Third Category Bureau

It wasn't until it reached 120% that the energy increase stopped.

Su Ti was surprised. This spine worm actually provided him with 60% energy.

Although this was the least amount of energy he had ever obtained, far less than what he got from the Cursed Antique, it was also the first time he had obtained energy from something other than a Cursed Antique. This was undoubtedly a major breakthrough!

This meant that his method of obtaining energy was no longer limited to Cursed Antiques, but he had gained a new channel.

Not only that, but thinking deeper, both the strange worm and the Cursed Antique could provide him with energy. There must be some common connection between the two!

If he could figure out this problem, then perhaps he could even understand the essence of the energy absorbed by the modifier!

Thinking of this, Su Ti felt a faint excitement in his heart. Cursed Antiques were already difficult to collect, but if he could figure out the essence of the energy absorbed by the modifier, perhaps he could obtain energy in large quantities and improve his martial arts.

However, this thought was just a fleeting one. Su Ti quickly restrained himself and didn't think deeply about it, because now was not the time to consider these things.

His most important goal now was to save people.

At this time, the two robbers, Wang Jiu and Lian Wei, had already been killed by him. No one could stop him anymore. Su Ti strode to the minivan, opened the sliding door, and the unconscious Su Qiaoqiao and Su Yuwei came into view.

Seeing the two lying on the back seat, but breathing evenly and only unconscious, without any external injuries, and their clothes were very neat, Su Ti also breathed a sigh of relief.

Closing the car door, he scanned the surroundings and frowned slightly.

Wang Jiu's body was fine, but Lian Wei's body was too gruesome. He had smashed him into a bloody mess, and it was everywhere.

These were not the key points. The key point was that he had killed someone, and he had killed them using his own identity.

"Although these two people are very likely kidnappers from the Su Corporation, since I killed them, there will still be some trouble."

Su Ti's eyes flickered.

One was that he would be investigated by the police. Although it was self-defense, it would be troublesome if his family found out. He didn't want to involve his family in the circle of the inner world.

Second, he would be exposed to the sight of the person behind the Su Corporation. Su Ti didn't want to get involved in these troubles for the time being. His feud with Li Zong was already troublesome enough.

With this thought, he began to clean up the traces at the scene.

First, he wiped away all his fingerprints and shoe prints, then took off the dashcam and crushed it. Then he took out the phone from the clothes of the dead Wang Jiu and called the police.

More than ten minutes later, watching the police arrive and rescue Su Yuwei and Su Qiaoqiao from the car, Su Ti withdrew his gaze and left from the shadows.

After he left, he didn't call a car directly, because that would leave a ride record and expose what he had done tonight. Instead, he chose to walk home.

By the time he got home, it was already half an hour later. At this time, his family was already clearing the table, and Su Zihao was nowhere to be seen.

He only found out after asking that Su Zihao had received a phone call, his face changed drastically, and he didn't say anything when asked, didn't explain, just said he had an urgent matter, and left in a hurry.

It should be the ransom call from the mastermind.

Su Ti thought to himself.

It was simple for him to reach this conclusion. The other party had kidnapped Su Qiaoqiao and Su Yuwei, clearly wanting to extort and threaten Su Zihao to get something from him. Otherwise, it would be more straightforward to just kill the two of them.

Su Zihao had returned to his family and became a billionaire with his own listed company in just 5 years. His growth must have touched the interests of other relatives in the Su Corporation.

However, to directly tear off the facade and come up with kidnapping, such an ugly move, the other party was either a lunatic or a psychopath, or they were forced into a desperate situation and wanted to go down fighting.

And Su Zihao didn't want to implicate Su Ti's family, so he left directly after receiving the call.

This was Su Ti's guess.

And the facts were indeed not far from Su Ti's guess.

More than ten minutes ago.

Inside Su Zihao's company.

Su Zihao held the phone, trembling all over.

On the phone, the middle-aged man who had spoken to Wang Jiu before said with a smile.

"We are all family, so how could I harm my two lovely nieces? As long as you transfer all the shares of your property under your name to mine within a month, remember, all of it, I will ensure their safety."

Hearing this, Su Zihao was furious.

"Su Luo, I called you big brother, but you actually did such a thing! Are you still human?!"

As soon as he said this, Su Luo was even more angry than him.

"I did this because you forced me to!"

"Before you came, Sheng Hui Electric Appliance was all mine! Mine!"

"The old man was biased and gave all my things to you. Now I'm just taking back what's mine!"

Su Luo's exasperated voice came from the phone.

This kind of kidnapping was an extremely overstepping act even within a large family. Once discovered, the family would never tolerate it. Su Luo believed that he was forced to do this.

Hearing this, Su Zihao trembled with anger.

"When I first came home, Dad did give me some shares of Sheng Hui and let me be in charge of operations, but those shares added up to only ten million!"

"Later, you mismanaged the company and lost too much money, selling the company at a low price. It was I who took out a bank loan to buy the company back. For so many years, I have worked diligently with Yuwei to revitalize Sheng Hui."

