Lynn and Ward's first encounter
The boss frowned and said after a moment of silence: "Lynn, you should know who Ward is. He is not only a shipping tycoon, but also has a deep political background. Without sufficient evidence, we cannot easily search him."
"I understand your concerns, sir." Lynn explained hurriedly, "but we don't have more time. New drugs are rampant in the market, and innocent people are harmed every day. We must take action as soon as possible!"
The boss sighed and shook his head: "Lynn, I admire your sense of responsibility, but this matter involves too many complicated factors. We can't take risks."
"But sir..." Lynn wanted to argue, but was interrupted by the boss waving his hand.
"Okay, Lynn. I will seriously consider your proposal, but now I need time to weigh the pros and cons." The boss said, "You go out first."
Lynn reluctantly left the office. He knew that his boss's concerns were not unreasonable, but his inner sense of justice drove him not to give up. He decided to find another way and must uncover the secret of Ward's warehouse.
Just as Lin En was thinking hard, an unexpected phone call broke his thoughts. It turned out to be from his friend and partner Hans.
"Lynn, I just got some news that may help our case." Hans' voice revealed a hint of excitement.
"What news? Tell me!" Lin En asked eagerly.
"According to my informant, Ward has a large transaction coming up soon, and the transaction will take place in his mysterious warehouse." Hans said, "This may be a good opportunity for us to sneak into the warehouse."
Lin En's eyes lit up after hearing this: "This is really good news! We have to plan it well."
The two discussed for a long time and finally made a careful plan. They decided to disguise themselves as the transaction party on the day of the transaction and sneak into the warehouse to secretly collect evidence.
However, the night before they were about to act, an accident happened. Ward suddenly announced the cancellation of the transaction and strengthened the security measures in the warehouse. This undoubtedly brought huge obstacles to Lin En and Hans' plans.
"Damn it! This Ward is so cunning!" Lynn angrily punched the table, "What should we do now?"
Hans thought for a moment and said, "Maybe we still have a chance." He looked at Lynn, "Do you remember the gangster we caught before? He may know some of the internal situation of Ward's warehouse."
Lynn nodded after listening, "You're right! Let's go find him now!"
The two quickly drove to the detention center and found the gangster who had been caught before. After some coercion and inducement, the gangster finally gave in and revealed some important information about Ward's warehouse.
It turned out that there was a hidden secret door inside Ward's warehouse that led directly to his private office. And that was where Ward hid the new drugs.
After getting this key information, Lynn and Hans decided to act immediately. They successfully sneaked into the warehouse using the clues provided by the gangster and found Ward's private office.
Ward was not present at this time, but the office was full of various drugs and transaction records. Lynn and Hans quickly took photos for evidence and prepared to evacuate the scene.
However, at this moment, the alarm sounded suddenly. It turned out that their actions were discovered by the warehouse's security system. A large number of armed security guards quickly came to surround them.
"Run!" Lynn shouted, pulling Hans towards the exit. The two started a thrilling chase in the warehouse. They used the obstacles and architectural features in the warehouse to deal with the security guards for a long time, and finally found a breakthrough and escaped.
The night was as dark as ink, and the streets of Manhattan were particularly quiet. Based on the previous intelligence, Lynn and Hans quietly went to Ward's warehouse to investigate. They knew that this trip was dangerous, but the belief in justice drove them forward.
The two shuttled through the dim streets and alleys, and suddenly, a strange breath spread. Lynn and Hans looked at each other and felt something unusual.
"Be careful, there is a situation." Lynn reminded in a low voice.
As soon as the voice fell, several figures rushed out from the dark and blocked their way. These people looked different from ordinary people, and were obviously mutants under Ward.
"Who are you? Why did you break into our territory?" A leading mutant asked coldly, his voice was hoarse and low, revealing unquestionable majesty.
Lynn and Hans did not answer, they knew that any words were superfluous at this moment. The two exchanged glances tacitly and then entered the fighting state.
Seeing this, the mutants also took attacking postures. A fierce battle was about to break out.
A cunning flashed in the eyes of the leading mutant, and he suddenly waved his hand, and a wave of energy attacked Lynn. Lynn reacted quickly, dodged the attack with a sideways roll, and pulled out the pistol at his waist to fight back.
Hans was entangled with another mutant. He was agile and hit the opponent accurately with every punch. But the mutant's body was extremely tough and did not seem to be affected much.
The battle entered a white-hot stage, and the two sides fought back and forth, and it was difficult to tell. Although Lin En and Hans cooperated well, they still felt a little tired when facing these mutants with special powers.
"This is not a solution. We have to think of a countermeasure." Lin En shouted to Hans while dodging the attack.
Hans nodded, and he quickly thought about the response strategy. Suddenly, he noticed that the leading mutant always kept a certain distance in the battle, as if he was controlling the actions of other mutants.
