Chapter 554 - An Impersonated Secret Agent
After the Three Flavour Hall's branch was officially open for business, Su Tao returned to Huainan Province and stayed in Hanzhou City for a few days before he came to Qiongjin Medical University, mainly due to Ling Yu's influence. Even with such outstanding medical skills, Ling Yu still maintained his thirst for knowledge. Thus, Su Tao felt that he had to settle down and occasionally give himself a break from worldly affairs to replenish himself.
Although Qiongjin Medical University's influence was ordinary, the library was rich so Su Tao crammed on western medicine knowledge and also hoped to take a step further in his research with regards to the Supreme Scripture of the Imperial Physician Scripture.
At the same time, He Deqiu was feeling stressed when Su Tao came to learn, despite his experience and status as the Vice-Principal of the School of TCM. He naturally knew Su Tao's real identity, a National Healer. It was a height that He Deqiu would never attain in his lifetime. While feeling honored for having Su Tao as a student, He Deqiu also felt ashamed at himself at the same time.
As for Zhu Ru and Bian Bo, Su Tao already got to know them during the treatment for Nitta Watanabe.
However, Su Tao has always been keeping a low profile. It has been half a month since he started schooling, and he was never late for any lesson. At the same time, he also mixed well with his classmates.
Even if Su Tao requested He Deqiu to keep his identity a secret, there were no secrets that could be kept forever. It turned out that there's another person that knew about Su Tao's true identity, Zhu Ru.
After Nitta Watanabe's incident, Zhu Ru had been paying attention to Su Tao's tracks and became one of his loyal fans. Hence, she was well-aware of Su Tao's tracks, so when Su Tao returned to school, she was actually shocked that someone who had already obtained the National Healer title would still attend school and learn. At the same time, that also meant that Su Tao was someone that strived to make progress and knew how to continuously accumulate himself with knowledge.
From Zhu Ru's clothing and lifestyle, she should have received a good upbringing, and she belonged to those sweet girls with long hair and simple clothes. Although her simple white shirt and jeans didn't stand out, they gave her a refreshing beauty.
When they came out of the block, Zhu Ru noticed Bian Bo dazing off on the stone bench and coughed on purpose. When Su Tao looked over, he was inwardly shocked. It was no wonder that Bian Bo hasn't been showing his face for the past few days, that fellow was beaten to a pulp; his entire face was swollen with medical ointment.
Su Tao also knew why Bian Bo was so vigilant of him. After all, he took the shortcut to become He Deqiu's student, so it's understandable for someone to be jealous of him.
Raising his head, Bian Bo first looked at Zhu Ru before looking at Su Tao. His gaze flickered, but he was no longer as composed as before and sunk down.
"Bian Bo, are you still a man? If you're a man, then come with us!" Zhu Ru hollered.
However, Bian Bo gloomily shook his head and asked, "What are you guys going to do?"
"What else? We're naturally going to look for that Chen Junkai!" Zhu Ru continued to provoke, "Or are you going to watch Zhong Yue slowly falling into his trap?"
As Bian Bo's gaze dissipated, his tone suddenly became emotional, "That's her choice. It's her freedom who she likes to be with, and what has that got to do with me?"
Su Tao knew that Bian Bo has suffered an enormous blow. Under normal circumstances, Bian Bo was someone prideful. Although most of it was just him putting up a strong front, that also meant that he had the burning passion of youth.
Frowning his brows, Su Tao interrupted in the conversation, "Bian Bo is right. Who Zhong Yue likes to be together with has nothing to do with him. But as fellow students and a senior, we still have to show some concern for her. According to what I know, that guy named Chen Junkai is a conman."
"Conman?" Bian Bo was shocked as he looked at Su Tao and asked, "Isn't he a student of national defense?"
"Accurately speaking, he was once a student of national defense. Qiongjin Military Academy has already expelled him." Su Tao said honestly and continued, "If you don't want to see Zhong Yue being cheated, then follow us. According to Chen Junkai's pattern, I can practically confirm that Zhong Yue will be in danger in an hour."
Standing up on his feet, Bian Bo gnashed his teeth. "Then, let's hurry up!"
At this moment, Su Tao was satisfied with Bian Bo's attitude. Although the latter might be hateful, he's still a pretty innocent lad.
After entering the vehicle, Xia Yu first took a glance at Zhu Ru and inwardly exclaimed Su Tao's fortune for women. The latter has never lacked in women around him.
"Let us go and meet this Chen Junkai." Su Tao declared.
When Bian Bo glanced at Liu Jianwei, who was sitting in the front passenger seat and had a deep scar on his face by the corner of his eyes, he secretly gulped down a mouthful of saliva. He could tell that Su Tao was the leader amongst them from how Xia Yu and Liu Jianwei talked to Su Tao. At this moment, Bian Bo realised that there's a massive gap between him and Su Tao, and they're not people of the same world since the latter could command these two ferocious people.
Seeing the traffic light up ahead, Xia Yu handed a phone over. "This is Chen Junkai's social media."
When Su Tao took a glance at it, he saw Chen Junkai wearing a military uniform and laughed, "Wasn't he expelled? Why is he still wearing his military uniform?"
Shrugging his shoulders, Xia Yu replied, "It's easy to swindle by relying on his military uniform. This fellow is a conman, and he has cheated much money over the years. At the same time, not only did he target university students, but he also targeted young married women."
When Su Tao saw the third post on Chen Junkai's social media, that fellow posted, "Another mission today. Every single time I'm on a mission, I would feel a sense of responsibility. I will do whatever it takes to serve my country even at the cost of my own life, regardless of fortune or misfortune upon myself. Wait for my return, my beloved friends!" Along with it, he also included a photo of him making a salute.
