Wei Shuxian pushed up his glasses and said, "That’s because last night soone was stood up by Reporter Pan Da and ended up waiting open-top at the cinema entrance for over two hours. Others thought he was showing off, but he was just breathing air."
"Ohhh,"
I turned my head toward Xiao Feng, deliberately elongating the sound.
"Ahem, let’s get down to business first."
Xu Hai quickly changed the topic: "Early this morning, before Old Shu even ca through the door, Police Officer Xie had already called us to hurry."
Hearing that it was Xian Qianling’s call, I imdiately asked, "What did she ntion on the phone?"
"It seems that a corner of the subway line suddenly collapsed, revealing a very deep hole underneath. Two people were dispatched to go down, but they’ve since disappeared without a trace. Concerned for Police Officer Xie’s safety, Zhang Zifeng absolutely refused to let her go down."
"This Crazy Woman, can’t she use her brain a little when she does things?"
I rubbed my temples, stood up, took out my cell phone from my pocket, and dialed Xian Qianling’s number.
But the line was busy.
"What’s the matter? Can’t get through?" I imdiately frowned.
"No way, I just spoke with her."
Xu Hai dialed a return call, and it was busy too.
A powerful anxiety hit all of a sudden. I grabbed Xu Hai and rushed out the door: "Let’s go, take to the scene!"
This ti, only Xiao Feng, Wei Shuxian, and Zong Wangyue had co to Eastern Sea from the Supernatural Detective Agency. As the agency’s fa grew and various orders landed in their hands, the mbers of the agency were all fighting on the front lines and had no ti to co to Eastern Sea.
Right after stepping out the door, Xiao Feng’s phone rang, and he answered three consecutive calls, all from Tao Wenwen.
I turned to Xiao Feng and said, "Madman, you take Glasses and Zongzi back to Yuhang. I’ll handle things here in Eastern Sea."
Xiao Feng thought about it and nodded: "Alright, but be careful with everything. After all, this world is full of unexpected things. Better safe than sorry."
I nodded, said my farewells at the door.
Just as I was about to get into the car, I saw Zhao’er coming out the door.
Seeing Zhao’er coming over, Xu Hai couldn’t help but ask, "Hey, Old Shu, you’re not going to bring Goddess with you, are you?"
I didn’t respond to Xu Hai, instead, I opened the car door, walked towards her, and took a small parcel from her hands.
"Be careful." Zhao’er’s smile was blooming with flowers, her words thick with care.
"Yeah, I know."
Saying that, I took Zhao’er into my arms and, right in front of Xu Hai, I bent down and kissed her soft and plump lips.
Looking at the bashful Zhao’er in my arms, I beca even more resolute inside.
Everything that had happened with the Map of Kingdom was vivid in my mind, and I told myself a thousand, ten thousand tis that I must beco stronger, stronger!
After getting in the car, Xu Hai looked at with envy: "Wow, I really envy you, mate. All the beauties around you are top-notch."
I looked at Xu Hai and said with a smile: "Why don’t you find a top-notch beauty too?"
Xu Hai shook his head like a rattle-drum: "What one can do is what one should do, that’s what the elders taught since I was a kid. And as for beauties, I’m fed up with them. Won, you see, you don’t need too many, just one who understands you is enough."
I smiled, then placed the package Zhao’er gave on my thigh.
"What’s this?"
I didn’t answer but opened the package in front of Xu Hai, revealing a stack of talismans!
There were talismans already drawn with cinnabar and also blank ones, coming in four colors: yellow, orange, brown, red.
Then, under Xu Hai’s watch, I put my hands over the talismans; without chanting any spells or making any extra gestures, the whole pack of talismans just vanished into thin air!
"My Darling, Old Shu, you played that hand beautifully."
"Want to learn?" I looked towards Xu Hai.
But this guy very tily pursed his lips: "Learn? I think I’ll pass, brother. I just want to live a calm life as a rich second-generation. Catching ghosts and the like, I’ll leave it to you guys."
Xu Hai’s words had an implied aning, and of course, I caught on, imdiately asking, "So, you’ve inford them?"
"Yep, all but Zhang Xidong ca."
I thought for a mont, then nodded: "Yeah, that works, those four guys are actually quite capable, especially Zai Juejue and Su Lang."
Half an hour later, Xu Hai parked the car at a subway entrance, which had already been cordoned off by the police.
At first glance, I saw two familiar faces, Old Hong-Chro and Jiang Han.
"Old Hong, you’re here too? What’s the situation inside?"
Old Hong-Chro nodded and said to : "I just got here myself. I was urgently called back because of the accident down there."
"An accident down below?" I frowned, suddenly getting a bad feeling, and imdiately asked Jiang Han, "Where’s Captain Xian?"
Jiang Han, assistant to Zhang Zifeng and a trusted aide of Xian Qianling, naturally knew about my relationship with Xian Qianling. He lowered his head and spoke softly, "We lost contact with Captain Xian almost half an hour ago."
This Crazy Woman!
For Xian Qianling, whether to speak up or to criticize her was difficult.
From a professional standpoint, she did it for the people, for the nation. As the head of the Criminal Police Team, soone who not only personally attended to the front lines but also often acted as the vanguard without regard to personal safety.
But that’s precisely why she was Xian Qianling.
Sigh.
With a light sigh in my heart, I continued to ask Jiang Han, "Where’s Zhang Zifeng?"
"Captain Zhang went down too."
Hearing that Zhang Zifeng also went down, I felt sowhat relieved and imdiately said to Jiang Han, "Take us to the scene first."
Jiang Han nodded and was about to speak when a rcedes sports car roared over, and the driver Li Yichen waved to from not too far away: "Hey, Old Shepherd, we et again!"
Xu Hai waved to the four of them: "Hurry up, guys, we’re going on an adventure!"
Entering the subway entrance, our group of eight walked briskly, then Jiang Han led us directly onto the subway’s tracks.
With the entire subway line stopped, the empty space gave off an uncomfortable vibe, as if sothing terrifying could erge from the dark expanse ahead at any mont.
"Wow, this is absolutely the first ti in my life I’ve walked on train tracks, let’s take a photo!" Li Yichen took a selfie with his phone, acting recklessly.
I turned my head and glanced at Li Yichen, "Little virgin, this place is heavy with yin energy, don’t act recklessly. If you accidentally capture sothing in your photo, don’t co looking for ."
Li Yichen might be good at fighting, but that didn’t an he could handle "Apiao."
