The captain of the Ninth Squad said irritably, “How could you not know? If you do know, don’t pretend not to. You got transferred and are now living the good life, while I’m stuck here attending to that big shot.”

“Tsk, tsk,” Tang Wudi sneered, “I heard that recently, a distinguished young member from the Judgement Place took a fall in our Da Peng City? And almost took another fall this morning?”

The captain of the Ninth Squad looked up, his expression dark.

Tang Wudi shook his head, “I’ve already said that Da Peng City’s affairs shouldn’t involve people from the Judgement Place, but you wouldn’t listen. Given the nature of the Judgement Place, it’s a good thing you’re now thousands of miles away from them, or they would have brainwashed you all.”

“Enough of this ominous talk. Just for this matter, I’ve written over 20,000 words of self-criticism, and not a single word repeated,” the captain of the Ninth Squad said with a grim face. “I heard from Director Cai that a Descriptive Writer was sent to the scene?”

“Sent.” Tang Wudi glanced at his wristwatch, “They should be there by now, I guess.”

“So, what do you make of this whole thing…” The captain of the Ninth Squad asked as if casually.

“What’s it to me? This is your Ninth Squad’s job,” Tang Wudi said with a look of disdain.

The captain’s face instantly darkened, “Get lost, get lost, get the hell away from my spot.”

Right then, his phone rang.

He signaled Tang Wudi to keep quiet, then answered the call, “Director Cai, I’m here, you said… Okay, I understand, I’m on it.”

After hanging up, he said to Tang Wudi, “The Descriptive Writer has confirmed the appearance of the killer.”

“Who is it?”

“None of your damn business.” The captain of the Ninth Squad grabbed his hat from the table and stormed off.

Tang Wudi shook his head and chuckled to himself.

His phone vibrated.

He picked it up to look.

[Boss, the killer’s appearance is that of Gu Shaoshang.]

Tang Wudi, head bowed, pondered with a furrow between his brows.

Heaven God.

Mr. Sang silently turned his head to look.

Lin Jun, covered in cold sweat, “Mr. Sang, I really didn’t know about this. You know Old Gu’s temper, plus he was acting alone under your instructions…”

He didn’t finish his sentence before being interrupted by a series of urgent rings from the phone.

Mr. Sang answered, and his secretary’s slightly frantic voice came through, “People from the Night Patrol Department are here again, and this time they’ve brought an inspection warrant…”

Mr. Sang, expressionless, “Let them in then.”

After that, he looked silently at Lin Jun.

Lin Jun got the hint and quickly left.

Not long after.

The captain of the Ninth Squad personally lead the team over and said seriously, “Mr. Sang, sorry for the disturbance. We need to inspect Gu Shaoshang’s belongings. According to the information we have so far, Gu Shaoshang is a prime suspect. But whether it is really him, we need further investigation.”

Mr. Sang maintained a calm demeanor as he let the Night Patrol Department take Gu Shaoshang’s belongings away.

After watching them leave.

The door to the office closed.

Mr. Sang dialed a number, “Has there been a reply from headquarters yet?”

He paused.

Mr. Sang looked surprised, “So Gu Shaoshang left headquarters yesterday morning… Okay, I get it. I can’t reach him on my end. If you can, tell him he’s being hunted… I won’t meddle in affairs of the headquarters.”

He hung up the phone.

Mr. Sang looked annoyed.

Within a month’s time, he had lost several key personnel.

If this continued, wouldn’t he end up as a commander with no troops!!!

Bronze Association.

In a certain room.

“What’s wrong, Brother Fang?” a young man dressed in branded clothing looked up and asked.

“It’s nothing.” Fang Tianjian stood by the window and had just seen Pei Jinye and Tang Huoyang laughing and talking as they left the back mountain, his expression somewhat gloomy.

He had waited for Pei Jinye for a full six hours.

