Chapter 76 Contact of the Second Kind
Chapter 76 First Contact
Ye Qinghan's vacation villa in the suburbs of Gray Core City is a lakeside villa in a forest of fluorescent lights. The architectural style combines modern geometric shapes with neoclassical elements such as metal grille carvings.
There are several reasons why Wang Qing was brought here.
Wang Qing answered a call from an agent from the search bureau who bore the emblem of the Security Council Tower.
Before Wang Qing could speak...
[Based on your SIM card location, you are currently in the suburbs, are you on the run, Wang Qing?]
The voice on the other end of the phone was slow and deliberate, yet extremely authoritative.
Xiao Su gave Wang Qing the most advanced encrypted communication software, which allowed him to switch IP addresses at will and evade professional tracking.
Wang Qing has two SIM cards, one for his college student status and the other for his underworld identity.
When switching to USER identity, the IP address of the other card will automatically patrol the safe zone.
As a student, there is no need for this.
Wang Qing really wanted to say, "You've got me."
But these people are not to be trifled with; the Security Council is the highest authority in the world.
The Demonic Investigation Bureau is a "super agency" that transcends all government and military departments, and it is only responsible to the central government of Heaven.
"Escape? I don't understand what you mean."
Wang Qing turned his head to look at Ye Qinghan.
Ye Qinghan was fishing and told Wang Qing to turn on the loudspeaker. She would intervene in this "interrogation" and bring Wang Qing to the scene. If he couldn't even handle this little thing, he wouldn't need to go back to headquarters; he could stay in Cangzhou for the rest of his life.
She naturally believed that Wang Qing was innocent, but she was worried that the detectives might cause trouble. These people were used to being domineering and had a history of wrongfully killing people.
But in reality, Wang Qing has a much bigger problem.
Logically speaking, an agent of Pei Xuan's rank should not have the authority to investigate him.
Why is your location in the suburbs?
That's because—
Wang Qing observed Ye Qinghan's expression. "Because I'm fishing with my boss."
I see. Ask your supervisor if they mind if I come over?
Pei Xuan was in a hurry and wouldn't wait to be summoned. Speed was of the essence in war, and terrorists wouldn't wait for anyone. But he couldn't say that; he had to put pressure on them.
Ye Qinghan nodded.
She said it was no problem.
Wang Qing answered honestly.
The other party hung up the phone immediately.
"Just tell me the truth later, and also—don't try to be clever."
Ye Qinghan knew a little about Wang Qing's nature, so she couldn't tell the detectives that she had seen a dragon. She couldn't utter a single word, or she would be labeled as an accomplice of Ao Jing and lose her head.
"I know what I'm doing and I can tell the difference between situations."
Wang Qing replied in this way.
But Ye Qinghan found it grating, her brows furrowing slightly. "So, in this situation, my presence doesn't count as anything, is that it?"
Wang Qing's forehead creased with annoyance. "You've really gone too far."
"The care that President Ye has shown me is unprecedented. I am very grateful and consider President Ye to be like an older sister."
Wang Qing outwardly maintained a composed demeanor, but inwardly he was amused by his own amusement. "I can't even handle you, you little brat who hasn't even grown up yet."
To the Demon Lord, Ye Qinghan was indeed a younger woman, around two hundred years old and pretending to be numb.
Ye Feng, who was reading a novel, had a bad feeling. "You've stepped into a minefield, kid. Auntie hates people trying to get close to you. The main problem is that this guy's puppetry talent and assertive style have hit Ye Qinghan's sweet spot. She's really taken a liking to his talent and is willing to spend a fortune to find a good horse. Let's see how Auntie reacts."
The result was slightly unexpected for Ye Feng. Although he felt very uncomfortable, like he had eaten a lemon, Ye Qinghan did not overreact. "When you are working, you must use your job title. If you try to make excuses, I will punish you."
Wang Qing was speechless. What the hell is corporal punishment? Wait until Ren Cui ships his goods next week, then I'll deal with you properly. You caused some trouble for Mercury Group, and I'll punish you accordingly.
Because I need to make money by applying for the patent rights of the cultivation technique through the agency in the future, and also operate the short video platform account of Cang Nan Wang, I will go around causing trouble and slapping the faces of all the martial alliances and sects in Cangzhou to gain traffic and become famous through controversy.
Less than ten minutes.
The roaring and exploding sound of the hovercar's engine could be heard from afar.
The vehicles provided by the Demon Investigation Bureau are all top-of-the-line. Fashion and such are put aside; efficiency is the main concern. In the road planning of all cities, there are special elevated roads specially opened up for the investigation bureau, allowing them to travel freely without any traffic rules.
Calling it a hovercar is inaccurate; it's more like a streamlined aircraft resembling a weaving shuttle.
