Chapter 318: [252] VIP Coming! (Thanks to Brother TanJc for the reward and support)_1
 

“Master, Madam Sun… is dead.”

A hush fell over the entire Jiang family’s back mountain.

The middle-aged butler was attending to the old master with great care.

From beginning to end, Jinye had acted according to Jiang Qingcang’s temperament, without a single slip-up.

The death of Madam Sun would naturally cause many people to shift their attention to Jiang Suhu…

All this time, Jinye had maintained a low profile in controlling the Jiang family’s affairs, but how could everything always go as desired in this world?

Early morning.

As Jinye was engrossed in weaving the story that would follow, the middle-aged butler handed him a cup of tea at the perfect temperature, seemingly to console the “old man” who everyone thought was seething with anger.

Jinye looked up unhurriedly, “How is the investigation coming along?”

The middle-aged butler bowed deeply, “The people under me haven’t found any clues. Young Master Xin Cheng has now personally gone there… In addition, the Night Patrol Department has already initiated an inquiry into the case, and currently, no clues have leaked out.”

Jinye simply nodded with a stern face, saying nothing more.

After finishing the medicinal meal in front of him,

He stood up and said, “List all possible suspects… and investigate who she has been in contact with recently. Once I finish my retreat, I will naturally come to find you.”

“Yes, Master.”

While speaking,

The Confidential Clerk standing at the door to report the news did not dare take half a step into the room without permission.

The middle-aged butler relayed the message: “The Vice President has arrived, saying he is worried about your health…”

Without waiting for him to finish,

Jinye interrupted sternly, “Tell him not to think about unnecessary things and to manage the company well.”

“Yes.”

The middle-aged butler bowed to see him out.

…..

…..

…..

“Respected Jinye, you have been absent for 6 hours and 37 minutes… Are you in trouble?”

As soon as he put on his bracelet, the voice of Xing Tian sounded promptly.

“No,” Jinye replied calmly.

“You can continue to wear the bracelet, and I’ll monitor your safety issues all the time to ensure immediate rescue,” Xing Tian suggested.

“I refuse,” Jinye’s succinctness did not make Xing Tian feel uncomfortable, on the contrary, it kept asking, “Do you have any suggestions?”

“I’m not used to being monitored 24/7,” Jinye replied at his usual pace.

“Respected Jinye, my existence is not to monitor but to ensure your safety; according to the intelligence brain security protocol, I have no reason to implement any surveillance on you…” came Xing Tian’s mechanical voice.

But Jinye was unmoved, “Thank you, but I think I need time to get used to your presence.”

“Of course, respected Jinye,” Xing Tian replied, “If you have any issues, you can instruct me at any time.”

No sooner had he finished,

Than Xing Tian suddenly reported, “Respected Jinye, I have just received news that the Investigation Team will start this month’s regular meeting at nine o’clock this morning, presided over by Ms. Xu Jing, the Vice Leader of the Investigation Team.”

“Xu Jing?” Jinye asked casually, “Is there a monthly meeting every month?”

“Yes.”

During his unremarkable conversation with Xing Tian, Jinye’s figure had already appeared inside the Investigation Team’s Base.

Before he could see Brother Bi, Gu Wutong, brimming with excitement, approached him first, “Big news! Something big happened in Da Peng City.”

“What big news?” Jinye casually inquired, glancing around and not seeing Brother Bi—who should have been there at this time.

“Elder Jiang’s daughter-in-law was whacked last night!” Gu Wutong said with a mysterious air.

If Jinye hadn’t known what had happened, combined with the smug smile on Gu Wutong’s face, it would have been hard not to let one’s thoughts wander.

“What do you mean by whacked?” he pretentiously asked.

“Taken out… Someone actually targeted the Jiang Family Second House. It’s said that many people in Da Peng City are trying their best to catch the killer and curry favor with the old man,” Gu Wutong said with a tsk of wonder.

“That old man is so famous?” Jinye feigned surprise.

Gu Wutong mused, “Well, although the Jiang family isn’t in the top ranks across Central State, they are still the emperor of Da Peng City, and many of the city’s reforms were influenced by the elder… It’s quite significant.”

Jinye sighed, “Da Peng City is ultimately too small.”

“Yeah, a Third Rank is considered a top-class expert among us, but wouldn’t dare to claim to be unrivaled anywhere else… Damn!” Gu Wutong suddenly exclaimed.

Jinye looked puzzled.

Gu Wutong exaggeratedly said, “I almost forgot you had a bout with Gongsun Qianfeng. Although Chief Lin dealt with him, your strength… among the younger generation in Da Peng City, you’re definitely among the elite.”

“…” Jinye was too lazy to explain further.

The two of them talked as they walked towards the conference building. As they went up the stairs, Gu Wutong curiously asked, “You went to the City Hall yesterday… and stayed all day? I was actually going to ask you out for dinner, but Secretary Lin said you were busy.”

“Busy,” Jinye sighed. “I went to Dawn City and mooched off their municipal government cafeteria… I must say, their food is luxurious.”

Gu Wutong’s mouth dropped open… Old Pei was becoming increasingly incomprehensible when talking.

Was he suggesting something that would lead them outside Central State?

He shook his head.

Thinking that it was a confidential matter, he didn’t continue the topic and switched subjects, “Wanna practice together after the meeting?”

