Secretary Wang left Su Li behind and walked over to the other side. She turned the unconscious Wang Mingming over and examined her. When she saw the two blood-red fang marks on Wang Mingming's neck, her pupils suddenly contracted.

A moment later, Secretary Wang stood up and walked over to Ye Mohan's side, whispering a few words to her.

"Mm!"

Ye Mohan nodded faintly.

Seeing Ye Mohan nod, Secretary Wang turned around and said to Su Li, "All right, I've basically confirmed it. The person you killed was an extremely vicious wanted criminal. You didn't break the law, and you won't go to prison!"

"Really?"

Su Li instantly stopped rambling and asked.

"Mm. See if this is the person." Secretary Wang took out her phone and pulled up a photograph.

Su Li glanced at the photograph...

It showed a middle-aged man wearing a military uniform, his face full of righteousness.

Wasn't this one of the Superhumans he had seen a few days ago on the cross-sea bridge, the group running a marathon? When he saw the photograph, Su Li subconsciously thought of the few Superhumans he had seen on Donghai's cross-sea bridge a few days earlier.

The person running at the very front had been this middle-aged man!

After becoming a Superhuman, especially now that he was an E-Class Superhuman, Su Li had great confidence in his memory. Even though he had only caught a fleeting glimpse of this person a few days ago, he could still recall what the man looked like after thinking about it.

But now that he thought about it carefully, aside from lacking a pair of fangs and having a less pale complexion, that person looked extremely similar to the guy he had accidentally beaten to death tonight!

"What's wrong? Could this not be the same person?" Secretary Wang asked in confusion when Su Li remained silent for a long time.

In fact, when Su Li had described what happened here to her over the phone, Secretary Wang had already thought of this person. After seeing the two fang marks on the unconscious girl, she had become completely certain. At this point, she was merely asking as a formality.

However, Su Li's next action dispelled Secretary Wang's doubts.

"No!"

Su Li shook his head and pointed at the corpse covered from head to toe in semi-transparent longswords. "I was just thinking, this person looked so righteous in the photograph. How did he end up like this?"

"Heh heh!" Secretary Wang gave a cold laugh and said,

"Since this was your achievement, there's no harm in telling you. Qu Xing was a Superhuman secretly trained by Donghai City. His ability was vampirism—and he drank the blood of his own kind!"

"He could extract energy from blood and use it to improve himself!" Secretary Wang added.

"So this guy couldn't resist attacking humans? And then he became a wanted criminal?" Su Li instantly imagined the plot of a novel that could easily run to two hundred thousand words.

"The situation is complicated. If you insist on understanding it that way, that's not entirely wrong." Ye Mohan, who had remained cold and silent, suddenly spoke. "This is one of the drawbacks brought about by Superpower Technology. It caused some people to lose their rationality!"

"But the law shows no mercy. From the moment he attacked humans, his glorious past turned to smoke."

"Exactly. Director Ye is right!"

Secretary Wang nodded enthusiastically.

"Um... Secretary Wang, what did you mean by 'achievement' just now?" Su Li asked again.

"Oh, since he was a wanted criminal, there would naturally be an achievement reward! You're now one of our Donghai Detective Bureau's people, so there's no way this achievement could go to someone else!" Secretary Wang explained.

"This is really... too unexpected!"

Su Li was a little delighted inside. All the effort he had spent putting on that act hadn't been wasted. He had not only gotten off scot-free, but had even earned an achievement from the Detective Bureau.

Although, to him, an achievement from the Detective Bureau was completely useless!

Seeing the surprise on Su Li's face, Secretary Wang smiled. Then she asked meaningfully, "Compared to that, I'm more curious about how you killed Qu Xing, Su Li. You should know that Qu Xing was not only an intermediate-level Superhuman, but also proficient in martial arts. His counter-surveillance awareness was exceptionally strong. He had not only escaped Donghai's repeated pursuits and committed major crimes time and again, he could even detect the Director's attacks in advance, disguise himself, and escape..."

Secretary Wang listed a whole string of Qu Xing's accomplishments, leaving Su Li, who was listening nearby, dumbfounded. In other words, the brother he had slapped to death really had died an unjust death!

From another perspective, this guy was quite talented too!

But even if he had beaten Qu Xing to death, that old brother would never have imagined that he would casually run into an E-Class Superhuman hidden among the crowd, right?

He was simply too unlucky!

"That's how I beat him to death!" A longsword appeared in front of Su Li, then shot out with a whoosh.

"An extremely powerful ability!" Ye Mohan evaluated.

"You flatter me, Director Ye!" Su Li smiled.

"Mm!"

Ye Mohan nodded, then turned her head toward Secretary Ye and said,

"Since we've figured it out, notify someone to come clean up this place. As for that girl... Although she lost some blood, it isn't a serious problem. Notify the leaders of Donghai University to come collect her!"

"Yes!"

After answering, Secretary Wang walked to the side and prepared to make a call for help.

"Wait. I know this student. I'll take her back!" Su Li walked over and pointed at Wang Mingming.

"You know her?" Secretary Wang asked, somewhat surprised.

"Mm!"

Su Li nodded.

"So it was a case of a hero saving a beauty. How touching!" Secretary Wang said with a smile. "It's a pity we don't know what Xia Ke thinks!"

"We're just ordinary acquaintances. What does Xia Ke have to do with this?"

Su Li looked at Secretary Wang's smiling face.

"Is that so?"

"What else would you have me say? Do you want me to have two-timed her?" Su Li asked directly.

"Hehe!"

Secretary Wang smiled without saying anything and simply waved her hand, signaling Su Li to do as he pleased.

This guy must have been dumped before!

After silently grumbling to himself, Su Li walked over, picked Wang Mingming up, and carried her outside.
