Chapter 39

~8 min read 1,454 words

The purple-red firelight made Ye Lin's face appear flickering.

Looking at the raging sea of fire before him, Ye Lin's mood was complex.

He opened a pack of cigarettes he had picked up, lit one with the karmic fire and put it in his mouth, and threw the whole pack of cigarettes into the sea of fire.

The scent of nicotine eroded his mouth and chest lungs, making Ye Lin's mood slowly become calm.

Encountering things and wanting to smoke a cigarette first seems to be a memory engraved in every man's genes.

A high school student who had just finished changing classes and was only Level 16 had single-handedly killed Wang Kensen, the King of the Underground of Qingcheng, and burned the entire black market with one fire. This was probably something no one would believe even if he said it himself.

Even the official side couldn't possibly suspect him. This was like the leader of the Great Beautiful Country being assassinated; no one would come to investigate you in front of the screen.

After this fire burned out, everything would be pushed onto that non-existent Ling Ye.

Ye Lin lowered his eyes, looking at Father Ji, who was still unconscious, through the white mist of the cigarette.

The only problem now was Father Ji.

He was the only person who had seen him kill Wang Kensen with his own eyes tonight. If he killed Father Ji first, then sent Ji Lingyu to the west, and he himself fell down dying next to Ji Lingyu.

In this way, he would definitely have completely cleared his relationship with this matter.

If someone came to investigate, they would only think that Wang Kensen had attacked the Ji Group and wiped out Father Ji's whole family, and then Wang Kensen had been wiped out by the mysterious person Ling Ye.

He was just a poor victim.

Thinking of this, Ye Lin slowly raised the Starfall Heavenly Scar, a flash of chill in his eyes fleeting.

Just at this moment, Father Ji slowly opened his eyes. As soon as he opened his eyes, he saw the faint starlight flowing on the Starfall Heavenly Scar.

"Ye... Ye Lin, what are you doing?"

Ye Lin didn't answer him, but directly raised his hand and dropped the blade!

Accompanied by several flashes of cold light, a red apple was perfectly peeled of its skin.

"Uncle Ji, do you want an apple?" Ye Lin blinked his eyes with an innocent look.

Father Ji finally let out a long sigh of relief and said with lingering fear: "Ye Lin, you scared me to death. What kind of apple are you eating at a time like this!"

Father Ji turned his head, looked at the raging sea of fire before him, and asked in terror: "What is going on?"

"Just now those skeletons wanted to kill us, fortunately Brother Ling Ye, oh no!" Ye Lin hurriedly covered his mouth, looking like he had said the wrong thing, and changed his words. "That mysterious person saved us and burned the entire black market with one fire."

"Oh?" A flash of brilliance crossed Father Ji's eyes, secretly thinking in his heart that Ye Lin was still a child, and even his inner thoughts could be accidentally spoken out. If it was spoken out, could it still be called inner thoughts? He would have to teach Ye Lin well when he had time.

Ling Ye?

Where did this mysterious powerhouse come from? Why had he never heard of him?

"It's okay! As long as we are safe, let's go quickly! The people from the Investigation Bureau should be here soon, I must go back and prepare early!" Father Ji's expression was solemn.

Ye Lin nodded. The Investigation Bureau was an official organization specifically for handling class-changers. Wang Kensen's death would definitely cause them to investigate with all their might.

He had indeed thought about killing Father Ji just now, but this thought was finally suppressed by him.

If he really killed Father Ji and Ji Lingyu, who had shown him kindness, just to live without worries, it would mean he had completely abandoned his humanity as a human being.

Humans are a combination of humanity and animality, usually manifested as shrewd and selfish, but sometimes they can't help but contribute selflessly.

He wants to live, which is the instinct of animality; he saves Father Ji because Father Ji has shown him kindness, which is humanity.

If he really cast aside humanity, then even if he lived forever, he would just be a long-lived humanoid beast.

Seeing Father Ji and Ye Lin return safely, Ji Lingyu cried out and hugged Father Ji tightly.

"Dad! Dad, you're finally back. I almost thought I would never see you again!"

The most beautiful thing in life is nothing more than losing and regaining.

"Silly child, what are you crying for? Isn't Dad still here? Don't worry, as long as Dad is still alive, this sky won't collapse."

Father Ji rubbed Ji Lingyu's head dotingly, his eyes also unable to help but turn red.

Mother Ji left early, and Ji Lingyu was raised by him single-handedly. It could be said that after Mother Ji left, Ji Lingyu was Father Ji's everything.

"Okay, crying and sobbing, not like a man at all! Move aside, Dad still has many things to deal with!"

A flash of sharpness crossed Father Ji's eyes. At this moment, he became the President Ji who was powerful in the business world again.

Wang Kensen's matter should immediately cause a shock throughout Qingcheng. At that time, the people from the Investigation Bureau would definitely come out in full force to investigate this matter.

His top priority now was to ensure that Ye Lin and Ji Lingyu could successfully participate in the college entrance examination trial.

As long as the two of them entered the college entrance examination room, even the Investigation Bureau would not be able to move them in the slightest.

Tonight, it was destined to be a sleepless night.

For Father Ji, it was, and for other people in Qingcheng, it was even more so.

Qingcheng Investigation Bureau.

Investigation Officer Huang sat in front of his desk. He had just finished organizing the case files of the Xu Zhihu farm incident.

Xu Zhihu, a subordinate of Wang Kensen, the King of the Underground of Qingcheng. Wang Kensen's side had already greeted them, telling their Investigation Bureau not to continue investigating this matter.

Therefore, Investigation Officer Huang had also directly closed this matter as an unsolved case. After organizing the files and looking up, he realized that it was already past three o'clock in the morning without knowing it.

He raised his two fingers and rubbed his eyebrows.

"King of the Underground of Qingcheng, Qingcheng has such a tumor, it really makes people bald."

As soon as the words fell, someone suddenly broke in from outside the door with a bang. The sound of pushing the door in the middle of the night was like a thunderclap, startling Investigation Officer Huang Litian.

Raising his eyes, he saw clearly that the person pushing the door was his little apprentice Xu Xiu, whom the bureau had arranged for him to bring. Xu Xiu's face was full of panic at this moment.

"What's the matter? Why are you so clumsy? Didn't I teach you? When encountering things, you must be calm and keep your emotions stable. Panic and excitement can't solve any problems!" Huang Litian lectured.

"Yes, yes, yes! Master, you are right, but, there really is a huge matter!" Xu Xiu's throat couldn't help but roll up and down, his forehead full of cold sweat.

"Oh?" Huang Litian smiled faintly, picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water with a look of being unperturbed by favor or humiliation. "Tell me, what is the huge matter?"

Young people just can't hold their breath; even a small matter can make them excited.

"Master, you must not be afraid when I say it!" Xu Xiu said in terror.

"Don't worry, your master has been an investigation officer for so many years, what haven't I seen? Giant view, human centipede, what can scare me?" Huang Litian was very calm, continuing to drink water.

"Wang Kensen is dead, the entire underground black market was burned to ashes by someone, the method and means are exactly the same as that farm before." Seeing Huang Litian's calm appearance, Xu Xiu also calmed down and said calmly.

Unexpectedly, as soon as his words fell, Huang Litian spat out a mouthful of water with a puff, directly spraying him all over his head and body.

"What?! You said who is dead? Wang Kensen? WDNMD!"
