Thinking of this, Jian did not continue to stand there stiffly, but quietly followed Chen Huijie to the side, but...

Jian glanced at the young man in front of her. Just now, she could feel the fighting spirit emanating from the young man. Although it was very weak, the fighting spirit made Jian's heart surge for a moment. That was the purest intention of a warrior. As a warrior herself, Jian naturally understood it.

Moreover, judging from the young man's elusive move just now, Mace had to admit that this guy was probably a strong enemy. Back then in Casimir, even Xuan Tie couldn't do what he did.

However, he didn't look like he wanted to go somewhere else to compete with me. Did he really want to talk about business?

While Jian was thinking about the current situation, Chen Huijie was also thinking about Jian. If a person wants to gain a deeper understanding of the passionate and challenging field of Casimir Knight Competition, then he will inevitably not be able to bypass a legendary name - "Black Knight".

In the land of Casimir, knightly competitions are the stage where countless knights pursue the highest honor. For the vast majority of participating knights, winning a championship trophy is undoubtedly the most coveted peak moment in their careers, symbolizing supreme glory and wealth.

However, for the legendary figure known as the "Black Knight", the championship trophy seems to be just an insignificant footnote in her glorious life.

Her name has long surpassed the trophy itself and has become an indelible mark in the history of Casimir Knight athletics.

But for those in the know, the Black Knights' three consecutive championships meant much more than just superficial glory.

They all knew that behind the glitz and glamour lay a more complex and subtle game. The Chamber of Commerce didn't really want to see the Black Knight accomplish this unprecedented feat—winning a third championship.

This means that for a long time to come, the competition will lose its suspense, and the audience's enthusiasm and expectations will also fade. For business associations pursuing maximum profits, an environment full of variables and competition is what they are most happy to see.

Thus, a seemingly flawless script quietly surfaced: let the Black Knight fall down in front of the third championship trophy that is about to be within reach. Such a plot will undoubtedly arouse the audience's sympathy to the greatest extent, thereby bringing the most abundant commercial value.

The Chamber of Commerce believed that everything was under control. They were confident that even a powerful force like the Black Knight would eventually succumb to their will and act according to their carefully designed script.

However, the Black Knight proved her invincibility through her actions. She chose not to comply with the Chamber of Commerce's arrangements, but instead announced her choice to everyone with one stunning victory after another.

Therefore, her story has become the most moving chapter in the history of Casimir Knight Competition.

However, the moment the Black Knight stepped down from the podium, the assassination attempt on her had already begun. The ashamed and angry Chamber of Commerce ruthlessly issued a killing order to the No Hero Alliance.

However, when the Black Knight was about to reach the city gate, thanks to the unremitting efforts of the No-Horned Alliance, she was probably only slightly injured.

This was essentially like giving those powerful figures a slap in the face; they certainly wouldn't let her go. Ultimately, the Wuzhou Alliance summoned Xuantie. However, even Xuantie only managed to get her to leave the trophy in the city.

Then, Enthiodis Shivaash, who was still in Victoria at the time, spent a huge amount of money to save the Black Knight from the assassination attempt by the Helmetless Alliance, stopped the Helmetless Alliance's attack on the Black Knight and revoked the hunting order against the Black Knight.

From then on, the Black Knight used the code name "Mace" and served as Enthiodis Shivaash's bodyguard.

However, Chen Huijie had expected that this guy would be left in Kjerag by Enthiodis Shivaash to stabilize the situation there, but he did not expect that he would be brought here.

It seems that Enchiodis Shivaash is still too immature now, and does not have enough control over his plans, so he has to take such insurance as his last trump card.

Facing such a strong man, Chen Huijie naturally wanted to have a fight with him, but as he just said, he had things to do right now and could not indulge his selfish desires.

"Well, Ms. Mace, I already knew about your employer, Enthyodis Shivaash."

After reaching a secluded place, Chen Huijie did not delay and went straight to the point.

"There are still some issues with him regarding Victoria that need to be verified. Only after his innocence is confirmed can he be released. Miss Mace, if you can provide evidence of his innocence, I think you can allow Enchiodis Shivaash to return with you early."

"...I'm just a bodyguard. I never ask about my employer's affairs."

Mace suppressed the movement of raising her eyebrows. She naturally knew a little about Enthyotis's plan, but she didn't expect that the problem would be caused by Enthyotis himself. However, she couldn't say anything about it. She just maintained her original expression and said:

"But I think you called me here not just to ask for evidence."

