Gaowu invasion, I can see the future

25: He called me stupid! Black Blood Blade“She’s your cousin?”

Liu Feifei’s tone was a bit excited.

Upon hearing that someone knew her, Chen Man immediately said excitedly, “Yes! We even bathed together when we were little, we were very close.”

Bai Yu: ???

I don’t recall that part!

If that were true, his parents’ generation would have teased them, right? But he had never heard of it.

Chen Man was only a year older than him; if his parents hadn’t mentioned it, she couldn’t possibly remember either.

After a careful recollection, he suddenly remembered that his cousin was full of lies.

For her, this statement probably didn’t even count as lying.

Instead, Liu Feifei’s eyes lit up, and she excitedly said, “Do you have photos? I want to see!”

“Uh, my parents mentioned it, but there are no pictures.”

Seeing this, Liu Feifei was a bit disappointed: “Alright.”

She had no doubts about human nature at all.

Bai Yu said speechlessly, “Feifei Jie, when we go back, I’ll buy you nine walnuts. You need to supplement your brain.”

“??? Are you calling me stupid? Tell me, where am I stupid!?”

Liu Feifei was fuming, how could he call her stupid!?

Annoying guy!

Hmph ~ I’m not talking to you anymore!

Bai Yu was speechless.

He just secretly glanced at Li Yunbin and the others who were watching the show.

As for the leaders, seeing that Team Leader Li Yunbin didn’t mind, they all remained silent.

Chen Man, however, didn’t care about any of that. She said to Bai Yu, “Why are you here at my place? You didn’t even say anything beforehand.”

“Come on, how about we go have a meal together? You can bring all your friends.”

Chen Man’s action clearly showed she was completely disregarding the occasion.

If Bai Yu’s status were low, he would probably have lost his job.

Bai Yu still maintained his composure as much as possible and said helplessly, “I’m busy with important matters.”

“Hmph! How many years has it been since we last met!? At least five or six years, right? You can’t even have a meal.”

Bai Yu: Heh heh ~ Don’t you have any sense?

Chen Man was not a fool; she knew in her heart that the meal would not happen.

Her behavior was merely to show her relationship with Bai Yu.

Then, she changed the subject, saying, “We haven’t added each other as friends yet. How about we add each other now, and then you can contact me after you’re done with your work.”

“Alright.”

After adding each other as friends, Chen Man left happily.

Many employees on the way also saw this scene.

The version in their eyes was: Chen Man seemed to have connections with an important figure.

Following the direction Chen Man left, her several close friends could be seen, all of them stunned. Afterwards, they would definitely question her thoroughly.

Chen Man would certainly use this matter to brag immensely.

Finally, after seeing his cousin off, Bai Yu looked at the Team Leader and said helplessly, “Team Leader, let’s get to business.”

Li Yunbin was in a very good mood at this moment, and he rarely showed such a broad smile, saying, “I didn’t expect you, kid, to also encounter such a predicament.”

“...I’m a normal person, okay?”

On the way to the office area.

All the factory workers had left, and there was no one on the road.

Li Yunbin said directly, “The perpetrator of this case is cruel in his methods, and his energy is extremely evil. There might be a conflict later, so everyone needs to be careful.”

To Bai Yu’s surprise, Xu Deputy Director actually asked, “What level?”

Bai Yu: Have these people already understood it to this extent?

He had only learned about the classification during testing last night. Although Team Leader Li Yunbin was only in the Qi Gathering Realm, his level tested a few months ago was 14!

“The residual energy at the crime scene is already level five. The actual combat power might be between level 8 and 10.”

Hearing this, Xu Deputy Director became much more serious.

There were a total of five leaders who came along, two of whom seemed not to understand the level classification. They wanted to ask, but felt the occasion was inappropriate.

Just then, the factory director’s phone rang.

He was a bit embarrassed, then secretly glanced at it, finding it was a message from the person who went to gather people.

After reading it, he quickly reported, “Team Leader Li, when Zhu Chen heard that the factory was looking for him, his expression was a bit strange. So the workshop director who was sent there, in order not to arouse suspicion, immediately called over a dozen people from his team.”

“Hmm, I understand.”

