She looks like a cool woman who pretends to dress in a neutral style.

He has cold white skin, delicate features, a heroic demeanor, and a proud look in his eyes.

"How is it?" Hong Chen looked at Marcus.

Marcus glanced over his shoulder, his eyebrows immediately raised, "Want a drink sometime?"

Hong Chen rolled his eyes at him and called Anna.

"Anna, there will be more people eating later."

"Okay. I found the arms dealer you wanted. He can get all the equipment you want, but he is currently in Eastern Europe."

"Elaborate."

"He's from New York, but he was born in Ukraine. His name is Yuri Orlov. Because the Soviet Union collapsed, he..."
