182: Chapter 182 is a huge success, granting me a thousand merit points!

Lei Dapao's rough, raspy voice was extremely effective in the spacious hall.

The group of bodyguards, still in a state of shock, couldn't even muster the thought of resisting.

They readily tossed away their stun batons and, with practiced ease, squatted in a row with their hands behind their heads.

The SWAT Team members rushed forward, subduing the dozen or so bodyguards one by one.

As soon as Qin Yumo entered the hall, she immediately caught the extremely pungent smell of blood.

She looked in the direction of the scent.

Ma Tengfei's emaciated, skin-and-bones corpse was lying face down in a pool of blood.

Qin Yumo approached the corpse with her gun raised, moving with extreme caution.

She extended two fingers to check Ma Tengfei's carotid artery.

Then, she stood up and signaled to Captain Lei that he was dead.

Captain Lei nodded, paying no mind to the dead man.

He strode over to the charcoal-blackened evil cultivator, Wu Ming.

Wu Ming was struggling just to breathe, slumped on the ground like a dead dog.

Captain Lei grabbed Wu Ming's arm with extreme roughness.

"Click, click."

Cold handcuffs locked tightly around Wu Ming's scrawny wrists.

After finishing this, Captain Lei finally looked up and scanned the crowd in the hall.

Mayor Zhao Donghai of Jiangcheng City stepped out from the crowd.

He straightened his clothes and walked straight up to Captain Lei.

"Captain Lei, you've arrived just in time."

"I am Zhao Donghai."

Captain Lei quickly offered a salute.

Zhao Donghai waved his hand, pointing at the corpse on the ground and the remnants of the array.

"What happened today can only be described as deranged."

"This Ma Tengfei set up a harmful thing underground called the Life-Stealing Evil Array."

Zhao Donghai began to recount exactly what had just happened.

Pointing at Ma Tengfei and Wu Ming, he clearly explained how they had set up the array to siphon people's lifespans.

The hundreds of business tycoons around them nodded repeatedly, chiming in one after another.

"That's right! Every word Mayor Zhao said is true!"

"If Master Su hadn't been here, we all would have died today!"

"Ma Tengfei is a beast!"

Everyone spoke over one another, testifying on behalf of Su Yun.

Hundreds of voices speaking at once provided Su Yun with the strongest possible official endorsement.

After hearing this, Captain Lei turned to look at Su Yun, who was standing not far away, looking as if nothing had happened.

Su Yun was scrolling through short videos on his phone.

He looked completely unconcerned, like a bystander just watching the fun.

At this moment, the forensic examiner walked in, carrying an investigation kit.

Several people in white lab coats crouched down beside Ma Tengfei's corpse.

After some procedures, the lead examiner stood up and reported to Captain Lei.

"Captain Lei, the preliminary examination results are out."

"The deceased suffered from acute multi-organ failure and severe dehydration."

"The specific cause will require an autopsy back at the station, but judging by the appearance, it's a total collapse of physiological functions."

When this was said, the eyes of the wealthy and powerful in the hall shone even brighter as they looked at Su Yun.

Because the forensic results were exactly the same as the conclusion Su Yun had just made.

Qin Yumo holstered her service weapon and strode over to Su Yun with her long legs.

She looked at the extremely young yet incredibly mysterious man before her.

"Su Yun, we owe you again this time."

Su Yun didn't even look up, his fingers swiping across his phone screen.

"Don't flatter me; I just came here for a free meal."

"Who knew the richest man in Jiangcheng couldn't handle hunger and had to suck other people's lifespans for a midnight snack."

Qin Yumo rolled her eyes at his remark.

She lowered her voice and spoke.

"Actually, the bureau had been keeping an eye on Ma Tengfei for a long time."

"We had leads on his involvement in underground organ trafficking and were already monitoring the perimeter of the villa today."

"We just didn't expect him to cause such an outrageous scene."

