Why did you provoke me?

Jing Ancheng noticed Mr. Feng looking at him strangely. He quickly walked to the table, organized his notes, and pushed them in front of Mr. Feng.

"Mr. Feng, I'll go check it out. We need to be careful they don't try anything funny."

Before Mr. Feng could speak, Jing Ancheng had already jogged out of the room.

Jing Ancheng stopped after running quite a distance. As expected of a big shot, his eyes seemed to know all his thoughts, but he didn't say anything, just watched you perform.

In fact, Jing Ancheng's thinking was not wrong. Yu Meng was not interested in the fourth battlefield. If there were enough benefits to be exchanged, Yu Meng would really agree.

But things are different now. The message sent by Secretary Wu clearly stated that orders had been issued from above, and Jingchuan would be responsible for the security of the fourth battlefield.

In other words, even if the fourth battlefield is sold, the security issue still rests with Jingchuan.

Moreover, you have to do your best and not complain.

In this way, it would be better to keep the fourth battlefield in our own hands, since it's only right to take care of what's ours.

Jing Ancheng clearly hadn't received such a notification; otherwise, the bespectacled man would have taken his words seriously. If he had actually bought the Fourth Battlefield and then used Jingchuan as free labor, Jing Ancheng would probably have had to die to atone for his sins.

Nangong Tianshou arrived at the fourth battlefield on the second day.

Listening to Mr. Feng's story, he sighed, "Now we can't get rid of this hot potato."

Mr. Feng asked in confusion, "What do you mean? Does she really intend to sell herself?"

Nangong Tianshou nodded. "You haven't had much contact with her. Apart from improving her strength, she doesn't care much about anything else. If she knew that many people were eyeing the Fourth Battlefield, she would definitely sell it out. But that's not possible now."

He recounted in detail the information that Secretary Wu had obtained.

Mr. Feng remained silent, pondering the matter carefully. "From this perspective, it seems to be the result of a scheme orchestrated by certain individuals."

"Old Wu and I thought so too, but the question is, what's in the fourth battlefield? How did we end up tying Jingchuan to this vehicle?"

Mr. Feng also fell silent, then looked at Nangong Tianshou strangely, "Is your Jingchuan really that strong? Can a single force guarantee the safety of an entire battlefield?"

Nangong Tianshou shook his head, "Its predecessor was the Jingchuan Base. After the base was disbanded, it was bought by some old people, and some people without homes also stayed. It doesn't have any strength."

"Then, why did Brother Nangong go there?"

"Sigh, I was saved by Yu Meng when I was about to die. She didn't look down on me because I was a freeloader, so I stayed with her."

"Oh, what a life-saving grace! I knew it! With Brother Nangong's great talent, how could he be stuck in such a small place?"

Nangong Tianshou waved his hand, "Don't say that. If I had great talent, I wouldn't be in a situation where I need someone to save my life."

Mr. Feng smiled faintly, "Anyone may encounter an accident, but if you can still meet someone to save you after the accident, that is your good fortune."

"Brother Feng, you see things very clearly."

"We learned our lesson the hard way, and that's how we gained experience!"

Nangong Tianshou laughed and changed the subject. "I brought the Illusion Pearl, shall we go interrogate those people now?"

"Illusionary Pearl? What's that? Can I take a look?" Mr. Feng had genuinely never heard of such a thing.

"It's a technique used by bone-drawing masters. You'll see its effects in a moment. To be honest, I've never seen it myself. Yu Meng specifically instructed that ordinary people shouldn't look at it, as they'll become addicted and it could be fatal."

Mr. Feng listened to the advice and said, "Then let's go and experience this wonderful thing."

Qian Chuan and Huang Yan followed behind them, walking together towards a secluded courtyard.

There were three people in the room, all bound with thick ropes. Nangong Tianshou waved his hand, separating the people for interrogation.

Huang Yan used lines to control the magic bead to sway a few times in front of a person, and the person's eyes began to glaze over.

"Alright, just ask whatever you want. Don't be so harsh." Huang Yan slipped away.

Mr. Feng felt a black and white sphere flash past his eyes, and he felt dizzy.

Remembering Nangong Tianshou's words, he quickly closed his eyes.

A sense of apprehension crept into my heart. Was the Bone Painter's skill really that strong? How come I never noticed it before?

Nangong Tianshou also glanced at it curiously, but then felt a sudden tightness in his chest and a strong sense of nausea, almost causing him to faint.

He kept his mouth tightly shut and struggled to support himself.

Qian Chuan noticed his unusual behavior and gently massaged his temples with his fingers.

"Uncle Nangong, you've come such a long way, you should have rested for a while before coming here. When we get back, I'll prepare some medicine for you."

At this moment, Nangong Tianshou had no mind to respond to him and remained motionless with his eyes closed.

Huang Yan walked over and put something into his hand.

"Even I dare not stare at this illusionary pearl. Uncle Nangong, did you peek at it just now?"

Nangong Tianshou wanted to shake his head, but he didn't; instead, he nodded.

"I knew it would be like this. Teacher Yu's products are incredibly effective. I specifically told you, but you still didn't believe me and insisted on trying it." Huang Yan complained, but her hands were busy stuffing something into Nangong's mouth.

The cool sensation entered his mouth, suppressing the nausea in his chest. Nangong Tianshou took a deep breath, "You little brat, you're even interfering with me now."

Huang Yan snorted and didn't say anything more.

"What did you just give me to eat? Do you have any more? Give me a few more." Nangong Tianshou was not polite at all when he encountered good things.

Huang Yan covered her small backpack. "Teacher Yu said you can't eat too much of this. She told me to give it to you at the right time."

Qian Chuan watched Huang Yan's performance with a smile; he was the one who had given her that item. He was just worried that something unexpected might happen to Nangong Tianshou. He hadn't expected that mentioning Teacher Yu would actually work.

Nangong listened to the advice and, upon hearing that it was Yu Meng who was against it, stopped insisting.

Mr. Feng ignored what was happening here; he was looking through the results of the interrogation.

He was deeply unsettled; he hadn't expected the magic bead to be so effective. He figured if you asked that person what color underwear they wore, they'd probably tell you.

The troublemakers were a small faction from a city near the Fourth Battlefield, and they were under the command of a man called Wolf Lord.

The goal was to create chaos and send something to the doorstep of the Fourth Battlefield.

I asked three people, and they all had the same purpose.

Mr. Feng followed the list they provided and the locations where the items were buried. Those who needed to be arrested were arrested, and those who needed to find the items were found.

In just one day, they caught most of the moles in the team. They also had the items examined, and they turned out to be alien lures, the highest concentration kind.

Looking at the interrogation statements and the lubricant, Mr. Feng and Nangong Tianshou knew that things were not simple.

Mr. Feng only said one sentence, "It seems that the second and third battlefields were also created by humans."

Nangong Tianshou nodded. "Everything points to that Wolf Lord. Let's capture him first, question him, and then we'll discuss other matters."

"This man has big ambitions! I just don't know what he's after." Mr. Feng also became interested. No one had ever schemed against him before, and he remained unmoved.
