Chapter 2058: Good News!
After many days, Long Qie returned to Yun Chuan City once again.
As before, Zhang Xin led a convoy to pick him up, and since they had already met before, everyone didn’t seem too unfamiliar.
After a few brief exchanges, Zhang Xin invited Long Qie and the others to get in the car.
Once everyone had boarded, the convoy headed towards the Yunchuan Branch.
On the way, Zhang Xin couldn’t help but ask, "Mr. Long, is your visit this time due to another task assigned by the Evil God? Does it still involve the Ghost Raising Family?"
At these words, Long Qie nodded and said, "That’s right, this time I came following an order from Mr. Xiao. He insisted that I must investigate the whereabouts of the Ghost Raising Family and eliminate them entirely!"
Hearing his murderous words, Zhang Xin couldn’t help but smile bitterly in his heart.
He fully understood Xiao Zheng’s orders, but when he thought about the elusive and unpredictable Ghost Raising Family, he felt a headache coming on.
Long Qie glanced at him and immediately knew what was on his mind.
With a smile, Long Qie said, "Don’t feel pressured. This operation isn’t just for your Yunchuan Branch to execute; headquarters and I will also collaborate with you."
"Many hands make light work. If we all work together, we have a good chance of locating the Ghost Raising Family."
"Mr. Long is right, it’s just that I’ve gotten a bit stuck on this matter." Zhang Xin smiled and then couldn’t help but ask, "But still, we should prepare mentally in advance."
"Finding the whereabouts of the Ghost Raising Family is not something that can be done overnight. We must be mentally prepared for this. The Evil God hasn’t set a deadline for the task, right?"
Upon hearing this, Long Qie shook his head and said, "Of course not. Mr. Xiao has accounted for these situations. Don’t worry; even if we can’t find the Ghost Raising Family’s location, Mr. Xiao won’t blame us."
"That’s good." Zhang Xin sighed in relief.
"Although Mr. Xiao is accommodating, you can’t approach this passively." Long Qie, after giving nice words, cautioned him, "If I find out that your attitude is passive, even if Mr. Xiao lets you go, I won’t!"
Hearing this, Zhang Xin’s heart thudded, and he promptly responded earnestly, "Please rest assured, Mr. Long! All 680 brothers in the Yunchuan Branch will indeed give their all in this mission!"
"Otherwise, I’m willing to accept any penalty!"
Feeling his resolute attitude, Long Qie finally nodded in satisfaction.
The convoy passed through the city and finally returned to the branch base.
Upon arrival at the branch, Long Qie immediately had Zhang Xin gather the brothers responsible for intelligence in the branch to a meeting. Zhang Xin handled the contact, and after about ten minutes, a total of thirty-six people gathered in the branch’s meeting room.
Long Qie unhesitatingly sat at the head seat, swept his gaze over the crowd, and said, "Regarding the details of this mission, Zhang Xin should have already briefed all of you, right?"
Everyone nodded upon hearing this.
Long Qie continued, "Mr. Xiao is determined to eliminate the Ghost Raising Family, so we absolutely cannot pull back. Also, everyone must remember when gathering intelligence outside, you must not disturb the snake and alert the Ghost Raising Family. Do you all understand?"
"Understood!" everyone said in unison.
"Very well, now I’ll announce the team personnel list..." Long Qie said.
He then divided the thirty-six people, including himself, into twelve teams, each tasked with investigating Yun Chuan and surrounding counties and cities.
This investigation lasted a full three days.
In these three days, whether it was Long Qie’s team or other teams, none managed to gather any useful intelligence.
However, at headquarters, Evil Eyes brought Xiao Zheng a piece of news that was uncertain whether to be seen as good or bad.
Early in the morning, Evil Eyes called Xiao Zheng and asked him to come to headquarters.
Although Xiao Zheng did not know what had happened, he still agreed immediately.
It took him nearly half an hour to travel, and finally, he arrived at Sky Net headquarters with the fastest speed. Here he couldn’t help but complain that if he didn’t have to go through the city and could fly directly, it would be much faster than driving.
"Evil Eyes, why did you call me here? Couldn’t it be said over the phone?"
Pushing the door open, Xiao Zheng saw Evil Eyes, who was looking anxious.
Evil Eyes had always been calm, never flustered.
Seeing such an anxious side of him appearing, Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but feel very curious inside.
Seeing him finally arrived, Evil Eyes quickly stepped to his side and asked solemnly, "Mr. Xiao, do you remember those golden bones collected by the Wolf King of the Werewolf Clan?"
"I remember, what’s wrong? I thought they were lost? Why are you bringing this up suddenly?" Xiao Zheng couldn’t help but frown and ask.
Upon hearing this, Evil Eyes first took a deep breath, then said, "I’ve finally discovered their whereabouts of those golden bones!"
What!
Upon hearing this, Xiao Zheng’s face instantly showed astonishment!
After being stunned for about half a minute, the astonishment on his face transformed into delight, "Evil Eyes, are you sure you’re not joking with me? Today doesn’t seem to be April Fools’ Day, don’t kid me!"
Hearing his words, Evil Eyes couldn’t help but find it a bit amusing, "How could I joke with you about such a big matter? It’s indeed true; I’ve found out that it’s the people of the Ghost Raising Family who stole those golden bones from the Wolf King!"
"The Ghost Raising Family? It’s them?" Xiao Zheng’s face once again showed shock.
Evil Eyes nodded and said, "It really is the people of the Ghost Raising Family who stole the Wolf King’s golden bones. As soon as the brothers from Sky Net found out the news, they notified me immediately."
"This is truly what one seeks everywhere yet arrives effortlessly!" Xiao Zheng exclaimed in excitement, "It seems my decision was correct; regardless of whether the Ghost Raising Family has collected golden bones themselves, just the ones they stole from the Wolf King are quite numerous!"
"That’s indeed the case, but the biggest problem we face is that we still haven’t found the whereabouts of the Ghost Raising Family." Evil Eyes sighed and said, "Long Qie has been in Xiangnan for three days, yet still hasn’t found anything."
"No worries, I’ve said before, tasks like this require patience." Xiao Zheng said indifferently, smiling, "After all, the golden bones won’t run away in their hands; we’ll capture them eventually and wipe them out completely!"