"Indeed, as everyone knows, there are provisions in the current Longmen laws that allow for atonement of sins through meritorious service."

Chen Huijie pressed his hand on the wall next to him and exerted a little force. With a "bang", dust flew up. Chen Huijie waved his sleeves and blew away all the dust. Then, on the wall, a simple area map appeared in front of Jian.

What kind of control is this?!

The mace comes from a Knight of the Caprini tribe of Letania. Unable to use the Originium techniques common to all Letanians, she was scorned as a "Lehtanian substandard who can't use magic." However, this also motivated her to diligently study martial arts, ultimately honing her skills to the ultimate level after many years, earning her the title of "natural born warrior."

Therefore, Jian, who was considered to be well-informed, could not hold back his expression when he saw Chen Huijie's move, and showed a bit of strangeness. This also made Jian want to challenge Chen Huijie.

"How about doing a small feat on behalf of Enchiodis Shivaash?"

Chen Huijie looked at the mace and said with a smile that, originally at this point in time, each Black Raincoat Shadow Guard had his own tasks to handle or guard, and it would be inconvenient for Chen Huijie to mobilize them to do other things, so as not to interfere with the deployment of Governor Wei.

Therefore, Chen Huijie naturally had to order this "new subordinate" who was right at his doorstep around. Moreover, Chen Huijie also understood the character of this Miss Black Knight. In the previous world line, when he was in Kjerag, he and Mace had gone into the snowy mountains many times. It was common for her to drag him out of the snowy mountains, or for him to drag her out.

"You speak, I'm listening, I can understand this map."

Just as Chen Huijie expected, Jian showed no sign of refusing. He folded his arms, looked at the map, and said softly:

"First of all, I'm not responsible for those foul words about murder."

"It would be best if we could capture him alive."

Chen Huijie smiled and quickly drew a route on the wall map, briefly and concisely introducing to Jian the key points and precautions of her patrol route.

The patrol mission this time was not because Chen Huijie got some inspiration from the memo, but simply because after analyzing the current situation, he felt that he needed to pay a little more attention there. It would be best if he could stop something, but it would also be great if he could stop nothing.

In the final analysis, it was because in the previous world line, I was not in Longmen at this point in time, but was studying abroad. I didn't know enough about Longmen at that time, so I couldn't do it perfectly and could only do my best.

What Chen Huijie didn't expect was that after he finished explaining the task, Jian asked a few questions to further confirm the key points of the task, and then couldn't wait to speak her mind:

"After my employer comes out, if there's still time, how about we find a place to spar?"

Seeing Chen Huijie's eyes suddenly light up, Jian's face also showed a wild smile of expectation, and he whispered:

"I have a feeling you'll be a good opponent."

"Then I must find you a greatsword of good quality."

Chen Huijie also grinned and whispered:

"A mace is indeed a good weapon. It can easily spare an opponent's life at any time. But against me, you should use your best weapon. Enxiodis Shivaash has my contact information. You can contact me at any time."

"Ah."

Chen Huijie and Jian looked at each other. The swordsman and the warrior saw what they wanted in each other's eyes, so they both left here happily and went about their own business. Of course, Chen Huijie wiped off the map on the wall before leaving.

When Chen Huijie arrived at the office of the Guard Bureau, his cell phone rang. It was an unfamiliar number, but Chen Huijie had a memory of it. It was Jessica looking for him...

220 Wei Lao Er: Thump, thump, thump! Another one?

Chen Huijie was not surprised at all by Jessica's call. The treatment of Black Steel International for its subordinate employees was quite generous, but this generosity was based on the qualification of task indicators. Although he didn't know who hired Jessica's team this time, they did fail this time. Even Jessica might not realize that she had been tricked by Chen Huijie.

Right now, there are only two ways for Jessica's team to avoid being punished. The first is for Jessica to ask her grandfather, who has great magical powers and good connections, for help. The second is to find a more valuable task to make up for the loss. The former can exempt the team from any punishment, and the latter can reduce the level of punishment.

The two seniors in Jessica's team naturally would not choose the first option, so choosing to contact herself has become an inevitable choice.

Chen Huijie answered the phone and a rather charming voice came from the other end. Chen Huijie was familiar with the owner of this voice. It was Franka, the security specialist for biochemical protection personnel of Black Steel International. She had rich experience and strong combat capabilities in operational protection, tactical assault, and tactical coordination.

Her primary weapons are a swift sword and a short rapier. The swift sword, crafted from a single crystal of Originium, is Franka's most commonly used weapon. Combined with Franka's Originium skills, it generates a rapid burst of heat (while maintaining its shape), making it highly effective against targets equipped with metal armor. Enemies often underestimate her light equipment and slender weapon, misjudging her true combat power.

