From picking up corpses to becoming a true god of America

Chapter 109 Let's just take them out.

Amidst the noise, the classic ringtone of the iPhone sounded so jarring.

The sheriff stared blankly at Ye Chi, his hand gripping the phone trembling slightly.

This must just be a coincidence, right?

The sheriff swallowed hard and decisively hung up the phone.

To everyone's surprise, the phone in Ye Xiao's pocket also stopped working.

Damn it, this time it's definitely not a coincidence.

The police officers present who witnessed this scene were all on tenterhooks.

This unreasonable situation only proves one thing.

This seemingly harmless young man from Tokyo University may very well have murdered an FBI agent and even brazenly stolen his cell phone.

This is no ordinary thug!

"Where did you get this phone?!"

The sheriff's tone was harsh as he pulled out his gun, his voice trembling, and questioned her.

"Bought at the supermarket."

Ye Xiao pretended to take out his phone, but this action startled the police officers.

"You damn bastard! Put your hands up!"

"Don't move! Or we'll shoot!"

'

No, this is considered a dangerous action, right?

Are you worried I'll pull off an American-style iaido?

Although Ye Xiao knows this trick, his gun is still in the room. Is he going to use his phone to kill them?

These highly stressed police officers didn't care about any of that.

The most recent heinous crime in their town occurred twenty years ago.

Where have I ever seen such a dangerous robber?

The atmosphere suddenly became extremely tense.

The two sides remained locked in a stalemate in the cold wind until a sudden, sharp shout broke the suffocating silence.

"Are you all crazy!?"

Will, whom they hadn't seen in a long time, rushed over and hurriedly scolded them.

"Put your guns down, all of you!"

Upon hearing this, the sheriff's face turned green.

He is the head of the local sheriff's office. In this small town, who can give him orders except the mayor?

"Which bastard is it this time?"

The sheriff turned around indignantly, only to see Will pull out his agent badge with a gold shield emblem. His previously arrogant, fat face instantly froze.

Damn it, it's the FBI?!

Hey bastards, why are you taking so long to get here!

The sheriff was both angry and agitated.

"You've finally arrived!"

He quickly approached Will and explained, "Sir, you've finally arrived. We've surrounded those two vicious thugs. What do you think we should do next?"

"What should we do? I want to know what to do too!"

Will was so angry his face turned green.

He wouldn't have wanted to take the lead if it weren't for the urgency of the situation.

Do these idiots even know who they're surrounding?

He's the future brother-in-law of a rising star in the FBI and the head of the Washington State branch.

And the other one is Will's supervisor!

"Put down your guns, they're on our side!"

"What?"

"Are you deaf?!"

The town police officers fell silent, then looked up in confusion, only to see Louise, dressed in her uniform, walking out of the hotel with a smart and capable air.

Upon seeing this, the sheriff, who had been extremely nervous just moments before, was struck dumbfounded and stood frozen in place, as if struck by lightning.

How did she end up here?

Although he was just a small-town sheriff, he had been to big cities like Seattle before, so how could he not know Louise?

"Why are you only arriving now?"

Louise remained expressionless, coldly surveying the crowd.

"director!"

Will stood at attention and saluted, and the other officers also instinctively straightened their backs.

"Sorry, we searched all night and heard there was something going on here, so we rushed over."

Upon hearing Will's explanation, Louise waved her hand dismissively: "Never mind, it's alright, just take us back."

"

"yes!"

Will hurriedly helped Louise into the car, glancing at Ye Chi with some confusion.

A lone man and woman, in this remote motel.

Did something happen between them that went beyond friendship?

Will and the others are still trying to become managers, while Ye Xiao has already become a manager?

Just as Will's gaze toward Ye Xiao began to change, Louise suddenly interrupted his thoughts.

"Will, fill that car with gas, wash it, and take it to my sister."

"car?"

Will glanced at Ye Xiao, and then at the BMW M8 parked beside him, confused. For a moment, he couldn't tell who Louise was referring to.

Unexpectedly, Louise did not return to Seattle, but instead came to Olympic City, which was not far away, to the small building that Ye Xiao had visited last time.

In the conference room, Griffin, dressed like a gentleman whom we had met before, and Charles, with a gloomy expression, were already waiting.