The aircraft did not park on the ground; it stopped in the air.
The agents of the Investigation Bureau are the elite of the elite, carefully selected by the Heavenly Court, and all are of high quality.
The cabin door was already open in the air.
Agents enjoy a high degree of judicial immunity, and information security regulations are useless to them.
Pei Xuan's divine sense covered a radius of ten kilometers without any problems. Apart from a few servants who maintained the place, there were only three cultivators, two of whom were still important figures at the 21st level.
The people in the makeshift hospital were all shrewd; they laid out their own network, infiltrated upwards, and gradually seized power.
Any major power has people in the Heavenly Court.
I did some research on Ye Qinghan before I came.
The Heavenly Council has two major systems.
One is the Security Council, the organization where Pei Xuan works, which coordinates responses to global challenges such as natural disasters, powerful demons, and demonic elements.
One is the council, which promotes development at all levels, provides a dialogue platform for all local governments and large enterprises, and is an important vehicle for multilateralism.
Ye Qinghan's immediate family members wield considerable influence within the 21st-floor council.
Although it was an official matter handled strictly by the law.
However, Ye Qinghan was still very unhappy with these agents releasing their spiritual sense at will. He did not retaliate, but he did isolate his own energy.
The detectives may not follow the law, but in theory they should still act according to regulations. However, many things only exist on paper.
The key is whether you have enough energy to make the invisible ink visible.
Ye Qinghan's energy is capable of making it visible.
Pei Xuan and Guan Xiaolan stepped out of the aircraft, took a few steps in mid-air, and landed steadily on the boardwalk platform of the lakeside villa.
Wang Qing turned around and looked at the two of them with great interest. "That was fast! They arrived just a few minutes after making the call. The Heavenly Court's private road is the top."
Ye Feng was not allowed to interrupt; he had to stay focused on reading the e-novel.
"This place costs a lot of money every year."
Pei Xuan looked around at the lakeside villa, which had a certain charm, and finally focused his gaze on Wang Qing.
Wang Qingguang was afraid of being intimidated, but it's hard to fake an aura, so he put on black-rimmed glasses to appear refined.
"Please get things done quickly, my schedule is very tight."
Ye Qinghan skipped the company's weekly morning meeting to come. She didn't turn around and continued fishing.
When Guan Xiaolan hid behind Pei Xuan to investigate the Lu family of Cangyan Power, those people were quite nice. This woman was much tougher than them.
Pei Xuan certainly understood the meaning.
Apart from a square-faced man sitting in the corner playing on his phone, there wasn't a single chair. It was clearly a business-like affair, quick and decisive, with no intention of being polite.
"Strictly speaking, Wang Qing's age does not meet the employer's recruitment requirements, and procedurally he is not an employee of Mercury Group. Ms. Ye Qinghan, I will not question you further."
Pei Xuan addressed him by his first name, then added to Wang Qing, "Would you like to see my identification?"
Wang Qing shook his head.
"Then I'll be blunt. There's now evidence that, although you haven't been identified as an accomplice or suspect in the terrorist attack at the Kabukicho Grinding Club three days ago, you're still under suspicion. You're not allowed to leave Graycore City for a month, and you could be summoned at any time. If you leave without applying for the necessary permits, you'll be detained, and the consequences will be severe. Am I clear enough?"
Pei Xuan read from the book and took out a slightly faded notebook and a fountain pen from his pocket.
"I understand, Detective. I will fully cooperate with the investigation department and hope that the criminals will be brought to justice and that positive energy will be promoted."
Wang Qing adjusted his glasses; it was valuable.
He was a master of profound cultivation, and at a glance, he could tell that this person was at the peak of the Core Formation stage, while the silly little girl next to him was at the Foundation Establishment stage.
I've met quite a few high-ranking people these past few days; after all, they're from the Heavenly Court.
If Ye Feng previously only admired Wang Qing, now he truly respects him. This must be the first time he's encountered someone from the Investigation Bureau. Hasn't he heard of their reputation? To be able to hold his own like this, I truly call you the strongest.
Ye Qinghan frowned, telling him not to try to be clever—his righteousness had reached a point of being slippery, but he wasn't entirely wrong.
"Full cooperation—you said it yourself."
Pei Xuan instinctively felt that something was very wrong with Wang Qing. He wore glasses and looked very refined, but he instinctively felt that he was extremely dangerous, even though he had no plausible reason to believe it.
but----
His mind suddenly surged violently, and his divine sense condensed, transforming into a giant arrow of destruction that could instantly vaporize Wang Qing's divine sense, and pressed down on him.
Such a close distance.
Ye Qinghan and Ye Feng were caught off guard and arrived in an instant.
