In the pristine white corridor filled with a sense of technology, Zhou Chen, who was on his way to Jiang Che's office, bumped into Xiao Yan, who had just come out of the laboratory, and was beckoned to stop by Xiao Yan.

"Your soul test report is out. It shows that you have recovered to about 68% of its integrity. However, there are still considerable risks involved in performing soul surgery. It would be best to continue the recovery process. Once it reaches more than 80%, it should be stable."

"More than 80%..."

Zhou Chen stroked his chin thoughtfully for a moment: "So, one surgery can restore about 20% of the body? Then why not just give me two more surgeries?"

"Uh... that's not how it's calculated."

Xiao Yan scratched his messy hair: "Soul repair surgery has actually been widely used for a long time. In essence, it involves suturing a sterilized and purified soul together with the soul that needs repair. Once it adapts and merges, it can be cured without any aftereffects."

However, your injuries are too severe, and your soul is weak. If you rashly undergo surgery, it is very likely that the soul used for repair will not be able to digest it, resulting in a soul rejection reaction. If the rejection is severe, it may even cause the soul to collapse.

Another possibility is that your soul is repaired and digested in reverse. At that time, your personality, memory, character and other aspects will be affected. In the end, you will either become a multiple personality disorder madman or become a different person.

Numerous experiments have shown that the safest time for surgery is when the degree of soul damage does not exceed 20%...

"etc……"

After a long moment of stunned silence, Zhou Chen's eyes widened in astonishment: "What do you mean by 'repairing a soul'?"

Xiao Yan explained, "It's like someone cuts your kidney. At that time, you would need a kidney transplant, right? Repairing with a soul is like that organ source. You don't even need a match. You just need to disinfect, sterilize, and purify it."

However, just like in reality, it is impossible to achieve 100% sterilization. Therefore, some tiny fragments will remain in the soul used for repair, which may lead to rejection, backlash, and other phenomena.

Overall, the problem isn't serious. The technology is very mature, and under normal circumstances, patients can recover and be discharged in two or three days, except in your special case.

As for the source of the souls used for repair... guess?

Is there even a need to guess? Can the human soul be stitched together with that of another species?

...Okay, putting aside the power of the abyss, Zhou Chen admits that it might actually be possible under the evil experiments of some mad scientists or alchemists, but seriously, the soul used for repair is undoubtedly a human soul.

  

Seeing his complicated expression, Xiao Yan shrugged: "Don't think it's creepy. The souls used in the surgery come from voluntary donors. It's just like organ transplantation. It's really nothing special."

The research institute is developing a more efficient purification method. If it can transform the soul after death into pure soul matter, surgery will no longer be necessary; patients can be discharged after just two days of medication. 🌷🍧 ➅9s𝔥ᑌ𝐗.Ⓒ𝓸𝕄 🐊♨

Now you know how precious Canaan Blue and Star Mango are, right? Aside from their other uses, they are treasures containing pure source matter and pure soul essence, which is why they can repair the soul without any side effects…

Ah, I'm out of time, I have to go to a meeting, I have to go now.

"Okay, bye-bye." Zhou Chen said goodbye, and after watching Xiao Yan leave, he fell into deep thought as he walked away.

He wasn't opposed to the soul surgery; as long as he could save his life, he didn't care about anything else. Besides, even if there were side effects, he could avoid them by making a wish.

But the question is, how can we logically restore the integrity of the soul to about 80%?

The Eternal Flame no longer possesses the Blue of Canaan. If he hasn't consumed any treasures, yet his soul's integrity is slowly increasing, it will definitely arouse suspicion.

But if the undercover agent gets the Star Mango, there will be no need for the soul surgery.

After much thought, continuing to go undercover seems to be the safest option at the moment.

Upon arriving at Jiang Che's office, Zhou Chen subconsciously slowed his breathing.

Jiang Che was typing on the keyboard, her expression still the same calm and cold one she never showed, revealing no joy, anger, sorrow or happiness. But Zhou Chen could sense her displeasure, to the point that the air felt like it could explode at any moment.

Zhou Chen gently poured coffee into her cup and asked in a low voice, "I saw on the news that Qin Zewan is dead?"

Jiang Che tapped on the desk, indicating that he should take the documents from the drawer himself.

Zhou Chen opened the top drawer, took out a bound document, closed the drawer, and sat down on the sofa to look through it.

Just as he had thought, Qin Zewan did not commit suicide, but was "forced to commit suicide." He died from a headshot by a gold-plated bullet and was thrown off a building after his death.

An investigation revealed that a traitor among Qin Zewan's bodyguards had unexpectedly killed the other Ascended bodyguards, then murdered Qin Zewan, physically deleted his data, smashed his computer and phone, and finally set a fire before shooting himself, leaving no one to corroborate the story.

The bodyguard's identity was also discovered. He was Qin Zewan's trusted bodyguard who had served him for over ten years and was extremely loyal. There had been no signs of him rebelling before.

The whole thing is full of suspicious points and is too clean; all the clues have been destroyed and no useful evidence can be found.

"Fu Qingqian's?" Zhou Chen closed the file. At this critical juncture, it seemed that only Fu Qingqian had the ability and motive to do such a thing.

"Who else could it be but him?" Jiang Che typed indifferently on the keyboard: "Once ambitions swell, a pawn wants to become a player. He's long been a dog that can't be chained."

Having unified Jinzhu's black market operations, Fu Qing's next step will likely be to completely control the overt shipping channels through commercial competition, which would bring enormous profits, enough to transform him from a pawn into a player.

From then on, they were freed from the role of agents, no longer needing to be used as pawns, ordered around, or humbly greeted.

"Fu Qing is a pawn?" Zhou Chen was surprised. Could someone as powerful and influential as Fu Qing be a pawn?

"Of course, otherwise how do you think he established himself and built his business in Jinzhu?"

Jiang Che gave a rare cold laugh: "A loyal dog that has followed me for more than ten years wants to turn the tables and become its master. I wonder what 'he' is thinking."

"This is outrageous! Is the son-in-law trying to betray his master?"

Zhou Chen imitated it vividly, but it only earned him a look from Jiang Che as if he were an idiot.

She sighed, "If only your work attitude were half as good as your sense of humor."

Now that you're here, do some work for me.

"..."

Zhou Chen had no choice but to agree reluctantly. As soon as he got to the desk, an emergency alarm sounded from Jiang Che's computer, and an urgent message popped up on the screen.

"Did the Ascended Ones commit murder?"

After glancing at the message, Zhou Chen was stunned. How could such a terrible incident have happened?

"Tsk, what a turbulent time."

Jiang Che frowned in annoyance and turned to ask him, "Do you choose to go on fieldwork, or...?"

"Of course, it's fieldwork," Zhou Chen replied hastily.

Fighting is much easier than working!
