A rollback after death? Then let them offer their loyalty!

Chapter 31 Crisis

Lin Yu changed his clothes and went out. When he arrived at the police station, the conference room was already full of people.

The atmosphere was heavy.

Shen Bing stood in the main seat, her face cold and stern.

Lin Yu found a corner to sit down, and heard the voices of the agents discussing among himself.

Shen Bing tapped the table: "Quiet."

The meeting room fell silent instantly.

"I just received the news," Shen Bing said, her voice deep.

"Director Chen Tianxiong died last night while in seclusion at the martial arts school due to a backlash from a strange object."

The audience erupted in chaos:

"What?!"

"Director Chen is dead?!"

"How is that possible?!"

Shen Bing raised her hand to silence the murmurs.

"The body that the martial arts school's security team found this morning has been identified."

There were residual energy fluctuations from the Crimson Dragon Crystal at the scene, which was initially determined to be an energy rampage caused by a containment failure.

She paused, her gaze sweeping across the audience.

"Chief Chan's death is a major loss to the police department! But at a time like this, we must maintain stability."

From this moment forward, I will temporarily assume the duties of Commissioner and take full responsibility for the work of the police station. All departments shall continue to operate as usual and shall not slack off.

In addition, the Criminal Investigation Team will conduct further investigations into the cause of Director Chen's death.

Report any leads immediately.

After speaking, Shen Bing looked at Old Chen:

"Team Leader Chen, you're in charge of leading the team to the martial arts school to re-examine the scene."

Old Chen nodded: "Understood."

Shen Bing paused, then added:

"There's one more thing."

The Ninth Nature Reserve Management Bureau has received word that the investigation team will arrive in Jiangcheng no later than the day after tomorrow. Everyone is prepared to cooperate fully and there must be no mishaps.

Another commotion erupted from the audience.

An investigation team—this means the regulatory authority is going to get involved.

Shen Bing raised her hand and gestured: "Meeting adjourned."

The crowd gradually got up and left.

Just as Lin Yu was about to get up, Shen Bing called out to him, "Lin Yu, stay here."

After everyone had left, Shen Bing went back to her desk and sat down.

She looked at Lin Yu, her gaze complex.

"sit."

Lin Yu sat down opposite him.

Shen Bing remained silent for a few seconds before speaking:

"Chen Tianxiong is dead, and the investigation team is coming." She paused. "Jiangcheng will be in chaos for a while."

Lin Yu did not respond:

"The robbery case I had you investigate before is no longer important. Now I need someone who can get things done."

Shen Bing looked at Lin Yu with a serious expression:

"You're quick-witted and capable. From today onwards, I'm officially bringing you into the core of the investigation team, under my direct management."

"Work hard, and I won't treat you unfairly."

Lin Yu raised an eyebrow. What the heck? He'd been promoted from a criminal to a real detective? Was Shen Bing planning to groom him into a trusted confidant?

However, Lin Yu was very curious about what kind of expression Shen Bing would have when she found out that he was the one who killed Chen Tianxiong.

Without giving it much thought, Lin Yu stood up and saluted: "Thank you for your appreciation, Director!"

Shen Bing waved her hand: "Go out and get some rest. You'll be busy starting tomorrow."

Lin Yu got up and left.

The door closed, and the corridor was empty.

Lin Yu leaned against the wall and slowly exhaled.

The investigation team is coming.

The people in the management bureau aren't as easily fooled as Shen Bing.

Moreover, with Chen Tianxiong dead, it's time for the players behind him to make their move.

Lin Yu's eyes turned cold. He figured he'd deal with whatever came his way.

He turned around, went downstairs, and drove home.

Twenty minutes later, Lin Yu arrived at his doorstep.

When I opened the door, there was only one wall lamp on in the living room, casting a dim, yellowish light on the floor.

Anna sat on the sofa, holding a cushion in her arms, her tail swaying gently behind her.

Hearing the noise, she turned her head, her crimson cat eyes shining in the dim light.

"Master is back." She put down the cushion and walked over barefoot.
