Legendary FBI Detective-Chapter 216: The Existential Issues of the Assassin and the Stepdaughter

The man moved swiftly, and several passersby didn't react in time, still carried over by high-pitched emotions.

But Mona and the SWAT agent, who clearly saw the man's movements, gasped in shock and instantly understood his true identity.

Immediately, both their hearts sank in dread because right in the path of Luo An's swinging fist was the head of a small boy!

In the eyes of Earley Louis, who was disguised as the father, a gleam of cold light flashed.

Although he didn't know how Luo An had identified him, with the child in his arms as a shield, he was confident he could escape from here even now.

Moreover, with a pistol in his possession, Earley Louis slightly grinned, preparing to draw the gun against the child's forehead once Luo An ceased his attack.

The next second, a gunshot suddenly rang out.

Bang!

Earley was slightly stunned, thinking, didn't I shoot?

Following that, a sharp pain erupted on his thigh, and it was then Earley realized:

Something's wrong! I've been shot!

While various thoughts flooded Earley's mind, Luo An's left hand had already swung around the little boy's head and struck Earley's face hard.

At the same time, taking advantage of the instability caused by the shot in his thigh, Luo An reached out with his just-fired right hand to snatch the child from Earley's arms.

It was Luo An who had fired the shot; his left-hand punch was a feint. He had only smelled the scent of blood on the man but couldn't confirm if he was indeed Earley.

However, the man's action of using the child to block the punch conclusively proved Luo An's suspicion, leading him to decisively shoot the man's thigh.

The sequence of actions happened in a brief moment. Before the shocked passersby in the square could react, the little boy was already in Luo An's hands.

And then, handing over the dazed and terrified little boy to a stunned SWAT agent nearby, Luo An did it effortlessly.

From afar, Mona breathed a long sigh of relief, her heart finally settling down, with a smile:

"I knew it, Luo An always prepares everything in advance!"

Speaking of which, Mona paused slightly.

Wait, if that's the case, then that night Luo An played with her emotions using a toy...

Elsewhere.

"Fu-k!"

Earley, who had fallen to the ground due to a gunshot wound on his thigh and a punch from Luo An, cursed foully with an ugly expression as he saw the child also being taken away, his right hand immediately reaching into his chest to draw his pistol to attack Luo An.

Luo An, who had seen Earley's movements clearly, didn't give him an opportunity. Just as Earley's right hand was about to rise, Luo An bent over, grabbed it, and stepped on him.

"Ah—"

Amidst his agonized screams, Luo An clenched his fist and heavily smashed it on his face, then took out handcuffs and said solemnly:

"I'm sorry to inform you, Mr. Earley Louis, that for the murder of an FBI agent and two other federal citizens, you are under arrest!"

Earley didn't respond because the punch from Luo An was too heavy; he had passed out completely.

The only thought before Earley passed out was that this handsome FBI agent was dishonorable, attacking him by surprise...

Luo An didn't know his thoughts, nor would he care.

We're all assassins, and isn't an assassin's job to attack by surprise?

Seeing Luo An handcuffing Earley securely and confiscating the weapon from his possession, the crowd exchanged glances for a second then burst into applause and cheers.

"That's amazing!"

"Great job, Agent Sir!"

"You are a hero!"

"Mom, that agent is so handsome, can you get his contact information for me?"

"…"

The SWAT team nearby also clapped furiously, their faces filled with admiration as they gazed at Luo An.

This is why he could become the young deputy chief of the Five Investigation Team; his observation skills, reaction speed, and physical abilities were all top-notch.

The rescued little boy also moved forward, hugging Luo An's thigh, and said with a face full of admiration:

"Thank you, Uncle Agent! Can you tell me your name? I want to be an FBI agent when I grow up!"

"…Please call me Brother Agent, thank you."

Luo An's mouth twitched; this was why he didn't like kids.

With a smile, Luo An comforted the little boy and handed Earley over to four SWAT team members. He then took a few photos with some passersby who had gathered around and hurriedly called Vireness.

"Commander, it's me, Luo An."

"I know."

On the other end of the phone, Vireness was sitting in her office, legs crossed, her face serious but inwardly she was very tense:

"How is the operation going, were there any casualties?"

"The operation was a complete success, Commander."

Hearing this, a small smile formed on Vireness' lips, but before she could speak, Luo An continued:

"But there was one casualty."

"Hmm?"

Vireness' heart lifted again, and the smile on her lips slightly stiffened:

"Who was it?"

"Don't worry, Commander."

Hearing the tense tone in Vireness' voice, Luo An chuckled and said:

"It's not a bystander, nor a SWAT team member, but the assassin who came to kill Earley Louis."

"Hmph!"

Vireness slightly snorted in her office—clearly understanding that Luo An had made a joke with her; they exchanged a few more words casually, without any praise for Luo An she then ended the call.

However, after hanging up, a beautiful smile emerged on Vireness' face:

"Well done, truly the best agent among the fourteen investigative teams of the Criminal Investigation Department!"

Meanwhile, a very happy Luo An didn't mind and turned off his phone, heading towards the direction of the SWAT team members.

At the same time, Reesi came walking over with two SWAT team members and the corpse of the black assassin.

Seeing Luo An, Reesi raised an eyebrow and lifted her right thumb:

"Topnotch!"

Reesi initially wanted to ask Luo An how he deduced that Earley ran in this direction, but just then, Mona mentioned through the communicator about Luo An's first quest in the forest searching for the veteran.

After hearing this, Reesi dismissed her question and was more focused on another issue while driving back to the Jacob Federation Building:

"Luo An, tell me, why do we always encounter assassins in the cases recently? Why are there so many assassins in this world?"

"Uh..."

Hearing this question while resting in the passenger seat, the former assassin Luo An scratched his head, unsure how to respond.

In his past life's belief, since the dawn of humanity, the professions of mistress and assassin have naturally emerged and remained firmly bound with humans.

The former accepts money to be someone's target, while the latter takes money to target others.

The rules are fixed, timeless, and expected to continue until the extinction of mankind.

Two hours later, in the office area of Investigative Team Five.

"Earley is still in the hospital undergoing surgery, and Leide won't be able to bring him to the interrogation room anytime soon."

Luo An took a bite of his burger and asked loudly:

"So, have we found out who the assassin killed by Earley is?"

"Francisco Ford, nicknamed Black Batman."

William nodded and showed the information of the black assassin to Luo An:

"He's a well-known assassin who has emerged in the Underworld in recent years, with a high mission success rate."

"Too bad, our 'Batman' Mr.'s mission success rate has ceased as of today."

Finishing his burger in a few bites, Luo An continued questioning:

"So, did we find out who sent Francisco to kill Earley?"

"No."

William shook his head, while Mona raised her hand and said:

"I found some information, but it was encrypted by the Federal Department of Homeland Security. Should I try to break in?"

Luo An: "?"