Seeing Louise enter with Ye Xiao, Charles's expression became somewhat subtle, and he said in a sinister tone.

"Louise, are you alright? I heard you were kidnapped?"

"It was just an accident. I didn't expect those thugs to be so lawless."

Louise snorted coldly, showing little courtesy to Charles.

These two veteran FBI agents never really took Louise seriously, thinking she was just a rich girl who came to the country to gain prestige through her family connections.

Just like this incident, the kidnapping of an FBI field chief by robbers was almost a major scandal.

Thanks to Ye Chi's timely rescue, the incident did not cause too much of a problem.

In addition, Louise's congressman father exerted his influence, which allowed all the news to be hidden as if it had never happened.

"We've found the three bodies."

Charles pulled out the autopsy report and said confidently, "The autopsy findings are similar to what you submitted to headquarters before, so it can be basically confirmed that there is some connection between them."

The three Japanese exchange students who kidnapped Louise last night have been brought back by Charles and his group.

The autopsy results showed that there were indeed some mutations in his body, very similar to those of the previous Tomoaki Ozeki.

"It's that Seattle Superman causing trouble again."

Griffin, dressed in a suit, took a deep drag on his cigarette and snorted coldly.

"That filthy guy only dares to use those underhanded tricks and schemes in the shadows."

As he said this, Griffin looked up and stared at Ye Xiao with a subtle expression.

"What do you mean?"

Louise sensed the malice and decisively stood in front of Ye Xiao.

"Stop having those disgusting thoughts of yours, he's mine."

This woman is nice.

She's only been asleep for one night, and she's already so protective of herself.

Ye Xiao felt that the blood and sweat he had shed last night had not been in vain.

Griffin's eyes were clearly hostile just now, indicating that he regarded Ye Xiao as a suspect.

Without Louise's guarantee, Ye Xiao might have faced the infamous Guantanamo Bay prison.

Seeing Louise's firm stance, Griffin smiled contemptuously.

"I just want him to leave. After all, we have a confidential meeting later, and he's not qualified."

"Why should I! Griffin, what exactly do you mean by this?"

"After all, you see, he's not even a full-fledged agent."

Griffin glanced at Ye Xiao: "Or are you trying to protect him?"

Louise clenched her fists, trembling slightly with anger.

"Hmph, you think I wouldn't dare? He—"

Before Louise could finish speaking, she suddenly felt a large hand on her shoulder.

"It's alright, Miss Louise."

Ye Xiao said calmly, "I really can't know about such confidential matters. You two can talk slowly."

After saying that, without waiting for Louise to stop him, Ye Xiao quickly left the conference room.

Will seemed to have been waiting for a long time outside the conference room.

When he saw Ye Xiao come out, he gave an awkward smile, which clearly indicated that it wasn't a good thing.

"Long time no see, Ye."

"Did they send you to keep an eye on me?"

"That's right, you guessed it again."

Will's smile became even more awkward.

Will felt ashamed for betraying his friend twice in a row.

"What would you like to eat for lunch? It's on me."

"Aren't you afraid I'll eat all your child support money?"

"You're a good person, Ye, I believe you wouldn't do that."

"Damn it, being kind gets you bullied, huh?"

Ye Xiao shook his head and followed Will to a long-established restaurant in Olympia City.

Ye Xiao ordered two simple steaks and, while waiting for the food, tried to use his ability to invade Will's mind.

Will, who was smoking a cigarette, was completely unaware that his mind was being shoved full of secrets.

It turns out that Griffin and his colleague hadn't been staying at the branch all along.

Compared to Louise, the more experienced ones are far more insidious.

In this short period of time, we have almost completely investigated the general situation in Seattle.

Especially during the period when Superman suddenly appeared, a considerable number of outsiders came to Seattle.

As far as Will knows, they have a very long list of key suspects.

Ye Xiao's name was prominently listed among them.

However, Ye Xiao was not too worried about this.

One reason is that he handled it well, basically cleaning up the mess.

On the other hand, they relied on Rachel's family.

With the sisters vouching for Ye Xiao, even the FBI would have to be more cautious.

But Ye Xiao couldn't let them investigate so recklessly.

Not to mention what if they actually find out something.

Such meticulous monitoring alone has already affected Ye Xiao's ability to do other things.

