Chapter 36 Distrust

Yuan Muye looked at Deputy Director Liu's smiling face and said awkwardly, "Since Deputy Director Liu is interested, then I'll tell you about it."

He now felt more and more that there was something wrong with Deputy Director Liu himself.

Even the slightest thing would cause him to generate negative emotion points towards Yuan Muye.

Moreover, Yuan Muye vaguely felt that Deputy Director Liu seemed to be probing him for some kind of secret.

After he finished speaking, Deputy Director Liu still looked doubtful and continued, "Is that all, Deputy Director Yuan?"

Yuan Muye said, "That's right, that's all. Being able to come back this time was truly a narrow escape from death."

"Deputy Director Yuan, you're doing all this for the people, for the General Administration. Everyone will remember your hard work and dedication."

After exchanging a few more pleasantries, Yuan Muye left.

At this moment, Deputy Director Liu looked at Yuan Muye's back, his eyes filled with an eerie light. Then, a black shadow suddenly emerged from his shoulder, and it let out a somewhat滄桑 (cāngsāng, vicissitudes of life) voice, "Do you think this kid is the person you're looking for?"

Deputy Director Liu's mouth revealed a cold smile, "Most likely, but we still need to find a chance to verify it."

As Yuan Muye walked out, he felt a chill climbing up his back, cold and creepy, making him quite uncomfortable.

This feeling only lessened a lot after he left Deputy Director Liu's office.

There's definitely something wrong with this Deputy Director Liu?

But what exactly is the problem? Yuan Muye couldn't put his finger on it for a while, but Yuan Muye was clearly wary of Deputy Director Liu now.

Continuing like this isn't a long-term solution. He still needs to think of a way to break the situation.

"Brother Yuan, you're here."

Wang Yajie's voice suddenly rang out, bringing Yuan Muye back to his senses, "Yeah, is the car ready?"

Wang Yajie said with a smile, "It's been ready for a while. Let's go back. Xiaojian is waiting for us downstairs."

"Okay."

Yuan Muye didn't say anything more and started walking downstairs. He got into the car, Yuan Muye started the car. On the road, many people took advantage of the daylight to leave Yanjiang County and return to Jiang City.

However, many people are now stuck in Yanjiang County and are not easily allowed to leave.

In the car, Xiaojian said to Yuan Muye, "Brother Yuan, can I really join you guys like Brother Wang and become a member of the Paranormal Special Forces?"

A look of hope appeared on Xiaojian's face.

After hearing this, Yuan Muye smiled and said, "Xiaojian, weren't you very resentful towards the people of the Paranormal Special Forces?"

When Yuan Muye first met Xiaojian, Xiaojian didn't give him a good look at all.

Xiaojian gave a simple and honest smile and said, "Brother Yuan, that's because I didn't know there were people like you and Brother Wang in the Paranormal Special Forces back then. Otherwise, I definitely wouldn't have misunderstood. If I join the Paranormal Special Forces in the future, I'll be just like you."

After hearing this, Yuan Muye smiled and said, "Alright, you can follow your Brother Wang in the future and study hard."

"I will."

Xiaojian nodded emphatically.

The car took about three hours to reach Jiang City. The construction outside Jiang City had reached a certain scale. At least the outer walls had gradually been built, and the area enclosed was at least tens of thousands of square meters.

Recently, more and more people have been coming in from outside. There are many more tents here, and also many more planting bases and the like.

Jiang City accepts all outsiders as long as they pass the inspection without any problems.

As soon as Yuan Muye returned to the city, he saw Li Pangpang busy, directing things here and there. Many people came to report problems to Li Pangpang.

Li Pangpang has already become the core figure here.

At this time, someone said a few words in Li Pangpang's ear. When Li Pangpang heard this, his eyes widened and he said with an excited look, "Lao Yuan is back? Where is he? Take me to see him quickly."

"Okay, Captain Li."

Li Pangpang was extremely excited to hear that Lao Yuan was back. Li Pangpang had also received news about the situation in Yanjiang County these days.

He heard that the situation there was very bad, with countless evil ghosts.

He was always worried that something would happen to Lao Yuan and Wang Yajie.

He originally wanted to contact Yuan Muye, but found that the phone couldn't get through at all, which made Li Pangpang even more worried.

But now that he heard the news of Yuan Muye's return, Li Pangpang was naturally very happy.

When he ran out, he saw Yuan Muye parking the car.

He didn't hesitate at all and shouted at the top of his lungs, "Lao Yuan, you're finally back."

Li Pangpang stepped forward and hugged Yuan Muye, looking very excited.

Yuan Muye also said with emotion, "Brother Pang, you've lost weight since I last saw you."

"How could I not lose weight? I'm being used as ten people here. The task here is very arduous. If Yanjiang County is breached, Jiang City will be the first to bear the brunt. The outskirts are Jiang City's newly built line of defense. If we don't lay a good foundation, Jiang City will be breached by evil ghosts, and we won't have a good time."

Li Pangpang said these words.

Yuan Muye couldn't help but feel a little moved in his heart. He really didn't expect Li Pangpang to have changed so much now, knowing how to consider these issues.

"Yeah, Brother Pang, you're right."

Yuan Muye said.

"Brother Pang."

At this time, Wang Yajie also called out to Li Pangpang.

Li Pangpang said to Wang Yajie with a smile, "Yajie, you've worked hard with Lao Yuan outside this time."

"Brother Pang, what are you talking about? This is what we should do."

"Hello, Brother Pang."

Just as Li Pangpang wanted to laugh "hahaha", a voice suddenly rang out in his ear again.

At this time, Li Pangpang noticed Xiaojian. He looked at Xiaojian with puzzlement and then said, "Where did this little brat come from?"

"Brother Pang, I'm also a member of your Paranormal General Administration from now on. My name is Xiaojian."

Xiaojian wasn't shy at all and quickly greeted Li Pangpang.

Li Pangpang looked at him and said, "Good, you little brat have ambition. Follow us and work hard in the future, understand?"

"Understood, Brother Pang. I'll definitely be stronger than you in the future."

As soon as these words were spoken, everyone couldn't help but laugh.

At this time, Yuan Muye said to Wang Yajie, "Yajie, take Xiaojian to settle down first."

When Wang Yajie heard this, he naturally understood what Yuan Muye meant, so he didn't hesitate and left with Xiaojian first.

At this moment, only Yuan Muye and Li Pangpang were left here.

Li Pangpang opened his mouth and asked Yuan Muye, "Lao Yuan, what's the actual situation in Yanjiang County now?"

After a pause, Yuan Muye said, "It's hard to say. Anyway, the situation isn't as clear as we thought. It's possible that Yanjiang County will still fall."

When Li Pangpang heard this, his expression immediately changed.