Through the phone, Chen Huijie heard the breathing of the others. It seemed that the last member of the team, Razer, was also there. She was an employee of Black Steel International Private Security Consulting Company, providing security and defense services to multinational companies, government departments and Organizations Without Borders, and had accumulated rich practical experience in conflict zones.

Compared to Franka's fighting style, Razer's fighting style always maintains a steady rhythm: attack, advance, confirm the battlefield situation, communicate with teammates in a timely manner, consider tactics, and then repeat the operation at the same pace.

In the previous world line, these two served as instructors in Rhodes Island, and the training results were quite good. Chen Huijie dealt with them with the idea of recruiting them back to the Lungmen Guard Bureau, but unfortunately, Kal'tsit, the old lynx, discovered his intention, causing his plan to poach people from various departments to fail.

Although they haven't come to Rhodes Island yet, it's not the time to poach them. Let them work for the money first.

Chen Huijie had no intention of wasting time talking to Franka. He used the Black Steel rhetoric he learned in the previous world line to discuss the content directly, assigned the tasks, hung up the phone, and started to work on the documents in front of him.

In response, Franka looked at the phone that was hung up cleanly, and her expression was a little stunned for a moment. In the past, no matter what situation she faced, Franka could maintain a calm attitude and deliberately induce others to believe her carefully designed words.

This communication was no exception, but the person on the other end of the phone obviously didn't buy her tricks and didn't give her any room to maneuver, as if he knew everything about their team's situation. During the conversation, Franka had no initiative at all and could only say "hmm, ah, okay" the whole time.

“Jessica, how did you meet this Mr. Chen?”

At this time, Razer looked at Jessica sitting on the chair in the room, and at the same time reached out to interrupt Franca's words. He knew his partner. After she made jokes like this, Jessica was probably embarrassed to faint. If she missed any details at that time, it would be too uncomfortable.

"Nothing, just like I told you just now, he helped me and gave me his business card."

Jessica's voice became lower and lower. Although she didn't know what she had done wrong, she keenly felt that something might have gone wrong in this situation.

"Okay, there's no point asking this. Razer, are you planning on taking on the punishment for failing a mission? I don't want to. I want to buy a lot of things with my year-end bonus."

At this moment, Franka smiled and began to liven up the atmosphere. Then she jumped up from the bed, moved her body helplessly and said:

"Mr. Chen is really good at ordering people around. I'm still a patient, but luckily the task isn't too demanding, otherwise, I'm afraid he would have refused. Come on, pack up and get ready to go."

Jessica and Razer nodded silently and began to prepare to recover the losses from the failed mission, but at this moment...

"Little Jessica, is Mr. Chen handsome?"

"So handsome, so... woo!!!"

Franka's sudden attack made Jessica speak her mind subconsciously. Then, looking at Jessica whose face suddenly turned red and steam began to come out of her head, Franka teased and took the team member's hand, and went to the mission front with Razer.

At this time, Chen Huijie was processing information related to the Pardon Master. That factory was indeed the Pardon Master's base in Longmen.

However, the members of the Pardon Division there had already retreated, leaving only a small team disguised as gangsters to continue lurking in Longmen, so that they could establish a new base in Longmen when needed in the future.

Moreover, before leaving, the members of the Pardon Division used unknown means to find the Victoria spies hiding in Lungmen and sold the base to those spies.

However, there were still some unprocessed experimental products in the base, and it seemed that the Victoria spies had not been informed. Those Victoria spies also planned to destroy the base after taking away the information. As for those flesh and blood experimental products, if they could not be killed by the explosion, then Longmen would have to worry about it himself.

The documents seized from Victoria's spies indicated that the products of the flesh and blood experiments were created after a failed blood fusion. The information translated by Shining also contained the words "This experiment is quite uncontrollable. If any abnormal incidents occur in Longmen, they must be reported in a timely manner."

However, there was no need for Chen Huijie to deal with these dangerous goods, because when the report was handed over to Governor Wei, an order for their complete destruction was issued. The Black Raincoat Shadow Guards used the methods of the Imperial Guards to reduce those dangerous goods and the experimental base that had been looted to ashes, leaving no chance for the crisis to resurface.

