178: I was dug out too!

“However, this is also good,” Su Yu suddenly laughed, thinking to himself, “At least, it lets me know who has ill intentions. This way, I have a target.”

“Zhou Xizi’s arrival was timely and brilliant! If Zhou Ji had come, my Grand Tutor Wen’s Third Divine Eye wouldn’t have been able to discern him!”

The Third Divine Eye was severely damaged and couldn’t discern everyone.

“Minister, don’t be like this. You’re about to die, yet you’re still laughing. It makes me feel a bit creeped out!” Lei Gang suddenly spoke.

Su Yu looked up at Lei Gang and suddenly said, “Lei Gang, I have something I need you to do.”

“At a time like this, you still have the mood for these things?” Lei Gang said helplessly.

“Before I die, I want to pull off something big, but I need your cooperation,” Su Yu said.

“Go on,” Lei Gang was even more helpless.

What was Su Yu thinking?

He couldn’t figure it out.

“Come closer and listen.”

…

A moment later, Lei Gang’s brows furrowed. He looked at Su Yu, thought for a moment, and finally nodded.

“Then I’ll go!” Lei Gang left.

Outside, his voice echoed, “Assemble! Everyone, assemble!”

Within the Department, Night Watchers immediately gathered.

“Two teams, stay and guard the Department. The rest of you, go out on patrol!”

“This team, follow me on patrol!”

“The Minister is seriously injured and is in great danger right now. Someone might attack, so everyone, stay alert and be serious!”

Captain Lei said.

Soon, Captain Lei led a team of Night Watchers out on patrol.

After patrolling for a while, Captain Lei seemed a bit tired and sat down in a shady spot, muttering, “Su Yu is going to die anyway, yet he still wants me to patrol? Isn’t this just messing with me?”

Captain Lei sounded a bit angry.

Within the team, one person’s heart suddenly stirred. He thought for a moment, then approached, smiling, “Captain Lei, please don’t say that. Patrolling is our duty.”

“Besides, a Minister is a Minister. You can’t curse the Minister!”

Among the three Seven Kill Sect members mixed into the Department, Su Yu knew about them but had never cleaned them out.

The one speaking now was one of them.

“When did I curse the Minister?” Captain Lei snorted lightly and said, “Someone from East District One came, you know that, right?”

The other person nodded.

Captain Lei continued, “That’s Zhou Xizi from East District One. Her medical skills are heaven-defying; as long as there’s a breath left, she can save them.”

“But after she saw the Minister, she told the Minister that he could prepare for his funeral.”

“She said the Minister doesn’t have long to live, and will definitely die within seven days!”

“What do you make of this?”

Upon hearing this, everyone’s Faces showed sadness.

Is the Minister really going to die?

…

Department, in the office.

Zong Jin’s 3D holographic projection appeared. He looked at Su Yu, frowning, and said, “I just finished a meeting. Zhou Xizi called to tell me you don’t have long to live, and will definitely die within seven days. Is that true?”

“How would I know?” Su Yu said, “Anyway, Zhou Xizi told me the same thing.”

Zong Jin’s brows furrowed even deeper.

“You don’t need to worry. Zhou Xizi can’t save you! I’ll save you!” Zong Jin’s gaze was very firm. “East District One does have some treasures, but they might not be enough to save you.”

“However, the headquarters has some. I’ll go to the headquarters now and get you an Immortal Herb to save you!”

“Believe me, although I’m just the Deputy Minister of East District One, I still have some Face.”

“Additionally, I’ll arrange for people to go out to sea, deep into the Pacific Ocean, to capture a War God Realm Dragon. Your life can definitely be saved.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yu couldn’t help but feel a bit touched.

Not all Night Watchers were bad people; there were still good ones.

“How about you come to Tianhe City for a visit?” Su Yu’s heart stirred, and he said, “I have some things to tell you.”

Over in East District One, Zong Jin was trustworthy.

This wasn’t his own judgment.

Rather, it was what Senior Jiang from the headquarters had said back then.

“Coincidentally, I also have some things to tell you,” Zong Jin said. “It’s better to speak in person.”

“Then, see you later.”

The 3D holographic projection disappeared.

Su Yu waited quietly.

Half an hour later, Zong Jin arrived, looking travel-worn and with a solemn expression.

As soon as he entered, he grabbed Su Yu’s wrist, and a force surged into it, exploring for a moment.

“Damn it!”

“You really are going to die!”

“I was still thinking if you were faking it, preparing to set someone up!”

Zong Jin’s expression instantly turned incredibly grim.

To arrive earlier, he had even used a treasure, but the result was still disappointing.

“Alright, alright…” Su Yu smiled, “Didn’t you have something to tell me? While you still can, hurry and say it.”

“You, at a time like this, you can still smile?” Zong Jin felt a bit frustrated.

After a pause, Zong Jin then said, “The meeting was mainly to discuss you killing the Night Watchers.”

“What was the outcome?” Su Yu asked.

“Outcome? What outcome?” Zong Jin said, “The headquarters is also discussing it, and there’s no outcome yet!”

“Then what are everyone’s opinions?” Su Yu asked.

“Some people choose to support you, believing that those Night Watchers deserved to die! Their deaths are not to be regretted!”

Zong Jin said, “There are also some people who stated that even if the Night Watchers had problems, it wasn’t up to you, Su Yu, to kill them! If you killed them, even if it’s proven afterward that they all had problems, you still have to bear responsibility!”

“Otherwise, in the future, wouldn’t all Night Watchers be able to act first and report later?”

“If they didn’t kill the wrong person, that’s fine, but what if they killed the wrong person?”

“Besides that, there are also some people who neither support nor oppose; they remain silent.”

“Currently, that’s how it is!”

Upon hearing this, Su Yu pondered for a moment and asked, “There’s someone named Zhou Ji. What’s his attitude?”

“Zhou Ji?” Zong Jin glanced at Su Yu and said, “Zhou Ji, he stood up to protect you.”

“Oh?” Su Yu was a bit surprised.

He had just suspected Zhou Ji of being problematic, but it turned out Zhou Ji was on his side?

“A bit surprised?” Zong Jin said.

Su Yu nodded.

“I suspect there are bad people among the high-ranking officials of East District One. Currently, I’ve pinpointed two people: one is Zhou Ji, and the other is Liu Tao,” Zong Jin said. “However, this time, not only did Zhou Ji stand by you, but Liu Tao also did.”

“Who is Liu Tao?” Su Yu asked.

“I forgot, you’ve only been a Night Watcher for a few days!” Zong Jin chuckled and introduced, “Liu Tao, like Zhou Ji, was also unearthed.”

“They are actually ancient humans!”

“Zhou Ji, from the Zhou Family, had over ten thousand people unearthed.”

“Liu Tao, from the Liu Clan, had over twenty thousand people unearthed!”

“Speaking of which, they are quite similar to the Lüqiu Clan from back then.”

Upon hearing this, Su Yu frowned and blurted out, “All these unearthed ancient humans deserve to die!”

“I was also unearthed!” Zong Jin’s gaze was very unfriendly; he wished he could kill Su Yu.
