Noticing their heightened emotions, Ge Wen adopted a defensive stance and glanced at Jiang Yuan out of the corner of his eye, saying, "Master Jiang, Luo Jiao is ruthless; you must be careful."

"He used to work for the Secret Service, but later... he went astray and betrayed his comrades in a dangerous moment in order to gain merit."

"Let them...let them sacrifice themselves in vain!"

A hint of sadness appeared in Ge Wen's eyes.

Although he was the leader of Luo Jiao at the time, he always regarded him as his good brother.

Although they were of different ages, they entered the Mysterious Bureau on the same day.

After that, they went on missions together.

They worked together seamlessly and in perfect harmony during the mission.

They quickly gained some reputation within the bureau, and even higher-ups came to see them in person.

They had been partners for several years, until Luo Jiao lost the captain election, after which he seemed to have become a different person.

Instead of teaming up with him, I led the new recruits on missions myself.

The methods used to carry out the missions are no longer the same as before; instead, they have become much more brutal and tyrannical.

If something can be resolved with force, there will be no reasoning with kind words.

He had advised him to be more moderate in his actions, but he wouldn't listen to his superiors and continued to do as he pleased.

During one of the missions, only Luo Jiao returned.

He was covered in wounds and blood.

Luo Jiao said that he encountered a powerful lone ghost, and all his colleagues were eaten by that ghost.

They believed it.

After that, Luo Jiao continued to do things his own way, leading the new recruits on missions.

On one occasion, a vengeful ghost appeared at his house, just as Luo Jiao was patrolling nearby.

When the vengeful ghost appeared, Luo Jiao was the first to lead the team to the scene and fight against it.

When he heard that a vengeful ghost had appeared in his house, he immediately led his men there.

When I got there, what I saw was...

A vengeful ghost possessed his wife, and his wife and son...

They were all killed by Luo Jiao.

He watched as Luo Jiao snapped his wife's neck and his son lay in a pool of blood.

He went berserk and attacked Luo Jiao, but Luo Jiao insisted that he was right, saying that he was doing it to maintain social order. He claimed that Luo Jiao's wife and children were possessed by a vengeful ghost and that if they didn't die, someone else would.

However, even though there were other ways to force the vengeful ghost out of his wife's body, Luo Jiao chose to kill her instead.

The vengeful ghost died, his wife and children died, and his heart died too.

He joined the secret service to protect his wife and children, and to protect society.

But unexpectedly, he couldn't protect them.

He also knew that Luo Jiao was enforcing the law impartially, so he only beat him up and didn't kill him.

For a period of time afterward, he was heartbroken.

Later, when he recovered and returned to the bureau, Luo Jiao had already become the captain of another team.

He got what he wanted, and became arrogant and haughty.

He wins over people from other teams within the bureau, getting them to side with him.

During the period after his reinstatement, he was constantly ostracized by other teams in the bureau. They all regarded Luo Jiao as their leader, and only the few subordinates who had followed him before were loyal to him.

Later, the more he thought about it, the more something seemed wrong.

His house is protected by a formation; once the formation is broken, he will definitely be able to sense it.

But when the vengeful ghost broke into his house, he didn't sense it at all...

In other words, someone broke the formation when the evil spirit entered his house.

The vengeful ghost was released inside by someone!

At the time, his focus was on this matter, and he was secretly investigating it.

While he was uncovering some clues, Luo Jiao sent someone to assassinate him.

Unfortunately, he was lucky.

Luo Jiao's plan failed.

He was rescued while he was fleeing for his life.

That person was one of the newcomers that Luo Jiao had taken to cleanse the wandering souls!

He heard a different version of the story from the newcomer.

They were not killed by wandering spirits, but by Luo Jiao, who used them to feed the wandering spirits and refine them into vengeful ghosts!

Everyone else's souls were eaten, but she survived because she possessed a magical artifact.

That magical artifact helped her escape a calamity, but Luo Jiao did not let her go and secretly sent people to look for her.

So she kept hiding and dared not show her face.

I'm afraid Luo Jiao will find me and silence me!

The newcomer described the appearance of the vengeful ghost to him.

Only after looking closely did he realize that it was the same vengeful ghost that had entered their home and possessed his wife and children!

It was all Luo Jiao's conspiracy!

Luo Jiao wanted to take revenge on him and make him lose everything!

A large portion of the Mysterious Bureau's members are Luo Jiao's people, and they have been bribed by Luo Jiao.

Therefore, they had no choice but to find another way, secretly finding the leader of their secret bureau while collecting evidence of Luo Jiao's crimes.

Later, the two of them conspired together, and with the help and sacrifice of his former subordinates, they successfully met the true head of the Mysterious Bureau. With the evidence they had collected and witness testimonies, they were able to bring down Luo Jiao.

Luo Jiao should have died at that time, but many people in the Mysterious Bureau had been caught red-handed by him and could only secretly inform him and help him in secret.

So Luo Jiao escaped.

He couldn't find where they had escaped to.

Over the years, he has never given up searching for Luo Jiao, the revenge for his wife and children, and the revenge for those newcomers whom he used to feed their souls. He must take revenge!

I never expected Luo Jiao to be hiding in H City!

In recent years, many of those who helped Luo Jiao and colluded with him in the bureau have resigned, and many have been punished.

It took the bureau several years just to purge these corrupt officials.

So over the past few years, the bureau has actually...