In his mind, whether it was six hours or even just three, he believed Pei Jinye had the ability to find out clearly about the treatment offered by their Fang Family Foundation.

The treatment he offered was definitely not bad!

But now, Pei Jinye seemed to completely disregard the matter.

Upon careful reflection of Pei Jinye’s behavior at noon today, Fang Tianjian suddenly froze.

He seemed too confident at the moment, so he overlooked the signals of Pei Jinye’s rejection, and by the end, he didn’t even give Pei Jinye a chance to speak before leaving.

“He rejected it, huh.”

Fang Tianjian murmured to himself.

His gaze coldly swept over the two figures disappearing at the end of the path.

If he rejected it, then so be it.

Originally, he quite admired Pei Jinye, but to each their own, if Pei Jinye thought the Fang Family’s stage was not big enough, then time would tell!

“Brother Fang, is something bothering you?” the young man beside him inquired.

He too had applied to the Fang Family Foundation, though his treatment was slightly inferior to Pei Jinye’s.

“Not really, I just tried to recruit a junior, but got turned down,” Fang Tianjian spoke as if it were nothing major.

“Who is so arrogant?” The other seemed quite surprised, incredulously questioning, “Who doesn’t know about the potential of the Formula Foundation? There’s a threshold to join already, and Brother Fang, you personally recruited him, yet that person dared to refuse you, it’s better off without such a person.

Maybe in the future, when he realizes how strong the Formula Foundation is, he might regret it to his guts. Such arrogant people have limited prospects for the future; they will definitely amount to nothing. Brother Fang, you shouldn’t take it to heart.”

Fang Tianjian gave a faint smile, “Everyone has their own aspirations. I don’t need to say much more, since you have joined my Fang Family, practice diligently, as I will be relying on you in the future.”

The young man’s face flushed with a hint of pride; he quickly responded modestly, “Brother Fang, you flatter me, I’ll always follow your lead.”

Fang Tianjian smiled as he looked at the young man.

But his thoughts suddenly went back to Pei Jinye.

If it were Pei Jinye, he certainly wouldn’t be able to say such spineless words.

Perhaps the harder something is to obtain, the more valuable it seems.

He sighed inwardly.

Fang Tianjian nevertheless pushed thoughts of Pei Jinye to the back of his mind.

The young man seemed to think of something and said in a low voice, “Right, Brother Fang, I heard that the Night Patrol Department had suspected one of our members but cleared them on the same day.”

“Who?” Fang Tianjian was surprised, he hadn’t known about this incident.

“It seems to be Pei Jinye?” The young man wasn’t very familiar with the name, but he knew the surname was uncommon.

“Hm?” Fang Tianjian looked surprised, “Are you sure it’s Pei Jinye?”

He suddenly remembered that he had sparred with Pei Jinye; the kid’s strength and blood energy were indeed extraordinary.

But if you were to tell him that Pei Jinye could easily kill Wei Xia… he simply didn’t believe it.

“That’s him,” the other replied affirmatively, “Initially, because he had had grievances with Wei Xia and his strength stood out, he was listed as a suspect, but ultimately the prime suspect turned out to be a Guardian from the Heaven God.”

“Do you believe Pei Jinye could be the murderer?” Fang Tianjian scoffed.

“Well, he’s only been at the association for less than two months. Even though Teacher Chang exceptionally accepted him to the Inhouse, let alone killing Wei Xia, I guess he couldn’t even beat Wei Xia alone,” the young man said, his eyes shifting, then added with a laugh, “Wei Xia may have a noble background, but after all, he can’t compare to you, Brother Fang.”

“Alright, I have something to do tonight. Remember to report tomorrow, I’ve made all the arrangements for the procedures, you know the legal name, and the people from my company will know what to do,” Fang Tianjian gave a few instructions before leaving.

The young man suddenly felt a burgeoning sense of anticipation for the future.

As for Pei Jinye… he too was forgotten by the young man.
