Chapter 500 - 229: Defensive Magical Treasure! The Old Daoist Truly Excels at Demon-Vanquishing!
[Spirit Jade Ball (Magical Artifact): This is a special defensive magical treasure in the Swordsmen of Shushan game. Once activated, it can trigger a protective shield for defense.
Current Level: Level 1 (Upgradeable)
Upgrade Requirement: 50,000 reputation!]
After reading the notes, Chen Han thought he could wish for things more often with the game system in the future. Previously, he had wished for a few more Spirit Stones, and then Spirit Stones just appeared.
He had just thought about obtaining a Demon Blood Stone, followed by a defensive treasure. That way, he would have defense and recovery from the Demon Blood Stone, and once his Basic Sword Control Technique cultivation was mastered, what would happen?
And now, surprisingly, a defensive magical artifact had indeed appeared.
Moreover, it was another treasure that could be upgraded using reputation.
With such a scenario, if the Spirit Jade Ball could withstand bullets, what would happen if he placed it among a military force?
Thinking of this, he walked over and put one of the pistols into the game warehouse, planning to test the defensive effect of the Spirit Jade Ball later.
Li Rui rushed in from outside, looking at the crowd inside and several computers with bouncing data.
Then he saw the unconscious little girl and promptly called Huang Xin. Once connected, he said, "Captain Huang, bring people up to the top floor of Building 9; someone is here, and the child is here too!"
After saying this, he quickly dialed 120 for emergency medical assistance.
Having done all this, he respectfully bowed to the old Daoist of the Chen Family and hurried to check on the child.
Just as he suspected, the leader’s child had been kidnapped by these people.
Earlier, news had been released about cracking down on overseas fraud, especially the scam syndicate in Myanmar, where over 2,000 members were arrested.
These were just the main members; there were even more peripheral members, mostly in the Qingmin Region.
Just in Linhe County alone, more than 130 people were on the suspect list, with over 30 confirmed to have fled the country.
Most importantly, a ringleader had been captured in Linhe County, whom the leader was determined not to let go, or they would have escaped.
So, seeing the old Daoist of the Chen Family here and the leader’s child missing, he felt a bit uneasy.
In their line of work, it’s not uncommon for family members to be retaliated against.
Sometimes, retaliation involves injecting the child, damaging their brain neurons so they can’t grow intellectually again, or even cutting off the child’s limbs for revenge.
These people don’t kill the child but use such heart-wrenching methods to make the hero live in pain, regret, and frustration for a lifetime.
This world is not as peaceful and safe as people think; it truly relies on the sacrifices and silent guardianship of many.
Therefore, seeing the child, his bow was very sincere.
Moments later, there was some activity as Huang Xin arrived with his men, and Chen Han received another game prompt:
[Congratulations, you have completed the Demon-slaying Task, eliminated the task released by the Shushan Immortal Alliance to clear the peripheral members of the Wutai Sect, and were rewarded with 10 Basic Spirit Stones!]
Seeing this reward, Chen Han felt that the completion of the task seemed a bit stingy with this reward.
However, thinking about how the two waves of Wutai Sect’s peripheral members had already dropped a Demon Blood Stone and a Spirit Jade Ball, he decided not to mind the game system’s stinginess.
Besides, with these 10 Basic Spirit Stones, he now had over 20 Basic Spirit Stones in his game warehouse, enough for him to cultivate for a while.
At this time, Huang Xin also saw the child, especially noticing a syringe placed beside them, likely intended for the child.
Thankfully, the liquid inside hadn’t been injected yet.
If the old Daoist of the Chen Family had been any later, he couldn’t imagine the consequences.
This prompted him to bow deeply to the old Daoist, and when the others came up to understand the situation, they also realized what was happening. A group of people all bowed reverently to the old Daoist.
Seeing this, Chen Han didn’t say much; with the task completed, he left the room to return to the Chen Family.
Seeing this, Huang Xin immediately instructed an officer, "Drive the old Daoist back to the Chen Family!"
The officer nodded and respectfully followed, entering the elevator.
As the elevator doors closed and descended.
Li Rui stood up with a grim expression and kicked a nearby person hard: "Cuff them all and take them back, don’t leave any evidence at the scene."
Others nodded, immediately placing silver bracelets on these people with a rough process, obviously very angry with these individuals.
Afterward, Li Rui also checked these people’s injuries, which were much more severe than the previous group, all with piercings.
Moreover, the injuries were somewhat similar to those of the earlier Sun Hai, which piqued his curiosity.
Suddenly, his eyes fell on a cabinet nearby, where half of a toothpick was embedded, stained with blood.
"How is this possible?" Li Rui exclaimed, a disbelieving suspicion crossing his mind.
The ambulance soon arrived as well, taking the little girl to the hospital for a check-up to ensure safety.
Li Rui and Huang Xin then brought the people back, juggling two groups of individuals, which meant they were going to be extremely busy, especially since the Jingmei Group case wasn’t closed yet.
Yet, despite this busyness, they found enjoyment and fulfillment.
This kind of workload, with evidence overwhelmingly pointing to guilt, was welcome.
Nearly 30 people were arrested from two operation points, and numerous phones and computers were seized at commercial centers and residential areas, quickly becoming the most sensational event in Linhe County.
In a place like Linhe County, where if more than 20 people discover an incident and share it to their social circles, spreading across several groups, almost everyone becomes aware of it in no time.
