"You piece of shit, you can’t get a damn thing right in personnel matters, but when it comes to being a fucking nuisance, you’re a grandmaster!" Lin Wurou cursed outright.
Shang Xiaoyi and Wang Shi were also ready to trade blows with the Garrison Corps—the atmosphere suddenly became tense and hostile.
Yin Shuang suddenly spoke up: frёeweɓηovel.coɱ
"Lin Wurou, shut up."
Just as Lin Wurou was about to go Gatling mode, suddenly his barrel was jammed.
Yin Shuang said coldly:
"Ding Tai Sheng, to avoid any delay with the injury, I’m entrusting Bai Wu to you, but remember, with so many witnesses here, if anything happens to Bai Wu or it interferes with the case, and the higher-ups blame you, not even your wife could save you."
Ding Tai Sheng’s face changed, and he snapped:
"What do you mean by that, Yin? I became the leader of the Garrison Corps through my own capability."
Lin Wurou, instead of cursing, smiled broadly and said:
"Now I get it, your wife must’ve fallen for your sense of humor."
Knowing he couldn’t out-argue Lin Wurou, Ding Tai Sheng gritted his teeth and ordered:
"Take him away!"
The Garrison Corps and the hospital staff quickly took Bai Wu away, and the Investigation Corps didn’t stop them at Yin Shuang’s indication.
Soon the commotion outside the hospital settled down, and Lin Wurou and his group prepared to return to the Legion subdivision on the second level.
On their way, Shang Xiaoyi timidly asked:
"Sister Shuang, why did we hand him over... It feels like we’re backing down. Plus, it’s clear that they want to extract the details of the case from Bai Wu’s mouth, right?"
Yin Shuang, not one for talking, ignored Shang Xiaoyi altogether.
But Lin Wurou, usually sharp-tongued, uncharacteristically spoke kindly:
"If the interrogation team couldn’t pry his mouth open, do you really think that bald buffoon Ding Tai Sheng can manage it? Besides, the guy’s badly hurt, yet his first move was to report to the captain on his mission. He must’ve already passed the key information to the captain. And the Garrison Corps, eager to dig out the information, will definitely find a way to heal him as quickly as possible."
Lin Wurou had quickly realized the pros and cons—the reason why Yin Shuang had suddenly blocked his Gatling: handing Bai Wu over to the Garrison Corps was all gain and no loss for them.
Yin Shuang was slightly surprised. Although Lin Wurou kept calling him "that kid," it seemed as though he had quite the acknowledgment for Bai Wu.
To think that when they had first joined the Vanguard Group, they were mocked for months.
And Bai Wu had only been here for how long?
Wang Shi also nodded and said:
"Bai Wu is a real man. I now admit he’s got what it takes to join our Vanguard Group, heh, even if his bones are shattered to bits, he can stay silent and keep a straight face. Reminds me of my younger self! Haha, I like him!"
"And the kid’s got a sharp eye. Most likely, the case is cracked because of him. Since he said there were clues, it means there definitely are. The Garrison Corps is probably working on two fronts now: one, tailing the captain, and two, interrogating Bai Wu." Lin Wurou proudly showcased his own reasoning.
"Why do I get the feeling you’ve gotten smarter, it’s really not something I’m used to," said Yin Shuang.
Before Bai Wu’s arrival, it had always been Yin Shuang who did the thinking. This time Lin, quite proudly, snorted:
"After all, I’m one of the four people specifically appointed by the captain to handle this case, not like you pigheads."

High Tower, third level, elevator entrance.
Upon hearing the news of Wu Jiu’s return, Ming Che immediately dispatched people to stand guard there.
He had already got a clear picture of the situation from Ding Tai Sheng’s reports of the earlier events.
Bai Wu must have truly found a clue about Miss Yan Jiu in the purple zone.
He dared not delve deeper into his thoughts, but the case still needed to be solved.
When he saw Wu Jiu and Liu Mu come up alone, Ming Che probably had a hunch. freewēbnoveℓ.com
Bai Wu ultimately still gave the intel to Wu Jiu.
"Captain Liu, Captain Gu, long time no see."
At the entrance to the third-floor elevator, Ming Che stood with six elite soldiers of the fourth tier of Innate Force, one master of the fifth tier of Innate Force, and more than ten veterans of the third tier.
He had already calculated his moves, dispatching Ding Tai Sheng at the first opportunity to intercept Bai Wu and confirm the progress of the case. He also prepared for the worst, keeping a close eye on Wu Jiu.
But he didn’t expect Liu Mu to be there as well.
"Both the sword and shield of the Investigation Corps are present, it seems the person who kidnapped Miss Yan Jiu is a superior adversary?"
Ming Che’s smile was comforting, and he had a way with words:
"Captain Gu really is daring with exceptional skills, to return from the purple zone, a feat more convincing than any decoration of honor. I suppose Captain Gu already knows the whereabouts of Miss Yan Jiu?"
Wu Jiu looked at the crowd behind Ming Che with displeasure.
The life-and-death crisis had been weathered by him and Bai Wu alone, yet when it came to solving the case, the Garrison Corps wanted to swoop in.
Especially since beforehand, Bai Wu had told Ming Che everything they had found and even invited him to join, but Ming Che, fearing death, had refused.
Wu Jiu’s eyelids drooped slightly:
"You can’t stop me."
"It seems Brother Bai really has solved the case. I truly admire Captain Gu, for having such plentiful talents at your disposal."
Ming Che had the demeanor of a gentleman, aside from his fondness for married women and differing standpoints, it was hard to fault him greatly.
At this moment, he still aimed to make a final effort to turn things around:
"I indeed can’t stop Captain Gu, especially with Captain Liu here. Even if I summoned half of the Garrison Corps’ experts, it would be no match for the two of you."
"Moreover, this case, after all, was cracked by Captain Gu venturing into the purple zone, risking life and limb. As the responsible officer, I am thoroughly convinced by my defeat, but I have a request."
Wu Jiu hadn’t expected Ming Che, as a Deputy Chief of the numerous Garrison Corps commanders, to take such a humble stance.
"Go ahead."
"If you two are together, that proves my assumption is not wrong, the person who kidnapped Miss Yan Jiu must be a formidable opponent. Please, take these people with you. They are the elite forces of my third team, and they could at least be somewhat helpful."
Liu Mu and Wu Jiu were not fools.
Ming Che’s tactic was to retreat in order to advance, bringing a group of experts. If they could sneak an advantage, that would naturally be best. But if they couldn’t wrest the target from Wu Jiu’s hands, they could still mention in the case report the collaboration with the Investigation Corps in finding Miss Yan Jiu.
In this way, although the wise would know the Garrison Corps had lost, they could at least save some face.
And with such a reasonable request, it really wasn’t easy for Wu Jiu to refuse.
Recalling what Bai Wu had said before losing consciousness, Wu Jiu also felt that he might encounter a formidable opponent.
Now Bai Wu’s judgment seemed to Wu Jiu as precise as a prophecy.
"If there’s danger, I might not be able to take care of them," Wu Jiu kindly warned.
Ming Che laughed freely:
"They are the elite of my Garrison Corps, highly skilled. Even if the bandits are formidable, they can handle it and won’t hinder the two of you."
In his heart, Ming Che disagreed. Among those he had brought was even a fifth-tier master, which equated to the strength of a deputy commander.
Additionally, with Wu Jiu and Liu Mu both in action, and the sword and shield of the Investigation Corps present, what danger could they possibly encounter?
