"Nonsense, do you think I wouldn't know something's fishy? Tell me something useful."

"Boss, I think this matter might be related to that old lady."

"Huh? What do you mean? Wasn't that old lady already dead?"

"That's not necessarily true! Think about it, the other party is so capable, how do we know what abilities they have? Could it be a smokescreen? And what are the chances of such a coincidence? The lawless scoundrel over there just died not long ago, and the mastermind behind this, Tong Wanlin, just had to run away when his car had a problem."

"That makes sense! So tell me, what should we do?"

"Uh, I don't know!"

"Get lost!" the leader said to him with a sneer.

Suddenly, several bursts of laughter came from the side.

The man scratched his head awkwardly. He knew that everyone who could come here was an elite, and he had probably already guessed what he had just said.

He simply didn't know what specific countermeasures were available.

This was the first time he had encountered such a mysterious event, and he had no experience with it.

Moreover, given the strength that old woman displayed, even if the other party was not really dead, and they happened to discover her, there was nothing they could do about it.

Meanwhile, the prison where the old lady's children were located also attracted a group of special guests.

When the person in charge of the investigation saw the bruises on the two men's faces, his lips twitched slightly, and he glared fiercely at the person next to him.

The man immediately swallowed hard and wiped the cold sweat from his forehead.

He really wanted to say that he didn't do it, that his ex did it, and that he didn't want to take the blame.

However, he dared not, because these two men were sent down from above and wielded immense power, even having the authority to act first and report later.

He can't afford to mess with this kind of person.

One of them looked gently at the old woman's son, "We are investigators sent down from above. We are here specifically to understand your case. Don't worry, we have already dealt with a number of those involved. We will also correct the remaining wrongful convictions one by one. We will not wrong an innocent person nor let any bad person go unpunished."

Upon hearing this, the old lady's two children immediately burst into tears.

Their treatment in prison these days has been worse than death. Except for today when their condition improved for some unknown reason, they have been tortured and abused every day.

"Thank you, thank you so much! I knew the government wouldn't abandon us, sob sob..."

The passion that the two of them had initially felt had long since been worn away during their imprisonment.

At this point, they didn't care what these people were there for; they just wanted to leave as soon as possible.

"Okay, do you know anything about your mother? What kind of person is she at home?"

However, the other party's question left the two bewildered. Weren't they supposed to be here to help them solve their problems? Why were they asking about their mother's condition?

Could it be another trick? A hint of disappointment flashed in their eyes.

"I don't know. My mom is just like any other old lady. She's a very nice person and hardly ever disagrees with anyone."

He didn't even dare to say anything to his mother to defend her. He had had such an opportunity before, but when he argued his case, he was beaten up after returning to prison.

"Think carefully, what makes her different from ordinary people?"

"No!" The two shook their heads and refused to speak further, their eyes filled with disappointment and wariness.

Just as the man was about to ask more questions, the person next to him nudged his waist under the table and shook his head slightly.

Then, he interrupted them with a smile and said, "By the way, I have some good news for you. According to our investigation, you two didn't commit any serious crimes, so you can leave. Also, here is a compensation payment from the government. We hope you can live a good life from now on."

As he spoke, he walked over and handed over a bank card.

The two siblings were stunned again, staring at the bank card in front of them, at a loss for what to do.

"Don't worry, this bank card was issued using your ID information, the password is six eights, and there is 200,000 yuan in it as compensation for the injustice you suffered recently."

Upon hearing this, the two of them widened their eyes in surprise. Two hundred thousand? That much?

How long have they been locked up? From before the Lunar New Year until now, it's only been a little over ten days.

"Can we really go out now?" the old lady's son asked, still pointing at himself in disbelief.

"Yes! You can leave now."

After saying that, he even went to open the door himself.

The handcuffs on the two men's hands had already been removed when they arrived. They looked at the police officers and then at the two leaders who were supposedly from higher up.

Hesitantly, he got up and walked towards the door.

One of the task force members walked over, took the bank card, and came up behind the two men.

"Take this. This is the compensation we promised you, and it's really compensation. Don't worry, it's from the government!"

The two then took the cards and walked nervously outside. Only after they left the prison gates and saw the sunshine outside did the brother and sister breathe a sigh of relief.

In prison, the man who had just been questioning the investigators asked doubtfully, "Don't you understand the situation? We haven't figured out the old lady's situation yet."

"No rush, take your time!" another person waved his hand and said with a smile, "They were clearly on guard just now, so they probably won't tell the truth."

"Sigh, I wonder how the other groups' investigations are going. How come someone like this suddenly appears in this world? I've never heard of such a person before?"

"Who knows? Maybe they just never revealed it before? Perhaps this world is like the ones in novels, with an inner world that we just can't access."

"That makes sense. The strange things that have happened one after another in recent months clearly indicate something unusual. What exactly are those people trying to do? Are they really just trying to act on behalf of heaven? I have a feeling there's a conspiracy involved."

"Hehe, maybe you're overthinking it. What if they just genuinely disapprove?"

"Hmph, they can't stand it. How much have we sacrificed every year to protect this peaceful situation? How many brothers have died? What right do they have to be dissatisfied?"

The other person shook his head. "He's not unhappy with us, he's unhappy with those scumbags!"

"But that's no excuse for them to kill people at will. If everyone did it like this, wouldn't society be in chaos? Since ancient times, the saying 'knights use force to break the law' has simply meant that with power, one can do whatever one wants."

"Forget about that! Let's go and continue investigating the old lady's neighbors to see if there are any clues. The higher-ups are taking this very seriously, so we must handle it carefully. This might be our only breakthrough in contacting the supernatural."

"Understood! I was just venting. Don't worry, I'll still do what I'm supposed to do."

Ding Lingling, Ding Lingling!

One of them had his phone ring. He took it out and answered the call.

"Feed?"

"Come quick! Something's happened! The entire family in Jinxiu Villa has been found dead in their home."

"What? They're involved in this?"

"Yes! His child and the old lady's grandson are classmates!"

"Hiss~ What's going on?"

"From what we understand, the other family's child bullied the old lady's grandson at school, and recently they've been particularly ruthless."

P.S.: This shouldn't be written out; just mentioning it is enough.