"I gave you shares out of old affection and gave you dividends every year. In these years, you have received more than ten million from my company, even thirty to forty million!"

"I called you big brother and gave you dividends. Today you kidnapped your two nieces and demanded all the shares of my company and all the property under my name. Su Luo, put your hand on your heart and ask yourself, are you still a human?!"

"You kidnapped my two daughters. Kin against kin, you've already touched the family's bottom line. If Dad finds out about this, he'll definitely kick you out of the family and send you to prison!"

Hearing this, Su Luo wasn't scared at all. Instead, he sneered with a sense of impunity.

"Then go tell the old man. Go ahead and tell him. I, Su Luo, dared to do what I did today because I've already prepared for everything. If you don't care about your two daughters' lives, then go ahead and tell him."

"You!"

"What 'you'?! You're just a bastard! What right do you have to be on equal footing with me? When I was making my fortune in business, you were still playing in the mud somewhere!"

Su Luo roared.

Intense jealousy filled Su Luo's mind. He was the third son of Su Zihao's father, the legitimate son. Five years ago, before Su Zihao came into this family, how prominent he was.

Five years later, his business had declined, and even the bastard Su Zihao, whom he once looked down upon, could ride over his head!

He had no chance of turning things around. Was he to be looked down upon for the rest of his life, or take a risk, grab the money, and run abroad? Su Luo chose to take the risk!

Su Luo, a direct descendant of the Su family, couldn't afford to offend, nor did he dare to offend, so he set his sights on Su Zihao, the bastard who had joined the family.

It could be said that his targeting of Su Zihao was partly due to the intense jealousy and resentment caused by his own fall from grace and the stark contrast of Su Zihao, whom he once looked down upon, living better and better.

Another part was that Su Zihao was a bastard who had joined the family and was not well-regarded by the family members. Even if something happened, no one would help him.

Hearing this, although Su Zihao was extremely angry at this moment, he didn't dare to act rashly.

He could choose to go all out with Su Luo, exposing his actions to the family and the police.

Just the recording of what Su Luo said now would be enough as evidence, but he couldn't do that.

He had lost his wife early and only had these two daughters in his life. He absolutely couldn't afford to lose them.

Unconsciously, Su Zihao shed tears. He gripped the phone tightly, his knuckles turning white from the force. At this moment, he even regretted joining the Su family. If he hadn't, he wouldn't have fallen to this point, causing his two daughters to be in danger.

He wiped away his tears and roared through clenched teeth.

"Take it, Su Luo. I'll give you everything I have. Please give me back my two daughters."

"Hahaha, why didn't you do this earlier?"

Su Luo laughed heartily. Just then, a call came in on Su Zihao's phone.

This wasn't an ordinary call; it was from the police.

Police call.

Su Zihao's tears stopped, and he was stunned. He hadn't called the police.

Could it be...

A possibility was about to surface in his mind. Thinking of this, he immediately hung up Su Luo's call and answered the police call.

"Hello, is this Mr. Su Zihao?"

A steady male voice came from the receiver.

"Yes, it is. What is it?"

Su Zihao pretended to be calm, but his voice trembled. He didn't dare to voluntarily tell the detective about this, fearing that Su Luo would take a risk and harm his two daughters. At the same time, he had a small glimmer of hope in his heart, but he was also afraid that it would be endless despair.

"It's like this. We are from the Mingguang City Public Security Bureau. We just received a report that your two daughters were kidnapped. They have been successfully rescued after we arrived at the scene. You don't need to worry."

"Really... really?"

Hearing this, Su Zihao felt as if he had instantly gone from hell to heaven. He trembled all over.

"Yes, I'll give the phone to them now so they can talk to you."

After saying that, there was no sound from the other end of the phone, as if it was being handed over to someone else.

A few seconds of waiting felt like a century to Su Zihao.

"Dad, don't worry, my sister and I are fine."

Until his daughter, Su Yuwei's familiar voice came from the other end of the phone, it sounded like heavenly music to Su Zihao's ears. His eyes welled up with tears, his whole body trembled, and he choked out.

"Good, good. It's good that you're fine. Where are you now? I'll be right there."

"We're at the police station now. Come over right away, Dad."

At this moment, Su Qiaoqiao's voice also came from the phone. Her tender and clear voice carried a hint of obvious trembling and fear.

Hearing his younger daughter's voice, Su Zihao's tears flowed even more. A powerful force surged from his body, making him immediately grab his clothes and rush out.

"Qiaoqiao, Yuwei, don't be afraid. Wait for me, Dad will be right there!"

The rest of the matter went smoothly. Su Zihao successfully met Su Qiaoqiao and Su Yuwei at the police station.

The father and daughters cried and hugged each other, and it was a while before they came back to their senses.

After confirming the safety of his two daughters, intense anger and hatred erupted in Su Zihao's eyes.

