The purple-red flames cast a flickering light on Ye Lin's face. Looking at the raging fire in front of him, Ye Lin's emotions were a jumble. He opened a pack of cigarettes he had picked up, lit one with his magic fire, put it in his mouth, and threw the whole pack into the fire. The smell of nicotine filled his mouth and lungs, gradually calming his mind. It seemed that every man was born with the memory of wanting to smoke when faced with something.
A high school student who had just changed his profession and was only level 16 had single-handedly killed Kenson, the underground king of Qingcheng, and burned down the entire black market. Even if he told this story himself, no one would believe him. Even the authorities wouldn't suspect him. It was like if the leader of the United States was assassinated, no one would investigate the person in front of the screen.
After this fire, everything would be blamed on the non-existent Ling Ye. Ye Lin lowered his eyes, looking at Ji's unconscious father through the white smoke of the cigarette. The only problem now was Ji's father. He was the only one who had witnessed Ye Lin killing Kenson tonight. If he killed Ji's father first, then sent Ji Lingyu to the afterlife, and then collapsed beside Ji Lingyu, severely injured and on the verge of death, he would be completely cleared of this matter.
At this thought, Ye Lin slowly raised the Starfall Heaven Scar, a glint of coldness flashing in his eyes. Just then, Ji's father slowly opened his eyes and saw the faint starlight flowing on the Starfall Heaven Scar. "Ye... Ye Lin, what are you doing?" Ye Lin didn't answer him but directly raised his hand and made a swift cut. With several flashes of cold light, a perfectly peeled red apple appeared. "Uncle Ji, do you want to eat an apple?" Ye Lin blinked innocently. Ji's father finally let out a sigh of relief and said, still shaken, "Ye Lin, you scared me to death. What are you eating an apple for at a time like this!" Ji's father turned his head and looked at the raging fire in front of him, asking in terror, "What's going on?" "Just now, those skeletons wanted to kill us. Fortunately, Brother Ling Ye, oh no!" Ye Lin quickly covered his mouth, looking like he had said something wrong, and corrected himself. "That mysterious person saved us and burned down the entire black market." "Oh?" A glint of sharpness flashed in Ji's father's eyes. He thought to himself that Ye Lin still had a childlike nature and couldn't keep his thoughts to himself. How could what he said be called a thought? He would have to teach Ye Lin a lesson when he had time. Ling Ye? Who was this mysterious strong person? He had never heard of him before. "It's okay! As long as we're all safe, let's go! The investigators should be here soon. I have to go back and prepare!" Ji's father's expression was solemn. Ye Lin nodded. The Investigation Bureau was an official organization dedicated to dealing with profession-changers. Kenson's death would definitely draw their full attention. He had indeed thought of killing Ji's father just now, but he had suppressed that thought in the end. If he really killed Ji's father and Ji Lingyu, who had done him a favor, just to live a carefree life, it would mean that he had completely abandoned his humanity as a human being. Humans are a combination of humanity and bestiality. They are usually shrewd and self-interested, but sometimes they can't help but be selfless and generous. He wanted to live because of his bestial instincts, but he saved Ji's father because Ji's father had done him a favor. This was his humanity. If he really abandoned his humanity, even if he lived a long life, he would just be a long-lived human-shaped beast. Seeing Ji's father and Ye Lin return safely, Ji Lingyu burst into tears and hugged Ji's father tightly. "Dad! Dad, you're finally back. I almost thought I would never see you again!"The most beautiful thing in life is to regain what was lost.
"Stupid boy, why are you crying? Dad is still here, isn't he? Don't worry. As long as Dad is alive, the sky won't fall."
Ji father affectionately ruffled Ji Lingyu's hair, his eyes also couldn't help but turn red.
Ji mother passed away early, and Ji Lingyu was raised by him alone. It could be said that after Ji mother's death, Ji Lingyu was Ji father's everything.
"Come on, stop crying and whining. It's not like a man at all! Move aside, Dad still has a lot of things to deal with!"
A sharp look flashed in Ji father's eyes. At this moment, he once again became the Ji boss who dominated the business world.
The matter of Kensun would surely cause a stir throughout Qingcheng very soon. At that time, the people from the Investigation Bureau would surely come out in full force to investigate this incident.
His top priority now was to ensure that Ye Lin and Ji Lingyu could smoothly take the college entrance examination.
As long as the two of them entered the college entrance examination room, even the Investigation Bureau wouldn't be able to touch them in the slightest.
Tonight was bound to be a sleepless night.
For Ji father, and for the rest of Qingcheng as well. ...
The Qingcheng Investigation Bureau.
Investigator Huang was sitting at his desk, having just finished organizing the case file of the Xu Zhihu farm incident.
Xu Zhihu was a subordinate of the underground king of Qingcheng, Kenson. Kenson had already given them a heads-up, asking the investigation bureau not to pursue the matter further. Therefore, Investigator Huang had directly closed the case as an unsolved one. When he looked up after finishing the file, he realized it was already past three in the morning.
He raised his fingers to rub his temples.
"The underground king of Qingcheng, having such a cancer in our city, is really a headache."
Just as he finished speaking, someone suddenly burst into the room with a bang. The sound of the door opening in the dead of night was like a thunderclap, startling Investigator Huang.
Looking up, he saw that the person who had pushed the door open was his apprentice, Xu Xiu, who was assigned to him by the bureau. Xu Xiu's face was filled with panic.
"What's the matter? Why are you so clumsy? Didn't I teach you? Stay calm when encountering problems and keep your emotions stable. Panic and excitement won't solve anything!" Huang scolded.
"Yes, yes, Master, you're right. But, it's really a huge matter!" Xu Xiu's throat involuntarily moved up and down, and his forehead was covered with cold sweat.
"Oh?" Huang smiled faintly, a composed look on his face. He picked up the cup on the table and took a sip of water. "Tell me, what's this huge matter?"
Young people just can't hold their composure. Even the slightest thing can get them all worked up.
"Master, please don't be scared when I tell you!" Xu Xiu said in terror.
"Don't worry. I've been an investigator for so many years. What haven't I seen? The Giant's View, human centipedes, what could scare me?" Huang remained calm and continued drinking water.
"Kenson is dead. The entire underground black market was burned to ashes. The method and means are exactly the same as that farm incident." Seeing Huang's composed demeanor, Xu Xiu also calmed down and said calmly.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Huang spat out a mouthful of water, spraying it all over Xu Xiu's head and body.
"What? ! Who did you say died? Kenson? What the hell! ?
