101: Chapter 101 The Other Side of Director Sun

Upon hearing the words "Director Sun," the masked man seemed very resistant, growling, "Qin Lulu, I can help you do all the dirty work, but don't go too far! I don't know what use that ring has; after snatching it from Xiao Chen, I handed it to you immediately."

Qin Lulu fiddled with her long, delicate nails and lowered her head to think. The killing intent in her eyes receded slightly but transformed into a wave of hatred: "So, that means Xiao Chen knew I wanted to snatch the ring… No… Wasn't Xiao Chen killed by you? The ring should still be on you!"

As she spoke, the hatred in her eyes turned back into killing intent.

She suddenly produced a jade talisman, clutching it in her hand as she threatened, "Hand over the ring! Otherwise, I will invite Elder Xiao to come out of seclusion! Neither of us will get anything out of this!"

"Qin Lulu, you are truly sick. Must you be so suspicious of me?"

At this point, the masked man simply took off his mask, revealing a square face with thick eyebrows and deep, stern eyes that seemed to carry an inherent authority, though he was frowning at the moment.

"Fine, since things have come to this, I can only tell you the truth. That Xiao Chen… is not dead!"

"What did you say? Xiao Chen is not dead!?"

Qin Lulu's eyes filled with disbelief, and she turned to glare fiercely at Sun Yaowu: "How the hell are you doing things! You, a Golden Core Realm Cultivator, can't even kill someone in the Qi Refining Realm?"

Sun Yaowu wore a bitter expression: "I stabbed him several times back then, and I destroyed both his Spiritual Root and Dantian. He should have been dead for sure. Who knew that when I went back to confirm later, his body had disappeared!"

"Couldn't you have burned him? Couldn't you have chopped him into mincemeat? You are a dignified Director of the Justice Bureau; do I have to teach you how to kill someone? You really are… useless at everything you do!"

Qin Lulu said angrily.

Sun Yaowu was also somewhat angry: "Qin Lulu! Don't you shout at me! I respect Elder Xiao of the Xiao Family and that person from the Qin Family; don't you dare put on airs in front of me!"

"Hmph…"

Qin Lulu sneered, "And don't forget, you are just a dog raised by my Xiao and Qin Families! Don't you understand that my will is the will of the Xiao Family, and my will also represents the will of the Qin Family!"

Sun Yaowu also snorted slightly, "An elder having an affair with his granddaughter-in-law—if that got out, I'm afraid the entire Nandu would be shocked, right?"

"What did you say!?"

Qin Lulu gritted her teeth, a clicking sound echoing. Her beautiful large eyes were bloodshot as she glared fixedly at Sun Yaowu, furious to the extreme!

"Alright, I didn't come here to argue with you! I admit I was wrong!"

Sun Yaowu seemed to cave in instantly, raising his hands as he said.

But Qin Lulu was unrelenting. Her Foundation Establishment Realm spiritual power erupted, and she reached out, slapping Sun Yaowu across the face, one slap after another: "You think you're so clean, huh! Have you done fewer bad deeds than me? You can't handle a small task, yet you dare to talk about my private affairs! I really want to kill you! You are truly not a human being!"

Sun Yaowu endured her slaps without using his spiritual power to resist, only growling, "Enough! Now tell me what we should do!"

Qin Lulu calmed down a bit and said coldly, "First, find Xiao Chen. Second, find the ring. If you can't do that, don't bother being the Director anymore."

Sun Yaowu said: "I suspect that the major case recently in our Ninth Safe Zone was caused by this Xiao Chen. Finding him shouldn't be hard, but… yesterday I heard from Su Fan and Qin Xiaoxiao that they encountered a Nascent Soul Stage Primordial Spirit outside, which was very powerful. Could this be related to the ring you mentioned?"

Qin Lulu also looked thoughtful and said slowly, "Su Fan… Xiaoxiao… Could they know something?"

Sun Yaowu took out two documents from his person and handed them to Qin Lulu: "These are the written reports submitted by the two of them. Do you want to take a look?"

