After a moment of silence, Zhang Kaiwen slowly spoke to Lu Xiaoran, "Alright, I understand. You can go now."
Once Lu Xiaoran left, Zhang Kaiwen began pacing alone in his room. He felt that the situation might not be as simple as Lu Xiaoran had described. Including Hua Wenlong, three Ability users had died within a day of teaming up with Lu Xiaoran. If this were merely a coincidence, it seemed a bit too coincidental.
After pondering for a while, Zhang Kaiwen picked up his phone from the table and dialed a number. Before long, a dark-skinned young man arrived at his room.
"Boss, you called for me?" The young man's name was Ma Zhibiao. He had been sentenced to prison for burglary and had met Zhang Kaiwen during their time in jail. They had spent two years together, and Zhang Kaiwen regarded him as a friend and trusted him greatly.
"Little Ma, I need your help with something," Zhang Kaiwen said thoughtfully.
"Of course! Just tell me what you need," Ma Zhibiao stepped forward, ready to listen to Zhang Kaiwen's instructions.
"There’s a guy named Lu Xiaoran who seems a bit off to me. I want you to investigate him," Zhang Kaiwen explained.
Ma Zhibiao looked puzzled and asked, "What has this Lu Xiaoran done?"
Zhang Kaiwen shook his head and replied slowly, "Not much is certain yet. I previously arranged for three Ability users to team up with him, and each one died within less than a day. I find this situation suspicious, so I want to dig into his background."
Ma Zhibiao nodded thoughtfully, "I see. If three people have died like that, then this Lu Xiaoran does seem suspicious. How should I go about investigating him?"
Zhang Kaiwen considered for a moment before looking up at him and saying, "This morning, I sent Lu Xiaoran to the West Harmony Community. The Ability user he partnered with, Hua Wenlong, died in that area. Lu Xiaoran told me that Hua Wenlong was killed in an explosion. I want you to check if there was indeed an explosion in that community. If possible, please try to find Hua Wenlong's body to confirm how he actually died."
Ma Zhibiao nodded earnestly and said, "I'll head over to the West Harmony Community right away."
Zhang Kaiwen recounted the details of the incident to Ma Zhibiao, including how the other two abilities who teamed up with Lu Xiaoran had died. Once he finished speaking, Ma Zhibiao left his room, donned a gas mask, and got into a car.
He drove down the winding mountain road for about half an hour before finally arriving at West Harmony Community. Upon entering the neighborhood, Ma Zhibiao slowed down and raised his head to observe the surrounding residential buildings.
What was going on with that building ahead? Ma Zhibiao noticed that a residential building to his left was severely tilted in its upper half. The walls of this building had several noticeable cracks that extended from around the sixth floor all the way to the roof. The entire structure looked as if it were leaning like the Leaning Tower of Pisa, appearing ready to collapse at any moment.
This must be the building that had exploded earlier, Ma Zhibiao thought to himself. It had clearly become a dangerous structure, looking as though it could fall at any time.
