Chapter 915: [694] Okay, understood, know nothing when asked (Thanks to Yi Yuchen for the 6K reward support) Chapter 915: [694] Okay, understood, know nothing when asked (Thanks to Yi Yuchen for the 6K reward support) “In the ten minutes, both the Investigation Team and the Judgement Place were misled, their attention diverted… Although I don’t know who it was, the courage to commit murder right under our noses is truly substantial.”
“From what you’re saying, do you have a suspect in mind?” Murong Lingyang looked over.
Murong Jing smiled, “We had just investigated the connection between the Old Gods Association and the Sea Ghost, and right after, the Sea Ghost’s people were silenced. Too coincidental…”
“It is indeed coincidental.” Murong Lingyang paused for a while before saying, “I received a tip-off that explosions occurred tonight at several places in the Eastern Continent. That’s also quite coincidental.”
Murong Jing seemed unsurprised, as if he had known already.
“Only an organization like the Old Gods Association could pull off such a feat.”
Murong Lingyang agreed with this statement.
It was then that Murong Jing took a phone call.
“Two pieces of news. First, the Investigation Team has suspended a group of people. Are you looking into it, or shall we?”
“I’m fine either way,” Murong Lingyang replied.
“Then you do it, this is your territory,” Murong Jing said with a smile.
“And the second piece of news?” Murong Lingyang asked again.
Murong Jing’s mouth curved slightly, “It’s said that Liu Chihu let go of a youngster. You might have heard of him–Pei Jinye, also a friend of the little sister.”
Murong Lingyang immediately looked up.
…
“Surprising, right? Me too, but I’ve met the kid; he has a clean background.”
“Do you think he’s a problem?”
“You might not know, but he’s someone personally vetted by Star Ring.”
Murong Lingyang’s eyes widened in surprise, “There’s more to this?”
Murong Jing smiled, “It’s just that this kid has turned us down several times.”
Murong Lingyang suddenly realized he knew very little about Pei Jinye.
“If he’s not a problem, why bother checking up on him?”
“It’s not really checking up, more like having a chat… Tall trees catch much wind.”
…
In the hospital.
Pei Jinye was still reflecting on the memories in his mind.
There indeed were collaborators within the Old Gods Association with the Sea Ghost Legion.
But even Lin Xiongqi didn’t know the true identity of the other party; they merely traded in information.
When he received contact information, Pei Jinye tried to secretly connect, but sadly the other party had already abandoned that channel.
Fled?
So cautious…
Even Lin Xiongqi himself guessed that his exposure under the Federation’s purview led the Old Gods Association to abandon them.
These days, Lin Xiongqi had been secretly contacting people from the Federation, attempting to save himself with some information.
But unfortunately…
Man’s calculations are no match for heaven’s.
[Xing Tian?]
[I’m here.]
[I’ve packed some intelligence data; you’re responsible for verifying its authenticity.]
[Okay.]
Pei Jinye quietly transferred all the money from Lin Xiongqi’s bank accounts, using up quite a bit recently but still leaving over seven billion in funds.
This money was now “dirty money,” and Pei Jinye needed to use some techniques to launder it.
Coincidentally.
Elder Wuji suddenly also started contacting him.
[There’s trouble in Dragon City, do you know about it?]
[I’ve heard. Was it arranged by you, Old An?]
Pei Jinye replied without batting an eye, even employing a tactic to turn the tables.
Catching Elder Wuji off guard.
[I did arrange it, but unfortunately I was a step too late.]
[So the Sea Ghost really has connections with us?] Pei Jinye probed.
Elder Wuji didn’t hide anything, [It’s Candle’s people; we are still investigating what transactions they conducted.]
Pei Jinye suddenly understood.
Following that, Elder Wuji divulged a piece of news that surprised Pei Jinye.
[I now suspect that Candle is still not dead.]
[Wasn’t he… killed earlier?]
[This guy is cunning, I will use all means to investigate the truth of this matter, be very careful.]
After ending the conversation, Pei Jinye lay in the hospital bed, lost in thought.
The Sea Ghost’s Lin Xiongqi was a connection through Candle, though it was unclear if Candle had a hand in this, the Sea Ghost were now utterly ruined.
Settling his mind, Pei Jinye began studying the new Extraordinary [Spirit*Luck].
“Burning Vitality can be exchanged for a fortune buff… essentially a luck buff. Lin Xiongqi and the others could escape because Lin Mumu burned his Vitality last night; otherwise, this kid wouldn’t have been so pale.”
Just then,
the phone vibrated.
…
Late at night, Feng Jiao messaged, [Little brother, is Dragon City always this dangerous at night? Sister is scared, can you come and keep me company?]
[…]
Feng Jiao still made a call.
It wasn’t an act; she was genuinely frightened.
“Isn’t Dragon City supposed to be the safest? It’s only my first day here, and this happens… too scary, and they’re all high-ranked… Why do I still hear a nurse’s voice, are you in the hospital?”
Pei Jinye hummed a response, calmly stating, “I participated in tonight’s inspection and came face-to-face with them.”
Feng Jiao was stupefied, “You even came face-to-face with them, are you alright?”
“I’m fine.”
He didn’t expressly say it.
Seeing he was in the hospital, Feng Jiao didn’t bother him further.
…
The next morning.

Before Pei Jinye was discharged, he gained 600 Attribute Points.
Out of an experiment,
he applied all 600 Attribute Points to his Vitality.
Six hundred points burned directly,
exchanged for a stroke of luck.
Just as he reached the school gate, he found some money.
“No way, no way, didn’t just burn 600 points of Vitality for 100 bucks, right?”
