Chapter 587: Chapter 502: Xiu Sect_4

"Someone reported an emergency, the caller was a business associate of Boss Wu, and he said Boss Wu called him in a panic in the middle of the night. He said there were ghosts in his house, he couldn’t get through to the emergency services, and he was too scared to leave his home. Moreover, he mentioned the ghost was right downstairs in his house."

After finishing, Qu Muzhi stressed, "We traced this call and also checked the victim’s friend, and there is no problem with him."

"Right, Boss Zhao, that’s my friend," Yang Xiao expressed his concern for Zhao’s safety, realizing that the situation was more complex than he had anticipated. Li Qingxuan alone might not be enough; he hoped that neither of them would be drawn into this mess. ƒree𝑤ebnσvel.com

Hearing this, Qu Muzhi reassured him, saying that upon receiving the news, Nalan Shuo had already arranged for someone to protect Boss Zhao, and he is now very safe.

"Captain Yang, I must say, you have a good reputation." Qu Muzhi showed a relaxed smile, leaned back in his chair, and said, "From yesterday to now, the phones in Chief Huang’s office have almost been blown up, with calls from Director Nalan, President Chi from the Chamber of Commerce, and the new vice-chairman of the Apostles Union, one after another. Professor Cui from the Provincial Office also stood up for you, heavily criticizing the City Center Official Residence for creating opposition and persecution, claiming they tried to nip a good, public-spirited captain like you in the bud. If we don’t give an explanation, he’s willing to pay out of his pocket to report us to the headquarters."

Slowly shaking his head, Yang Xiao straightened up and said solemnly, "Director Nalan often teaches us that in our positions, we must pursue appropriate policies; the righteous path of humanity is ever-changing."

"Well said. Our Chief Huang also often educates us to treat people with sincerity. It’s all family matters, no matter how fierce the infighting gets. It should be settled behind closed doors, and not be exposed to outsiders for mockery. But if outsiders dare to trouble us, we should set aside past grievances, unite against external threats, and uphold the honor of the Patrol Defense Office," Qu Muzhi replied. freёwebnoѵel.com

Without making a sound, both of them had praised their leaders a bit; Yang Xiao knew there were cameras in the room, and Qu Muzhi’s words would soon reach Huang Guozhao. It seemed that Captain Qu, the Demon Rakshasa, was not as out of touch with the world as the rumors suggested.

As Qu Muzhi stood up to leave, resolving the doubts in his mind, he said, "Captain Yang, take a rest. You’ll have to stay here a little longer. Just let us know if you need anything. We’ll try to accommodate your needs. We want to lull the opponent into complacency until the timing is right, then we will capture them all at once!"

"Then I shall wait here for the good news from Captain Qu," Yang Xiao stood up, making a gesture to see him out.

After seeing Qu Muzhi off, Yang Xiao also let out a slight sigh of relief. He knew Qu Muzhi’s capabilities; those Cultivators had shot themselves in the foot by crossing paths with him. Captain Qu was famously resolute in his approach to Cultivators; unless necessary, he almost never left any survivors. Yang Xiao had previously tried to inquire from Beibei, but even Beibei wasn’t very clear, only mentioning it seemed to be related to Captain Qu’s experiences, as he too was an orphan.

Initially prepared to patiently stay a little longer, Yang Xiao found Qu Muzhi’s efficiency exceeded his expectations. On the third night after his departure, Qu Muzhi reappeared, informing him that the operation had ended an hour ago. Unfortunately, the opponent was cunning, and his team had missed them. However, they had confirmed the identity of the opponent as members of the Evil Cult of Resentment.

"The Resentment Sect?" Yang Xiao frowned.

"Yes, people from the Xiu Sect within the Resentment Sect, led by someone very high-ranking," Qu Muzhi said seriously, "Captain Yang, they are targeting you, please be extremely cautious from now on."
