After being anxious all night, Li Nanke didn't dare to look up at Ye Yaoyao during breakfast the next day.
After a few mouthfuls of rice porridge in the bowl, the man fled the house as if running away, not even waiting for Meng Xiaotu. The little girl who was still slowly eating pastries was a little confused, so she could only catch up with two big steamed buns.
Luo Qianqiu looked at Yu Hongye with doubtful eyes, "What's wrong with my husband?"
Yu Hongye suppressed a smile in her heart, but said calmly: "He is not my husband. How would I know? Maybe the Night Patrol Department has something urgent. You are right, Yaoyao."
The woman turned her head and said with a smile to the cool fairy who was silently drinking soy milk.
Ye Yaoyao held the spoon elegantly and sipped it gently. The tip of her tongue touched the delicate and mellow soy milk, causing light ripples to appear, feeling peaceful and happy.
Luo Qianqiu frowned slightly, her clear eyes flashed, and she said no more.
…………
When he arrived at the Night Patrol Department, Li Nanke was called over by two senior officials from the capital.
In the small room where Niu Daru worked, Deputy Director General Jing Benhai, who came from the Night Patrol Department in the capital, looked through some information left by Niu Daru during his lifetime.
The desktop that Niu Daru usually tidied up was now in a mess and filled with various documents. Some documents were stacked randomly, and some were dog-eared and looked like they had been sorted hastily.
"General Secretary Jing."
Li Nanke entered the house and saluted with his hands in hand.
Jing Benhai looked down at the official documents in his hand, as if he didn't notice the other party's presence at all.
There was an insurmountable sense of distance in the air.
Li Nanke had no choice but to stand.
He didn't have a very good impression of this guy. After all, he rejected his suggestions when he first arrived, and even lost his position as acting deputy inspector of the Blue Dragon Department.
Although Li Nanke didn't care, he was still unhappy anyway.
After a while, another person came into the room. It was Lan Minsheng, the inspector of the White Tiger Department of the Capital Night Patrol Department.
Compared to Jing Benhai, who was stern and indifferent, Lan Minsheng was much more approachable.
"Here he comes."
Seeing Li Nanke, Lan Minsheng showed a gentle smile on his face. He even poured a cup of tea himself and motioned for Li Nanke to sit down.
Li Nanke thanked him but did not sit down.
Lan Minsheng didn't care. He looked around the room and sighed: "Director Niu has worked hard for the Night Patrol Division all his life and has not even left any heirs. We owe him a lot."
Li Nanke wanted to ask a few questions about Niu Daru's death, but hesitated and chose to remain silent.
"What do you think about the underworld?"
Lan Minsheng changed the topic and looked at Li Nanke with burning eyes.
Li Nanke glanced at Jing Benhai and said: "I don't know what to say, but they will make the last transaction soon, and the underworld will no longer exist. We don't need to have a headache over this."
"You kid still can't help but mock us." Lan Minsheng saw the anger in Li Nanke's heart and said with a smile.
There were all smart people present, so they naturally understood the current situation.
Lan Minsheng sighed: "When one underworld disappears, many underworlds will appear."
Li Nanke's heart moved.
He understood the worry in the other person's words.
Although the largest "Red Rain" force disappeared, the huge quantities of goods were dispersed to various forces.
It is equivalent to creating multiple small "underworlds" out of thin air.
Perhaps this is the real purpose of the forces behind the scenes.
Instead of fighting against the court alone, it is better to recruit more partners to fight together.
No one will ignore the super profits brought by "Red Rain".
When the profit reaches 50%, they will take risks; when the profit reaches 100%, they dare to trample all laws in the world.
"Isn't the biggest underworld the Night Watch Division?"
In the end, Li Nanke finally said what he had been thinking for a long time, with a bit of ridicule and self-deprecation.
Jing Benhai, who had been silent, suddenly raised his head, his eyes as sharp as an eagle, shooting a sharp light through his deep pupils, staring at Li Nanke.
Lan Minsheng was also stunned for a moment, and then he laughed dumbly, "It seems right to say so."
"What do you think the Night Watch Division should do?"
Jing Benhai suddenly spoke.
This is a very general question, but Li Nanke knows what the answer the other party wants to hear.
But the problem is that even if Li Nanke has suggestions, he can't say them openly, so he can only shake his head, "I don't know where the night patrol department is going, but I believe the court will make proper arrangements."
Jing Benhai twitched the corner of his mouth, then lowered his head to organize the documents.
Lan Minsheng sat on the chair and said with a wry smile: "If you dare not say it, it is difficult to act. When we were in the capital, we all laughed at Leng Siyuan, but sometimes I think about it, no one can do better than him.
Li Nanke, we all know your situation, and we also know that you are a rare talent, a piece of gold.
