Fu Youhua returned to Headquarters and quickly stabilized the situation.
With all the high-ranking officials killed, he was left to hold multiple positions.
In this situation, it is impossible to draw personnel from other government departments to serve as administrative commanders.
The Supernatural Control Headquarters is a newly established department, and its operating model is completely different from other places. If a leader is parachuted in and starts giving orders without any adjustment period, it is easy to hinder the operation.
Fu Youhua could only hold onto power with tears in his eyes, working non-stop.
But he felt no fatigue at all, and even felt a little excited.
This situation would have been absolutely impossible in the past, as his ideological awareness has always been very high.
But at this moment, even he himself was unaware of the change in himself.
Zhang Hongwen, who was hiding in the Golden Safe House, has completely lost his mind.
Fu Youhua simply followed standard procedures when questioning him.
Little did they expect that this question would lead to such a major discovery!
"What did you say? You guys actually did that!"
Fu Youhua's eyes widened like copper bells, his mouth gaped open as if he could swallow a fist, his facial muscles stiffened with surprise, and he stood there dumbfounded, completely shocked by the information revealed by Zhang Hongwen. All his words froze into a silent sigh at this moment.
Zhang Hongwen confessed to all the things he had done in collusion with the Secret Peeker, including plotting against each other, vying for power, instigating and inciting, framing someone for murder, and setting up a false accusation.
"I didn't expect so many people to die. Apart from Lu Mou, I don't know what happened to the others. It's probably because that crazy woman went mad..."
Zhang Hongwen spoke incoherently, while Fu Youhua listened with growing shock.
It is now clear that Lu Mou was killed by the Secret Peeker, and the murders of other high-ranking officials may also have been committed by her!
Ultimately, it seems that the root of the problem was caused by Hu Jiu.
But none of that is the main point!
Dealing with the Exorcist came to cause trouble is the most important thing right now!
Fu Youhua originally wanted Hu Jiu to make the trip.
He believed that with Hu Jiu's abilities, he could definitely achieve satisfactory results.
However...
Hu Jiu's family has been kidnapped!
He was in a hurry to save people, and everything else was postponed.
Fu Youhua couldn't bring himself to tell him to put his family aside and focus on his work.
Fortunately, there are other Ghost Tamer at Headquarters that can be mobilized. Zhang Hongwen had already dispatched two Law Enforcer to handle the situation.
Now, Fu Youhua only hopes that the two Law Enforcer can effectively restrain the arrogant Exorcist.
Now.
The Headquarters is located near the hotel where out-of-town Ghost Tamers are hosted.
A large number of Headquarters staff stood ready, and those in the front row righteously and sternly rebuked, "Mr. Robert, please stop your violent behavior immediately. Don't try to run wild on this land, or don't blame us for being impolite!"
"I'm going to act wildly, what can you do to me? How rude can you be to me?"
The man, known as Robert, arrogantly raised his chin. He wore a black suit, had short, straw-like brown hair, a pale face, and features that were sharp yet discordant, with his large mouth being particularly eye-catching.
His lips, in particular, were a murky purplish-black, and the corners of his mouth were slightly upturned, revealing a set of uneven, thin, buck teeth.
Five or six people were lying at his feet.
They were not ordinary people, but Ghost Tamers.
Several of them were on the verge of death.
The leader was a woman whose figure and appearance were unremarkable, except for her outstanding height, which made her stand out even in flat shoes.
At this moment, the woman's face showed an expression of extreme pain, several veins bulged on her forehead, and her back teeth were clenched so tightly they were grinding.
She struggled to resist, but was suppressed by some force and unable to move.
She had absolutely no idea why her group had suddenly been targeted by this foreigner.
Robert completely ignored the Headquarters staff who were trying to project an air of authority, and instead carefully examined a Brooch in his hand.
The Brooch appeared to be made of an unknown material, with a metallic sheen on its surface. A red gemstone was set in it, its color so vibrant it was almost unnatural, like congealed blood, exuding an indescribable eeriness.
The Brooch is decorated with a delicate gold chain along its edge, and under the light, the red gemstones sparkle brilliantly, as if they were ignited with an ominous red glow.
Robert glanced at the woman struggling on the ground with a mocking expression, then spoke fluent Mandarin:
"The China Ghost Tamers are truly disappointing; they couldn't even withstand a single move from me!"
The woman's face flushed red. To lose face in front of foreigners and be mocked like this, a surge of anger welled up inside her.
The loss of control over her emotions caused the Fierce Ghost within her to resurface, and a terrifying aura continuously emanated from the woman.
But Robert simply stomped his foot lightly on the ground.
The woman was instantly subdued; she froze, then raised her head in disbelief.
Robert picked up the Brooch with his fingers, bent down slightly, and asked condescendingly, "Where did you get this?"
The woman refused to speak.
Robert stepped on her face, slowly increasing the pressure.
The cracking and creaking of bones echoed continuously.
But the woman still refused to speak.
She stole the Brooch.
She and her brother are both Ghost Tamers, and their strength is considerable.
The two recruited other Ghost Tamers and formed a small team.
When things were going very well, they even used various means to take down a staff member at Headquarters and turn him into their pawn.
Unfortunately, her good fortune didn't last long. Some time ago, her younger brother was killed while searching for the Vengeful Ghost Puzzle of the Hanged Ghost he was supposed to control!
He's just a child!
Why be so cruel?
The enemy was powerful, and the men the woman sent to kill him were easily dealt with. After that, she did not dare to rush forward to retaliate again, but instead secretly watched and waited for an opportunity to act.
She finally got the opportunity she had been waiting for.
An informant planted at Headquarters coincidentally learned that Headquarters had a large sum of resources to distribute to her enemy.
Even more coincidentally, her hidden contact happened to be one of the delivery personnel.
A golden opportunity is right in front of us, a windfall is falling into our laps, we'd be doing ourselves a disservice if we didn't seize it!
Losing a piece in exchange for a huge amount of resources is well worth it.
The Ruby Brooch is one of the Supernatural Items among these resources.
She personally liked these kinds of sparkly jewelry, so she kept it for herself.
Was it because of this Brooch that I was attacked by this foreigner?
But she clearly didn't wear the Brooch in public!
Robert continued to intensify the torture, asking in a voice only the two of them could hear, "Why do you have something from the Eternal Night Organization? This thing has a backdoor; if you keep it, you'll be in trouble sooner or later."
The woman's pupils contracted, and a chill ran down her spine; she seemed to sense a conspiracy.
But she remained silent; plundering resources was hardly a glorious thing.
Robert seemed to have completely lost his patience and was about to stomp down hard.
At the critical moment, a furious shout came from afar:
"Stop!"
