Chapter 2: The Dangerous Element
The Chinese lanterns have just been lit.
The bustling city is particularly gorgeous under the decoration of neon lights. The long dragon of cars stretches as far as the eye can see, and the sound of horns is mixed with faint curses. Police cars flashing their lights approach from afar, and the shrill sirens often make people's nerves tense up suddenly.
In this reinforced concrete structure of modern city, the hustle and bustle of people, endless noise, vehicle exhaust and so on have made everything that belongs to natural beauty disappear without a trace.
It's not just that, in the hustle and bustle of the city, even kind-hearted people will become cunning and ruthless, as if the jungle law also applies to this forest built of steel and concrete...
International Convention Center in Yinchuan City, Ningxia Province.
As an international metropolis of politics, economy and culture for over a hundred years, the city is emitting infinite temptation under the night. Where there is money, power and women, there will be endless disputes, Odessa. Vishy once said: If there were no more money, power and women, the world would truly return to nature and peace.
At the immigration entrance of Zhonghai International Airport, a young man wearing a worn-out black tactical jacket and carrying a cylindrical tactical backpack was stopped by security personnel at the security gate.
A young man with a silly smile on his face was invited into the examination room. Saying "please" was already very polite, it can be said that he entered the examination room under the escort of three armed special police officers. Behind the glass wall of the examination room, a pair of cold eyes seemed to want to pierce through their opponent.
After a thorough check, the security personnel shrugged their shoulders helplessly in front of a glass wall behind the young man and took Shen Qingyang's personal belongings into the security room.
"Sir, we need to register your items!"
"Hmm!" Shen Qingyang nodded slightly with a hint of a smile, scanning the glass wall. His professional instincts made him feel a special sense of alertness, and he lowered his head to adjust his tattered jacket. A faint elegant fragrance wafted into his nostrils, and he was certain that this scent did not come from any of these rough-looking men in front of him!
The indoor spring light suddenly appeared! A black tight-fitting dress wrapped around her plump figure, semi-transparent stockings set off her slender legs, and her pale icy face hid a hint of charm. She was indeed a top-notch beauty! The security inspector's old face turned red as he placed Shen Qingyang's tactical bag and passport on the small table, took a step back, but refused to leave.
Bai Lu glanced at the tactical pack, it was the kind of equipment that professional soldiers were equipped with, and it looked tattered and even had mud hanging from it!
"Miss Bai, here is his passport and qualification certificate!"
The man on the passport was listed as a black danger level by Interpol, but the man had no criminal record in any country. What is the error rate of Interpol's database? This point is clearer than ever.
Medium to tall build, slightly chubby cheeks still seem to have a hint of childish smile, if you say he's a wandering chef overseas, Bai Lu would definitely believe it!
Facing Shen Qingyang's harmless smile, Bai Lu coldly snorted: "Dangerous element!?"
However, Bai Lu still saw through the clues from Shen Qingyang's thick stack of more than a dozen professional certificates from all over the world: Serbian and Azerbaijani translation? French Chef Association Senior Chef Certificate, Seafood Cooking Certificate, World Geographic Association Polar Expedition Training Coach Certificate, Swedish First-Class Ship Welding Certificate, Doctors Without Borders Certificate, Air France Sixth-Level Pilot Certificate, Pet Trainer Certificate!
"My god! Is he a genius?"
Whoever sees these "rare breeds" of certificates will be shocked and amazed!
"Hmph! Not a genius, but a personal talent!" Bai Lu casually flipped through the various documents on the table, a hint of disdain appearing on his handsome face. A "dangerous element" with no criminal record was actually listed as "black level" by Interpol!
The wooden security guard cracked a smile, he seemed to have completely understood Miss Bai's meaning: even a genius would not be able to obtain so many international qualifications!
It's clear: the reason this guy was targeted by the police is not because he looks like a deserter from the battlefield, but rather like a bankrupt "international smuggler" - a seller of fake certificates!
I've seen many international scammers before, but this is the first time I've met a fake certificate seller!
"All of this is fake! Except for his passport..."
"Hmph!" Bai Lu gave the security guard a cold stare: "You're wrong!"
"This..."
Inside the tattered combat backpack, apart from these documents, there was nothing else. Those hazardous combat equipment had been disposed of at the time of boarding, of course. This ordinary and unremarkable "dangerous element" exerted an intangible pressure on Bailu's mind: The tactical pack had a bloody smell, with a hint of ferocity!
"Let him go! No need to register!" Through the glass partition, Bai Lu's heart became anxious. All the qualification certificates were genuine, but his passport was fake. The handsome face in the passport photo had been imprinted on her mind, but now Bai Lu had to remember the ordinary face outside the partition!
Young, wise and beautiful, Bai Lu is confident and has a strong personality. At the age of 26, she has already become the Deputy Director of Interpol's Asia-Pacific region, while her classmates who graduated with her are still working at the grassroots level without being noticed.
If she can crack a major regional case before the end of the year, her career will be smooth sailing! She will be the first woman to enter the upper echelons of Interpol's regional headquarters, and her promotion speed will break all previous records.
Selling forged certificates is illegal, but buying them is only a matter of persuasion and education. In the Interpol files on dangerous individuals, there are usually very detailed records, but Shen Qingyang's file is particularly special, with only a thin page of records except for the seventh-level black danger level.
However, Bai Lu also thinks that there is no need to scare the snake by hitting the grass. As for who Shen Qingyang really is, as long as he is still in Zhonghai City, then she has plenty of time to figure everything out.
After being detained for two hours, Shen Qingyang was finally able to leave the airport. He gazed at this city that was both familiar and strange, shrouded in the dim light of night. Shen Qingyang lit a cigarette and took a greedy drag.
The bloody nights in Bambusa forest can never be shaken off, the sound of gunfire still echoing in my ears. Those who have experienced slaughter feel extremely sensitive and psychologically fragile. The killings that are unrelated to justice or evil always make people fall into unprecedented self-blame, their tense nerves wandering on the edge of collapse, especially from the bloody battlefield to the warm city.
The best way to avoid collapse is to always be in a state of combat readiness!
Shen Qingyang fiddled with the silver "Zippo" lighter, and the built-in infinite communication chip indicator light suddenly flashed once. There were no enemies here anymore, no need for such a secretive way of contact!
Shen Qingyang's left earpiece crackled to life, the high-pitched red light of the comms device slowly fading out as the signal was cut off. The mission in Bambusa Forest had been a disaster for the mercenary team "Brave Warriors", including Deputy Captain Chen who would forever remain in that desperate place.
This is not the Warriors' stronghold, nor is it the location of an international mercenary organization. Shen Qingyang returned to this city that had become very unfamiliar to him in his memory, with a simple purpose: to see one person and get one thing, nothing more.
A chill of the night made him subconsciously pull on a faded black tactical jacket, and with his cylindrical tactical backpack, he disappeared into the vast sea of people.
