The rumor that Leng Yanhua once blew up an entire floor seems absolutely true, as real as it can be.

After shopping, Tianmiao returned to the office in the evening, and Tuoba Wu and his team of three also came back.

"Did you find anything?" Tianmiao saw her employees sitting on the sofa waiting for her, and she asked, "Have you had dinner?"

"We have. Dong Xiao made it." Tuoba Wu nodded, "We had a seafood feast tonight."

"We’ve confirmed that who Hu Yiqiao is looking for is not a human; it’s a demon," Lin Duoduo said.

Tianmiao glanced at Mo Bai Ning, who said solemnly, "When we got there, the place was already empty, at least in the eyes of ordinary people. Actually, there was a hidden space in the room where the three detectives were trapped."

"At least they were locked in with food and drink. There was food, water, and a restroom inside," Lin Duoduo said, "They’re a bit mentally exhausted, but physically they’re okay."

"We released them so they could go home. But we told them this matter is related to demons, and advised them not to investigate further. The rest is up to us. They all took our business cards and said they’d thank us," Tuoba Wu said cheerfully, "I even specifically told them, if they send gifts, don’t forget to buy some candy or something."

"Impressive." Lin Duoduo rolled her eyes at Tuoba Wu.

"So, have you reached any conclusions?" Tianmiao asked.

"I think this demon isn’t inherently bad. Otherwise, why would it spare the detectives’ lives?" Lin Duoduo pondered aloud.

"Are there any good demons?" Tuoba Wu snorted, "I bet this demon is just afraid of causing human deaths and attracting the attention of Demon Exorcists."

"Why would it be afraid of attracting the attention of Demon Exorcists?" Tianmiao continued to ask.

"Obviously, it’s afraid of revealing its identity and losing the ability to continue lurking among humans," Tuoba Wu replied matter-of-factly.

"Why does it want to continue lurking among humans?" Tianmiao smiled and asked again.

Tuoba Wu paused, then frowned and started thinking deeply. Lin Duoduo also seemed lost in thought.

Mo Bai Ning looked at Tianmiao, wanting to say something, but ultimately held back.

"You should be able to track this demon easily. Why not bring it over tomorrow for questioning?" Tianmiao looked at the three of them, who had varied expressions, and finally said this.

"Sure, I will ask if it has any major conspiracy for lurking among humans!" Tuoba Wu clenched his fist.

Tianmiao looked at the enthusiastic Tuoba Wu and smiled silently. This young man still harbors bias against demons, but over time, he will mature and learn to see beyond the surface, feeling things deeply with his heart. This is a necessary path for him to eventually become the president of the Demon Extermination Association.

...

Early the next morning, Li Bielang came to deliver breakfast, but Mo Bai Ning and the others had already left.

"Hey? Where is everyone?" Li Bielang asked curiously.

"They took a commission and left early. Want to have breakfast together?" Tianmiao replied.

"No need, I’ll go back and have it with my sister. Tianmiao, my sister asked if you want to come over for lunch?"

"Of course!" Tianmiao agreed without hesitation.

"Alright, I’m going back then, see you at noon." Li Bielang waved.

At noon, Tianmiao enjoyed lunch at Leng Yanhua’s house and after thanking her, Kong Hou came to find her. She said Tuoba Wu and the team had brought the demon back and asked Tianmiao to go interrogate it.

Li Bielang was intrigued upon hearing it and asked Tianmiao if he could accompany her to listen in, and after Tianmiao agreed, he followed her to the neighboring courtyard.
