Chapter 242 - That Seat Is Poisonous (Second Update)

[Meng Guanghui]: Ms. Xia, hello, I am Meng Guanghui, Xia Chujian's direct superior. I just saw something about Mulan City No. 1 High School on the Star Network and couldn't reach Xia Chujian. I would like to know if Xia Chujian herself was injured? Is she safe now?

Xia Yuanfang's impression of this organization and Meng Guanghui himself immediately improved greatly.

It's really rare to be concerned about the safety of one's employees at the first possible moment.

Xia Yuanfang replied immediately.

[Xia Yuanfang]: Thank you, Mr. Meng. I contacted Chujian just now, and she is fine. However, I saw the trending search on the Star Network...

[Meng Guanghui]: Don't worry about the trending search. We have already taken it down, and that GIF has also been deleted from the entire network. No one's Quantum Optical Brain or Smart Bracelet can store this GIF. Moreover, when this GIF was uploaded, it had already been processed by the Special Security Bureau's Star Network mechanical detection intelligence, and even the figure and movements were slightly modified.

[Meng Guanghui]: You don't have to worry about privacy being leaked.

Xia Yuanfang's guess was confirmed, and she breathed a sigh of relief.

[Xia Yuanfang]: Thank you, Mr. Meng. I am waiting for Chujian to come home at the school gate.

[Meng Guanghui]: If you need anything, please contact me. Our Special Security Bureau will not sit idly by when our employees face danger.

[Xia Yuanfang]: Thank you!

After finishing the call with Xia Yuanfang, Meng Guanghui sent another message to Xia Chujian.

Xia Chujian had only just gotten her Quantum Optical Brain wrist carrier back.

So many messages flooded in, and she replied to them one by one in the order they were sent to her.

Therefore, she replied to Xia Yuanfang's inquiry first, followed by San Zong, Zhu Yingying, and Aunt Chen, and then the Dark Night Hunter Association Team.

She replied to San Zong, Zhu Yingying, and Aunt Chen with only one sentence: I'm fine, I'm safe.

Ye Shijie, Song Mingqian, Li Fu, and Ping Qiong were all sending messages more anxiously than the last.

They even said that they had already driven their Flying Vehicle to the vicinity of their school.

Unfortunately, the airspace above their school was closed at the moment, so they couldn't get in, and they also asked her if she needed weapons support.

Ping Qiong praised Xia Chujian's trending GIF fiercely.

Li Fu told her that the trending search had been taken down, and all the GIFs on the internet had disappeared, so she shouldn't worry.

Ye Shijie was asking her, who else was helping her? Song Mingqian directly said that this level of large-scale ban could only be done by certain government agencies.

Xia Chujian guessed it was the Special Security Bureau, and then she caught sight of Meng Guanghui's second message of inquiry coming in, confirming her guess.

She herself didn't even know she was trending until later, and was shocked when she found out.

Now that she discovered the trending search was gone, she breathed a sigh of relief.

She didn't want to be in the limelight like this.

She also politely expressed her gratitude to Meng Guanghui for his greetings, focusing on thanking him for taking down the trending search.

Meng Guanghui then asked her if she had the gun that could bypass security checks with her.

Xia Chujian said she had it with her, and Meng Guanghui was relieved.

But he also knew that Xia Chujian didn't use that gun, but used someone else's gun.

Meng Guanghui had a clear version of that GIF.

He was very happy in his heart as he watched her smooth and flowing movements.

Two and a half months of physical training were not in vain! But he also asked her why she didn't contact the Special Security Bureau at the first possible moment?

Their Special Security Bureau was much more efficient than the Mulan City Punishment Department.

Xia Chujian had no choice but to tell him that today, for the sake of the exam, all of their students' Quantum Optical Brains and Smart Bracelets had been taken away by the teachers, so there was no way to send messages out at the first possible moment.

Meng Guanghui let it go at that.

Immediately afterward, the afternoon exam time arrived, and the teachers came to collect the Quantum Optical Brains and Smart Bracelets. Xia Chujian only had time to send Meng Guanghui one last message.

[Xia Chujian]: That psychopathic gunman said he was a Guardian of the Judge Organization, and also said that one of our classmates, Yu Wangyou, is a Saintess of the Judge Organization.

And then there was no more time to look at the Quantum Optical Brain message prompts after that.

The afternoon's exam was about to begin.

She sat in her seat, noticing the empty seat next to her again.

She couldn't help but wonder if that seat was cursed, or if it was her...

Then she clenched her fist, telling herself that the seat was definitely cursed!...

The message Xia Chujian sent to Meng Guanghui hadn't spread yet.

Only those who were at the school at the time, including students, teachers, and school leaders, had heard it firsthand.

By the time the Disciplinary Department staff and the military support arrived, Xia Chujian had already killed the Green Robe-wearing, mentally ill gunman, so they naturally didn't know about this message yet.

Of course, they would definitely find out about the whole story between the mentally ill gunman and Yu Wangyou in the subsequent investigation, but at this moment, the message Xia Chujian sent was the fastest way for the Special Security Bureau to get the information.

When Meng Guanghui saw the message, he was so shocked that he stood up from his seat.

He was about to return to the Special Security Bureau headquarters on Beichen Star in a few days, and he never expected to get such a big scoop!

He immediately sent a message to Huo Yushen.

Because he knew that Huo Yushen in the Imperial City of Beichen Star had also been purging members of the Judge Organization around the emperor recently.

