This case…
He was definitely going to break through.
No matter who did it, they wouldn’t get away with it.
Not only for the sake of his mission, but also out of respect for his profession.
That was what Xu Bai was thinking. He glanced at the tracking doll that was still rolling its eyes. He smiled and said to An Ya on the other end of the phone, “Since Team Leader An is here to persuade me, why don’t you tell me the truth back then? I can close the case directly. What do you think of this suggestion?”
An Ya said without hesitation, “I don’t think that’s a good idea.”
Xu Bai smiled.
An Ya sounded as calm as ever.
“You should know that if it were anyone else, Su Bancheng wouldn’t have tried to get you to give up on this case through me.”
“I know.”
Xu Bai nodded.
For example, if the case was still in Chen Mo’s hands, Su Bancheng would not even be interested in talking to him. He would probably send someone to snatch the case away from Chen MO without even showing up.
This was him.
‘That’s not right.’
Xu Bai pondered. If this case happened before Su Meng’s birthday, Su
Bancheng would probably snatch the case away from him without thinking.
‘But…
It should be that the wave of help from the Old Factory Street shop yesterday made Su Bancheng look at him seriously.
An Ya started the car and drove away from the 48th Precinct.
“Back then, this case wasn’t that complicated. It’s just that the Su family didn’t want anyone to know, so this case was so difficult.”
“Difficult?”
“Yes.”
“It’s difficult? Then don’t do it.
“No one can stop me from investigating this case. Not Su Bancheng, nor you.
Goodbye, Team Leader An.”
With that,
Xu Bai looked at the tracking puppet that had ended its search. He hung up the phone.
The next second.
He looked at the tracking doll.
Ding!
“Tracking and positioning locked!”
“Do you want to start?”
Start up!
The two diamond-like eyes of the tracking puppet holding a kitchen knife instantly glowed red. It waved the kitchen knife in its hand twice, then it jumped to the ground and ran out of the door.
Upon seeing this, Xu Bail s thoughts cleared. With a flip of his right hand, he took out the Hundred Transformations Mask. The moment he followed the tracking doll out, he had already successfully put Xu Xian on the line.
An Ya listened to the dial tone on the phone and did not continue to make calls. Instead, she closed her phone and drove ten miles to Su Manor.
“Yes?”
As soon as An Ya got out of the car, she sensed that something was wrong. She looked in the direction of the main building and frowned. “Heavenly secrets?”
Was someone was using heavenly secrets as a guide to forge a Dao foundation in the manor? ‘Who?’
Su Ruyu?
Only the people of the Archaic Mysteries sect knew this kind of cultivation method that used the heavenly secrets as a guide to forge a Dao foundation. And because the price of prying into the heavenly secrets could be big or small, the Archaic Mysteries sect basically would not accept outsiders as disciples. This was also the reason why the Archaic Mysteries sect was called the Su family.
Just as An Ya was looking at the heavenly secrets that led to the main building, Su Bancheng appeared at the door.
Su Bancheng looked at An Ya, who was looking up at the main building, and smiled. “Team Leader An.”
An Ya came back to her senses and looked at Su Bancheng. “Ruyu has decided to join…”
Before she could finish his sentence.
Su Ruyu followed closely behind Su Bancheng and appeared at the entrance of the main building.
“Ruyu.”
An Ya looked at Su Ruyu, who had greeted her, stunned. Then, she looked up at the changing clouds above the main building. She seemed to realize something and looked at Su Bancheng with a shocked expression. “Did Su Meng enter the
Dao?”
How was this possible?
Su Meng’s foundation was damaged. If her foundation was not repaired, she could not cultivate an immortal cultivation path.
Furthermore…
Even if his foundation was completed, it was impossible for him to enter the Dao overnight.
An Ya frowned and thought of a possibility. She looked at Su Bancheng and asked, “Did your father pass away?”
If that was the case, it was possible for him to use his entire life’s cultivation to make up for Su Meng’s innately damaged foundation. At the same time, he could forcefully cross Su Meng and enter the Dao.
Su Bancheng quickly shook his head.
“…How is that possible?” “Then what’s going on?”
“It’s a long story.”
Su Bancheng waved his hand and changed the topic. “Team Leader An, how’s Xu Bai?”
An Ya glanced at Su Bancheng, who had changed the topic, and then at the rolling clouds. She did not continue the topic.
Anyway, he would know what was going on inside later.
An Ya shook her head.
Su Bancheng and Su Ruyu looked at each other.
She looked at An Ya and said nervously, “An Ya, do you think Xu Bai already knows what happened back then?” An Ya nodded.
Su Ruyu’s face instantly paled.
The next second.
