Chapter 72 Top Secret.
Li Xiaogou didn't know what to say. He just hoped that Mo Shang would never regret his choice until his death.
"Let's talk about these things later. Let's go help them quickly."
Yunlou nodded and suddenly smiled: "Finally, you look like a captain."
Li Xiaogou carried Wang Bo, Yunlou followed behind him, and the three of them fled outside.
The gate was less than a hundred meters away from them, very close.
Li Xiaogou quickened his pace, but suddenly felt a lightness on his back. He subconsciously reached behind him, but only grabbed air.
Wang Bo lowered his head and flew backwards at a rapid speed, as if being pulled by an invisible string.
Li Xiaogou's pupils suddenly shrank. Puppet Master?!
However, the next scene made him even more furious.
The one who caught up was not the puppeteer, but Mo Shang.
There was a big hole in his chest, blood dripping all the way. Mo Shang, with a pale face and looking deader than dead, caught up with him.
Yunlou was fighting with him, but in the instant they met, his left arm was cut off at the root.
Li Xiaogou could no longer tell whose face was paler, Yunlou or Mo Shang.
However, all this was happening quietly behind him, and Yunlou did not utter a single groan. If Wang Bo had not been kidnapped, Li Xiaogou would probably have escaped from the Information Department directly.
Without thinking, he turned around and rushed towards Mo Shang.
Of course, he would not be so arrogant as to think that he was more powerful than Yunlou, but he did not know the true strength of his system, so he had one more trump card than others.
But he only took three steps forward before he was bounced out by an invisible wall.
Is this...a device?
The metal scattered on the ground said it all. Li Xiaogou was very familiar with it. There was also the Special Investigation Bureau logo on it.
This was thrown by Yunlou in order to isolate him from the battlefield.
puff.
The sound of a sharp blade piercing flesh was accompanied by the harsh sound of metal scraping against bones. However, the person who was suffering from all this gritted his teeth and allowed his weapon to nail him to the wall. He did not howl or beg for mercy.
The most sensible thing to do is to leave here, but his legs felt like they were filled with lead and Li Xiaogou couldn't do it.
Come on, come up with something!
At this moment, Yunlou bit his back teeth and thrust forward. The long black metal pierced through his entire shoulder blade with his strength, and blood was dripping. He tripped and forcibly switched positions with Mo Shang. The metal also changed direction with his movement and pierced Mo Shang's shoulder heavily.
Two people were worn together.
"Li Xiaogou!" Yunlou roared.
"Here." Li Xiaogou tried to stop his voice from trembling.
Yunlou raised the corners of his lips, but choked and coughed up blood because of this action.
"Take it, and leave here immediately."
Yunlou endured the excruciating pain that made his eyes go black, bent down, grabbed the collar of the sleeping Wang Bo, and used all his strength to throw him towards Li Xiaogou.
The moment Wang Bo hit the transparent wall, ripples began to form in the transparent air, spreading out layer by layer.
This is the opportunity!
Li Xiaogou flew up, grabbed Wang Bo's wrist and threw him behind him, then used the force to rush towards the tiny hole that appeared in an instant.
However, just as one of his arms had already reached into the space and he was about to pass through it, a huge force suddenly appeared at his waist and pulled him backwards.
Everything in front of me was shrinking rapidly, my vision was blurry, and there was a trace of water.
Li Xiaogou saw Yunlou turn his head slightly and smiled at him.
"No, let me go back!"
The door of the Ministry of Information slammed shut mercilessly before my eyes.
He was thrown to the ground.
The man didn't hold back, and his tailbone hurt from the impact, but that was nothing compared to the pain of his heart being gripped.
He immediately jumped up and rushed towards the door of the Ministry of Information.
Then he was slapped back by a palm.
This went on two or three times, and then the man asked in a deep voice, "Is that enough?"
Li Xiaogou's ears moved slightly, and his bloodshot eyes slowly turned to the right, and only then did he see the identity of the person who came.
Jiang Yao.
In order to escape from Jiang Yao, he fled back to the Special Investigation Bureau for help.
He couldn't completely trust Yunlou, so he went directly to find Wang Bo.
Everything that happened afterwards happened so fast that he had no time to sort out the cause and effect.
Jiang Yao is such a persistent person that she even risked her life to rescue him from the Ministry of Information in order to kill him herself.
"Better to act like a dead person than to make Yunlou invisible again."
The man sneered: "Can you kill me by staring at me? Carry him, and follow me if you still have the strength."
Li Xiaogou didn't move.
Jiang Yao sighed, it was really tiring.
"Look at what's going on outside?"
Li Xiaogou didn't want to pay attention to him, but his brain controlled his body and he subconsciously did as he was told.
There were no bloodstains, and no smell of blood in the air.
"But I just clearly heard—" Li Xiaogou's voice stopped abruptly.
He suddenly remembered the special ability of the man in front of him.
"You're on the Special Investigation Bureau's side!" Li Xiaogou was surprised and delighted, "Then let's go back and save Yunlou."