If there were many people, the situation would naturally be more difficult to control, and if a battle broke out, the subsequent handling would also be troublesome.

But at least it was much better than making an arrest in a crowded place.

Office building.

As soon as they entered, they began to set up and arrange.

The few leaders also quickly thought of an excuse to call him over: to present an advanced award to motivate other employees.

On the way.

The workshop director responsible for gathering people said naturally, “This time you guys are lucky. Almost every team is very lazy. In order to stimulate production enthusiasm, we plan to select an advanced team and issue bonuses!”

“After much deliberation, a leader casually mentioned your team, and it was chosen.”

The co-workers from the same team who came along were a bit excited when they heard this.

“Director, how much is the bonus?”

“Yeah, it won’t be stingy, will it?”

“Two thousand per person!”

“Two thousand!”

Everyone was a bit excited. Although it wasn’t much, it was like picking up money for free.

However, Zhu Chen, who was in the crowd, had a noticeably serious expression.

When he got off work, he hadn’t seen the leaders or the Investigation Bureau personnel, but he had overheard others discussing it as he passed by.

Having a guilty conscience naturally leads to more suspicion.

‘What if they’re here to catch me?’

Although he killed ruthlessly, his intelligence was not very high. Even if he suspected it might be a trap, he didn’t want to fully expose himself now, so he could only follow the crowd.

This was the result of indecisiveness and incompetence.

Inside the office building.

After a brief discussion, the arrangements were almost complete.

Bai Yu, from the window on the second floor, could already see the approaching people.

He took out the golden page, wanting to test whether the tracking technique was effective.

He infused it with Qi.

The black energy within the page clearly reacted, beginning to spin continuously.

The golden light on the surface of the page flashed constantly, growing brighter and brighter.

Li Yunbin and the others also saw this scene.

“If the suspect makes any unusual move, act immediately.”

“Understood!”

“Feifei, protect Bai Yu later.”

“Hmph! He called me stupid.”

Bai Yu: “...”

Despite saying that, Liu Feifei was certainly thinking of protecting Bai Yu as much as possible.

But just then, a golden light rushed out from the page and landed on Bai Yu’s forehead.

A piece of information surged into his mind.

He vaguely felt a fated confrontation. At the same time, he also realized that the other side had detected him!

“Not good! The other side found me!”

Li Yunbin and the others didn’t know what happened to Bai Yu, but in the first instant, they all chose to believe Bai Yu.

‘Kid, you’ve been found!’

Zhu Chen froze for a moment, his mind didn’t immediately process it, and he asked, ‘What’s wrong?’

‘Take me out.’

‘There are too many people right now; it will expose us.’

‘You idiot!’

The power within his body began to forcefully surge into his body, and his eyes gradually turned black.

Zhu Chen held the black blood blade, and a dark, evil light flickered in his eyes.

At this moment, ‘he’ could sense Bai Yu’s aura from afar, a power that filled him with extreme hatred!

‘Heh heh ~ I didn’t expect to meet so soon.’

The co-workers in front noticed the abnormality and turned back to ask, “Zhu Chen, what’s wrong?”

The workshop director who was leading them turned back and saw the deep black of his pupils, shouting, “Run! He’s a monster!”

The surrounding co-workers didn’t know about the existence of transcendent monsters and didn’t react immediately.

However, a few people, seeing the workshop director running wildly, were quick-witted and immediately fled.

Suddenly, Zhu Chen, dagger in hand, stabbed the nearest co-worker, but was blocked by a green barrier.

He increased his strength, and with a ‘crack, crack, crack,’ it shattered.

Jiang Chen shouted a warning, “Run!”

But the person who was attacked, looking at the deep black eyes, was so scared that he froze on the spot, unable to move.

In an instant, the dagger pierced through the barrier and stabbed into this person’s heart.

His body quickly turned black and withered.

Zhu Chen glanced at the investigators rushing over, then flashed, turning into a black shadow.

In a flicker, he appeared fifty meters away, about to escape.

But a huge blue barrier blocked his path, vaguely forming a boundary.

With a “boom” of impact, Zhu Chen exited his afterimage state, his eyes turning fierce, and he looked back at Li Yunbin and the six others who were chasing him.

“I didn’t expect you to find me so quickly.”
