Cooperate in a human experint to study so new drug?
A joke! Only my foster mother would believe such words.
What sort of things does the Cao Gang get up to, and they’re qualified to conduct dical experints, researching new drugs?
This is clearly a front for human organ trafficking—it should be that obvious.
But Xu Shu, as of last night, had just wrapped up a conversation with so friends from the Cao Gang and the Heroic Society, involving so rather private topics, and learned that this society was not quite normal.
They were involved with the Heroic Society, and linked to cult activities, a true exterior force of the Cult.
Thus, swapping out kidneys and livers for cash was just a smokescreen, their true intention was to take Mrs. Zhou, this living person, and involve her in the Cult’s secret operations.
Xu Shu speculated, it might be related to sacrifice.
However, Xu Shu was also sowhat puzzled.
"Strange, I clearly reported them just yesterday, so how can this gang still be causing mischief? Could it be that the Archbishop has not seen the ssage yet?"
Xu Shu excused himself to go to the restroom, and upon closing the door, slightly bumped his hip, activating the Promotion Drive.

Speaking of which, I should get so upgrade materials when I get back...
Xu Shu muttered to himself, then quickly opened the private ssaging interface to find that the Archbishop had replied, a response from noon today.
He only sent one line.
"Understood, thank you for the information provided."—Yu Mingluan, third-tier Red Archbishop.
Heh, he even thanked courteously.
The Archbishop had known since noon, then the authorities must have acted by now.
But the Cao Gang was still active... That’s normal, they just received the news at noon, actions aren’t that quick.
I myself am not so professional "FBI" from the Judgent Departnt, I can’t expect that they’d imdiately rush to take down the Cao Gang just because I reported them.
Judging by Yu Mingluan’s usual modus operandi, Xu Shu considered him reliable; he would definitely pass on the information to the Judgent Departnt, just like when Xu had told him about the secret ssage provided by Suji Herrera.
A large-scale "bandit extermination" operation had recently started in the Wasteland, clearly, Yu Mingluan was making moves.
However, the Cao Gang was ultimately a lawful entity within the safety zone, so the official proceedings must also be legit.
The Judgent Departnt would file a case, send people on inquiries, the Prosecutor would investigate, gather evidence, and sooner or later secure definitive proof, which would allow for formal charges.
This was also normal; eradicating Cult mbers was crucial, but preventing wrongful cases due to rushed judgnts was also important, the collection of evidence was indispensable.
So the Cao Gang was still freely hopping around, committing their cris.
Good, let them jump around!
Xu Shu smiled; the more they jumped, the more it proved they were up to no good!
This "loan shark" incident at his mother’s house was the clue; following the trail to find the Cao Gang’s "experintal base" would provide the evidence, the cri scene, solid evidence indeed!
Their good days were numbered.
At that mont, knocking sounds ca from outside, followed by a lodious woman’s voice gently calling, "Is Sister Li there? We’re from the Cao Gang, please open the door if you hear us."
Thump, thump, thump! Mrs. Zhou hurried to the outside of the restroom, knocked on the door, and whispered nervously, "Ashu, Ashu! It’s that woman, they’ve co!"
Well, well, they really dared to co, they are truly lawless!
Xu Shu’s eyes instantly sharpened: "I know, mom, don’t open the door. Pretend you’re not ho, go back to your room, and lock the door. Until I call for you, don’t open it."
"Okay, okay!"
Mrs. Zhou, sowhat stamring with fear, though not the brightest, had one redeeming trait; she viewed her son as her pillar of strength, she listened to Xu Shu in all things, whatever her son said, she would do without making her own decisions.
She tiptoed back to her room, closed the door, covered her head with a blanket, and assud the posture of a quail.
Bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, bang!
"Sister Li, are you there? We had agreed on a ti!"
"Sister Li?!"
The calls from outside continued, and the knocking beca increasingly urgent, starting off polite and then becoming more and more aggressive.
Xu Shu stepped out of the restroom, moving lightly and silently.
He ignored the knocking and shouts, instead calmly sitting on the sofa and, after a brief mont of thought, sent another ssage to Yu Mingluan.
"Lord Bishop! I’ve returned to the safe zone and encountered trouble! My family mber is suspected to have fallen into the Cao Gang’s trap, asked to participate in a human experint, and I suspect it’s the Cult’s stronghold in the city, connected to the Cao Gang and Heroic Society!"
"They’ve sent soone, waiting outside for , what should I do? Should I go with them?"
"By the way, my friend said that the Cao Gang has a strong backing, able to mobilize Third Rank experts for their affairs, please be extra careful when you and the Judgent Departnt handle this."
"Waiting eagerly for your answer, online now, it’s urgent—a concerned sword catcher from the Astronomy Association, Xu Shu."
—Gu Pan, Second Order Iron Armor.
Click to send, ssage sent successfully.
After all was done, Xu Shu calmly brewed a cup of tea, waiting for Yu Mingluan’s reply.
The average person might head out alone, trying to assist the Judgent Departnt and find the location of the enemy’s stronghold.
But not Xu Shu.
Venture alone into that so-called "experintal base," right into the Cult’s headquarters?
To walk into death?
Unless they happened to have drawn an Array, he would never go!
