After Yan Feng and Colin left, Wang Qiwen and the other two immediately gathered around Lu Ning.

"Wow! Is this a Horcrux? It's so beautiful!" Qiu Yuelin's eyes sparkled as she looked at the patterns on the twin guns.

Gorgeous and elegant.

This perfectly matches her aesthetic.

Wang Qiwen and Wei Xuan have different focuses.

Wei Xuan asked curiously, "Just how powerful are these bullets? If they're more powerful than a sniper rifle, they're probably comparable to small artillery shells, right?"

Wang Qiwen was incredibly envious: "It can actually be imbued with elemental attacks? Does that mean Lu Ning can be considered to have awakened elemental abilities in the future?"

Seeing the three of them getting closer, Lin Xiao warned, "Hey, be careful. Although low-risk soul artifacts don't emit particularly strong mental radiation, your levels are too low and your mental strength is too weak. If you stay close for a long time, it will still affect the stability of your mental strength. It might not cause any serious illness, but it will definitely affect your mental strength tempering."

Upon hearing this, the three people's expressions changed, and they quickly distanced themselves.

"So, does that mean we can't use Soul Weapons now?" Wang Qiwen asked, looking disappointed.

Lin Xiao chuckled and said, "That's not necessarily the case. Even you guys can use it for a short time, but the side effects are quite significant. You might not be able to use your mental energy for a while, and your mental pollution level will increase."

Qiu Yuelin stuck out her tongue: "Then I'd rather not use a soul weapon."

Lin Xiao smiled and said, "Don't worry, with me, Colin, and now Lu Ning in the team, it's not your turn to use the soul weapon."

Then his expression turned serious: "If it really comes down to you, then it's a big deal."

Colin returned shortly after.

After the group finished breakfast, Colin took Qiu Yuelin and Wei Xuan away from the branch office to Tianxing Entertainment Group to investigate Han Yu's situation and the list of birthday party attendees.

Lin Xiao, Wang Qiwen, and Lu Ning stayed behind at the branch, so naturally they had nothing to do.

After discussing it, the three decided to go to the underground training room to see the power of the red rose and the white rose.

The dual pistols use ordinary handgun bullets, and each magazine holds twenty rounds, so the dual pistols hold forty rounds.

Its normal power is quite enormous. Lin Xiao took out a five-centimeter alloy steel plate to test it, and it was easily pierced by a single shot.

Compared to this, a normal handgun is practically a toy!

After Lu Ning used the ability attachment, the power was further enhanced.

If enough mental energy is applied, the flame bullet can explode, making it almost like a small cannonball.

Frost bullets can freeze an area.

After Lu Ning finished testing the power, Wang Qiwen was completely devastated.

"This elemental ability is stronger than mine!"

Even Lin Xiao was somewhat surprised: "This soul weapon is more powerful than the Coiled Serpent Staff, and it's a special soul weapon of the firearm type. In your hands, this soul weapon is simply a weapon of mass destruction! Lu Ning, you owe Director Wang a huge favor this time."

Lu Ning nodded: "Mm."

…………

It wasn't until 5 p.m. that Colin and his two companions returned to the activity room, looking exhausted.

Lin Xiao immediately asked, "How is it? Is there any progress?"

Qiu Yuelin complained, "Yes, there is, but Han Yu's parents are just too much! They actually think that it was because we didn't discover it in time that their son got sick. Can you believe it?"

Even Wei Xuan, who usually has a good temper, revealed a mocking expression: "Why don't they think about whether they've properly disciplined their own sons?"

Lin Xiao looked at Colin, who calmly said, "Although the process was a bit bumpy, overall, we still gained some insights. We visited Han Lin, the president of Tianxing Group. He said that Han Yu used to work at Tianxing Group, but he's been frequently taking leave lately, supposedly to go out with friends. Also, Han Yu's temper has been a bit strange lately; he gets irritable and angry from time to time, which he never did before. In addition..."

Colin paused for a moment and then said, "Our investigation shows that Han Yu has recently been sexually harassing quite a few celebrities, both men and women. According to our understanding, he wasn't interested in men before."

Lin Xiao raised an eyebrow: "This matches what we found during our investigation at the Public Security Bureau. Has this only recently started?"

Colin nodded: "Yes, we questioned many employees of Tianxing Entertainment Group and obtained statements from many people, all of whom said that Han Yu's recent words and actions have been somewhat strange."

"Judging from this, Han Yu must have recently been in contact with Paradise. Even if he hasn't been in contact with Paradise, he must have used the Fallen Incense." Lin Xiao nodded thoughtfully.

He then asked, "Has Han Yu been getting close to anyone lately? Or rather, has he met with any suspicious individuals?"

Colin smiled and said, "I was also thinking that perhaps some of the people Han Yu had met recently were members of Happy Paradise, so I investigated Han Yu's recent whereabouts and found three rather suspicious individuals. One is Samantha, a minor starlet from Tianxing Group. There are rumors in their group that the two are in a romantic relationship. Another is a middle-aged man named Li Yang. He owns several casinos and bars and may be involved in organized crime. Some people have seen Li Yang visiting Tianxing Group several times. The last one is Zhu Jianyi, Han's butler. According to Han Lin, Zhu Jianyi has done a lot for Han Yu, and he also organized this birthday party. However, Zhu Jianyi disappeared after the birthday party."

"Disappeared?" Lin Xiao frowned slightly and sat up straight. "Could it be that they fled to avoid punishment?"

Colin nodded. "That's possible, so I think he's the most suspicious. The second is Li Yang. After all, Gao Tianlin's Peach Heart Gang was quite successful in the underworld of the base city. If Li Yang's business involves this area, he might have some connection with Gao Tianlin. We haven't found anything useful on Gao Tianlin's trail yet, so this might be a breakthrough. As for Samantha, she's been with Tianxing Group for a while now, and there are quite a few rumors about her—after all, she's a celebrity, so no one can tell if they're true or not. We don't know if she and Han Yu are really lovers. Even if they are, given Han Yu's later performance and the number of people he's involved in shady dealings with, even if they're lovers, it doesn't prove anything."

Lin Xiao nodded slightly in silence, then said, "In that case, let's focus on Zhu Jianyi first and find his location. Even if Zhu Jianyi isn't a member of the Happy Paradise behind the scenes, given his close relationship with Han Yu, he should know some things. Then we need to investigate Li Yang to see if he's had any contact with Gao Tianlin. If so, he's quite suspicious. As for Samantha, we should also have someone monitor her. Better safe than sorry; we can't let any opportunity slip by."

Colin nodded and said, "In that case, we might not have enough manpower."

“That is a problem… We can get some people from headquarters to help us, and then we can put up a bounty on the black market.”

Colin nodded slightly: "That's a good idea."

"Let's leave it at that for now. Colin, you draft a detailed plan later, and we'll start taking action tomorrow. I'm going to the black market tonight. Lu Ning, you're coming with me."
