Chapter 172 - Return To the Capital (4)

The sky gradually brightened.

The surroundings of the hotel ruins were covered with a police cordon.

The reporters who had rushed over after hearing the news were all blocked outside and could only circle around to take pictures.

Inside the police cordon.

After hearing Chen Yu’s narration from the beginning to the end, Officer Wang closed his notebook and nodded. “I already know the general situation. It’s really hard to imagine that an ordinary person without any strength could actually kill so many martial artists.”

“That hotel owner has gone too far.” Chen Yu let out a sigh. “According to my observation, there are many similar people. Clean up the ruins of houses and check the basement. You should find something.”

“Hmm. We’ve already gathered the construction vehicles.”

“It’s just a small hotel. It could not kill too many people in one year.” Zhang Tie said, “Because if it happened too fast, it would arouse the attention of the police.”

After hearing Zhang Tie’s words, everybody became silent.

Everybody understood Zhang Tie’s hidden meaning.

However, nobody wanted to say it out loud.

It was too terrifying…

Bang!

“Fair Association…” Officer Wang gritted his teeth as he punched the base of the street lamp.

“What’s Fair Association?” Bahuang Yao asked.

Chen Yu raised his eyebrows. “Don’t you know about Fair Association?”

“I don’t know…”

“Then when we return to the capital, I’ll tell you about it.” Standing up, Chen Yu stretched his body. “The statement is over, right? Can we go now?”

“Of course, anytime.” Officer Wang came back to his senses and nodded. He extended his hand and shook Chen Yu’s hand. “Student Chen Yu, I’m really grateful for your help. You actually solved such a big problem for us.”

“Since we have a direction, the rest will be easy to do.”

“Yes. When we go back, we will shift the investigation direction to the ordinary people. Although the number is huge, we can overcome it.”

“There is a problem that I can’t figure out.” Duan Ye interjected. “Why are the targets of their attacks all foreign lone martial artists?”

“Because it’s safe.” Officer Chen Yuxian explained, “Most of the foreign martial artists are vagrants. Their travel patterns are not regular, so it’s hard to track them. Local fighters have friends, family members, and acquaintances. Once they disappear, it’s easy to find the area where they used to live.”

“Yes.” Officer Wang agreed. “Although there was no progress in the case before, the other party attacked the foreign fighters to hide themselves. This point has been recognized by the Bureau.”

“Don’t talk about it.”

Zhang Tie glanced at the time carved on his watch. “The high-speed train at 9:00 am will arrive at 8:30 am. It’s time to leave.”

“Thanks for your help once again.”

After taking a step back, Officer Wang bowed deeply. “Tang City always welcomes your return.”

Hearing this, Chen Yu suddenly thought of something as he nodded and said with a profound meaning, “I don’t know whether they will come or not, but I might come soon.”

“Ah?” Officer Wang was stunned.

“Let’s go.” Chen Yu patted the dust off his body and pulled Bahuang Yao, who was sitting on the ground. “Our bodies are too dirty. We need to find a hotel to clean ourselves.”

“Soak in the hot spring!” Duan Ye suggested with bright eyes.

“It’s too late…”

…

At 8:30 in the morning.

Chen Yu and his group arrived at the Tang City train station on time.

They passed through the security check with weapons and explosives. After waiting in the waiting hall for less than ten minutes, they sat in the high-speed train carriage.

“This mission was really exciting.” Sitting by the window, Duan Ye put down his backpack and sighed.

Chen Yu also put down his backpack and sat beside Bahuang Yao. He asked casually, “Is it the appearance of those exotic beasts?”

“No.” Duan Ye shook his head, “It’s the beauties that I saw in the nightclub. They’re really amazing.”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

“F*ck you…” Chen Yu was about to burst out, but he immediately relaxed. “You’re right. They’re really amazing.”

Bahuang Yao:”…”

“Hmm.” Zhang Tie nodded, “I’ve seen them too. Their quality is much better than the average of the Capital City. I can only say that the land and the water nourish the people.”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

Chen Yu became suspicious. “Didn’t you go to collect intelligence?”

“Yeah.” Zhang Tie grinned, “Is there a better place to collect intelligence than the nightclub?”

Duan Ye: “Great minds think alike!”

“Bullsh*t, you went to the nightclub just to look at girls.”

“I’ve also collected a lot of them!” Duan Ye was not convinced as he took out his cell phone, “I’ve collected a lot of pretty girls’ phone numbers.”

Zhang Tie: “…Give me some.”

“Call me dad.”

“You’re going to lose your academic credits…”

Chen Yu leaned back and leaned against the back of his chair. Watching Zhang Tie bickering with Duan Ye, he suddenly asked, “Brother Tie, I feel that your personality has changed. It’s completely different from yesterday and the day before yesterday.”

“Because I’m a security officer.”

Zhang Tie opened his satchel and took out a bottle of drink, “From the beginning of the mission, my duty is to be a bodyguard. What does it mean for a bodyguard to relax?”

“It means that he’s fishing.” Duan Ye raised his hand.

“It means that the person being protected will be in danger,” Bahuang Yao said.

“That’s right. Therefore, even if it’s just to fulfill my duty, I won’t relax even a bit after the mission begins.” Zhang Tie then looked at Bahuang Yao. “Besides me, you’re the most normal person in this class. Don’t be bad like them.”

“What are you thinking about? We’re all students, how bad can we be?” Chen Yu curled his lips. He took out a pack of cigarettes, picked up two cigarettes, and passed one to Bahuang Yao. “Don’t listen to his nonsense. The most important thing between teammates is tacit understanding and cooperation. How can we be great when we’re on guard against each other? Come, have a cigarette.”

Bahuang Yao: “…”

“You can’t smoke on the high-speed train! Don’t you have any manners?” Duan Ye directly grabbed two cigarettes and took out a bottle of white liquor from his pocket. He then put it on the table with a ‘bang’ sound. “Here, have this.”n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

Bahuang Yao: “…”

..

Safe journey.

Silent journey.

At 3 pm, Class 2 of grade one returned to Beijing University and went straight to the lobby on the third floor of the office building of Beijing University.

“The application task has been completed. I want everyone to take a photo with me so that the system can decide whether or not to reduce the staff.” Zhang Tie took out a document and handed it to Chen Yu. “This is the task completion certificate given by that police officer. Take Duan Ye and Bahuang Yao to take a photo.”

“What about you?”

“I’m a security officer. I have to report to the 5th floor. By the way, I want to complain about the Tang City police.”

“Okay.”

Nodding, Chen Yu took over the document and led Duan Ye and Bahuang Yao to the small area on the left side of the task release area.

After queuing for over 10 minutes, it was Class 2’s turn.

(Please put the task certificate on your chest. Members, don’t leave the camera…)

The system notification tone sounded from the machine behind the counter.

Chen Yu and the other two immediately adjusted their positions according to the instructions.

Kacha!

The flash light lit up and then went out. The sound of a broadcast immediately sounded from the small speaker.

[Confirmed completion — A-Rank mission]

[A-Rank mission…]

[Mission…]

[…]

“…”

Along with the weak echo of the broadcast, ‘silence’ quickly spread like a plague.

The originally noisy hall was surrounded by layers of silence with Chen Yu and the other two as the center.

Regardless of whether it was the first, second, third, or fourth grade students, their gazes were all focused on them.

Shua shua shua shua shua shua…
