Chapter 161: Can’t Hide It Anymore, The Codename of the Organization Leader—K

In the silent room, where even a pin drop could be heard, the quiet was broken by the deliberately lowered voice of the Poison.

This caused Lin Tian and Gao Chao, who had been quietly worried that the poison wouldn’t pick up the phone, to instinctively exhale in relief.

But the next moment… they clenched their fists again.

Although the poison had picked up the phone, it was still uncertain whether, after Su Ming imitated Rose’s voice and spoke, the lack of the organization’s code would completely expose them.

Earlier, they had simply speculated that this drug trafficking organization used a fixed number of seconds after the phone rang or after the call was connected to verify whether the person on the other end was a member.

But that was only a speculation.

If this organization didn’t use these two methods to verify, but instead used some other specific code, it would immediately alert the poison…

That Rose had already been captured, and even her phone had been confiscated.

The tension in the atmosphere was no less than before, and Lin Tian and Gao Chao both instinctively held their breath.

However, compared to their nervousness, Su Ming was completely calm, holding the phone with no change in his expression, and expertly imitating Rose’s voice, he spoke.

“Big deal? There’s nothing major.”

“Right now, those people’s focus and attention are on Gusu. As long as you’re not caught, there’s no major problem.”

As soon as the words were spoken, a forced and awkward laugh came from the other end of the phone, followed by the poison’s rebuttal.

“Rose, I really couldn’t help it.”

“Why did those dogs follow me so closely? I never expected… after abandoning the case for years, it would suddenly be dug up again.”

“It’s all that idiot sculptor’s fault. If he had just dealt with the doctor properly back then and not provoked the cops, we probably wouldn’t be in this mess.”

“Fortunately, Boss K is helping. He’s fully monitoring those dogs’ movements.”

“If not… I’d probably be arrested in the villa by now.”

Hearing the poison’s attitude, Su Ming squinted his eyes, already certain in his mind. Just as he had speculated earlier, this drug organization verifies calls based on the number of seconds after the phone connects.

Although this was a one-way verification, when combined with each member’s unique voice and internal information, it was actually a very reliable method.

Unfortunately, this method had already been figured out by him.

Despite thinking about this, Su Ming quickly extracted important internal organizational information from the poison’s words.

Boss K, the sculptor, those dogs…

In the next second, Su Ming immediately took advantage of this information and, combining it with his earlier assumption about Rose’s personality, mocked with the tone she might use.

“You’re still alive and still picking up the phone. If you hadn’t been so arrogant back then, you probably wouldn’t be running from those dogs now.”

“Let’s talk about business.”

“I just got a call from K. He’s going to make a few new human skin masks for you. They should be ready by tomorrow.”

“Though I don’t know if the masks will still be useful against that special task force, but according to K’s words, it’s still worth trying.”

“So give me the address, and I’ll figure out how to get them to you tomorrow.”

As these words fell, Lin Tian and Gao Chao exchanged a look, both silently expressing their astonishment, speechlessness, and tension.

They were amazed at how quickly Su Ming figured out the leader’s name, leaving the poison unaware of any issues.

The speechlessness stemmed from Su Ming’s earlier use of “those dogs” when referring to the police. While they knew it was meant to make the poison drop its guard, it still made them feel awkward and speechless.

But this feeling quickly passed.

Lin Tian immediately reacted, pulling out his phone and opening Liu Yang’s chat.

Once the poison gave his address, Lin Tian would immediately send it to Liu Yang to ensure the poison was controlled as soon as possible.

They couldn’t afford to wait much longer, as the news of Rose’s capture wouldn’t stay secret for long.

…

At this moment, in the Western Mountain Orchard in the Xiangcheng District of Gusu, inside a farmer’s house, the poison sat at the table. In front of him was a bowl of hot, steaming old jar pickled cabbage beef noodles.

One hand held the phone to his ear, while the other stirred the noodles, frowning slightly as he spoke.

“Rose, you want my exact location?”

“Given how tense things are, do you think you can get the human skin masks to me?”

“To be honest, I’m hiding in a really secluded place. Apart from Boss K, no one in the organization knows. I’m really worried that even this place will be exposed…”

Before the poison could finish speaking, Su Ming immediately cut him off, mimicking Rose’s angry and frustrated voice, and impatiently said in a cold tone.

“Whether or not you can get the masks is none of your business.”

“To be honest, if it wasn’t for our similar past, both of us having risen from the lowest levels of society, and K’s arrangement, I wouldn’t bother with you at all.”

“I’ll just say it.”

“If you put on the new human skin mask, you might still have a chance to escape capture. But if you keep hiding, it’s only a matter of time before they find you.”

“Don’t underestimate those dogs coming after you. Didn’t you forget how the sculptor died?”

“Forget it. Do as you wish and hide from those dogs. Once the storm passes, you can show yourself. I’ll tell K that you don’t need to…”

As Su Ming continued to press and suggest with his words, the poison’s mind wandered back to when he had just graduated.

He had struggled to find a job, and to fill his stomach, he had lived on instant noodles for a month. Back then, just looking at instant noodles made him want to vomit.

During that time, he made a vow: Once he had money, he would never treat himself poorly again, no matter how expensive something was, he’d buy it if he liked it.

So, after joining the drug trafficking organization, the poison began to spend recklessly, buying his favorite luxury cars worth millions and eating meals that cost what he had once earned in a month.

But now… the poison lowered his head and looked at the instant noodles on the table. He fell silent.

Just yesterday, he was a rich second generation in the Australian region, eating thousand-dollar lobster, buying luxury cars, villas, anything he wanted with money.

But now, he was back to his former self, eating instant noodles he had once despised, and secretly relieved he had escaped the police’s pursuit.

Three seconds later.

The poison suddenly flipped the bowl of noodles on the table, then spoke without hesitation into the phone.

“I’m sorry, I’m sorry, Rose.”

“I just got paranoid and started doubting our own people.”

“I’m currently hiding in a worker’s cabin in the Western Mountain Orchard in Gusu. This place is contracted under a different identity with the authorities. The police will never figure it out!”
