Investigation Bureau

These days, there are just too many fake IDs out there. He could go to any toy store and buy whatever kind of certificate he wanted.

"Wait ten seconds. Someone will call you." Zhou Yaning didn't reply, just told him to wait ten seconds.

Yang Jikai glanced at the woman. There were a few other people in the car, and they were very calm, not at all intimidated. Since it was only ten seconds, Yang Jikai decided to wait.

He counted down in his head, and as 'ten' fell, his phone rang right on time.

Yang Jikai's expression flickered for a moment. He took out his phone and saw that it was a call from the Province's number one leader. He quickly pressed the answer button.

"Yes... Okay, I understand. I will fully cooperate with them!" Yang Jikai assured the leader.

After hanging up, he put down his phone, took a deep breath, and walked to the car window.

"Captain Zhou, the higher-ups have already spoken to me. The bureau and I will fully cooperate with you." The leader's tone on the phone was very serious; he knew that the people in front of him were no ordinary individuals.

"We want to see the body and the on-site surveillance. We want to see it now."

Zhou Yaning opened the car door and got out with her teammates. They were here to handle the Star Prosperity Plaza monster incident.

"Okay, please follow me." Yang Jikai led them into the office building.

"Mom, I'm going to look for work tomorrow too. We'll pay back the money slowly."

Inside the rented room, Lu Chengchuan said as he ate.

He was now in debt up to his ears, mostly money borrowed from relatives. Some relatives were afraid they wouldn't be able to pay it back, while others weren't in a hurry, saying they'd see about it later.

Regardless, the money was owed, and he had to pay it back.

"Okay, you've just recovered from your illness. Don't look for a job that's too tiring, take it easy," Huang Yuyun said with a smile.

Although they owed a lot of money, as long as they were alive, there was hope.

After the meal, his mother told him to rest early. Lu Chengchuan returned to his room and tried to cultivate martial arts.

He could use lifespan to increase martial arts levels, but he wouldn't live for more than two months. Using lifespan to improve now would be like thinking he had too much life. At least he needed to accumulate enough lifespan before using that method to increase his strength.

Since he couldn't whale his way to power, he could only cultivate on his own.

Lu Chengchuan sat cross-legged on the bed, adopting a meditative posture, breathing according to the Everspring Skill's breathing technique.

As he breathed, a trace of heat arose from below his navel. He had looked up information, and according to ancient books, the heated location was the Lower Dantian.

He kept practicing and practicing until late at night before stopping.

After practicing for several hours, he opened his eyes, feeling nothing except that his body was warm.

Thinking about tomorrow, Lu Chengchuan lay down on the bed and quickly fell asleep.

Around eight in the morning, he woke up, said goodbye to his mother, and said he was going out to look for work, then left the rented room.

Coming downstairs, Lu Chengchuan looked around, not seeing anything special, and started walking outside. As he walked out of the alley, a car not far away rolled down its window, and the person inside looked at his back, taking out their phone.

"He's out. Should we follow him?"

After a few seconds, the man put down his phone and told his companions to get out of the car and follow him.

As Lu Chengchuan walked, he suddenly felt like someone was following him. He glanced behind him, but the street was full of pedestrians, with no overly suspicious targets.

As soon as he turned around, he quickly realized he shouldn't have done that.

Such an abrupt turn would probably make the tracker realize that he had noticed them.

Unable to regret it, Lu Chengchuan turned back and continued forward, walking and walking, he quickly left the main road and headed into a secluded alley.

Away from the crowd, Lu Chengchuan entered a secluded alley.

"Captain, did he notice us? Should we chase after him?" The group gathered together, seeing the target enter the alley, unsure whether to pursue.

"Chase after him, we must figure out what's going on."

A cold voice sounded from behind. The four turned around and found the captain standing behind them.

With the captain's order, everyone immediately chased after him. When they ran into the alley, they found that the person had disappeared, and there was no sign of him at the end of the alley.

Zhou Yaning slowly walked in, a trace of doubt flashing across her expressionless face. Just as everyone was about to speak, a figure suddenly appeared behind them.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?"

Lu Chengchuan stared at the five people in front of him, wondering if he had been discovered by the police. But these guys didn't look like cops, but maybe he just couldn't tell.

Zhou Yaning wanted to explain, but suddenly thought of something, and her tone changed: "Catch him!"

The four didn't understand, but they prepared to carry out the mission, charging directly at Lu Chengchuan.

Lu Chengchuan was even more confused, wondering what he had done to warrant being captured. But he wasn't afraid. Three men and a woman were running towards him, and he stood there without moving.

A tall man was the first to reach him, reaching out to use a grappling technique to take Lu Chengchuan down.

Lu Chengchuan stood there, and at the moment the man grabbed him, he reached out and accurately grabbed the man's arm. Under the man's shocked gaze, Lu Chengchuan flung him away, directly throwing him to the ground.

Having taken down one person, the remaining three surrounded him. Lu Chengchuan struck out with a palm, hitting the man on the right.

The man raised his arm to block, but he underestimated Lu Chengchuan's strength. He only felt pain coming from his arm, and then he fell to the ground. The remaining two couldn't get close to Lu Chengchuan either. Lu Chengchuan simply threw out two punches, and the two also fell to the ground with pained expressions.

In an instant, all four were on the ground, groaning, leaving only Zhou Yaning, who had given the order, still standing.

Zhou Yaning stood not far away, no longer as calm as she had been. Her cool face was now filled with surprise. She hadn't clearly seen Lu Chengchuan's movements. If she didn't know her subordinates' combat abilities, she would have suspected they were acting.

"Answer me, who are you, and why are you following me?"

Lu Chengchuan approached the woman. He wasn't one to show any tenderness to the fairer sex. If this woman couldn't give him a good explanation, she'd be on the ground as well.

Zhou Yaning didn't speak. She adopted a fighting stance, and as Lu Chengchuan approached, she suddenly launched a high roundhouse kick, aiming a powerful blow at Lu Chengchuan's head.

The strike was fast and forceful, but Lu Chengchuan wasn't an ordinary person. He raised his hand and caught the long leg aimed at his head.

As the saying goes, an arm can't twist a thigh, but Lu Chengchuan's arm possessed the strength of a thousand pounds. Breaking someone's thigh would be far too easy for him.

His hand gripped her thigh, his arm not even budging. Zhou Yaning hadn't expected her opponent to be so strong. When she tried to pull her leg back, Lu Chengchuan suddenly exerted force, pulling the woman's leg high into the air. The woman instantly lost her balance, her whole body falling to the ground.

After taking the woman down, Lu Chengchuan walked up and kicked her in the stomach, incapacitating her.

Then, he asked again, "Tell me, who are you? If you don't answer, I won't give you a second chance."
