GOR Chapter 553 Special Couple

In the past 10 hours, Chen Xiaolian had attempted to contact Qiao Yifeng many times . However, all his efforts had failed .

Qiao Yifeng had disappeared .

He returned home to find that Yu Jiajia had also disappeared . Yu Jiajia did, however, left him a letter .

A letter left for him using her identity as his ‘girlfriend’ .

The letter did inform Chen Xiaolian something . Qiao Yifeng was the one who took Yu Jiajia away . Additionally, he appeared very anxious to leave .

Chen Xiaolian sat on the sofa inside his living room for a few hours .

He pondered…

…

“I have already done my best . ”

Fatty cast a helpless look at Aunt Flame and said, “Like I said, I am not a God . I can only figure out the general whereabouts of the signal source, this city . Damn it, this is a provincial capital! It has a population of 10 million! How am I supposed to deduce which one of these 10 million people is the one we are looking for?”

After a pause, Fatty gave a wry smile and said, “Maybe we can try the emergency contact person…”

“Do not forget; I left Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild . They have changed my old emergency contact person . Right now, I have no way to contact any emergency contact person . As for you…”

“My clearance is even lower . I do not even have an emergency contact person . Only field personnel would be given such a thing . ” Fatty smiled bitterly .

“Then stop with the nonsense and keep looking! Use that device of yours; use every ounce of ability and talent you possess to keep looking!” Aunt Flame’s face had taken a grave countenance .

“… … all right . ”

Fatty pulled out something that looked like a tablet from his backpack and plugged in the communication device he was using earlier to it . A few minutes later, Fatty uttered out, “Eh?”

“What is it? Did you find something? Did you find that person?”

“No . ” Fatty raised his head . There was a peculiar expression on his face as he said, “I… … found an acquaintance . ”

“Acquaintance?” Aunt Flame knitted her brows .

“Yes . I had once given this fellow a Storage Watch… … you know me, whenever I modify an equipment, I would always leave behind something like a ‘backdoor’ in them . I had taken out some of its functions later on, but… … I ‘forgot’ to take out an automatic positioning device from it . ” Fatty pulled a sneaky smile .

“This person you gave the Storage Watch to… … he is a member of Zero City?”

“Err… … it is complicated . ” Fatty thought about it and said, “I suppose he is . At the very least, he has a very deep connection with Blade Mountain Flame Sea Guild! Bluesea treats him better than he would his own son… … additionally, he is the boyfriend  of Qiao Yifeng’s daughter . ”

“He… … where is he?”

“In… … this city!” Fatty’s fingers quickly tapped the surface of the tablet before smiling . “Only seven kilometres away from our location!”

…

“What do you think? Do these two know about each other’s secret identities?” Tian Lie and Nicole sat inside a car parked beside the street and they looked across the street at a certain residential building .

Light shone out from the windows of the building .

“Could this be a defection? Did your contact person defect to Thorned Flower Guild?”

“Or maybe your contact person defected to Zero City?”

Nicole and Tian Lie exchanged glances . There were peculiar expressions on both their faces .

“All right, all right . We have already done a background check on them earlier . I had gone to talk with their neighbours and the supermarket personnel . This couple is practically the model couple, the standard law-abiding citizens . As for defection… I don’t think so . Should one of them become exposed, they would not choose to stay and continue living as ordinary citizens . ” Tian Lie shook his head and said, “Thus, I believe this to be a coincidence, a very interesting coincidence . ”

“Fine, I will accept this bizarre explanation for now . ” Nicole looked down the street and abruptly said, “The first objective is here . ”

…

Tom Huggins emerged from the end of the street and walked toward his home .

He had just gotten off work not too long ago . Sitting in the subway for half an hour, he had to endure being squeezed like a sardine in a can .

Although he could afford a car, he did not buy one and kept this ‘environmental friendly’ action of his – his neighbours and friends believed that this was the effect of having a wife with such a passion for charity and environmental protection .

Appearance wise, Tom Huggins did not appear to have any special features . He was of medium-height and slightly fat . That was especially true of his waist area . His nose was somewhat red and there were freckles on his face . His hair was brown in colour . As for his clothes, he wore a rather conservative dark grey trench coat .

His right hand held a briefcase while his left held a folded newspaper .

After reaching the door to his house, Tom Huggins pressed the doorbell and heard a sound coming from inside .

“It’s me!” mumbled Tom Huggins .

The door quickly opened up automatically and he strode inside .

The doors for most of London’s houses were all very narrow . The two of them were not living in some luxurious residence .

Tom Huggins pushed open the unlocked door and walked into the living room .

His wife, Jenny, quickly approached to help him take off his coat and scarf . She hung them on the hanger beside the living room .

