It just goes to show that things are unpredictable.

If nothing unexpected happens, this Iron Armored Dragon Egg was stolen by Luo Feng in City No. 003 after the Iron Armored Dragon was lured away by a human war god.

Furthermore, according to the original plot, he also killed Li Wei in this incident, thus incurring the wrath of Li Wei's parents and being hunted down by Li Yao and Winona Polenas.

Because he hadn't been exposed at the beginning, in order to avoid being associated with himself, Luo Feng had to disguise his identity and travel from Jiangnan Base City to Tianjing to sell the dragon egg.

Lin Yan thought that Li Wei had offended him last time and ended up in prison, but he had escaped this time. He was lucky.

However, even under these circumstances, Luo Feng still chose to come to Tianjing to deal with the dragon egg, which shows how cautious he was.

Lin Yan sighed inwardly.

Better safe than sorry; I should learn from him.

He looked at Liu Mingxuan and asked, "What happened to Li Wei, who was with Wang Xing'an last time?"

Liu Mingxuan's expression was somewhat strange.

"Afterwards, his mother protested to us in the name of the HR Alliance because there was no direct evidence that they were involved in the murder, so in the end they had to be released."

"However, after he left, he went to City No. 003. Last week, he had an accident in the Wilderness Area. It is said that he and his bodyguards were all killed by an unknown martial artist or Mental Master. His parents even offered a reward of 100 billion to find the murderer."

Lin Yan's lips twitched.

They're back... they're all back...

You deserve it, kid!

That's just your fate!

Why are you going to City No. 003 instead of going to jail?

Why don't they learn from their mistakes?

However, Li Wei was the kind of person who was dead and that was fine; he didn't care. He was like that when he was in the Security Bureau, and Lin Yan never inquired about his situation.

I couldn't be bothered to ask.

Chu Wei was holding the dragon egg, his face beaming with a smile. He looked like he was drooling, and anyone who didn't know better would think he was holding a lover.

He touched the eggshell with both hands.

Lin Yan laughed and said, "I'm saying that even if you like something, there should be a limit. You can't carry it around with you every day, it's not convenient."

Chu Wei stared intently at the blue dragon egg and replied, "Sure, why not? I've received a transfer order from above. After today, I'll be working in a different department, and I, Old Chu, will be an office worker from now on."

Jia Yan was taken aback. "You changed departments too?"

"That's a novel idea of yours. Would I lie to you?" Chu Wei said, only realizing his mistake halfway through, and looked at him. "What do you mean by 'also'?"

Chen Lian, Bu Xiangyang, Bu Wenxing, and Li Tao all had strange expressions, and they looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Has everyone been reassigned?"

Chu Wei stuffed the dragon egg into his backpack, set it aside, and said excitedly.

Jia Yan said, "It looks like we'll all be working together again."

"I was told by my superior that the scope of this reshuffle was quite large, and that several special operations departments were even disbanded and then all of them were incorporated into a new department after personnel adjustments."

"He didn't know which department it was, he only knew that the move by the higher-ups this time was very big."

Liu Mingxuan's narrow eyes swept over Lin Yan.

He knew, though others didn't.

He was present at the scene that night, and in fact, Councilor Deng Jun also conveyed to him the order to join the Heaven Department, and even gave him a piece of Jade Marrow as compensation for not being able to join the Elite Training Camp.

Spots in the Elite Training Camp are already hard to come by, and even if Lin Yan hadn't squeezed them out, it wouldn't necessarily have been their turn. So what kind of compensation is there?

He had never heard of Jade Marrow before, and only after learning about Jade Marrow effects did he realize what a treasure it was.

He's not stupid.

Part of the reason was that he valued his own talent, but the majority of the reason was probably because of his familiar relationship with Lin Yan's influence.

The thought of Councilor Deng told him—that Lin Yan was now High-level War God's Mental Master —still haunted him.

This guy is really...