But sometimes when gold shines too early, it will be robbed, stolen, and become gold in the hands of others. Do you understand what I mean? "
Li Nanke said in a deep voice: "Please rest assured, you two adults, I will only do my job well and will not get involved with the underworld or any Hongyu forces!"
Hearing this, Lan Minsheng smiled even happier and said to Jing Benhai: "You see, talking to smart people saves trouble and effort. If your nephew had half the brains of this kid, he would have taken the lead long ago."
Jing Benhai had no expression on his face, looked up at Li Nanke and asked, "There is a ghost from the underworld in the Yuncheng Night Patrol Department. Who do you think it is?"
"have no idea."
"Are you sure you can catch him?"
"No."
Li Nanke answered simply.
Lan Minsheng put his hand on his forehead, suppressed his smile and said:
"Old Jing, you are a bad person in his mind now, so don't ask. Let him deal with it by himself. I believe this kid will definitely have a plan."
"It's best not to get yourself involved."
Jing Benhai snorted coldly and ignored it.
Lan Minsheng threw a token to Li Nanke, "You take the identity token of the deputy director general of the Yuncheng Night Patrol Department first, and do whatever you want. We came to you today, not to stop you. We just gave it to you. A reminder to do everything in moderation.”
Li Nanke looked deeply at Lan Minsheng and said, "I understand the humble position."
"Do you really know where this 'degree' is?" Lan Minsheng asked again, perhaps out of worry.
Li Nanke said: "I will not let Director Niu's sacrifice be in vain."
…………
In the afternoon, the sky gradually darkened and dark clouds gathered.
Li Nanke first went to the Qinglong Club, found a few trustworthy members, and assigned tasks to them.
These Qinglong Department personnel were the list left by Shangguan Guan to Li Nanke before leaving, saying that they could be trusted absolutely.
Although Li Nanke was a little skeptical, there was really no one to turn to at the moment.
Towards evening, Li Nanke found Yu Shengtian.
"Everything has been arranged. I made an appointment with him. Let's go over and meet with him first to make a new plan for the underworld deal."
Li Nanke, who had specially changed into a smart outfit, had a cold voice.
Yu Shengtian also changed his clothes, frowned and asked: "Are you sure that the other party is not the bait thrown by Shi Yan? He deliberately set a trap for us?"
"Don't worry, I'm sure this person is the informant placed by Director Niu in Fengyunhui."
Li Nanke's tone was extremely certain.
Yu Shengtian nodded, "Okay, let's go."
In order to avoid being noticed, the two of them deliberately left quietly through the side door of the Night Patrol Department, found a light carriage and drove themselves towards the outside of the city.
"Why did you set the meeting place outside the city?"
Yu Shengtian asked curiously.
Li Nanke curled his lips and said, "Don't believe that the most dangerous place is the safest. There are many people in Fengyunhui in the city, so it is better to be safe than to take risks."
A rare smile appeared on Yu Shengtian's tense face, "That's right."
However, just as the carriage was about to leave the city gate, suddenly a lavender firework exploded in the sky not far away, which was extremely conspicuous under the dark sky.
"This is the Suzaku Department's request for help!"
Yu Shengtian's pupils contracted.
"What?" Li Nanke quickly opened the car curtain and looked out, the expression on his face suddenly changed, "What is going on? Is there another monster?"
"What should we do now?" Yu Shengtian frowned.
Li Nanke slammed the car and cursed in a low voice, "Nonsense, of course I will go to support Sister Leng and the others first. I don't want to see them-"
Just as he was talking, a signal firework shot up in the sky far away on the other side.
Li Nanke was stunned, turned to Shengtian and asked, "Is that a signal for help from your Xuanwu Department?"
Yu Shengtian was equally shocked.
Why did the members of the Xuanwu Department also encounter monsters?
"Fuck, there have been too many monsters these past two days."
Li Nanke cursed and took out a carrier pigeon and said to Shengtian, "You go support your people, and I'll help Sister Leng. As for the informant, let him go back first and reschedule the time."
As Li Nanke spoke, he took out a piece of paper, tore it off and wrote the situation in charcoal, then rolled it up and placed it on Fei Ge's lap.
"It seems that's all it can do."
Yu Shengtian said helplessly.
Wow!
The dove flaps its wings and flies into the sky.
Looking at the pigeons being released, Yu Shengtian's eyes flashed slightly. But at some point, there was a dove feather in the palm of his hand.
This feather fell from the pigeon just now.
"Let's do this. You drive the carriage and help Leng Xinnan, Little Rabbit and the others. My cultivation level is higher than yours and my Qinggong is good, so I'll run over directly."
Yu Shengtian suddenly suggested.
"Can you do it?" Li Nanke expressed doubts.
