Chapter 1831: Working Together Again
Ye Shikai had already anticipated this. The National Security Bureau has many confidential things, not just data, but also lots of "black technology." The capsule mentioned in the materials Ye Shikai submitted is also there in the Bureau, but has always been in storage, only occasionally taken out for research.
"At the time, that group of people suddenly all died from poisoning, and cyanide wasn’t detected in their mouths, only residues in their stomachs. I think, only this kind of capsule could have done it." Ye Shikai analyzed.
"You’re right. Although this thing has some technical content, it’s not the top-tier stuff. In some foreign assassin organizations, it’s often used. You should know this better than I do, right?" Tianjing retorted.
"That’s true, but even if you get this thing, it’s hard to replicate. In other words, they’re used up one by one. Plus, they rarely sell this kind of capsule. So, you can hardly find them in Huaxia." Ye Shikai continued asking, "But these people, even a mere Out-of-Body Stage cultivator took this special capsule. I suspect this organization has many such capsules."
The meaning in Ye Shikai’s words couldn’t be clearer. This kind of capsule is already rare in Huaxia, yet this organization has so many. How did they get them? Following this trail to find the capsule’s source, they could trace it to the organization. If they can uproot it, these cases would naturally be solved.
"I’ll have people investigate this. It won’t take long to have an answer." Tianjing nodded in agreement.
"That’s really great. If we can get support from the National Security Bureau, I think this case will go much more smoothly. Otherwise, relying solely on the police, it’s tough to crack the case."
"Don’t worry, my team and I will definitely do our best."
"Alright then, you all act quickly. I promised Zhang Ting to investigate this case, and I will certainly see it through. Moreover, now that a clue has surfaced, I will head back to Zhongyuan City immediately." Ye Shikai stood up and was about to leave when Tianjing stopped him.
"Mr. Ye, please wait a moment," Tianjing suddenly said.
"Is there something else?"
"I also take this case very seriously. We’ve collaborated before, and this time we have a common goal. I think... We could cooperate again, right?" Tianjing invited Ye Shikai to collaborate. He could understand that, personally, having a Body Integration Realm expert as a partner would be invaluable.
"Tianjing, let’s speak openly. I’m no longer the Netherworld King, and the power of the Netherworld Palace has completely left Yanjing. I’m just a solitary man." Ye Shikai’s description was quite "vivid." Nowadays, he doesn’t even have the Hidden Guards by his side, but has rather gained many people from the Chen family. They are both protectors and overseers.
"What I want is to cooperate with Mr. Ye, not the Netherworld Palace. As long as Mr. Ye is willing to help, I think this case will be much easier."
"Alright. But since I agreed to cooperate, as the inviter, you should show some sincerity, right? Although I know about these capsules, I’ve never seen one. Don’t you have them here? Let me take a look."
"Okay, if it’s just for a look, I can approve it."

"Sir-in-law, since you’re back in Yanjing, you should return to the residence first." Ye Shikai had just left the National Security Bureau entrance when he was stopped by Feng Ling.
"I came back to Yanjing this time to look for information at the National Security Bureau, not to go home. Move aside." Ye Shikai walked past Feng Ling, just about to open the car door when Feng Ling kicked the door with a sidekick, preventing him from opening it.
"Sir-in-law, please reconsider," Feng Ling said coldly.
"Feng Ling, what do you mean by this? You might as well be straightforward," Ye Shikai was slightly annoyed, accepting Feng Ling’s surveillance was one thing, but now obstructing his actions repeatedly, "Is this her idea or yours? If it’s her order, I can call and explain right now."
"It’s not the Family Head’s order," Feng Ling continued, "As a subordinate, I hope the sir-in-law can understand the Family Head’s good intentions. She’s already made concessions. But please, out of consideration for your marital relationship, understand the Family Head. Whether this case is a simple missing person or involves a large cultivator organization operating behind the scenes, it’s a matter for the police and the National Security Bureau. The sir-in-law should return to the residence and accompany the Family Head."
"Since when did my actions require interference from a subordinate? Feng Ling, don’t forget, there’s still the blood of my Netherworld Palace brothers on your hands. Do you think I don’t know? If you anger me, I don’t mind dealing with you on the spot and using your corpse to honor my brothers." Ye Shikai lowered his head, whispered beside her ear, his tone cold yet filled with murderous intent.
"A subordinate’s life is nothing, but I still hope the sir-in-law can understand the Family Head’s intention."
"Hmph." Ye Shikai no longer paid attention to her, got into his car, and drove away. Feng Ling even mentioned the marital relationship. If Chen Yuxin really understood the meaning of these words, how could she have injured him multiple times before?
Currently, around Ye Shikai are members of the Shadow Organization. Speaking of which, the four cars behind him are filled with Shadow Organization members. Ye Shikai is about to leave Yanjing for Zhongyuan City. The highway is naturally the fastest route. But he suddenly turned the car around and drove into the city. It was noon, and Yanjing’s streets were jam-packed with cars, mostly stop-and-go. Taking advantage of this, Ye Shikai suddenly drove into an alley. The trailing cars couldn’t react in time. By the time they did, numerous cars were already blocking their way. They could either "ram through" with their cars or get out to chase on foot.
"With driving skills like this, you dare to tail someone?" Ye Shikai laughed proudly, zigzagging through the alleys and exiting on the other side. He now had to rush to Zhongyuan City immediately. Zhang Ting was still waiting there.
Zhongyuan City.
At this moment, Zhang Ting was quite frustrated. Ye Shikai left without saying a word. When they meet later, she would have to give him a good scolding.
Half an hour later.
"Hey, what are you doing back in Yanjing at this time?"
"Of course it’s to solve the case." Ye Shikai took out a file, "I got this from the National Security Bureau. It’s all confidential files."
"Did you steal it?"
"What are you talking about?" Ye Shikai knocked her on the head directly. He’s not that bold, and there’s no need, right?
"These are all what I got from Tianjing."