“How is it?”

“A terrible day . ” Tom Huggins grumbled, “My boss is an idiot . As for the new writer, she must have depended on her breasts to get to that position . I swear to God I personally saw her sneak out of the boss’ office . Damn it! She cannot even type up a simple report draft… she should go work in The Sun instead of our radio station . ”

“Enough, dear . ” Jenny pecked her husband’s cheek and said, “Wash your hands and get ready for dinner . Our friend is coming soon . Oh right, where are the things I asked you to buy?”

“It is there . ” Tom Huggins pointed at the briefcase he placed on the table . “Don’t worry, I would never forget your requests . ”

Jenny kissed her husband’s cheek once more .

Contrary to her age, thirty plus years old, Jenny appeared very young – this was probably thanks to Zero City’s forces . She must have utilized some special genetic serum, which made her look as though she was only in her twenties . Her charming looks remained on her . Additionally, she also had less wrinkles than her peers .

Jenny pulled out a can of caviar that her husband had just bought from the briefcase and walked back into the kitchen .

Tom Huggins went to the refrigerator and took out a bottle of beer from it . Popping it open, he went to sit down on the sofa in the living room . Then, he turned on the television and watched the sports news .

From all outer appearances, they seemed like a very normal, very ordinary family .

Then, their doorbell rang .

“Go get the door, dear . Our guest is here . ” Jenny’s voice came from the kitchen .

Tom Huggins got up, the can of beer still in his hand and moved toward the door .

The moment he opened the door, he froze .

A firearm was aimed at his forehead .

“Don’t move . You know as well, this is no ordinary gun . Once it goes off, half a building will be destroyed by it . ” Tian Lie stood before the door .

Nicole was standing behind Tian Lie .

Tom Huggins face flickered quickly consecutively .

Tian Lie noted the can of beer in Tom’s hand . Next, his eyes turned to look at Tom’s watch . It looked like an ordinary Tissot watch .

“Raise your right hand and slowly stretch it over,” said Tian Lie coolly .

Tom Huggins took a deep breath and asked, “Who are you people?”

“Cocoa butter cake plus banana chocolate pie,” replied Tian Lie with a smile .

Tom’s face flickered . “You… … you were sent by the guild? Damn it! This is my home! You cannot just come directly to my place of residence!”

“Sorry, I am not one of your guild mates . Just consider me an enemy . ”

Tian Lie’s finger flashed out and Tom Huggins watch suddenly broke . Next, Tian Lie snatched the watch . Lowering his head, he examined it .

“A concealed-type equipment, [B+] class storage equipment . Let me guess, your knightly sword is inside it, right? Knight Ivan?”

Hearing the name ‘Knight Ivan’, Tom Huggins’ face turned extremely ugly to behold .

He took a deep breath before saying in a hushed tone, “I beg you, my wife is just an ordinary human . Do not drag her into this . I will go out with you, I promise I won’t resist… … please?”

Tian Lie sighed . “Truly… … touching . However… … I am sorry, it is not that I want to be an evil person . However, I am unable to agree to your request . ”

A trace of fury flashed across Tom Huggins’ face . He abruptly swung both hands upward and a look of violence instantly appeared on his eyes . However, Tian Lie was faster .

Tian Lie held Tom Huggins’ neck in a chokehold and pushed him down .

“Be obedient and do not resist . I am not here to kill people . ” Tian Lie smiled as he forced Tom Huggins into the house with him . They moved into the house and Nicole, who was behind, closed the door .

“Dear, why are you taking so long? Hurry up and invite our gest in . ” Jenny’s voice came from the kitchen .

After that, Jenny walked out from the kitchen, a plate of sliced fruits in her hand .

The instant she stepped out from the kitchen, she caught sight of Tian Lie pinning her husband to the living room’s wall . Additionally, there was also a gun in Tian Lie’s hand .

As for Nicole, she stood behind Tian Lie while casting a tangled look at her .

Jenny subconsciously cried out . Next, it became clear that she wanted to take action . However, she quickly stopped herself .

“We… … we are just ordinary people . We have no money at home, we do not have any cash! Please do not harm us! We will not resist!” Jenny shouted with an anxious voice .

Nicole sighed . She took several steps forward and slowly spoke to Jenny, “Number TSE77056421 . ”

Hearing Nicole’s words, the expression on Jenny’s face shifted . Her whole body turned stiff . Instantly, like a deflating balloon, she limply leaned back against the wall and cast a complicated gaze at her husband .

Likewise, Tom Huggins was looking at his wife in shock and disbelief .

A few seconds later, Jenny turned to face Nicole . “An emergency?”

“Yes . ” Nicole nodded .
