Chapter 67 Luo Jiahao Appears
"Boy! If you were born a dozen years earlier, I, Xin Tong, would definitely become your sworn brother! But, alas! One misstep will lead to eternal regret!"
As he said this, Xin Tong closed his eyes in some pain.
"Instructor Xin! It's not too late to leave now! As the saying goes, the sea of suffering is boundless, it's better to turn back!" Li Weiyi persuaded again.
"I understand the truth, but it's too late!" Xin Tong laughed and shook his head, "After joining the Shadow, how can you just leave it whenever you want?"
"Then Instructor Xin, can you bear to watch the 'Shadow Force' consume our human strength? What if the beast tide comes again? Not a C-level beast tide, but a B-level or even A-level beast tide? How can we resist when our strength is weakened?" Li Weiyi continued to persuade. He really didn't want the Practitioner Association to lose an instructor and humanity to lose another Qi realm powerhouse.
"Once I enter 'Shadow', I am no longer myself! Then how can I get out of it? The power of 'Shadow' is beyond your imagination! Otherwise, how can we challenge the three major forces? I can't avoid the ubiquitous assassinations alone, and what about my family?" Xin Tong shook his head disappointedly.
Hearing Xin Tong talking about the assassination, Li Weiyi recalled what happened to him some time ago. According to Long Tian, it was people from the Alliance Government who sent people to assassinate him.
However, when Li Weiyi thought about it now, he found that there were many suspicious points in the assassination incident.
First of all, the Alliance Government, as an official force, can be said to rule the entire world. Since Li Weiyi had discovered that they were secretly researching the genes of ferocious beasts, they could have just found a reason to lock Li Weiyi up, or even secretly dealt with him. However, they did not do so, but instead sent people to assassinate Li Weiyi, and it was a serial assassination, one after another.
Secondly, since the Union Government is an official power, it can conduct research openly and honestly. There is no need to hide in underground laboratories and conduct research in secret. Wouldn't that make the Union Government, a global power, seem smaller?
Finally, there is Long Tian. Since the Alliance Government will not conduct research underground, then the negotiation between the three major forces is completely fabricated by Long Tian. Therefore, from this point of view, Long Tian is more suspicious!
Looking at Xin Tong standing aside, who was the instructor of the Southern District of the Practitioners Association but was a member of the "Shadow Force", and then thinking about Long Tian and the "Shadow Force" that was currently under strict investigation, Li Weiyi had a bold guess in his mind.
"Instructor Xin! Instructor Long is in cahoots with you, right?" Li Weiyi narrowed his eyes and looked at Xin Tong.
"Instructor Long!? Long Tian?! How did you know?!" Xin Tong looked up at Li Weiyi in surprise.
"Oh! It's true!" Li Weiyi sighed sadly.
Thinking about it , it was Long Tian who discovered me and was very kind to me, helping me a lot. It can be said that Long Tian was the guide for Li Weiyi to enter the Practitioner Association.
However, this senior whom he respected was now standing on the opposite side of him, joining the shadow forces and planning to overthrow the regime of Survival Base No. 7.
"Since you know Long Tian, it seems that you know a lot about our 'Shadow'!" Xin Tong looked at Li Weiyi in amazement.
How could Li Weiyi know anything about the shadow forces? The fact that Long Tian was a member of the shadow forces was just a bold guess by Li Weiyi.
However, Li Weiyi would not tell Xin Tong these things now. He just chuckled and passed it over. This made Xin Tong more convinced that Li Weiyi knew a lot of inside information about Shadow.
Just at this moment, Mu Tiancheng quietly poked his head out from the door of the basement stairs, looked around, and then fixed his gaze on Li Weiyi and Xin Tong.
Coincidentally, Li Weiyi caught a glimpse of Mu Tiancheng out of the corner of his eye, grinned, and hooked his finger at Mu Tiancheng.
Mu Tiancheng knew that he couldn't beat Li Weiyi, and he couldn't even beat Xin Tong, whom he was afraid of, so he could only come over obediently.
Behind Mu Tiancheng, another person came out. He looked similar to Mu Tiancheng, but he looked older than Mu Tiancheng. This person was the one that Li Weiyi had knocked out in the underground secret room.
"Is this man Mu Tiancheng's elder brother?" Li Weiyi looked at the man behind Mu Tiancheng, pointed at him and asked: "Is he your elder brother?"
"Yes! This is my elder brother Mu Tianxing!" Mu Tiancheng answered cautiously, and from time to time he glanced at Xin Tong standing beside him, looking very nervous and afraid. Obviously, in Mu Tiancheng's heart, he was more afraid of Xin Tong than Li Weiyi.
On the other hand, Mu Tiancheng's elder brother Mu Tianxing was much calmer than Mu Tiancheng. Although there was still a hint of fear between his brows, it was at least not as obvious as that shown by Mu Tiancheng.
"It seems that Xin Tong's status in 'Shadow' is not low!" Looking at the expressions of the two Mu brothers, Li Weiyi had a rough guess in his mind.
“Sir!” “Sir!”
The Mu brothers walked over and bowed to Xin Tong.
"Yeah!" Xin Tong nodded slightly and ignored the two of them.
"What are you going to do with us?" Xin Tong looked up at Li Weiyi.
After Xin Tong finished speaking, the Mu brothers also looked at Li Weiyi.
