Chapter 25: He Called Me Stupid! Black Blood Blade
“She’s your cousin?”
Liu Feifei’s tone was somewhat excited.
Upon hearing that someone knew her, Chen Man immediately said excitedly, “Yes! We even bathed together when we were kids, we were very close.”
Bai Yu: ???
I don’t have this memory!
If something like this had happened, our parents would have teased me about it, right? But he had never heard of it.
Chen Man was only a year older than him, and if their parents hadn’t mentioned it, she wouldn’t have remembered it either.
After recalling carefully, he suddenly remembered that his cousin was a habitual liar.
This statement probably didn’t count as a lie for her.
On the contrary, Liu Feifei’s eyes lit up, and she said excitedly, “Do you have photos? I want to see!”
“Uh, parents said there are no pictures.”
Seeing this, Liu Feifei was a little disappointed, “Okay.”
She had no suspicion about human nature.
Bai Yu said speechlessly, “Sister Feifei, I’ll buy you nine walnuts when we get back, to help you supplement your brain.”
“??? Are you calling me stupid? Tell me, where am I stupid!?”
Liu Feifei said angrily, how could he call her stupid!?
That hateful guy!
Hmph~ I’m not talking to you anymore!
Bai Yu was speechless.
He just stole a glance at Li Yunbin and the others who were watching the show beside him.
As for that group of leaders, seeing that Li Yunbin didn’t mind, they all remained silent.
Chen Man, however, ignored all this and said to Bai Yu, “Why did you come to my place? You didn’t even say hello beforehand.”
“Let’s go, why don’t we go for a meal together? You can bring all your friends.”
Chen Man’s actions clearly disregarded the occasion.
If Bai Yu’s status were low, he would probably lose his job.
Bai Yu said helplessly, trying to maintain some dignity, “I’m busy with important matters.”
“Hmph! How many years has it been since we last met!? At least five or six years, right? You won’t even have a meal with me.”
Bai Yu: Heh heh~ Don’t you have any idea?
Chen Man was not stupid at all; she knew that the meal wouldn’t happen.
Her behavior was just to show that she and Bai Yu were related.
Then, she changed the subject and said, “We haven’t added each other as friends yet. How about we add each other now, and I’ll contact you when you’re done with your business.”
“Okay.”
After adding each other as friends, Chen Man left happily.
Many employees on the way also saw this scene.
In their eyes, the story was: Chen Man seemed to have a connection with a big shot.
Following the direction Chen Man left, one could see her few close friends, who were all stunned and would definitely ask her about it later.
Chen Man would definitely brag about this incident.
Finally, after seeing off his cousin, Bai Yu looked at the captain and said helplessly, “Captain, let’s get back to business.”
Li Yunbin’s mood was very good at this moment, and he showed a rare, hearty smile, saying, “I didn’t expect you, kid, to encounter such a predicament.”
“.I’m a normal person, okay?”
On the way to the office area.
The factory workers had all left, and there were few people on the road.
Li Yunbin said directly, “The murderer in this case has cruel methods and extremely evil energy. There might be a conflict later, so everyone needs to be careful.”
To Bai Yu’s surprise, Deputy Director Xu asked, “What level?”
Bai Yu: Have these people already understood to this extent?
He only found out about the grading system last night during his test. Although Captain Li Yunbin was only at the Qi Gathering Realm, his tested level a few months ago was Level 14!
“The residual energy at the crime scene is already Fifth Level. Their actual combat power might be between Level 8 and Level 10.”
Hearing this, Deputy Director Xu became much more serious.
There were a total of five leaders who followed. Among them, two seemed not to understand the level classification. They wanted to ask but felt the occasion was inappropriate.
At this moment, the Factory Director’s phone rang.
He felt a bit awkward, then stole a glance and saw it was a message from the person sent to fetch reinforcements.
After reading it, he quickly reported, “Group Leader Li, Zhu Chen’s expression was a bit strange when he heard that the factory was looking for him. So, the Workshop Director who was sent immediately called over his entire group of about ten people to avoid suspicion.”
“Mm, I know.”
With more people, the situation would naturally be harder to control, and the aftermath would be troublesome if a fight broke out.
