Chapter 951 Stabbed to the Heart!
"Uh..." Xie Wei's face was full of awkwardness.
After the incident occurred, Xie Wei had been sending people to investigate it.
To set an example, he personally went to work on it. However, the more he investigated, the more people went missing. This shook the higher authorities and alerted Governor Wang.
Governor Wang Zhonghua then issued a strict order, requiring the Yanhuang Iron Brigade and the Martial Alliance to jointly investigate. Today, he issued another strict order: if the matter could not be clarified within seven days, Xie Wei would be removed from his position as the Jiangnan Provincial Head of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade!
Xie Wei had only just taken office, and if he resigned, it would be a great disgrace!
Therefore, Xie Wei called Wei Changgeng for help. Wei Changgeng actually told him to find Chen Xuan. Xie Wei did not trust Chen Xuan and thus did not go to him. However, two days later, dozens of people disappeared at once, bringing the total number of missing persons to one hundred and forty-eight!
Xie Wei could no longer sit still. He decided to try his luck and came to find Chen Xuan.
"Mr. Chen, what are your thoughts?"
Chen Xuan narrowed his eyes and sneered, "I think I have a rough idea of what's going on!"
"Hmm?"
Xie Wei was stunned and looked at Chen Xuan in surprise. "Mr. Chen, what exactly is going on?"
Chen Xuan said faintly, "To be honest, I once heard about similar disappearance cases abroad. At that time, the number of people missing abroad was even more terrifying. Later, that small country asked for help from Xia Country. That country was a friendly nation with very close ties to Xia Country, and Xia Country immediately sent people to investigate the matter."
"After investigation, it turned out that someone was developing a potion that could create mutants. That potion could make people very strong, allowing them to transform from ordinary martial artists into Inner Strength Grandmasters, or even Great Grandmasters!"
"The reason those people disappeared was that they were captured for live experiments."
What Chen Xuan was talking about was precisely the mysterious potion incident!
He had encountered it before when he met the Hall Master of the Fire God Hall of the Chang Le Chamber of Commerce, Fire God. The Eight Great Vajras were mutants created by that potion.
"Mr. Chen, you're saying that those people disappeared because someone was conducting live experiments? You can't be joking, can you?"
Xie Wei looked astonished after hearing this.
As a member of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade, Xie Wei was well aware of all major and important cases. He had never heard of such bizarre things. Chen Xuan's words sounded like a story.
To verify this matter, Xie Wei called the Yanhuang Iron Brigade's archives department, but he couldn't find any record of this case.
He couldn't help but become suspicious. "Don't you believe me? How about we make a bet?" Chen Xuan, seeing through Xie Wei's thoughts, said with a smile.
From the beginning, Xie Wei had not trusted him, and Chen Xuan wanted to teach him a small lesson.
"Alright, a bet it is!" Xie Wei said confidently.
"If you lose, you will clean the Xuanji Hall for me for half a month."
Xie Wei did not back down. "If you lose, you will stand guard at the entrance of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade for ten days!"
"It's a deal!"
Thus, the two struck a deal.
"Then let's get going!"
Chen Xuan stood up and waved his hand.
"Where are we going?" Xie Wei frowned and looked at Chen Xuan.
"Of course, to investigate the missing people. What else would we do?" Chen Xuan smiled and walked towards the exit.
"What potion, what mutants, it's all a joke. Let's see how you embarrass yourself!"
Xie Wei sneered at Chen Xuan's retreating back.
Suddenly, Xie Wei regretted it. Why did he make a bet with Chen Xuan? It was a waste of time. He knew that his time was running out. But then again, he had no clues at all at the moment.
Afterward, Xie Wei gritted his teeth and quickly followed.
The two arrived at a underground garage spanning over a thousand square meters. Inside the garage were rows and rows of luxury cars, the cheapest being Audi A8s costing several million.
More expensive ones were Rolls-Royces and Lamborghinis costing over ten million, and even more expensive ones like Bugatti Veyrons and Hennessey Venom GTs worth tens of millions, or even hundreds of millions. It was even more luxurious than a major luxury car exhibition in the country.
What was even more shocking was that most of these luxury cars were parked in the underground garage, gathering dust, as if rarely driven.
"This is such a waste!"
Xie Wei looked at the luxury cars that made him envious, breathing fire with envy, and gritted his teeth, "Damn capitalism..."
He was a car enthusiast, but his family background was ordinary when he was young, and he didn't have much money. So, he poured his dreams into collecting car models. He would buy a model car with his salary, and he had a room dedicated to storing his models.
All along, Xie Wei had been proud of this!
But these people, their actual cars were even more luxurious than his models. This was truly disheartening!
He strongly suspected that this guy was just here to annoy him.
"Drive!"
Chen Xuan casually picked a clean car and said faintly.
"You want me to drive for you?"
Seeing Chen Xuan standing still, Xie Wei frowned.
"Otherwise, should I drive? Don't forget, I'm the one helping you with the case right now!"
"Alright!"
Xie Wei took a deep breath, gritted his teeth, and said, "I'll see how you investigate this case!"
After saying that, Xie Wei got into the car. Looking at the luxurious interior, the huge LCD instrument panel, and the soft leather, everything was perfect!
Soon, Xie Wei adapted to his role as the driver. He started the engine and stepped on the accelerator. A roar erupted.
"As expected of a Bugatti Veyron, it's truly amazing!"
Listening to the roaring engine sound, Xie Wei's eyes were filled with excitement.
Xie Wei was the head of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade and held a high position. Logically, he was not short of money. However, Xie Wei was diligent and never accepted bribes. He was also not from a wealthy family, so he truly couldn't afford luxury cars worth tens of millions or even hundreds of millions.
"You drive quite smoothly, it seems you're quite capable of being a driver."
Chen Xuan's playful voice came from the back seat.
Making the head of the Yanhuang Iron Brigade drive was quite satisfying.
"Hmph, I just want to solve the case faster!"
Xie Wei calmed down, but the excitement in his eyes was still evident and hard to conceal.
"Go to 82 Fanhua Road."
Following the address given by Chen Xuan, Xie Wei drove towards 82 Fanhua Road. Although the Bugatti Veyron was the emperor of luxury cars, it could only be driven at a snail's pace in the congested city.
Of course, if Chen Xuan were driving, it would be a different story.
It took them a full hour to reach Fanhua Road.
Fanhua Road was a dense urban village. The walls were marked with the character "拆" (demolish), indicating that it was about to be demolished. Most of the surrounding residents had already moved out.
Their arrival attracted the attention of many people.
"Why are we coming here?" Xie Wei couldn't help but ask.
"Looking for someone. They should be very useful to us."
Chen Xuan's eyes narrowed.
Fire God had said that the Eight Great Vajras obtained them from that guy. As long as they found that guy, they would find clues to the potion.
