Chapter 19 The Mysterious Masked Man
Chapter 19 The Mysterious Masked Man
Wang Hong sat in his seat looking at him. When their eyes met, he quickly raised his hand and snapped his fingers silently.
"I will never smoke in places where there are other people again." Ye Yao's voice reached the smoker's ears like a demonic whisper.
The latter's extremely agitated emotions subsided instantly.
His struggles ceased, and he was immediately pinned to the ground by several men.
"What are you going to do?" he asked, looking at the people with a terrified expression.
At this moment, his previous memories had disappeared, and in his eyes it was as if he had been suddenly arrested.
"Stop arguing, let's wait until the police arrive!" The driver indignantly pulled out his phone and called the police.
It's rush hour, and there are many traffic police officers on duty nearby.
Within two minutes of receiving the report, two traffic police officers arrived on motorcycles and temporarily handled the matter.
Upon seeing the traffic police arrive, the officers released the smoking man.
Upon regaining his freedom, the man immediately pointed angrily at the group and said to the traffic police:
"Police officers, I didn't do anything! These people just suddenly tackled me to the ground! You have to help me!"
His words immediately infuriated those around him.
There are people here. From the moment Wang Hong stopped him from smoking until now, he's the only one acting crazy, and now he's trying to turn the tables.
Everyone immediately exclaimed that he was shameless!
The bus driver was clearly short-tempered and immediately asked the traffic police to check the onboard surveillance footage.
While they were watching the surveillance footage, the police officers from the local police station arrived and decided to take the smoking man along to watch it as well.
The driver wasn't very familiar with this thing, so the traffic police had to study it for a while before they were able to retrieve the surveillance footage.
"Let me make this clear first: if I haven't done anything, you'd better apologize. I'm going to sue you all one by one!" Before watching the surveillance footage, the smoking man looked agitated, as if he had been greatly wronged.
In his memory, he had simply smoked a cigarette by the roadside!
The surveillance cameras on the bus won't capture him smoking on the roadside, so there's nothing to be afraid of.
Soon, the surveillance footage was released, clearly showing the smoking man suddenly attacking Wang Hong in the car and then trying to grab the fire extinguisher.
Upon seeing the video, the smoking man looked incredulous; his expression was incredibly genuine, as he genuinely had no recollection of it.
"Is there anything else you want to say?" The police officer recorded the surveillance footage with his body camera, then turned to look at the man smoking.
The latter turned pale and was speechless; faced with the evidence, he had no way to deny it.
"If not, come back with us to assist with the investigation." The police then called Wang Hong over.
After all, he was also a party involved.
Wang Hong was still looking at his control panel.
[Profession Quest: Within a limited time, hypnotizing more than ten people will randomly grant you a permanent trait. (5/10)]
It also improved some of its mental and other attributes.
There's also an upgrade progress bar: 48/50.
We're just one person away from upgrading.
Suddenly he felt someone touching him. He turned his head and saw a man sitting next to him wearing a mask and a baseball cap.
"The police are calling you," the man whispered a reminder.
Wang Hong then came to his senses and quickly got up and walked over there.
As soon as he started walking, everyone realized that he suffered from a leg ailment, and they couldn't help but feel even more condemnation of the smoking man.
"No wonder he was so fierce, it turns out he's disabled."
Seeing this, the police officer felt a little embarrassed and quickly asked Wang Hong to sit down in the seat next to him.
After asking a few simple questions, the questioning of Wang Hong ended.
"Do you need a medical examination?" the police officer asked finally.
"No need, he didn't hit me. I just want to get to work now, I'm going to be late." Wang Hong's words made many people on the bus nod in agreement.
It's already past 8:30, and people who start work at 9 are almost late.
"That'll be handled simply then, thank you for your cooperation." The police officer nodded, and then left with the smoking man along with the traffic police.
The buses have finally resumed normal operation.
The driver was probably a bit agitated by what had just happened, and he was driving rather recklessly, passing several bus stops at top speed.
We managed to get all the passengers to their destination before 9 a.m.
The final stop is called "Hongda Building".
The remaining dozen or so passengers got off at this stop.
Some people went to Blue Whale World Shopping Mall, while others, like Wang Hong, went to Hongda Group.
As Wang Hong got off the bus and entered Hongda Group, someone was staring at his back from the bus stop.
The man was none other than the one wearing a mask on the bus; his eyes, now visible, were filled with confusion.
He boarded the train at the stop before Wang Hong.
He always sat in the last row by the window.
He had no interest what was happening in the car.
But when Wang Hong used his ability, a certain device on his body started to vibrate.
Then, when he reached out to touch Wang Hong, he also brought the instrument closer to Wang Hong, and sure enough, the instrument vibrated even more violently.
He then followed Wang Hong all the way to the final stop.
He remembered the name of Hongda Group, which Wang Hong had joined, and then picked up his phone to send a message on WeChat.
"On bus route M449, a young and capable individual was spotted during commuting hours. His workplace is Hongda Group."
"Because the destination is Hongda Group, we are unable to enter for investigation. We request that our superiors assign a specialist."
After saying that, the masked man took another picture with his phone and then walked to a coffee shop in the mall next door.
"American style, mild."
Upon hearing his words, the clerk paused, thinking he had misheard: "Are you sure you want a warm Americano?"
"That's right." The masked man nodded.
After confirming his identity, the clerk made him a lukewarm Americano, thinking to himself as he did so, "Is a lukewarm Americano even fit for human consumption?"
As a coffee shop employee with three years of industry experience, he has tasted all kinds of coffee, including Americano without ice.
Good heavens, he spat it out immediately, giving Wen Meishi a critique: "Inhuman."
But this doesn't seem to include the man wearing a mask.
After receiving the coffee, he took off his mask and drank it in large gulps, as if he were savoring something delicious.
So fast, the coffee was gone before even the staff could see what he looked like.
By the time he finished his coffee, he had finally received a reply to his message.
"Two C-rank ability users have been dispatched to investigate. Please cooperate with them in gathering information about this person. The following is the information of the C-rank ability users."
"Chen Yong, a C-level ability user, specializes in mental charm and ability concealment."
"Zhang Tao, a C-level ability user, is skilled in close combat and assassination."
After obtaining information about the two ability users, the masked man was somewhat annoyed: "I'm just an ordinary person providing information, why am I being counted in...?"
But this was an order from his superiors, and he had no choice but to obey.