But at least it was better than apprehending them in a crowded place.
Office building.
As soon as everyone entered, they began to make arrangements and plans.
The leaders quickly came up with an excuse to summon them: to present an advanced award, thereby motivating other employees.
On the way.
The Workshop Director, responsible for fetching them, said naturally, “You guys are lucky this time. Almost every group is lazy. To boost production enthusiasm, we plan to select an advanced group and give out bonuses!”
“After much deliberation, a leader casually mentioned your group, and you were chosen.”
The workers from the same group who followed heard this and became somewhat excited.
“Director, how much is the bonus?”
“Yeah, it won’t be stingy, right?”
“Two thousand per person!”
“Two thousand!”
Everyone was a little excited. Although it wasn’t a lot, it was like getting money for nothing.
However, Zhu Chen, in the crowd, had a noticeably serious expression.
He hadn’t seen any leaders or investigators from the Investigation Bureau when he got off work, but he had overheard people discussing it as he passed by.
Having done something wrong, he was naturally more suspicious.
‘What if they’re here to arrest me?’
Although he was ruthless in killing, his intelligence wasn’t very high. Even if he suspected it might be a trap, he didn’t want to reveal himself completely now, so he could only follow the crowd.
This is indecisiveness and poor ability.
Inside the office building.
After a brief discussion, most of the arrangements were made.
From the second-floor window, Bai Yu could already see the approaching group.
He took out the Golden Page, wanting to test if the Tracking Technique was effective.
He input Spiritual Energy.
The mass of black energy in the book page clearly reacted, beginning to spin continuously.
The golden light on the surface of the page flickered incessantly, growing brighter and brighter.
Li Yunbin and the others also saw this scene.
“If the suspect makes any abnormal moves, act immediately.”
“Understood!”
“Feifei, protect Bai Yu later.”
“Hmph! He called me stupid.”
Bai Yu: “.”
Although she said that, Liu Feifei was certainly thinking of protecting Bai Yu as much as possible.
But at this moment, a Golden Light shot out from the book page and landed on Bai Yu’s forehead.
A piece of information surged into his mind.
He vaguely sensed a fated confrontation. At the same time, he understood that the other side had detected him!
“Not good! They’ve found me!”
Li Yunbin and the others didn’t know what was happening to Bai Yu, but they chose to believe him immediately.
‘Kid, they’ve come for you!’
Zhu Chen was stunned for a moment, his mind not catching up, and he asked, ‘What’s wrong?’
‘Take me out.’
‘There are too many people now, it will expose us.’
‘You idiot!’
The force within his body began to surge into him forcefully, and his eyes gradually turned black.
Zhu Chen gripped the Black Blood Blade, his eyes flashing with dark, evil light.
At this moment, ‘he’ could sense Bai Yu’s aura from afar, a power that filled him with extreme hatred!
‘Heh heh~ I didn’t expect to meet so soon.’
His coworkers in front noticed the abnormality and turned back to ask, “Zhu Chen, what’s wrong?”
The Workshop Director, who was responsible for leading them, turned back and saw the deep blackness in his eyes, shouting, “Run, he’s a monster!”
The surrounding coworkers didn’t know about the existence of Extraordinary monsters and didn’t react immediately.
However, a few people, seeing the Workshop Director fleeing, were quick-witted and immediately ran away.
Suddenly, Zhu Chen, holding a dagger, stabbed at the closest coworker, but was blocked by a cyan Barrier.
He increased the force, and with a ‘crackling’ sound, it shattered.
Jiang Chen called out a warning, “Run!”
But the person who was attacked, seeing the deep black eyes, was so terrified that he froze in place, unable to move.
In an instant, the dagger pierced through the Barrier and lunged towards the person’s heart.
His body rapidly turned black and withered.
Zhu Chen glanced at the investigators rushing towards him, flashed, and turned into a Black Shadow.
Flickering, he appeared fifty meters away, on the verge of escape.
But a massive blue Barrier blocked his path, faintly forming a Barrier.
With a “boom” of collision, Zhu Chen retreated from his afterimage form, his eyes hardening as he turned to face Li Yunbin and the other six pursuers.
“I didn’t expect you to find me so quickly.”
