Chapter 53



"Is this the nth time today that Bai Yu has fallen into Captain Chu's arms?"

Yuan Xue looked to the other side of the office and asked in a low voice.

"I don't remember. I can't count them all."

Lin Mo counted his fingers and shook his head.

"Will Bai Yu be affected by the pollutants?"

Yuan Xue was worried because she had just killed a deformed person whose mind was affected by pollutants but whose appearance was the same as that of a normal human.

"Is there such a pollutant that specifically makes people weak and limp?"

Lin Mo blinked and tried to recall.

"Who knows? There are so many types of pollutants, and their abilities are so bizarre. There must be some that we don't know about."

"giao~giao~" Xiao Mi agreed.

...

...

The whispered comments behind the scenes did not attract the attention of the parties involved. Bai Yu picked up the scattered papers on the ground, hid the hair he had picked up from the other party with his fingertips, apologized skillfully, and then opened the office door:

"Then I'll go and deliver the documents first."

Chu Zehuai raised his eyes and looked at the other party: "Wait."

"Is there anything else? Brother Zehuai."

"Give me back what you took from me."

Chu Zehuai's golden-orange eyes were now covered with a layer of frost.

One suspicious point may be a coincidence, after all, Bai Yu’s thinking process is different from that of ordinary people, but the appearance of so many suspicious points at the same time is enough to turn suspicion into certainty.

Chu Zehuai glanced in the direction of Yanran, then stood up and placed his right hand on the scabbard.

"Also, don't say such disgusting names with that face. You don't deserve it."

Bai Yu blinked and tilted his head: "I don't quite understand what Brother Ze Huai is talking about."

As he spoke, he took a step back without making a sound, only to find that Yan Ran had stood in the corridor outside at some point, with a long sword on his back, his arms folded across his chest, staring at him with a half-smile.

"It's okay, I'll make you understand."

The Dingguang sword was unsheathed inch by inch, reflecting a cold edge under the light.

Seeing that the other party was serious, "Bai Yu" was too lazy to pretend anymore. He leaned against the door frame, changed back to his previous tone and smile, and touched his chin:

"Hey, you recognized me first. You are indeed my nephew. I thought it was someone else. You know, I made it up based on your memory and imagination."

After all, other people’s impression of Bai Yu is definitely different from Chu Zehuai’s impression of Bai Yu, so the chances of other people recognizing him first are higher.

"Chu, Yun, Sheng!"

Chu Zehuai's teeth were gnashing. When he thought of the person on the other side calling him "Brother Zehuai" so many times and pretending to be weak and leaning towards him, he felt his stomach churning.

Sparks of flames ignited around the sword, and the temperature around it rose accordingly.

At first, he still suspected that something had occupied Bai Yu's body, and was worried that if he rashly used the sword, he would hurt Bai Yu's body. But since this was fabricated by the other party, he would just kill him directly.

Compared with the last time, Chu Zehuai's actions this time were more fierce and swift. Yanran drew out his long sword and stood in the corridor outside.

The golden flames slid in the air, leaving a long trail, perfectly avoiding the papers and wooden bookcases in the office, and rushed towards each other.

"You can really do this to this face."

Facing an attack that was more fierce than the last time, Chu Yunsheng was not as panicked as before. He even had the leisure to make a joke. His pupils, which had become four, were full of smiles. His warm breath brushed across Chu Zehuai's face.

"My dear nephew, I am more familiar with this place than you."

With a "creak", the wall on the side suddenly opened, and the Dingguang sword left a mark on the wall.

Yan Ran, who was waiting on the side, showed a rare expression of shock: "Why is there a hole in the wall at the door of our office?"

Chu Zehuai put away his sword, left a question to ask the director, and followed him.

Letting the other party get away with this kind of dark history must never happen a second time.

The tunnel is very long and narrow, and is surrounded by specially made bluestone that can isolate the smell of pollutants while also preventing outsiders from knocking and exploring.

This is also the reason why no one has discovered it outside for such a long time.

There are many traces of battle on the bluestone, including scratches from cold weapons, pits left by bullets, and even huge scratches.

The dried bloodstains stuck to it and fell down with the flow of air.

Chu Zehuai didn’t have time to think about what was going on here. He chased Chu Yunsheng and actually made his way to the roof of the tallest building of the Investigation Bureau.

The fierce sunlight slanted down, and Chu Zehuai, who had just adapted to the dark environment, couldn't help but squint.

Chu Yunsheng was standing at the very edge of the roof.

"As expected, one still has to admit old age. When I was young, including your father and your aunt, no one could catch up with me here—"

Chu Yunsheng raised his hand to tidy up his short hair that was messed up by the wind. Before he could finish his sentence, he felt a pain in his chest. The tip of the Dingguang Sword was already against his heart.

"How dare you compete with me in speed?"

Chu Zehuai sneered and looked down at him with his golden-orange eyes.

The feeling of death was so strong, his heart was screaming with danger, Chu Yunsheng didn't even bother to show off, and when he felt that his eldest nephew really wanted to kill him, he quickly threw out the trump card he had prepared.

