Chapter 178 Football Manager Polo!
Sarkar's expression changed slightly, but soon returned to normal: "My son? What happened to him? He's just a child. What does he have to do with your investigation?"

"We just want to check on his health," Hans added. "I heard he gets a physical checkup every month, right?"

Sarkar nodded, a barely perceptible worry flashing in his eyes. "Yes, he's been in poor health since he was a child, so I take him for regular checkups to ensure he's healthy."

"So what does the physical examination include?" Lin En continued to ask.

"Just some routine checks, such as height, weight, blood test and so on." Saka answered vaguely.

"Do you want to draw blood?" Hans asked suddenly.

Sarkar was stunned for a moment, then nodded: "Yes, a tube of blood is drawn every month for testing."

Lynn and Hans exchanged a glance, knowing that the blood draw was likely the key to the problem. However, they couldn't question Saka directly, lest they arouse his vigilance.

"Saka, we understand your concerns as a father." Lin En's tone softened. "But, did you know? There are some unscrupulous medical institutions that use children's blood for illegal experiments. We just want to confirm whether your son's medical examination is safe and legal."

Sarkar's expression grew tense upon hearing this. He was silent for a moment, then slowly spoke, "Actually, I've had similar concerns. However, that medical institution is legitimate, with a legitimate license and professional doctors. Furthermore, after each blood draw, they provide me with a detailed report proving my son's health."

Lynn and Hans exchanged a glance, realizing that Saka might not be telling the truth. However, they didn't have enough evidence to expose him. So, they decided to temporarily leave and secretly investigate the medical institution.

Not long after.

Lynn and Hans stood in front of the family doctor's apartment where Saka's son was undergoing a checkup. Sunlight filtered through the sparse clouds, dappling the mottled walls. They exchanged a glance, both filled with anticipation and nervousness. This time, they hoped to uncover more clues about the mutant breeding experiments from this family doctor.

Hans knocked gently on the door, but there was no response. He tried the doorknob and found it was open. The two looked at each other, and a sense of foreboding rose in their hearts.

"It seems we came at the wrong time." Lynn whispered, and at the same time signaled Hans to enter carefully.

The apartment was quiet, the air filled with a faint smell of disinfectant. Lynn and Hans carefully crossed the living room and came to the doctor's office. The office was a mess, with drawers pulled open and documents scattered on the floor. It was obvious that someone had been hastily rummaging through something.

"He ran away." Hans looked around and came to this obvious conclusion.

Lin En frowned, a feeling of frustration welling up in his heart. Could it be that this clue they had finally found was lost just like that? Reluctantly, he began to search the room carefully, hoping to find some useful information.

Hans joined the search and noticed something unusual about a book on the desk. The cover was yellowed and looked quite old, but between the pages lay a crumpled piece of paper. He carefully pulled it out and unfolded it. It was covered with dense handwriting and formulas.

"Lynn, look at this." Hans handed the draft paper to Lynn with a hint of excitement in his tone.

Lin En took the draft paper and examined it carefully. His eyes gradually became serious, because the handwriting and formulas were obviously related to the mutant breeding experiment. He quickly scanned it, trying to find the key information.

"These formulas... look like they're describing some kind of gene editing process," Lynn said solemnly. "Also, there's mention of 'Gene X' here. Isn't that the characteristic gene of mutants?"

Upon hearing this, Hans joined them, and the two began to study the draft paper together. They discovered that it not only recorded the detailed steps of gene editing, but also some experimental data and results. From these data and results, it was clear that this family doctor was helping with the mutant breeding experiment.

"It seems our trip wasn't in vain." Hans breathed a sigh of relief, a smile on his face. "This piece of draft paper is the best proof."

Lin En nodded, but the doubts in his heart did not completely dissipate. He pondered for a moment, then asked, "But why did this family doctor run away? Was he afraid that we would find him, or..."

"Or perhaps the forces behind him have noticed our actions." Hans took over Lin En's words, his tone becoming serious. "If it's the latter, then our situation is dangerous."

Lin En's brow furrowed as he heard this. He knew Hans was right. If they had truly touched the nerves of a powerful force, the subsequent investigation would be even more difficult and dangerous. However, he couldn't give up. He had to get to the bottom of this mutant breeding experiment and seek justice for the innocent victims.

"We need to submit this draft paper to our superiors as soon as possible," Lin En said. "At the same time, we must continue to track down the whereabouts of this family doctor. Since he participated in this experiment, he must know more about the inside story."

