Lu Hong asked urgently, "Beifei, what about Chen Gang? Explain clearly."
"It will be clear," Xiang Beifei said.
At that moment, there seemed to drift a scent of something burning in the air; smoke began to spread, and the temperature started to rise.
"Where's the fire?"
Lu Hong looked up behind him, but just then, with a "whoosh," the fire sprinkler overhead in the parking garage burst open, and misty water sprayed out.
Lu Hong and Chen Gang were standing right underneath the fire sprinkler.
"Damn it!"
Lu Zhiwei was shocked, moving quickly to the side, but it was still a step too late; the mist drenched him, and his clothes began to form holes as if they had been splashed with magma.
Within these holes, a faint blue glow flickered in and out of sight.
[Thousand Faces Refined Reminder: When disguising as someone else, avoid contact with water, as it will wash away all disguises.]
This was the vulnerability Xiang Beifei discovered in Chen Gang's Thousand Faces Refined.
This superbly powerful disguise system was actually not waterproof!
Xiang Beifei was well aware that he could not make Lu Hong trust him on his own, even if he pointed out Chen Gang's disguise, the next moment Chen Gang would escape.
So all he could do was let Chen Gang attack the others, then lure Lu Hong to the parking lot, simply start a fire in a trash can, and trigger the fire sprinklers above, exposing Chen Gang in front of Lu Hong!
Lu Hong also noticed the anomaly on Lu Zhiwei's body, and realizing the truth, he exclaimed, "You are not my daughter, you are—"
"Bastard!"
Chen Gang glared at Xiang Beifei, then his figure vanished in front of Lu Hong!
His system could block electronic tracking devices, and Lu Hong was wearing tracking glasses at that moment. To him, Chen Gang was invisible.
Whoosh!
Chen Gang suddenly lunged, kicked off the wall, and leaped high towards Lu Hong.
But Lu Hong had already sensed the attack; his Perception was incredibly potent. Even without sight of Chen Gang, the moment Chen Gang struck, he detected the disturbance in the air and sidestepped, narrowly dodging Chen Gang's dagger.
Bang!
Lu Hong seemed unable to accept this fact.
Half a year ago, when the news came that Chen Gang had been harmed by Lai Wuying and had died in the line of duty, Lu Hong had been depressed for a long time. He secretly swore to apprehend Lai Wuying and avenge his friend.
But he never, ever expected that when he saw Chen Gang again today, he would suddenly be told that the very person he had been chasing was the supposedly slain old friend!
He remembered the times in the eastern jurisdiction when he had pursued Lai Wuying with Chen Gang. Many doubts started to clear up with Chen Gang's "resurrection from the dead."
"What exactly is going on here?"
Lu Hong clenched his fists, his voice shifting in tone.
"If you hadn't discovered the connection between me and Lai Wuying six months ago, I wouldn't have needed to come after you!"
Chen Gang spat out bitterly.
With things having come to this point and Thousand Faces Slash Moon in hand, he couldn't be bothered to keep up the disguise any longer.
Six months prior, when Lu Hong went to find Chen Gang, due to a moment of carelessness on Chen Gang's part, Lu Hong stumbled upon significant traces left by Lai Wuying, leading to a joint investigation with two other powerful experts.
At that time, Lu Hong had not realized that Lai Wuying was Chen Gang. Chen Gang knew that if the investigation continued, it would eventually lead back to him, yet he wasn't strong enough to kill Lu Hong at the time. His only option was to fake his own death to destroy the evidence.
When Lu Hong followed the trail to Chen Gang, he found that Lai Wuying had "murdered" Chen Gang viciously. The scene was extremely bloody, and Chen Gang didn't leave a whole corpse behind.
Knowing Lu Hong's investigative skills, he disguised the scene himself, making it chaotic to ensure that even Lu Hong with his powerful Investigation System couldn't identify it.
Having the cover of being the captain of the eastern jurisdiction's law enforcement team, Chen Gang was free to commit crimes under the identity of "Lai Wuying," which made him grow stronger.
But all of it was ruined by Lu Hong!
Chen Gang couldn't accept it, he grew to hate Lu Hong, vowing to take back everything he owned!
Once the storm had passed, he plotted this entire operation.
The opposing district had a prophet, which he already knew about, so he deliberately made the prophet foresee that he would come to this mall. He then used his system to disguise himself, preparing to kill Lu Hong with a fatal blow from Thousand Faces Slash Moon, and then impersonate Lu Hong to become the law enforcement team captain of the western jurisdiction.
That way, he could continue to cover up the actions of "Lai Wuying" with the identity of a law enforcement team captain.
The entire plan had been proceeding orderly, and even just moments ago, he had the perfect opportunity to strike a deadly blow.
But he hadn't expected the carefully laid trap to be completely destroyed by this kid who came out of nowhere!
Chen Gang was filled with bone-deep hatred for Xiang Beifei!