“Sure.”

“Hahaha, wait to be knocked down by me. I feel like I’ve perfected my ‘Sticking to the mountain’ technique recently,” Gu Wutong laughed.

“Keep boasting,” Jinye retorted.

“Tch.”

Both of them walked into the meeting room and went to their respective teams.

“Jinye,” Zhou Ye grinned with a smile.

Pei Jinye said in surprise, “Brother Bi said yesterday that you’d be lying down for a few more days, why are you here?”

“Couldn’t stay put,” Zhou Ye clenched his fist. “I’m in such great shape now, I feel like I could kill a cow with my bare hands.”

Pei Jinye looked at his somewhat pale face. “You must be dreaming.”

“…”

Brother Bi arrived late. Zhou Ye gestured to him, and Brother Bi, too, looked over in surprise. “You really aren’t afraid of death, are you?”

Zhou Ye smiled with his mouth wide open.

Pei Jinye stretched out his hand and patted the white ash on Brother Bi’s shoulder.

Brother Bi turned his head to look and also patted off the dust, muttering under his breath, “Today is just too unlucky, got chased on the road, and they didn’t even catch the person…”

“Did they hit and run?” Zhou Ye asked with a smile. “To think someone could escape from you, Brother Bi, impressive.”

“Impressive my ass, it was a car with fake plates, some bastard, I’ll catch him sooner or later,” Brother Bi shook his head bitterly.

“I heard today’s meeting is chaired by Ms. Xu…” Pei Jinye said.

Zhou Ye was startled. “Damn, is it still okay if I leave now?”

Pei Jinye looked over.

Brother Bi also cursed under his breath, “I was in such a rush, I didn’t check the list. Why is it her… If I had known it was her, I would have taken a day off too.”

Pei Jinye laughed. “Why does even Brother Bi seem so scared?”

Brother Bi just shook his head with a bitter smile.

Zhou Ye said in a low voice with a laugh, “Back when Brother Bi was young, he went on a mission with her… It’s said that her Transcendent abilities are very strong, a brutal demon head that kills without batting an eye.”

Pei Jinye became interested upon hearing this.

Talking about a female superior was, of course, not something he could discuss with Xing Tian, nor did he want his search history on the brain-computer interface to get out, causing unnecessary misunderstandings.

Before long,

the chiefs of the various teams accompanied the deputy head of the Investigation Team, Xu Jing, into the conference room.

This was Pei Jinye’s first time seeing the only high-ranking female at the Investigation Team’s Base, his gaze looking over.

Xu Jing’s eyes drooped slightly and she wore a black suit.

Holding a high position in an enforcement department like the Investigation Team, she should be resolute and decisive, but Ms. Xu Jing’s facial features were surprisingly gentle.

Pei Jinye dared to say, if he met her outside, he would have definitely thought she was just an ordinary aunt, nowhere near the fierce and malevolent figure Zhou Ye had described.

Seemingly noticing Pei Jinye’s gaze, Xu Jing turned her head and even nodded.

Pei Jinye was taken aback.

But she had already withdrawn her gaze.

A short-haired woman in a black suit also followed Xu Jing, a pen tucked into her pocket, holding an electronic folder in her arms, appearing very unassuming.

The meeting passed in calmness.

It was mostly the same old talk about social security issues.

Two hours later,

the meeting finally ended.

Once the higher-ups had left, everyone began to sigh and complain.

Due to the recent spate of malignant incidents, the supervision scope was expanded, which meant an increased workload for everyone.

“The end of the year is coming, various investigations are about to start… such a headache.”

Many people shook their heads as they talked in hushed tones, slowly leaving the meeting room.

“Jinye, why aren’t you leaving?” Brother Bi and Zhou Ye looked back at him.

Pei Jinye glanced around. “Gu Wutong asked me to spar with him. Where did he go in just a short while?”

“I saw him being called away just now,” Zhou Ye said, confused.

Hearing this, Pei Jinye gave up looking. “That kid,” he muttered.

“Brother Bi, so do we have a task today?” Zhou Ye quickly asked.

“Don’t think so… Jinye, did you hear anything earlier?”

Both of them looked at Pei Jinye like students who had zoned out and missed the assignment, both clueless.

“We’ll wait for the team scheduling.”

Just as Pei Jinye finished speaking, his communicator received a notification from Lin Xiawei.

At that moment, Zhou Ye also said, “The schedule is here… Can I slack off a bit when I’m working with Xing Tian? They are way too quick.”

“You wish,” Brother Bi said irritably. “Forget our base, setting the schedule for the whole Central State is just a thought away for them.”

He said this as he swiped out the information, glanced at it, and yawned, “Alright, full day the day after tomorrow. These next couple days we can rest up nicely.”

…

The group had just left the conference building when Gu Wutong’s voice suddenly came from behind.

“Old Pei, over here.”

Pei Jinye looked back to see Gu Wutong waving enthusiastically. “Hurry, hurry, hurry, my mother wants to meet you.”

“…”

What a terrible line!

…

Three minutes later,

Pei Jinye looked at the lady in front of him with astonishment.

He hadn’t expected Gu Wutong’s mother to be the deputy head of the Investigation Team’s Base…

“I thought you were Wutong’s sister, Sister Xu Jing, please guide me a lot in the future.”
