Chapter 41: Chapter 41: Dueling Performances
[You have successfully disguised yourself as Ke Hu, and deceived the Law Enforcers, disguise ability +20]
[You have accessed Ke Hu's perception of Lu Hong, Thousand Faces Slash Moon (targeted at Lu Hong) assassination probability is 63%]
"After all, I've also been in the Enforcement Team, and you people trying to catch me with this kind of action is just laughable."
Once the captain of the East District Enforcement Team, Chen Gang knew the city's enforcement personnel's tactics like the back of his hand and could make all the Law Enforcers run around in circles. With his abilities, those Law Enforcers couldn't touch him.
Chen Gang casually weaved through the crowd in the mall, going unnoticed by anyone.
He had once again assumed a new identity, currently going by the name of Ke Hu.
He had now accessed the perceptions of twenty-one enforcement officers regarding Lu Hong, and the system had helped him integrate the information into "Thousand Faces Slash Moon"; the assassination probability for the "Thousand Faces Slash Moon" designed to kill Lu Hong had increased to 63%.
This assassination probability was actually quite high, but Chen Gang was still not at ease because he hadn't been in contact with Lu Hong for a long time. Lu Hong's current strength might have greatly improved, so he needed to increase the assassination probability even further.
If he wanted to further increase the assassination chances, then the next target was clear.
Lu Hong's daughter, Lu Zhiwei!
Lu Zhiwei knew her father Lu Hong better than anyone else. As long as he accessed Lu Zhiwei's perception of Lu Hong, this operation was almost guaranteed success.
Chen Gang turned his gaze towards Lu Zhiwei, who was peering over the third-floor railing, and chuckled lightly as he walked towards her.
But at that moment, a restless teenager ran over and accidentally bumped into Chen Gang.
"Sorry, sorry, it wasn't intentional, I'm in a hurry."
The teenager quickly apologized.
Chen Gang frowned and glanced at the teenager, feeling that he looked somewhat familiar.
"Right, this kid is the one Lu Zhiwei and the others kept calling Beifei."
Chen Gang reflected inwardly.
He didn't know Xiang Beifei's name but had eavesdropped on the conversations between Lu Hong and others through his glasses.
"If this kid can come here, he must know Lu Hong; maybe like Lu Zhiwei, he's an intern in the Enforcement Team."
To boost his success rate further, Chen Gang couldn't let go of anyone who knew Lu Hong.
"No worries, I know you, you came with Captain Lu, right?"
Chen Gang, currently disguised as Ke Hu, pretended to be concerned.
"Yes... oh, you are also..."
Xiang Beifei realized with a start and then hurriedly lowered his voice, whispering, "Sorry, I didn't know you were an enforcement officer too."
[You have learned Beifei's accent, accent material library +1]
Chen Gang grabbed Xiang Beifei, pulling him to the side and said urgently, "It's okay, now's not the time for apologies, be careful, any discoveries?"
Chen Gang's impersonation of Ke Hu was serious in demeanor, a perfect copy of the real Ke Hu, even mimicking Ke Hu's speech impediment accurately.
When it comes to acting, Chen Gang is professional!
Xiang Beifei spoke anxiously, "Nothing, that Lai Wuying is too cunning. I'm really worried about Uncle Lu; Lai Wuying is too powerful. I always feel like we're no match for him."
Xiang Beifei looked anxious and even a bit worried and fearful. As he spoke, his gaze darted around, resembling a rookie who was unsettled.
A contest in acting?
Beifei was no less capable.
Chen Gang patted Xiang Beifei's shoulder concernedly, saying, "You seem very nervous? Don't worry, Captain Lu is so powerful, he will surely bring Lai Wuying to justice. We have to believe in Captain Lu!"
[You have learned Beifei's body language habits, body language library +1]
"I just think Lai Wuying is too formidable, making us chase our tails. But we don't even know where he is."
Xiang Beifei took a deep breath, trying to calm his agitated emotions.
Chen Gang patted Xiang Beifei on the shoulder again, saying, "Justice has long arms; Captain Lu will definitely catch Lai Wuying and bring him in. Come on, cheer up."
