My life has the gift of growth.

Chapter 165 Return and New Cards
"Bai Yu, what is your relationship with Zhao Lingyu?"

"More than friends but less than lovers."

"Did you find anything unusual during your time with her? For example, did she have any private contact with Zhao Linglong, Lin Jiao, or other martial artists?"

"not found."

"What do you think of Zhao Lingyu's sudden disappearance? Many people say that Zhao Lingyu fled because she was afraid of being convicted."

"Zhao Lingyu did not violate any federal laws."

"What is your relationship with Lin Jiao?"

"Teacher and student."

"Where's Zhao Linglong?"

"Passers-by."

"Do you have anything to say about these two? Anything."

“Please ask the federal government to deal with them according to the law as soon as possible.”

……

During the two weeks, the same topic was repeated over and over again, four groups of people were replaced, and Bai Yu was tested countless times in different ways, and he gave the same answer every time.

This was the last questioning of him and also the longest one.

There was a slight "click" sound.
Halfway through the questioning, the two Wushu Administration Criminal Investigation Division personnel, a man and a woman, who were sitting opposite Bai Yu on the sofa, suddenly turned off the video on one side.

The older middle-aged man took out a lighter from his pocket and lit a cigarette. He then crossed his legs instead of sitting upright.
"Bai Yu, let me be honest with you. We have found the escape route of Zhao Lingyu in the basement of the hospital. All signs indicate that Zhao Lingyu and Lin Jiao left voluntarily. As long as you express your attitude on this matter, it will be easy for everyone.

Otherwise, even if the heir of Qinglong Group protects you, the result of the investigation will have a significant impact on your future. You will not be able to upgrade normally, participate in competitions, and even leave Tianhai City. Do you understand?"

The man casually pointed out the pros and cons, and the young and capable woman next to him followed suit and advised him kindly.

"You can also see the news about Bai Yu during this period. Whether for the Federation or for most ordinary people, this matter must be settled as soon as possible and return to normal.

We sincerely beg you to cooperate with us. Everything you say here will not be known to anyone except our direct superiors. You can trust us."

Bai Yu looked at the man puffing out smoke and the woman with a frown on her face. He tapped the coffee table in front of him and all the smoke returned to its source.

“I don’t hate cigarettes themselves, but I have always disliked smokers because some of them always smoke regardless of the occasion or the feelings of non-smokers around them.

I think Agent Wu and I have the same idea. Unfortunately, you dare not say that your partner is your guide. How can you be sincere?"

The young female agent's ears turned red as she heard it. She stammered and was unable to refute.

The middle-aged man's face turned pale, and he obviously didn't expect this. He put out his cigarette, stood up,

"Well, since you insist on not cooperating, then let it be. But I remind you that any choice you make has a price. After the review results come out, you are fine only because someone paid a higher price for you. We give you the best choice."

"Bai Yu, if you have anything to say in the future, please feel free to contact us." The woman finally put down her business card.

After the two finished talking, they packed up their things and left the hotel room. Not long after, the Internet in the room, which had been interrupted for two weeks, was restored, and Bai Yu returned to the Internet age.
This also means that he has regained his freedom. Tonight, he and Bai Ze Wugao and others will be able to escape from this place called a hotel but actually a cage and return to Tianhai City.

However, he was not very happy and even felt a little confused.

The tragedy that occurred at the Huanglong Martial Arts Arena made the already devastated human world even more difficult to maintain, and the entire federation fell into deep unrest.

This uneasiness makes extremism seem reasonable, turns the pursuit of truth and solution of problems into blind venting of anger, and causes the equality for all that has been striven for for so long to return to the old state of the survival of the fittest.

He himself is deeply involved in it, and now he can't tell whether he is a victim or a perpetrator.

Perhaps he should agree with the mainstream voice, sympathize with the families of the deceased, stop defending the missing Zhao Lingyu, and determine that Zhao Lingyu is part of the conspiracy.

But he couldn't do it against his conscience, as it would affect the judgment of those around him. In the end, Li Qingqiu had to step in for him and pull him out of the center of the vortex.

"Li Qingqiu, the heir of Qinglong Group."

Bai Yu muttered to himself, remembering the instructions from that day, and turned on his almost dusty computer to log into World of Alien Beasts. Among a bunch of jumping red dots, he clicked on the pink email sent by [Early to Bed, Early to Rise]:

Senior, I have finally waited for you to become an adult, happy birthday, hehe!
Below the content is the birthday gift, which is also the result of their joint efforts some time ago, the first tenth-level magic armor in the entire server - Qingtian.

Then the crystal also prompted new information. He obtained the evolution card: [Data Magic Armor].

"What can I give you in return?"

Bai Yu felt even more depressed.

Evolution cards mean sincerity. Li Qingqiu is not just playing a development game with him for fun, but is serious about it. Li Qingqiu is not Qi Yu. He owes the former too much and can only face it head-on and cannot escape.

At this time, the gray avatar of [Early to Bed, Early to Rise] in the friend column became brighter, and then a string of text popped up in the chat box:
"Well, they didn't make things difficult for you, did they? These people are just using chicken feathers as a token of authority, jumping up and down all day long and making complaints everywhere, and they also don't allow me to contact you. It's really abominable."

"No, I will come back with the people from school tonight. Qin Ying's body has been overloaded for too long, so she will stay in Huanglong City for a while to recuperate."

"That's great. Do you want me to pick you up? I just woke up and I'm very energetic, hehe."

"No, I'll come find you tomorrow and we can talk together."

"Really? You want to see me? Is that a typo?!"

"It's true."

"I don't believe it. It must be you pretending to be Bai Yu, unless you turn on the camera and show it to me."

"."

Bai Yu glanced at the camera facing the wall and realigned it to face him.

"Ok?"

"I still don't quite believe it. Maybe it was synthesized by AI, unless you say now, 'Senior, I miss you so much.' Let me hear it. AI definitely doesn't have such data."

"Then senior sister, please continue to question." Bai Yu turned the camera back.

"No, no, I believe you. Hey, where shall we meet tomorrow?"

"I'm fine with either. It's mainly about your convenience."

"Why don't you come to my house? Feather misses you. I'll also show you my arsenal and laboratory. You'll definitely like it."

"Okay, send me the address."

"Don't bother. I'll send someone to pick you up at 10 a.m. By the time you arrive, I'll be almost awake."

"Okay, see you tomorrow. I'm packing my gifts now and preparing to go to the airport."

"Yeah, go ahead. I'll clean up my bedroom and bed now so you don't have nowhere to stay."

"."

Two hours later, Bai Yu, Zhou Yulan, Bai Zewu and other high school students boarded a plane to Tianhai City. They arrived safely at eight o'clock that evening. After saying goodbye to each other, everyone went back home.

Bai Yu and Zhou Yulan entered the house. Zhou Yulan, who had been very strong all this time, suddenly covered her mouth and sobbed.

"What's wrong?" Bai Yu handed over a tissue.

"The USB drive I gave you was given to me by Zhao Linglong. She said it contained some of her martial arts experience. I didn't know she was that kind of person at the time."

Zhou Yulan's eyes were red, and she hugged Bai Yu tightly, "Mom, I'm sorry."

During these two weeks, she was worried every day, fearing that the people from the Martial Master Administration Bureau would find out about this.

Now Zhao Linglong is the target of public criticism, and anyone who is directly related to Zhao Linglong will not be able to escape easily.

Fortunately, she withstood the pressure, kept everything in her heart, and didn't mention it to anyone. The people from the Martial Master Administration Bureau didn't find out, and she and Bai Yu both returned safely.
