Zhao Yu stared at the new hexagram with his eyes open wide. Maybe he was too tired or had expected this to come in another way, but he didn’t give a very dramatic response.

He blinked his eyes to confirm the magnificent Kun Qian on the system interface again. Zhao Yu smacked his lips hard and inhaled cool air.

I now know why you didn’t give me a hexagram yesterday! You are preparing for this big surprise for me! Zhao Yu was excited.

Once upon a time, he had imagined what it would be like if one day he would open a Qian Kun, which was a combined hexagram in which Kun referred to a big event that was going to happen. Zhao Yu never expected a Kun Qian to appear instead of a Qian Kun.

He thought, Why did Kun came in front of Qian? Would it be better than Qian Kun or worse?

Regardless, a Kun Qian was beyond his anticipation. He didn’t look forward to anything more surprising to happen. A Kun alone was a big thing. With the additional effect of Qian, a super big event was going to happen.

It seemed to Zhao Yu that his trip to Yaoming was bound to be a dangerous adventure. But, he was only going to Yaoming to interrogate Jiang Ke. What could happen during the investigation?

Zhao Yu took a deep breath. He suddenly felt gloomy about the upcoming days. He thought, Does this mean that Jiang Ke is going to escape from the prison? But, that seems unlikely.

Zhao Yu shook his head. Even though Jiang Ke was smart and had powerful connections, he couldn’t possibly escape from a heavily guarded prison designed for serious law offenders like him.

He then thought of another possibility. What if someone helps him? But, that seems even more impossible! This is not Mission: Impossible or an action film shooting. Who dares to take such a great risk? But...

Zhao Yu suddenly recalled Jiang Ke’s words. He said he preferred using his brain to play a game as opposed to using physical force. Zhao Yu wondered if he was planning something in secret. But, Jiang Ke was kept alone, and no one else had access to him except the prison guard and task force. Even if someone wanted to help him, it would nearly impossible for Jiang Ke to get in touch with them. As long as he couldn’t communicate with them, what could he do?

Fake illness? Fake death? Zhao Yu couldn’t help but think about any possible way that Jiang Ke might use to escape from prison. Although he denied his guesses, to be careful, Zhao Yu took out his phone and contacted Wang Can at Yaoming to ask about Jiang Ke’s latest situation.

Thanks to Zhao Yu, who arrested Jiang Ke and cracked the Devil Case, Wang Can had become famous in the Yaoming Police Station even though he had not been promoted yet.

After learning that Zhao Yu would return to Yaoming, the leaders there assigned Wang Can to arrange for Zhao Yu’s reception and interrogation of Jiang Ke.

Wang Can knew that his popularity was all because of Zhao Yu. If it had not been for him, he would still be a policeman that no one would care about.

Although it was late at night, Wang Can actively reported to Zhao Yu about Jiang Ke’s latest situation. He told him that nothing special had happened lately, but Jiang Ke was indeed a cunning criminal.

During several days of interrogation, he confessed to many previous cases, gave the names of accomplices, and provided several locations where his people hid. When the police went to those places to look for his accomplices, they found nobody there. The police were able to catch several of his men, but none of them were not involved in major cases.

When the police asked him about his accomplices’ whereabouts, Jiang Ke could always find a perfect explanation. He said that his colleagues must have fled ahead of time after they got the news that he was arrested.

Zhao Yu nodded frequently as he listened to Wang Can’s report. As Jiang Ke said, he kept his promise to Zhao Yu, but what he confessed wouldn’t really threaten the foundation of his robbery gang.

Wang Can had changed the way he called Zhao Yu after he benefited from his success. He now called him “Mentor,” which sounded more personal.

“Mentor, I asked the prison guards,” he said. “They told me that Jiang Ke had no abnormal behavior, no physical disease, and no special application recently. Every day, he just eats, drinks, and sleeps. The exception was that he was taken to different interrogations.”

Zhao Yu thought, The more normal he seems to be, the more abnormal he is!

“Tell the prison guards that during this time particularly, we must have more people prepared for anything that may happen,” he said. “We mustn’t let Jiang Ke escape. Also, we must prevent him from being assassinated. Pay attention to his food, drinking water, and so on. Be careful that no one puts drugs in his food or drinks!”

“Please be rest assured that his food and drink are tested every day,” Wang Can said. “In order to prevent him from committing suicide, we have arranged for two officers to monitor him so that everything remains under our control! But, Mentor, you’re so nervous. Is there another serious case involving Jiang Ke?”

Zhao Yu smiled with relief. “Boy... You are smart! There are some important cases. After we meet, I’ll tell you about them in detail. Remember what I said just now. You must make sure that there is no problem with him!”

Wang Can promised that he would.

After hanging up the phone, Zhao Yu felt a little more secure. Regardless of the hexagram, and as long as Jiang Ke wouldn’t make any trouble for him, he could continue to investigate the case.

He thought about the Ziliu case and Leader Wu’s death. After a while, he finally got sleepy and took a nap in his chair.

The plane landed smoothly at Yaoming Airport soon. Zhao Yu and his two bodyguards had just arrived at the airport when he saw Wang Can and other officers who had come to pick them up.

Wang Can was happy to see Zhao Yu again. He asked Zhao Yu warmly about his well-being along the way. When the sun rose above the horizon, they had finally arrived at Yaoming’s No.1 Detention Center, where Jiang Ke was kept.

A provincial task force was responsible for Jiang Ke’s case. For various reasons, the Yaoming Police Station hadn’t transferred Jiang Ke to the capital of Tongjiang for trial. Instead, they kept him in Yaoming.

Yaoming boasted a developed economy and convenient transportation. Its conditions were even better than Tongjiang’s capital, so the Yaoming police thought it was better to keep Jiang Ke there.

Zhao Yu had been to Yaoming once because of Han Kuan’s case. He had also arrested Han Kuan there, so Yaoming wasn’t a strange place to him.

Wang Can suggested Zhao Yu have some local snacks first, but Zhao Yu was concerned about the Kun Qian hexagram. In order to reduce the risk, he had the car go directly to the detention center.

The high walls on the center’s four sides acted as barriers for the detention house. The center also had armed police on guard 24/7. Because of Jiang Ke, the number of guards was increased. Snipers were also onsite. Outside the detention center, the provincial criminal police spread a dragnet from which there was no escape.

Wang Can said that in order to avoid any spy going into the detention center, the Provincial Office had sent in a group of secret supervisors to keep an eye on each prison guard.

After hearing what Wang Can said, Zhao Yu felt his burden get lifted a bit. He wondered what Jiang Ke could do in such a situation.

The entrance of the detention center was explosion proof. After several identity verifications, Zhao Yu finally entered the detention center yard.

Zhao Yu’s big name and high rank aroused great attention when the news of his visit came to the local police station. The leaders of the detention center were all waiting for him in the hall. Seeing him arrive, the leaders gave him a warm welcome.

Although Zhao Yu was not into that kind of social event, he had a seemingly nice talk with them. Since he needed their help, he needed to repay them with equal etiquette to make them feel good. Not long after the welcoming ceremony, he said that the time was pressing for the case investigation.

The prison guards took him to the interrogation room designed for serious law offenders. This was the second time he had been there because of Jiang Ke.
