Chapter 44: Exposure of the Immortal Body

~7 min read 1,327 words

Although Ye Lin didn't know what the key the tall, thin man was talking about was, he knew very well that this thing was his only life-saving straw.

Sure enough, when the tall, thin man heard this, he narrowed his eyes. He had originally only come to find Ye Lin with the idea of rather killing the wrong person than letting one go, but he hadn't expected to really gamble right.

"The key is indeed on you! Speak! What do you want to hand over the key?"

"Take me out of the Investigation Bureau first!"

Originally, Ye Lin had planned to stay in the Investigation Bureau until the college entrance examination started, but now it seemed that the Investigation Bureau was the real dragon's den and tiger's lair.

He never imagined that the Deputy Director of the Investigation Bureau would also have contact with Wang Kensen!

"Are you sure?" The tall, thin man looked at Ye Lin coldly. "If you leave the Investigation Bureau now, you will become a wanted criminal and won't even be able to participate in the college entrance examination trial."

Ye Lin pursed his lips. In front of him seemed to be a real dead end, with no chance to break the deadlock at all.

In his feeling, the strength of this tall, thin man in front of him was even more terrifying than Wang Kensen's.

Whether fighting or fleeing, he clearly couldn't have any chance.

"Then can I contact someone?"

In a desperate situation, Ye Lin thought of someone. If it were that person, perhaps he could help him. This was also his only way out.

"You can, I'll give you one minute." The tall, thin man said indifferently.

Of course, he didn't think Wang Kensen was killed by Ye Lin, a high school student, single-handedly. There must be a huge mysterious force behind Ye Lin.

In the tall, thin man's view, Ye Lin's move must be to contact the mysterious force behind him.

That was fine too; he could follow the vine to find the melon and know a few details about that mysterious force!

A flash of brilliance crossed the tall, thin man's eyes. At the same time, Ye Lin also dialed a phone number.

Looking at the ringing phone, Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing on the other end of the phone showed a smile. He pushed his glasses and laughed dumbly.

"Finally waited for you."

Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing answered the phone.

A moment later, in the prison of the Qingcheng Investigation Bureau, a man wearing a windbreaker with an elegant temperament appeared.

When the tall, thin man saw the person coming, he was stunned on the spot.

"You are... Mr. Student Zhuge!"

The tall, thin man's heart was shocked, his eyes full of horror.

He never imagined that Ye Lin could actually invite Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing! Could it be that the mysterious force behind Ye Lin was also connected to Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing?

"Are you leaving by yourself, or do you want me to do it?" Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing pushed his glasses, his calm tone filled with an unquestionable dominance.

"Mr. Student Zhuge... you!" The tall, thin man's breathing was rapid, staring at Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing fixedly, then gritted his teeth and said. "They all say Mr. Student Zhuge has no intention of power, which is why he lives in seclusion in Qingcheng, but now it seems Mr. Student Zhuge's ambition is not small."

If Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing made a move behind the scenes, then the underground black market and Wang Kensen being wiped out overnight made sense.

"Can't talk about ambition, just making a living." Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing suddenly took out an ancient key from his arms, and the key emitted a peculiar fluctuation. "Come, this is what you want."

The tall, thin man was stunned. Seeing the key he wanted appear in Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing's hand, he was even more certain that the person behind Ye Lin was Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing!

Because this key should have been in Wang Kensen's hand!

But this made the tall, thin man even more unable to understand. Since Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing didn't want this key, why did he want Wang Kensen's life?

It seemed that he saw the tall, thin man's confusion, and Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing smiled and explained.

"Wang Kensen died because he offended someone he shouldn't have offended. Things are one thing at a time. You want the key, I want his life, very reasonable."

The tall, thin man was shocked. He looked at Ye Lin, then at Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing.

"I understand, Mr. Student Zhuge. This matter was Wang Kensen's own death, I will report it and close the case."

Since the key was in hand, he didn't need to offend a big Buddha like Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing. Don't look at how loud Wang Kensen's name as the King of the Underground was; in the eyes of real big shots, Wang Kensen was just a useful chess piece.

The tall, thin man flashed and disappeared in the prison.

Seeing the tall, thin man leave, Ye Lin let out a sigh of relief. He respectfully bowed to Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing.

"Thank you, Mr. Student Zhuge."

If there was really no other way, Ye Lin really didn't want to beg this person. He always felt that Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing could see through all the secrets on him.

Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing smiled and didn't say much, but turned and walked to the dead monkey-like man, kicking him.

"Stop pretending to be dead."

The monkey-like man jumped up with a whoosh and chuckled.

"Mr. Student Zhuge is truly a divine calculation, even pretending to be dead couldn't fool you."

Ye Lin was a bit shocked. He had seen with his own eyes that the monkey-like man had been pierced through the heart with a blade. Could he still live?

This monkey-like man knew Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing, and the key the tall, thin man wanted should have been in Wang Kensen's hand, but it appeared in Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing's hand for no reason. He always felt that he had been involved in an incredible event.

"Reflected for two years here, are you done reflecting?" Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing asked.

"Done reflecting, Mr. Student Zhuge! I, Guo Qin, hate women the most now! I get annoyed when I see women, I swear!" The monkey-like man raised three fingers and said.

"Then come with me." Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing nodded.

"Okay!" Guo Qin followed Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing neatly.

Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing raised his hand and drew lightly, and a crack appeared in the space in front of him. He took Ye Lin and Guo Qin and walked in.

On the other side of the crack was an ancient courtyard with towering trees and swaying emerald bamboos, ancient and fragrant.

"Guo Qin, you go outside and wait for me, don't let anyone get close to here."

"Yes, Mr. Student Zhuge!"

Guo Qin disappeared from the spot neatly, his speed so fast that it was as if he had disappeared out of thin air.

Only Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing and Ye Lin were left in the courtyard.

"Ye Lin, long time no see, please sit." Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing sat by the stone table without any airs.

"Thank you, Mr. Student Zhuge. If it weren't for Mr. Student Zhuge's rescue, I might really have been in danger." Ye Lin said respectfully.

"Danger? Indeed, it is."

Student Zhuge Student Zhuge Qianxing pushed his gold-rimmed glasses meaningfully.

"After all, if the secret of the immortal body were made public, I'm afraid the top powerhouses of the entire Great Xia, no, even overseas, would have top powerhouses making a move on you." ===== CHAPTER 45 =====
