Lu Family Manor.
The energy liquid ordered by Ning Chuan has arrived; the bright red liquid is in a test tube, crystal clear.
Ning Chuan opened a bottle and quickly drank it down.
A notification sound immediately echoed in my mind.
" The Ultimate Weapon Art sensed abundant dark energy, intensified its internal rotation, and increased its cultivation speed by 30%!"
Upon hearing this, Ning Chuan was taken aback.
It only increased by 30%?!
The energy liquid he bought was called " Demon Fire " energy liquid. It wasn't top-tier, but it wasn't bad either, and it cost eight million per bottle.
The next moment.
Ning Chuan suddenly understood.
It's not a problem with the Demon Fire Energy Liquid.
His Divine Weapon was so powerful that it allowed him to open up Force Aperture rapidly, sometimes within a week.
The amplification effect of the Demon Fire energy liquid is naturally not high.
"Unless, we switch to the best energy liquid, such as ' Starlight ' or ' Radiant God,' it should be able to increase the cultivation speed of the Ultimate Weapon Art by 1 to 2 times!"
Ning Chuan pondered for a moment, then sighed helplessly.
He doesn't have enough money!
Is there a problem with the energy fluid?
Lu Mengyue was also in the room. When she saw Ning Chuan suddenly sigh, she asked him what was wrong.
Bang, bang, bang...
Just as Ning Chuan was about to answer, there was a knock on the door.
He casually said, "Come in."
The wooden door opened, Butler Bei entered the room, his clothes impeccably tailored. He said respectfully, "Mr. Ning, two policemen are looking for you."
"One of them is named Liu Zhengwei, and the other is named Zheng Rong. They both come from the Anmin Police Station in the old city. According to them, they met you once before."
"That's what the Butler Bei said."
"Those two policemen!"
Ning Chuan's thoughts flashed as he recalled his memories, and he asked, "What do they want from me?"
The Butler Bei said, "They only said it was a major matter, related to the Wei Family, but they'll only reveal the specific details after seeing you."
"Mr. Ning, would you like to meet him?"
The Butler Bei inquired.
Ning Chuan hesitated for a few seconds, then said, "Bring them in."
"Okay, please wait a moment."
The Butler Bei bowed slightly to Ning Chuan and walked away.
A short while later, he returned with two policemen.
"Greetings, Major General Ning!"
Liu Zhengwei and Zheng Rong immediately raised their hands in greeting.
Ning Chuan, too lazy for pleasantries, cut to the chase and said, "Speak, what is it?"
"This..."
Liu Weizheng glanced at Butler Bei and Lu Mengyue, his face showing reluctance.
"Mr. Ning, please go ahead with your work. Call me if you need anything."
The Butler Bei, being quite perceptive, took his leave.
Lu Mengyue wasn't good at this kind of thing. Only after the Butler Bei left did she belatedly realize what was happening. She stood up and asked in a charmingly naive tone, "Am I leaving too?"
She just arrived.
Ning Chuan glanced at her and smiled helplessly, "It's alright, stay."
Upon hearing this, Lu Mengyue was inexplicably happy, her big eyes narrowed into crescent shapes, and she sat back down on the sofa.
"Major General Ning, this is what happened..."
Seeing this, Liu Zhengwei dared not object and directly recounted his previous findings.
Zheng Rong stood to the side, took out a device, and played the relevant video clips he had extracted.
More than ten heavy trucks entered the Wei Family Manor...
After listening to Liu Zhengwei's account, Ning Chuan fell into thought, his fingers tapping unconsciously on the armrest of his chair.
Lu Mengyue's pretty face lit up with excitement as she suggested, "The army is currently sealing off the city and searching. Have them go to the Wei Family manor and find those trucks!"
"There's no need."
After a long pause for thought, Ning Chuan calmly said, "The things in the truck are obviously contraband."
However, Wei Huasheng had long since ceased to be involved in the operation of the Wei Financial Group.
Even if contraband is discovered, Wei Huasheng can easily escape.
Ning Chuan knew this in his heart.
As long as Wei Huasheng, this Knight in shining armor, arresting any number of high-ranking officials won't make a difference.
The Wei Financial Group can still survive.
Without the Knight's presence.
