Chapter 3268: Do You Look Down on Me?

Currently, Duke Mining has been completely sealed off by Moroccan official investigators, but for the experts of the Tiger and Bear Army, such a blockade is practically meaningless.

Official investigators have sorted through a large amount of debris recovered from the scene, categorizing the items for further investigation and clue tracing; Song Ruyu's personal sword was among the first items they discovered and was then filed under personal belongings.

The experts of the Tiger and Bear Army were already stationed at the residence of the Right Army Governor-General's mansion and frequently interacted with Song Ruyu, the Assistant Commissioner, so everyone recognized her sword and knew it was a gift bestowed upon her by the Yingzhu.

Upon obtaining this treasure, the Tiger and Bear Army immediately brought the sword back and reported to Wu Shutong.

Upon seeing Song Ruyu's sword, Wu Shutong felt a sudden ominous premonition rise in his heart.

This sword is a magical artifact personally refined by the Yingzhu; for Song Ruyu, it is extremely precious and important—one could say, where the person is, the sword must be.

Now that this sword has been left behind at Duke Mining, it seems Song Ruyu's fate is likely grim.

Wu Shutong sighed, then asked the leader of the Tiger and Bear Army: "Have you found any valuable clues at Duke Mining?"

The leader immediately replied: "Reporting to the Governor-General, although the scene has been burned to ruins, one can still tell that whether it was the Elite Cavalry or the death warriors, when they departed, they carried no personal belongings; the large quantities of food in the warehouse, and the meat, eggs, and dairy products in the cold storage, were not taken away but burned on the spot. I truly cannot comprehend how over ten thousand people could evacuate without carrying any food—do they really have such confidence they can leave Morocco in the shortest possible time?"

Wu Shutong involuntarily furrowed his brows, puzzled: "It's understandable that the Elite Cavalry and death warriors didn't carry food—after all, they are martial artists who can endure several days or even longer without eating or drinking—but the elderly, weak, women, and children cannot go without meals! It's truly baffling that these people left without bringing food."

Speaking, he then turned to the Tiger and Bear Army leader in charge of Casablanca Port: "By the way, when you investigated the port surveillance footage, did you find any trace of those elderly, weak, women, and children?"

The other party immediately replied: "Reporting to the Governor-General, we haven't found anything yet, but we are still conducting a more thorough investigation to see if anything was missed—perhaps we will discover something."

Wu Shutong nodded and said: "Do not overlook any clue, no matter how slight. These death warriors and Elite Cavalry have the ability to infiltrate the port and smuggle out of the country, but it would be much harder for the elderly, weak, women, and children. Auntie and the others—do they have some other means to get people out? You must keep a close watch on the docks, and report any disturbance immediately."

The Tiger and Bear Army camp leader immediately said: "Governor-General, rest assured—I will strictly enforce surveillance and will not leak any clues!"

Wu Shutong told everyone: "The military situation is urgent—please all act swiftly and divide your efforts!"

Several people replied in unison: "We obey your command!"

Afterwards, they all turned and left in succession.

Wu Shutong, holding Song Ruyu's sword, said to Yuan Chengze: "Yuan Chengze, you are responsible for guarding this place—I will go report Song Ruyu's situation to the Yingzhu."

Yuan Chengze clasped his hands, immediately drove Dong Mingchao and his few subordinates out, and then stood guard outside the warehouse door.

Wu Shutong immediately dialed Wu Feiyan's phone, and upon connecting, said respectfully: "Yingzhu, my Tiger and Bear Army today found Song Ruyu's sword at Duke Mining, but we have not discovered any other clues related to her."

Wu Feiyan frowned and asked: "The sword I refined is, at the very least, a magical artifact—such a sword I would not even give to Yun Ruoge, yet they did not take it away. Are they looking down on my things?"

Wu Shutong couldn't understand the Yingzhu's mindset; in his view, recovering this treasure was already the best outcome—why would the Yingzhu instead become angry?

Then he thought: although the Yingzhu is immensely powerful and ruthless, at heart she is still a woman, and a woman's self-esteem differs greatly from a man's. Perhaps in her eyes, she believed her precious item was casually discarded, which is an insult to her—she would rather someone took her treasure and treated it as a priceless heirloom.

Thus, Wu Shutong said somewhat awkwardly: "Yingzhu... I feel perhaps this person simply doesn't recognize value, doesn't know this fine thing... and besides, this is good—your magical artifact won't fall into enemy hands..."

Wu Feiyan coldly said: "Whether Song Ruyu died at this person's hands or was captured by them, that sword would certainly not be overlooked by this person. Seeing it and leaving it at the scene clearly shows they did not regard this sword as important."

After speaking, Wu Feiyan coldly said: "Take good care of that sword, and have the three elders bring it back to me later."

Wu Shutong hurriedly replied: "I obey your command!"

Wu Feiyan then asked: "Have you found any clues in the investigation?"

"Yes!" Wu Shutong immediately replied: "Reporting to the Yingzhu, the Tiger and Bear Army, from the Casablanca Port surveillance footage, found some traces of the Elite Cavalry—they infiltrated the port and then disappeared; I estimate they have already left the port."

Speaking, Wu Shutong quickly added: "But Yingzhu, rest assured—I have already sent people to check all vessels departing from Casablanca Port during this period; we will surely find their traces!"

Wu Feiyan was greatly startled and immediately questioned: "Have they already left Morocco this quickly?"

What Wu Feiyan worries about most is that the mysterious person and the members of Duke Mining have already left Morocco.

The world is so vast—once they leave this small plot of land in Morocco, finding them again would truly be like searching for a needle in a haystack.

She had the three great elders remain in Nigeria, hoping Wu Shutong's subordinates could find them within Moroccan territory, so the three great elders could accomplish their mission in one stroke. If these people have already left Morocco, then this opportunity is completely gone—who knows what losses the mysterious person might bring upon reappearing next time?

Wu Shutong detected the anxiety in Wu Feiyan's tone and quickly explained: "Reporting to the Yingzhu, currently we have only captured the traces of over a dozen Elite Cavalry; I believe they are acting and withdrawing in batches, so I trust that most of them are still in Morocco at this moment."

Wu Feiyan coldly said: "Perhaps some members of Duke Mining are still in Morocco and haven't had time to withdraw—I wonder if that behind-the-scenes mastermind is still there. If he has left, finding him again will be much harder."

After speaking, Wu Feiyan immediately ordered: "Listen well—whenever you capture any member of Duke Mining, immediately chop off their hands and feet, pull out all their teeth, then send them to Nigeria for the three elders to personally interrogate! If you capture too many, kill all their families on the spot, and send the Elite Cavalry and death warriors to Nigeria!"

Wu Shutong hurriedly said: "Yingzhu, rest assured—I will certainly give my all and strive to capture all those who have not yet left the country!"
