Is it difficult to evolve your beast?

Chapter 59 Contradictions

Jiang Feng's mind was in turmoil. The other party was following them, but did not attack her. Instead, they attacked Zhang Ran later.

Does this mean the other party has no ill intentions towards her? Are they just Zhang Ran's enemy?

It's not surprising that someone like Zhang Ran would have a few enemies outside.

"He died very peacefully in the car. We are currently investigating what kind of magical beast's ability caused it. It could be a mental magical beast or a dark-attribute magical beast."

"He passed away not long after I called you." With that, the day's inquiry ended.

"This is my contact information. If you remember anything else later, or if Gray Cloud Wolf remembers anything else, please feel free to contact us anytime."

Outside, Zhao Jiao also arrived.

Yesterday, General Ji told her to be careful of the people in the Administration Bureau, saying that there was a traitor in the Administration Bureau.

The Police Station - Beastmaster Special Affairs Center is an organization under the Administration Bureau.

As the name suggests, the Administration Bureau manages all matters related to Beast Tamers within the country.

Zhao Jiao was on duty at the military base today, wearing a military uniform. She was standing at the entrance when she encountered several policemen in civilian clothes.

"Sister Jiao!" Jiang Feng greeted Zhao Jiao when he saw her.

Several police officers saluted her, and Zhao Jiao returned the salute before asking, "May I ask what brings you gentlemen here to see classmate Jiang Feng?"

"You should all know what happened yesterday. Jiang Feng is currently under protection."

Yesterday, a sixth-tier ferocious beast infiltrated Jinyang City.

General Ji fought against a sixth-tier ferocious beast and ultimately emerged victorious.

Almost all beast tamers will receive this message.

However, for ordinary people, last night was just an ordinary night.

"We had already applied when we came."

"It's related to a beast tamer named Zhang Ran that Jiang Feng often comes into contact with. He used to be from your military region."

They will then need to go to the military region to retrieve some of Zhang Ran's records from his time in the military.

"Zhang Ran?" Zhao Jiao knew information about everyone around Jiang Feng, so she naturally knew about Zhang Ran as well.

However, Zhang Ran happened to be with Jiang Feng's parents before they died, and they knew him.

Then Jiang Feng's parents gave their spatial key to Zhang Ran, asking Zhang Ran to give the item to Jiang Feng when he turned fifteen.

"By the way, did he return all of your parents' inheritance to you?" Zhao Jiao asked. "Before your parents passed away, they lived very close to him and gave him the spatial key they always carried with them."

Zhao Jiao didn't say what she said when she was fifteen. Although it was a very simple sentence, it meant that she wanted the other party to give Jiang Feng those cultivation resources after he became a beast tamer.

If Jiang Feng is still young, those things are useless to her.

"Space button?"

"When I asked him about his parents' inheritance, he spoke in a very strange tone and hesitated."

"Later, all those things were moved back at night, except for the flying rats that the Gray Cloud Wolf loves to eat, and this huge box of magic stones."

"I lied to him and said I had the list my mother had written down, and he lied to me and said he didn't know what was in the warehouse."

Now that Zhang Ranren has passed away and Zhao Jiao has come to his side, Jiang Feng felt he could tell Zhao Jiao about what happened that day.

With her current resources, she may not be able to dig any deeper. Over the years, the only person she has come into contact with is Zhang Ran.

But it's possible with the police, and it's also possible with Zhao Jiao and General Ji.

This was a private matter between him and Zhang Ran, so there was no need to tell the police.

"When did you discover that Zhang Ran had misappropriated the money your parents left you?"

The police asked.

"May 17th."

"The day before I awakened, he came to give me a birthday present and told me that my parents had left something for me."

"But he didn't bring it to me; instead, he said he would give it to me after I awakened."

After Jiang Feng finished speaking, the three policemen opposite him nodded knowingly.

That is indeed a problem.

Isn't this girl a little too perceptive?

"I felt something was very wrong at the time. If it was an inheritance left to me by my parents, why did they have to wait for me to awaken? Regardless of whether they succeeded or not, shouldn't they have given me the things on the day my parents and he agreed upon?"

After saying this, Jiang Feng sighed: "Then I tentatively mentioned that my mother had left me a list."

Of course, not all of this is true.

But none of them are lies, only the order is a little off.

"He still says he'll wait until I awaken to my full potential, then celebrate my birthday and give me my parents' gifts."

Jiang Feng repeatedly mentioned the word "awakening" in order to alert Zhao Jiao.

"Afterwards, when we went to the restaurant, he actually tried to get Gray Cloud Wolf to leave." This is something I didn't mention earlier.

She had a conflict with Zhang Ran, but before Zhao Jiao arrived, she felt she shouldn't reveal too much to the police.

But after Zhao Jiao arrived, Jiang Feng made a bolder attempt. What she said seemed to be for the police, but was actually meant for Zhao Jiao.

The police weren't particularly interested in the conflict between Jiang Feng and Zhang Ran: "You're very smart, Jiang Feng."

"However, regarding your parents' inheritance—if we make further breakthroughs elsewhere and are able to confirm that those items were left by your parents, we will contact you again."

The police have already left the ward.

Thank you for your cooperation.

"Goodbye." Jiang Feng waved to them, and after they left, Zhao Jiao came back to her senses.

She looked at Jiang Feng and then asked, "You just said that Zhang Ran mentioned several times that he would give you your parents' things after you awaken?"

"Yes, he agreed very readily at the time, and I didn't think much of it."

"Later, after I successfully awakened, when we were having dinner together, he started to back down and wanted me to go again tomorrow."

As Jiang Feng spoke, the Gray Cloud Wolf beside him nodded and then revealed a fierce look.

Jiang Feng smiled and patted the gray cloud wolf's head, then walked to where the flying rats were and gave the gray cloud wolf a flying rat to eat.

"Did he give you a spatial button?" Spatial buttons are still extremely precious items.

Human technology regressed by at least a thousand years in the period following the arrival of the mythical beasts.

Countless precious documents and countless outstanding scientists perished in the chaos.

Unfortunately, scientists are relatively fragile. Top scientists can be protected in time, but a discipline or technology cannot be fully supported by just a few people.

Therefore, humans are no longer able to create the same kind of spatial buttons as before. The new technology for creating spatial buttons using spatial attribute magical beasts is not yet mature and has a high failure rate.

This has led to the persistently high price of space buttons.

"No." Jiang Feng sighed.

Zhao Jiao reached out and patted her head, saying, "I'll call the police station and see if it's among his belongings."

Jiang Feng became excited. If there was a space button, doing anything would become much more convenient!

Unfortunately, after finishing the call, Zhao Jiao looked at Jiang Feng with regret: "All his belongings were taken away, and the room is spotless."

"It's like I was originally planning to leave here."
