Time is of utmost importance at this point; the more they delay, the longer the western division had, to prepare for their rebellion.

After staying in Shanghai for two days, Chen An and Cheng Yang flew to Las Vegas, the once world No. 1 city of casinos; only in recent years, it has been surpassed by Macao.

Being as it was, Las Vegas was still among the top four gambling cities of the world; yet Chen An was not here to gamble.

Three man sat in the café of a hotel; one of them was Ding Sheng, who wasn’t wearing a uniform but civilian clothes instead. He never thought he would see Chen An again, let alone this man would come to him.

“Ding Sheng, I’ve thought about it and made up my mind. I cannot hide in the countryside forever and spend the rest of my life being idle; I would rather make myself useful.”

The Interpol had information and means beyond the reach of common people, but if he wanted Ding Sheng to help him, Chen An had to get the man to trust him first. What was more, he also needed a good reason for Ding Sheng to work with him.

Using his talent for acting, Chen An gave Ding Sheng the well-prepared speech: he came to America to find Ding Sheng who could help him in an a south Asian human trafficking case. He didn’t expect Ding Sheng to believe him immediately; if Ding Sheng agreed to think about it, it could work.

After all, Chen An had known Ding Sheng for some time. He knew clearly Ding Sheng felt he owed Chen An one. As long as the favor he asked was not against the law, Ding Sheng would help him.

Back in their hotel room, Chen Yang voiced his worries, “uncle, what if Ding Sheng finds out you lied to him in the future?”

“How long do you think I can keep it up?” Chen An answered the question with another one. Although he’d decided to retire, everyone around him was associated with firearms. He could keep it from Ding Sheng for a year or two, but not forever.

Well, Chen An wasn’t planning to keep it from Ding Sheng forever.

Admittedly, Ding Sheng was a nice guy. But their respective roles dictated that they could never be friends. Although it wasn’t fair for Ding Sheng to be used like this, there was nothing Chen An could do, except to say “I’m sorry.”

Just like he expected, Ding Sheng came to their hotel the next day, and told Chen An he would help them. He also had questions, “human trafficking inevitably involves gangs. Uncle Chen, how come you always manage to get yourself tangled in dangerous situations?”

Chen An could see Ding Sheng was really concerned about him. Now he could only lie against his conscience, “While I stayed in the countryside, I saw some older people whose children had been abducted. They spent their entire fortune trying to find them, and a family was thus ruined…”

Chen An acted like he was really upset; as a matter of fact, he wasn’t entirely lying, it was also partly the truth.

He and Changle grew up in an orphanage, and later they were adopted and then abandoned by their foster parents. He’d seen too many broken families, too many people who couldn’t have a whole family.

“Ding Sheng, do you remember how the ferocious you behaved when trying to catch Ivanov before? When I saw you like that, I knew you are a man of justice. What I want to do now isn’t very much different from your principles: I want to help those who lost their children to find them.”

Looking for kidnapped children was the police’s responsibility in the first place. There had been international cooperation, the problem was, a lot of difficulties, different opinions and shared interest might come into it. So cooperation depended on whether the other party wanted it as well.