"Yeah, thank you, I feel more confident after your pep talk. By the way, I don't know your name?"
"Ke Hu."
"Can I call you Brother Hu?"
"Sure."
"Brother Hu! Thank you, Brother Hu! My last name is Xiang."
"I know, Lu Zhiwei brought you here."
"Brother Hu, I want to be a city law enforcer in the future. You must take good care of me, your little brother!"
"Don't worry, I've got you covered!"
The two actors competed in their performance with genuine emotion and sincerity.
It was as if a senior was looking after a junior.
[You have read Beifei's perception of Lu Hong, Thousand Faces Slash Moon (targeting Lu Hong) assassination rate is 63.2%]
At this moment, Xiang Beifei remembered something and said, "Right, I need to check out the third floor, can't delay any longer!"
Without waiting for Chen Gang to say anything, Xiang Beifei ran off.
Chen Gang looked at Xiang Beifei's retreating back, his eyebrows slightly furrowed.
He had intended to take Xiang Beifei to a blind spot in the mall to fully learn Xiang Beifei's perception of Lu Hong and impersonate Xiang Beifei, but Xiang Beifei did not give him the chance.
Several customers strolled by; he couldn't lay hands on Xiang Beifei forcefully.
However, he did not pursue because he had just tried to read Xiang Beifei's perception of Lu Hong and found that he had only acquired 0.2%!
"Forget it, this kid must be new here and hasn't gotten to know Lu Hong much. That's why I only got an increase of 0.2%, which is as good as nothing."
Chen Gang believed there was no need to waste effort on a greenhorn, so he searched for Lu Zhiwei's location again and headed towards her.
----
Chen Gang casually stopped beside Lu Zhiwei.
"Ke Hu, how are things on your end?"
Lu Zhiwei was peering around from the railing on the third floor when she saw the disguised Chen Gang approach and asked.
"I didn't see 'Lai Wuying'," said Chen Gang.
[You have learned Lu Zhiwei's accent, accent material library +1]
He now had a 63.2% assassination rate; his ultimate target for impersonation must be Lu Zhiwei!
Lu Hong was not an easy kill. He was significantly stronger than Chen Gang and possessed a powerful Investigation System, which could sense changes in the air around him. Even if one tried to approach while invisible, it was not guaranteed to succeed.
In short, Chen Gang alone would have great difficulty in killing Lu Hong.
But it would be different if he impersonated Lu Zhiwei.
Fathers, in general, are not guarded against their daughters.
So he needed to use Lu Zhiwei to get close to Lu Hong.
Chen Gang used the glasses he had gotten from Ke Hu to search the mall and saw Lu Hong searching in a clothing store on the fourth floor, smirking to himself.
"Zhiwei, I feel like something is not quite right, why is there no movement from the others?" said Chen Gang.
Lu Zhiwei stood with her hands on her hips and nodded seriously, "I feel the same. I just saw Sister Lili and Luo Shan knocked out by Lai Wuying and they won't wake up no matter what."
[You have learned Lu Zhiwei's body language habits, your body language library +1]
"Then we can't split up any longer, we must find Captain Lu and regroup," said Chen Gang.
"Let's go to the fourth floor to find him!"
Lu Zhiwei nodded and turned to head towards the fourth floor.
Chen Gang followed Lu Zhiwei. As he walked, his posture gradually began to synchronize with Lu Zhiwei.
But just at that moment, Xue Mo, carrying a shoebox, came around the corner.
Xue Mo, with an urgent look on his face, called out to Lu Zhiwei, "The cat's alive!"
"I know the cat's alive, but where is he?" Lu Zhiwei asked.
Xue Mo kept staring at Chen Gang, who was disguised as Ke Hu, and stuttered, "That... That's not Ke..."
But before Xue Mo could finish his sentence, he suddenly paused because Chen Gang had disappeared right before his eyes. For a moment, all he felt was a clouding of his consciousness, and then he fell over.
As his consciousness faded, he vaguely seemed to see two Lu Zhiweis.
