"I didn't expect Chuanliu to be here with you too. That's perfect, we'll notify both of you at the same time."

Jin Rugo smiled faintly and spoke calmly to Qian Chuan and the other man.

She was dressed in bright colors, wearing a long robe embroidered with totem patterns and a hat with feathers on her head, and she showed no sign of anxiety in her every move.

Li Chengfeng sat beside her without saying a word, but looked at the two of them with a calm gaze.

He was dressed in a simple dark Zhongshan suit, which made him look very low-key. However, the suit was a bit wrinkled, perhaps because he had come in such a hurry that he didn't have time to take care of it.

"Sister Ruge, you came here because of the gunshots during the day, right?"

Qian Chuan rested his hands lightly on the back of the chair, his posture calm, as if nothing had happened.

Jin Rugo's expression hardened, and she said solemnly, "Yes, this is simply a heinous incident! As you know, our Paradise Island is an island protected by our Lord... such things should not exist here!"

Upon hearing this, Qian Chuan's expression turned serious, and he nodded in agreement, "You're right. After all, we were all witnesses at the time, so it's impossible for guns and ammunition to still exist."

Jin Rugo paused slightly, as if remembering something, and continued, "We interviewed the residents of the Cube City who lived nearby at the time, and some people said... they saw you carrying a bloodied person back... What's going on here?"

Qian Chuan replied without changing his expression, "Ah, it was one of my subordinates. The bullet was about to hit me, and my subordinate unfortunately sacrificed himself to protect me."

As he spoke, he put on a sorrowful expression, as if he were mourning the passing of this subordinate.

"It's truly a pity," Jin Rugo sighed softly, her tone full of regret. "May the Lord's light illuminate his path to paradise."

This answer was the result of a joint discussion between Chuanliu and Qianchuan. They knew that if the truth were to be revealed, it would expose a more complex network of relationships. The connection between Lao Feng and Qianchuan, and even the connection between Qianchuan and the First Everything Shop, could be exposed as a result.

Although Jin Rugo seemed to accept Qian Chuan's explanation, she quickly changed the subject, "Given the seriousness of the situation, the higher-ups want a thorough investigation into your bodyguard. If there are no problems, please hand over the body to us, and we will conduct an autopsy to determine whether the wounds were indeed gunshot wounds."

Qian Chuan had already guessed what the higher-ups were thinking, and he regretfully declined, saying, "I'm really sorry, my other subordinates are heartbroken and have already cremated the body. However, if the higher-ups have any questions, they can ask me, and I am willing to fully cooperate with the investigation."

Having said all that, Jin Rugo couldn't bring up the matter of the corpse again. She could only nod with satisfaction, "Good child, your awareness is closely related to the blessings of my Lord."

"Thank you for your protection." Qian Chuan curled the corners of his mouth, without refuting.

After ending the conversation, Jin Rugo suddenly turned to Li Chengfeng beside her, "Old Li, you said you wanted to come along, is there something you wanted to say to these two children?"

Li Chengfeng was caught off guard by Jin Rugo's sudden mention of him. He paused for a fraction of a second, then quickly recovered and cleared his throat. "It's nothing."

Jin Rugo nodded in satisfaction, then turned to Qian Chuan and Chuan Liu, "In that case, you two come with us to the Cube Building. The higher-ups are taking today's events very seriously and have decided to hold an emergency meeting to discuss them. We're here to inform you as well."

Jin Rugo, Li Chengfeng, Chuanliu, Qian Chuan, and a group of guards strolled through the bustling streets. Jin and Li led the way, with Chuanliu and Qian Chuan following closely behind.

Chuanliu stared at the backs of the two people in front of him, secretly planning how to deal with Zhou Zheng and Liu Xingxing after their meeting.

Now it seems that Zhou Zheng and Liu Xingxing are the most suspicious. If it really is them, then what could their so-called "emergency meeting" have ultimately come to?

Only a personal meeting can determine the next steps.

As she pondered this, Chuanliu's gaze inadvertently fell upon Li Chengfeng's attire, and she was surprised to find that he had paired his classic Zhongshan suit with a pair of sneakers that seemed quite mismatched.

She couldn't help but casually remark, "I thought Mr. Li was going for a completely Chinese style."

Upon hearing this, Li Chengfeng was slightly taken aback. He then followed Chuan Liu's gaze to his feet and said as if suddenly realizing something, "Haha, don't you young people like the mix-and-match style? I'll follow the trend too."

Jin Rugo laughed and said, "Old Li, you don't understand. Kids these days are all about their own style, and the eclectic style is just one of them."

The two then began to discuss fashion.

Chuanliu and Qianchuan exchanged a glance and remained silent.

The four continued walking until the Cube Building came into view.

Downstairs, two rows of guards stood out conspicuously. Dressed in uniform, they stood guard on either side of the main entrance, forming an insurmountable barrier.

Jin Rugo and Li Chengfeng were allowed to pass, but when it was Chuanliu and Qian Chuan's turn, they were stopped.

A guard stepped forward and blocked their path with a serious expression.

Qian Chuan frowned slightly, a hint of wariness flashing in his eyes. "What are you doing?"

"Please go through security." The guard answered succinctly.

Jin Rugo explained, "This is also for our safety."

Seeing that the money string was no longer resisting, the guard reached out and began to search it.

On the other side, a female guard also walked towards the flow of people to undergo the same check.

The two men did not resist, but then their respective daggers were found.

"Please come here to collect it when you leave."

The guards politely informed them before letting the two pass.

Even Qian Chuan's own bodyguards were stopped downstairs and not allowed to enter. The four of them went to the top floor of the building alone.

Upon entering the conference room, Zhou Zheng and Liu Xingxing were already there. They were either sitting or standing. When they saw the four of them arrive, they simply nodded and exchanged some polite words.

Subsequently, several official residents, including Ma Tong, arrived one after another, and the atmosphere in the meeting room instantly became quiet.

"Since everyone is here, I won't beat around the bush. I'm sure you've all heard about the shooting that happened in our Block City this morning."

Liu Xingxing's voice was icy cold as he swept his sharp gaze across the crowd.

His words immediately sparked a discussion among the people below.

Someone mustered their courage and asked in a low voice, "It really is a gun! I thought someone was exaggerating. But how could there be guns on our Paradise Island?"

Liu Xingxing's expression was serious. "This is also the question I want to ask everyone. Those of us who have been on Paradise Island for many years know that guns cannot possibly be here."

“Besides,” he paused, then continued, “if this assassin attacks indiscriminately, everyone will be in danger.”

As soon as he finished speaking, he caused a stir among the residents.