"No need. I'll just go ask Xiaoxiao directly."

Qin Lulu opened the back car door, "Get out of the car. Make sure to find the ring for me as soon as possible!"

"Yes, Young Madam."

Sun Yaowu said, put on his mask, got out of the car, and then disappeared into the darkness of the underground parking lot…

Just as Qin Lulu was about to drive back to the Qin Family to find Qin Xiaoxiao, she suddenly received a phone call.

"I have come out of seclusion. Come over."

Hearing this aged voice, Qin Lulu let out an "Mm," then bit her lip and angrily threw the phone aside.

The sound of her cursing under her breath echoed inside the car.

"Damn old man! Besides getting drool all over me, what else can you do…"

…

The next morning at nine o'clock, Su Fan and Qin Xiaoxiao arrived at the Director's office together.

Sun Yaowu's face had some slight swelling, but he was still beaming with joy, puffing on a cigar, a kind smile hanging on the corners of his mouth, revealing white teeth, looking amiable.

"Su Fan… Qin Xiaoxiao, do you two have something to report?"

As he spoke, Sun Yaowu took a puff of his cigar and suddenly looked at Qin Xiaoxiao: "Qin Xiaoxiao, did your sister look for you last night?"

Qin Xiaoxiao felt this question was a bit strange.

Last night she had been busy arguing with her parents and hadn't seen her sister since leaving the seafood restaurant, so she shook her head.

Sun Yaowu nodded slightly, his face always maintaining a smile.

"Director, it's like this…"

Just as Su Fan was about to speak, Qin Xiaoxiao spoke for him.

"Su-su… uh, ptooey! Deputy Section Chief Su knows where that Nascent Soul-level Primordial Spirit is. I wonder if the Director could apply to the higher-ups to carry out an arrest tonight? After all, this Primordial Spirit possesses Nascent Soul cultivation, which is not something our Justice Bureau can handle."

Hearing this, Sun Yaowu tapped his knuckles lightly on the desk and glanced at Su Fan, feeling a bit puzzled inside. It was one thing for this kid to hide his Golden Core Realm cultivation, but to think he could escape unscathed from a Nascent Soul-level monster while bringing Qin Xiaoxiao with him?

What kind of secrets is he hiding?

However, compared to these things, he was more worried about Xiao Chen and the ring, so he said to Qin Xiaoxiao: "To deal with a Nascent Soul-level monster, we would have to invite those experts high in the sky to come down, but they take orders from the Ministry of State Security and are not people I can summon. So, unless…"

"Unless what?"

Qin Xiaoxiao asked.

Hearing this, Su Fan was also greatly shocked. The experts guarding the city's defensive barrier high in the sky actually all took orders from the Ministry of State Security, and even the Justice Bureau had no authority to command them…

No wonder these Heaven-Patrolling Experts never offered to help with the Justice Bureau's cases.

Sun Yaowu stubbed out his cigar in the ashtray and looked at Qin Xiaoxiao with sharp, deep eyes: "Unless you let your sister ask Elder Xiao to come out of seclusion."

Qin Xiaoxiao was stunned, "Could it be that Elder Xiao has reached the Nascent Soul Realm?"

Sun Yaowu chuckled, "The citizens only know that the Wang Family hires many Cultivators, but they don't know that the Xiao Family is the true place where hidden talents reside. And besides, there is certainly more than just Elder Xiao at the Nascent Soul Realm, but if you can invite Elder Xiao, that would naturally be better… Do you understand what I mean?"

Upon hearing this, Qin Xiaoxiao nodded: "Alright, I will call my sister in a while!"

After coming out of the Director's office with Qin Xiaoxiao, Su Fan was very puzzled. Why ask Qin Lulu to invite Elder Xiao to come out of seclusion?

Also, had Elder Xiao really Cultivated to the Nascent Soul Realm?

The Four Great Families, especially the Xiao Family, seem to be hiding many secrets…