However, he has always been a miracle, so there's no need to be surprised, is there?

Chu Wei exclaimed, "Liu Mingxuan is now learning swordsmanship under Councilor Deng, and Lin Yan has also become a trainee in the Elite Training Camp. They will both be in the new department from now on. If anything happens, remember to tell me. I have deep roots and connections, so I will take care of everyone."

It seems that the Chu Family and Chu Qiang haven't told him about their affairs yet.

He was also unaware of the new department's authority and purpose.

I specialize in dealing with people who have deep roots and connections!

Lin Yan smiled and said, "Brother Wei, let's not talk about that now, let's order."

He didn't plan to be honest with them directly, thinking that their expressions when they saw him would be quite interesting.

"Everyone has already ordered, I'll have them serve the food now. Lin Yan, is there anything you'd like to add?"

Lin Yan didn't stand on ceremony and added two more dishes.

The waiters began serving the dishes, and they moved to the banquet hall on the other side.

Chu Wei is now both human and egg, a perfect unity of man and egg.

Who ordered the main course?

"Hurry up, take it away quickly."

"Chen Lian, let me tell you, you need to get rid of this bad habit. You can get full even if you only eat lobster!"

Lin Yan sighed, "The whole style has changed."

Men who fulfill their dreams are truly terrifying.

February 26th.

The main urban area of Tianjing Base City, Shi Family.

"We are from the Heaven Division Special Operations Office. I am Xiao Sheng, the leader of Group One. We need Mr. Shi Qingming's cooperation to assist in the investigation."

A man dressed in specially made combat gear spoke to the Shi Family's butler.

The steward's heart sank when he heard the name of the Heaven Department.

This new department, established on February 1st, has caused a huge uproar in Tianjing in just one month, and the waves are gradually spreading beyond Tianjing to the entire country.

Initially, everyone thought that this so-called higher-level department of the Security Bureau was just a simple internal organizational restructuring.

But that's not actually the case.

From unscrupulous tycoons to corrupt officials and martial artists, this department has demonstrated astonishing execution and decisiveness.

They also demonstrated a will that exceeded their expectations.

Under the law, everyone is equal.

For a long time, this statement was laughable, because in this era belonging to martial artists, fists were more important than reason.

But now there is such a department that uses its fists to make everyone believe in its doctrines.

The butler's voice held a hint of anger. "Aren't you already full of complaints? Now you want to ride roughshod over the Shi Family?"

It's one thing for you to discipline those martial artists who came from humble backgrounds, but who is the Shi Family? How dare they act like this?

Xiao Sheng said, "This is the decision of the higher-ups. All the relevant documents are complete. You have no choice but to refuse."

A handsome man walked out at this moment. He wore a pair of gold-rimmed glasses and had a cold look in his eyes.

"Since Team Leader Xiao has put it this way, of course I will accompany you on this trip."

Xiao Sheng nodded. "Thank you for your understanding, Mr. Shi."

"Young Master!" the butler tried to dissuade him.

Shi Qingming shook his head. "It's alright. I'm upright and honest. This Heaven Department Building isn't Purgatory on earth, so there's nothing I can't go to."

Xiao Sheng sighed, "If all the suspects we arrest were as reasonable as Mr. Shi, things would be much easier."

Shi Qingming glanced at the sunlight and said nothing more.

They got into the car. Shi Qingming sat alone in the back seat, Xiao Sheng sat in the passenger seat, and several other vehicles from the Special Operations Office followed behind.

Looking at the street scene flashing past the window, Shi Qingming calmly said, "For wealthy merchants, officials, martial artists, and even our family, the Heaven Department seems to be a very idealistic organization."

"Everyone is equal before the law; it's been a long time since anyone said that."

Xiao Sheng laughed and said, "Idealistic?"

Xiao Sheng used to be the head of the action section of the 3rd Special Division. The 3rd, 7th, 12th and 14th Special Divisions were all broken up and reorganized into the Heaven Department after personnel adjustments. He was then assigned as the leader of the first group of the Special Operations Office.

