Chapter 36

“This girl. Damn it, pick up the phone.”

“I’m sorry, the user you called has already blacklisted you. Please try again later.”

“…”

Su Bancheng looked at Su Meng’s number on his phone. He had called her ten times in a row now, but she still refused to pick up. Now she has even blacklisted him. The corners of his mouth could not help but twitch.

Su Bancheng took a deep breath and placed the phone on the table. He looked at the woman standing in front of his desk, an extremely charming beauty. There was a gentle smile on the woman’s face, making her look not rigid at all. She was wearing an elegant tight dress with exquisite high heels. Her legs were slender and her perfect figure was enough to make a man who had been impotent for thirty years feel alive again.

Chen Jin smiled charmingly and said, “I thought Mengmeng was most afraid of you.”

Su Bancheng chuckled. “Mengmeng will only be afraid of me when she sees me.”

Su Bancheng shook his head and looked at Chen Jin. “Did you see who killed Sun Qinya?”

Chen Jin shook her head. “When I heard the commotion, I wasn’t much faster than the others. When we rushed to the room, the Cao brothers and Sun Qinya were already dead.”

Su Bancheng frowned. “I know of the Cao brothers that you mentioned. It’s understandable that Sun Qinya’s strength is not that great, but to be able to kill each of the Cao brothers in one move?”

“His strength is at least above that of a Level Six Martial Apprentice.”

“That’s right.”

Su Bancheng looked at Chen Jin and nodded. He thought for a moment and said, “Although a Martial Apprentice is not extraordinary, I can’t think of anyone who has the strength and the motive to kill Sun Qingya.”

Chen Jin thought for a moment and looked at Su Bancheng. “I do have a clue.”

Su Bancheng’s eyes lit up.

“What clue?”

“This afternoon, I heard from the Cao brothers that they caught a spy.”

“A spy?”

Su Bancheng looked at Chen Jin. “Name?”

“No.”

“What?”

Chen Jin rolled his eyes at Su Bancheng. “Please, Boss, I’ve only been undercover for less than a month, and you won’t let me sell my body. It’s already good enough that I found out about this.”

Su Bancheng was so angry that he laughed. “Chen Jin, you’re only one step away from becoming a martial artist. Selling your body. Is the only way to obtain information to sell your body?”

Chen Jin said charmingly, “But you have to admit that if I walk the path of lust, I can get any information very quickly.”

Su Bancheng was speechless.

“Piss off!”

“Okay, okay, I’ll stop teasing you.”

Chen Jin looked at Su Bancheng and chuckled. He stopped smiling. “After I found out about this, I asked around. There was someone I didn’t see that afternoon. However, I don’t know his name. I only know that others call him Shou Hou. He’s considered one of their own, but his strength is very low.”

Su Bancheng frowned.

“Skinny Monkey?”

“Yes, he disappeared in the afternoon. Then, at night, I planned to go up and take a look. As soon as I stepped out of the elevator, I was stopped by the four brothers.”

“Wait a minute.”

When Su Bancheng heard this, he couldn’t help but interrupt. He looked at Chen Jin. “Who are you talking about? The four brothers? Didn’t they leave Feng City with Xiao Jingnan? Why did they suddenly come back? When did they come back? Why didn’t our intelligence report show it?”

Chen Jin was stunned. Then, he looked at Su Bancheng. “You didn’t tell me either. When I went there, the four brothers were already there…”

Su Bancheng got up from his seat. He thought of something troubling.

Chen Jin noticed. “What happened?”

“Wait.” Su Bancheng raised his hand and made a gesture to Chen Jin. He called Su Meng again. Seeing the call not go through, he swore, then called Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu, who were still waiting outside for news.

The call went through.

“Su…”

“Where are you now?”

“…still at the scene.”

“Where’s Mengmeng? Have you seen Mengmeng?”

“She just left with Xu Bai. What’s wrong, Deputy Director?”

“Damn it.”

Su Bancheng covered his forehead and said, “Go after him immediately. Don’t ask why. Hurry.”

On the other end of the phone, Zheng Sen and Gu Hongyu did not dare ask any further questions when they heard Su Bancheng’s impatience. They hung up and started after Xu Bai.

Su Bancheng put down the phone and a trace of uneasiness flashed across his face.

Chen Jin stood up from the sofa. “What is it, boss?”

“Sun Qinya is dead. The four brothers are still alive. If Xiao Jingnan finds out, they won’t be able to survive. Now that they’ve seen Su Meng, what do you think they’ll do?”

“…”

Chen Jin was stunned for a moment before he understood what Su Bancheng meant.

“…Master.”

“Yeah.”

“You’re not angry, are you?”

On the way to the police station, Su Meng held the steering wheel with one hand and glanced at Xu Bai, who was sitting in the front passenger seat with his arms crossed and his eyes closed.

“Master is lying.”

“…”

Xu Bai opened his eyes and looked at Su Meng. Su Meng pouted, looking like a cute goldfish.

“You’re obviously angry.”

“I’m really not.” Xu Bai shook his head helplessly and smiled. “I’m just thinking about what to do next.”

Even without Su Meng, he would not give this case to Homeland Security.

He had said the reason before. Instead of letting someone else investigate this case, it was better to investigate it himself.

But…if he checked himself in, there was something he could not ignore. What was he going to use to close the case? He couldn’t possibly say that he had investigated himself and ended up arresting and convicting himself.

If that was the case, what was the point of him not letting go of this case? He might as well be direct and return to the branch office. He would find a cell and walk in himself.

Xu Bai had been thinking about this matter just now. Without arresting himself, how could he successfully complete the case?

Su Meng, still driving, blinked.

“What’s next?”

“That’s easy.”

Seeing that Xu Bai was not angry, Su Meng seemed a little more relieved. “Master, let’s catch the murderer together. Then, I can join the Special Disaster Team with you.”

At this point, Su Meng’s eyebrows danced. She was already fantasizing about what would happen after she and her master joined the special disaster team. Just thinking about it made Su Meng feel happy.

The corner of Xu Bai’s mouth twitched. He looked at Su Meng thoughtfully. “Mengmeng, you said last time that you wanted to join. What exactly is the reason that your uncle wants you to join?”

Su Meng looked at Xu Bai and kept quiet.

Seeing this, Xu Bai laughed.

“It’s okay. It’s okay if you can’t tell me.”

“No, Master.”

Upon hearing Xu Bai’s words, Su Meng’s expression became a little anxious. The expression on her face changed for a moment before she spoke. “Master, I’ll tell you, but you can’t tell anyone else.”

Xu Bai looked at Su Meng and nodded. “Okay.”

Seeing this, Su Meng sighed and spoke. “Our family is Daoist…”

“Stop!”

“Pfft!”

“…”
