"..."
Li Jianguo’s mouth twitched. He hadn’t expected things to get this absurd, going so far as to involve a nursing home.
The next moment, he dashed out, heading directly towards the nursing home.
He had already retired, but after clearing out the Night Organization, the subsequent work naturally fell to him to handle in its entirety.
Half an hour later,
Chen Shu sat on a chair, bored. No more assassins had appeared.
“Could that be it?”
He stroked his chin, preparing to call the official personnel to handle it.
*Screech!*
Just then, a black bird of prey swooped down and landed in the nursing home’s courtyard.
The door to the activity room was forcefully pushed open, and an old man walked in.
“Elder Li?”
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback, then put on a smile.
He pointed to the sacks of urea on the ground and said, “This is the harvest from my hard day’s work!”
"..."
Li Jianguo stared at the people peeking out from the sack openings. Most of them were elderly, all of them unconscious.
“What nursing home war god?”
“??”
Chen Shu’s mouth twitched. “Elder Li, these are all from the Night Organization!”
“Night?”
A hint of doubt flickered in Li Jianguo’s eyes. He found it hard to believe.
These frail, elderly, and infirm individuals… wasn’t this too careless?
“They aren’t as old as they look!”
Chen Shu shook his head. “They’ve all disguised themselves!”
“Are you sure?”
Li Jianguo raised an eyebrow and observed everyone up close, immediately noticing something amiss.
He quickly made a phone call, notifying the Dragon Guard personnel to come.
Then, he examined each person. They indeed didn’t seem like ordinary individuals, and he began to believe Chen Shu.
“Little Chen, your efficiency is truly high!”
Praise flickered in Li Jianguo’s eyes. “It’s only been a day.”
“Standard procedure, standard procedure!”
Chen Shu chuckled, feeling a bit awesome about himself.
Dismantling the Night Organization’s base took only a day, and now capturing assassins was also taking a day.
“I have a question I’d like to ask you…”
Li Jianguo’s eyes showed a hint of hesitation, but his curiosity was too overwhelming to contain.
“Please, Elder Li!”
“How exactly did you see through their identities?”
Li Jianguo quickly asked, “It’s fine if it’s inconvenient to say.”
“Actually, I was just suspicious.”
Chen Shu scratched his head. “My intuition told me these guys weren’t good people!”
“Just pure intuition?”
“Actually, intuition is quite important!”
Chen Shu’s expression turned serious as he looked out the window and said,
“As the famous botanist Hua Qiang once said, when you suspect a melon isn’t ripe, it’s already not ripe in your heart!”
“???”
Li Jianguo looked bewildered. What nonsense was he talking about?
“The moment I became suspicious, they were already criminals in my heart!”
Chen Shu stated, “All I needed to do was capture them!”
“What if you made a mistake?”
The national champion turning into a nursing home war god – that would definitely be front-page news!
“Chen Shu never makes mistakes!”
His expression became confident. “Only Bai Yang makes mistakes!”
"..."
Li Jianguo’s mouth twitched. The guy was dead, and he was still being blamed for Chen Shu’s mistakes…
As they were talking, ten Dragon Guard members had already arrived.
Chen Qinghai wasn't there; as a minister, he couldn't be everywhere at once. The leader was a Golden Beast Tamer.
“Elder Li!”
The Dragon Guard’s expression was respectful, then they looked at the urea sacks on the ground and were stunned.
“Take them all back, send people to interrogate them, and see if you can find any important information!”
Li Jianguo instructed, “They are all from the Night Organization, so there’s no need for hesitation!”
“Yes!”
The ten Dragon Guards nodded and led all the assassins away.
“Based on estimates, these are probably all the assassins in the capital.”
Li Jianguo turned to look at Chen Shu and said earnestly,
“Little Chen, thank you again for this.”
Chen Shu waved his hand.
“Elder Li, you’re too kind! Overturning a nursing home is no challenge for me!”
"..."
Li Jianguo’s mouth twitched, feeling something was a bit off.
“In the recent period, seven people have been assassinated, and dozens injured. If this drags on, casualties will likely increase.”
“Someone died?”
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. It seemed the assassins had all been deployed recently.
Li Jianguo sighed. “Not everyone can evade the attacks of the Dark Group.”
Then, he composed himself and looked at Chen Shu, actually bowing!
“On behalf of the authorities, thank you.”
“Elder Li, I can’t accept this!”
Chen Shu quickly helped him up and said, “Black-on-black is just a small matter for me.”
"..."
With that, Chen Shu turned and left on Xiao Huang.
He didn’t rush back to the academy but wandered around the sky. Having come out, he naturally wanted to cherish the opportunity.
Besides, there might still be scattered assassins in the capital, so it was a good chance to patrol.
Several more days passed quickly.
While Chen Shu was loafing around, he luckily captured another assassin.
After that, he found no more, but no more assassination incidents occurred in the capital.
At the entrance of Huaxia Academy,
“Little Chen, most of the assassins in the capital are gone now, and even if there are any, they likely wouldn’t dare show themselves!”
Li Jianguo’s eyes held a smile; he had finally breathed a sigh of relief.
“That’s good!”
Chen Shu nodded and murmured to himself, “Where the Southern Jiang Bandit resides, no other evil forces are allowed!”
"..."
Li Jianguo’s mouth twitched, but he was starting to get used to Chen Shu’s way of speaking.
“By the way, Elder Li, do other cities need me to visit?”
Chen Shu asked eagerly, still reluctant to return to the academy.
“No need. The Beast Tamer Association has issued missions, and civilian powerhouses will be responsible.”
Li Jianguo shook his head. There were probably very few assassins left in the entire country, so they couldn’t keep expending official resources.
“Civilians?”
Chen Shu was slightly taken aback. “I do have a recommendation!”
“Who?”
“A friend of mine, Xie Sunan! He’s an investigation expert. He might even be able to photograph the underwear of Night assassins!”
"..."
Li Jianguo’s mouth gaped. “Is he a respectable person?”
“Respectable, extremely respectable!”
Chen Shu nodded. “He specializes in spreading the light of love!”
“I’ll send someone to find him.”
Li Jianguo nodded. “Now, you focus on preparing for the World Championship. I heard there’s news.”
“Really?”
Chen Shu’s expression jolted. He had finally received news of the long-awaited World Championship.
The key point was that the rewards from the national competition were already so generous; what about the World Championship?
Moreover, the system always presented options during competitions!
“Go back! Little Qin and the others will give you the specific details!”
“Okay!”
Chen Shu nodded and turned back into Huaxia Academy.
Little did he know that his suggestion would lead Xie Sunan to gain official recognition from being an ordinary civilian beast tamer…
