Chapter 231 Cleaning
Wei Yan's pupils shrank slightly, and he was a little shocked.
Xu Shen?
Wei Yan was a secret senior official in the bureau. When he was the captain of the second echelon, the young man in front of him was just an ordinary fog dweller who had never come into contact with the ruins.
Now, in the blink of an eye, the other party has plundered everything from Director Liu?
He could hardly believe what he saw, the speed of change was too exaggerated.
"Go back and have a good sleep and eat well."
Xu Shen's expression was calm, and he spoke softly, "Wait a week before you are ready to take over. The internal situation of the bureau also needs to be cleared up to resolve the obstacles that may prevent you from taking office. Be patient."
Wei Yan came back to his senses, feeling mixed emotions, but he did not show them on his face, and quickly lowered his head: "I understand."
The car window slowly rolled up, and several cardinals got in.
Then, under the gaze of Wei Yan and others, the luxury car drove away in a low-key manner.
The next day.
The Xumi Bureau was preparing for a major cleanup, and the news that Director Liu had been killed in battle was reported, causing a stir in the bureau.
When the senior executives of various departments learned the news, they became active in their thinking. While mourning Director Liu, they also set their sights on the position of director.
A director of the logistics department mentioned the sacrifice of Director Liu at a meeting in the morning and mourned with tears in his eyes. In the afternoon, he drove away from the Xumi Bureau and headed towards the city center.
The Queen Ant’s Snow Palace.
However, the vehicle suddenly lost control halfway on the road, and with its engine roaring, it hit several passers-by crossing the street, and finally crashed into a roadside building.
The front of the car was dented, the engine was broken and smoking, and the minister's body was stuck in the vehicle and died on the spot.
The minister himself was also an initial stage Ruins Slayer, but unfortunately he still did not survive.
That night.
Another secretary minister secretly brought back a document from the bureau. When he returned home, he saw his wife and daughter sitting in the living room on the first floor of the villa waiting for him.
Didn’t you go to the second floor to rest?
The minister was a little surprised and called out a few times, but he saw that his wife and daughter were sitting straight, as stiff as sculptures, and did not turn around to look at him.
When the minister approached, he saw that the wife and daughter were tied up with ropes all over their bodies. They had fear in their eyes and dared not move. They only moved their eyes and pleaded for help to him after he approached.
There was a burst of applause.
Several figures walked out from the darkness and looked at the minister with a smile.
"Want to go to the City Headquarters or the Snow Palace?"
The middle-aged man in the lead looked gentle and elegant. He said, "Minister Liu, are you not used to the coffee in our Black Light District?"
"Wei Yan..."
The minister's face was distorted. Besides anger, he was more filled with fear. His body couldn't stop shaking. He didn't expect that what he had done would be discovered.
"The Intelligence Department, they are all my people..." Wei Yan said softly, "Under my nose, even if you are a speck of dust, don't even think about taking it out of the bureau."
Minister Liu seemed to have all his strength drained away and he collapsed to the ground.
…
"How could Director Liu die?"
"Who killed him?"
In a detached villa somewhere in the bureau, Zhao Qingmian rushed over from the company and asked hurriedly.
Something happened suddenly, and Chu Bai summoned him to discuss the matter.
"The news came from the Intelligence Department . Li Meina, the secretary of Director Liu, has also disappeared. They must have died together. Only Director Liu's remains were brought back..."
Chu Bai sat on the sofa, his hands crossed on his chin, his eyes deep: "Director Liu has always been very secretive. Even I can't see through this old fox. Although I have known for a long time that he is in the second state, I suspect that he may have reached the limit of the second state. Even if not, he still has extremely powerful strength."
"It would be impossible to kill him without three or five people, unless it was an ambush!"
"Is it confirmed that the wreckage belongs to Director Liu?" Zhao Qingmian asked hurriedly. He had been following Chu Bai and carrying out missions in the bureau for many years, and he had some understanding of Director Liu. The latter always gave him a plain, yet unfathomable feeling, which made people feel fearful.
"I saw it with my own eyes, it is true."
Chu Bai's eyes were gloomy. "He died miserably. His internal organs were emptied out. Only his limbs and head were barely intact."
"Did you encounter Xu?" Zhao Qingmian's face changed slightly. He was the director of the Xu Secret Bureau, who was specifically responsible for managing Xu beast incidents in various parts of the Black Light District. But he was hunted by Xu?