Griffin and Charles were like annoying flies, posing no threat to Ye Xiao, but enough to make him feel nauseous for a while.

"Forget it, let's just take them out."

"Hmm, what are you talking about?"

Will paused, feeling as if he had just heard Ye Xiao's voice.

So mind reading also has the function of transmitting sound?

Ye Xiao smiled and asked in return, "Have you done something wrong again? Why are you so suspicious?"

'

"No way, do you think I'm that kind of person?"

Will's gaze darted away, and he quickly changed the subject, saying, "But to be honest, thanks to that Seattle Superman, I've been under a lot less pressure lately."

"You also borrowed money from Mpower?"

"That's right."

Will blushed slightly: "You know my ex-wife. I have to give her and the kids a lot of money every month, and I also owe the lawyer a lot."

"Don't let my current success fool you, I'm actually living a life worse than a dog, sigh—"

Just then, two steaming hot steaks were served.

Smelling the familiar aroma, Will perked up immediately: "Forget all that, let's eat! This place is amazing, I eat here every time I come here."

"it is good."

Ye Xiao cut off a piece of steak and took the opportunity to continue probing Will's mind.

Judging from his expression just now, it seems that Griffin and Charles's plan is definitely not that simple.

As expected, Ye Xiao soon saw Griffin and Charles plotting something.

The robbery of Mpower shocked federal officials and wealthy residents of Seattle.

On the one hand, they were worried about the safety of Seattle, and on the other hand, they coveted Mpower's assets, which were rumored to be worth billions of dollars.

Under this complex pressure, Griffin and Charles worked almost frantically and made great progress.

Based on his previous deeds and after some psychological profiling, they believe that the Seattle Superman is a relatively simple-minded person.

That's why they stood up for the community when it encountered thugs, that's why they attacked Mpower, burned the debt data, and stole the stolen money.

In other words, Griffin and Charles believed that Superman was actually just a bunch of crazy people who worshipped superheroes.

It's just that I don't know what strange method was used to achieve such an unbelievable effect.

Griffin and Charles ultimately concluded that the world is based on science and that superpowers and superhumans are impossible.

So they decided to create a grand spectacle of a hero saving the world.

A train carrying highly toxic chemicals was about to pass near Seattle when it derailed and leaked.

If it cannot be stopped, the consequences will be unimaginable.

Once the news spreads, that kind-hearted superhero will surely arrive at the scene to provide disaster relief.

He would never have known that the disaster relief teams in the vicinity had been almost entirely replaced by elite SWAT teams from the FBI and various counties in Washington state.

To ensure the success of the operation, Griffin and Charles even requested the FBI's most elite action team from the federal government.

All members of this team are veterans who participated in the Middle East wars, and have also served in special forces such as the Green Berets and Delta Force.

He is proficient in everything from pistols to rifles, and even if he only has his hands left, he can snap an enemy's neck.

They are the FBI's carefully cultivated secret weapons, the bloodstained daggers protecting this vast empire in the shadows.

"Hmph."

Upon learning this news, Ye Xiao couldn't help but laugh.

"Ye, what are you laughing at?"

"It's nothing, the steak was delicious, wasn't it?"

Ye Xiao smiled, cut off a piece of beef, put it in his mouth and chewed slowly, feeling the juices burst in his mouth.

So that's why Griffin and the others didn't want me to listen in earlier?

Sometimes Ye Xiao really had to admire the creativity of these capitalist warriors.

In order to force the enemy to appear, they can even be so ruthless to their own people.

If Ye Xiao weren't sitting here eating steak, he would have thought he was in the Middle East or South Vietnam.

Perhaps in Griffin's eyes, those nearby residents were not fellow countrymen at all, but merely dispensable cogs in a massive factory.

However, no matter how meticulously Griffin and his team calculated, they still made a very important mistake.

Ye Xiao was not a superhero enthusiast, nor did he care about the miserable lives of the American people.

Having a federal commissioner like Griffin is a blessing for the American people.

Without them, where would that sweet air come from?

Ye Xiao had even planned to take Beryl, Eileen, and Ayase Haruka on a trip in a couple of days.

As for Seattle, it wouldn't be good if there was no movement at all.

Thinking of this, the fierce glint in Ye Xiao's eyes vanished in an instant.

Let's leave Griffin and Charles with a little surprise.
