Chapter 82: You Have a Great Omen of Misfortune on You
Supervisor Rhode's hand, gripping the gun, tightened, but ultimately lowered. If he had dared to shoot, losing his position would be the least of his worries; a court trial would be unavoidable.
It was in broad daylight, with so many witnesses!
If there were only two people, it would be a different story… As he was leaving, Mo Fei suddenly turned back to Supervisor Rhode and smiled, "Sir, I actually know a unique form of physiognomy from our Huaxia. I see your glabella is dark, and strangely so; faint black energy swirls above your head. You must have a great omen of misfortune on you. I estimate you'll encounter a bloody disaster within a month. Be careful when you're out and about!"
Supervisor Rhode clenched his fists, watching the three of Mo Fei leave with a tightly furrowed brow, not saying a word.
—
Standing outside the FBI building's floor-to-ceiling window, Xiao Jinmao Brian watched the three of Mo Fei depart.
He only now realized that the 'stud' Mia had mentioned was actually his cousin-in-law… From Mia, Brian already knew what kind of person Mo Fei was.
A big stud whose girlfriends never lasted more than three months!
And now this stud was his cousin's boyfriend… He remembered seeing Mo Fei secretly touch Mia yesterday… If it weren't for the law against murder, Brian would have beaten Mo Fei to death right there!
He also now understood that Supervisor Rhode's target wasn't Mikayla at all, but that stud; Mikayla was purely collateral damage.
"I shouldn't have let Mia come," Brian snorted, "Let Supervisor Rhode take care of him."

"I clearly confiscated all their communication devices; where did they find a lawyer?" Supervisor Rhode's face was as dark as a pot, and he slammed his hand down hard on the office desk. The "thud" scared the agents in the meeting, making them pale and silent.
If the lawyer hadn't suddenly interfered, they could have arbitrarily prolonged Mo Fei's detention.
Why else would it have come to this, where that little punk could provoke them so easily without them being able to retaliate?
Brian, also sitting in the conference room, maintained a serious expression, not blushing or showing any outward emotion, but internally, he was panicking.
Damn it, this isn't good. I seem to have inadvertently caused a huge problem. I absolutely cannot let anyone know I leaked the information… I need to find someone to clear Mia's communication records immediately… But that's not enough… He thought for a moment, then suddenly stood up, stepping forward, and in the admiring and grateful gazes of his colleagues, said, "Supervisor, don't you think it's possible that Mo Fei's accomplices couldn't reach him, and upon investigating, discovered he was arrested, so they quickly found him a lawyer? Looking at it this way, his suspicion of being Braga is even greater!"
"Hmm? That makes a lot of sense!" Supervisor Rhode stroked his beard, pondering, "If he is Braga, it's indeed very likely that he has people he absolutely trusts secretly watching him at all times… Now it seems his suspicion is growing even stronger… "
Listening to Mo Fei's suspicion deepen in Supervisor Rhode's words, Xiao Jinmao Brian felt a little guilty.
But why did it also feel a bit satisfying?
Indeed, one of the essences of humanity is that messing with someone feels good for a while, and continuously messing with them feels good forever!
No… He's already my cousin-in-law. It's good that I haven't settled scores with him yet. Is messing with him really messing with him?
Can family matters be considered messing with someone?
Certainly not!
"Have you installed the surveillance equipment and tracking system I asked you to put in his car?"
Supervisor Rhode had already prepared for both eventualities. He had anticipated the possibility of finding nothing on Mo Fei, so he had arranged for surveillance to be installed in his car.
"It's already installed."
"Good!" Supervisor Rhode's eagle eyes were grave, "Keep a close watch on him. I have a premonition that a major breakthrough in the Braga case will be found through him."
Do you really think I, Supervisor Rhode, the mastermind, am someone so easily dismissed?
—
Mikayla was driving the Ford Cobra, and Mo Fei was driving the Chevrolet, with Mia in the car. Just as they were about to leave, the car window was tapped.
Standing in front of the car was a poker-faced Mindy.
Mindy got into the car and sat in the passenger seat.
"Brother, take a look. This is the information on the mastermind behind your arrest," Mindy handed a stack of A4 papers to Mo Fei.
Mo Fei held the steering wheel with one hand and took the papers with the other, starting to read.
In the file, Mo Fei surprisingly discovered Bruce Banner, Supervisor Rhode's cousin.
"No wonder I always felt he was a bit green all over. So he's Hulk's cousin!" Mo Fei muttered, "Then I wish you and your cousin the same, to be green from head to toe!"
"That son of a bitch, I'll get him sooner or later!" Mo Fei put down the file and said fiercely.
"No rush, he's not going anywhere anyway. One by one!" Mindy said calmly, "Let's take care of Braga first!"
Compared to the shameless FBI agents like Supervisor Rhode, the even more unscrupulous and bottomless Braga was undoubtedly more dangerous.
At least Supervisor Rhode and his ilk wouldn't dare to commit murder in broad daylight, but Braga would, and he had already used an RPG to attack Mo Fei.
After a few brief words, Mo Fei and Mindy started chatting idly.
During this time, Mia tried to interject but received a text message—there was a wiretap… After dropping Mia off at home, the three of Mo Fei returned to their own residence.
Back home, Mindy pursed her lips, looking at Mo Fei with cold eyes, and threw a little tantrum, "Brother, do you know I had already chosen a sniper location tonight, and as soon as the time came, I could have directly killed Braga and eliminated this hidden danger! Because of your situation, I abandoned this sniper mission and rushed back immediately! Can't you let me worry less? Didn't I tell you earlier that you needed to keep a low profile during this period? And you agreed!"
Mo Fei chuckled, "I didn't know those FBI guys were dogging me like hounds!"
"Brother, next time if you still don't take what I tell you seriously, be careful… be careful I run away from home!" Mindy pouted, making a rather unthreatening threat.
"I know, it won't happen again!" Mo Fei said with a serious expression.
But Mo Fei actually knew the essence of humanity very well: postponing something feels good for a while, and continuously postponing it feels good forever!
"Mindy, I'm sorry, it's all my fault!" Mikayla, who was walking behind, saw Mindy, clasped her hands together, and apologized sincerely, "If I hadn't dragged Uncle out, we wouldn't have been caught by the FBI."
"Actually, this has nothing to do with you," Mindy, who was stern with Mo Fei, was much kinder to Mikayla, shaking her head and smiling, "If anything, my brother implicated you." She glanced at Mo Fei, intentionally or unintentionally, "If it weren't for certain things someone did, why would mere street racing get the FBI's attention?"
Mo Fei unconsciously touched his nose.
This child, why is she speaking such harsh truths?
Doesn't her brother need to save face?
Fortunately, Mindy still knew to save Mo Fei's face. If she had directly revealed why they were targeted by the FBI… he would probably have been choked to death by Mikayla right there.
