Chapter 436 Death of the Underworld Messenger
Yu Shanze is a senior team leader at the Mubei City Investigation Bureau. Although his strength has grown slowly over the years, he is not exactly a nobody in the bureau due to his seniority.

Many people, both newcomers and veterans, know him.

Therefore, Bai Hongtao was quite shocked when he learned that Yu Shanze had attacked Bai Yongnian's chicken farm.

If Yu Shanze had attacked someone else's chicken farm, Bai Hongtao wouldn't have made such a fuss. But the attack was on Bai Yongnian's chicken farm, and it was the underworld officials!

Why are the Bureau of Investigation agents attacking the chicken farm of the underworld officials?
Therefore, upon receiving the news, Bai Hongtao immediately retrieved the video recordings of Yu Shanze to prevent any uncontrollable changes in the situation.

Even now, Bai Hongtao still doesn't understand what Yu Shanze's purpose was in attacking Bai Yongnian's chicken farm.
"Ha, would you believe me if I said I had a grudge against Bai Yongnian?"

Yu Shanze looked at Bai Hongtao and said calmly.

"Where did this resentment come from? How many times have you interacted with him? Where did this resentment come from!"

"Yu Shanze, you'd better stop trying to fool me. If you had told me sooner, I could have helped you smooth things over and minimized the impact. If you remain stubborn and Bai Yongnian wants you back, I'll have no choice but to hand you over."

Bai Hongtao frowned as he looked at Yu Shanze and said in a cold voice.

"Heh, go ahead and hand it over. It's just a chicken farm. Do you think he can kill me?"

Yu Shanze said indifferently.

This attitude infuriated Bai Hongtao.

Is this a chicken farm issue?
Bai Hongtao didn't want to say anything more, so he got up and walked outside.

"Take him to the Yangshi Chamber and forbid anyone to visit him!"

Bai Hongtao said to Jin Chao.

Soon, Bai Hongtao returned to his office.

Jin Chao, having finished his business, also came over.

"Director, I have a feeling that there's something fishy about what Yu Shanze did."

"How can this not be suspicious? Don't you know what kind of person that guy is in the bureau? Even if he gets into a conflict with someone, he never retaliates afterwards. But now he's telling me he has a grudge against Bai Yongnian, someone he has absolutely no connection with? What grudge could he possibly have!"

Jin Chao looked at Bai Hongtao, who was slamming his fist on the table, and tentatively asked, "Then, Director, what do you think is the reason he did this?"

Bai Hongtao leaned back in his chair and rubbed his temples.

"I have some guesses about why..."

"Let's wait a bit longer. If Bai Yongnian doesn't pursue the matter further, send Yu Shanze to the General Administration for an analysis. Then we'll know exactly what his composition is."

Bai Hongtao still didn't reveal what was on his mind, because it was something he found hard to accept.

Just then, the office landline rang.

It's from the General Administration.

Upon answering the phone and hearing the news, Bai Hongtao immediately got up and headed towards the conference room.

"What's wrong, Chief?"

"The General Administration has arranged a remote meeting; you can join in."

Soon, the two arrived at the corresponding conference room and turned on the projection equipment.

Five minutes later, Chu Xiu's serious face appeared on the projection.

"The bureau chiefs have arrived. Now there is something I need to inform you about."

Seeing Chu Xiu's serious face, Bai Hongtao sensed that this matter was not simple, and immediately sat up straight.

"In multiple police stations, including Xiangzhu City, Pink Cherry City, Lingyuan City, Shouzai City, and Yoshipin City, there have been cases of police officers from the Bureau of Investigation attacking underworld officials."

"Among them, Wu He'an and Jin Nanlian, commissioners of the Shoucai City and Jipin City branches, attacked and killed the underworld messengers Nan Yuke and Wang Xinghui. Sang Sinan and others, commissioners of Xiangzhu City, Fenying City and Lingyuan City, kidnapped and murdered the families of the underworld messengers."

"All of the above-mentioned individuals were either killed or committed suicide during the arrest process."

"All Bureau of Investigations are hereby notified to strengthen the protection of the families of underworld officials. Any attacks involving underworld officials must be taken seriously, and if possible, capture them alive!"

Upon hearing this, Bai Hongtao, who was initially shocked by the first part of the news from the General Administration, immediately rushed out of the conference room and headed towards the third basement level!

When he opened the room where Yu Shanze was being held, he saw Yu Shanze prying Yang stones off the wall and stuffing them into his mouth.

"stop!"

Bai Hongtao shouted, and his skeletal fingers shot out, piercing through Yu Shanze's hands.

The two Yang Stones fell to the ground, but Yu Shanze had already begun to convulse.

Bai Hongtao glanced at the wall.

