Lin Qiye did not rush to pick up the knife, but turned around and looked at the man.

"Why did you give this collection to me?" Lin Qiye asked in confusion, "Even Wang Mian only took a sequence 301 forbidden item, why did you give me such a high-risk knife?"

"Of course it's because Captain Lin is worthy." The man smiled and said, "Your potential will only be higher than Wang Mian. The master believes that you... are the true destination of this forbidden object."

Lin Qiye frowned slightly and was about to say something when the man continued:

"Besides that, the master may have a little selfish motive."

"What selfish motive?"

"If the Baili family encounters any problems one day in the future, we will have to rely on your help..." the man said respectfully.

"So, this is just a deal?" Lin Qiye understood what he meant and asked with a frown.

"What's wrong with a deal?" The man smiled. "We guarantee that this matter is within your capabilities and will definitely not violate the rules of your Night Watch. It is reasonable and logical."

Lin Qiye fell silent.

Indeed, in a sense, transactions are more reassuring than simple gifts.

51bequge.

If it is true as he said, it doesn't seem to be an excessive request to ask me to help the Baili family in the future which does not violate the rules of the Night Watch and is still within my ability.

After all, this is the property of Baili Pangpang's family. If one day something really happens to the Baili family, he should help out even without any reward for the sake of Baili Pangpang's kindness.

When you think about it this way, the deal seems like a good deal.

"Okay, I promise you." Lin Qiye closed the black box, put it behind his back, and spoke calmly.

Seeing Lin Qiye put away [Zhan Bai], the man's smile became even brighter, and he bowed deeply, "You and your team will be the eternal friends of the Baili family."

By the time Lin Qiye walked out of the room carrying [Zhan Bai] on his back, the other three had already picked out the forbidden items they wanted.

Cao Yuan picked out a string of white Buddhist beads to hang on his hand, An Qingyu took out a square iron box whose contents were unknown, and Jia Lan picked out a silver retro bracelet and was playing with it with his head down, apparently liking it very much.

"It looks like everyone has already made their choice, so let's go straight to the venue," the man said with a smile.

Several people left the collection hall and took the elevator again with the forbidden items they had selected.

This time, they went straight to the top floor of the main building, the 166th floor.

…

Shangjing City.

"Commander Ye."

"Hello, Commander Ye."

Ye Fan, dressed in casual clothes, walked in the corridor of the Night Watch headquarters. The staff who passed by greeted him proactively. Ye Fan nodded slightly and continued to walk forward.

"So, you think someone wants to harm Baili Tuming, so you deliberately withheld his team admission documents?" Zuo Qing beside him spoke thoughtfully.

"That's right." Ye Fan nodded.

"That's not right." Zuo Qing frowned slightly. "Bai Li Tu Ming is the heir of Bai Li Group. If I were his competitor, I would hope that he would quickly join the special team and be too busy to manage the group. I would let him be a hands-off boss so that I can corrupt the group bit by bit. It would be even better if he could die in battle... Why did you go to so much trouble to withhold his team membership documents?"

“That’s exactly what I don’t understand.”

The two men walked to the door of the archive room, showed their credentials one after another, and then walked in.

The archive room stores many highly confidential documents and only high-ranking members of the Night Watch can enter, so the environment is much quieter than outside. The two walked through the metal racks full of file bags and went straight into the depths.

"There is another possibility, that is, the person who withheld the documents was Baili Xin." Ye Fan said while searching for documents on the metal rack, "He is an honorary senior of the Night Watch and the father of Baili Tuming. If he didn't want his son to risk his life to join the special team, so he withheld the application, everything makes sense."

Zuo Qing stood in front of the metal rack, lowered his head and thought for a long time, then shook his head.

"You and I both know what kind of person Baili Xin is... cold-blooded, ruthless, and profit-oriented. If his son joins the special team, it will only give him a greater say in high-level meetings, and it will even be a good thing for the entire Baili Group. How could he give up such a huge benefit just because he pity his son's life?"

"call……"

Ye Fan blew gently on a layer of the metal rack, blowing up the dust on the file bags that had been stored for a long time. He stretched out his hand to disperse the smoke and dust, and slid his fingertips over the stacked file bags, as if looking for something.

Finally, his fingers stopped on a brand new file bag.

"The situation here seems to be far more complicated than we imagined." Ye Fan took the file bag with the words "Bai Li Tu Ming" written on it from the metal rack behind him. "Anyway, let's start with Bai Li Tu Ming's Night Watchman file, starting from when he entered the Night Watchman, and work our way back little by little... to see which link went wrong."

Zuo Qing nodded, his eyes fell on the file bag, and a look of doubt appeared in his eyes.

"Strange, this file bag must have been there for more than two years. How come it still looks so new?"

Ye Fan's hand, which was opening the file bag, paused slightly, his brows furrowed, and he opened the documents faster.

He took out a thick stack of papers from his file bag and started reading through them carefully, starting from the first page. The moment his eyes fell on the first sheet of paper, he froze in place.

The fat figure sitting on the ice boat that he met on the sea that day emerged in his mind.

His brows were furrowed tightly.

"How could this happen? How is this possible..." He stared blankly at the document in his hand, his eyes full of confusion and puzzlement.

"What's wrong?" Zuo Qing took the documents from his hand and read them one by one. "Is there anything wrong with these documents?"

"No, that's not right!" Ye Fan shook his head repeatedly, "Wrong, all wrong..."

He turned around and quickly walked to the computer in the deepest part of the archive room. He quickly called up Baili Tuming's electronic document. The scroll wheel quickly moved across the document, and his expression became more and more solemn.

"On which day is the Baili family's birthday party?" He turned and asked Zuo Qing.

Zuo Qing thought for a moment and said, "It should be today."

"Where is the Fifth Reserve?"

"Attending a birthday party." Zuo Qing answered as a matter of course, "Didn't you personally approve these two days of vacation for them?"

“Oh no…”

Ye Fan stuffed the document in his hand into Zuo Qing's hand and said seriously: "I have an important meeting to attend later, Zuo Qing, please go to Guangzhou and Shenzhen for me!

If I’m not mistaken, something big is going to happen to Baili Group…”