"Lynn, you cover me, I'll deal with the leader!" Hans shouted and rushed towards the leading mutant.
Seeing this, Lynn immediately increased his firepower to create opportunities for Hans. The pistol in his hand was like the scythe of the god of death, and every shot made the mutants tremble.
Hans took the opportunity to approach the leading mutant and subdued him to the ground with a swift pounce. The leading mutant struggled to resist, but Hans' strength was far beyond that of ordinary people, and he pressed him firmly to the ground and could not move.
Seeing this, the other mutants stopped attacking one after another, and they seemed to be shocked by the control of the leading mutant. Lynn also took the opportunity to put away his pistol and walked to Hans' side.
"Say! Where is Ward? Where is the new drug hidden?" Hans asked sharply.
The leading mutant just sneered: "Do you think you can find Ward if you catch me? Don't dream!"
Lin frowned, he knew that asking like this would not lead to any results. So, he signaled Hans to take him back to the FBI headquarters for interrogation.
The two took the leading mutant away from the scene, but they knew that this was just the beginning. Ward's power was huge and complex, and it was not easy to thoroughly expose his crimes. However, the belief in justice supported them to move forward, and they would not give up no matter how great the difficulties they encountered.
On the way back to the FBI headquarters, the leading mutant suddenly broke free from his restraints, and he pounced on Hans to try to regain the initiative. Hans reacted quickly and kicked him to the ground with a side kick. The leading mutant roared and attacked again.
This time he rushed directly to Lin, as if he wanted to threaten Hans by catching Lin. But is Lin an ordinary person? He nimbly dodged the attack of the leading mutant and hit him in the abdomen with a backhand punch.
The leading mutant bent down in pain, but he did not give up resistance. He struggled to stand up, and his hands condensed a powerful energy wave to attack Lynn and Hans.
"Be careful!" Hans shouted, pulling Lynn to dodge quickly. The energy wave exploded behind them, raising a cloud of dust.
The leading mutant took the opportunity to escape, but how could Lynn and Hans let him escape easily? The two quickly chased him and started the final battle with the leading mutant.
After a fierce battle, the leading mutant was finally completely subdued by the two. He slumped on the ground and gasped, his eyes full of reluctance and anger. Lynn and Hans smiled at each other. They knew that this victory was hard-won, but it also laid a solid foundation for the subsequent actions.
"Let's go, we still have a long way to go." Lynn looked at the leading mutant and said, "I hope you can cooperate with us to find Ward and the new drugs."
The leading mutant did not speak, but his eyes had revealed a trace of hesitation.
The next day.
Lynn stood in front of the gate of Ward Company and took a deep breath. He knew that what he was going to face next would be a tough battle. Ward, the shipping tycoon, was not only financially strong, but also known for his cunning and wit. It was not easy to get useful information from him. But Lynn still decided to meet him in person, even if it was just to test the waters.
He straightened his collar and walked into Ward Company with a firm step. The receptionist at the front desk saw Lynn and asked politely, "Sir, what can I do for you?"
"I am Lynn from the FBI. I have something to discuss with Mr. Ward." Lynn showed his ID and spoke in a serious tone.
The receptionist became nervous as soon as she saw that it was someone from the FBI. She quickly picked up the phone and informed the internal department of the situation. After a while, a middle-aged man in a well-dressed suit came out. It was Ward.
"Mr. Lynn, I am sorry for not welcoming you." Ward smiled, but his tone revealed a bit of vigilance.
"Mr. Ward, you're welcome. I just came to chat with you." Lynn tried to make the atmosphere more relaxed, but he knew that this conversation would never be simple.
The two came to Ward's office. Ward motioned Lynn to sit down and poured him a cup of tea.
"Mr. Lynn, I wonder what you came to see me for today?" Ward spoke slowly, with a shrewd light in his eyes.
Lynn picked up the teacup, took a sip, and then put it down. He looked directly into Ward's eyes and said, "Mr. Ward, we have recently received some reports that your company may be involved in some illegal activities. Of course, I know you are a busy man, so I came to you to verify it."
Ward frowned slightly when he heard this, but soon regained his composure. He chuckled and said, "Mr. Lynn, you also know that there are always some rumors in the business world. But I can assure you that my company has always been operating legally and has never been involved in any illegal activities."
Lynn nodded, as if he was not surprised by Ward's answer. He changed the subject and continued, "So, Mr. Ward, what do you think of the new drugs that have appeared on the market recently?"
Ward's face changed slightly, but soon returned to normal. He shook his head and said, "Mr. Lin, you really asked the wrong person this question. I am just a businessman, and I avoid such illegal things."
"Oh? Is that?" Lynn's mouth curled up with a meaningful smile, "But I heard that someone has found traces of this drug in your warehouse."
Ward's face finally changed completely. He suddenly stood up and said in a stern tone: "Mr. Lynn, please don't swear! How could there be that kind of thing in my warehouse? If you have evidence, just take it. Come out! If not, please leave now!”
