Chapter 384 The head of the Li family died suddenly.
After the exploration vessel sailed into the giant steel gate standing on the sea, Li Jie stretched his slightly sore legs and stood up.
“I’ll go back to the capital first. You don’t need to rush, just rest well. Although we didn’t find the Ark of the Covenant, this trip wasn’t a complete waste.”
"Yes...we are indeed very tired..."
"Yeah... I slept so much my bones are sore..."
Baili Pangpang yawned, rubbed his sleepy eyes, and rolled off the makeshift bed.
"You know what, you really do know, I don't know why, but lately I've been feeling sleepy all the time..."
Hearing this, Li Jie was slightly taken aback, then took a deep look at the chubby boy who was frantically gulping down water, and turned to leave the cabin.
"Brother, what about the battle report?"
"I'll go back and talk to Commander Zuo. You can take your time and there's no need to rush."
"it is good."
Before the exploration ship had even fully docked, Li Jie had already transformed into a streak of sword light and sped off towards the capital city.
At Port 003 of Shenlong Pass, the Master, who had just stepped off the antique carriage, saw the sword light flashing in mid-air and muttered a dissatisfied remark.
"Why is this kid in such a hurry...?"
........
The Night's Watch headquarters, the office of the Supreme Commander.
"That's roughly the situation. This trip wasn't entirely fruitless."
After listening to Li Jie's story with a stunned expression, Zuo Qing couldn't help but chuckle bitterly.
Big brother.......
How much benefit do you need to be satisfied?
Although this trip to the Mist did not yield the Ark of the Covenant that Michael and the Celestial Venerable had agreed upon.
However, they obtained what seemed to be the more important 'source of hell'.
Judging from Li Jie's nonchalant description...
When Shen Qingzhu of [Nightfall] wakes up, he will be the third person in the world to ascend to godhood in one step while still in human form.
In addition, they also found traces of Zhou Ping. Although they did not see him in person, it at least proved that he was still alive and doing well.
Pulling himself back to his senses, Zuo Qing took a deep breath and spoke calmly.
"Hmm...not bad, you've worked hard these past few days, go back and get some rest."
"By the way, Assistant Xian is still waiting for you at the Special Operations Department's base."
"it is good."
Just as Li Jie was about to turn and leave, a night watchman knocked on the door and came in.
"Commander Zuo, in Linjiang City... Director Li? You're back?"
"you know me?"
Upon hearing this, Li Jie paused, looking at the unfamiliar office worker with some confusion.
"Um, I've seen your photo."
"I see. Then you can continue your report."
"Ah... okay... you're busy, where were we?"
Upon hearing this, Zuo Qing's expression also turned cold.
I think it's necessary to get a new batch of assistants...
What kind of level is this?!
"Ah, I remember now! Commander Zuo, a report from Linjiang City states that the head of the Li Group, a pillar industry in the city, suddenly died yesterday."
According to the local team's report, unusual energy fluctuations have been observed near the Li residence, which strongly suggests that the perpetrators are individuals with superpowers residing in forbidden realms.
"Do you think headquarters should send someone over to provide support? The current team leader in Linjiang City is a newcomer who just took office two years ago and is not very familiar with all aspects."
"Because there have been virtually no mysterious incidents in Linjiang City, its defenses are not very strong, so..."
"Don't tell me."
Zuo Qing lowered his head and waved his hand listlessly.
"Isn't the head of the Special Operations Unit standing next to you?"
"Why don't you just ask him for help with this kind of thing?"
Upon hearing this, the office staff member's eyes lit up, and he turned around and handed the battle report in his hand to Li Jie.
Then, to Li Jie's astonishment, he gracefully bowed, shouted "Thank you for your help," and left the office.
"Commander Zuo..."
"Um......"
"We won't do... Shall we get a different group?"
"I'll call HR right now..."
"Has the head of human resources been changed?"
"not yet......."
"So you want Lao Shao, who's three or four thousand kilometers away, to come back and replace some of your assistants?"
"...I've been so busy lately, I completely forgot about it..."
Upon hearing this, Li Jie turned around helplessly, gave Zuo Qing a look that said "good luck," and then walked out with the materials in his hand.
After returning to his base, Li Jie quickly reviewed the battle reports and learned the real culprit behind the incident.
That's right, the one who killed the head of the Li Group was none other than Wu Quan, the current owner of the "Dominating Emperor".
With this thought in mind, he knew who should handle this matter.
.........
Shenlongguan Military Airport.
After finally declining the master's invitation, Lin Qiye and the others boarded a private plane bound for Shangjing City.
"Now I finally understand why Brother Li left first..."
"Master...you're so hospitable..."
"Sigh... It's good tea, but it can't withstand drinking like this... It's only been a short time, and I've already gone to the bathroom twice..."
“Who says it’s not…?”
"You fatso, don't even mention tea. Just thinking about it makes me want to throw up..."
"........"
Just after everyone disembarked from the ship, the enthusiastic Master took them to the conference room to enjoy his Kung Fu tea, ostensibly as a reward for the warriors who had returned from the mist.
But in reality... Confucius was just using them as experimental subjects.
At first, Lin Qiye and the others didn't think anything was wrong and happily drank one cup after another.
But it wasn't until half an hour later that they realized... it seemed the Master had no intention of stopping at all, and was just smilingly walking around the crowd with the teapot in his arms.
Fortunately, Lin, who couldn't hold on any longer, made up an excuse to go back to the capital to report on his work.
Otherwise, the teacher, in high spirits, would lead them into his inner world to savor his treasures.
"They meant well..."
"Yes... thankfully Qi Ye was quick-witted; if he had really been pulled into the Master's 'mental realm,' he would have been a sitting duck..."
At this point, everyone sighed in unison, then hugged their round bellies and leaned back in their seats.
Ring ring!
The urgent ringing of the phone startled Lin Qiye. He hurriedly got up, took out his phone from his pocket, and almost dropped it.
He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the caller ID.
Thank goodness it was Brother Li...
"Hey bro... Okay, I got it. Shall we set off now?"
"Okay, then wait for my message."
After hanging up, he quickly stood up, walked to the driver's seat, and gently patted the driver who was starting the engine.
"Brother, we've got a job. Can you take us... to Linjiang City?"