Hans nodded in agreement. The two carefully put away their draft paper and left the apartment. They knew the next investigation would be even more difficult and complicated, but they also believed that as long as they persevered, they would be able to uncover the truth behind this mutant breeding experiment.

A few hours later.

Lin En stood in Saka's living room. The sunlight outside the window was completely blocked by heavy curtains, making the room seem unusually dull. Saka sat on the sofa, his hands clenched into fists, his eyes filled with disbelief and anger. What Lin En had just said to him was like a sledgehammer, hitting him hard in the heart.

"You mean, my son... was used?" Saka's voice trembled, and every word seemed to be squeezed out from between his teeth.

Lynn nodded heavily, his eyes filled with sympathy and determination. "Yes, Saka. We discovered that your son, as well as the children of some other players, were involved in an illegal mutant breeding experiment. Their blood was extracted and used for gene editing to breed mutants."

Upon hearing this, Saka stood up abruptly, his eyes blazing with anger. "How is this possible? Who allowed them to do this? My son... he's only five years old!"

Lin En quickly comforted him, "Saka, calm down. The most important thing for us now is to find out the truth about this experiment and rescue all the children involved. Also, I suspect that this experiment may be related to someone on your team."

Saka was stunned. He looked at Lin En in disbelief: "You mean... someone in our team participated in this experiment?"

"We can't be sure yet." Lin En shook his head. "But I suggest you gather the other teammates and ask their children if they have encountered similar incidents. Perhaps we can find some clues from them."

Saka took a deep breath and tried to calm himself. He knew that now was not the time to be angry or sad. He had to do something for his son and all the children involved. So he picked up his phone and started contacting his teammates.

Soon after, several key players from the team gathered at Saka's home. Some were sitting, some were standing, their faces filled with anxiety and unease. When Saka told them what had happened, the room fell silent.

"My child...also participated in that physical examination." One of the players said in a low voice, "I thought it was a benefit provided by the team, so I let him go. I didn't expect..."

"Me too," another player chimed in. "Polo said it was for the child's health, and I was grateful to him! Now thinking about it, I really want to slap myself!"

"Polo?" Lynn keenly caught the name. "Who is he?"

Saka explained: "Porro is our football manager. He is responsible for the day-to-day operations of the team and the players' contracts. It was he who suggested that we take the children for a medical examination."

Lin En's eyes immediately sharpened. "It seems that this Polo is a serious suspect. We need to have a good talk with him." The players all agreed. Their only wish now was to rescue their children and expose this horrific experiment. So, led by Lin En, they went to Polo's office.

Polo's office was spacious and luxurious, with team photos and trophies covering the walls. However, Polo looked particularly embarrassed at this moment, his eyes flickering, and he obviously knew what they were here for.

"Polo, do you have anything to explain?" Lynn asked straight to the point.

Polo smiled calmly, "What explanation? I don't understand what you are talking about."

"Stop playing dumb!" Saka yelled. "We know it was you who suggested we take our children for a physical examination. Now, our children are involved in an illegal mutant breeding experiment. Shouldn't you give us an explanation?"

Polo's face turned pale instantly. He stammered, "I... I just thought the physical examination would be good for the child. I didn't expect... I didn't expect it to be like this."

"Didn't expect it?" Lin En sneered. "There are so many things you didn't expect. For example, you didn't expect us to discover the truth about this experiment; you didn't expect us to come knocking on your door; and you didn't expect that your actions had violated the law and that you would be severely punished!"

Upon hearing this, Polo's body trembled. He knew he could no longer conceal the truth. So, with a trembling voice, he said, "Okay, I admit... I was involved in that experiment. But I was forced into it! They... they threatened me that if I didn't cooperate, they would destroy my career and my family!"

"Who are they?" Lynn asked relentlessly.

Polo hesitated for a moment, then slowly said, "They are... the 'Shadow Organization'. They possess powerful technology and resources, and have been secretly engaged in the breeding and research of mutants. I... I am just a pawn in their hands."

"The Shadow Organization?" The players were horrified upon hearing this. They had heard of this organization and knew it was an extremely dangerous and evil group.

Lin En took a deep breath and said with a firm gaze, "No matter how powerful they are, we must fight them to the end. For our children, for justice and kindness, we must never retreat!"

The next morning, just as the sky was beginning to turn pale, Lin En trudged to Polo's office. His heart was filled with mixed emotions: confusion about Polo's death and deep concern for the "Shadow Organization." He knew that Polo's death was no simple suicide or accident, but rather inextricably linked to the mysterious "Shadow Organization."