More than ten Yang stones are missing from the wall that was inlaid with them.

Bai Hongtao rushed over, pulled Yu Shanze up, and ran towards the infirmary. He then instructed Jin Chao, who had followed him, "Go, call all the Yin cultivators in the bureau over and give Yu Shanze Yin power!"

Jin Chao glanced at Yu Shanze, whose face was deathly pale, and quickly ran away.

After half an hour.

After looking at Yu Shanze, who had calmed down in the infirmary, Bai Hongtao picked up his phone and made a call to the General Administration.

After finishing, Bai Hongtao said to Jin Chao, "You keep an eye on Yu Shanze. No accidents are allowed before the people from the General Administration arrive!"

"Yes!"

Jin Chao responded.

The things discussed at the meeting had made him realize Yu Shanze's current importance to the Bureau of Public Opinion.

"Director, what exactly is going on with Yu Shanze and his group?"

After a long silence, Bai Hongtao said, "We'll know when the people from the General Administration arrive. Let's stop guessing."

After saying that, Bai Hongtao left the basement.

There are quite a few underworld officials in Mubei City. The families of these underworld officials must be protected to prevent any further accidents!

But then, Bai Hongtao thought of something.

If one of the agents he sent to protect the families of the underworld officials was someone like Yu Shanze, wouldn't that be sending sheep into the tiger's den?
What should I do?
Bai Hongtao frowned.

……

Bai Yongnian has returned to his post in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town. He has handed over the chicken farm matter to the Bureau of Public Opinion Investigation and has not inquired about it since.

But just as he was about to visit Xu Zhiheng with Ji Mo, something else happened.

Ye Chang came looking for him.

"Brother Ye, what's wrong?"

Bai Yongnian still showed Ye Chang a certain degree of respect, and even though there were now many underworld officials in the Bai family, he did not neglect Ye Chang because of this.

"Nan Yuke is dead."

"what?"

Bai Yongnian didn't react in time.

"Who died?"

"Nan Yuke!"

Bai Yongnian was taken aback.

"What happened? Didn't he have a raven feather raincoat and stickers? How could he die? Could it be that he encountered a blood disaster in the underworld?"

Besides this, Bai Yongnian couldn't think of anything else that could cause Nan Yuke's death.

Ye Chang shook his head, his face looking very grim.

“It’s not a blood disaster, it’s people. Nan Yu Ke and I went back to the mortal world together and made a promise to return together, but when I tried to contact him again, I couldn’t reach him anymore.”

"Then I called Nan Yuke's family, and the police answered. He said... Nan Yuke's family was wiped out."

Upon hearing the words "extermination of the entire family," Ji Mo and Bai Yongnian's expressions changed.

These words, which are usually only seen in television and movies, have actually appeared before them.

"Who did it!"

"I don't know, the police station didn't say."

Bai Yongnian looked at Ye Chang and asked, "Brother Ye, did you come to me to ask me to contact someone to resolve this matter?"

Ye Chang shook his head. "I felt something was wrong. After Nan Yu Ke died, I realized that someone seemed to have broken into my house as well."

"At first I thought it was because no one was home and a thief had broken in, but now..."

"I feel that someone is targeting me and Nan Yu Ke, and perhaps... even targeting the underworld officials!"

“I came to you to find out if something similar has happened around you. If so, I think we should take this matter seriously.”

As soon as Ye Chang finished speaking, Bai Yongnian's expression changed.

He thought of the accident that happened at his chicken farm.

"Wait, let me go back and ask if anything has happened to the other people's families."

Bai Yongnian tossed the tea leaves in his hand to Ji Mo and left the camp again.

Half an hour later, Bai Yongnian returned with a gloomy face.

"How about it?"

At this time, there were already more than a dozen underworld messengers gathered in the courtyard.

Bai Yongnian glanced at the crowd and pointed out the names of several people.

"Your house was also attacked, but fortunately the Bureau of Investigation seems to have realized something and sent people to guard the area, so there were no casualties."

"What? My house has been attacked?"

Some people's expressions changed drastically, and they immediately took out stickers and sent them back.

Bai Yongnian did not stop them. After watching most of the Yin messengers leave, he said to Ye Chang, Ji Mo and the others, "I asked the Bureau of Investigation, but they did not give a conclusion to this matter. They said they would find out the results as soon as possible, but I always feel that something is not right."

"What's wrong?"

Ji Mo asked.

"How did the Bureau of Investigation know that someone was planning to attack the families of us underworld officials?"

"Haven't they been protecting us all along in secret?"

Ji Mo asked in confusion.

"How many people are in the Bureau of Investigation? How many relatives of the underworld officials are there? Do you expect the Bureau of Investigation to do nothing but protect our families?"

