A swift and decisive victory in the early stages, a post-apocalyptic survival story in America!

In the basement of the Chandler's house.

Noah's expression changed, and he simply nodded: "Yes, sometimes clients take organs with them, and I have to handle the aftermath..."

Li Qi smiled and nodded, then asked, "What do you do after dissolving it?"

"I will drive a truck with different license plates to transport these solutions to different locations, and then release them into the river separately..."

Li Qi gave a thumbs up: "That's a good idea. This isn't the first time you've done this, is it?"

Noah wasn't particularly embarrassed, readily admitting, "This kind of thing happens all the time..."

Li Qi then asked, "Are you aware that a ship is about to arrive at the port?"

Noah's eyes flickered, and when he saw Li Qi's raised middle finger, he hesitated, as if he wanted to say something but couldn't.

Li Qi smiled and said, "This is the last question. Answer truthfully and I'll let you go, otherwise..."

Noah no longer believed him; he always said it was the last question...

Seeing that Li Qi was about to lose his temper, Noah quickly replied, "Yes, yes, there is an international superstar who has aged terribly. He wants to pay 100 million US dollars for a youth package. Nick has been planning this for almost a year and is finally about to succeed. Unexpectedly, Nick had an accident."

"Nick has always been in charge of contacting the cargo ship; I haven't been able to get in touch with them, so..."

Li Qi interrupted him, saying, "Tell me the name of this international superstar."

With hope of survival, Noah Chandler didn't hesitate to reveal his client's name.

"You have absolutely no business integrity..." Li Qi said with a look of disappointment, circling Noah halfway around before casually tapping him on the back of the head.

Li Qi used enough force, but Noah Chandler did not faint because of the effects of the Life Capsule. He just knelt on the ground, his head pressed against the spread-out plastic sheet, groaning incessantly.

"Why...why..." Noah Chandler looked at Richie with resentment, thinking that he had changed his mind.

Li Qi picked up a utility knife from a nearby shelf, cut the self-locking nylon cable ties binding Noah's hands, squatted down, and said, "Where I came from, there's a popular internet meme that I'd like to share with you."

Noah struggled to get up, but Richie shook his head, pointing the pistol at his head: "No, no, no, darling, stay here, don't move, wait until I leave you before you get up."

Noah Chandler rubbed his aching wrist, too afraid to get up. His eyes darted around, clearly he was planning something.

Li Qi didn't take it seriously and threatened, "I'll let you go this time, but don't let me see you again, or I'll definitely kill you."

Upon hearing this, Noah Chandler pressed his face to the ground and wept with joy. Who wouldn't be overjoyed to be alive?

He looked around, searching for possible opportunities.

The gun is in the vault, and the door is open. If I'm fast enough...

Before Li Qi could take a second step, he suddenly turned around and squatted down again: "Hey, Noah, we meet again!"

Noah Chandler stared wide-eyed, his face filled with disbelief.

With a pistol pressed against the back of Noah Chandler's head, Li Qi pulled the trigger without hesitation.

The bullet pierced the back of Noah Chandler's head, and a red and white mass burst open on the spread-out plastic sheet.

"I have to say, after experiencing it firsthand, I found this internet meme to be quite interesting."

Li Qi stood up with a sigh, found a plastic protective suit, wrapped himself up tightly, and began to handle the scene, following Noah Chandler's old method.

It must be said that Noah Chandler's method was really effective.

It was a bit tough, though.

Li Qi didn't return to Nick Grant's secret hideout until 3 a.m., after a long day of work.

Despite being exhausted, Li Qi still dared not rest. He took away the three attackers' cell phones and identification documents and went to the basement to visit Lola.

Lola's pretty eyes were bloodshot; she was clearly very sleepy, but she was still persevering.

A large pot of hot coffee was almost empty; she had managed to keep going until now, and was nearing her limit.

Li Qi went over and hugged her, asking with concern, "How far have we gotten?"

Laura relaxed, leaning against her lover's chest, and sighed, saying, "I haven't really looked through it carefully, I've just been organizing and summarizing, and I've only finished less than 70% of it so far. I'm afraid it will take another day to organize everything..."

"Don't bite off more than you can chew. We don't have much time. Take only the documents you think are important, and leave the rest behind!"

Laura gently shook her head: "These documents are crucial to ICE and cannot be easily abandoned. I have an idea; take a look and see if it's suitable."

"you say."

Laura hesitated before saying, "I'll report this place to Maeve and have her arrange for someone to take over..."

Li Qi frowned: "Then how do you explain the corpses outside?"

Lola shrugged. "I can take down five heavily armed thugs, and three mediocre ones, so it's not unreasonable, is it?"

Li Qi thought about it and agreed with her method.

This place is related to an internal scandal within ICE. If Laura were to take it away alone, it could very well lead to her death.

She had a close relationship with Maeve, and she felt she should share some of the credit with her boss.

He was only after money, while Lola only wanted to save people. Since they had the same goal and each got what they wanted, there was no need to worry about Lola being suspected of murder.

As a high-ranking ICE agent, killing criminals while investigating leads is not a particularly remarkable event.

With that thought in mind, Li Qi nodded: "Then it's decided. I'll move the money and weapons away first, and then you can report this to your superiors."

Lola pulled out a USB drive: "This contains important data that I copied, as well as photos of some important paper documents. I'll leave it here for safekeeping."

Li Qi was even more impressed; this pretty girl was quite clever!

Such a big secret can't be kept without a backup plan. What if Maeve uses you and then abandons you? You'll be dead without even knowing how you died.

After putting away the USB drive, Li Qi began packing. He filled two bags with US dollars, wrapped the rest in a bed sheet, and carried them away. He also took all the gold bars, weapons, and ammunition without leaving a single item behind.

After loading these items into his Mercedes GL550, Richie drove away and found a 24-hour private storage facility between Chandler's house and the Hancock Park neighborhood. Following Nick Grant's example, he rented two private storage units.

This could be considered "a cunning rabbit has three burrows," right?

After locking the car in the warehouse, Li Qi left on foot, took a taxi to Nick Grant's secret base, and drove off in his Dodge pickup truck.

As the car started and drove away, Richard called Lola: "Honey, you can let Maeve know now."

On the other end of the phone, Lola agreed, hung up, and dialed her boss Maeve McCallister's cell phone.

In the early hours of the morning, Maeve, clearly still half asleep, answered the phone and mumbled, "Dear Lola, what time is it? Don't you think this is inhumane?"

Laura quickly said, "Maeve, I've discovered Nick's secret hideout..."

Maeve immediately snapped to attention and said, "Wait there, I'll gather the men right away!"

After hanging up the phone, Lola let out a long sigh, reviewed the "process" she had discussed with Li Qi, and after confirming that everything was correct, went to the front hall, opened the door, and waited for her ICE colleagues to arrive.

Forty minutes later, a convoy of police cars arrived at high speed with flashing lights.

Looking at her colleagues who got out of the car with mournful expressions, Lola sighed inwardly, wondering how many people's sweet dreams Maeve had disturbed.

Maeve strode in first, waving to stop her entourage: "Outer perimeter security. No one is allowed to enter without my permission!"

As Maeve entered with Lola, the pungent smell of blood made her frown.

When she climbed the escalator, she was even more amazed.

"You discovered this?"

Lola was a little embarrassed, but she shrugged and readily admitted it.

What's the difference between what your lover discovers and what you discover yourself?

Maeve clearly didn't believe it, but she didn't say anything more and went into the basement with Lola.

Looking at the empty shelves, Maeve frowned and fell into deep thought.
