“Have you heard? Another big shot died in Dawn City last night.”
“Whoa, for real?”
“Would I lie to you?”
In a corner of the restaurant, Gu Wutong craned his neck and whispered mysteriously, “Know who it was?”
“Who?” Zhou Ye was the most curious.
“The Deputy Commander of the Central Continental Army Group, Xu Ji,” Gu Wutong said as he glanced around, then lowered his voice.
“Whoa!” Zhou Ye indeed provided the desired reaction.
But Brother Bi also looked somewhat moved, “Isn’t this guy an Extraordinary Fifth Rank powerhouse? And he got taken out too?”
Gu Wutong nodded significantly, “You might not believe it if I told you, but a USB drive was left at the scene of the crime, containing 13TB of criminal evidence against the Xu family, damn, they don’t even spare the children!”
Zhou Ye was stunned, “The work of the Rebels?”
Gu Wutong shook his head, “Don’t know, the killer’s identity remains unclear at the moment, and no faction on the streets has come forward to claim it… And there are several peculiar things about this situation.”
“How did the perpetrator breach security?” Zhou Ye looked over uncertainly.
“That’s one of the doubts,” Gu Wutong nodded, then turned to Pei Jinye and Brother Bi beside him, “Xu Ji himself was an Extraordinary Fifth Rank, and yet, someone managed to kill him undetected and without alerting the security outside. It was either a gang operation, or the perpetrator’s strength is at least above the Seventh Rank.”
“Sheesh.”
Zhou Ye started making strange noises again.
But everyone was already used to it.
Gu Wutong held up a second finger, “And that USB drive, for someone to be so thorough is terrifying… The official guess now is that whoever targeted the Xu family has been planning this for more than a day or two.”
“Makes sense.”
Hearing Zhou Ye speak up, Pei Jinye looked over at him, and Zhou Ye also looked back.
Pei Jinye gave a thumbs-up, “I think what you’re saying makes a lot of sense.”
Zhou Ye grinned and added a few words, “If someone could be so detailed, you could guess with your toes that they must be very familiar with Xu Ji. I suggest the officials start with people who are close to Commander Xu; maybe they’ll really find something.”
“Shut it,” Brother Bi said irritably, “Or why don’t you investigate? I reckon even Judgement Place might get involved this time with a Fifth Rank matter.”
“Probably so, a Deputy Commander getting taken out without anyone noticing, that’s just too damn horrifying. As far as I know, lots of bigwigs have more than tripled their security since this happened, and I heard some families have already issued recruitment calls.”
“What’s a recruitment call?” Brother Bi suddenly wondered.
“It’s like a gaming term, basically paying people for protection,” Zhou Ye explained.
“Hiring from outside? Aren’t the folks trained by the Federation strong enough?” Brother Bi asked, puzzled.
“You can’t say that. Take Xu Ji, for example, could he ask for protection from an Extraordinary Sixth Rank or Seventh Rank powerhouse? They’re his superiors. But it’s different when you recruit from outside. Wanderers in the martial world don’t have any guarantees, so they’re more willing to comply.”
Brother Bi paused and shook his head, indicating the topic was too high-end for him.
Meanwhile, Zhou Ye was enthusiastically engaged in the conversation.
Gu Wutong spoke as if he were experiencing it firsthand.
Zhou Ye occasionally interjected with exclamations.
Brother Bi and Pei Jinye were already accustomed to this, and the two exchanged glances. Brother Bi pushed the soup dumplings towards Pei Jinye, “Let’s eat.”
“I’m going to grab some chili sauce.” Just as Pei Jinye stood up, Gu Wutong grabbed his arm and pulled him back, looking puzzled.
“Love me, don’t go.”
“Get lost.”
He shook off the hand and left.
By the time Pei Jinye returned with the chili sauce, Gu Wutong had already been called away by people from the team.
Zhou Ye had moved next to Brother Bi, still rambling on, while Brother Bi clenched his fists, looking like he was desperately holding back his anger.
Until Pei Jinye appeared.

Brother Bi gestured for him and they started eating the soup dumplings. Before Zhou Ye could say anything, Brother Bi stuffed a dumpling into Zhou Ye’s mouth.
Zhou Ye nearly choked to death, pointing at Brother Bi, nearly calling him a traitor.
Pei Jinye couldn’t help but pat him on the back with a suppressed laugh.
Zhou Ye looked gratefully at him.
After catching his breath, he said, “What Gu said earlier was good, these days you never know what’s going to happen next, seize the moment to enjoy life… Why aren’t you guys listening to me? Ah, chaotically!”
…
Pei Jinye had requested leave, so after he had completed the leave formalities, he left the base.
It was Brother Bi and Zhou Ye who saw him off, and Pei Jinye treated them at his family’s hotpot restaurant.
Zhou Ye was curious about why Pei Jinye suddenly took half a month off, but Brother Bi stepped on his foot.
“Eating doesn’t even keep your mouth shut.”
Pei Jinye smiled, “It’s nothing, I just got injured during training and needed to rest at home. Brother Bi and Zhou Ye don’t need to worry.”
“Health is really important.” Brother Bi remarked, “When I was young, I didn’t take good care of my body, which led to my current body being somewhat…”
“Weak.” Zhou Ye added.
“Thank you so much.” Brother Bi said, annoyed.
Zhou Ye watched Pei Jinye tease them with a wink and a smile.
After Brother Bi and Zhou Ye left.
Pei Jinye received a message from Little Red Luo, and not long after, he showed up at the safe house.
“What happened?”
“Sister Silver Art is missing,” Little Red Luo said hurriedly.
Pei Jinye’s eyebrows raised slightly, “When did this happen?”
“This morning. I came to the safe house to get some stuff, and then when I tried to contact Sister Silver Art, I couldn’t reach her. When I came back, I found she was missing, and there was untouched instant noodles on the table, with the water still warm.”
Little Red Luo recounted the situation in detail.
“Don’t panic.”
Pei Jinye cast a fortune-telling spell.
It wasn’t an ominous sign.
After mulling over it for a moment, he personally contacted Elder Wuji.
“Do you know where Silver Art is?”
“Didn’t she tell you? She’s at headquarters now.”
“…”
Pei Jinye paused, “Is there a mission at headquarters? So sudden?”
“The situation in Central State is much more complicated than before. With her current abilities, she can’t keep up with your next actions. I’ll be mentoring her for some time, and then I’ll send her back.”
Having gotten the response from Elder Wuji, Pei Jinye then informed Little Red Luo.
Little Red Luo learned that Silver Art had returned to headquarters and felt both pity for her and a bit envious, “Wuwuwu, turns out nobody cares about me.”
“…”
Pei Jinye looked at her, “Do you still have enough instant noodles at home?”
“I’m tired of them, I really like Black Swan recently.”
“?”
“It’s a kind of cake.”
“Eating too much of it could make you gain weight.”
“I won’t.”
“…As long as you’re happy.”
After returning to the Jiang family, Pei Jinye spent the following period focusing on his training.
In the blink of an eye.
Two days later.
