Jin Yining turned and strode away to do what he had to do.

Shang Ning felt like she had drifted a long way, but she didn't know exactly where she had drifted to. It seemed like she was in the sky, or maybe somewhere else entirely.

She wanted to find Jin Yining, but she couldn't find him no matter how many places she searched.

It was pitch black all around, and she couldn't see anything clearly. Even the sounds she made would disappear.

But where is Jin Yining?

The battle that raged through the stormy night ended at sea level, the rain had stopped, and a rainbow appeared on the horizon.

But in the end, they failed to catch the person beneath the ghost ship, and Ning Sang's fate remains unknown.

A night of torrential rain washed away the blood and the corpses. The underwater city was completely sealed off and marked with the Snow Wolf's name, meaning that no one was allowed to enter this place anymore.

Including Shang Congfeng and Bai Yi, a total of seventeen scientists were rescued. They were to be sent to a designated place for quarantine, but that was not Jin Yining's concern.

However, given that Shang Congfeng and Bai Yi had other matters to attend to, Jin Yining applied for an extension of their quarantine period.

Back in City A, I saw those people off.

Shang Ning had not yet woken up, and they didn't even know if the person who woke up was still Shang Ning.

"Uncle and Aunt, I'm so sorry." All he could do was postpone their quarantine, but he couldn't arbitrarily exempt them from it.

“We understand.” Shang Congfeng looked at his daughter lying on the bed and handed a small box about the size of a thumb to Jin Yining. “This is a chip for stabilizing the magnetic field, but its effectiveness is limited. I don’t have a way to lock the magnetic field at the moment.”

Jin Yining reached out and took it. He hadn't changed his clothes yet, so he didn't look as glamorous as usual, and he had a small injury on his neck.

"I know this plan can't continue, but I have to keep going. I need to find a way to save my daughter," Shang Congfeng said in a deep voice. "Can I see Luo Shen?"

Luo Shen was Jin Yining's previous Snow Wolf, but she had actually retired long ago. Even Jin Yining had never met her; he took over directly from Chu Ningyi.

Jin Yining glanced at Shang Ning, pondering the question.

No one who returns from that place, regardless of who they are, is qualified to see the Snow Wolf.

"Uncle, I'm sorry," Jin Yining said, politely declining the request.

Shang Congfeng was not angry about the rejection and calmly accepted the result.

Shang Ning remained unconscious. After Jin Yining finished writing the case file and submitted it to the system, he went to Elder Chu's place.

Chu Ningyi had already moved back to the Chu family home from the courtyard. When Jin Yining arrived, Chu Ningyi was fishing with his friend. Jin Yining called out to him from behind.

Chu Ningyi asked him to sit down on the stool next to him, "I was just about to call you."

"Elder Chu."

"You should move into Qinxin Garden soon. Find some time in the next few days to move in." Chu Ningyi seemed to have no intention of discussing this matter with him.

"This was my oversight."

“If someone lies dormant for decades without committing any crimes, they are outside our jurisdiction, so it can’t be considered negligence.” Chu Ningyi looked at Jin Yining. “You’ve dealt them a heavy blow this time, and they won’t be making a comeback anytime soon, so there’s no need to worry too much.”

Jin Yining nodded. "Professor Shang wants to see Luo Shen. He said he sent out a distress signal fifteen years ago."

Chu Ningyi paused for a moment while adjusting the fishing rod, then said after thinking for a while, "You decide for yourself. Since I've entrusted it to you, you can make all the decisions yourself. Pay more attention to the Qinxin Garden matter recently, and move in as soon as possible."

“Okay.” Jin Yining didn’t want to move in for the time being, but Shang Ning needed to be written into the system under the name Ning Kong.

However, the Ning family's situation is still unresolved and will likely cause more trouble in the future.
