"You!" Jessica exclaimed. As a leader in the FBI, she was not only the champion of three shooting competitions, but also a very powerful judo black belt master, known as the flower of the FBI. But now, in just a moment, her whole body was numb and she was restrained by someone, which dealt a heavy blow to her self-esteem.

"I'm sorry, I can only inconvenience you temporarily." Zheng Yubai tapped Jessica's body with his fingers like lightning. His internal energy penetrated her body and pierced into Jessica's acupuncture points.

Zheng Yubai loosened his hand, and Jessica fell limply. Zheng Yubai bent down to pick up the handcuffs, and handcuffed Jessica's wrist, and fastened the other end to the railing on the side of the highway.

"You will regret what you have done. This is a serious crime." Jessica felt sore all over and couldn't move, but she still threatened unyieldingly.

"I don't care about that anymore." Zheng Yubai smiled and put Jessica's pistol into his arms. But when he looked back, Fang Hongjin had already run away.

"Hey!" When Zheng Yubai was feeling a little annoyed, someone called him from behind.

When I turned around, it was Jack.

"Take my car, I guarantee you can catch up with that guy." Jack said with a sly smile.

Zheng Yubai saw the expectation in Jack's eyes and thought that since Fang Hongjin had already escaped without a trace, he might as well trust Jack.

Taxi drivers can be regarded as the worms in a city. They understand the glory and dreams of the city, as well as all its filthiness. Because their daily work is to wander in the blood vessels of the city, which never stops.

As soon as he got into the car, Jack turned on the radio and shouted loudly, asking all his taxi driver friends to help him find Fang Hongjin.

A moment later, someone provided a clue: a driver saw a man who looked like Fang Hongjin at the exit of the highway.

"The car he was riding in belonged to Rand Corporation, a 2004 Ford Mondeo with a license plate number of LV156. The car was driving towards the city." The information provided by the whistleblower was very accurate.

Soon someone provided more accurate information: someone saw the taxi on the road leading into the city, and they confirmed that there was indeed a Chinese man in the passenger seat of the car.

"Looks like it's him." Jack smiled triumphantly, stepped on the accelerator hard, and the car rushed towards the exit of the highway like an arrow.

Countless cars and people watched the taxi leave, and then they began to whisper and exchange views with each other about this strange scene. Some enthusiastic people also went to greet Jessica to see if she needed help.

A moment later, the police who received the call also arrived. They first rescued Jessica who was handcuffed, and then began to question the witnesses around. However, what these witnesses said was really incredible to the police.

"Are you sure that the person you mentioned jumped over the high-speed car and smashed it into this state with his bare hands?" An inquiring policeman gasped when he saw the smashed car. He looked at the witness in doubt, as if he suspected that the other party had drunk a lot of alcohol.

"If you don't believe me, you can ask that lady." The witness said unhappily, "So many people saw it."

Jessica's face turned pale as she shook her hands to stretch her wrists which were a little numb after being handcuffed.

"I borrowed your car." Jessica was silent for a long time, and suddenly said to the policeman who was questioning him. Before the policeman finished speaking, she had already quickly got into the police car, started the car, stepped on the accelerator hard, and disappeared in a flash.

The two policemen who were left behind stared at the police car going away in amazement. It took them a while to react. Amid the laughter of the onlookers, they used the communicator to contact the police station.

"Please help me find a 2000 Ford Focus yellow sedan taxi with a license plate number of LV516. Please tell me immediately if you have any news." Jessica grabbed the walkie-talkie in the police car and asked for support from the headquarters with ease.

"The target you are looking for is now on the way into the city." Feedback came soon.

Jessica's face was gloomy. She turned the steering wheel, left the highway exit, and headed straight for New York city.

This time, Zheng Yubai had witnessed the power of taxi drivers. Jack drove all the way, and taxi drivers kept reporting to him the situation of the car Fang Hongjin was riding in. Although there was no high-tech global satellite positioning system, these "human positioning systems" were not bad at all.

"I saw the car. It turned into Kennedy Avenue and stopped in front of Bourbon Mansion. The person in the car got out... He seemed to be going into the mansion." As the car rushed into Fifth Avenue, new news came.

Bourbon Mansion… Zheng Yubai's heart moved. From the information he had received before, this Bourbon Mansion was opened by French tycoon Dugarry, one of the bigwigs of the Skull and Bones Society and a director of the American Oil Company. It was said that this was a private club specially used for gatherings of senior figures of the Skull and Bones Society. The security system was very strict, and the interior was luxurious and extravagant, and the grade was very high.

"Bourbon Mansion is a mysterious place." Jack muttered, "The man you are chasing seems to be no simple man."

