Chapter 362 I Will Remember This Revenge
"I see. Well, you should continue to follow up on the clues from the Lingyue Church and interrogate the people you captured to see if they recognize the two masked men."
After hanging up the call from Yan Jue, Lu Shan fell into deep thought.
Shuo Bai still kept smiling while knitting a sweater. He heard everything that Yan Jue and Lu Shan said on the phone clearly.
"Did you get the answer you wanted?" Shuo Bai asked gently.
Lu Shan sighed: "Chang Yue went back with his two little friends. It seems that they really didn't do this."
"I've already told you that although Xiao Chang harbors resentment towards us, he won't do anything to harm the Special Management Bureau."
"This incident actually didn't cause any loss to the Special Management Bureau. On the contrary, it helped us follow the clues and find the hyena." Lu Shan stood up and walked to the French window. Looking at his reflection in the mirror, he said, "I don't know how old I am."
"For people like us, what's the point of being old or not? Come on, I've been here drinking tea with you all afternoon, and I've made plans to play mahjong tonight. You can just play by yourself, old man."
Lu Shan watched Shuo Bai leave through his reflection without saying a word. But after the old woman left, the corners of his mouth curled up, revealing a sly smile: "Old woman, you are a little too greedy. I hope this can teach you a lesson. There are some things that we old friends are not comfortable saying, but for the young people who don't know the limits, it may leave you with a profound lesson."
After coming out of Lu Shan's office, the kind smile on Shuo Bai's face disappeared. She took out her cell phone and made a call: "Come to my place. I have a mission for you. The target is a demon and a vampire."
Gradually, Shuo Bai's eyes became extremely cold: "... Kill them all."
......
During these few days, Li Muhan and Xia Yue looted nine strongholds of the Lingyue Church in Pingjing City, and led the Special Management Bureau to destroy their hiding places in one fell swoop. Later, Li Muhan didn't have to worry about attracting attention. As long as he appeared under the camera, the Special Management Bureau's enforcement team would follow in a moment.
So to outsiders, it looked like these two masked men, a man and a woman, were leading a group of people in black suits around. Over time, word spread among the aliens that the so-called masked gang were actually all spies from the Special Management Bureau.
You know what, I guessed it right.
Of course, the little flower demon's sisters were also rescued by Li Muhan. Although those little things seemed to cry even harder after seeing Li Muhan, Li Muhan finally escaped with peace of mind after watching them being taken into the car by the Special Management Bureau.
At this moment, it was the last day of the seven days given by Chang Yue. Li Muhan huddled in the back seat of the car, Xia Yue's head resting on his thigh as she slept soundly. He borrowed Xia Yue's latest phone and opened the map. Looking at the red dots he had drawn over the past few days, he couldn't help but smile bitterly: "If I don't close the net soon, I'm really going to become the boss."
At this moment, his own cell phone rang. He took out his phone and saw a string of garbled characters. He answered the call with some confusion.
[Little brother, you've been very active these days~]
Frost Moon's voice came from the other end of the phone, so Li Muhan carefully took a cushion for Xia Yue to use as a pillow, and he tiptoed out of the car and walked to a corner of the underground parking lot.
"I thought you were really going to keep playing dead."
In response to Li Muhan's dissatisfied tone, Shuangyue chuckled: "Don't say that, brother. You have to understand that there is a knife hanging over my head. If I'm not careful...I will lose my head."
"So now the knife is off your head?"
As Li Muhan spoke, he opened a bag of bread and started to eat it. This was his breakfast.
"Shouldn't I say moved away... Well, let's change the subject, brother. I didn't expect you to actually do it. In just a few days, you've got the Special Management Bureau going crazy over the Rin Yue powder issue."
Li Muhan took a bite of bread, with some crumbs still on the corner of his mouth. His voice was slightly hoarse, "The transaction of Linyue powder in Yunyin Chamber of Commerce is a thing of the past, and the Linyue Church can no longer interfere with your business, right?" He continued, the sound of chewing bread intertwined with his voice, forming a unique rhythm.
Hearing this, the other party seemed slightly stunned, and then a hint of surprise and approval appeared in his tone.
"Not only that, the Rinyue Church is currently struggling to cope with the relentless pressure from the Special Management Bureau. I heard they're even planning to completely evacuate Pingjing City. All of this is thanks to you, brother."
