Liang Jingu sneered.

Is this a matter of money?

He's just incompetent!

But he didn't dare to embarrass Junyao in public, so he could only go along with her and keep smiling apologetically.

Zhou Yichuan appeared somewhat displeased, and his reprimands came one after another:

"When have I ever mistreated you when it comes to money?"

"Is such a small matter really worth bringing up in front of Grandma?"

"Just name your price, as long as you can solve the problem!"

Jun Yao chimed in, "I think two hundred million is enough."

Liang Jingu almost fainted from his breath.

How many?

Two hundred million?

Grandma, you're so outspoken!

Junyao noticed several pairs of eyes staring at her, and frowned, asking curiously, "Is two hundred million really not enough to buy Grandma's life?"

"No, it's not..."

Fearing he might say the wrong thing, Liang Jingu decided to play dead and give up, hastily glossing over the matter with a single sentence.

"I will do my utmost to resolve the old lady's problem, please rest assured!"

After saying that, he started working on the cloth bag again, roughly creating a magic array, and that was the end of it.

Junyao nestled affectionately against Old Madam Zhou and smiled, "With Master Liang's help, things will definitely get better! Although I can still smell the lingering illness on Grandma, it's clearly weakened considerably! Grandma, don't worry, with Master Liang protecting you, we definitely won't be defeated by this serious illness!"

Madam Zhou believed this and left the banquet hall with peace of mind.

But after the Zhou family left, the apprentices surrounded Liang Jingu, all looking at him with puzzled but admiring eyes.

"Master, when did you make this magical artifact so powerful? I've never heard you mention it!"

"Can this magical artifact really cure the old lady's illness? Anyway, if we handle this well, we'll be able to do whatever we want not only in Jiangcheng, but throughout the whole country!"

"Master, it's such a blessing to have you as our teacher!"

Liang Jingu remained tense and silent.

His apprentices thought he was just pretending to be a master.

But the next second, he fell straight backward like a tree that had been chopped down with an axe.

"Master!"

……

Before leaving the banquet hall, Junyao plucked two strands of hair from her head.

A stick flew towards Madam Zhou, circling her wrist and forming an invisible ring.

The other one was tied to a ring, like a kite string, extending infinitely until it fell back into Junyao's hand.

With these two silk threads, even when Madam Zhou is not by his side, Jun Yao can sense the changes in Madam Zhou in real time.

She has temporarily extinguished the illness.

But who knows if there will be any further fluctuations?

The damp, heavy smell of moss always gave her a bad feeling.

Like a ticking time bomb.

Junyao dislikes gambling, so he always prefers to have a backup plan, just in case.

After saying goodbye to Madam Zhou, she prepared to take a taxi back to Yuexing Huating alone.

She had just opened the ride-hailing app on her phone when she noticed a hand reaching out from the side and snatching her phone away.

"No need to call a taxi, I'll give you a ride."

As he spoke, Zhou Yichuan took a large trench coat from Ye Yang and draped it over Jun Yao's shoulders.

"Where do you want to go back to?"

Jun Yao stared calmly into his eyes. "Where do you want me to go?"

Zhou Yichuan replied calmly, "Either is fine."

"Now you're not worried that I'm a monster anymore?" Jun Yao grinned mischievously. "Don't be fooled by the fact that Long Jing and the others have mutated; that only means something's wrong with them, not that I'm completely fine. What if I'm a more powerful monster?"

Her words made the bodyguards around her tense.

Zhou Yichuan, however, seemed only concerned with whether her coat was warm enough.

Seeing that the collar of her coat was being blown around by the wind, he straightened it for her and carefully buttoned up every single button on her coat.

"It's going to get colder tomorrow; this cold wave is quite strong. You might not have enough clothes at Yuexing Huating. If you're going to stay there, I'll have someone send you another batch later."

Jun Yao smiled even more brightly, her bright eyes and white teeth dazzlingly clear.

"Since you're not afraid, then I have even less to worry about. I'll go back to the waterfront mansion with you."

"Um."

Back in the car, Junyao suddenly asked, "Where will those demons from today be sent? What will happen to them?"

Before Zhou Yichuan could answer, she interrupted, "I've heard of Bureau 749. They specialize in these kinds of things, right? Should we ask them to handle these people? Do they need to investigate and collect evidence? I mean, will they invite me to give a statement?"

Zhou Yichuan didn't ask any further questions, but he clearly understood the expectation in her words. He said, "If they send people to collect evidence, I will invite them to my home. You just need to cooperate with their work."

"No problem!" Junyao patted his chest, eagerly assuring everyone, "I'm definitely duty-bound to do this. Just like Grandma said, our Zhou Group must have a sense of social responsibility! To better investigate the background of these people and eradicate this scourge that threatens public order, I will tell you everything I know! It's just a matter of whether you can urge them to come sooner..."

Zhou Yichuan was about to ask her why she was in such a hurry, but then he remembered that the recording of the second episode of "Heartbeat Threshold 3" was about to begin, and he should indeed sort out all the troublesome things that had accumulated as soon as possible.

Therefore, Zhou Yichuan instructed Ye Yang to contact Bureau 749 directly and report the case of the demon causing trouble.

Bureau 749 quickly dispatched two investigators.

The full-time employees are called Big Cat, and the interns are called Little Yi.

The two arrived at Zhou's Security Company first and met the two mutated feng shui masters.

Five minutes after the meeting, Xiao Yi looked at the big cat with a long face.

"Teacher, I... I can't tell what kind of monsters they are. Maybe you should send me back to the practice group after this... or I can work in logistics..."

The big cat, flossing at his teeth, mocked him, "It doesn't matter which group you're transferred to."

Xiao Yi wanted to cry even more, and then she heard the big cat say, "It's not that there's a problem with your abilities, it's just that these two are human, not monsters."

Upon hearing Big Cat's words, the two mutated monsters, whose names had been restored, became extremely excited and frantically pounded on the glass at the other end of the room, shouting something loudly.

Unfortunately, the soundproofing in the isolation room was too good.

Xiao Yi could only see their pained expressions, but couldn't hear what they were shouting.

"My God..." Xiao Yi exclaimed in shock, "They were murdered like this? How powerful must that person be..."

Big Cat punched Xiao Yi hard on the back of the head.

"You think they were framed?"

"Who could do that?"

"This is an enemy our team has never encountered before..."

"But one thing is certain—"

"The opponent isn't human. Absolutely not!"