As a taxi driver, Jack was well-informed. Although guests of Bourbon Mansion did not need to take taxis, the service staff sometimes took taxis to work. As a result, there were some rumors about the mansion in the taxi driver circle, and some even knew the little-known path behind the back door of Bourbon Mansion.

"Just take me to the street corner, I'll go there alone." Zheng Yubai pondered for a moment and made a decision.

"How are you going to get in?" Jack asked. "The security there is very tight. I heard there are dozens of bodyguards inside, and each of them carries a gun."

Zheng Yubai also knew that rushing in head-on was a very foolish move, but if he didn't hurry up, if Fang Hongjin passed on the news of the strife in Yandao Hall, it would be too late.

"I know a back door that you can go in from." Jack said, "You have the same skills as Batman. I guess you can sneak in without anyone noticing."

Jack was right. The security system at the front door of Bourbon Mansion was so tight that not even a fly could get in. However, the back door was a winding path known only to the mansion's staff, and there was no security at all.

After sending Zheng Yubai to the intersection of the path, Jack pointed to a convenience store not far ahead and said, "I'll wait for you there."

Zheng Yubai looked at Jack gratefully, took out all the money he had and said, "Thank you very much."

Jack's face flushed and turned a little darker, and he said firmly: "I don't want your money, I just want to try what it's like to be Robin."

Zheng Yubai knew that Robin was Batman's partner. He smiled and said, "You did much better than Robin." After that, he turned around and strode into the path. Soon his figure disappeared.

"Haha, I'm Robin." Jack whistled triumphantly, parked the car at the door of the convenience store, and waited for Zheng Yubai to come. What he didn't know was that at a crossroads not far away, someone was already reporting his license plate number to the black female agent Jessica who was rushing over at lightning speed.

The path behind the Bourbon Mansion is narrow and dirty, but it is the place where the service staff in the mansion must pass every day. The big boss Dugarry does not allow the service staff to enter and exit through the grand main gate, so they have to find another way to find such a shortcut.

However, it was precisely because Dugarry treated the service staff a little harshly that he gave Zheng Yubai such an opportunity. After sneaking into the alley, he walked forward all the way, turned five or six corners, and came to the back door of the Bourbon Mansion.

There is a two-person-high iron fence outside the back door. Someone broke one of the fences, leaving a gap that is big enough for one person to go in and out. The service staff used this to enter and leave the mansion, and the security staff probably also needed this convenient shortcut, so no one came to repair it.

Zheng Yubai easily got through the gap and came to the back door of the magnificent mansion. He gently turned the handle on a small door, and a dark path appeared in front of Zheng Yubai. The other side was very bright, and there was a fragrance coming from the noisy crowd, which seemed to be the kitchen.

Zheng Yubai closed the door and strode towards the light ahead.

It was indeed a kitchen, and a modern high-end kitchen at that. There were seven or eight busy chefs inside. Everyone was concentrating on their work and didn't notice the uninvited guest in the kitchen at all.

In fact, it was not that everyone was too busy, but that Zheng Yubai deliberately restrained his aura.

After all, humans are also animals. Although in the long process of evolution, the animal instincts and original super powers have gradually disappeared in the genes, they have not completely disappeared, but have only become latent.

Some women are very intuitive, and some people are psychic, because the part of their genes that controls intuition is more active. The genes of ordinary people are silent, but they are not useless. Most sensory systems are actually controlled by the same genes.

When someone comes behind you, people often feel it. If you close your eyes and slowly put your fingers close to the center of your eyes, you will also feel it. These are the results of the gene being stimulated.

Zheng Yubai held his breath at this moment, precisely to avoid stimulating other people's sensory genes. Of course, this was far inferior to the invisibility technique in science fiction novels, where anyone could see him as long as they turned their heads. However, relying on his nimble footsteps and quick movements that made no sound, Zheng Yubai actually walked through the kitchen without attracting any attention.

There was a corridor outside the kitchen. Walking to the end of the corridor, I saw a side hall. Two people dressed as security guards were chatting in the hall.

Zheng Yubai walked straight over. By the time the two security guards noticed him, Zheng Yubai had already rushed over. He slapped one of them unconscious with one hand, and grabbed the other by the throat with his other hand, shouting, "Where is Fang Hongjin?"

The security guard looked at Zheng Yubai in horror, not knowing how someone could get in. However, the pressure on his neck forced him to tell the truth: "He went to the third floor to see the boss."

"Boss? Is it Dugari?" Zheng Yubai's heart moved.

The security guard nodded repeatedly. After Zheng Yubai got the affirmative answer, he pressed the security guard's carotid artery with his fingers. Within two seconds, the security guard fainted.

After dragging the two unconscious security guards to the corner of the hall, Zheng Yubai didn't even bother to cover them with anything, and went straight up the stairs in the side hall to the second floor. (To be continued)
