Things Have Come to This, So Let's Start a Video Call

The beeping of the medical equipment began.

Shen Yan seemed to wake from a dream, taking a deep breath.

Upon hearing the noise, the team members immediately opened the door and came in, followed by a large group of doctors and nurses who quickly examined and questioned the patients.

Shen Yan was still somewhat dazed, answering whatever questions others asked.

After the doctors and nurses smiled and left, the team members gathered around the bed.

"How did I end up in the hospital...?"

He suddenly remembered what happened before he lost consciousness, "Oh no, the place where Minister Han was supposed to meet Mr. Chu has been bombed!"

It's not a bomb.

One of the female team members, who had been looking worried, couldn't hold back her tears and burst into laughter, saying, "Captain, you're acting like an egg right now, a complete idiot!"

Another team member said, "There's a group of Evil Spirit and superhumans plotting to assassinate Mr. Chu."

Fortunately, Mr. Chu and his companions killed those people, leaving behind the corpses of the Evil Spirit, which is undeniable.

Shen Yan asked, "How is Minister Han?"

Upon hearing this, the team members' expressions turned strange.

"Minister Han has been identified as one of the main perpetrators in this major criminal case."

The female team member explained, "There's a whole host of other charges, but I won't list them all."

"In short, everything that has happened recently seems to be related to him, and it has also been discovered that he had dealings with Takagi and others involved in the previous case, involving the exchange of benefits."

"These are likely the crimes that are truly related to him, but currently... there are more and more unsolved cases that are about to be linked to him."

Shen Yan was dumbfounded.

The One-Character Spiritual Cultivation Society and other religious groups did indeed collude with Minister Han.

However, Takagi's contact list is too long to list them all as suspects.

The truly compelling evidence that could identify Minister Han's crimes was kept extremely well hidden by Takagi himself, and he even used a secret code.

The Countermeasures Office has received too much related information recently and has not yet deciphered this document.

If the Great Yuan Dynasty wins, or even if he doesn't have to win, as long as Minister Han can back down and stay put for a while, that's enough.

That piece of evidence may never have the chance to be used properly in the future.

However, with only a hundred days to decide the outcome, time is limited, and the Great Yuan Dynasty has already set his sights on Chu Tianshu.

What Minister Han thinks has no decisive effect on the Great Yuan Dynasty.

He had no choice but to obey and helped the Grand Preceptor with "a small matter," after which not only did the man die, but he was also accused of more and more crimes.

After all, there are many unsolved cases, and it's not convincing to simply introduce a scapegoat.

Even if someone wanted to use this as a political achievement, their superiors would only think that they were just trying to fool people and wouldn't take it seriously.

However, given Minister Han's position, it is clear that he is involved in certain major cases.

Making him take the blame would be very appropriate.

"Anyway, Captain, don't worry. Although Minister Han died, everyone's morale has been quite stable lately."

The female team member coughed softly, "In fact, it might even be described as happiness."

"Captain, you've also made a significant contribution; we might even get a promotion."

Shen Yan had even more questions in his mind.

"Ah?"

Shen Yan asked in surprise, "What merit did I perform?"

Even the most experienced team member smiled, "You assisted the United Nations investigators in uncovering a grand conspiracy involving Evil Spirit and exposing high-ranking human traitors."

"Our team leader is now a role model within our organization, and we should promote him widely."

Shen Yan gradually came to his senses.

Of those present, Chu Tianshu was a foreigner, South Korea wouldn't help him by going to the trouble of publicizing his outstanding deeds. The others, besides the monks, were just people brought by Minister Han himself.

It seems the only way to save face in this incident is to praise Shen Yan.

Shen Yan, who has always been a mature and capable person, wanted to scratch his head, but his hand was held down by his teammates as soon as he raised it.

"Don't move, you still have a needle in your forehead."

The female team member gently reached out, "This needle was inserted by Mr. Chu. He said it can only be removed after you regain consciousness."

"You've been unconscious for several days; I almost thought this needle wasn't working."

The female team member carefully removed the needle and carefully took out a small box to hide it away.

Shen Yan hadn't felt anything before, but now that the silver needles had stopped suppressing the pain, he felt waves of pain rising in his head.

He recalled that when the "bomb" exploded, he seemed to instinctively try to shield the elderly person next to him.

"The former abbot of Kṣitigarbha Temple..."

"They're fine. They even sent someone to deliver a fruit basket to you that day."

"Then Mr. Chu..."

"Mr. Chu is very busy right now. Open Party MPs and the Minister of Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries have both visited him to discuss recent events."

