All-out: Starting with the Awakening Special Operations Unit, search, attack, and withdrawal.

The misunderstanding is cleared up!

With the addition of a new member with amazing potential, Chu Hong finally showed a reassuring smile to Luo Xin.

"Don't worry, with those debt collection and coercion call records that He Zhenshan sent you before, and no substantial video footage of the battle, the wanted department will at most ask you a few questions."

"As for how you escaped..." Chu Hong shrugged with a smile.

"Just show them your excellent evacuation rate. As long as they can't produce concrete evidence, they can't do anything to you unless they resort to torture!"

Luo Xin's pretty face tightened.

"What if they resort to torture?"

Chu Hong remained silent, but her brother Luo Yi spoke up quietly.

"Then it's a matter between us and the Arrest Department."

Even Donald, upon hearing these words that would frighten many people if they were to spread, chose to smoke and acquiesce.

I have witnessed many of Chu Hong's methods.

Now, Chu Hong has established two teams, one openly and one secretly. This in itself shows that Chu Hong is by no means a pushover who likes to follow the rules. In fact, Chu Hong's current behavior is clearly more inclined to the villainous side.

"Ahem, alright, let's not discuss this matter any further. Since you will be my team members from now on, I, Chu Hong, guarantee that I will never turn a blind eye when you are punished."

"Of course, that's assuming I don't have to say anything more... Nobody likes to be betrayed!"

Chu Hong's gaze swept indifferently across the faces of the Luo siblings.

The warning was made without any attempt to conceal it.

Seeing the two nod, Chu Hong then turned his gaze to the stronghold that could already be abandoned.

"So next, Luo Yi will follow Old Tang. He has a way to get you a relatively convenient identity. Although it can't withstand any strict investigation, at least it won't leave you hiding in the gutter."

"Make a list of what you need to rebuild the laboratory and the production line for the [forbidden substance], and someone on the team will be responsible for procuring these things for you."

......

The Thousand Insect Village base city has been attacked.

He Zhenshan, chairman of the He Group, and Wang Guangyi, the city lord, were killed.

Just as Chu Hong and Luo Xin had safely returned to Huangshan Base City, the news had already spread rapidly to various surrounding base cities.

Even the instant Luo Xin stepped off the airship.

Several people were already waiting at the airship's dock early in the morning.

"Luo Xin, is that right? We are from the Great Xia Arrest Bureau. These are our identification documents. We need your assistance in an investigation. Please come with us."

The man in the lead, with a cold and stern look, who seemed more like an assassin than an investigator, blocked Luo Xin's path.

Chu Hong, disguised, did not look at Luo Xin and disembarked from the airship normally.

He even glanced curiously at the few officers from the Arrest Bureau.

As Luo Xin was taken away.

After Chu Hong returned to the Song family manor, Song Ming immediately summoned him to the study.

"Did you kill Wang Guangyi and He Zhenshan?!"

Song Ming's voice was sharp, but it was deliberately lowered by the other party.

Even as the president of the Rubik's Cube Chamber of Commerce, a man who had seen countless people, he could not hide the shock and disbelief in his eyes when he looked at Chu Hong.

That's the lord of a city!

What's more, it's on someone else's turf...

Chu Hong tapped the table: "Uncle Song, you can't say things like that. I just heard from the Pioneers Guild that it was the Black Hole Council that killed Wang Guangyi and He Zhenshan."

"Sigh, who could have imagined that Jiang Long, the star figure of our Huangshan base city back then, would stoop so low as to join the Night Raven Society and even launch such a terrifying riot?"

Chu Hong's pained expression actually calmed Song Ming's shock, causing him to regain his composure.

"Have you cleaned it up?"

Chu Hong nodded, and Song Ming was finally completely relieved.

"Don't worry, although Luo Xin's brother is wanted, which does make her a suspect, suspicion is suspicion. Without evidence, nothing can be said for sure."

The facts are just as Song Ming said.

Since returning, Luo Xin was taken away for investigation for five consecutive days. She returned once or twice during that time, but was then taken away by other departments.

Even Chu Hong, the captain of the "Big Dog Chewing Team," was routinely questioned.

Within the Pioneers Guild.

Chu Hong was filled with the righteous indignation that a young man should have, slamming his fist on the table and swearing.

"Holy crap! Bro, you guys have no idea! When I ran into her in the secret realm that day, those Black Mantis squad members following her treated her like she was nothing!"

