"Cough, I just intended to record for a short while, but I noticed someone seemed to have run off. I figured he just wanted to stall you so you wouldn't pass him," Ye Ziying's expression immediately turned grim. "Then you should definitely bring your men to take action. We'll stop him together!"
Deng Yu offered a wry smile. "If I said we were waiting for an opportunity, would you believe me? Who would have thought he'd slip away so suddenly, and in the opposite direction too? He must have discovered us."
Originally, he had been in a good mood, but now with this incident, Deng Yu couldn't be happy. No matter what, he had to bear some responsibility. However, Ye Ziying's attention was still on his hand.
"Then let's get rid of this thing. It's better for both you and me!"
Deng Yu chuckled. "Old Ye, are you out of your mind? This guy clearly has no ill intentions. At most, I'll just get cursed at, but this fellow..."
"Can entertain me for a good while! Hahaha."
Ye Ziying's face turned green, but the General Bureau had regulations prohibiting private fights among members. He could only glare intently at Deng Yu. At this moment, Yi Xia, standing nearby, suddenly spoke up. "He has malicious intent! He's been targeting me all along, he must want to do something improper to me!"
Upon hearing this, everyone present was stunned. Ye Ziying abruptly tapped his head with his fingers, his expression filled with disappointment. "You still have the nerve to say that? If you two hadn't been uncooperative, would we have been led around like dogs?"
"Pfft!" A young man behind Deng Yu couldn't help but laugh. Perhaps out of politeness, he spoke first. "Old Ye, you don't have to talk about yourself like that. Even the best horses stumble sometimes."
Ye Ziying said coldly, "Old Deng, are you looking to have a one-on-one with me?" Although the General Bureau had rules against private fights, holding an open duel at the General Bureau was permissible. Ye Ziying's strength was among the top in the entire patrol team. Therefore, Deng Yu immediately backed down.
"Cough, let's go see what's going on first. They actually had to send someone to stop us."
"Damn it, you still have the nerve to say that? Why didn't you just go around him earlier?"
Deng Yu said somewhat awkwardly, "I only just reacted. I initially thought he was testing your strength."
Ye Ziying's face was cold. "It's best if that's the case. If it's for any other reason, you know the consequences!" I certainly know the consequences, which is why I'll never admit it was because the recording got stuck in my head! Deng Yu muttered inwardly, simultaneously giving a signal to the two newcomers he had brought.
The six of them spread out their movement techniques and, within minutes, reached the scene. By then, the guards at Third Master's courtyard, perhaps due to the previous orders from the grey-clothed man, still dared not approach. What met the eyes of the six was a scene of grey-clothed corpses.
"We're too late." Ye Ziying's expression had turned so dark it looked like it could drip water. Deng Yu also realized he might have caused trouble, his expression grave. "Who was that person just now? His strength is immense, and his purpose in stopping me was to kill these members of the Divine Envoy organization?"
Ye Ziying fell into thought. From this aspect alone, the opponent was clearly on the same side as the General Bureau, but the truth could not be definitively concluded. "Go, interrogate the people here!"
Ye Ziying quickly made the most sensible decision. However, he was unaware that due to the severity of the situation, Hu Tian and Third Master had not informed their subordinates about Second Master's affairs, only instructing them to obey the grey-clothed man's arrangements. Therefore, when Ye Ziying and the other five revealed their identities and began their investigation, they only learned that something very important was kept inside. As for what it was, no one could answer.
"Go! Call your master!" If the subordinates didn't know, surely the superiors would? Moreover, with so many grey-clothed men present, he dared say the master knew nothing? Ye Ziying and the other five sealed off the scene while also requesting the General Bureau to send actual enforcement and intelligence departments. Their primary duty was not this. Even though the six wanted to understand what had happened, according to regulations, they shouldn't linger here for long.
On the other side, Li Chonglou, under his Heavenly Eye ability, quickly met up with Ma San. Second Master had been knocked unconscious in the previous battle, with several ribs broken. When Li Chonglou saw him, his face was still pale.
"Is he alright?" Ma San said somewhat sheepishly, "Although I've returned to this line of work, it's my first time carrying someone in full combat. I didn't control my strength well." The absence of any other remarks proved he had checked, and Li Chonglou nodded. "He's fine. As long as the person is rescued, we should leave. The General Bureau people are here."
Ma San was startled, "So soon?" Li Chonglou didn't say more, just nodded, and then the two returned to the company together. This time, he had truly witnessed the foundation of the General Bureau. Merely some rookies possessed such strength. Both Yi Xia and Lian Ji, whom he had just fought, were significantly stronger than Yue Hai and Chen Peiyue. One had to remember that their talent was already considered very good, yet these two were younger! Furthermore, Ye Ziying's strength was also incredibly formidable. Despite his seemingly effortless demeanor earlier, relying solely on the soul fusion with Old Lin, a life-or-death battle against Ye Ziying might not have a clear winner.
"What I'm seeing now is likely just the tip of the iceberg of the General Bureau." Li Chonglou had never doubted the General Bureau's strength, but it was still exceeding his imagination. At this moment, he suddenly understood why experts like Meat Mountain could only be free agents. It seemed the General Bureau truly had no shortage of experts. "Perhaps Long Fei was just an anomaly." Li Chonglou suddenly recalled the unlucky fellow at the airport.
By the time they returned to the company, it was already afternoon. Hu Han was pacing anxiously in Li Chonglou's office, unable to stand still or sit, causing Zhou Tong, who was accompanying him, to feel dizzy. "I say, Xiao Hu, can you settle down? There's no point in being anxious now. If the person is still around, Brother Li will definitely bring him back."
"If the person is no longer here, then your anxiety is even more meaningless." Hu Han sighed deeply. "I understand, but how can I not worry? Without Second Master, I wouldn't be where I am today. To you guys, there might be Hu San, Hu Si, but for me..." Hu Han sighed again at this point. Zhou Tong frowned slightly and said, "You're being a bit too much of a God's perspective. If it were someone else, Brother Li might not even cooperate with him."
"But no matter what, Second Master is in trouble, and I can't be at peace."
"Alright." Seeing that his persuasion was useless, Zhou Tong decisively gave up.
