Discovered

Everyone's eyes widened, and they all felt it was somewhat unbelievable.

Tie Niu had such a past?

Tie Niu said weakly: "That... a good friend I knew before got sick and didn't have money for treatment, so I went to the pharmacy and stole some medicine."

Ye Chen was speechless. Stealing medicine from a pharmacy—those places have surveillance. You would have been better off stealing some money from the roadside!

Meanwhile.

Inside the university dormitory where Ye Chen and the others had just been, a group of people wearing black combat uniforms slowly approached.

The person in the lead checked his watch and looked up at the room where Ye Chen and the others had just been.

The leader waved his hand, and the group quickly rushed into the room.

They tiptoed to the door of the room, pressing tightly against the wall.

One person went to the door, kicked it open, and pointed their firearm into the room.

"Don't move!"

Everyone aimed their weapons at the room.

"Brother Lu, there's no one here!"

The leader lowered his weapon and entered the room. One person quickly picked up a watch and brought it to the one called Brother Lu.

"Brother Lu, look!"

Brother Lu picked up the watch and sighed slightly, saying: "Report to headquarters: the Fire Ape Squad captain, Hou Qinghua, and his team members have been killed!"

Everyone was instantly stunned, saying in disbelief: "Brother Lu, the Fire Ape Squad was killed?"

Brother Lu nodded and said: "Check all traces in the room. See if you can find any information about the killer. This group of people is quite smart; they knew this watch had a positioning System."

The others nodded upon hearing this and took out a round mechanical device.

The round mechanical device was called an Information Probe Light.

The Information Probe Light emitted a blue light, shining into the room.

Wherever the light shone, all DNA information was visible at a glance.

Lines of information appeared where the light touched.

Name: Liang Shangqi

Age: 19

Occupation: Student

...

One piece of information after another appeared, but unfortunately, they were all students who had lived here before.

Brother Lu frowned.

Just then, someone shouted: "Brother Lu, there is information on the door handle. It should be one of those people."

Brother Lu rushed over to check.

Name: Tie Niu

Age: 21

Occupation: Unknown

Record: Theft, served one year and six months

Brother Lu looked at the door handle. Someone took out a laser light to check, and there was a clearly visible fingerprint on it.

Brother Lu nodded and said: "It seems this person is one of them. Report it up. We can go back first."

"Yes!"

...

Ye Chen and the others were currently in a residential building, a few of them lying lazily on the sofa in the living room.

The phone rang suddenly. Ye Chen said hello, and Tang Qiu's voice came through: "Ye Chen, where are you guys?"

Tang Qiu's voice sounded very anxious.

"We're outside. What's wrong?"

"Did you kill Hou Qinghua?"

Ye Chen said "Hmm": "How did you know?"

"How could I not know! The Law Enforcement Alliance group chat is blowing up right now. The investigation department just released a notice: Hou Qinghua is dead, and Tie Niu is among the killers! Ye Chen, do you know how serious it is to kill a squad!"

"What's more, the Hou Qinghua squad is in the top 100 of the Law Enforcement Alliance, and he is also Elder Wang's favorite Disciple. You guys are in big trouble, do you know that!"

Tang Qiu was emotional, even a bit exasperated.

Regarding Tang Qiu's words, Ye Chen didn't take it to heart at all and laughed: "Do you know where we killed him?"

"Where?"

Tang Qiu was a bit confused, not knowing why Ye Chen suddenly said that.

"Right at the place with the LV14 Elite Monster. We had just hunted the monster when he appeared."

Tang Qiu was stunned for a moment, stuttering: "You mean?"

Ye Chen laughed: "That's right. The intel you got was intentionally given to you by Hou Qinghua. His goal was to kill us. We killed him out of necessity."

Tang Qiu was dumbfounded for a moment; she hadn't expected things to be like this.

After a long time, Tang Qiu apologized: "I'm sorry, I didn't know it would be like this."

Tang Qiu's tone was full of regret.

Ye Chen said: "It's fine. I don't mean to blame you. I'm just telling you that we were forced into this. The Law Enforcement Alliance will definitely investigate this matter. When they do, they will find out about the relationship between you and me. I'm afraid it will implicate you. Why don't you come with us?"

Tang Qiu smiled indifferently and said confidently: "In this Law Enforcement Alliance, no one dares to touch me. You guys, on the other hand, should be careful. The Law Enforcement Alliance will definitely come looking for you."

Ye Chen was slightly stunned. Tang Qiu's words were quite bold; it seems her background is not simple!

"Hmm, okay, don't worry. When I have time, I'll give you the Heart Core!"

"Okay, let's get in touch then. Stay safe."

After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen turned back, ready to tell everyone the news.

Just as he turned, Ye Chen felt his face get warm, and only then did he realize Lin Nuoyi's lips were pressed against his face.

When Ye Chen was on the phone, the others had gathered around, and this beautiful misunderstanding happened.

Ah, this!

Lin Nuoyi's face flushed slightly, and she stepped back.

Fortunately, everyone else's mind was on the conversation the two had just had, and they didn't see this scene.

Yu Nian was relatively calmer.

Zhu Qiang said anxiously: "Brother Chen, we've been targeted by the Law Enforcement Alliance. Why don't we leave the Seventh Area? It's too uncomfortable to be watched every day."

Tie Niu said self-reproachfully: "Big Brother Ye Chen, why don't I go turn myself in? Then, I'll take all the responsibility myself."

Ye Chen looked at Tie Niu helplessly; Tie Niu's brain still couldn't wrap around it.

"You're a LV5. If you say you killed the LV8 Hou Qinghua squad, will anyone believe you?"

Tie Niu went silent.

It seemed that really was the case.

Even he didn't believe it.

Yu Nian spoke up: "Since this matter has already happened, we should face it calmly. Think of it on the bright side; this is also a form of training."

Ye Chen agreed with Yu Nian's statement and laughed: "Don't take it too much to heart. We won't leave the Seventh Area. Tie Niu, you don't need to turn yourself in either. This is a matter for our whole squad. Our whole squad will face everything together!"

Ye Chen's words were like an adrenaline shot. Zhu Qiang immediately gained confidence: "Right! The Azure Alliance people wanted to kill us, they died. That group wanted to set up Yu Nian, they also died. Hou Qinghua wanted to kill us, he also died! From now on, whoever wants to deal with us will die!"

"Don't worry, it's already agreed with Tang Qiu. If the Law Enforcement Alliance makes any moves, she will inform us in advance."

This sentence gave the others peace of mind, and everyone felt much more relaxed.

After chatting for a while, they prepared to rest.

The next day.

Morning.

Everyone had already left the residential building.

Walking on the street, many Pet Masters had already started hunting monsters.

While walking, Lin Nuoyi checked the Monster Chat Room. These past two days, the Monster Chat Room didn't have any useful news, but Lin Nuoyi did make an interesting discovery.

"Ye Chen, someone in the Monster Chat Room has started trading. Someone posted information about Materials, and those who need them will spend gold coins to buy them."

Ye Chen looked up and laughed: "That's not bad. Let's organize the things we don't need, put them up, and see if anyone inquires."

Lin Nuoyi said "Hmm" and began to sort through the useless loot.
