Chapter 89 Taking it Home

Wen Shanghai arrived at the Mysterious Unit office and knocked on the door.

Knock, knock, knock!

"Is Team Leader Su in?"

There was no response from inside, and Wen Shanghai looked slightly puzzled.

He gently pushed the door and found it wasn't locked.

However, when he pushed it open and stepped inside, a sudden gust of chilling wind blew, forcing him to keep his eyes closed.

Once the chilling wind subsided, he saw Su Ling standing silently with her back to him, her long hair cascading down to her waist, not moving an inch.

Wen Shanghai swallowed hard, trying to calm his nervous mood.

Every time he entered this place, he felt a sense of dread; if it weren't absolutely necessary, he really wouldn't want to come here.

"Hehehe, someone's here." A faint, eerie laughter suddenly echoed in the air.

Wen Shanghai's body shuddered again, his heart racing in his throat.

If it hadn't been for the higher-ups explicitly appointing Su Ling as the Mysterious Unit leader, he would have suspected whether she was human or a ghost.

"Team Leader Su!" Wen Shanghai called out tremulously.

There was no response for a long while. Wen Shanghai intended to take a step forward, but just then, the motionless Su Ling suddenly turned around.

With a pale face and a pair of eyes glowing with an eerie red light, she stared fixedly at Wen Shanghai, sending a chill down his spine and causing him to stumble back a few steps.

"What is it?" Su Ling asked quietly, her expression returning to normal.

Wen Shanghai let out a long sigh and patted his chest.

She had really scared him to death just now. As a man in his fifties with a weak heart, if he experienced such shocks a few more times, he feared he would drop dead on the spot.

"Team Leader Su, could you please not make things so scary every time?"

Wen Shanghai couldn't understand it; when Su Ling returned to normal, she clearly looked like a gentle and beautiful young girl, so how could she sometimes become so terrifying?

"Sorry, Bureau Chief Wen. Next time you come in, please knock first; if you don't barge in, you won't be scared."

"I did knock just now, but you didn't respond. I saw the door wasn't closed, so I came in." Wen Shanghai felt a bit aggrieved.

To think that he, a dignified bureau chief, had to get someone else's permission to enter his own territory.

"Oh! Then, Bureau Chief Wen, what did you come to see me for?" Su Ling asked again.

"It's like this: Mystery Bureau headquarters called and asked you to call them back immediately. They said they couldn't get through to your phone."

Su Ling hurried to the drawer, took out her phone, and found it was out of power.

She plugged in the charger, and after turning it on, she indeed found several missed calls.

"Alright, I understand." Su Ling replied to Wen Shanghai.

"Okay, remember to call them back! I'll be leaving now." After saying this, Wen Shanghai walked away quickly; staying in there always gave him a chilling sensation.

After Wen Shanghai left, Su Ling dialed that number.

"Hello! Is this Su Ling? This is Director Xia Weiguo. Why can't I get through to your phone? Do you know that as a member of our organization, you must ensure you can be contacted at any time? If we can't find you like this, what would happen if an emergency occurred and things were delayed?"

"I understand, Director. Is there something urgent you need me for?" Su Ling said calmly.

"You really are going to be the death of me. We have discovered the tracks of the Big White Snake."

"Really? Where is Little White?" Su Ling became excited immediately and asked loudly.

"Don't get excited yet. It's currently not confirmed whether it's the Little White you mentioned. I'm contacting you because I want you to go and verify it yourself."

"Alright, I'll go. I want to bring it home." Su Ling agreed without a second thought.

On the other end, Director Xia Weiguo, who had been planning how to persuade Su Ling, looked stunned and shook his head helplessly. He then carefully informed Su Ling of the planned arrangements.

Su Ling hung up the phone, a smile appearing on the corner of her lips.

"Little White, I've finally found you. I'm coming over right now to bring you home!"

Back then, when Su Ling learned that the Big White Snake had killed her family, she was so grief-stricken that she awakened the Houtu Domain, and then she fell into a coma.

When she woke up, it was already the afternoon of the next day. By then, she learned that the Big White Snake had already fled Su City and entered the ocean, disappearing without a trace.

She had never wanted to believe that Little White was the killer. After awakening the Houtu Domain, she had already learned the truth from Uncle Zhao and Auntie Zhang.

It wasn't Little White who killed them, but another giant snake—a giant snake with eight heads.

Su Ling did not share this discovery with anyone else because she had also discovered other secrets.

That was that the souls of everyone were in her Houtu Domain, except for her grandfather's soul.

And why did the Eight-Headed Snake Monster appear at the Su Family?

Why was Little White made the scapegoat, and why didn't the police station carefully investigate the truth at the time?

There were many suspicious points that made Su Ling unwilling to trust anyone anymore.

Therefore, no one knew about her Houtu Domain except for her.

Even Director Xia Weiguo didn't know; the awakened abilities she displayed were transformation and summoning.

After transforming, her physical strength far exceeded that of a Snake-Skin Warrior, and her speed was extremely fast, allowing her to dodge bullets.

She could also summon a white snake to fight, but the summoned white snake was not a real snake; it was manifested from a snake skin, could not last long, and could only be maintained for half an hour.

Su Ling left the Mysterious Unit office. This time, she did not hide herself anymore; her face was revealed for the first time to others in the police station besides Bureau Chief Wen.

Everyone watched Su Ling's departing figure with surprise.

"Wow! Was that the woman from the Mysterious Unit just now? I didn't expect her to be so pretty and so young."

"Yeah! She looks like she's only around twenty! Has she even graduated from college?"

"Mysterious people cannot be measured by common sense."

— Su City Police Station.

There was also a Mysterious Unit department here, but compared to the Mysterious Unit in Hai City, the Mysterious Unit here was exceptionally high-profile.

No one in the police station didn't know the Mysterious Unit leader, Bureau Chief Lu Ye, and even the police chief, Li Anbang, treated him with great respect.

It was as if the police chief wasn't Li Anbang, but Bureau Chief Lu Ye.

Ever since the wealthiest family in Su City, the Su Family, was wiped out, the Lu Family had rapidly risen to power and become the new wealthiest family in Su City.

Bureau Chief Lu Ye was not only the Mysterious Unit leader but also the heir to the wealthiest family; his influence was unparalleled at the time.

In Su City, he, Bureau Chief Lu Ye, was the sky of Su City.

Inside the police chief's office, Bureau Chief Lu Ye sat in the main seat, and Li Anbang respectfully poured tea for Bureau Chief Lu Ye on the side.

"Young Master Lu, please have some tea."

"How is the matter I told you to handle going?" Bureau Chief Lu Ye picked up the teacup and said calmly.

"The forces supporting the Su Family have basically all been eradicated. I have arrested them all on charges of illegal activities. But, Young Master Lu, I wonder when I can become an Awakened One?"

"Don't worry, it will be soon. As long as you work well for me, I naturally won't treat you unfairly when the time comes. Only when that day arrives will you have a chance to survive and master the power of gods like me."

As Bureau Chief Lu Ye spoke, a burst of cold energy erupted from his hand, instantly freezing the teacup until it shattered into pieces.

Li Anbang looked at the scene in front of him in shock and couldn't help but swallow hard.