Lynn also stood up and looked at Ward. He knew that he had not obtained conclusive evidence this time, but just wanted to test Ward's reaction. Now it seems that Ward is indeed not simple, and his reaction is elusive.
"Mr. Ward, don't be excited. I've just heard of it, and there is no conclusive evidence." Lynn said slowly, "But I believe that one day we will find evidence. At that time, I hope you will still Can be as calm as it is now.”
Ward took a deep breath and tried to calm himself down. He sat down again, looked at Lynn and said, "Mr. Lynn, I welcome you to investigate at any time. But I can guarantee that you will not find anything."
Lynn smiled and said nothing. He knew that the contest had just begun and there was still a long way to go to really expose Ward's crimes. But he also firmly believes that as long as he persists, the truth will be revealed to the world.
After the two talked about a few more irrelevant topics, Lynn stood up and said goodbye. Ward sent him to the door, still having a polite smile on his face, but a little coldness appeared in his eyes.
Lynn walked out of Ward's door and looked back at the towering building. He knew that the struggle was far from over. Although Ward temporarily escaped this disaster, the FBI will never give up on his investigation. And Lynn is also determined to bring this sinister sea transport tycoon to justice.
In Ward's private office, the atmosphere was extremely tense. The thick curtains were tightly closed, blocking the light from the outside, and only the lamps on the table emitted a dark light. Ward sat behind the wide desk, frowning with a sinister light flashing in his eyes.
"That Lynn, he's not simple." Ward's voice was low and hoarse, revealing an unquestionable majesty. "He has hindered our plans many times, and if he keeps this going, our situation will be Very dangerous."
Standing in front of Ward was one of his capable subordinates, a burly and fierce-faced man. He listened to Ward's words, and a ruthless expression appeared on his face: "Boss, what do you mean..."
Ward raised his hand and made a cut-off gesture: "We have to get rid of him if possible."
A trace of surprise flashed in the eyes of the man under his command, but he was soon replaced by cruelty and cunning: "I understand, boss. I will do this in person and guarantee that there will be no trace left."
Ward nodded, with a satisfied smile on his face: "Very good, I know you won't let me down. Remember, you must do it neatly and not let anyone notice our movements."
"Yes, boss." The man under his command responded respectfully and turned around to leave.
However, at this moment, the office door was suddenly pushed open, and a hurried voice came: "Mr. Ward, it's not good! Lynn..."
Ward and his men were both startled and turned around quickly. I saw a panting little brother standing at the door, his face full of horror.
"What's wrong with Lynn?" Ward asked in a deep voice, a foreboding feeling surged in his heart.
The younger brother said hesitantly, "Linn...he already knows our plan and is now taking people to the company."
"What?!" Ward suddenly stood up, his face turned pale. "How is this possible? Our plan has always been very secretive, how could he know?"
The man under his command also showed a panic look: "Boss, what should I do now? If Lynn really brings people here, we..."
Ward took a deep breath and forced himself to calm down. He knew that panic at this time would only put himself in a more dangerous situation. He pondered for a moment, then made a decisive decision: "Quickly, inform everyone and evacuate the company immediately. We can't let Lynn catch any evidence."
"Yes, boss." The man and his younger brother responded and quickly turned around and left.
Ward looked at their departure backs, a vicious light flashing in his eyes. He knew that this battle with Lynn had reached a critical moment. If you can successfully escape and get rid of Lynn, the road ahead will be bright. But if it fails... he dare not imagine the consequence.
The next day, before the morning sunlight had completely dispelled the morning mist, Lynn's phone rang in a hurry. He quickly picked it up, and an anxious voice from his colleagues in the police station came from the receiver: "Lynn, a vicious case occurred in the East District. The family of three was brutally killed in the villa. Come and have a look!"
Lin Neng's heart sank suddenly. He quickly grabbed the car keys on the table and walked out of the house quickly. Along the way, possible crime scenes kept flashing in his mind, and he secretly prayed in his heart, hoping that this case would not be related to those mutants.
After arriving at the scene, Lynn was shocked by the tragic situation in front of him. The door of the villa was open, and several pale police officers stood at the door, and they were obviously scared by the bloody scene. Lynn walked into the house and saw three corpses lying on the floor of the living room. Their bodies were covered with various wounds, and blood was flowing all over the ground, which had solidified into black and red.
"Hans, what do you think?" Lynn turned to look at his partner beside him. Hans was an experienced detective whose judgment could often provide important clues for solving the case.
Hans frowned and squatted down to carefully examine the wounds on the bodies. After a moment, he stood up and said in a serious tone: "These wounds are not like those caused by ordinary humans. They are most likely caused by mutants. Look here," he pointed to the wound on the neck of one of the dead, "this kind of tearing wound is obviously caused by someone with great power."