"Stop dawdling, go quickly!"
Yu Shengtian slapped the other party on the shoulder, jumped off the carriage, ran towards the direction where the Xuanwu Department sent the signal for help, and soon disappeared.
Upon seeing this, Li Nanke drove the carriage in the direction of the Suzaku Department asking for help.
But not long after the carriage left, Yu Shengtian turned back.
He stared at the direction the carriage was leaving, took out the feather he had secretly hidden just now, put the folded talisman on it, and then pinched it gently with both hands.
The feather instantly turned into a ball of black ash, and then floated outside the city.
Yu Shengtian saw this and followed him.
…………
The flying pigeon with the letter finally landed on Phoenix Mountain.
And in that familiar dilapidated Taoist temple.
At this time, the sky was getting darker and darker, and the thick clouds were like a black cloth covering the entire valley, looking extremely depressed and cold.
In the Taoist temple, a slender man in black clothes was hiding quietly in the shadow of the corner, like a poisonous snake in the dark, with only a pair of sharp eyes exposed.
Seeing the flying pigeon landing in front of the door, the man in black opened the letter on the pigeon's leg and took a look at it, then tore the note into pieces and swept out of the Taoist temple.
And just when the man in black reached the foot of the mountain, he suddenly stopped.
"come out!"
The man in black shouted in a low voice. Even though he was deliberately suppressing it, he could still tell that it was a woman's voice.
There was silence and no one responded.
Uh-huh!
The man in black kicked a stone away under his feet, and it shot into the distance like a sharp arrow, making an ear-piercing scream.
At this moment, Yu Shengtian, who was hiding in the dark, noticed the flying stones and had no choice but to dodge, completely exposing his body to the man in black.
Originally, he wanted to observe in secret and make a decision after seeing the other person's appearance clearly, but he didn't expect the other person to be so alert.
But the next second, Heiyi's words shocked him even more.
"I recognize you, you are the inspector of the Xuanwu Department of the Night Patrol Department, Yu Shengtian!"
The man in black spoke coldly.
Yu Shengtian subconsciously held the handle of the knife.
If it was just a tentative investigation just now, now we can only kill the opponent.
However, Yu Shengtian changed his mind and said calmly: "You must be the informant placed by Director Niu next to Shi Yan. Li Nanke has already told me, so he came to find you."
"No, I just received the news that the meeting was cancelled."
The man in black's eyes did not conceal his sarcasm, "And you came all the way to see me for only one reason - you want to know my identity so that you can tip off the master behind you!"
"I do not understand what you are saying?"
Yu Shengtian looked calm, "If you don't believe it, ask Li Nanke, he and I are on the same team."
"Are you really in the same group with him?"
Unexpectedly, the man in black looked behind Yu Shengtian, and his originally deep voice became clear and sweet.
The expression on Yu Shengtian's face froze.
Suddenly, he felt cold all over, as if he was in an extremely cold world.
The gloomy woods around him seemed to be swaying with his heart. The dense leaves covered the sky, making the moonlight that finally shined through the gaps in the clouds dim and weak.
There is no glimmer of light, no glimmer of hope.
Yu Shengtian clearly felt that there were eyes watching him from behind.
Moreover, there are more than one person's eyes.
This feeling made him feel fear and despair, as if he had fallen into endless darkness and a swamp, unable to escape.
The man in black took off his hood.
A beautiful and charming face was revealed.
It's He Panjun!
She looked at Li Nanke, with a charming smile on her lips, "I've already helped you, and then it's up to you."
"Thanks."
Li Nanke smiled slightly.
Beside him, there were Leng Xinnan and others.
Li Nanke turned his eyes to Yu Shengtian Dugu's figure, his expression was indescribably complicated.
"Actually, from the beginning, I didn't want to believe that you were a ghost in the underworld. I even doubted Mr. Niu more than you did.
Because of the behavior you have shown, it is difficult for people to believe that you are a bad person with selfish motives.
But after Mr. Niu's death, I can only place my suspicion on you.
In fact, I don't understand why the last transaction was obviously a fake transaction, but you still took the risk to pass information to the underworld. Doing so does nothing good except reveal your identity.
Can you tell me why? This is something I've never figured out. "
Listening to Li Nanke's inquiry, Yu Shengtian originally made countless excuses to defend himself, but in the end he wasted no time and said bitterly: "You ask me? I don't know either."
He turned around and looked at Li Nanke, Leng Xinnan and Jiang Min, his former subordinate in the Xuanwu Department, and felt a stab of pain in his heart.
His eyes were a little moist, but no tears fell.
Maybe a bad guy like him shouldn't repent at such a desperate moment.
"There is only one reason, you were abandoned by the underworld."
Li Nanke answered this cruel truth for the other party.