An Ya shook her head again and looked at Su Ruyu. “He probably thinks that what happened back then is the same as the rumors outside. He thinks that you are trying to stop him from investigating for this reason.”
She snapped back to reality and looked at An Ya. Not only did she not look nervous, but she even looked relieved. “That’s great.”
This was very magical.
It seemed to Su Ruyu that it was better to be mistaken for her and her brother than to be found out about the truth back then.
Su Bancheng’s expression didn’t change. Instead, he looked at An Ya and said in a deep voice, “But if he insists on investigating, I’m afraid he’ll find out the truth sooner or later.”
Her expression tightened again. “An Ya, we can’t let him continue his investigation.”
An Ya opened her mouth.
She also knew that she couldn’t let Xu Bai continue investigating.
‘But…
On the surface, the method to stop Xu Bail s investigation had already failed. If they directly walked up and forcefully took this case away, it would blow up and other people would probably look at them. That would be even worse.
Su Bancheng, who was standing at the side, did not speak.
The next second.
There was a pop.
Su Bancheng’s face instantly turned pale and flushed red. Then, his face turned pale and he suddenly spat out a mouthful of blood.
Su Ruyu was shocked. “Brother.”
“Don’t touch me.”
The pale-faced Su Bancheng looked at Su Ruyu, who was running over, and hurriedly stretched out his hand to stop her. Then, he immediately sat down cross-legged. With a buzz, the Eight Trigrams shadow instantly covered his entire body.
An Ya looked at Su Bancheng with a serious expression.
Actually, she didn’t know what the truth was about the case 21 years ago.
For example, Su Meng’s background.
However, there were two things that could be confirmed.
Back then, it was indeed Zuo Lei and the other two who tried to kidnap Su Ruyu. During the process of trying to resist arrest, they accidentally fell into the river and ran to the Great Desolate World for some reason.
Also, Su Meng’s background was definitely not as ridiculous as the rumors said.
There was nothing between Su Ruyu and Su Bancheng.
However, all these years, Su Bancheng had never been close to women, nor did he have any scandal partners. Therefore, some despicable people had put this inexplicable speculation on themselves. An Ya was the only one who was certain.
But now?
An Ya looked at Su Bancheng, who was willing to risk his Dao foundation to see through heavenly secrets and the future, and couldn’t help but frown. What was the truth behind the mystery of Su Meng’s background?
After a long while.
Su Bancheng, who was sitting cross-legged in meditation, the Eight Trigrams phantom around him slowly faded. However, the black aura that symbolized calamity between his brows was still condensed and did not dissipate.
An Ya frowned. “Your cultivation…”
“It’s fine.
With a wave of his right hand, Su Bancheng took out two golden cores and fed them to his mouth. He slowly stood up. “It’s just a drop of three minor Realms. I’ll be fine after cultivating in seclusion for two days. At the same time, I can avoid calamities.”
Spying on the heavenly secrets could be said to be a heaven-defying act. Naturally, there was a price to pay for doing so.
And the price they had to pay was based on the heavenly secrets they were spying on.
Previously, Su Bancheng could spy on the heavenly secrets of ordinary people without any pressure because the heavenly secrets were not chaotic at that time. Moreover, his Level was higher than ordinary people, so even if there was a price to pay, it was just the price of drinking water and falling down.
But this time?
While the heavenly secrets were in chaos, they were also spying on a transcendent?
The price was not small.
The moment he peeped, Su Bancheng instantly fell by three minor Realms. At the same time, he was also plagued by calamities. Although it seemed that such calamities were not fatal, if he was not careful, it would probably be enough to make him suffer.
‘Still…’
His gains were not bad.
An Ya looked at Su Bancheng’s pale face and frowned. “Did you use heavenly secrets to spy on Xu Bai?”
Su Bancheng shook his head.
“No, you said it yourself. He has good fortune. The heavenly secrets are not chaotic, and one has to pay a huge price to spy on him, let alone now. I’m spying on Zuo Lei.” “You know where he is?”
“Yeah.”
Su Bancheng nodded.
He had been spying on Zuo Lei’s heavenly secrets just now. Under the prying of the heavenly secrets, not only did he see where Zuo Lei was now, but he could also see what Zuo Lei would say and who he would meet in the next 48 hours. The Heavenly Secrets Technique did not follow the rules of the game!
Seeing that, An Ya asked, “What did you see?”
Su Bancheng recalled the scene from the heavenly secrets spying on him, and his expression became a little strange. “Zuo Lei was injured. He used the Pseudocide Human Skin to save his life and almost killed his man…
At this point,
Su Bancheng paused and looked up at An Ya. “It’s Xu Bai!”
An Ya was stunned.
“That’s impossible.”
“Nothing is impossible. He has already established his Dao foundation. I can
guarantee it!”