When he pushed open the door to Polo's office, a pungent smell of blood hit him. Polo lay quietly on his desk, his eyes closed, his face pale, and a trace of blood at the corner of his mouth. Lin En's heart tightened. He quickly walked to Polo's side and carefully examined his body. Judging from the wounds, Polo had obviously been murdered.

"It seems that Polo's death is not simple." Lin En muttered to himself, his eyes flashing with determination, "I must find out the truth of this matter."

Just as he was about to search Polo's office for possible clues, he heard hurried footsteps outside the door. Then, a figure in a black tights and a veil covering his face rushed in, holding a sharp dagger in his hand and stabbed it straight into Lin En's chest.

Lin En reacted quickly, dodging the blow with a sideways movement. However, the masked man was not about to give up. He swung his body and launched another fierce attack at Lin En. Lin En could only dodge while looking for an opportunity to counterattack.

"Who are you? Why do you want to kill me?" Lin En asked loudly while dealing with the masked man.

The masked man snorted coldly, his voice hoarse and low: "Hmph, you know things you shouldn't know, you must pay the price."

Upon hearing this, Lin En became even more certain that the masked man was connected to the Shadow Organization. He gritted his teeth and fought with all his might. However, the masked man's agility and brutality were so great that Lin En gradually felt powerless.

At this moment, a roar suddenly came from outside the door: "Stop!" Then, Hans's burly figure appeared at the door. His eyes flashed with anger, and he held a hammer in his hand and smashed it hard at the masked man.

Seeing this, the masked man had to give up his attack on Lin En and turned to fight Hans. However, Hans' strength and speed were far beyond his imagination. After a few moves, he was forced to retreat step by step.

"Lynn, are you okay?" Hans asked with concern while fighting with the masked man.

Lin En took a breath and shook his head, "I'm fine, be careful."

Hans responded and launched another fierce attack on the masked man. Knowing he was no match for Hans, the masked man began to retreat. He feinted and took the opportunity to escape towards the door.

"Want to run? Not so easy!" Hans roared, hurling the hammer in his hand. The hammer streaked through the air like a bolt of lightning, striking the masked man squarely on the back. The masked man screamed and fell to the ground.

Lin En took the opportunity to rush forward and ripped off the masked man's veil. However, when he saw the masked man's true face, he was stunned because he didn't recognize this person.

"Who is he?" Lynn looked at Hans in confusion.

Hans also frowned. He looked at the masked man carefully, then shook his head and said, "I don't know him either. However, judging from his skills and moves, he must be a professionally trained killer."

"Killer?" Lin En's heart trembled. "So, he was sent by the 'Shadow Organization' to kill me?"

Hans nodded and said solemnly, "It's very likely. It seems that the 'Shadow Organization' has noticed our actions and they have begun to fight back."

Lin En took a deep breath and said with a firm look, "No matter what, we will not give up. We need to seek justice for Polo's death and those children who were involved in the mutant breeding experiments."

Hans patted Lin En's shoulder and said firmly, "That's right, we will definitely get to the bottom of this. Now, let's hand this killer over to the police and then continue our investigation."

The two men tied up the masked man and called the police. Shortly after, the police arrived and took the masked man away. Lynn and Hans returned to Polo's office and began a thorough search.

Like two sharp cheetahs, Lynn and Hans carefully searched every corner of the slightly messy room in Bologna. The sunlight filtered through the half-closed curtains, dappling onto the floor and adding a discordant warm color to the tense atmosphere.

"Lynn, look at this." Hans' voice came from the desk. He held a yellowed piece of paper in his hand, on which were densely recorded some account information.

Lin En walked over, took the paper from Hans's hand, and examined it carefully. His brows gradually furrowed, and a strange look flashed in his eyes: "Is this... a bank transfer record?"

"That's right." Hans nodded, his finger lightly running across the words on the paper. "And the amount is huge. It looks like it was remitted to Polo from some organization."

Lin En's eyes fixed on a name - "Carlos Chamber of Commerce". This name was not unfamiliar to him, but at this moment it seemed extremely mysterious and dangerous.

"Carlos Chamber of Commerce?" Lin En pondered for a moment, then looked up at Hans. "Isn't this the chamber of commerce with a bad international reputation? How come they have financial dealings with Polo?"

Hans's expression grew serious. "Yes, the Carlos Chamber of Commerce has long been involved in various gray areas, from drug smuggling to illegal arms trafficking. It covers almost everything. Polo's connection to them is definitely not a good thing."
