When the three little ones returned to Xia Country, there was only an empty field, proving that a riot had indeed occurred before.

The three of them found a nearby cafe and sat down. Zhao Liuer looked at the razed building not far away and couldn't help but exclaim in amazement: "Oh my god, such a big building, it's gone just like that! How on earth did they get all that ammunition in there? It's amazing!"

At this moment, Qian Cheng was staring intently at the nearby surveillance video. Suddenly, his brows furrowed slightly, and he said solemnly, "I always feel that the woman holding the knife in the video looks a lot like Ai Yu."

After saying that, he turned to look at Ai Yu who was drinking hot milk beside him.

Hearing this, Ai Yu looked bewildered, blinking her clear and innocent eyes and asked, "Hmm?"

Seeing this, Zhao Liuer smiled and patted Qian Cheng's shoulder, saying, "No, Qian Cheng, what are you thinking about? Don't overthink it. Ai Yu has been with us the whole time, and she was so tired helping us that she fainted."

Qian Cheng chuckled softly and said, "I just feel a little bit like it, but I'm not really sure it's like that." After saying that, he casually turned off the video screen and gently stirred the cup of fragrant coffee in front of him with a spoon. He sighed and complained, "It's really great! We've only been out for a while, and our headquarters is gone."

However, Zhao Liu'er didn't seem overly worried or nervous about this situation. She responded nonchalantly, "It's gone, so be it. It's not something we should be worrying about anyway. What I want to figure out most right now is who the idiot was who assigned us such an impossible task!"

She slammed her fist on the table and said, "Also, how many casualties did this serious riot inside Qimen cause?"

Hearing this, Qian Cheng silently nodded in agreement. He then quickly swiped the screen of his tablet, expertly pulling up another relevant document and began to carefully review it.

After a moment, he looked up and told Zhao Liuer, "Well... judging from the data we have so far, the death toll isn't too high. After all, not many people usually stay in the Qimen Building."

Ai Yu picked up the cup, drank the remaining milk in it, then stretched out her tongue to gently lick off the milk stains on the corners of her mouth, and said thoughtfully: "We returned without permission, how can we explain to Qimen?" She knew that this issue was crucial and imminent.

Zhao Liuer spread her hands helplessly and replied, "Now that the person is gone, who can we turn to for an argument? Let's hurry back to Ji Palace."

Qian Cheng slowly picked up the coffee cup and savored the delicious taste, saying that he would finish the coffee in his hand before talking about other things.

Eleven handsome men in suits sat around a circle of exquisite leather sofas in a spacious and bright conference room. Each of their faces displayed a different expression: some were serious and solemn, others were smiling, and still others had a wandering gaze, as if they were preoccupied with other matters.

The entire conference room was filled with a tense and mysterious atmosphere.

The ornate, dazzling crystal chandelier suddenly flickered without warning, as if foreshadowing something ominous. The man in a suit, who had been resting with his eyes closed, suddenly opened them and swept his gaze across the crowd.

"You mean, the whole building was blown up, but we still haven't figured out who's behind it?" The man's voice was deep and majestic, with an irresistible aura.

The other ten people looked at each other, their eyes revealing a hint of tension and uneasiness. Su Ci, who was sitting to the left of the main seat, coughed lightly, trying to break the suffocating silence.

He was plain, even unremarkable, and would have hardly attracted anyone's attention if he had been in a crowd. However, in this situation, he was second only to the man who had spoken, and possessed considerable influence.

"President, please rest assured, we have launched a comprehensive investigation." Su Ci's tone was calm and firm, as if he wanted to calm the other party's emotions.

"Let's put everything else aside. Haven't we even found any clues about the woman with the knife? Now, such a powerful person has appeared in the country of Xia, and he is not even on the list of Moon Messengers recorded in Qimen! What is going on?" The president asked immediately, his tone full of aggressiveness.

Facing the president's question, Su Ci was clearly well prepared. He calmly replied, "Please calm down, president. After repeated investigations, I can confirm that this person is not the Xia Kingdom's Moon Envoy."

"Oh? Then tell me, which country did this suddenly appearing Moon Envoy come from? What is the purpose of her trip? Also, does she choose to assist Qimen? Is there any other hidden motive or intention behind it?"

Su Ci's eyes flashed, and he gave a meaningful look to the great elder beside him.

The Great Elder understood. He crossed his fingers and placed them firmly on the table. He then replied calmly, "To answer your question, Master, based on the intelligence we have so far, this woman is undoubtedly the Moon Envoy of the Huai Kingdom. As for the specific reason for her visit and her true intentions in helping Qimen, we still need to investigate further to find out."

Hearing this, the president frowned slightly. His eyes, sharp as an eagle, quickly swept over every member present. Then, he snorted disdainfully, "Su Ci, I order you to immediately start raising funds and devote all your energy to the reconstruction of the Qimen Building.

At the same time, we must properly handle the comfort of the families of the injured and dead, and quickly start a new round of relevant personnel to take up their posts. This matter is non-negotiable and must be completed as soon as possible! "

Facing the president's order, Su Ci did not dare to neglect it in the slightest and quickly bowed his head and agreed: "Okay."

However, after a moment, Su Ci seemed to remember something important. He raised his head, looked at the president cautiously, and asked hesitantly, "President, regarding 000's search for NI001... What are your thoughts or suggestions on this?"

"000? The Moon Envoy with Sariel as her name?" The Guild Master frowned slightly, taking a moment to remember. "Wasn't she imprisoned by us? How did she get out?"

Su Ci weighed the pros and cons in his mind. "President, you haven't been in Xia Country before, so there are many things you don't know. To be honest, the secret experiment on NI001 was somehow exposed and sabotaged by his student Ai Yu. 000 was also lost in that sabotage."

"Those who should be punished will be punished, and those who should be arrested will be arrested."