"Stop, you can't kill me now--"

A white sign flew towards the other party. After seeing the name on it, Chu Zehuai's pupils shrank sharply. The Dingguang sword in his hand subconsciously changed direction and stabbed into Chu Yunsheng's right chest with a "puff".

"Ahem, have you ever thought about who took these clothes and my ID card from?"

Chu Yunsheng wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth. He looked at the other person's gloomy face and put on a nasty smile again.

"Aren't you afraid that after I die, you will never see him again?"

Chu Zehuai pursed his lips, and finally chose to retract the sword: "What do you want?"

Chu Yunsheng covered his chest which was constantly bleeding: "Let's each take a step back. If you let me leave, I will tell you his location."

After seeing Chu Zehuai really take a few steps back, he couldn't help but cover his lips and laugh, and then he started coughing violently, coughing up a large amount of blood.

Why didn't he know before that his nephew was so gullible?

He is infatuated and naive, and he might be taken advantage of by others in the future. In this respect, he is exactly the same as his good-for-nothing pigeon brother.

"What are you laughing at? Are you lying to me?"

Chu Zehuai frowned, and the blood-stained Dingguang Sword in his hand reignited its flames.

"Well, why would I lie to you? I admit that I'm not a good person, but at least I will keep my promise."

Chu Yunsheng, whose face was pale due to lack of blood, opened his wings, and his four blood-red pupils moved.

"I just left an address on your desk. Just follow that address. Be quick. If you are slow, I am not sure what will happen. My dear nephew, please don't end up like my sister and end up with a lifelong regret."

After saying this, he fell straight backwards, his rapidly falling body making the wind whistle. When he was about to land, the pair of bright red wings behind him suddenly opened.

Chu Zehuai gripped the hilt of the sword tightly, staring at the receding figure, and finally sheathed the sword. In order to save time, he simply climbed into the office through the glass outside the building.

Several people inside were exchanging information around the secret passage.

"I was wondering how Bai Yu could suddenly become so weak and delicate, it turns out it was fake."

Lin Mo said angrily, still kneading Xiao Mi in his arms.

"You've seen it a long time ago?" Yanran glanced sideways.

"In fact, as early as when he poured water on my brother, I suspected that he was not Bai Yu."

Lin Mo puffed out his chest and said proudly.

"So early? That's right, Bai Yu would never make the stupid mistake of spilling water on someone."

Yuan Xue nodded in agreement.

"No, it was him who spilled water on my brother and immediately went to pick up the broken pieces of the cup. Based on my understanding of Xiao Bai, he should have taken off my brother's uniform immediately."

Lin Mo was full of confidence, and Xiao Mi even made a "giao~" sound in response.

His best friend always liked to do something to his brother, so how could he miss such a good opportunity?

Chu Zehuai who just climbed in through the window:........

"Hey, brother, you're back." Lin Mo quickly shut his mouth.

"Captain Chu, I'm sorry for not catching him the first time."

Yanran whispered. She was closest to the person at that time, but because she felt that the other person could not escape, she relaxed for a moment.

"It's okay. I didn't expect there would be a secret passage next to it. It looks like it was dug at least fifty years ago. Besides, I didn't recognize it wasn't Bai Yu at first."

Chu Zehuai asked everyone to return to their seats while he quickly searched for clues on the table.

"It's normal that you can't recognize him. Didn't he say that the fake Bai Yu was made up based on your memory and imagination..."

Lin Mo comforted his brother for a few words, but halfway through, it was as if Watson had discovered a blind spot, and his tone instantly changed from comfort to shock.

"...So, in your impression, Xiaobai is the kind of person who would call you 'Brother Zehuai' every day?"

What kind of unknown games did they play in private?

"No, don't think too much." Chu Zehuai didn't have time to pay attention to his brother and continued to search on the table.

"So you're imagining that Xiaobai calls you that every day? Or are you imagining that Xiaobai will 'accidentally' fall into your arms frequently? Brother, I didn't expect you to actually -"

Before Lin Mo could finish his words, Yuan Xue quickly covered his mouth.

Didn’t you see the blue veins on Captain Chu’s forehead?

If the other party had not been busy searching for something, he might have beaten Lin Mo to the point where Director Chu wouldn't be able to recognize him.

"Can I help you?"

Yanran motioned Yuan Xue to cover Lin Mo's mouth, and then quickly walked to Chu Zehuai's side.

"The uniform and ID card he was wearing belonged to Bai Yu. I don't know where he hid the real Bai Yu. He said he left the address on my desk."

Chu Zehuai put aside stack after stack of documents he had read, his expression gloomy.

No, none of that. He might have been cheated by the other party again.

Bai Yu, whose clothes and ID card had been stripped off, might be lying somewhere at this moment, his life or death unknown.

The situation in Qinghe City is not stable yet. Pollution distorters may appear at any time. Bai Yu...

"Captain Chu, please calm down first—"

"I'm calming down."

With a creak, the door was pushed open and a puzzled voice was heard.

"Hey, why is the office so messy? Also, when did a hole appear in the wall above our door?"