Bai Yongnian's words left Ji Mo speechless.

"How did they know?"

This question arose in everyone's mind.

Bai Yongnian took out his phone from his clothes and looked at the photo he had taken at the chicken farm.

If we can find this person, we should be able to answer his question.

But Bai Yongnian couldn't remember where he had seen this person before.

Why are you looking at his photo?

A sudden remark at the end of the season brought Bai Yongnian back to his senses.

"Nothing, just..."

Suddenly, Bai Yongnian turned his head sharply to look at Ji Mo.

"You remember him?"

Ji Mo looked at the photo and asked in confusion, "Isn't this someone from the Bureau of Investigation? I've seen them a few times before, but I've forgotten their names."

"What did you say?"

Bai Yongnian's eyes widened.

"Is this someone from the Bureau of Investigation?"

"Yeah, what's with that expression?"

"you sure?"

Bai Yongnian handed the phone to Ji Mo.

"I am sure!"

After putting down his phone, Bai Yongnian was filled with shock.

If this was someone from the Bureau of Investigation, then why didn't Jin Chao, who knew the whole story, tell him?
What is Jin Chao, or the Bureau of Investigation, hiding?
Bai Yongnian suddenly felt a chill run down his spine because of some of his own suspicions.

If that's the case, then all the underworld officials' families still in the mortal world are in danger!

This is a serious matter, and he needs to confirm it again.

Immediately, Bai Yongnian rushed to the 'Underworld Internet Cafe' and entered the mirage.

In the mirage, Bai Yongnian found Shen Zhihong playing chess under a tree and told him his purpose.

Upon hearing this news, Shen Zhihong left the Mirage Realm and began inquiring at the Three Mountains' encampment.

After some underworld messengers returned to confirm, Shen Zhihong received the information he wanted.

The news was too shocking, and he couldn't make a decision for the time being. He could only return to the Mirage Realm to communicate with Bai Yongnian.

After some discussion, the two reached an agreement.

First, report this matter to the Underworld Official and see if the Underworld's higher-ups can intervene to resolve it.

However, the problem now is that they only have this one photo in Bai Yongnian's possession to show that the person who attacked the underworld officials and their families is related to the Bureau of Investigation. If the Bureau of Investigation does not admit it, even if the higher-ups of the underworld come forward, will it be of any use?

But this was the only option left, so Bai Yongnian and Shen Zhihong decided to give it a try.

Secondly, we need to make backup plans. Even if we can communicate, there are still time-sensitive issues.

Therefore, the underworld officials who still possess good karma must exchange stickers for their relatives and transfer them to their posts.

If you lack good karma, you can borrow money; first, transfer the money to your immediate family members.

Finally, the Bai and Ji families, among others, agreed to pay for train and plane tickets to gather the remaining Yin-Yang relatives in the mortal world in several locations, where the Yin-Yang messengers, clad in raven feather raincoats, would go to protect them.

After the discussion, the two left the Mirage Realm directly.

Soon, the underworld messengers at the Sanshan and Zhouzhuang Ancient Town posts were all busy.

Bai Yongnian, Ji Mo, Ye Chang, Shen Zhihong, Kong Yi, and others gathered at their respective exchange windows and informed Jiuri of the situation.

Then they got the same answer.

"The underworld is aware of this matter. Until the incident is over, all the merit required for exchanging stickers by underworld officials will be waived, as will the merit required for renting houses."

Upon receiving this reply, Bai Yongnian and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

In this way, at least no other problems will arise.

Immediately, all the underworld messengers sprang into action.

Within just two or three hours, all the houses at the Sanshan camp were full of people, and some even had to put portable beds and tents in their yards.

The situation in Zhouzhuang Ancient Town was much better. Even though the Bai family, the Ji family, and other wealthy underworld officials had brought all their relatives to the town, most of the houses there were still empty.

With more people, things naturally become chaotic.

Even with the constraints imposed by Bai Yongnian and others, some people still couldn't help but be driven by curiosity.

Fear overwhelmed curiosity only after someone ran out of the protected area of ​​the camp and was killed by ghosts and hung from a tree branch outside the camp.

Chen Xin paid no attention to any of this.

At this moment, he had transformed into the Raven Prophet and was standing on the conference table at the Bureau of Investigation headquarters.

Bai Yongnian and the others didn't know if it was done by the Bureau of Investigation, but Chen Xin only needed to review the talismans on the bodies of the deceased underworld officials to see the killer's face.

Afterwards, Chen Xin can use his original body to search for members of the Bureau of Investigation in the corresponding region and then he will know everything.

Although he was puzzled by the Bureau of Investigation's motives, the deed had already been done, and as the ruler of the underworld, he could not remain inactive.

So, here he comes.
