After finishing all this, Xiao Han gently exhaled a breath of turbid air.
Even if he could not take these things away, he absolutely could not leave them here any longer, he had to find a way to hide them all.
As night fell, Xiao Han drove a BMW SUV from Li Xiaoya’s neighborhood to the community, then stealthily packed all the documents into the trunk. After finishing all this, he heavily sighed in relief.
Xiao Han decisively drove around in the community.
At last, he chose a spot renowned for its good feng shui—the area under a huge old locust tree in the community. It was a about fifty meters from the community office, far enough to see the lights on in the duty room. Xiao Han parked the car, turned off the engine, then took a spade from the toolbox and quickly began to dig.
He dug a hole large enough and deep enough. Xiao Han decisively placed the heavy iron box into it. Then he began to cover it up. He cleverly moved the excess soil elsewhere. Otherwise, the pile of fresh soil would certainly arouse suspicion.
After finishing everything, Xiao Han even scattered some turf and debris on top. It looked as if no one had ever been there.
“It’s done,” Xiao Han dusted off his hands.
Just as Xiao Han was preparing to leave, suddenly, a shadow emerged from behind him. The figure was ghostly agile, and Xiao Han, despite his agility, had not noticed anyone’s presence until the figure spoke up, “Do you think you can simply walk away without a care by doing this? That you can rest easy now?”
“Who...” Xiao Han immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
“Guess who I am?” from behind, the shadow appeared extremely sinister. The figure wore black clothes and had a black mask covering the face, blending into the darkness so effectively that unless one was very observant, they might completely overlook this shadow.
Xiao Han’s mouth curled into a strange smile as he asked, “Are you following me?”
“Hmph,” the figure scoffed coldly and said, “I just don’t want your father’s life’s work to be destroyed by you just like that.”
“My father’s life’s work?” Xiao Han was momentarily startled.
“Yes!” The shadow sneered coldly, then continued, “All these things have been buried by you in the soil.”
“Who are you talking about?” Xiao Han asked urgently.
“You don’t need to know that right now,” the man replied, then continued, “I just want to tell you, if they can’t find that vial of reagent, they will definitely find a way to get to those documents.
“So... can you tell me where the Potential No. 2 Reagent went?” Xiao Han asked anxiously.
“If I’m not mistaken, and based on my observation of you over the years,” the man’s lips curled slightly, he said, “your father injected the reagent into your body before he died!”
“What?!” Upon hearing this, Xiao Han nearly collapsed onto the ground. He hastily shook his head, “No... it can’t be.”
“Think about it, your academic performance has always been decent,” the man smiled and continued, “You even topped the Wangjiang District middle school exams. Why did your grades plummet after you got to high school, dropping from the top to the very last in class? Yet, two years later, you suddenly became clearheaded again, jumping to the second rank in the whole city’s joint exams. Moreover, you still suppressed your own performance. Don’t you think all this is miraculous?”
“I...” Xiao Han broke out in a cold sweat.
Indeed, Xiao Han himself had also felt an unbelievable magic before. He even believed that such things were simply incredible. But now, thinking about it, maybe it was just like the man said. He had been injected with Potential No. 2 Reagent by his father. But why did all this sound so terrifying, so spine-chilling?
“You don’t need to say anything,” the man smiled, “I won’t harm you, on the contrary, I will protect you!”
“Who are you?!” Xiao Han asked urgently.
The man slightly smiled and removed the black mask from his face. When Xiao Han saw the face, he was stunned, his pupils shrank. He exclaimed, “It’s... it’s you?!”
“Yes, it’s me!” the man smiled faintly.
“Brother Bao!” Xiao Han was dumbfounded. He could never have expected that the man in black in front of him was Brother Bao, a figure from the underworld in Wangjiang District. Xiao Han quickly asked, “How could it be you?”
“Surprised?” Brother Bao chuckled, then continued, “I used to be your father’s assistant, and later, I followed him to Linjiang City. Your dad lived incognito, and I did the same. I mixed in the underworld; your dad joined a state-owned enterprise. Just like that, over ten years passed. However, a few years ago, they suddenly found your father and demanded the reagent. I guess it was then that your father decided to inject the reagent into your body, hoping he could witness the effects of Potential No. 2 in his lifetime. Unfortunately, your father never got to see it, as he was ultimately persecuted to death by them.”
