Full-Time Magician: Demon Mage

Chapter 100 Temporary Custody

"What are you doing?"

Tang Yue returned carrying two pheasants and saw a strange scene: a person and a snake seemed to be doing something behind her back.

"I've modified the totem bead for you. I've unleashed its potential, doubling its size and opening up a connection to the outside world. Now it can hold living things."

"From now on, the black serpent can stay inside the bead indefinitely without coming out."

As Wang Teng spoke, he temporarily returned the bead to Tang Yue.

"real?"

A look of delight flashed across Tang Yue's face; if that were the case, it would be even more convenient.

She took it and saw that the space had indeed become much larger, but she couldn't see anything else.

"You can keep it for now. It's safer and more convenient for you to have the totem beads on you. If needed, you can take the whole thing with you and move it around at any time."

Tang Yue handed the bead back to Wang Teng. Considering Wang Teng's mobility and her own strength, she knew which one to choose.

It's safer to place the totem bead on the other person, so even if Zhu Meng finds them later, there's nothing he can do.

"Alright then."

Wang Teng readily accepted the totem bead and happily hung it around his neck.

"Hey buddy, from now on, follow me, and I'll make sure you live the high life."

"I said I'd treat you to a king-class bullfrog sometime in the future, and I mean it."

Wang Teng grinned, genuinely happy, and reached out to stroke the black snake as if he were stroking his bodyguard.

"Pfft~"

"Don't give me that! The animals don't eat that stuff!"

Tang Yue couldn't help but laugh at Wang Teng's antics and began to process the pheasant in her hands.

The black snake seemed to understand Wang Teng's words, and its forked tongue licked frequently, covered with moist saliva.

When Wang Teng saw the black snake's performance, he immediately chuckled. Sure enough, even as a totem, the snake's diet hadn't changed much.

This is a monarch-level bullfrog; it probably never ate one in its entire life, since it has always lived in Hangzhou.

Monarch-level bullfrogs, these kinds of demons, might only be found in foreign rainforest demon empires. For the Xuan Snake, they would be an absolute delicacy.

Both its flavor and its highly toxic properties are extremely suitable; nothing could be more perfect than this.

……

Where did you get the order?

Lingling spent more than an hour rushing from Shanghai to Hangzhou to meet Mo Fan.

"It was sent by Wang Teng, the big dog. He wants me to investigate the cause of death of the two corpses in this Xuan Snake incident."

"Then it was announced, and that was it. The money was already transferred—a full ten million!"

"That dog is incredibly rich!"

Mo Fan quickly took out his phone to show Lingling the account settlement.

"That's true... Alright, since we've accepted the job and the other party has paid, let's do the work according to the rules."

When Lingling saw the payment of ten million, her little face lit up with a big smile. It was the first time she had ever received such a large order.

"By the way, tell me as soon as you have any specific information."

She hadn't forgotten that Mo Fan's mind was with her; she couldn't expect him to do mental work.

Mo Fan immediately recounted everything he knew in detail, including what had happened in the conference room and Wang Teng's instructions, which he hadn't forgotten.

After listening, Lingling began to ponder. The whole story flowed through her mind, and soon she had a direction.

However, many details need to be considered, especially Wang Teng's reminder, which instantly gave her a direction for the investigation.

Furthermore, there may be some dangers involved. This matter is definitely not unrelated to the power struggles among the top management. If they want to investigate, they will likely face all sorts of difficulties.

"No wonder he offered a multi-million dollar reward; this matter is definitely worth the price!"

"That's a smart person!"

Lingling's little brain immediately thought of many things: why the other party didn't take action, why they offered a reward and demanded that the cause of death be made public.

Wang Teng also seems to be playing chess. What is his purpose in this game? Is it merely to clear Xuan She's name?

She immediately took out her phone and made a call.

"Hey? Lingling, is there something you need?" A woman's voice came from the other end of the phone.

"Well, I'd like to ask you to come and provide security for us this time. This request is a bit complicated..."

Lingling told them about Mo Fan accepting the commission, as well as the hidden dangers involved, which the two of them couldn't handle and could easily backfire.

"Okay, I understand." There was a pause on the other end of the phone before she agreed.

Lingling put away her phone, looked at Mo Fan, and said.

"We need outside help this time. If you can't handle it, we might be in serious danger."

"Is it dangerous?" Mo Fan seemed a little skeptical. He was just investigating the cause of death and wanted to avoid those important figures.

"Okay, let's not worry about that. Let's look for historical records first."

"I need to investigate something."

Lingling took out her mini computer again and started paying attention to the aftermath of the Xuan Snake incident. Then, she took Mo Fan to the scene of the incident.

……

Shanghai Qingtian Hunting Grounds.

"I didn't expect Lingling to get involved so early!" Leng Qing put down her phone.

"Keep an eye on her. This situation is indeed a bit dangerous and quite sensitive."

"We just need to do our job well and not worry about anything else. Lingling knows what she's doing."

When Old Man Bao first heard about this, he knew there was something fishy going on. He was a shrewd old man, and he had seen this kind of thing many times before.

She glanced at him coldly but didn't say anything. This incident had caused quite a stir, and she would be there too.

There won't be any problem keeping an eye on Lingling's safety then.

Moreover, she had originally planned to send someone to investigate the matter, but unexpectedly someone offered a reward of tens of millions.

Judging from the content of the commission, it's clear that the other party also seems to have an ulterior motive.

On the surface, the purpose seems to be merely to clear the Xuan Snake of suspicion.

However, if this matter is made public, it will become a trigger, and could easily ignite public sentiment.

We don't know the specifics yet; we'll have to wait for the results of the investigation.

Leng Qing couldn't figure out where things were going, but she needed to set off for Hangzhou immediately.

Songcheng.

In a small building, Tang Zhong put down his phone. He had just spoken with Tang Yue, and in just over ten minutes, she had already arrived at Baishan Qiandong.

This reminded him of the enigmatic Wang Teng. According to the widely known information, Wang Teng was already at a high level, at least at the high level of two systems.

This level of strength places them among the core members of the Inquisition.

This is only the ability he has shown; there is also a hidden ability that he is unaware of, which is probably even more powerful.

He found it hard to imagine how much the other person would grow up to after graduation.

Tang Zhong smiled, happy that his niece Tang Yue had found such a good match.

Moreover, on the other hand, the other party has completely stood on their side, which is very beautiful.
