Chapter 78: Chapter 78: Discovered

Everyone widened their eyes, feeling somewhat incredulous.

Iron Bull had such a past?

Iron Bull said weakly, “Um…a good friend of mine was sick and had no money for treatment, so I stole medicine from the pharmacy.”

Ye Chen was speechless at once. Stealing from a pharmacy, which has surveillance cameras, you’d be better off just snatching some cash from the street!

Meanwhile.

In the university dormitory where Ye Chen and the others had just been, a group of people in black combat suits slowly approached.

The person in the lead checked his watch, lifting his eyes to look at the room where Ye Chen and the others had been.

The leader waved his hand, and the group quickly advanced to the room.

The group tiptoed to the door, tightly pressed against the wall.

One person reached the door, kicked it open with his foot, and pointed his firearm inside.

“Don’t move!”

The group pointed their guns simultaneously at the inside of the room.

“Brother Lu, no one’s here!”

The leader put down his firearm and entered the room, while one person quickly picked up a watch and brought it to Brother Lu.

“Brother Lu, look!”

Brother Lu took the watch, sighed slightly, and said, “Report to headquarters, Hou Qinghua, the captain of the Fire Ape Squad, and his team members have been murdered!”

The group was instantly stunned on the spot, incredulously saying, “Brother Lu, the Fire Ape Squad has been killed?”

Brother Lu nodded and said, “Check all traces in the room to see if we can find any information about the murderer. This group is quite smart to know that this watch has a tracking system.”

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

The round-headed device is called an Information Detection Lamp.

The Information Detection Lamp emitted a blue light that shone throughout the room.

Wherever the light touched, all DNA information was clear and visible.

Information appeared everywhere the light shone.

Name: Liang Shangqi

Age: 19

Occupation: Student

…

One piece of information after another appeared, but unfortunately, it was all from the students who previously lived there.

Brother Lu frowned deeply.

Just then, someone shouted, “Brother Lu, there’s a piece of information on the door handle; it should be from one of them.”

Brother Lu hurriedly went over to check.

Name: Iron Bull

Age: 21

Occupation: Unknown

Record: Theft, served one year and six months

Brother Lu looked at the door handle, and someone took out a laser lamp to check, revealing a clearly visible fingerprint.

Brother Lu nodded and said, “It seems that this person is one of them. Report it, we can head back for now.”

“Yes!”

…

Ye Chen and the others were currently in a residential building, lounging on the living room sofa.

The phone suddenly rang, and Ye Chen answered with a “hello,” hearing Tang Qiu’s voice, “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 muttered an “um,” “How do you know?”

“How do I know! The Law Enforcement Alliance group is in an uproar, and the Investigation Department just announced that Hou Qinghua is dead, and Iron Bull is among the culprits! Ye Chen, do you know how serious it is to kill a squad?”

“Moreover, Hou Qinghua’s squad was among the top hundred of the Law Enforcement Alliance, and he was Elder Wang’s favorite disciple. You’re in big trouble, you know that!”

Tang Qiu was emotional, even a bit exasperated.

Ye Chen, however, didn’t care about Tang Qiu’s words and laughed, “Do you know where we killed him?”

“Where?”

Tang Qiu was puzzled, not understanding why Ye Chen suddenly asked that.

“At the place with LV14 elite monsters. After we hunted the monster, he showed up.”

Tang Qiu was stunned for a moment and stammered, “You mean to say?”

Ye Chen laughed, “That’s right, the information you had was deliberately given by Hou Qinghua himself, and his purpose was to kill us. We had no choice but to kill him.”

Tang Qiu was dumbfounded. She hadn’t expected things to be like this.

After a long while, Tang Qiu apologized, “Sorry, I didn’t know it would be like this.”

Tang Qiu’s tone carried some regret.

Ye Chen said, “It’s okay, I’m not blaming you. I’m just telling you; we were forced to do this. The Law Enforcement Alliance will definitely investigate it, and they’ll find out about the relationship between you and me. I’m afraid it’ll drag you down. How about you join us?”

Tang Qiu laughed indifferently and confidently said, “In this Law Enforcement Alliance, no one dares to touch me. But you guys, be careful. The Law Enforcement Alliance will definitely cause trouble for you.”

Ye Chen was slightly stunned at how audacious Tang Qiu’s words were. It seemed her background wasn’t simple!

“Okay, don’t worry, when I have time, I’ll give you the Heart Core!”

“Alright, get in touch then, and stay safe.”

After hanging up the phone, Ye Chen turned to pass the news to the others.

Just as he turned, Ye Chen felt a warmth on his cheek, realizing that Lin Nuoyi’s mouth was pressed against his face.

While Ye Chen was on the phone, everyone had crowded around, leading to this beautiful misunderstanding.

Uh-oh!

Lin Nuoyi blushed slightly, taking a step back.

Luckily, everyone else’s attention was on the conversation, and they didn’t see this scene.

Yu Nian was somewhat calm.

Zhu Qiang anxiously said, “Brother Chen, we’re still being targeted by the Law Enforcement Alliance. How about we leave the Seventh Region? It’s too uncomfortable being watched all the time.”

Iron Bull said self-reproachfully, “Big brother Ye Chen, let me turn myself in then, I’ll take all the responsibility.”

Ye Chen gave Iron Bull a helpless look; he still couldn’t wrap his head around it.

“You’re an LV5 and claim you killed LV8 Hou Qinghua’s squad, do you think anyone would believe that?”

Iron Bull fell silent.

It seemed to be the case indeed.

Even he didn’t believe it.

Yu Nian spoke, “Since this has happened, let’s face it calmly. If you look at it positively, it’s also a kind of training.”

Ye Chen agreed with Yu Nian’s words and smiled, “Don’t take it too much to heart. We won’t leave the Seventh Region, and Iron Bull, there’s no need to turn yourself in. This is our squad’s matter, and our squad faces everything together!”

Ye Chen’s words were like a shot of adrenaline, filling Zhu Qiang with confidence, “Right! The Cyan Alliance wanted to kill us, and they died; those people wanted to harm Yu Nian and died too; Hou Qinghua wanted to kill us and died! From now on, whoever tries to deal with us will die!”

“Don’t worry, we’ve arranged with Tang Qiu that any actions from the Law Enforcement Alliance will be relayed to us in advance.”

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

After a brief chat, the group prepared to rest.

The next day.

In the morning.

The group had already left the residential building.

Walking down the street, quite a few Pet Tamers had started hunting monsters.

Lin Nuoyi checked the Monster Chat Room while on the move; these past two days, nothing useful had appeared in the Monster Chat Room, but Lin Nuoyi did find something interesting.

“Ye Chen, people in the Monster Chat Room have started trading. Someone’s posting materials and those who need them purchase with Gold Coins.”

Ye Chen looked up and laughed, “That’s not bad. Gather our useless stuff and post it to see if anyone’s interested.”

Lin Nuoyi nodded, beginning to sort their useless spoils.
