Yan Shang was, after all, the business tycoon who single-handedly founded the Stars Chamber of Comrce. His sense of sll for crises was extrely keen. Coupled with his investnts in the Enforcent System over so many years, he had co into contact with so secrets that outsiders could not understand... He knew very well in his heart that if he didn't cut off his tail at this ti, everything would turn into an illusion.
As the train whistled past under the gray sky vault, outside the frost-covered train window, a city enveloped in the aurora was gradually approaching.
"We're almost there." The black-haired Female Operative who had been sitting in the corner suddenly spoke.
The train roared toward the city wall. On the front of the train covered in mysterious text, a beam of green light suddenly lit up.
A mont after this light lit up, it was as if so kind of signal had been transmitted into Aurora City. A city gate specially paved with tracks slowly opened;
The train decelerated and passed through the portal, driving straight into a station set up in the military managent area of Aurora City...
Hiss—
As the train ca to a steady stop, the steam whistle let out a buzz, and a few figures successively walked onto the platform.
"Sitting in the train for so long, my bones are going to fall apart." The Squinting Man stretched his waist and said.
"Let's return directly to the chamber of comrce. After going back, there will be plenty of ti to rest well." Yan Shang glanced at the watch on his wrist, turned his head, and said to the man and the woman, "You two have worked hard this ti."
"Taking people's money and doing things for them, it's only natural." The black-haired Female Operative answered indifferently.
The three of them walked out of the station like this and arrived on a street. The pedestrians coming and going were walking hurriedly. At the corner of the street, several figures were gathering together, holding a newspaper and pointing at it, all with very shocked expressions... A subtle atmosphere was enveloping the sky above the entire city.
Seeing that the car that was supposed to pick them up hadn't appeared, Yan Shang's brows furrowed slightly. He checked the ti again and whispered in a deep voice:
"Why aren't they here yet... What are those people from the chamber of comrce doing?"
"Could it be they rembered the ti wrong?" The Squinting Man spoke with confusion.
Just as the two were talking, a paperboy carrying a whole backpack full of newspapers was quickly running across the street. His tender voice was loud and clear:
"Blockbuster news, blockbuster news!!"
"Overnight, the Stars Chamber of Comrce headquarters has been razed to the ground! Corpses strew the fields!"
"Is it the twisting of Human Nature, the loss of Morality, or a punishnt descending from heaven?"
"Frontline intelligence! Blockbuster revelations! On-site photos! All in the Aurora Daily! The last ten copies~ does anyone else want them..."
The mont he heard this voice, Yan Shang was stunned in place.
Not only him, but the two outlanders beside him were equally stunned. They looked in astonishnt in the direction of the paperboy, wondering if they had just heard wrong.
"Stars... Chamber of Comrce?" Yan Shang spoke uncertainly. "Was that what he just said...?"
"...It seems so."
A large number of figures walked over from all directions and surrounded that paperboy, one after another taking out money to buy newspapers. Seeing this, the Squinting Man lunged forward in one stride.
"Give a newspaper!" Without waiting for the paperboy to answer, he directly snatched the last newspaper from the other party's hands. He then stuffed a Silver Coin into the other's hand, turned around, and walked toward Yan Shang.
"President, the newspaper is here..."
Without another word, Yan Shang directly grabbed the newspaper in his hand. Seeing that line of bolded and thickened massive title, he only felt a startling thunderclap explode in his mind!
—"Overnight, the Stars Chamber of Comrce Suffers a Tragic Annihilation?"
"Late last night, Aurora City's largest business organization, the Stars Chamber of Comrce, was bizarrely annihilated. A total of one hundred and forty-two corpses were discovered at the scene, with no one surviving..."
"According to a passerby surnad Chu who wished to remain anonymous, he was just passing by the entrance of the chamber of comrce at the ti. He accidentally found that there were no lights on inside the chamber of comrce today, and the main gate had been cleaved in half by soone unknown, collapsing inward. Thus, feeling curious, he walked inside..."
"When our reporter entered, the scene was unbearably bloody. All buildings and trees had entirely shifted bizarrely. Traces of biting and tearing appeared on multiple corpses, not looking like the work of humans..."
"During the on-site investigation process, our reporter inadvertently discovered a hidden underground chamber beneath the chamber of comrce. It stored a large number of organs and docunts of unknown origin, suspected of secretly conducting organ trafficking. In-depth investigations are ongoing..."
"..."
This single piece of news occupied the largest section of the entire newspaper. The photos and text couldn't even be fully presented on one page and continued onto the second page... By the ti he read the last word, Yan Shang's hands were trembling uncontrollably.
"...President." The Squinting Man spoke cautiously. "What should we do next?"
Yan Shang's eyes were filled with bloodshot veins. He fiercely crumpled this newspaper into a ball and gripped it in his hand, speaking word by word:
"Return to the chamber of comrce!"
...
Newspaper office.
"You an to say, during the process of you going to get the cara last night, you accidentally found soone searching my house, so you tracked him all the way to the Stars Chamber of Comrce?" Wen Shilin put down the newspaper in his hand, looking thoughtful.
"That's right." Chen Ling nodded. "I was thinking, although we caught those two surgical Doctors, we still don't have decisive evidence... Since this person went to search your house, it must be related to the organ trafficking, so I wanted to take a risk and see if it was possible to find more evidence."
"So, you actually entered the Stars Chamber of Comrce yourself? But why does the newspaper say it was discovered by a passerby?"
"Because I'm investigating the organ trafficking matter, and I can't be exposed yet. I discussed it with Editor-in-Chief Feng, and she agreed for to slightly cover up this aspect. This way, the Law Enforcers won't pursue our responsibility for concealing and not reporting either..."
Wen Shilin nodded. He was also very familiar with this thod. Before, when he investigated so things he shouldn't have investigated but still had to publish an article, he had also used this thod.
"And then?"
"That person searched your house once, found nothing to gain, and was ready to leave. I found his car downstairs, so I hid in the trunk in advance and followed him into the Stars Chamber of Comrce... After the car stopped, I heard people talking outside all along, so I didn't dare to go out."
"When it was late at night, I was just getting ready to find an opportunity to go out and look for clues, when I heard a burst of screams coming from outside... And then it was sounds similar to the roars of wild beasts."
"At the ti, I felt the situation wasn't right, so I just kept hiding in the trunk and didn't co out. It was only when the sounds outside had almost disappeared that I opened the trunk a slit..."
Hearing this, Wen Shilin's eyes lit up slightly.
"You saw what the murderer looked like?"
"...A little bit. It was too dark at the ti, I couldn't see clearly... And this matter is truly too bizarre, so I didn't write it into the article..."
"What did the murderer you saw look like?"
A look of reminiscence surfaced in Chen Ling's eyes, and residual fear remained on his face...
"It seed... seed to be two Bears."
"Bears?" Wen Shilin was stunned for a mont.
"Yes, if I rember correctly, one was brown and the other was yellow... They just flashed past in the manor." Chen Ling seed to recall so not-so-good mories, supporting his forehead with one hand.
"I... I don't know how to describe it. At the ti, there were gnawed corpses everywhere on the ground. I... have never seen such a scene."
