“Fine, then take me with you!”
Chen Xiao said coldly.
He thought to himself that if this brute was unreasonable, the Exorcism Division, being an official organization, couldn't possibly be unreasonable.
Rosie, hearing his words, frantically gave him signals and whispered, "Don't, Brother Chen..."
But it was too late for anything she said. Tong Jinjian sneered and said coldly, "Good, then all of you will come with me! Rosie, take them away!"
Chu Luo glanced deeply at Chen Xiao, his expression complicated, but he said nothing.
As for what he was thinking, it was impossible to guess.
Chen Xiao and Chu Luo were taken to the Exorcism Division.
On the surface, it was a foreign trade company. The company was large, and the staff they encountered were all in a hurry, appearing no different from ordinary office workers.
However, upon closer inspection, Chen Xiao noticed the difference.
These people, while appearing ordinary and low-key on the surface, were in fact all martial artists and cultivators.
Chen Xiao noticed that Chu Luo seemed to sense this as well and asked in a low voice, "How is it, are you scared now? You're not allowed to steal other people's things anymore!"
Chu Luo bit his lip and remained silent.
Chen Xiao added, "Don't worry, I've got your back, nothing will happen."
This time, Chu Luo finally spoke, "Can you just stop talking? If it weren't for you, I wouldn't have been brought in!"
Chen Xiao's brow furrowed, but upon reflection, it seemed to be true!
Then Chu Luo added in a low voice, "I told you, I was taking it, not stealing it!"
The two were led to an office. Tong Jinjian instructed, "Rosie, I'm going to report to the captain. You keep an eye on them. If they escape, you'll be held entirely responsible!"
Rosie glared at Tong Jinjian angrily but said nothing.
Tong Jinjian turned to Chen Xiao and the other and said, "You two better not have any crooked ideas, otherwise, the nature of this will be different!"
With that, Tong Jinjian turned and left the office, slamming the door shut!
As soon as he left, Rosie looked at Chen Xiao with a resentful expression and said, "Brother Chen, you shouldn't have come here!"
Chen Xiao was taken aback and asked confusedly, "Rosie, what do you mean by that? I just wanted to reason with this child and put in a good word for him. How did it involve me? I didn't do anything wrong!"
Rosie sighed, "Alas, Brother Chen, now that you're here, I'm afraid you won't be able to leave!"
Chen Xiao's brow furrowed, "Rosie, what exactly is going on?"
Chu Luo also looked at Chen Xiao incredulously, thinking that this department head was indeed not simple.
Rosie didn't care that Chu Luo was still there and said directly, "Brother Chen, after we left Bhu Guan Village last time, the Manjusaka flowers underground were destroyed by someone. Our captain has always suspected you. At that time, Group Leader Song was suspended for strongly supporting you, and recently the captain has been secretly investigating you and searching for evidence. Now that you're here, I'm afraid he might do something to you..."
"What? Investigating me?"
Chen Xiao's eyes were immediately filled with rage.
Rosie continued, "This Tong Jinjian just now is my new group leader. He's his captain's confidant. Having me under his command is also a way to monitor me."
Chen Xiao's gaze turned cold, and he asked in a low voice, "Rosie, is your captain monitoring me and might he do something to my family?"
If it wasn't absolutely necessary, Chen Xiao didn't want to be an enemy of the Exorcism Division, as the Exorcism Division was backed by the government, and Chen Xiao didn't want to be their enemy from the bottom of his heart.
However, if Chen Xiao was pushed too far, he wouldn't be afraid.
Rosie quickly shook her head, "Of course not, Brother Chen, what do you think of our Exorcism Division? Although I think our captain has some problems, he wouldn't be so reckless to that extent..."
Chen Xiao asked, "Rosie, tell me, what is your captain's name?"
Rosie immediately looked nervous, "Brother Chen? You're not going to do anything foolish, are you?"
Chen Xiao smiled slightly, "I am a patriotic and law-abiding citizen. I won't do anything foolish. It's just that you said your captain wants to deal with me, so I should at least know something about him."
"Alright then."
Rosie nodded and said, "Our captain's name is Lin Cheng. Brother Chen, I think things are not as serious as you imagine. As long as the misunderstanding is cleared up, it will be fine. It's just that the process of clearing up the misunderstanding might take some time..."
"Perhaps..."
Chen Xiao replied faintly.
However, he didn't have a good impression of this Captain Lin.
From the time this Lin obstructed Song Zijian's investigation, Chen Xiao felt something was not right.
Just then, Chu Luo, who had been silent, suddenly exclaimed!
"Damn, looking at it this way, the things you've done are much more serious than mine. I originally thought I had implicated you, but now it's hard to say who implicated whom!"
Rosie had almost forgotten about him when he was silent. His speaking reminded her.
Rosie put on a professional demeanor and said, "You like to talk, don't you? Then you will honestly explain to me now, where did your invisibility talisman come from?"
Chu Luo pursed his lips and fell silent again.
Rosie smiled coldly and suddenly stood up, "Not talking, huh? I have plenty of ways to make you talk!"
"What do you want to do?"
Chu Luo immediately became nervous.
"Scared now? Then will you tell me or not!"
Rosie asked sternly.
Rosie pouted and tilted her chin up, "I won't tell you!"
"You little brat, I don't believe I can't pry your mouth open..."
Chu Luo never expected that Rosie, who had been so docile in front of Chen Xiao, would turn into a tigress when dealing with him!
He was scared and quickly tried to escape, but fortunately, Chen Xiao helped him block Rosie.
"Forget it, Rosie, why are you scaring him? If I use a True Words Talisman, I guarantee he'll say whatever you ask!"
Chu Luo felt grateful when he heard the first half of the sentence, but he cursed in his heart when he heard the second half.
"No, I'll tell you, I'll tell you, okay..."
Chu Luo raised his hands in surrender.
According to him, he learned how to draw invisibility talismans during a summer vacation when he went traveling in the mountains and met an old Taoist priest who taught him.
This lie was full of loopholes. Rosie was about to ask again when the door opened, and Tong Jinjian returned.
He stared coldly at Chen Xiao and said with a fake smile, "Rosie, handcuff him. Captain Lin said that when he has time, he will personally interrogate this kid!"
