Why did you provoke me?

Secretary Wu sat there talking to himself, and Nangong Tianshou didn't interrupt; he didn't know what to say.

The somber atmosphere lasted for several days before the first battlefield finally stirred, and all of Jingchuan's squads were driven out.

Secretary Wu was completely stunned when she received the news.

He didn't know if the battlefield administrators were targeting Jingchuan, or if it was just a coincidence that Jingchuan was ranked higher.

He opened the intercom and inquired carefully for a long time before realizing it was for everyone. He finally breathed a sigh of relief. Thank goodness!

But then another problem arose: how should he arrange his collection team? He couldn't just stop working and have him pay to support them, could he? That wouldn't do, absolutely not.

When the news reached Nangong Tianshou's ears, and those who knew him were expelled from the first battlefield, he strangely wondered, "Is this blade finally about to fall?"

"Finally, something's about to happen." He sat at the table, holding a water glass, and didn't move for a long time.

He asked his trusted aides, "Didn't they manage to save a single person?"

"No, I don't know where they came from, there are a lot of them, and they have a kind of detector on them that can accurately find people hiding in various places."

Another strange thing happened, I don't know what they did, but we walked through a long corridor, and at the end there were two doors, where people split up.

"Have all our people come out yet?"

"They're all out. Third Master, what do we do?"

"Find a place to rest and wait for my message." Nangong Tianshou turned off the communication bell. Luckily, no one was caught up in the upcoming storm.

Those guarding the exit of the first battlefield began sending back messages: "Someone was brought into the battlefield, but we couldn't see who it was."

"The Hou family suffered heavy losses of influence inside."

"A special person entered the battlefield. He was wearing a long robe and had long hair, so his face was not clearly visible."

"One person was shot dead on the spot for arguing a few words."

"It seems that the parasites have also emerged, and some people are behaving very abnormally."

……

In an instant, all sorts of messages flooded into Secretary Wu's voicemail.

"None of these are important matters. Let's find out what their purpose is?" Nangong Tianshou reminded him from the side.

"These are all messages from the exits, not from inside the battlefield. We can't find them." Secretary Wu said helplessly. No one inside could be hidden; they had all been found.

"Guess what it is? The First Battlefield has always been controlled by Jingchuan. It hasn't been that long since it changed hands, so there shouldn't be any major changes. Think carefully about what special things have happened during this time." Nangong Tianshou stood up and spun around several times.

"What could be special? We've just found a few more unfamiliar aliens. The aliens on the outskirts have become ordinary and no longer pose a threat to humans," Secretary Wu rambled on. "Right, the unfamiliar aliens..." Secretary Wu paused, "You mean those special aliens," he looked at Nangong Tianshou, "could it be that the matter in the dense forest hasn't been resolved yet?"

Nangong Tianshou also stood still. "What exactly is in the dense forest? Is it worth all this trouble?"

"It's said to be related to lifespan," Secretary Wu added.

Lifespan! This is a topic worth risking one's life for.

The two of them looked at their fingers simultaneously, and then turned their faces away in perfect unison.

"No, I need to make some arrangements. I have to go now." Secretary Wu couldn't sit still any longer.

Many people have been to Jingchuan, and the Jia family knows about it. He needs to remind those who have been there to be careful to hide.

He contacted Jia Daoyi directly, "Clan Chief Jia, are you aware of the full-scale expulsion from the First Battlefield?"

"Yes, I just received the news. Do you know what happened?" As the patriarch of a reclusive family, Jia Daoyi spoke to Secretary Wu without any restraint.

"Chief Jia, it's like this. Teacher Yu speculates that they are connected to the changes in the Fourth Battlefield. And all of this may point to the Dense Forest. Teacher Yu asked me to give you a heads-up. Those two young men who were behind you back then should be careful during this period."

Jia Daoyi sat up straight. "What do you mean?"

"The bone-drawing master has plenty of ways to get people to tell the truth. Young people are inexperienced, and if they can't resist the temptation, the Jia family will face endless trouble." Secretary Wu used the tiger's skin as a banner, and his tone was very direct.

"Brother Wu, I'm afraid your troubles in Jingchuan are about to get even bigger?"

"You're mistaken. There's nothing wrong with our side. Even if we use underhanded tactics, we won't find anything." Secretary Wu could only grit his teeth and continue.

"Teacher Yu is already that good?"

"You already knew about Teacher Yu's strength. Oh, by the way, if you're alright, could you let Jing Ancheng and the others come back? It seems Teacher Yu has other plans for them."

After turning off the intercom, Secretary Wu wiped the sweat from her brow. Lying to a superior is no easy task, especially on such a sensitive topic as reminding them to keep their tails hidden and not cause her trouble.

But he had no choice. The Jia family was a ticking time bomb. If the matter were to be leaked, Jingchuan probably couldn't bear the consequences.

He then thought of Xiao Wen and Liu Wei, who had spent the night inside. What if they were being watched?

He was pacing anxiously on this side. Although he didn't know if it was true or not, it was always better to be on the safe side.

Yu Meng was still in seclusion, and she and Niannian went to handle this matter. Secretary Wu was really worried. He spoke so confidently to Jia Daoyi, but in reality, he was extremely anxious.

……

Meanwhile, Niannian and Jingsan went directly into a small village under the jurisdiction of Feng County.

Because they had prisoners with them, they didn't take any detours at all.

Niannian still remembered Yu Meng's instructions: finding information was the most important thing, and everything else could wait.

Looking at the room full of documents, Nian Nian felt numb. How long would it take to compile such a roomful of information? In other words, how many bad things must they have done to accumulate so much experience?

In the warehouse on the other side, Liu Wei was also getting excited. "Third Brother, it seems like there's even more than in Fucheng!"

"It's not just a feeling, it's a lot."

"We've really struck it rich this time." Jing Er stared at the items, his eyes wide with amazement. No wonder Secretary Wu was so lenient with Jing San and the others. If someone could bring him so much wealth, he would call them "Dad."

"Don't just stand there, it's not ours yet. Take it back and put it in Secretary Wu's warehouse, then it will definitely be ours." Jing San seemed to be used to big scenes and remained calm about this kind of thing.

Only he knew how fast his heart was beating, and how his feet felt like they were floating when he took a step.

There were simply too many things to transport all at once. Following Yu Meng's instructions, Zhang Zhen sent some of the resources to Xiao Wen's beekeeping base.

"Is it really for us?" Yan Lei circled the car several times.

Liu Wei patted him on the shoulder, "If I don't give it to you, do you think I'll just bring it over for you to see?"

"Brother Liu, did you put in a good word for us? Uncle Wu must be heartbroken to see so much stuff." Yan Lei grinned, wanting to laugh, but then felt that it was too unserious, so he suppressed his smile.