Hearing the words "organ trafficking."

Su Yun gave a cold laugh.

No wonder this old guy had such a high sin value.

Engaging in such heinous business, he deserved to die.

Just then, a crisp system notification rang in Su Yun's mind.

[Ding!] [Congratulations to the host for shattering the large-scale Life-Stealing Evil Array.] [Successfully saved the lives of a hundred victims.] [Completely eradicated the leader of the underground organ trafficking network.] [System Rating: Perfect!] [Cumulative merit points reward: 1000 points!]

Hearing this number, Su Yun was in a great mood.

One thousand merit points—this was definitely a huge sum.

His previous investments had paid off, and now he could do some serious draws.

At the other end of the hall, real estate tycoon Chu Mushang hurried over to Captain Lei.

He took out his phone and displayed the record of the one-billion transfer to Su Yun.

"Captain Lei, the situation is this."

"My son, Chu Tianjiao, has been poisoned and is hanging by a thread."

"Master Su only managed to keep him alive just now."

Chu Mushang pointed at the unconscious Chu Tianjiao lying on the ground.

"The Chu family will absolutely cooperate fully with the follow-up investigation."

"But could you make an exception for now and let Master Su completely cure my son first?"

Captain Lei glanced at the puddle of black, poisonous blood on the floor and waved his hand.

"Saving lives is the priority; go handle it quickly."

"Come to the station to file a statement once you're done."

Chu Mushang felt as if he had been granted amnesty and thanked him repeatedly.

He rushed over to Su Yun, bowing until his waist was almost touching his thighs.

"Master Su, the police have agreed."

"Regarding Chu Tianjiao's poison..."

Su Yun pocketed his phone and clapped his hands.

"Go prepare a room that is absolutely quiet."

"No one is allowed to enter without my permission."

Chu Mushang nodded repeatedly.

"Yes, yes, yes! I'll arrange it immediately!"

He turned and shouted at his bodyguards.

"What are you standing there like idiots for!"

"Hurry up and carry the young master to the villa's VIP guest room!"

Several bodyguards rushed over and carefully lifted Chu Tianjiao.

The group quickly left the chaotic banquet hall.

The VIP guest room at Qinglong Villa was at the end of the second-floor corridor.

The bodyguards placed Chu Tianjiao on the large, soft bed and then tactfully retreated.

Su Yun stepped over the threshold, preparing to close the door.

Qin Yumo stood outside the door like a bodyguard.

"I'll stay outside and keep watch."

"I guarantee not even a fly will be able to get in."

Su Yun glanced at her.

"Suit yourself."

The door slammed shut.

Only Su Yun and the unconscious Chu Tianjiao remained in the room.

Although the black spots on Chu Tianjiao's face had stopped spreading, the color was still terrifyingly dark.

The foul stench of the corpse poison was extremely pungent in the room.

Su Yun walked to the bedside and directly activated an extremely domineering marrow-cleansing technique, coordinating it with the spirit energy from his Tai Xuan Qi Induction Mantra.

He reached out and pulled the three Taiyi Divine Needles from Chu Tianjiao's body.

Immediately after, his fingers moved like afterimages, continuously pressing on several major acupoints on Chu Tianjiao's chest.

A stream of extremely pure spirit energy flowed from Su Yun's fingertips and directly into Chu Tianjiao's body.

The spirit energy entered his body.

Chu Tianjiao's previously rigid body began to tremble violently.

The black corpse poison within him seemed to have encountered a terrifying natural enemy.

It was driven back frantically by the domineering spirit energy.

Su Yun picked up a large stainless steel container from the bedside table and placed it at the edge of the bed.

Then, holding a silver needle, he made an incision in the vein on Chu Tianjiao's wrist.

"Pfft!"

A stream of extremely viscous, foul-smelling black blood sprayed out.

The black blood landed precisely into the stainless steel container.

The temperature in the room seemed to drop by a few degrees.