"The young girl has the skill of positioning, but who has four people blocking the front of the camera, and carrying such a big bag? I couldn't stand it anymore, so I went up and said a few words."

"I said... hey, isn't this inappropriate?... I just said that one sentence, and guess what happened?"

Chu Hong slammed his fist on the table, his face full of indignation and grievance, pointing to one side of his cheek.

"The vice-captain of the Black Mantis squad came up and slapped me across the face. Do you know how much psychological trauma that slap caused to a young man like me who was just about to enter the Energy University?"

Chu Hong's grief-stricken expression, coupled with his exaggerated body language, was evident.

The staff members in the interrogation room who were responsible for recording and questioning were all trying to suppress their laughter, while the leader, the icy "assassin," frowned.

"So, you killed them?"

"Yes! I killed them!" Chu Hong nodded suddenly with a serious and honest expression, which made the clerk, who was preparing to record Chu Hong's rebuttal, pause in surprise.

One sentence was enough to make the "assassin" icy man's expression freeze for a moment.

"You admit it?"

Chu Hong scoffed, "What's wrong with admitting it? What? You've never killed anyone?"

The phrase "You've never killed anyone," uttered by Chu Hong, sounded as if he were saying, "Are you still breastfeeding?"—the sarcasm was palpable.

The man gave Chu Hong a deep look.

Killing someone in a secret realm is certainly wrong, but that's none of his business.

The Arrest Bureau can't handle it all...

Where were you during those days after the incident?

"The Song Family Manor!"

"You've been staying at the manor for three days straight? Haven't you gone out?"

"Brother, my girlfriend is Song Jiao'er! With such a beautiful girlfriend with an amazing figure, why would I go out? Is it that fun outside?"

"..."

After everyone who had openly contacted Luo Xin was routinely questioned by the wanted persons,

Two days later, Luo Xin returned safely to the Song family manor.

"Waaaaah! Captain, I'm finally out! Waaaaah!"

With the downfall of the He Group and the resolution of her brother Luo Yi's health issues, the heavy burden that had weighed on this young girl's heart for years was finally lifted.

Instantly, Luo Xin couldn't hold back any longer and threw herself into Chu Hong's arms, bursting into tears.

Chu Hong looked at Song Jiao'er, the school beauty. Faced with this advances, he showed no embarrassment or awkwardness whatsoever. Instead, he winked at Song Jiao'er with a smug look on his face.

See how charming your captain is?

Song Jiao'er rolled her eyes slightly.

That evening, Song Jiao'er had her butler, Uncle Fu, prepare a welcome banquet to formally welcome Luo Xin, the newcomer.

Special Operations Division

【Da Hong Collection Room】

Chu Hong looked at the three display cases in front of him, which were lit up one after another: [Hate Scroll], [Relics of the Paranormal Observer], and [Wooden Man Whistle].

Only level 0 display cases cannot have their corresponding display case effects activated at this time.

But when Chu Hong placed the Ghost Immortal Peach, which was originally Wang Guangyi's source core but was "exploded" after the other party's death, into the display case, Chu Hong's expression couldn't help but froze.

[Item Name]: Ghost Immortal Peach

[Item Level]: Red

Value: 1,293,000

[Type]: Energy Source Material

【Weight】: 0.8kg

[Occupies backpack slot capacity]: 2×2

[Item Description]: A strange peach that did not grow on a peach tree. It exudes an extremely heavy yin energy and carries the scent of incense offered in worship, filled with ominousness and eeriness.

Originally, after being placed in the display case, it should have been at the initial level 0, just like other collectibles.

We need to collect a second display case ourselves to upgrade it.

The moment it was put back in, it was just like those big red figurines of [Ken] and [Yuan Xiaoyuan].

It's directly level 1.

[Collectible]: Ghost Fairy Peach

[Display Case Level]: lv1

[Activation Effect]: Upon entering the supernatural realm, one is automatically imbued with a malevolent aura.

[Upgrade Requirements]: 500 million Energy Points, 3 Ghost Peaches

Chu Hong's eyes widened in surprise.

"Outside of this real-world secret realm, the source cores dropped by the slain Core Condensation Realm pioneers are actually automatically classified as level 1 in the collection room?"

Chu Hong took a slight breath.

Looking at the other display cases waiting to be upgraded, Chu Hong's heart stirred.

It seems we'll have to find a way to include this eerie secret realm called "Ghost Town" in our database...
