Sha Qing

Chapter 73: Surging Undercurrents (2)

Thinking of Sha Qing worsened Daniel's mood, which made him quite impatient in dealing with the fat old man in front of him.

In an irritated tone, he questioned the man lying on the ground: "You're one of the members, aren't you? Why are you rushing to the airport? Planning to run away overnight, huh. Do you have a plane coming to pick you up?"

His attitude which seemed like he would snap at any moment made the one being questioned feel like his neck would be sliced off the next second.

Edgar trembled in fear, leaving him no room to think carefully. He could only follow his instincts and guess the identity of his assailant: God, wasn't one undercover agent enough? They even added another guy whose temperament was even more arrogant and outrageous than the one before!

He immediately stumbled to defend himself: "No, no, I didn't want to abandon you guys and run first! I just wanted to be proactive and prepare for the ...... agreement...Yes! That Department of Justice agreement, the one we signed and put a fingerprint on! It's written there that you can't violate the witness protection system ......"

The gleam on Daniel's eyes brightened as he listened to the man's incoherent words. He seemed to have unintentionally crashed into some of the federal government's actions. It seemed that this fat man was the contact person for Leo's undercover work.

...... Leo Lawrence! Hah!

Without the Sha Qing who has keen sense by his side, Daniel was finally able to unleash his bitter hatred for that person without fear--

Seven years and four months ago, in Queens, New York, one of his henchmen had been bought by the police to lure him to the scene they had set up and therefore, he was caught in one fell swoop. At that time, it was this young FBI man with dark hair and dark blue eyes who pinned him down to the dirty dirt floor and ended his freedom with handcuffs!

During that time in the detention centre, while feeling angry and suffocated, he collected the inside story about the dealings of the one who betrayed him with the police. The ridiculous thing was that that henchman of his who killed, sold drugs, kidnapped, and extorted just about everything, ended up in the witness protection program for giving up and helping the police catch him, changed his name under the protective umbrella propped up by the federal government, and continued to get away with his crimes with dignity; while he, on the other hand, almost went to prison for forty years for the same crimes!

Is this what they called justice? He questioned silently as he stared at the newspaper clippings posted on the wall of his cell. The fledgling black-haired agent had become famous, receiving official accolades and public acclaim. The young face in the black-and-white photo was handsome and upright, a worthy ambassador for law enforcement officers, and only Daniel himself knew how pervasive and unscrupulous this FBI agent was in his efforts to engineer his arrest!

While he could only stay in prison without seeing the daylight, the other man had already risen through the ranks, climbing to the FBI headquarters in just a few years, so much so that when he was released from prison and bent on exacting revenge, he couldn't even find him.

But life is full of unexpected drama:the former mob boss who was now released from prison and the FBI agent who arrested him met on such a narrow road- a deserted island in the middle of the ocean. The difference was that the former recognized the agent on the spot and was forced to conceal his hatred; while the latter, had apparently forgotten all about Daniel, for he was nothing special- just one of the countless criminals the agent had arrested.

Now, I finally got a chance for revenge.

Realizing this, Daniel laughed pleasantly.

Edgar shuddered upon seeing the mirth accompanied by excitement on the other man's face.