To be honest, Li Weiyi really hasn't figured out how to deal with these three people.
After thinking for a while, Li Weiyi asked, "Do you know that there is a bookstore called 'The Sea of Knowledge Book Fragrance'? The owner is Luo Jinlun, but he is from 'Shadow'?"
"Shihai Shuxiang? Luo Jinlun? I don't know him!" Xin Tong shook his head.
“We don’t know him either.” The Mu brothers looked at each other and shook their heads.
"Don't know him?" Li Weiyi was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, he understood. Dickqin did not say that Mu Tiancheng must be related to the incident in which the He brothers were implicated. He just said that it was possible.
Now that he had reached this point, the clue was suddenly cut off. Li Weiyi felt a little disappointed and didn't know what to do for a moment.
After guarding for a few days, Li Weiyi got only useless clues and his mood fell to the lowest point.
Just then, the door of the store was suddenly opened, and a team of guards rushed in and surrounded Li Weiyi and the other three.
“Swish, swish, swish…!”
A number of shining swords were revealed and pointed at Li Weiyi and his three companions.
Immediately afterwards, a middle-aged man stepped out from the crowd, walked to the opposite side of Li Weiyi, and stopped.
"I'm Luo Jiahao, the new director of the Investigation Bureau. Here's my ID!" The middle-aged man took out his ID and showed it to Li Weiyi, then quickly put it away. "Someone reported that people from 'Shadow' appeared here. Is it them?" The middle-aged man pointed to Xin Tong and the Mu brothers standing aside.
Although the middle-aged man moved quickly, Li Weiyi was still able to tell whether the certificate was genuine.
"If the certificate is genuine, then this person must be the new director that Dickqin mentioned." Li Weiyi thought to himself.
What Li Weiwei didn't notice was that when the He brothers saw the middle-aged man, Dickqin, appear, a flash of surprise flashed across their eyes.
"Director Luo! I just caught these three people, they are all from 'Shadow', and there is one over there." Li Weiyi pointed to the entrance of the underground stairs again.
However, the young man who was originally lying there had disappeared.
"Hmm? There is another person, he should have escaped to the underground secret room, Director Luo can send someone down there." Li Weiyi thought for a while and said. Li Weiyi did not see the young man escape from here, nor did he find other exits below, so he could only have woken up and then quietly ran to the underground secret room.
"Oh? There's another person?" Luo Jiahao was slightly surprised. He waved to the guards behind him, and four of them quickly rushed to the underground secret room.
After a while, the four guards came up with one person, who was the young man who was knocked unconscious by Li Weiyi before.
"Just the four of them, right?" Luo Jiahao asked kindly.
"Yes, Director Luo." Li Wei nodded.
"Alright! Take all four of them away! Return to the police station for strict interrogation!"
"Yes! Chief!"
Luo Jiahao waved his hand, and the guards picked up four people and walked out.
"Young man, you are very good!" Luo Jiahao nodded kindly.
"Thank you Director Luo for the compliment!" Li Weiyi responded with a smile.
"The new director, Luo Jiahao, looks kind and not as difficult to get along with as Dickin said." Li Weiyi thought to himself as he looked at Luo Jiahao with a kind smile on his face.
A few days ago, when Li Weiyi and Lin Bao went to Tiandu Restaurant to find Mu Tiancheng for the first time, Mu Tiancheng happened to be seeing Luo Jiahao off downstairs. However, the distance was a bit far at that time, so Li Weiyi and Lin Bao did not see clearly who Mu Tiancheng was seeing off. Therefore, Li Weiyi did not know that the person Mu Tiancheng saw off that day was Luo Jiahao, the new director of the Investigation Bureau.
"Oh, Director Luo, I have something else I would like to ask Director Luo for help with. I wonder if Director Luo ..."
Li Weiyi was interrupted by Luo Jiahao before he could finish his words.
"What are you talking about, little brother? You have arrested four members of the Shadow Group. How much burden has this relieved our Investigation Bureau? I, Luo Jiahao, cannot thank you enough! It's just a favor. Why do you still ask for help? Isn't that too polite?" Luo Jiahao said excitedly, "Little brother, tell me, what is it? As long as I can do it, I will definitely help you!"
"Um...thank you, Director Luo first." Li Weiyi thanked him first. He felt that Director Luo was not difficult to get along with, but was a little too enthusiastic.
"Director Luo, I'm actually from the Liuguang Squad. Two of our team members were mistakenly identified as members of the 'Shadow' and were locked up, so we came out to look for clues, and that's how we found this place. Director Luo, the two brothers in our team were really implicated and misunderstood. They are not members of the 'Shadow', and we can all guarantee that!"
"Oh? That's what happened!" Luo Jiahao hesitated for a moment, then spoke again: "Little brother, you have helped us so much, and I, Luo Jiahao, am not an ungrateful person. Let me do this, when I return to the bureau, I will investigate further. If the brothers in your team are really not involved in the 'Shadow' incident, then I will release them immediately! What do you think, little brother?"
"Then I'd like to thank Director Luo!" Li Weiyi thanked him again.
"Haha! Then little brother just wait for good news! At the latest, there will be a result the day after tomorrow! I, Luo, will take my leave first! Haha!" Luo Jiahao said with a smile, waved to Li Weiyi, and left under the protection of the guards.