Strictly speaking, Chen Huijie had never witnessed the methods of the Black Shroud Shadow Guards with his own eyes, because when he was in charge of Longmen, most of the Black Shroud Shadow Guards had been sacrificed, and the remaining members had no chance to carry out related tasks. So Chen Huijie pondered for a moment, wrote a blood talisman, and had the Black Shroud Shadow Guards buried in the industrial area as an extra insurance.

Then, there are the other consequences caused by the big operation last night. I believe no one expected that such a big operation would suddenly occur within Longmen. This should be the first time that the Longmen officials have used such a tough attitude to cleanse the internal affairs without the invasion of external forces. This not only involves the slums, but also many police superintendents within the Guards Bureau have been removed.

It is conceivable what the senior officials in Longmen City would think about this.

However, most of those were handled by the Governor's Office. Chen Huijie didn't want to go, ah, no, he was not good at dealing with those social issues, so he came to deal with situations other than social issues.

Chen Huijie's working speed was still as fast as ever, but slowly, his brows began to frown. He looked at the documents that were specially selected, tapped his chin lightly with his fingers, and thought thoughtfully.

The matters in these documents all involve cases involving foreign personnel, many of whom are Ursus spies who have been targeted by the Rat King. Last night, they suddenly began to take large-scale actions, and some even wanted to rush into those propaganda outlets open to the outside world, as if they wanted to pass on some information or make it public.

But Chen Huijie had already suffered once from these people's rebellion. In the previous world line, these spies had caused Chen Huijie a lot of trouble. Therefore, in the plan submitted, Chen Huijie made room to write about how to deal with them.

But...why did they just commit suicide so easily?

This was something Chen Huijie couldn't understand. According to his understanding of Ursus spies, these specially trained guys would never give up their lives easily because they knew they could create greater value by staying alive.

So, are there any unknown secrets in Longmen at this time?

The secret must be very important. Those spies would rather die than give Longmen any chance to know it, because once the secret breaks out, it is very likely that Longmen will be in trouble.

What exactly is this?

Chen Huijie sat on the chair with a puzzled frown on his face. He took out his cell phone and flipped through the notes of the favorability system over and over again, but this was just a diary he left in the previous world line, not an omniscient book.

Chen Huijie stood up and walked to the sand table next to him, on which was a miniature model of the Longmen city area. He paced around the sand table. At the same time, according to Chen Huijie's order, the files related to those spies were also quickly transported here.

But even with this information, based on their pattern of action, Chen Huijie could only lock the final landing point in the lower city area of Longmen No. 24 to 26, which is where the slums are located.

But this is not enough. Even if there are only these few urban areas, the scope is too large. Even if Chen Huijie personally goes to investigate, it may take several days to find the answer.

However, matters related to spies cannot be delayed, and time itself is the most critical thing.

At this moment, Chen Huijie suddenly thought of something. His eyes fell on the spy-related documents. After a moment of hesitation, he turned to look at Hei Suo beside him and said softly:

"Please bring me the records of all the people arrested last night."

"Young sir, quite a few people were arrested last night. I'm afraid the detailed files haven't been sorted out yet..."

"It doesn't matter. Just bring over as many as you can organize. Even if there are only names or photos left, bring them over as well."

After Chen Huijie gave such an order, the Black Raincoat Shadow Guard naturally did not dare to neglect it and immediately took out the things he asked for. Chen Huijie also quickly looked through the contents.

After a while, Chen Huijie's hand suddenly stopped. He slowly closed the roster, looked at the black-capped shadow guard beside him and whispered:

"From now on, no prisoners are allowed to leave the Guard Station. Implement a Level 2 lockdown. Trace the movements of all those released from prison between midnight last night and now. Don't inform Governor Wei yet. I'll report this later. This operation will be conducted in secrecy. Don't alert any unnecessary personnel."

"Yes, young sir!"

Seeing Chen Huijie's serious expression, the black-clothed shadow guard immediately began to pass on the order. At the same time, Chen Huijie disappeared from the office and came to the confinement area. Looking at W who was chatting with the guard, he waved his hand gently and asked W to go back to his room.

Then, Chen Huijie came to Logos' room and looked at the banshee who was bored and turning the bone pen, and said softly:

"Do me a favor and use your witchcraft to ask some questions for me. Once you're done, it'll be a great accomplishment for you."

"A great achievement? What can it be exchanged for?"

Logos didn't expect to meet Chen Huijie so soon, and that he would actually apply for cooperation with him, which made him really curious.

"That depends on what you want."

After listening to Chen Huijie's answer, Logos was silent for a moment, then stood up and said with a smile:

"Okay, I'll take the job. We'll discuss the compensation later."
