Chapter 428: 【345】A Da Peng City existence not to be trifled with (Votes for Monthly Tickets and Recommendations Needed)_1

“Wu Zhoufei is dead?”

In the early morning, inside the office of the Municipal Governor, Governor Zhou Weiren felt his scalp go numb the moment he heard this news.

“The information has been confirmed by the Investigation Team. The scene contains the lingering presence of Multi-System Elements, with a special magnetic field that cannot be locked down, suggesting the possibility of a group committing the crime.” Secretary Lin spoke earnestly, “Additionally, Governor, there seems to be a breakthrough in the case involving the former Chief Instructor of the Night Patrol Department, Chang Youlong’s murder.”

Pei Jinye observed with a calm gaze, while Brother Bi and Zhou Ye beside him were full of emotion.

“That’s why one must always embrace goodness. I had a feeling about his deep thoughts when I first looked at his face…”

Before Zhou Ye could finish, he was interrupted by Brother Bi, “You’re just being wise after the event, didn’t you also say this fellow had a bright future before?”

“I had only just begun learning physiognomy then; my skills were not refined enough,” Zhou Ye defended.

Brother Bi couldn’t be bothered to engage him further but still nodded and said, “Still, one should indeed keep a low profile. The Wu Family has always been high-profile in their actions. It’s no surprise they attracted enemies. For someone to take action during Da Peng City’s crackdown period shows they really don’t care.”

At the funeral, Wu Muyu’s eyes were red from crying.

She was truly crying.

This time, coming to Da Peng City with Wu Zhoufei, though she was somewhat reluctant, her family had made it clear that she could benefit from following Wu Zhoufei upon returning.

But now her second brother had been murdered. What was she to do?

Even though the Wu Family could cover the skies with one hand in Nandu, it was impossible to transfer her away right now.

She had taken someone else’s place in the Da Peng City Investigation Team.

No one would agree to let her leave just because she said so.

Thus, in Da Peng City, she was truly isolated and without support.

Thinking of this.

Wu Muyu cried even harder.

Pei Jinye watched silently.

The last message Wu Zhoufei had for those above was intercepted by him on the spur of the moment; otherwise, the people from the Judgement Place would already be investigating him.

Having avoided this trouble, he only hoped the new team leader would be sensible.

…

…

After the funeral, Pei Jinye was somewhat surprised to be contacted by Zhou Weiren, but still he went to meet him as agreed.

“Uncle Zhou.”

“Sit down.”

Inside the teahouse, Zhou Weiren met privately with Pei Jinye in plain clothes.

After chatting casually with Pei Jinye for a while, he began to speak about official matters.

“How much do you know about Teacher Chang from the Bronze Association?”

Pei Jinye looked up when he heard this, took a leisurely sip of tea, and then repeated the words he had told the Night Patrol Department during their investigations.

After he had finished speaking, Zhou Weiren nodded and said, “You might not know this yet, but there is now evidence pointing to Chang Youlong as the murderer in the Storm City major case three years ago…”

He spoke with a sigh of regret.

He explained the accusation made against Teacher Chang after Fang Tianjian awoke.

According to Zhou Weiren’s implications, Fang Tianjian was seriously injured and would probably have to live as an ordinary person from now on.

For this once high-and-mighty scion of the Fang Family, it was nothing short of a catastrophe.

However, Pei Jinye could only verbally express his regret.

After ending the meeting with Zhou Weiren, he completely set aside the matter.

No matter the case, he had a perfect alibi and had nothing to fear.

Next, his focus would be on cultivating in peace, striving to reach the Ninth Rank as soon as possible.

Since he was cultivating, he aimed to be the strongest!

He wouldn’t seek trouble, but if trouble came, he would have the power to level everything!

…

…

Time flies quickly.

In the blink of an eye, a month passed.

The aftershock of the murders of Teacher Chang and Wu Zhoufei had almost entirely dissipated within Da Peng City.

In fact, aside from the day when armored vehicles swarmed the streets to search for the murderer, causing widespread panic, the city’s residents went back to their usual routines of eating and drinking.