"Su Luo!"

Su Luo's actions had touched Su Zihao's bottom line. After confirming the safety of his two daughters, he didn't contact Su Luo again, not even the Su family. Instead, he immediately submitted Su Luo's call recording to the police station and chose to report the case. He didn't even notify his own father!

Su Luo had completely stepped on Su Zihao's bottom line. Since Su Luo didn't care about family ties, there was no need for Su Zihao to care about family ties either!

The Su Corporation was a large family business that cared about its reputation. Family scandals should not be publicized. It was very likely that they would suppress this matter and handle it privately.

Adding that Su Luo was the legitimate son of Su Zihao's father, telling his father about it might lead to his father's protection and suppression of the matter, which would then lead to Su Luo's next retaliation. To protect his family, Su Zihao directly chose to report the case!

With conclusive evidence, the police immediately took action and arrested Su Luo, who was in a suburban villa in Huaiyang City, Nanfeng Province, that same night.

Meanwhile, in the police morgue, two middle-aged men in white protective suits looked at the two bodies before them with indifferent expressions.

These two bodies were precisely those of Wang Jiu and Lian Wei. Even the spinal worm, which Su Ti had stomped into a pulp, was clearly on the autopsy table.

Outside the door, Liu Xing, the police officer who had met Su Ti once and recommended him to the Dragon Gate Martial Hall, was standing guard.

Liu Xing waited outside, with a young apprentice standing beside him.

"Third Category Affairs Investigation Bureau, does our country have such an organization?"

Liu Xing heard the apprentice's murmur and immediately slapped him on the head.

"Keep your voice down."

Seeing the apprentice covering his head with a puzzled look, Liu Xing's expression was serious, and he whispered.

"This is the second time I've seen these people. Not only are their ranks extremely high, requiring our local police station to cooperate fully and unconditionally with their investigation work, but each of them also possesses special abilities that we ordinary people don't know or understand. They might even hear you talking here right now!"

The apprentice looked at the soundproof door in front of him with a bewildered expression.

"Master, this is modern society, does it have to be so magical?"

"Hmph, magical? You just saw those two bodies, didn't you? The first one was fine, just beaten to death with great force.

The body structure of the second one doesn't even look like a human. Shot ten times, head crushed, spine pulled out, and there were still subtle signs of life. These are all within the realm of supernatural beings, and it's no longer something we can handle. We can only leave it to these professionals to solve."

The apprentice swallowed and nodded after hearing this.

"What do you think?"

In the dissection room, one of the middle-aged men wearing a blue uniform with a triangular black star symbol on his chest asked the other middle-aged man.

They both had ordinary appearances and ordinary heights. Apart from being middle-aged, there was nothing particularly distinctive about them.

However, from the subtle sharpness in their eyes, the black tight-fitting combat suits under their loose blue uniforms, and their calloused hands, it was clear that these two were not simple.

"One martial artist, one half-evil creature, what else is there to see?"

Song Yi said casually.

Zhou Jia glanced at Song Yi and gave up the naive idea of getting information from this brute.

So he took a cigarette from his pocket, put it in his mouth, thought for a moment, took it out again, and said.

"Looking at the injuries of these two, they were both beaten to death by physical attacks. Judging from the specific wounds, it's roughly the skill of an Inner Refinement Stage martial artist. It should have nothing to do with those things. Since it has nothing to do with those things, just write a report and submit it."

He put the unlit cigarette to his nose and sniffed its smell. This was his habitual way of thinking.

"As for the host of this evil creature, it seems to be a martial art from a sect in Nanfeng Province. Their martial arts cultivation method is originally symbiotic with evil creatures and has a certain social harmfulness, but..."

"However, this sect is also hiding everywhere, and it's difficult to find their base. Just write a report and send it to our colleagues in Nanfeng Province and let them worry about it themselves. Since it hasn't caused any major harm to the surface world, let's close the case."

Song Yi shrugged when he heard this, took out a pack of betel nuts from his pocket, casually took one out, and threw it into his mouth to chew. They had been partners for many years, and he was always the one who didn't want to deal with anything. He only cared about fighting and didn't care about anything else. Everything was arranged by Zhou Jia, so he asked again.

"Then do we still need to investigate the person who killed them?"

Zhou Jia shook his head.

"Since this person used normal martial arts, they are not under our jurisdiction. Let the Martial Arts Committee worry about that. However, according to the rules of the Martial Arts Committee, it will likely be left unresolved. But what does that have to do with us? Let's go, it's time to get off work and get a foot massage."

"Reasonable and well-founded, exactly what I wanted."

Song Yi chuckled, put his arm around the other's shoulder, and walked out with Zhou Jia.

The Third Category Affairs Investigation Bureau, although it is a violent organization that investigates and forcibly manages various non-human beings to prevent them from harming the social order of the surface world.

But if they had to investigate everything thoroughly, they would be exhausted. Kicking the ball around whenever possible is the way for adults to survive.