This is somewhat ironic.
"It looks like it is, and it is very likely... an A-level ruin!"
Chu Bai said in a low voice, "If it was just a B-level ruins, Director Liu would not have had no chance to escape. I don't believe that as the director, he doesn't have ruins soldiers to save his life. Even if he doesn't, he can at least create some noise. But from what I heard from the Intelligence Department, there was no big noise at the place where Director Liu died. It is still under investigation. I also sent people to investigate secretly, but there was no result."
Zhao Qingmian's heart sank.
It is indeed impossible to have a B-level Ruin, unless there are several of them, but a B-level Ruin basically belongs to the lord level, and they are almost never seen moving in groups. They all have their own territories and have a strong sense of territory.
Usually, B-level maggots rarely wander around unless all the food near their nests is eaten up.
"So, there's an A-level urn wandering around in our Black Light District?"
Zhao Qingmian felt uneasy. The A-level ruins would wander around everywhere, and it might even be right next to them at this moment.
Moreover, Xu will prey on delicious food.
To Xu, the more powerful a creature's Xu power is, the more delicious the food is.
This is full of ruins and powerful humans.
The reason why Director Liu was attacked by the A-level Xu was probably because the Xu was hungry and was attracted by the vigorous Xu power hidden in Director Liu's body.
"Is there anything else?" Zhao Qingmian saw that Chu Bai didn't answer. As an old friend who had fought with him for a long time, he immediately realized that Chu Bai had other things on his mind.
“I don’t know.”
Chu Bai said in a deep voice: "The cause of Chief Liu's death should be A-level ruins, but after his death, the reaction of the bureau was a bit strange, as if they knew it in advance."
Zhao Qingmian was slightly startled and asked, "Are you suspecting that someone in the bureau is plotting against Director Liu?"
"Everyone wants to be the director, but who knows..."
Zhao Qingmian was silent. It was true. It was tempting.
"Now that Director Liu is dead, this is also an opportunity for us." Zhao Qingmian suddenly looked at Chu Bai: "You are in charge of our Black Light District and are the most powerful person in the bureau. Now Director Liu has died unexpectedly. I think you can recommend yourself to the Snow Palace and apply to be the director. In this way, with the cover of the Ruins Secret Bureau, the development of our company will definitely catch up with other forces quickly in the future and monopolize the economic lifeline of the Black Light District!"
When he said this, his eyes lit up.
Chu Bai nodded slightly: "I have already sent someone to take action, but I can't recommend myself. I need someone to recommend me. Otherwise, I will be suspected."
Zhao Qingmian slapped his head and said, "You should be more cautious."
suddenly.
Chu Bai’s communicator rang.
Zhao Qingmian's eyes moved slightly, he lowered his head slightly and was about to walk out of the room.
"No need." Chu Bai tried to keep him, then answered the call, and a piece of information came through the communicator.
Chu Bai narrowed his eyes when he heard this.
Zhao Qingmian also stood there, waiting for the person inside to finish speaking and then hang up the phone.
"Have you found out the cause of Director Liu's death?" Zhao Qingmian was somewhat surprised and asked, "Is the information reliable?"
"The little Li who came to our team before and was saved by me during a mission."
Chu Bai did not shy away from Zhao Qingmian and said, "Later, seeing that he was thoughtful, I transferred him out of our team and asked him to work in the Intelligence Department. Now he is the head of the Intelligence Department."
Zhao Qingmian was slightly startled and looked at Chu Bai with some surprise.
He still remembered this incident, but at that time, Xiao Li seemed to have been kicked out of the team because of Chu Bai's reprimand and was punished. Unexpectedly, this was actually a move made by Chu Bai in advance?
Even he didn't know the inside story of this matter. For a moment, Zhao Qingmian admired the man in front of him even more, and felt that he had made the right decision to leave Team 1 and turn to follow Chu Bai.
"Let's go over there." Chu Bai stood up and said.
"Okay." Zhao Qingmian was ready to leave immediately.
"Wait." Chu Bai stopped, turned and went to another room.
Not long after, Chu Bai walked out fully armed.
Zhao Qingmian looked at him puzzledly.
"It's always better to be cautious." Chu Bai said.
