Chapter 42

Ye Lin was detained by Huang Litian at the Investigation Bureau and locked into a special prison.

The prison of the Investigation Bureau was jointly built by two major professions, material science masters and architectural masters. Wanting to break in by force was just a pipe dream.

If there were no accidents, Ye Lin would spend the twenty-seven hours before the college entrance examination here.

Even if Father Ji obstructed it in every way, and even used the relationship of the Ji Group, it was of no use.

After all, too many people died this time, and there was also Wang Kensen, the King of the Underground of Qingcheng.

Qingcheng had unknowingly appeared a terrifying force that could directly wipe out Wang Kensen, but the people in the Investigation Bureau were completely unaware. When Huang Litian reported this news, it directly shocked everyone in the Qingcheng Investigation Bureau.

Beside the couch, how can others be allowed to snore? Qingcheng was their territory, but a force like this appeared under their noses without them knowing. This was simply unheard of.

To put it bluntly, if this mysterious force wasn't investigated clearly, they wouldn't even know if their Investigation Bureau was wiped out by someone like Wang Kensen one day.

This matter immediately attracted the high attention of the Qingcheng Investigation Bureau. The higher-ups even directly gave Huang Litian the highest level of investigation authority, letting him be fully responsible, and also sent two powerful class-changers to protect Huang Litian personally.

Watching Huang Litian take people away, Ye Lin let out a sigh of relief instead, leaning back slowly on the chair, a smile slowly picking up at the corner of his mouth.

Although Wang Kensen was dead, Wang Kensen's forces were far more than just that bit in the underground black market. The forces of this King of the Underground were spread throughout Qingcheng.

Those people were not like Huang Litian, who still paid attention to messy things like evidence; they were definitely better to kill the wrong ones than to let one go.

What he had to do now was to find a safe place to wait for the college entrance examination trial to start. And in Qingcheng, what place was safer than the Investigation Bureau?

In this world, class-changers, especially class-changers with excellent talent, have enough privileges. As long as they enter the college entrance examination trial and attract the attention of the provincial capital's universities, even if Huang Litian finds ironclad evidence that he killed Wang Kensen, it will have no effect.

Ye Lin had enough confidence in his own strength and talent.

He had done Wang Kensen's matter very cleanly, so he didn't worry about Huang Litian investigating further. In just twenty-seven hours, Huang Litian couldn't possibly find any ironclad evidence.

Ye Lin lay down on the small iron bed with peace of mind and began to sleep, conserving his energy to deal with the college entrance examination trial.

On the other side, just as the sky was dawning, Huang Litian brought people to the Student Zhuge family in Qingcheng!

The small building of the Student Zhuge family was transcendent, like an ancient courtyard independent of the dusty world.

The low courtyard wall shone with golden light under the morning sun, and every brick and stone seemed to be telling the secrets of Qingcheng over the years.

"Mr. Student Zhuge! Level 7 Investigation Officer of the Qingcheng Investigation Bureau, Huang Litian requests to see you!"

Huang Litian knocked on the door respectfully. Even if he was from the Investigation Bureau, he didn't dare to act presumptuously here, because the owner of this courtyard was named Student Zhuge Qianxing!

"So it's Investigation Officer Huang, please come in."

The courtyard gate opened automatically without wind with a creak.

Inside the Student Zhuge family's courtyard, ancient trees towered, green bamboo swayed, and the small path paved with bluestone wound and twisted. The air was filled with a faint tea fragrance, and every wisp of fragrance made people feel relaxed and happy. Here, time seemed to freeze, making people forget the disturbances of the world.

And Student Zhuge Qianxing was sitting in the courtyard making tea, as if he had long known that Huang Litian would come.

"Investigation Officer Huang, please sit."

Student Zhuge Qianxing picked up a cup of tea and handed it to Huang Litian.

Huang Litian took the tea and took a light sip. The tea fragrance entered his throat, as if it could wash his soul. He put down the teacup and said with a solemn expression: "Mr. Student Zhuge, I came here this time to discuss an important matter."