"I'm Yan Chong. I don't want anything to do with the Special Investigation Bureau. The commotion outside was created by me using illusion. Saving you and this brat is all a favor I owed Yun Lou, and I've already paid him back."
"It's up to you whether you want to follow me or not, but I must remind you that if you stay here you will ruin Yunlou's plan."
After the man finished speaking, he walked towards the door. Li Xiaogou stared at the door that would not open to him, his nails digging deeply into his palms, then he turned his head and walked towards the door.
If all this was Yunlou's plan, then Yunlou would definitely leave himself a way out.
Of course.
On the way out, they didn't meet anyone. The Special Investigation Bureau was empty and everyone had disappeared.
"Don't worry, I took them all away in advance."
"How did you…"
He suddenly remembered that the man's identity was still "Jiang Yao" in the eyes of other people in the Special Investigation Bureau. If it was Jiang Yao, there would always be a way to let them leave.
The man chuckled and didn't answer.
"What about Jiang Mu?"
"It's okay, just a beating."
A suffocating silence followed until the two of them were completely out of the Special Investigation Bureau's pursuit range.
An extremely thin silk thread lay across Jiang Yao's neck. If he took another step forward, his throat would be easily cut.
Jiang Yao stopped and looked at Li Xiaogou: "Not hiding anymore?"
"If you are not the enemy, there is no need to hide from you. If you are, there is no need to hide from the dead."
Jiang Yao smiled: "Only Yunlou can appreciate your virtue."
Hearing Yunlou's name, Li Xiaogou tightened his grip, and the thread immediately cut a bloody mark on Jiang Yao's neck: "Tell me, what exactly is Yunlou's plan?"
Li Xiaogou was not sure of defeating Jiang Yao, but he believed that if he sacrificed his life, he could at least seriously injure Jiang Yao.
Jiang Yao values his life more than him, so he is destined to lose.
His eyes were always fixed on Jiang Yao.
The latter leaned against the wall leisurely, bent down, lowered his eyes, lit a cigarette, took a deep drag, and then spoke: "Yan Jing and Yun Lou were childhood sweethearts. She died that night, and I didn't expect this guy to remember it for more than ten years. I don't know how he discovered my identity. When he found me, he was already the captain of the famous first team of the Special Investigation Bureau."
Amidst the smoke, the man's expression was mysterious.
"When he came, he brought me a document, top secret."
"The document states that the Yan family was eliminated overnight. While it's true that several other families were eyeing them covetously and didn't offer any assistance, the fundamental reason was that someone provided evidence that the Yan family was planning a rebellion."
"Who is it?"
"The first director of the Special Investigation Bureau, Yan Jiang."
This was not the first time Li Xiaogou had heard of Yan Jiang's name. Every agent would be introduced to the history of the establishment of the Special Investigation Bureau during their training before joining the bureau, and Yan Jiang was a person who could not be avoided no matter what.
"Why did he do this?" Li Xiaogou now felt that the whole world was ridiculous and he couldn't trust anyone.
"Who knows? Yunlou has been investigating for so many years and still doesn't know." Yan Chong grinned, "Do you know how he died?"
Li Xiaogou answered subconsciously, "He was framed and killed. He wanted to reform and limit the power of the major families. The reform was successful, and the major families became what they are today, but Yan Jiang was killed by the counterattack."
"After dealing with the Yan family, Yan Jiang turned his attention to the remaining families. They did fight fiercely at the time, but the families weren't united. Meanwhile, the Special Investigation Bureau grew stronger and stronger. As one family gained power, the other grew weaker. The families had no choice but to surrender most of their power and become honest, law-abiding businessmen. Yan Jiang wasn't satisfied with this. He believed that if the power of the aristocratic families wasn't completely eradicated, they would surely rise again."
"But the turmoil had just ended, and everything needed to be rebuilt. A relative balance was what all parties welcomed. Yan Jiang's radicalism and paranoia caused more and more people to be dissatisfied, not just those from the major families, but also many more... Then one day, he died. No one knew how he died, or even if he was really dead."
Li Xiaogou frowned: "What do you mean? Wasn't his body found?"
"Yes, but for people with special abilities, there are ways to survive outside of their bodies. Haven't you seen people with special abilities who have transformed their souls?"
Li Xiaogou remained noncommittal. He was more concerned with another question: "Mo Shang...how did he do it?"
"He's dead."
"Is Mo Shang being manipulated? Is he a puppeteer?"
Yan Chong shook his head: "It's not the puppeteer. The puppeteer's strength is far inferior to Yunlou, and the puppets controlled by the puppeteer are not as strong as the puppeteer. It is impossible for him to seriously injure Yunlou like that."
"Who could that be?"
"No matter who it is, Yunlou expected it. The reason I've been talking to you for so long is because he asked me to relay the information I just received to you. From the moment I revealed my flaw to the moment you escaped back to the Special Investigation Bureau, it was all a huge scheme from beginning to end."
"You are the one the Special Investigation Bureau has been trying to catch. I can't figure out why Yunlou set up this trap."
"He said all this was to lure someone out." Yan Chong didn't want to continue talking at this point. "Now, take your unconscious friend and leave Yunqing with me."
