38: Chapter 38 Qin Xiaogan's Scheme

The Investigation Bureau members were initially hesitant.

When they realized that there were Soul Reagents to be had, they all filed forward and spat thick phlegm at Xie Xiyun.

Xie Xiyun's dark hair was already soaked.

Yellow, viscous matter hung from it, looking quite nauseating.

Young Master Li Qingfeng grinned from ear to ear: "This is how I felt a few days ago. Do you get it now, my fiancée?"

Xie Xiyun's expression was numb, and something in her heart was gradually shattering.

It was something she had always steadfastly guarded.

"Boring."

Young Master Li Qingfeng yawned and said: "Let's go. Once those refugees are converted into Soul Reagents, the task my father entrusted to me will be considered complete."

Upon hearing this, Xie Xiyun's pupils dilated sharply.

Jiang Sheng asked skeptically: "Young Master, why not kill her? In case her strength recovers..."

Young Master Li Qingfeng sneered: "Her father is Marquis Wuan. You want to kill her?"

Jiang Sheng shook his head hurriedly.

Team Leader Lu Jiancheng, who had been silent all this time, suddenly said: "Young Master Li, once we get that batch of Soul Reagents, I will definitely help you kill Qin Xiaogan."

Young Master Li Qingfeng patted his shoulder: "Rest assured, you will get your share."

Immediately after, Young Master Li Qingfeng said to the Investigation Bureau members: "You all go and help. Once this conversion is successful, Director Ma will surely reward you heavily when he returns."

A middle-aged investigator hesitated and said: "Young Master Li, isn't it usually just death row inmates and civilian corpses that are converted?"

"Why suddenly..."

Young Master Li Qingfeng said grimly: "This mission was planned jointly by Director Ma and my father. What? Do you want to defy us?!"

The crowd waved their hands hurriedly: "We wouldn't dare, we wouldn't dare."

Suddenly, a weak voice rang out in the conference room.

"Director Ma would never agree to this. This is treason!"

Young Master Li Qingfeng said playfully: "Oh my, Team Leader Xie, you really are naive."

"Do you think all those Soul Reagents at the Investigation Bureau just fell from the sky?"

Xie Xiyun lifted her grime-covered face with great effort and said firmly: "If you do this, you will definitely face sanctions from the Imperial Capital."

Young Master Li Qingfeng sighed: "Ignore her, she's an idiot. Let's go."

"Yes."

The group walked toward the city gate one after another.

Xie Xiyun crawled slowly and with great difficulty on the ground.

I must stop them!

The refugees must not be harmed.

"Ugh, damn Young Master Li Qingfeng, crossing the river and burning the bridge!"

Lin Li climbed up from the ground and brushed the dust off his body.

Just as he was about to leave the conference room, his peripheral vision caught sight of Xie Xiyun on the floor.

Lin Li's eyes lit up: "Team Leader Xie, do you need some help?"

Xie Xiyun's eyes gleamed with cold light, and she spat out one word: "Get lost."

An unnamed fire surged in Lin Li's heart, and he gritted his teeth and said: "You'll be crying soon enough!"

After speaking, Lin Li actually began to strip off his own clothes.

Xie Xiyun said in horror: "What are you trying to do?!"

Lin Li leered: "I'm going to have you, of course!"

He then stepped forward, intending to touch Xie Xiyun's ample chest.

Suddenly, a golden gemstone appeared between Xie Xiyun's brows, glowing brilliantly.

Just as Xie Xiyun's eyes were tinged with gold, a faint voice sounded from behind Lin Li.

"Tsk, the Investigation Bureau really is full of trash."

Lin Li turned around in a hurry: "Who!"

Qin Xiaogan said with a beaming smile: "You are truly disgusting to look at."

After saying that, amidst Lin Li's terrified gaze, a hand as powerful as an iron pincer suddenly reached out.

The large hand accurately and firmly gripped his slender throat.

Lin Li squeezed words out from between his teeth with difficulty: "Spare... me."

Qin Xiaogan said helplessly: "Sorry, I don't want to hear last words today."

"Crack!"

Qin Xiaogan's right hand crushed Lin Li's throat.

