Chapter 264: Chapter 264 The Ashen Immortal_1

You turned your head, still wearing a light smile, "Does Captain Xian have any other orders?"

Xian Qianling’s attractive willow brows were already knitted together as she stared at you squarely and said seriously, "Don’t do anything that breaks the law! Don’t make me think less of you!"

Hearing this, you couldn’t help showing surprise because you had thought she would say something more righteous.

Smiling, you moved her hand from your shoulder and then patted her shoulder, "I never do foolish things."

With that, you turned around and led the group towards the other end of the corridor.

After walking a few meters, Xian Qianling’s voice came again, "Be careful!"

You didn’t look back, just raised your hand and waved through the air.

As soon as you entered Wei Shuxian’s hospital room, Zong Wangyue and Tao Wenwen came over, and Zong Wangyue said to you, "Boss, all the paperwork is done."

Nodding, you turned to Tao Wenwen, "Wenwen, do we have enough funds in the club?"

Tao Wenwen nodded slightly, "It’s enough."

Her response eased your mind quite a bit.

"Old Shu, how do you plan to handle this?" Yang Kai stood up, his face half-swollen, and said to you.

You glanced at the still-sleeping Wei Shuxian, then gave instructions to everyone in the room, "Little Han and Nie Ying stay behind to take care of Glasses, and Lele, Wenwen, and Mei Li, you go back to school first. You don’t need to get involved in this."

Hu Meili, always forthright, immediately looked up at you and said, "No way! We’re part of the club too, we can’t just step aside on such a big matter."

"Right," Han Lele and Tao Wenwen nodded in agreement.

Seeing the three girls’ reactions, you couldn’t help but smile, "It’s not about stepping aside, it’s that you can’t get involved in this matter. I understand your sentiments and will definitely call on you when we need your help."

Hu Meili was about to speak when suddenly Zhang Zifeng sneakily peeked his head in through the door.

At the sight of Zhang Zifeng, Hu Meili’s eyes flashed with seduction, and she quickly stepped forward, grabbed his ear, and scolded, "What are you sneaking around here eavesdropping for?"

"Ouch, ouch, ouch!" Before Hu Meili, Zhang Zifeng had not the slightest room to talk back and hurriedly begged for mercy, "Gently, gently, I’m not here to eavesdrop, but to share the information I know with you all."

You and Xiao Feng exchanged glances, and the latter asked Zhang Zifeng, "Brother Zhang, do you know where those people come from?"

"Mhm," Zhang Zifeng nodded.

"This is a hospital room; let’s find a quieter place outside." As you spoke, you added, "Boys follow me, girls stay here."

Exiting the ward, you several boys directly went down to the flower beds in front of the inpatient department and sat down together on the grass.

"Crazy, you tell me the situation first," you said.

Xiao Feng nodded.

"Actually, we got beaten up for no good reason this time."

Frowning, you immediately asked, "Why do you say that?"

"Yesterday at noon, Zongzi received a business request. The client was a real estate developer. He said that his property had been experiencing one accident after another during the development process. At first, because they were minor accidents, the developer didn’t pay much attention. But two days ago, three workers fell from the building and broke their legs, resulting in a substantial amount of medical expenses for him. To avoid similar incidents from happening again, he wanted us to investigate the construction site and see if there was anything filthy at work."

You nodded and said, "Then what?"

"Last night, Little Kai, Nie Ying, Black Bull, and I deliberately went there after dark, and I found that there was indeed something wrong with the construction site. Nie Ying said there was something hidden below, but it probably wasn’t an evil spirit, because if it were, it would be more than just broken legs."

Xiao Feng paused for a moment before continuing, "Since it was nighttime, we didn’t stay long. After surveying and identifying the location, we left. This morning, we gathered our club members, ready to wrap this up before you came back, as a way to show you our strength."

"Mmm," you nodded seriously.

"I’ll take it from here," Yang Kai said, his face involuntarily showing anger and hatred, "After we were prepared, we went to the construction site, started arranging the Talisman Formation, and planned to force it out during daylight to have a face-to-face conversation. After all, we understood that since it was reluctant to take human lives, it wasn’t completely vicious."

"We have many ways of doing things at the Detective Agency. As the middleman, our role is to de-escalate serious issues and resolve minor ones."

At that point, Yang Kai slapped his thigh vehemently and said angrily, "After more than two hours of preparation, we used the Talisman Formation to corner it, and it turned out to be a Grey Immortal."

"Grey Immortal?" you immediately asked, "As in the rat from the northeastern Horse Fairy tradition?"

"Right," Yang Kai nodded, "At first, I didn’t know it was a Horse Fairy. When I heard it could speak, I thought it was a rat demon. Nie Ying was the one who said it was a Grey Immortal from the northeast. Even so, a few of us still fought with it. The creature wasn’t very strong, and eventually, we trapped it in the Talisman Formation."

Hearing this, you knew the crucial point was coming and immediately asked, "What happened next?"

"After we trapped it, it tried many ways to escape; exhausted, it finally gave up and was about to tell us the truth."

"What truth?"

"Before it could speak, two vans drove into the construction site, and over a dozen thugs got out." As he spoke, Yang Kai clenched his fists tightly, his face expressing intense frustration, "Those bastards! They started beating us without saying a word!"

You fell silent for a moment before asking, "What about the Grey Immortal you were talking about?"

"The situation was too chaotic. We guys were trying to protect the girls and escape, so we lost our footing. As soon as the Formation was removed, the Grey Immortal dove underground and disappeared."

You turned to Zhang Zifeng and asked, "Officer Zhang, is the information you were going to share about those thugs?"

Zhang Zifeng nodded, about to speak when you cut him off, "No need."

"Huh? Why?" Zhang Zifeng asked anxiously, "I really want to help you guys."

"I know, but you are part of the system, and this is our club’s affair; I don’t want to involve you in it."

Zhang Zifeng immediately patted his chest and insisted, "What are you talking about? We’ve known each other for a while now, and we’re friends, right? I can’t just stand by when my friends are in trouble."

"I understand, but whether you say it or not doesn’t matter. I’ll find out who they are soon enough, and they’re just pawns anyway. Otherwise, with the Crazy Woman’s nature, she wouldn’t be this troubled," you said, slowly standing up and thanking Zhang Zifeng, "Still, I appreciate your help."

After saying this, you addressed Xiao Feng and the others, "Let’s go, we’re heading back to the construction site."