Student Zhuge Qianxing smiled slightly: "Looking for me is fake, looking for my daughter is real, right? Are you here for Wang Kensen's matter?"

"Hehe, really nothing can be hidden from Mr. Student Zhuge."

Huang Litian gave a dry laugh. Last time at the farm, he had sensed that Student Zhuge Ni must know something, but Student Zhuge Ni refused to say, so he turned a blind eye.

After all, that Xu Zhihu wasn't a good person to begin with, so dying was just dying.

But this time it was different; the matter was too big, and Huang Litian couldn't let go of this clue. He detailed Wang Kensen's death and the appearance of a mysterious force in Qingcheng to Student Zhuge Qianxing.

After listening, Student Zhuge Qianxing put down the teacup lightly and said faintly: "I have already heard about this matter. I can let my daughter cooperate with you, but I also have to trouble Investigation Officer Huang with one thing, is that okay?"

Huang Litian said hurriedly: "Mr. Student Zhuge, you are too polite. Just say whatever you have; I will definitely help if I can."

Student Zhuge Qianxing nodded slightly and said softly: "Qingcheng will have a great change. I hope you can protect my daughter well, have your Investigation Bureau people escort her into the college entrance examination trial, and announce to the outside world that my daughter is already a Level 9 Investigation Officer of your Investigation Bureau, and will formally enter the Investigation Bureau to work after graduation."

Huang Litian was stunned, then realized. Student Zhuge Qianxing wanted to use the power of the Investigation Bureau to protect Student Zhuge Ni.

After all, no matter how powerful a class-changer is, unless they are completely crazy, it is impossible for them to kill someone from the Investigation Bureau; this would be wanted by the entire Great Xia Ancient Kingdom.

He thought for a while and nodded solemnly: "Mr. Student Zhuge, don't worry, with me here, no one can move a hair of Miss Student Zhuge."

Although he was calm on the surface, Huang Litian's heart was surging with huge waves.

Student Zhuge Qianxing actually asked him to protect Student Zhuge Ni into the college entrance examination trial. The meaning of this is simply terrifying to think about.

If Student Zhuge Qianxing were there, no one would dare to touch a hair of Student Zhuge Ni even if they were given ten thousand guts. What kind of great change could actually make Student Zhuge Qianxing need to use the power of their Investigation Bureau?

Seeing Huang Litian agree, Student Zhuge Qianxing nodded with satisfaction and ordered someone to call Student Zhuge Ni out.

"Dad? What are you doing? It's so early, the sky has just dawned!" Student Zhuge Ni, who had just woken up, was wearing bear pajamas, obviously very dissatisfied with Student Zhuge Qianxing waking her up so early.

"Aren't you always looking for that Ling Ye? There is news about him." Student Zhuge Qianxing said with a smile.

"Hmm? Really?" Student Zhuge Ni, who was sleepy, instantly brightened up when she heard this.

"This is Investigation Officer Huang. You change your clothes and go with him. Investigation Officer Huang will explain it to you clearly." Student Zhuge Qianxing said with a smile.

"Okay!" Student Zhuge Ni's complexion was somewhat unnatural when she saw Huang Litian. She naturally remembered Huang Litian.

Watching Student Zhuge Ni and Huang Litian leave the small courtyard, Student Zhuge Qianxing sighed leisurely. He took out a key from his bosom.

Student Zhuge Qianxing rubbed this ancient key lightly. Its surface was covered with traces of time, as if telling endless past events.

This was a seemingly ordinary bronze key, with mottled rust on it, but it contained a mysterious power that could reveal the origin of all things in the world.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Student Zhuge Qianxing suddenly coughed violently. Scarlet blood splashed on the key, looking shocking, but Student Zhuge Qianxing's complexion remained calm.

"Ye Lin, oh Ye Lin, I really didn't expect that you could actually solve Wang Kensen single-handedly. When will you finally be willing to come and beg me to help you? My time... is not much left."
