Chapter 42: Ambushed by a Mysterious Person, Are You Studying for Graduate School?
On the way back, Bai Yu confirmed that the wealthy man named He Chenming was the owner of Number Eight Villa.
‘The Blood Pi Xiu is a treasure. I even obtained the complete cultivation method from the intelligence, so I can’t miss out.’
‘Moreover, if the Blood Pi Xiu is taken by someone else, it will cause considerable trouble later. But if I obtain it, it means I can kill more enemies.’
‘One way or another, I’m winning big!’
After entering the city, I took on another case and went to the scene to investigate.
This case was committed by a relatively rare Dark Creature.
The collected evidence was quickly handed over to the Analysis Team.
Afterward, I was able to relax and returned to the bureau.
After Bai Yu handed over the Blood Rage Flower to the people in the bureau’s laboratory, he returned to his room, wrote down some things he had seen that morning, and wanted to find more answers from the known information as much as possible.
“He Chenming, Number Eight Villa, the Blood Gathering Vine was stolen, but the enemy was kind enough not to destroy the rest? That’s a bit strange.”
“And this Blood Rage Flower, although He Chenming’s explanation was quite clear, I don’t know if there’s any trickery involved.”
“However, when it comes to Vampire Clan Modifications, it has to be the Lei Family! I first obtained intelligence on the Lei Family, and they are an Ancient Martial Arts Family, definitely a major tumor.”
“In Tianhai City, I did find a Lei Family. The family controls the Heavenly Luck Group, involved in logistics, shipping, hotels, real estate, and other major industries, with substantial assets.”
“It’s just that the Lei Family’s main territory is in Jiangbei, and I can’t access it.”
This gave him a headache.
If he directly said the Lei Family’s research institute had problems, he didn’t even know where the research institute was.
He might be framed first, imprisoned, and then commit suicide.
Unable to think of any information, he could only sigh deeply and look at today’s intelligence again.
The Rainstorm was a given.
As for Liu Ruoxi…
On his way back, he learned from Sister Feifei that Liu Ruoxi’s father was a two-star Elite Investigator in the Investigation Bureau, possessing Spirit Yuan Realm strength!
He died in the line of duty more than two years ago, around the time the original owner was pursuing Liu Ruoxi.
The job ranks in the Investigation Bureau are: Ordinary Investigator 1-5, Senior Investigator 1-3, Elite Investigator 1-3.
Above that are Ace and Legend.
An Elite Investigator is already qualified to serve as a deputy head of a branch or the main bureau.
“Then, Liu Ruoxi also has two older brothers, both with cultivation talent.”
“But only Liu Ruoxi is frail, struggling to even reach the Qi Gathering Realm.”
“I should know enough now, right? Should I redeem this intelligence?”
He didn’t want to redeem it before because he never expected Liu Ruoxi’s identity to be so special. He thought she was just an ordinary student who looked good.
After all, why would a young lady like that have a few meals with an ordinary person like him?
Now that he understood her situation, he felt she must be hiding secrets, and he no longer hesitated. Bai Yu directly acquired the intelligence.

3. Mysterious Person’s Identity:
The Mysterious Person’s identity remains a mystery, suspected to be a special Alien Race.
4. Liu Ruoxi’s Secret:
Preliminary investigations suggest that Liu Ruoxi may possess a special identity or ability, which could be the cause of the attack. However, no related intelligence was obtained from the victim. 】
“Attacked?”
“Multiple Vampire Clan Modified Beings, a Mysterious Person.”
“Special identity or ability? Interesting.”
“The intelligence I missed earlier with the keyword ‘Party,’ could it be related to this?”
Regardless, Bai Yu quickly took note.
Liu Ruoxi ultimately did not get hurt.
It seemed that even if he didn’t intervene, there wouldn’t be any problems.
However, he couldn’t help but feel a trace of curiosity towards Liu Ruoxi and the Mysterious Person.
“Later, I need to consider whether to communicate with the Captain and see what’s going on.”
Afterward, Bai Yu went to complete his running mission.
It was no exaggeration to say that he could now maintain a speed of 7 meters per second for his 10-kilometer run.
He could complete thirty kilometers in a little over an hour.
“Hoo~”
He trained for a whole afternoon using the various facilities within the Investigation Bureau.
Bai Yu returned to his room and took a shower.
And the Ten Spirit Nourishing Soup was also simmering.
After showering, he sat on the sofa, planning to drink the soup while watching some short dramas and enjoy life.
“Knock, knock, knock~”
A knock sounded at the door, and Bai Yu frowned.
“Who is it?”
There was no response from the other side. He looked through the Cat’s Eye.
Great! A White Coat!
He felt a little smug: ‘Finally couldn’t hold back, huh?’
He opened the door.
Professor Wang Wen sniffed and asked, “Are you making that soup?”
“Yeah, what, Professor, do you want to come in and try some too?”
As soon as he said that, Professor Wang Wen’s pride kicked in, but he still honestly entered, walked to the kitchen, lifted the pot lid, and looked at the soup being cooked.
He thought: ‘The ingredients are indeed correct!’
Bai Yu said seriously, “Professor, you are so rudely looking at someone else’s Research Results. Isn’t that plagiarism?”
He didn’t think his actions were improper at first, but when Bai Yu brought up Scientific Research plagiarism, Professor Wang Wen realized that this statement was indeed correct!
From his subsequent feelings after drinking the soup a few days ago, this thing was definitely more than just ordinary nourishment.
After thinking for a moment, he said, “Tell me, how much is this pot of soup?”
“Ten thousand… Contribution Points.”
“What!? Why don’t you just rob someone!?”
“You call this robbing? Professor Wang Wen, you are buying this pot of soup to research it. If you truly research it, it will be worth far more than ten thousand Contribution Points?”
Professor Wang Wen heard this and snorted, “Do you think this soup can directly be written into a Thesis? I’m buying it just to research the principle behind enhancing the nourishing effect of food, as part of a subsequent Thesis.”
“Then Professor Wang Wen, you might be a bit ignorant. This soup itself can be a major research topic.”
“Do you understand research?”
“Do you understand this soup?”
“Hey! Then tell me how much it costs for me to try it, and I’ll see if it’s as exaggerated as you say.”
“One thousand per bowl, take what you want.”
Professor Wang Wen was usually treated with great courtesy by everyone he met. But this brat Bai Yu had such an attitude, making him somewhat displeased.
However, Bai Yu had just mentioned Scientific Research plagiarism, and if they argued about it, it would be bad for his reputation.
Soon, Professor Wang Wen scooped a large bowl of soup, filled with spirit dates and meat, and slowly tasted it.
Bai Yu drank his own quietly, thinking: This professor has a bit of a temper. Should I kick him out and find someone else to cooperate with?
After about 10 minutes, as Professor Wang Wen tasted the soup, his expressions changed in a rich and colorful manner.
He only wished he could use instruments to study it.
“Professor Wang Wen, do you want more?”
“Do you want more money?”
“Nonsense! It’s free money, why not earn it!”
“Then give me another bowl.”
He drank another bowl.
This time, Professor Wang Wen’s eyes were much brighter, and a smile of excitement appeared on his face.
But seeing Bai Yu beside him, his smile froze, and then he coughed lightly, “I apologize for my bad attitude earlier. Your soup is indeed extraordinary!”
“Hmm. Behaving yourself now?”
“.”
How could this kid talk like that! So rude. But upon careful consideration, he himself wasn’t very polite either.
What should I do?
Suddenly, he thought of something and said, “I heard you are a student at Tianhai City University, right? And you are in your Senior Year this year. Do you have any plans for postgraduate studies?”