The Judgement Place sent two delegations, expressing severe condemnation of the dreadful public security environment in Da Peng City, though they didn’t say this directly to Zhou Weiren’s face, giving him some dignity.

But Zhou Weiren was still greatly irritated.

Could he be blamed for Wu Zhou Fei’s death?

What was the Judgement Place getting involved for, if not asking for trouble? Who else could be blamed for finding their own demise!

The tension between Da Peng City officials and the Judgement Place was thick.

This time, the China side did not stand with the Judgement Place… Regarding the vendetta between official institutions, Pei Jinye did not get involved.

For him, he was very much enjoying the peaceful times he had created for himself.

Jiang’s Family Back Mountain.

Pei Jinye sat cross-legged in the forest.

As the Wood Element spread out.

The trees in this area were lusher than those outside, hosting numerous shadows flitting about. At the forefront, perched on a branch, a Bluebird larger in size than the rest stands like the chief of the Forbidden Army, leading hundreds of elites.

On another locust tree, an enormous head maintained its resting posture for a whopping 50 hours, occasionally letting out sleep-talk… “Hiss (eat)”

The daylight progresses from bright to the afterglow of sunset, followed by the cold night breeze that gradually stirs the flora in the forest.

The forest grew deathly quiet.

Not long after.

Pei Jinye finally opened his eyes.

The five Golden Lotuses above his head retracted back into his body.

He pulled up the attribute panel.

…

[Name]: Pei Jinye;

[Devour·Second Form (612/10000)]

[Transcendent Fate: Gigantic Blood Nightmare (Evolving)]

[Extraordinary Genes]: (Hidden);

[Extraordinary Abilities]: (Hidden);

[Vitality Value]: 265 kcal;

[Stamina]: 264;

[Psychic Power]: 280;

…

In one month, his Three Attribute Values had surged by more than forty points.

For Pei Jinye, this was certainly good news.

The Investigation Team hadn’t sent any new leaders to Team Seven but chose the former Qiu Hezi to officially assume the position of team leader.

Life in the Investigation Team for Jinye reverted to low profile and carefree without the Wu Family’s meddling.

After Sister Lin Xiawei left, they only contacted each other once to ensure mutual safety and had not been in touch since.

Pei Jinye stopped his meditation.

He looked up at the sky beyond the branches, adorned with Dazzling Stars. The profound silence seemed almost as if he had returned to days of old.

Then, his gaze suddenly sharpened.

Twenty meters away, the void appeared to have been torn apart.

Almost instantly.

The Giant Python and the Bluebird not far away both raised their heads in unison to look.

Without thinking, Pei Jinye raised his hand and unleashed a terrifyingly powerful force directly towards the figure that had stepped out from the rift in space.

He was now in Jiang’s Family Back Mountain.

At this moment, anyone who suddenly appeared here, no matter their identity, had one response from Jinye:

Get lost!

“Boom!”

It was like a cannonball striking the earth, the unleashed wave was akin to numerous sharp Sword Qi, instantly exploding in a clear ripple at the impact point.

The crack in the void grew larger.

Yet at that moment, the figure disappeared.

Pei Jinye stood expressionless in mid-air.

This face still bore the appearance of Jiang Qingcang.

…

…

Meanwhile.

In the Martial Family of Nandu.

“Pu!”

Wu Hailang’s figure suddenly fell from the sky, his entire body fractured, violently spewing blood from his mouth.

This scene stunned everyone still present in the room.

“Father!!!”

A girl bearing some resemblance to Wu Zhou Fei hurried over, but a silver-haired old woman behind her moved faster, appearing before Wu Hailang in a flash. Her silver needles descended and finally stemmed the flow of Wu Hailang’s blood.

Although Wu Hailang no longer bled, his injuries were too severe for him to articulate anything coherent at the moment.

But the everyone present understood the last words he managed before losing consciousness.

[Jiang Qingcang of Da Peng City, not to be trifled with!]