Blood flowed slowly down Lin Li's body.

Immediately after, Qin Xiaogan waved his left hand lightly.

【Primordial Smelting Furnace】

Lin Li's soul was quickly sucked into the furnace.

Soon, a shrill scream rang out.

"Emperor Qin!! Spare me!!

"Let me go! I was wrong!"

Qin Xiaogan rubbed his ears: "Noisy."

Xie Xiyun's mouth hung open, and she looked at Qin Xiaogan in shock.

Qin Xiaogan took out a white cloth and gently wiped the blood from his hand.

"Xie Xiyun, we meet again."

Xie Xiyun kept her head down, silent.

Qin Xiaogan narrowed his eyes, and a burst of spiritual energy suddenly enveloped Xie Xiyun.

Just when Xie Xiyun thought Qin Xiaogan was about to finish her off, she suddenly felt a sense of freshness throughout her body, as if she had just taken a bath.

Xie Xiyun quickly looked at her hair; there was no filth left, it was cleaner and brighter than before.

Qin Xiaogan said with satisfaction: "Much easier on the eyes now."

Xie Xiyun replied softly: "Thank you."

Just as she finished speaking, a sharp pain shot through Xie Xiyun's back.

This pain made her complexion look extremely ugly.

A smile hung on Qin Xiaogan's face: "I'll help you kill Young Master Li Qingfeng, you tell me one thing, how about it?"

Xie Xiyun pondered for a long while: "What thing?"

Qin Xiaogan said slowly: "I heard Director Ma has a son..."

Xie Xiyun immediately replied: "No way!"

Qin Xiaogan said gently: "Add to that the lives of hundreds of thousands of refugees outside Yang City."

Xie Xiyun's pupils contracted, and her red lips trembled slightly.

"Why should I believe you?"

Qin Xiaogan said softly: "My patience is limited."

Xie Xiyun stared into Qin Xiaogan's clear black-and-white eyes, and couldn't help but feel a hint of grievance in her heart.

A moment later, Xie Xiyun sighed: "West District, No. 36 Yuzhong Road."

Qin Xiaogan's eyes smiled: "Very good, happy to cooperate."

Xie Xiyun said hurriedly: "He is an ordinary person, don't hurt him."

"I know what I'm doing."

Qin Xiaogan's gaze turned toward the corner of the wall.

Soon, Xiao Heizi walked out slowly, holding his blade.

"Emperor Qin."

"Take her back."

Xiao Heizi said respectfully: "Understood."

Xie Xiyun's beautiful eyes widened: "Qin Xiaogan, don't forget what you promised me."

Qin Xiaogan smiled: "Of course, but I'm not the one who will save him."

Xie Xiyun frowned: "If not you, then who?"

Qin Xiaogan said coldly: "What are you still standing there for? Take her away."

"Yes!"

Xiao Heizi hurriedly picked up Xie Xiyun and fled hastily.

Qin Xiaogan pinched the bridge of his nose and muttered: "No matter whose layout this is, in this play, you are ultimately just a supporting character."

...

Qin Xiaogan arrived at Feng Tao's residence, and with a casual wave of his hand, he transformed himself into the appearance of Gan Xiaoqin.

Feng Tao and her teammates were pacing back and forth in the room, anxious.

"Sister Tao, what exactly happened at the Investigation Bureau?"

"I'm not sure, Xi Yun hasn't replied to my messages until now."

"Lin Li hasn't replied to messages either."

Feng Tao said seriously: "We can't just sit and wait. Let's go to the temporary base now."

Xiao Mai suddenly said: "Sister Tao, what about Gan Xiaoqin? Didn't you say you picked him up?"

Feng Tao's expression stiffened: "Uh..."

She suddenly came to her senses and hurriedly searched everywhere in the house.

Xiao Mai's eyes were full of suspicion: "You didn't lose him, did you?"

Shi Dachun said worriedly: "Gan Xiaoqin's hands and feet are broken, where could he have gone?"

The bald middle-aged man joked: "He wasn't dragged back by the Four Kings Pavilion again, was he?"

"..."

The scene fell into a deathly silence.
