Thunderstorm Asthma? I’ll Just Drain the National Power Grid!

97: Emerging from the dragon’s den, only to fall into the tiger’s lair!The two transformed into streaks of light, flying directly upwards.

The higher they went, the fainter the crazy laughter became, until it was completely swallowed by the howling wind.

Lin Yuan was expressionless.

Su Wanqing was also silent.

The truth revealed at the bottom of the Abyss of Suppressing Prison was too terrifying.

Using living Family members to feed the abyss, just to create a so-called “container”?

Such actions could no longer be described as “insane.”

These were simply devils in human skin.

Soon, the edge of the rift valley was already close at hand.

Just as the two were about to rush out of the abyss.

“Swish! Swish!”

On the cliff edge, behind several huge rocks, several dark figures suddenly darted out, frantically sprinting towards the other side of the grassland!

Someone was watching!

“Split up and chase!”

Su Wanqing let out a cold shout, cold Qi gushing from her feet, and she slid rapidly towards one of the dark figures on the left.

“Trying to run?”

Lin Yuan sneered, and the Thunder Falcon Wings on his back vibrated violently!

A flash of lightning.

He crossed hundreds of meters and appeared in front of the dark figure on the right, blocking his path.

It was a man wearing a Qin Family Guards uniform, his face covered with black cloth, revealing only a pair of numb eyes.

He hadn’t expected the opponent’s speed to be so fast!

Seeing his retreat blocked, a hint of desperation flashed in the man’s eyes.

Lin Yuan frowned.

Not good!

He moved, grabbing the opponent’s throat.

“Pfft!”

A stream of black blood spurted from the man’s mouth.

His body went limp, and in the blink of an eye, he lost all signs of life.

Lin Yuan let go.

The corpse lay on the grass, a strange sense of relief still lingering on his face.

Poisoned himself to death.

Lin Yuan squatted down and inspected it.

A poison sac was hidden in his tooth socket.

He was a dead warrior.

Just then, Su Wanqing also swept back from a distance, her expression equally grim.

“Mine was the same.”

She shook her head.

“As soon as I caught up, he committed suicide.”

Lin Yuan stood up, looking at the corpse on the ground, and fell silent.

These dead warriors were clearly monitoring the movements of the Abyss of Suppressing Prison.

When they saw him and Su Wanqing delve into the depths, they must have already gone back to report.

And the few who remained were to confirm whether they could come up alive.

Once they came up, they would immediately go back and report.

If they couldn’t come up... then naturally there would be no need to report.

“It seems that what Qin Feng, the one below, said was all true.”

Lin Yuan’s voice betrayed no emotion.

“The Qin Family is rotten to the core,” Su Wanqing’s voice was cold.

As a member of the Dragon Shield Bureau, she had a physiological aversion to such disregard for human life.

“So what do we do now?” She looked at Lin Yuan, “Report to headquarters?”

“Report?” Lin Yuan laughed, “Report what? That we listened to a half-human, half-demon madman tell a story? Where’s the evidence? Just these two corpses?”

Lin Yuan kicked the corpse at his feet.

“Useless.”

“So we’re just going to let it go?” Su Wanqing’s brows furrowed even tighter.

“Of course not.”

A hint of playfulness flashed in Lin Yuan’s eyes.

“Since they like to play, we’ll play along with them.”

He turned and walked towards the exit.

“Let’s go, back ‘home’.”

“They went to such great lengths to put on a show, they must have an audience, right? We can’t let them down.”

Su Wanqing looked at his back, paused for a moment, then understood.

Lin Yuan was going to... beat them at their own game.

The two said no more and quickly returned to the “Supervising Officer’s Dormitory” arranged for them.

The door slowly closed behind them.

Lin Yuan plopped down on the sofa and took a bite of the fruit on the table.

“This apple is good, quite sweet.”

He said indistinctly.

Su Wanqing: “...”

What was this guy’s heart made of?

After experiencing something like that, he still had the mood to eat an apple?

“What do you plan to do?” She couldn’t help but ask.

“Wait.”

Lin Yuan spat out the core and picked up another one.

“Since they know we came out alive from below, and they also know their secret, what do you think they’ll do?”

Su Wanqing pondered for a moment.

“Either, kill us to silence us.”

“Or, they’ll try to win us over.”

“Exactly.” Lin Yuan snapped his fingers, “Killing us to silence us would cause too much of a stir. After all, we were sent by the Dragon Shield Bureau headquarters. If we die here, Director Zhou, that old fox, would definitely turn this Kunlun Mountain upside down.”

“So, they only have the second option left.”

“Win us over.”

A meaningful smile appeared on Lin Yuan’s face.

“And, I bet.”

“They’ll be here very soon...”

No sooner had he spoken.

“Thump! Thump! Thump!”

The door to the room was knocked.

Lin Yuan and Su Wanqing exchanged glances.

They’re here.

Su Wanqing walked to the door and looked through the peephole.

Standing outside the door was the expert who had previously carried Qin Jun away.

She didn’t open the door but turned to look at Lin Yuan.

Lin Yuan winked at her.

Su Wanqing understood and opened the door.

The man stood outside the door, his face no longer showing the previous anger, but instead filled with respect.

“Supervisor Lin, Officer Su.”

He bowed slightly.

“The Clan Chief has already prepared a humble banquet at Kunlun Pavilion to welcome you both.”

He raised his head, a perfectly appropriate smile on his face.

“I hope you will honor us with your presence.”

Lin Yuan leaned back on the sofa, not getting up.

He looked at the man and slowly asked, “Is the food tough?”

The man was stunned for a moment, then said, “Supervisor Lin is joking.”

He quickly adjusted his expression, maintaining a respectful posture.

“The Clan Chief specially invited a famous chef, and all the ingredients prepared are top-grade, sure to suit your tastes.”

“Oh?”

Lin Yuan finally showed some interest and stood up.

“Then I must try it.”

He looked at Su Wanqing and grinned.

“Let’s go, Comrade Deputy, time for a free meal.”

Su Wanqing nodded expressionlessly, but she felt a surge of speechlessness inside.

“Both of you, please.”

The man turned sideways and made a “please” gesture, his posture extremely humble.

Lin Yuan and Su Wanqing followed him out of the dormitory.

As they walked, the atmosphere in the corridor clearly changed.

Those Qin Family Guards who had previously looked at them with scrutiny now lowered their eyes respectfully, and upon seeing them approach, even actively bowed in greeting.

It was as if Qin Jun, who had been severely injured by Lin Yuan’s kick earlier, had nothing to do with them.

The more this happened, the more abnormal it was.

Soon, they arrived in front of an ancient, elegant pavilion.

“Kunlun Pavilion.”

This was where the Qin Family entertained its most distinguished guests.

Inside the pavilion, lights blazed brightly.

A round rosewood table was already filled with people.

Sitting in the main seat was an old man with a resolute face and slightly graying temples.

It was the Qin Family Clan Chief, Qin Shan.
