My profession is too unique.

Chapter 42 Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!
"Brother Su, thank you..." Du Yu said, still shaken.

"Let's go." Yuan Chenyang led the team away, calling Su Chen along with him.

Following Yuan Chenyang, Su Chen boarded his extremely prestigious-looking car, its calm black and blue color scheme resembling a seemingly calm sea surface concealing raging waves.

The two sat in the back seat, the windows were dark, and they could barely hear any noise from the car.

"There was actually someone who tried to assassinate you."

Yuan Chenyang then spoke, his eyes revealing deep thought.

Su Chen acted as if he hadn't heard, touching the armrest between the two of them, "Isn't there a small refrigerator in the back?"

Yuan Chenyang's face was ashen. "This is just a means of transportation."

Su Chen then sat up straight, filled with righteous indignation: "These people brazenly attacked you, they simply don't respect you at all."

"There are plenty of people who don't take me seriously," Yuan Chenyang said casually.

Su Chen seemed not to hear him and continued to ask, "Can we find any clues by following the actions of these people?"

“It’s definitely possible.” Yuan Chenyang was somewhat lost in thought. “The one in the lead is a second-tier professional, and he looks vaguely familiar. He’s probably from Nanfeng City.”

"But you don't seem to have done anything wrong, so why are they targeting you?"

Yuan Chenyang seemed to be talking to himself, or perhaps asking Su Chen. Using Su Chen as bait was just a casual thing to do, but the result was unexpected.

Su Chen naturally knew why; it must be because of the two space crystals that had been swallowed. But on the surface, he also looked puzzled: "I intercepted the Holy Word Stone, and Zhou Xian still thinks that I killed his son. Isn't that enough?"

“Zhou Xian is only a suspect, and he’s being closely watched,” Yuan Chenyang murmured. “Is that thing really that important, as revenge for intercepting the Sacred Word Stone?”

Su Chen scratched his head and asked curiously, "What exactly is the purpose of that Sacred Word Stone?"

Yuan Chenyang explained: "Its main function is to record occupational information, and its secondary function is to serve as a carrier for communicating with the spirits."

"What exactly is the Ghost God?" Su Chen pressed.

“The Ghost God…” Yuan Chenyang hesitated, then touched his bald head as if he had been thinking for a long time before saying, “The Ghost God is indeed the Ghost God, inspiring worship and driving people mad.”

Yuan Chenyang couldn't explain the true nature of the Ghost God either. As if feeling ashamed, he waved his hand impatiently and said, "I added some more to the potion that you asked Lao Sun to make for you, and I've already had him send it to you."

"That's the benefit," Su Chen said immediately. "Thank you, teacher."

"What's wrong?" Yuan Chenyang asked, seeing his hesitant expression.

Su Chen hesitated and asked, "Then does that mean I won't be able to go out anymore?"

“Not at all.” Yuan Chenyang shook his head. “Nanfeng City isn’t at the point where it’s covered with spies from the Ghost God. This banquet has been in preparation for a long time, and the invitation list could easily be leaked. It would be a good opportunity to ambush and assassinate someone.”

"Under normal circumstances, no one can predict when you will go out or where you will go."

"That's good." Su Chen breathed a sigh of relief.

.........

The banquet gradually came to an end. As everyone was leaving, they were still discussing what had just happened. Zhang Hengyu and Zhang Yunqing saw everyone off.

"What's wrong?" Zhang Yunqing was still pondering whether Su Chen was indeed the Windwalker, and about the blue gauntlets, when she noticed her younger brother's furrowed brows.

“Su Chen is better than me; he’s more qualified to go to Yingfeng,” Zhang Hengyu said in a low voice, the battle just now having occurred in the blink of an eye.

He thought it over carefully and realized that if he were in that situation, it would be difficult for him to escape unscathed.

"What does Father usually do?" Zhang Yunqing was slightly taken aback, and said helplessly, "Giving him this spot is useless; the refugees will be implicitly ostracized."

“But Father can revise the documents for him this year, there’s no need to wait another year.” Zhang Hengyu still felt uneasy. “Why?” Zhang Yunqing’s gentle smile vanished, her voice gradually turning cold as she looked coldly at Zhang Hengyu. “Power is also a kind of strength, it’s just that he was born with bad luck.”

"This is not just about yourself. If you don't have this awareness, you should definitely give up this spot."

Zhang Hengyu looked over in astonishment, only to find that his sister had already turned and left, and he could vaguely hear something like "foolish little brother".

.........

Back at the Supervision Department, Su Chen obediently went upstairs, while Yuan Chenyang took the corpse and the only survivor to the interrogation room, but he wasn't very interested. These guys were all crazy, and he probably wouldn't be able to get anything out of them.

Someone was already waiting in the corridor. He was short and had a very bad expression: "Minister, we've confirmed the identity of that second-tier professional. He's from the Exploration Department—Chen Wu."

"Exploration Department!?"

Yuan Chenyang's expression changed drastically, and he ordered in a deep voice, "Old Du, block this news. Anyone who dares to leak it out, don't blame me for turning my back on them."

Old Du nodded solemnly, and the two went to a small room next to the interrogation room. Old Du looked at the other survivor on the other side, whose face was ferocious and who was shouting something fanatically.

He whispered, "Minister, what should we do?"

"You've really thrown me a lot of trouble." Yuan Chenyang's face was ashen. "First, there was something fishy going on in the city patrol department, then someone from the surveillance department sneaked into Su Chen's room, and now the assassin is someone from the exploration department."

"Nanfeng City is riddled with holes! Ying Feng's men are right here; let them know that we're all doomed!"

"Should we...stop for now?" Old Du hesitated. "The city lord has gone out with the patrol chief. If they come back and find out we're investigating their internal spies, this..."

What if they actually find something wrong?
“Good tactic…” Yuan Chenyang’s eyebrows twitched as he paced back and forth. “But what is the purpose of doing this? It’s still exposed eventually. How long can it be delayed?”

"No!" Yuan Chenyang suddenly stopped, his eyes flashing with a sharp light. "Their goal might just be to stall!"

"We don't know what's going on with the city lord. If we wait for them to return before discussing this, who knows how far things will go!"

"Investigate! We must investigate!" Yuan Chenyang practically roared from his throat. "Start with these guys' relatives and friends. Put all the suspects under surveillance!"

"And Zhou Xian, keep a close eye on him!"

Old Du's heart skipped a beat, and he quickly replied, "Understood!"

With two of the leaders of the three major violent organizations absent, there's really no one in Nanfeng City who dares to provoke Yuan Chenyang.

But this kind of behavior is like a backstab; whether it's discovered or not, it doesn't matter.

Both of them will be furious when they return.

.........

Su Chen, who was going upstairs, was unaware that a storm was about to break out. He only saw Old Sun standing at the door of his room with a smile on his face.

"Brother Sun, why are you waiting outside my room again?" Su Chen said, his gaze involuntarily drifting to the metal box the other man was carrying.

"Just send me a message if you need anything, and I'll come find you."

“There’s nothing much to do in the office.” Fatty Sun chuckled and followed Su Chen into the room. After exchanging a few pleasantries, he placed the metal box on the table.

Upon opening the box, a white, icy mist surged out, revealing three rows of potions, with ten vials of Black Flame Potion on top.

The center is a rich, luminous blue, and it also has ten tubes.

There were only three vials of the pink potion at the bottom, none of which Su Chen had ever seen before.
