This actor is full of tricks.

In the inspection department's car, Lin Jue was in so much pain that he could hardly breathe. The mountaintop had just collapsed, and by sheer coincidence, a large rock had crushed his newly bought SUV into a sheet of metal. His 180,000 yuan investment had gone down the drain in just half a month.

Besides him, Liezeng, and the driver, the car also had the landlady and her daughter sitting in the back. The two were snuggled together and asleep. What had just happened was indeed too shocking for ordinary people.

The driver, observing Lin Jue's expression through the rearview mirror, assumed he was worried about the proprietress and her daughter, and chuckled, "Minister Lin, don't worry. We compensate ordinary people for strange incidents. Someone will come to assess the losses in a couple of days."

"It's because of the Inspection Department that society is so stable." Lin Jue sighed. "To be honest, I also lost a car this time, worth about 300,000 yuan."

Hearing this, Lie Zeng, sitting in the passenger seat, turned around in disbelief and mouthed, "Boss! Are you really that heartless?"

The driver was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll report to the director later."

Just as Lin Jue was about to answer, his phone rang. The caller was Xiao Lin, which reminded Lin Jue that he had forgotten to let Xiao Lin know he was safe. Xiao Lin had been a great help.

As soon as the call connected, Xiao Lin's voice came through: "Are you alright?"

"If I'm not feeling well, I won't be able to answer your calls," Lin Jue said half-jokingly.

Xiao Lin, unusually, didn't argue with him, but instead asked in a calm voice, "How often can you go to headquarters?"

"Go to headquarters? What for?" Lin Jue was taken aback. Could it be that the high-ranking leaders wanted to see him?

"The mole has been caught, but he specifically asked to see you."

Xiao Lin's words surprised Lin Jue. The mole in the Inspection Department wanted to see him? What was he planning to do?

Lin Jue picked up the phone and said to the driver in front, "Sorry, I probably can't go to Director Gu's dinner party. I have to go to headquarters."

"Okay, then I'll take you to the airport." The driver understood and changed routes.

"Thanks." Lin Jue put the phone back to his ear, told Xiao Lin he would be right there, and then hung up.

When Lin Jue arrived at the airport, he realized a problem: he had a heart in his backpack, which wouldn't pass through security.

He dragged Liezang to a secluded corner and asked in a low voice, "If I were to give you the heart of the Evil Buddha, how long would it take you to digest it?"

"A day or two, I guess." Lie Zeng thought for a moment, then suddenly realized something and looked at Lin Jue with excitement: "Boss, you got that guy's heart?"

"Don't be so loud, or people will think I'm a black market dealer." Lin Jue made a shushing gesture and looked around. "After you eat the Evil Buddha's heart this time, will you be able to recover to your peak condition smoothly?"

Lie Zeng thumped his chest loudly: "I guarantee there won't be any problems."

"Okay." Lin Jue picked up a black bag, put his heart inside, and handed it to Lie Zeng: "Go find a remote place to absorb it, don't disturb ordinary people, and we'll meet in Yangtao Street in three days."

"Great!" Lie Zeng grabbed the bag and ran off impatiently. He had been weak for a long time and could finally recover to his peak condition!

As the most vicious beast in Yangtao Street, it will definitely hold a very important place in the boss's heart!

Lin Jue bought a ticket for the next available flight and headed straight for Yuanjing, the city where the headquarters of the Inspection Department was located.

Seven hours later, at 3 a.m., the plane landed smoothly at Yuanjing Airport. As soon as he exited the airport, he saw the vehicle of the Inspection Department and people holding up signs with the two big characters "Lin Jue" written on them.

Is it really that exaggerated...?

Lin Jue walked over, and the man noticed him. He took out his phone and looked at it for a long time, seemingly confirming his appearance. After confirming, the man smiled and came forward: "Hello Mr. Lin, I am Wu Peng, the captain of the Wangyue Squad of the Inspection Department Headquarters. King Zhuanlun specifically asked me to wait for you here."

"Thank you for your hard work, Captain Wu. Let's go." Lin Jue nodded slightly to the other party and got into the car.

As the capital, Yuanjing's prosperity far surpasses that of other cities. Moreover, the fact that the airport is still operating late at night indicates that its security is excellent, given that the headquarters is located here and that the King resides here year-round.

On the way, Wu Peng explained the situation to Lin Jue: "After King Yama went into the mist last time, he started investigating the mole when he came back. He checked everyone who knew about the incident, and they actually found the traitor."

"That man's name is Lu Xuan. He is a high-ranking official in the headquarters, with a position similar to that of a director in a provincial capital. He is mainly responsible for liaising with the inspection departments of various provinces in the Southwest region. Sanjiang happens to be in the Southwest region, and that guy was among those who participated in the decision to explore the mental hospital."

"Speaking of which, that guy actually came from Sanjiang."

"Someone who came from Sanjiang? Was he originally from the Sanjiang Inspection Bureau?" Lin Jue asked.

The man shook his head: "No, ten years ago, he was a psychiatrist at the Third Hospital of Sanjiang. Later, he switched to a hospital in Yuanjing, then lit up the Spirit Realm, and joined the Inspection Department. He rose from an ordinary investigator to his current position."

Ten years ago, that guy named Lu Xuan was a psychiatrist at the Third Hospital.
Based on this timeline, that should have been when Qin Lang went for treatment of his mental illness, and that's when the two of them got in touch.

If you think about it that way, Qin Lang started planning this ten years ago, planting a hidden thread within the fledgling Inspection Department.

What a meticulous and terrifying guy!

"Why did Lu Xuan specifically ask to see me?" Lin Jue asked again.

"I'm not entirely sure about that either." Wu Peng kept his eyes fixed straight ahead. "That guy's acting a bit strange, how should I put it?"

"After he was discovered to be the mole, he went crazy, always shouting that someone was going to kill him and that only you could save him."

"Moreover, he seemed to have a problem with his sense of time. He kept asking us how much time had passed, almost every minute, as if every minute was an extremely long time for him."

"He even asked the Wheel King if today was October 32nd, but where would the 32nd come from in October?"

This sentence instantly reminded Lin Jue of his predecessor's medical records, which also contained many non-existent dates, during which his predecessor suffered greatly.

And now, it seems that Lu Xuan is also experiencing this situation.

Could it be that this is Qin Lang's ability? To make people misperceive time?
Lin Jue believed Qin Lang's abilities were more complex than they seemed; that guy was hiding his true strength very well, having not revealed them in his previous attacks. (End of Chapter)