Without him lifting a finger, the Wei Financial Group was swallowed up by other conglomerates and powerful families.
Upon hearing this, Lu Mengyue understood and, somewhat annoyed, asked, "So what are you planning to do?"
We can't just pretend nothing happened!
A glint flashed in Ning Chuan's eyes as he slowly said, "If someone finds out about your illegal activities and you don't want them to be exposed, you naturally have to pay them enough hush money."
As he spoke, he turned to look at Liu Zhengwei and Zheng Rong, and asked, "What do you think of this proposal?"
If you agree, you'll get a share of the hush money.
After all, it was information obtained through the other party's investigation.
"Major General Ning, we agree, but we don't need the hush money."
Liu Zhengwei quickly replied.
Zheng Rong nodded rapidly, echoing, "If possible, I hope you can forgive our rudeness that day!"
Ning Chuan saw through their intentions and said, "Okay, I'll go to Anmin Police Station afterwards."
Thank you so much!
"I'll go to the Civil Affairs Bureau again tomorrow to apply for a name change!"
The two breathed a sigh of relief, as if they had been granted a pardon.
At this moment, Lu Mengyue asked curiously, "How much hush money do you want?"
It's hard to say at the moment.
Ning Chuan smiled faintly and said, "I need to know what contraband the Wei Family is hiding before I can name a price."
What's your idea?
Lu Mengyue became interested and said, " The Wei Family definitely won't tell the truth."
Whether a criminal tells the truth or not depends on the competence of the police!
Ning Chuan smiled and gestured with his chin towards the two people beside him, saying, "Do you have a police uniform that fits me?"
Liu Zhengwei immediately replied, "The station has new police uniforms."
Lu Mengyue pondered for a moment, then tentatively asked, "Are you going to disguise yourself as a police officer, enter the Wei Family, and interrogate Wei Zhu?"
"Um."
Ning Chuan nodded in agreement and instructed Liu Zhengwei and Liu Zhengwei, "Next, you two will come with me to the Wei Family."
"Yes, Major General Ning!"
"I guarantee the mission will be completed."
Hearing this, Lu Mengyue looked at Ning Chuan longingly and said, "I want to go too!"
Ning Chuan thought for a moment, then agreed, saying, "Just in case, let Uncle Lu know."
"I'll go right now!"
12 noon.
The sun hung high in the sky, its rays intensely hot, as if trying to burn away all darkness.
Wei Family Manor.
A police car stopped, and four police officers got out.
Among them, the man and woman at the back, wearing masks, were Ning Chuan and Lu Mengyue.
"We have a murder case on our hands that is somewhat related to Wei Zhu, and we'd like to ask him some questions."
"I'm sorry, for legal matters, please consult the Wei Financial Group's private lawyers."
At the main gate, Liu Zhengwei and one of the Wei Family's stewards were talking.
"Brother, can you do me a favor?"
Liu Zhengwei took out a cigarette and handed it to him.
He had dealt with many people from the conglomerate before and knew what they were afraid of, so he said, "The dead man was the illegitimate son of Director Qian of the Industry and Commerce Bureau. The higher-ups were pressing us hard, so we had no choice but to go through the formalities and leave."
"Okay, I'll ask."
The manager walked a short distance away, made a phone call, and after a brief conversation, waved to Liu Zhengwei and said, "I'll take you to see Mr. Wei Zhu."
The four people walked through the gate.
"Um?!"
Ning Chuan glanced at it, his eyes flickering slightly.
Water trucks are everywhere on the roads of the estate, washing the surface.
Unsurprisingly, they were removing tracks left by a heavy truck.
"It seems the truck wasn't carrying ordinary contraband."
Ning Chuan thought to himself.
Soon, the group arrived at an office.
"Mr. Wei Zhu, the person has been brought here."
The steward said this, then turned and left.
Wei Zhu sat down in an office, his brows furrowed, and said impatiently, "You're just disturbing the peace. I have nothing to do with any murder case!"
"Actually, there is a connection."
Ning Chuan gripped the handle, closed the door, and casually removed his mask. Looking at Wei Zhu, whose expression had drastically changed, he smiled slightly and said:
"If you don't tell the truth, you'll become a victim of murder!"