This cult organization, which had long been banned and constantly suppressed, but always seemed to revive from the ashes, gave many people in the upper echelons of the Empire a headache.

At this moment, it was one o'clock in the morning on Beichen Star.

Huo Yushen, as usual, hadn't gone to sleep yet.

When his Quantum Optical Brain's notification sound rang, he glanced at it after a while.

But that one glance made him stand up abruptly and directly send a video call request to Meng Guanghui.

Meng Guanghui was in the middle of assigning tasks. He wanted to personally lead a team to Mulan City No. 1 High School to meet Yu Wangyou.

Of course, he wouldn't go there with his real identity, but would wear a Face Mask and use the identity of a Disciplinary Officer from the Mulan City Punishment Department, going with his colleagues.

When Huo Yushen's video call came, Meng Guanghui quickly accepted it.

"Marshal Huo, are you working overtime again?"

Huo Yushen ignored his nonsense and said with a cold face, "What's going on? How come there are Guardians and Saintesses in Mulan City again? Is the information reliable?"

Meng Guanghui quickly cut to the chase, saying, "This is news I just got today. There was a case of a mentally ill gunman entering Mulan City No. 1 High School and massacring people. Xia Chujian was there at the time and sent me this message. She said that the mentally ill gunman claimed to be a Guardian of the Judge Organization, and he claimed that a student in the school, Yu Wangyou, was their organization's Saintess. —I'm on my way to verify it."

Huo Yushen was speechless and said coldly, "...Xia Chujian took the words of a madman seriously?"

Meng Guanghui then spoke fairly, "I don't know if she took it seriously, but as a Special Security Bureau staff member, it's her duty to report such important information to her superiors in a timely manner."

Huo Yushen's expression softened a little, and he said, "What you said makes sense, then go and see. Find out what's going on, keep in touch, and notify me in time."

"Yes, Chief." Meng Guanghui quickly stood at attention and saluted.

Huo Yushen ended the video call and was silent for a while before opening the Special Security Bureau's information collection system.

He had been looking at the summary of work reports from various parties regarding the purge all day today and hadn't paid much attention to the content on the Star Network.

With this look, he saw that explosive dynamic image of Xia Chujian.

Of course, it had been blocked by the Special Security Bureau and was stored in the data archive.

It couldn't be seen on the Star Network.

Huo Yushen pondered for a long time and checked his work schedule for the next ten days.

He had to be present tomorrow to meet foreign envoys alongside the emperor.

But he could take his space-warping fighter jet after the state banquet tomorrow night and personally go to Guiyuan Star.

If what the mentally ill gunman said was true, it could be the biggest leak within the Judge Organization in the last ten years.

Huo Yushen then pulled up Yu Wangyou's information from the database and looked at it.

Judging from her growth experience, everything was normal. She had always been in Wind Sea City.

At the beginning of this year, her family moved to Mulan City, and she also transferred to Mulan City.

Moreover, she was the top student in this year's high school graduation exam on the entire Guiyuan Star.

Looking again at her home address in Mulan City...

Huo Yushen's eyes narrowed slightly.

This address looked awfully familiar.

Huo Yushen did a simple search and pulled up Xia Chujian's home address from the database.

The two addresses were clearly in the same building, on the same floor.

Neighbors, huh…

Could someone like that be the Saintess of the Judge Organization? Huo Yushen had been investigating the Judge Organization quite a bit lately due to the matter of purging the guards around the Emperor.

To be honest, based on his understanding of the Judge Organization, someone like Yu Wangyou didn't seem like the kind of Saintess, or Saintess candidate, they would be interested in.

Of course, there were always exceptions.

...

While the senior students at Mulan City No. 1 High School continued their afternoon mock exams, Meng Guanghui, wearing a Face Mask, arrived at the school with several subordinates, using their identities as members of the Mulan City Punishment Department.

They discovered that Yu Wangyou was not at school taking the exam, but had gone home at noon.

Meng Guanghui rushed to Yu Wangyou's home.

When he saw the slightly familiar address, the corner of his mouth twitched involuntarily.

Wasn't this the old building where Xia Chujian lived? So Yu Wangyou lived here too? He took two people into the elevator and went straight to the top floor to ring the doorbell.

He waited a full five minutes before someone opened the door.

The person who opened the door was Yu Wangyou's mother, Mrs. Yu.

She looked at the three men at the door suspiciously, and asked guardedly, "Who are you? What are you doing here?"

Meng Guanghui said with a heavy expression, "Is this the home of Yu Wangyou? I am a Disciplinary Officer from the Mulan City Punishment Department, here to investigate today's shooting."

Mrs. Yu didn't even look at the business card Meng Guanghui handed over, and said angrily, "Why are you looking for Wangyou?! She's the victim! You don't believe that lunatic, do you?! You can believe what that kind of person says?!"

"Besides, when that lunatic was killing people, your Punishment Department was nowhere to be seen! You only arrive late after the person is killed! And you come late, but you still want to question the victim?! On what basis?! Secondary damage? Are you afraid she wasn't beaten to death?!"

Meng Guanghui was extremely embarrassed.

He didn't know the Punishment Department had such a bad reputation. He wouldn't have borrowed the Punishment Department's identity if he had known.

But he wasn't so easily dismissed, and still insisted, "Yu was unfortunately caught up in the shooting at Mulan City No. 1 High School today, and we are very sorry. But the gunman killed so many students, and before he died, he said he was looking for Yu, so we must investigate. It's just a routine inquiry, please don't overinterpret it."

This is the second update. There will be a new update at five minutes past midnight tonight.