When they first met the mysterious minister, everyone was stunned. It was truly shocking that a young minister with absolutely no qualifications would appear in a department of this level.

But this shock intensified after learning the minister's thoughts.

He actually wants to rewrite the existing underlying rules!

They weren't young people fresh out of school, so they naturally understood that people in this world are different.

Although books say that everyone is equal, it is very difficult to actually implement this principle.

Some people can only obey the law and follow all kinds of rules, but in the end, disaster still strikes out of nowhere.

Some people can find plenty of beautiful women, break the law, beat people, and even kill people, and all get away with it.

Some people can destroy a family with a single sentence. A single sentence can bring someone a bright future, and even a martial artist can only bow down in submission.

That is the basis of the world's social classes.

This didn't happen overnight, and they've gotten used to it.

But the young minister was not used to it. His idea was that no matter how things changed, the standards of the law should not change, and social stability should not change.

The privileges of martial artists must never be used to trample on the human rights of ordinary people.

"I'm here to set the rules, so they must listen to my rules, and you must listen to them too."

"This time, there will be a lot of bloodshed, and the pain will be so intense that they will never forget it. I don't have any lenient methods. Perhaps I thought of them before, but after seeing these files, I don't have any."

"These documents are all records from the Security Bureau. I need you to verify them as quickly as possible, and then I will assign you tasks."

Xiao Sheng thought of what the young minister named Lin Yan had said when they first met, and he had indeed done just that.

During this period, the phones of the Security Bureau and the Heaven Department were ringing off the hook with calls from leaders at all levels, but he always patiently answered those calls and continued to push forward with the goal as always.

I have never wavered in my beliefs.

"If you had asked me this a month ago, I would have given you a positive answer. It certainly looked like an idealized organization."

"But now it's different, because we have truly seen the possibility of success."

Xiao Sheng said firmly, "Some things can't be done, not because they are truly impossible, but because we haven't met the right person, and our leader is just such a person."

Shi Qingming nodded.

"Then I'm actually looking forward to this trip to the Heaven Department."

Xiao Sheng said, "If you don't break the law, you can certainly expect good things to come. But if you do, I'm afraid you won't have a good ending."

The vehicle was parked at the Heaven Department Building.

Shi Qingming looked at the 12-story office building in front of him. It looked Pingping, but it was the center of attention in the entire Yue Tianjing.

Xiao Sheng led him inside, Shi Qingming found that the people there were in good spirits, each one looking energetic and busy with their own tasks.

They got into the elevator and went up to the 11th floor.

The sign outside the door reads "Minister's Office".

Xiao Sheng knocked on the door, and soon a beautiful woman with a cool expression and a shrewd and capable look opened the door. She was dressed in a black military uniform and asked, "Shi Qingming?"

Xiao Sheng replied, "Yes, Secretary Song."

Secretary Song gestured for him to come in. "Hello Mr. Shi, the minister is waiting for you."

Shi Qingming breathed a sigh of relief and went inside.

Behind the desk, a young man looked up. His military uniform was different from the others, adorned with gold thread and exquisite patterns, making him look more dignified.

His eyes shone like stars, sparkling brightly; he was spirited and handsome, with a refined and elegant demeanor.

"Please sit down."

Secretary Song poured Shi Qingming a cup of tea before Lin Yan asked, "Young Master Shi, what have you decided?"

"I need evidence of Shi Yin's crimes, and what I can give you is the entire Shi Family."

His gaze was intense.

Thanks to Stars and Clouds for the 1500-point reward, withered maples on a cold rainy night, Ryric for the 500-point reward, the sunny sun and snowy 200-point reward, and book friend 20190621154652018 for the reward

I've been having a lot of bad luck with updates lately, I'm really sorry, I've been experiencing severe writer's block.
