He turned his head to look.
“Does the higher-ups really care about how many people died?”
Brother Bi stood up but didn’t answer his question, “The search is over, let’s go.”
Pei Jinye followed.
Zhou Ye scratched his head, sighed, and followed as well.
…
…
Pei Jinye returned to the Jiang ancestral home, exhausted.
The high-intensity search had continued until three in the morning.
His spiritual power had dropped to the last five points, so much so that he almost got caught when he came back.
He opened the drawer.
He took out two tubes of Blue Potion and drank them straight down.
The refreshing liquid entered his mouth.
His spiritual power rapidly began to recover: 0.5+0.5+0.5+…
Looking at the emptied Blue Potion, Pei Jinye frowned.
The resources provided by the Jiang family had been dwindling lately.
“Is Da Peng City just too small… The domains controlled by the Jiang family simply don’t extend to the core resource areas for cultivation.”
Pei Jinye lay in a soaking tub.
Absorbing the essence within the medicinal bath.
“At this rate, the Jiang family’s resources will only last me another twenty days at most. What about after twenty days?”
“If I take over the main house’s trading houses, I could perhaps add a bit more fuel to the fire.”
“I need to find a way to expand the domain…”
“Buzz buzz.”
The phone vibrated.
A message came through from the Silver Art.
[It seems the Federation people have been searching non-stop, are you okay?]
Pei Jinye picked up the phone and typed, “I’m fine. Have you gotten any results from the interrogation?”
“Unfortunately, just the outer ranks, very little useful information was obtained.”
After sending that, Silver Art quickly sent another message, “On December 19, which is this evening at around seven, the Asura Cargo Ship coming from the North Continent will temporarily dock at Da Peng City Seaport. For some reason, the Sand Flame Association seems to not want this ship to dock.”
Pei Jinye raised his eyebrows slightly.
He hadn’t heard any of this news before.
He typed, “Tell the Elder about the Asura matter to see if there are any clues, and about the Sand Flame Association… find their real stronghold in Da Peng City.”
“Roger that.”
“Be careful with everything.”
Silver Art responded instantly, “Wow, Demon King, you actually care about people now.”
Pei Jinye: “…”
What kind of talk is that, let’s just unfriend each other.
Suddenly, his gaze fixed.
He reached out to touch.
[Universal Extraordinary Gene Fragment +1]
“The fourth fragment… What to synthesize with it?”
…
Eight-thirty in the morning.
Investigation Team’s Base.
Brother Bi and Zhou Ye appeared, yawning constantly.
After working until the early hours last night, they had to come to work again today… the feeling was truly something.
“Last night, as soon as my head hit the pillow, I was out like a light.” Zhou Ye yawned several times in a row.
Brother Bi was also dozy, “Let’s go to the morning briefing first.”
Nine o’clock sharp in the morning.
Inside meeting room 401.
All members of Section Two had arrived.
Lin Xiawei announced that the case of the mummified corpse had been cracked, immediately eliciting surprise from many colleagues.
“It’s been solved?”
“Captain, who’s the murderer?”
“That’s so sudden.”
Lin Xiawei was concise, “According to the announcement from Xing Tian, the murderer is Tuxin, the President of the Simon Association. It was some kind of sacrificial murder gimmick.”
The others looked doubtful.
“Tuxin?”
“He seems to have died…”
“Wasn’t he killed at Broken Cloud Mountain?”
Lin Xiawei nodded, “It has been confirmed to be Tuxin. As for the malicious entity sacrificed, the investigation based on traces left at the scene has been identified as a Star Space Creature.”
“A Star Space Creature?”
The faces of everyone present changed.
“Why has that thing resurfaced?”
“When that thing appeared before, it almost decimated the Southern Continent. They had just disappeared, so how could they reappear? Could it be that the chaos that happened on the Southern Continent back then is about to unfold here in Central State?”
Pei Jinye watched the shocked expressions on their faces and remained silent.
Even Brother Bi’s face showed a slight change.
Fortunately, Lin Xiawei said at this moment, “For now, the monitoring from Xing Tian indicates that everything is normal. How the Star Space Creature appeared with Tuxin is still something we need to investigate…”
“Additionally, regarding last night’s explosion at the seaport, the higher-ups are taking this very seriously, even Central State is paying attention. You might need to be busier for a while… Whether it is someone related to the explosion or other criminals, we have to thoroughly root them out this time.”
“One more thing, there have been a lot of unfamiliar faces in Da Peng City lately. Warn those that need warning, and arrest those who need arresting. I’ll take responsibility if anything happens. Any questions? If not, let’s get to work.”
“Understood!”
Everyone dispersed to carry out their tasks.
Lin Xiawei didn’t keep Pei Jinye behind separately as she had a high-level meeting to attend.
Members of Section Two continued their search operations alongside the logistics personnel.
Just last night, Zhou Ye lamented missing the criminal.
Today, Section Two successfully captured a gang of criminals who had set up a small-scale illicit drug production line and even had heavy weaponry.
The arrest was exceedingly dangerous.
Zhou Ye, shot three times, couldn’t suppress the smile on his face.
“Second Class Merit, I’ve earned it this time, right?”
Brother Bi pressed him back onto the stretcher with one hand, “You won’t be left out of the merits, just don’t freaking move.”
Pei Jinye looked at the doctor, “Can you save his leg?”
The doctor’s gaze was grave.
“It’s going to be difficult, let’s get him to the operating room… I suggest you start the paperwork for a prosthetic now.”
Pei Jinye and Brother Bi exchanged glances.
…
Outside the operating room.
Brother Bi instinctively wanted to smoke, but was fiercely glared at by the nurse, so he resentfully put his cigarette away and sighed, “If this kid keeps this up, who knows if he’ll end up still looking like a human.”
