Your Partner Is—Chu Sheng

The young girl covered her face, overcome with fear.

Although Chu Sheng looked about the same age, the aura he exuded just now was terrifying!

It was then she remembered that one of the conditions to join the Jingwu Bureau was reaching the Qi Sea Realm.

To be at the Qi Sea Realm at her age was beyond describing him as just a genius.

The top genius in their school wouldn't even be qualified to carry his shoes.

"I'm asking you a question, and I don't want to repeat myself a second time," Chu Sheng said coldly.

"Can... can."

The young girl reacted, nodding repeatedly and without pause.

Then, through her and the woman's accounts, Chu Sheng roughly understood what had happened.

A month ago, the woman's son's homeroom teacher suddenly called, saying her son Cui Hao had an accident at school and asked her to come to the school immediately.

By the time the woman arrived, people from the Wind Chasing Hall were already there.

They informed the woman that Cui Hao was dead and his body had already been sent for an autopsy.

When the woman followed them to the Wind Chasing Hall, she was told that Cui Hao had committed suicide and, due to staff error, his body had already been cremated.

When the woman finally saw her son, he was already just a can of ashes...

The woman wasn't foolish; she knew something was amiss, and Cui Hao certainly wouldn't have committed suicide!

But what could she, an ordinary person, do?

She tried to inquire with the school, but she was driven away before she could even enter the gate.

The school even warned her not to cause trouble on campus.

Otherwise, they would use the excuse of damaging the school's reputation to have the Wind Chasing Hall arrest her.

At this point, the woman thought of her neighbor's daughter, the young girl beside her, Wang Qiong.

Wang Qiong attended the same school as Cui Hao.

But she didn't know the specifics either, only hearing that Cui Hao had offended someone at school, and that person's family was quite influential.

The woman believed her son's death was definitely related to that person.

Unfortunately, the people from the Wind Chasing Hall wouldn't even take the case.

The woman wiped away her tears, "Sir, if I don't stand up for him, who will? We can't just let him die without knowing the truth, can we?"

Chu Sheng didn't answer. He merely asked, "What was the other person's cultivation realm that Cui Hao offended? Did he have bodyguards? Think carefully before you answer."

As the woman pondered, the young girl beside her quickly said, "That Chu Yunfei is only at the Opening Meridian Fourth Layer, but I heard he has a bodyguard who is at the Qi Sea Realm."

"So, you suspect his bodyguard did this?"

"Yes!" The woman realized, looking at Chu Sheng with gratitude.

Chu Sheng slowly stood up, "Our Jingwu Bureau accepts this case! You can go back and wait for news."

"Thank you, sir, thank you so much..." The woman repeatedly kowtowed her thanks.

The fearful look on the young girl's face was gone. Although she didn't quite understand what Chu Sheng meant by "accepts the case,"

Seeing her mother's expression, she knew this young man before her was a good person.

Though he didn't quite look like one...

As they were leaving, Wang Qiong hesitated, wanting to ask how long it might take.

The college entrance examination was just over a week away. Chu Yunfei was at the Opening Meridian Fourth Layer a month ago, and he might have even advanced to the Opening Meridian Fifth Layer by now.

If he performed well in the exams and was noticed by a top university, investigating would become incredibly difficult.

But upon seeing Chu Sheng's cold gaze, she recalled the slap from earlier.

In the end, she didn't dare to ask...

Director's Office.

"Young Master Chu is indeed exceptionally intelligent. Since a Qi Sea Realm martial artist is involved, we have no choice but to take this case."

Lu Huaimin continued, "I just don't know where you plan to start the investigation?"

The most pressing issue was that Cui Hao's body was gone, and the Wind Chasing Hall had already made its conclusion.

Investigating further would be fraught with difficulties.

Chu Sheng had already decided on the way here, "The Wind Chasing Hall!"

"The Wind Chasing Hall is under the City Governor's jurisdiction, and we belong to different systems. We don't interfere with each other. It won't be easy for you to investigate,"

"So?" Chu Sheng asked calmly.

Lu Huaimin was taken aback. Understanding that Chu Sheng intended to use his influence, he couldn't help but give a thumbs up.

"As expected of Young Master Chu, your ability to switch roles is so fast. I only hope that if you cause trouble, you won't drag me down with you."

"Don't worry, I've got it covered."

Not long after, a very strange D-class mission appeared on the Jingwu Bureau app.

Investigate the true cause of a high school student's death and apprehend the culprit.

It wasn't that the case was particularly complex, but rather that it was too simple—this should have been handled by Wind Chasing Hall.

The most surprising thing was that the mission actually had a requirement: participants had to be brave!

"This is interesting. Such a minor case requires courage? Is it possible there are ghosts involved?"

"Honestly, whose relative was that high school student? They actually need the Jingwu Bureau to get involved for a case like this."

"And it's only a D-class mission. It's practically free 100 contribution points..."

"And they want someone brave?! Let's see how terrifying this mission really is!"

Gao Qiang had a characteristic about him: he didn't believe in evil and was very bold.

He firmly believed in the principle that the rougher the waves, the more valuable the fish.

For such a strange mission, others might carefully consider if there were any hidden pitfalls.

But he wouldn't!

"Ding!"

"You have successfully signed up for this mission."

"Your partner is - Chu Sheng."

Seeing the notification, Gao Qiang was stunned. "Young Master Chu?"

Who in the entire Jingwu Bureau didn't know that Chu Sheng had connections to the Long Family of Dongyun Province?

Upon seeing that he would be on a mission with Chu Sheng, he lost all his apprehension.

With someone of such background, how could there be any danger on a mission together?

The two met outside the Jingwu Bureau.

At this point, Gao Qiang had already read through the mission details.

"Young Master Chu, should we go to the First High School to gather information now?"

In his opinion, going to the school was the optimal solution.

"No rush, let's go to Wind Chasing Hall first."

"Where?" Gao Qiang was taken aback.

Chu Sheng didn't say anything, merely glancing at him.

Gao Qiang, realizing after a moment, exclaimed, "Wind Chasing Hall???"

"Is there a problem?"

"No, no... Young Master Chu is truly resourceful..."

Gao Qiang thought Chu Sheng had already found someone to open doors for him at Wind Chasing Hall.

He didn't expect that he had only guessed half of it correctly.

Chu Sheng did indeed intend to open doors at Wind Chasing Hall, in a very literal, physical sense.

In the Director's office on the third floor of Wind Chasing Hall.

Upon hearing his subordinate's report, Xie Lian calmly took a sip of his tea.

"She's just an unsophisticated country bumpkin who can't even recognize the rightful owner and dares to block the way to appeal."

The subordinate continued, "Someone saw that woman enter the Jingwu Bureau and stay there for over twenty minutes."

"No matter. Even if the Jingwu Bureau wants to interfere in this case, they have no grounds."

Just then.

Sun Ming, Xie Lian's trusted subordinate, came to report.

"Director, two Bronze Patrol officers from the Jingwu Bureau are here, saying they need to investigate a case."

"..."

Xie Lian hadn't expected to be proven wrong the moment he spoke.

Feeling a loss of face, he angrily stated, "They're just Bronze Patrol officers. Send them away. If there's anything, tell their Director to speak directly to the City Lord!"