Shen Yan was confused again. "Why would the Minister of Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries want to visit him?"

What do these recent events have to do with the Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries?

"Because that minister's hometown is Busan, and he happened to be back on vacation, so he took the opportunity to visit."

The veteran team member chuckled, "If you still don't understand, let me put it this way: the Minister of Ministry of Oceans and Fisheries is a confidant of the former president, and currently the most powerful person on their side after the former president stepped down."

Shen Yan understood immediately.

Members of the Countermeasures Office are responsible for special incidents and generally do not discuss politics.

However, in reality, it is difficult for middle-aged people in South Korea to avoid this kind of hobby.

The former president's close ties with the Mystic Kingdom and his attempts to purge Korean traitors are well-known. Since stepping down last year, the news he has received has not been very positive.

"Sigh, I always thought that the people to the far north couldn't be any good, after all, they support our enemies."

Shen Yan sighed, "But Mr. Chu is indeed a very good person. These people, who dare to go directly to see Mr. Chu, are already much better than the upper echelons of Busan."

The female team member quickly said, "Let's not talk about that. Let's focus on promotions and raises."

Shen Yan didn't say anything, but he was secretly pondering it.

Even if you get promoted, you still need to maintain your principles in the future.

The people in the hospital, of course, had no idea.

Those who visited Chu Tianshu Chu Tianshu met him once before Chu Tianshu took out a computer, opened a video conference, and sent them to the living room.

Once the living room door is closed, the soundproofing is decent.

Chu Tianshu was in the courtyard when he turned on his wristwatch.

"Senior He, I thought you were going to chat with them."

"This kind of thing is definitely not our responsibility. I might glance at the results when I have time, but with your deterrent action this time, our chances of making more friends have greatly increased."

The sound of Helai came from the wristwatch, sounding much younger than before.

His voice was clear and gentle, almost like that of a young boy. After a couple of happy words, he started to complain.

"Oh, speaking of your strength, I finally went into seclusion and became Taboo, and when I came out, I heard that you had killed five Taboo."

"Little Chu, do you know how I felt at that time?"

Chu Tianshu laughed heartily, "You must be happy for me."

The Helai choked on its own.

"Yes, of course I'm happy for you."

He gritted his teeth and said, "But next time there's a big surprise like this, could you give me a little hint, a clue?"

Chu Tianshu immediately said, "I didn't know beforehand. I just came to Busan and encountered so many Taboo."

Helai asked suspiciously, "You don't know?"

"I really don't know."

Chu Tianshu explained, "I insisted on coming to Busan for other reasons; I really didn't expect to encounter these things."

"Okay, your materials look pretty futuristic, I thought... hmph."

Helai grunted twice and said, "It seems it really isn't your fault; it's all the fault of Grotto-Heaven."

Chu Tianshu wholeheartedly agreed.

"Yes, it's all the fault of the Seven Po Cave-Heaven."

"Seniors, have you found a way to satisfy both sides and deal with this Grotto-Heaven?"

Helai, "Yanxia has come up with a plan, but he's not confident of success even once. He's gone to the Northwest to make preparations."

Chu Tianshu asked curiously, "The Northwest?"

"Yes, do you still remember that secret realm in the Northwest?"

Helai, "The ruins of the Grotto-Heaven are located between two realms. Whether in the real world or the Spirit Realm, it is very troublesome to cast spells on people associated with it."

"And that secret realm in the northwest is located within the space between the two realms."

"From a practical standpoint, the spatial distance to Busan is quite far, but from a magical perspective, it can be considered a shortcut for casting spells, making them much closer."

"Furthermore, if we're in that secret realm in the Northwest, it would be convenient for Lin Chucheng to lend a hand."

Chu Tianshu's heart stirred.

He remembered that the secret cave was built around the stone tablet related to the Queen Mother of the West's Kingdom, and had been imbued with the aura of the stone tablet for two thousand years.

By sheer chance, Lin Chucheng inherited all the special spiritual energy within the stone tablet. After entering the Taboo, his strength was likely no less than Zhao Qinglang's.

With this person re-entering the secret realm, the chances of success are increased by another layer.

Chu Tianshu asked, "So, what preparations do we need to make on our side?"

Helai hesitated for a moment.

"We need to check first whether the large equipment we installed in the secret realm can connect to your signal."

"In addition, we have recruited many people with reliable backgrounds from the public, who will also participate in this operation later."

"We need to let General Yungu get to know them."

Helai concluded by giving a summary.

"Why don't you start a live stream for General Yungu first?"