Li Muhan shook his head upon hearing this and said, "Don't credit me with everything. I merely acted as a catalyst. The relationship between the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce, the Lingyue Church, and the Special Management Bureau is like walking on a tightrope, fragile and delicate. All it takes is a suitable external force, like a stick stirring up muddy waters, to easily upset this balance."
[Hmm...] Shimotsuki let out a noncommittal laugh, then continued: [That also depends on the stick...how thick...and hard it is. Little brother...you're pretty hard, and I'm very satisfied~]
Li Muhan shuddered and nearly choked on his bread. He coughed twice and said, "Since I've done what you asked, our deal is over, right? I hope you can wake the cat up as agreed."
"Of course, little brother, I will keep my promise immediately. By the way... since you're such a good boy, I'll tell you one more thing."
"What's up?"
My little brother just asked me if the knife on my head had been removed. Now I can tell you that the knife has always been there, it just moved to your head.
Li Muhan was slightly stunned. He didn't understand the meaning of this sentence at first, but suddenly, he felt a breath suddenly enveloped the entire parking lot. This was the breath of the Realm Edict, and it was different from the previous Realm Edict.
This feeling is the new type of boundary decree developed by the Irish Blood Moon Church. Although its radius is not as large as the traditional boundary decree, it can move with the person who deploys it, so it is very good at fighting battles that require pursuit or killing.
Li Muhan's ears then caught the sound of heavy and rapid footsteps coming from the distant parking lot entrance, as if foreshadowing an approaching storm. Then, the shrill sound of brakes shattered the night's tranquility. A dozen black, unlicensed cars rushed in like a pack of wolves, followed by two minivans packed with people. They burst into the hidden, abandoned parking lot with thunderous force.
Li Muhan's eyes swept over the uninvited guests who were gradually gathering around him. Their presence was like an invisible cage, trapping him and the car beside him in the center.
He gripped the phone tightly, spoke into the receiver, and said in a cold tone, "You betrayed me?"
The voice on the other end of the phone sounded helpless, yet with a hint of cunning.
"Brother... don't be like that. You were the one who said our deal was over. I just made a deal with someone else, and what they want is you. I'm a businesswoman, so don't blame me."
"...I will remember this grudge."
After saying this, Li Muhan crushed his phone into pieces and strode towards his car.
He quickly put on the Prajna mask to hide his true identity.
Just then, he noticed that Xia Yue was slowly waking up. Her eyes were still trying to break free from the shackles of sleepiness, and she looked around in a daze.
"...are we going to fight again?"
Xia Yue's voice sounded particularly confused under the dim light inside the car, and there were still traces of dreams in her eyes.
Li Muhan gently placed an exquisite fox mask on her face, making sure it hid her expression, then gently ruffled her hair and soothed her, "Be good and stay in the car. I'll take care of everything."
Without waiting for Xia Yue to react, Li Muhan quickly closed the car door.
At this moment, the atmosphere in the parking lot suddenly became tense, and a group of men wearing masks filed out of the black cars.
They held a variety of weapons in their hands. From their exaggerated stature and features, Li Muhan keenly realized that these people were not ordinary humans, but aliens with extraordinary powers, and their strength should not be underestimated.
"Interesting." He pulled out a cold, hard iron rod from the passenger seat and pointed it at the group of people surrounding him. His tone was full of provocation and confidence: "Whoever wants to die, step forward!"
Snap——
So the masked men took a step forward in unison.
"...Don't think you're so great just because you have so many people. I'm telling you, I'm not a pushover either. I have people behind me too! Take another step forward, and I'll call for help!"
Snap——
Everyone took another step forward, and the encirclement narrowed further.
Li Muhan sneered. Damn it, these people couldn't be from the Yunyin Chamber of Commerce. They could only be people called by the Linyue Church or the senior official in the Special Management Bureau who was protecting the Linyue Church. No matter which one it was, their purpose was simple, which was to take his life.
Moreover, these people are by no means ordinary people. The aura they exude is at the cholera level at the weakest, and the strongest one is a woman wearing a black leather jacket. The aura she exudes even makes Li Muhan feel uneasy.
This woman...is a disaster level.