"So, how did you manage to add him?" Su Tao curiously asked.
As Xia Yu's lips went crooked, he revealed a sinister smile and replied, "That's easy. This fellow has been searching for people nearby with his social media to look for his next victim, so I purposely created a fake female account and sent a bunch of messages, giving hints of finding friends with benefits, which that idiot immediately added me. I've looked at his social media, and he would occasionally update with a new post of him participating in some special mission and pretend to be a secret agent."
With a faint smile, Su Tao passed the phone to Zhu Ru. When Zhu Ru looked at it, she passed it over to Bian Bo.
Looking through the posts, Bian Bo's face suddenly became a little unsightly as he said, "He has a gun!"
When Su Tao moved over to take a glance at it, it was a photo of Chen Junkai holding a gun aiming with a cool pose.
Breaking out into laughter, Xia Yu exposed, "This photo is the biggest loophole. That pistol is the standard pistol used by America's FBI, Glock 22, that fires 9mm bullets. The ammunition can also be used on Glock 17 and Glock 18. The operation of a Glock 22 is as simple as a revolver, but it's lighter and more powerful. Local police use domestically produced pistols that include Type 54, Type 64, and Type 77, while special agents in the country use Type 59, an imitation of Soviet Union's Makarov pistol that uses 9x18mm Makarov ammunition. That also means that Chen Junkai's Glock 22 is probably just an air gun that he bought online."
"What's an air gun?" Zhu Ru sounded her curiosity.
"An air gun is a toy that uses compressed air to imitate real pistols. However, it has decent lethality. If lead bullets are used, it can be used to hit birds and people." Xia Yu patiently explained.
Hearing Xia Yu's explanation, Bian Bo's scalp started to turn numb when he heard that it could also be used on people. All of a sudden, he started to worry about Zhong Yue's safety.
When the vehicle drove past the traffic light, Xia Yu took out an apparatus with a map and a red mark. This was also the reason why Xia Yu wasn't in a hurry since he had already installed a tracking device on Chen Junkai's vehicle. If Chen Junkai was a genuine special agent, then how could he not have such simple vigilance?
As they tracked Chen Junkai to a western-themed restaurant, Xia Yu saw that BYD disguised as a Mercedes-Benz. Jamming on the accelerator, he purposely collided into the tail of that vehicle.
Within the car, Bian Bo was startled, while Su Tao was baffled. Amongst everyone, only Liu Jianwei maintained a thoughtful expression since he knew the reason why Xia Yu did this.
Chen Junkai had purposely chosen a seat that's by the window with scenery that added to the ambiance. When he ordered a set meal for Zhong Yue, he witnessed a vehicle colliding against his, and his boiling anger instantly crooked his nose.
"You stay here, my car was hit, and I have to deal with it."
Standing up from his seat, Chen Junkai headed outside.
"I'll follow you!" Zhong Yue immediately stood up and followed along. For some reason, she felt that she was somewhat responsible for this incident.
When Chen Junkai went out, his nose turned crooked. There's a massive dent at the tail of his vehicle, while the car that caused the accident only had some of its painting scraped. Whenever Xia Yu was free, he would alter his vehicle. Hence, he ended up putting lots of effort into his car, so it was capable of enduring impact since he had a feeling that his vehicle would be used as a bumper car one day.
Slamming on the window, Chen Junkai hollered, "Get out!"
Sweeping a glance at Chen Junkai, the latter wore a green military outfit. He had a towering structure, thick brows, and big eyes that seemed like a soldier's. However, his physique seemed somewhat weak since his body was weakened by alcohol and sex. Facing such an impersonated 'secret agent,' Xia Yu felt that he could deal with ten of them.
As Xia Yu forcefully pushed his door open, Chen Junkai took half a step back and unhappily asked, "You hit my car, so how do you want to handle this matter?"
"How do you want to handle this?" Xia Yu asked.
At this moment, Bian Bo, Zhu Ru, and Su Tao had also got out of the vehicle. When Chen Junkai saw Bian Bo, he instantly understood what was going on and jumped into a fury. "So it's you, coward! Are you purposely taking revenge on me? It seems like you've not been taught enough of a lesson."
At the same time, Zhong Yue also came out of the restaurant. When she saw Su Tao and Zhu Ru, her face immediately became awkward. The two of them were her Seniors, and she had no idea how to deal with this matter anymore.
Letting out a sigh, Zhu Ru said, "Zhong Yue, we're here to help you. This Chen Junkai is a fake student of the military academy; he was already been expelled by the academy a few years ago."
Knitting her brows, Zhong Yue replied, "He had already told me about this matter. He had to be expelled since he's required to participate in special missions."
But when she noticed Chen Junkai's face starting to change, she immediately shut her mouth since he had warned her not to reveal his identity.
On the other hand, Zhu Ru briefly froze. This liar really knows how to make a logical argument with his lies. At the same time, Zhu Ru instantly had no idea how to explain to Zhong Yue anymore.
Biting on her lips, Zhong Yue said to Chen Junkai in a begging tone, "Why don't I pay for the repair of your vehicle, just don't make things difficult for my Seniors."
As Chen Junkai's expression turned grave, he swept a glance at Xia Yu and Liu Jianwei. He could sense a dense underworld aura coming from the two of them, which he sneered, "Zhong Yue, why would I want your money? It's mainly because I cannot be too high-profiled. After all, they're ordinary people, and I can't touch them so easily."
