Sweet Nostalgia of the 80s

Capítulo 1847: Chapter 1846 Revealed

She carefully lowered her head to study the stuff trapped in her fingernails and found that besides blood, there were also some scraps of skin.

“Ha.” An Hao laughed. Though she had been knocked down by someone, it wasn’t a big loss. The opposite party hadn’t gained any advantage from her either. Just before fainting, her grip was unexpectedly strong enough to scratch the opponent.

If the place she scratched wasn’t the face, then it was likely the neck.

However, An Hao analyzed that it should be the neck; if the place she’d grabbed was the face, it’s unlikely the woman wouldn’t leave her badly injured.

Having tracked all the way, although she hadn’t figured out the opponent’s identity, there was some gain. At least the woman’s target wasn’t her, so everything seemed easier.

An Hao felt much more relaxed. She carefully washed her hands several times, then lay down on the bed to rest.

During the dead of night, Hou Zicheng couldn’t sleep. He lay in bed staring at the pitch-black ceiling, pondering over things.

Before, gathering intelligence was easy. The guys he sent out could randomly snap a few photos near a military base and send them to Cang Lang in exchange for a sum of money.

But now, collecting intelligence is becoming harder.

The domestic counter-espionage situation is extremely severe. Those national security agents can appear around you without a trace, presenting evidence of your collusion with enemies and taking you away.

If the offense is minor, you’ll get life imprisonment; if serious, you’d be executed for stealing important state secrets.

Therefore, the money he earns is getting harder to come by.

The businesses he currently handles are losing propositions. He is neither skilled in management nor knows the market trends; it’s purely to find a cover identity for himself.

To avoid exposing himself under others’ noses.

Hou Zicheng was anxious about not understanding the intelligence situation, tossing and turning in bed unable to sleep. Suddenly, he heard the doorbell ring.

Who could be here at this hour?

Cang Lang?

Cang Lang had already gone to the United States and wouldn’t be back for the time being.

While he was speculating, the voice of the maid came from outside, “Boss, a lady says she wants to see you! She says she’s your friend, someone you’ve always wanted to meet.”

Hou Zicheng’s eyes brightened. He quickly sat up and told the maid, “Bring her directly to my bedroom.”

Three minutes later.

A woman with a cold expression appeared in Hou Zicheng’s room. Despite wearing a fiery red coat, she couldn’t hide the cold aura and strong presence that surrounded her.

“Boss Hou! We’ve finally met.” The woman said with an expressionless face.

“Blood Rose!” The name immediately popped into Hou Zicheng’s mind.

Staring at this woman, who was as cold as ice in front of him, Hou Zicheng felt secretly disappointed.

He had imagined countless times about this woman’s appearance and character in his mind – sexy, charming, fiery, and extremely dangerous.

It was said that Blood Rose was the most powerful person in the organization, capable of gathering countless intelligence.

She had a variety of means to deceive others, a surprising daring, and an extraordinary sensitivity to information.

This was the Blood Rose in Hou Zicheng’s mind.

Not this cold, lifeless woman in front of him. If Hou Zicheng were to evaluate her, she’d only stand up to half his expectation, and he wondered where the remaining half of the evaluation came from?
