Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 520 - 98 Let’s Verify the Intelligence First

Thanks to Wang Yunxiao’s timely intervention, the hospital contamination incident did not spread—the main target, Ito Hidemi, after transforming into a demon, was brought to his knees by him. Having taken a trip to Santu River and coming back, Ito regained his senses.

If no one had been able to stop him at the time, it’s frightening to imagine the chaos that would have ensued.

The problem isn’t serious, so there’s no need to rush. After dawn, when the military arrives for support, many problems that seem thorny now will naturally be resolved smoothly.

The daytime is when the Special Service Section truly has the home advantage.

This is why Wang Yunxiao decided to stick to his guns and keep a close watch on this Li Mumu.

As the ancients said, to eradicate external troubles, one must first secure internal stability—resolve the issue with Li Mumu first, then it’s not too late to investigate the case.

The Imperial Jade Seal isn’t going to sprout wings and fly away.

Around three o’clock, the first support team arrived, led by Yan Yu’an and his emergency response team.

At this time, Wang Yunxiao had no desire to meet with them, but there was no other choice. Although he wasn’t the person in charge on the scene, he knew more about the situation than Ito Hidemi.

On his way out, he whispered to Eryang, "Keep a close eye on those three girls, and if any issues arise with anyone, take immediate action."

Youtiao is smart but not ruthless enough.

If we’re talking about ruthlessness, that’s Eryang’s specialty. If big brother says to cut down someone, he does it without blinking an eye.

In Youtiao’s case, he might not be able to do it.

Eryang too was shocked: "Ah? Me?"

"Is there a problem?"

"Yes, what counts as a problem?"

"Don’t worry about what the problem is, just be ready to strike hard."

If there really was something strange hidden inside Li Mumu’s body, with Eryang’s abilities, it was doubtful he could even scratch her surface. Wang Yunxiao didn’t expect him to achieve anything. But as long as there was a bit of a commotion, he himself could rush back promptly from not too far away.

Seeing Wang Yunxiao arrive, Yan Yu’an skipped the pleasantries and got straight to the point, "The incident last night happened abruptly and is quite mysterious. The information and intelligence we each hold may have conflicts or discrepancies. Shall we first verify and straighten out the timeline?"

Intelligence reconciliation, huh?

Wang Yunxiao felt that it was time to align the information too. Starting from Li Mumu being manipulated to control a swarm of mice, the vortex had been expanding incrementally, sucking in more and more chaotic elements.

It gave him the sensation of being a pawn on a chessboard, being wantonly played with by someone else.

"I’ll start it off then."

Yan Yu’an said, "The information about the Fusang Salvation Warrior Association’s personnel planning actions was obtained from a mole at customs. So far, the intelligence itself seems reliable; those Fusang Warriors indeed made a move, but their intentions are still unclear."

Ito Hidemi continued, "The head of the Special Service Section at Seaside District Police Station was away on a trip, so as the deputy head and the person most familiar with the National Salvation Warriors Association, I was assigned to patrol the streets and search for these samurais. There were no issues at first, but our Officer Logan from the station encountered Captain Wang and his men on the streets. Seeing their numbers and armed status, he mistook them for Fusang Warriors."

Wang Yunxiao nodded; there were no discrepancies up to this point. Now it was his turn to provide his report.

"I brought my men over yesterday to investigate the Shen Family’s situation. Additionally, we had a few girls accompanying us to visit a patient."

"What patient?"

"The patient staying in this hospital, as far as I know, is from a family that came from beyond the border."

"Relatives? Or friends?"

"You would have to ask our principal, it was him who sent them here."

"Can’t we just ask her directly?"

Wang Yunxiao thought, how can I ask Li Mumu directly when I don’t even know where she is right now? What can be found out from a mere Cypriot merchant?

"Not right now, we have to wait until dawn to ask."

"Is there a problem?"

"The contamination is quite severe, maybe her mental state might improve somewhat after dawn."

"Alright, let’s not talk about that for now, what’s going on with the Shen Family?"

Yan Yu’an didn’t get too hung up on these details. The most important thing right now was to check the facts and understand what exactly had happened.

"How did you guys come to investigate the Shen Family?"

Wang Yunxiao glanced at the two and asked in a low voice, "Do you know about the Shen Family acquiring the Imperial Jade Seal?"

Ito Hidemi and Yan Yu’an looked at each other and nodded.

For people at their level, this was no longer any kind of secret.

"Do you know why the Jade Seal was stolen back in the day?"

Both shook their heads simultaneously.

They were all young; who could clearly recount such aged matters if not those directly involved?

Wang Yunxiao then gave them a brief account of the background and consequences of the Swallow Sect’s heist of the Imperial Jade Seal back in the day.

The two of them were stunned.

"If you put it that way, I seem to have heard something about this before."

Yan Yu’an hesitated before speaking earnestly, "When that document was signed back in the day, the Imperial Court was concerned about public opinion and didn’t publicize it; the negotiation process was kept a secret. Later on, it was exposed by a local newspaper in Tianmen, which led to public uproar. At that time, everyone thought it was a maneuver orchestrated by the President, as almost all the newspapers and magazines in the North were inextricably linked to the Huaqing Society at that time."

"And Professor Shen Jianzhen at the time, being recognized as the leader of the New Cultural Movement, had always been regarded as the President’s henchman."

"So, what you’re saying is that Shen Jianzhen had practically nothing to do with the negotiations between the Imperial Court and the foreigners, and whatever he did back then could be considered to have been done under the President’s instructions?"

"If you think about it like that, there wouldn’t really be a problem. Even now, people still see him as a confidant of the President. So even though the Shen Family has been extending its reach further and further, nobody dares to openly question if there’s anything wrong. After all, as a confidant of the President, it’s only reasonable to benefit from the rise of the new government following its establishment." 𝗳𝚛𝚎𝚎𝘄𝕖𝕓𝕟𝕠𝚟𝚎𝕝.𝗰𝕠𝐦

Yan Yu’an said this and glanced at Wang Yunxiao, "After all, not everyone can be as noble and upright as Mr. Zhou Yaowen, who doesn’t even keep the position of Tianmen City Mayor and devotes himself entirely to teaching and educating."

"According to traditional customs, the various actions and methods of the Shen Family now are what normal people do."

Wang Yunxiao raised an eyebrow, "Even not immediately turning in the Imperial Jade Seal after obtaining it, and instead taking it out for auction, is that also normal behavior?"

"I have already inquired about this matter."

Ito Hidemi interjected, "The Shen Family had already called the authorities in the Capital the first moment they obtained the Jade Seal, passing on the message. As for putting it up for auction, that was Shen Qingxi’s own idea. She wanted to use this opportunity to organize a charity auction, with the proceeds donated to the victims of the recent disaster in Tianmen and the surrounding areas. What’s being auctioned is not the Jade Seal itself, but the donation rights to the Jade Seal."

"The Shen Family has been a trusted ally of the President from the beginning, and now with deep roots, they no longer need to ’present the Jade Seal’ to solidify their status. However, there is no shortage of people who have this aspiration and are willing to spend money to achieve it."
