The Professional Rankings, in twelve volumes, each bearing the name of my lord.

Yunshan City, suburbs, Yunshan Life Science Research Institute.

Wan Jianyi, dressed in a black suit and wearing black sunglasses, stood in mid-air with his arms crossed and a silver longsword under his feet, staring at the research institute in front of him.

A large number of personnel from the Special Affairs Bureau and the Law Enforcement Department have arrived and are moving in and out of the research institute to arrest relevant personnel.

A few hours later.

When Wang Miao came to report, he found that Wan Jianyi was still in the same place, and even the height of the silver sword under his feet above the ground and his posture had not changed. Wang Miao admired his composure.

"Chief Wan, everyone in the research institute has been taken away, and the equipment has been sealed up. However, no mutant beasts have been found."

"If the Dark Compass is helping them, they must have done a very clean job. It will be difficult to find direct evidence. By examining their experimental data, they can be convicted using indirect evidence."

"Yes, and also, one person is missing."

"Zhao Wuji? All of the Zhao family's assets and influence will be liquidated soon. He's just a lone commander; he can't stir up any trouble. He'll be caught sooner or later."

"No, it's that one of the scientists in the research institute is missing, a woman named Xiao Wei."

Wan Jianyi raised an eyebrow slightly.

"Xiao Wei, I know her. She got her PhD in biology at sixteen. She's a genius. She disappeared for ten years, and it turns out she's been working for the Zhao family all this time..."

It's strange. Even if the Zhao family helped her create a fake identity, the Federation shouldn't have been completely unable to find any clues when they wanted to find her before, unless someone from heaven helped her create a fake one.

Although she is not a combat professional, she is a smart person. Catching her would probably be more troublesome than catching Zhao Wuji. Search the research institute carefully inside and out to see if there are any secret passages or secret rooms.

If she is found, she must not be harmed. The federal government has issued a strict order that she must be found unharmed!

"Yes...right, Chief Wan, here's yours back."

Wang Miao took out a "Heaven and Earth Symbol" card.

It was the Chaos Wizard he had used to fight Zhao Wuji.

Wan Jian pointed a finger lightly, and a gentle breeze blew by, causing Wang Miao to retract his outstretched hand.

"It's for you."

"It's too valuable, I can't accept it."

"If that's the case, consider it my 'headhunting fee'."

"I don't understand what you mean."

"I want to poach you from the Yunshan City branch to the Shangjing City administrative district headquarters."

Wang Miao was overjoyed, but on the surface, he tried his best not to lose his composure.

"Can I be your team member?"

Wan Jianyi revealed a domineering CEO smile.

"Can't."

Wang Miao felt a slight sense of disappointment.

As expected, I was too weak and not qualified to be a teammate of the Chief Investigation Division.

Wan Jianyi continued, "I want you to lead a team on your own. Your abilities and qualities are wasted in Yunshan City. Go to headquarters; there are more suitable missions for you there."

Wang Miao was overjoyed and immediately saluted.

"Yes, sir! Mission accomplished!"

Wan Jianyi still wore that domineering CEO smile.

"A promotion is certainly something to be happy about, but one must be prepared to face more challenges and dangers."

Wang Miao's gaze was firm.

"I am willing to give my life at any time in the fight against Dark Star!"

Where is your child?

Wang Miao's face trembled, and her eyes became slightly moist.

"I choose to fight to the end!"

Wan Jianyi nodded slightly.

"I didn't misjudge you. But then again, at your age, this level is too low. You should train more in the restricted area in the future."

"The strength of the creatures in the forbidden zone..."

"Someone will guide you."

"Yes."

Wang Miao thought for a moment and said, "Chief Wan, if I lead a team in Shangjing City, can I recruit team members myself?"

"Yes, but no more than two. The remaining slots will be allocated by the General Administration; that's the rule."

"Two... are enough."

……

"Whoosh!"

Above the endless cornfields.

The Song hexagram flew by like a gust of wind.

The level 60 artifact, the Boots of Mystery, grants the user the ability to fly, and if additional mana is consumed, it can further increase speed.

"Where did that bastard Zhao Wuji run off to?"

Although Song Gua arranged for a small team to chase after Zhao Wuji when he ran away.

But Zhao Wuji ran too fast.

Otherwise, Wan Jianyi wouldn't have been unable to stop the Beast King just because he appeared.

Therefore, the team sent out by Song Gua also lost track of them.

But the general direction is correct.

The Song hexagram is pursuing this direction.

According to information obtained from the branch office located in Yunshan City, the Zhao family's assets, residence, and clan members are all currently under liquidation.

Even the guilds controlled by the Zhao family were affected, with all guild activities restricted.

Zhao Wuji would definitely not go to the city center; if he went back now, it would be like walking into a trap.

Song Gua speculated that he was probably going to go outside the city to avoid trouble.

"Doraemon said Zhao Wuji's location is here, but why can't I find him?"

Song Gua didn't know if Miss Butterfly had installed a tracking device on Zhao Wuji, or some other high-tech device, but she actually knew Zhao Wuji's real-time location.

But Zhao Wuji kept running.

So Miss Butterfly kept telling Song Gua his latest location.

But just now, Miss Butterfly's call was disconnected.

After Song Gua called back, it indicated that the number was invalid.

The Federation may have taken action against Miss Butterfly.

Even so, there's no need to worry about the Federation finding Song Gua's phone.

On the one hand, the telecommunications system in this world does not require real-name registration, so even if you find a mobile phone, you won't know who is using it.

On the other hand, Miss Butterfly actually used her own communication channel to contact the bandits, not the Blue Star base station.

The signal was cut off, which may mean that the frequency band she was using was discovered by the Federation. Either the Federation destroyed it, or Miss Butterfly destroyed it to protect herself.

Helpless, Song Gua now had no choice but to find Zhao Wuji himself.

"Just a minute ago, they were in this cornfield; they shouldn't have run very far."

Zhao Wuji escaped from the research institute at an extremely high speed because he used a prop.

But he can't stay that fast forever.

Song Gua discovered that there were some corn stalks that had been knocked down in the cornfield below.

He immediately fell down.

"The crack is very new; it was broken off not long ago. There are animal footprints, and they're so big, it couldn't have been from a farmland. This must be Zhao Wuji's mount."

Zhao Wuji did not have a flying mount; his mount was a large creature that resembled an ox.

"Hehe, got you! Brother Huo, burn him!"

Fire Brother jumped out from Song Gua's body, his hands spitting fire as he soared into the air, flying back and forth over the cornfield. The flames from his palms were aimed at the field, and the fire raged.

The clones overlapping Song Gua chattered away.

"This Zhao Wuji is really good at holding back! He's so angry but he doesn't even flinch. He's like a Ninja Turtle!"

"Is he not in here?"

"If we go any further ahead from here, we'll reach the city walls. If he leaves the city, we won't need to look for him anymore; it'll be like finding a needle in a haystack."

"Zhao Wuji, come out here! Here's Johnny! (Grinning)"

"How did Zhang Wei get in here?"

As the clones chattered amongst themselves, an angry roar erupted from the flames.

"Bandits!! Can't you spare my life?! Why are you so determined to kill me?!"
