Mu Shuang finished speaking but found herself at a loss for words.

As the "Fire Ghost King" of the Hundred Ghosts Gang, she had already touched the threshold of Unity of Heaven and Man, a Half-Step Extraordinary master.

As long as she didn’t encounter a true Extraordinary, she could stride across the Wasteland with few who could threaten her.

In her years of wandering the surrounding provinces, even masters of the same level had difficulty noticing her tracking.

But upon returning to Happiness City, she was toppled by an Intern Inspector, much to her embarrassment.

"He discovered you?"

Ding Yishan’s face gradually lost its furious expression, replaced with a touch of interest, as he lightly tapped his fingers on the tabletop:

"Did you get careless, or..."

"It couldn’t be carelessness." Mu Shuang shook her head decisively, "I didn’t even touch those four Embryo Realm individuals, stayed hidden the entire time. There’s no reason he would find me through them."

"That is indeed odd." Ding Yishan raised his eyebrows slightly.

"I tend to think he has completely transformed Zone B-7 into his territory, that Celestial Essence Community, more than four thousand people are now in unison with him, sweeping the streets from the ’Celestial Essence Mall’ at one end to the ’Market’ at the other, all his people. Anyone entering the area without him personally investigating, his underlings would still pass along the news."

"Emperor?" Ding Yishan couldn’t help but say, then chuckled.

The previous intense murderous intent had vanished, leaving only uncontainable curiosity.

"That wouldn’t be incorrect, feels more like a Ghost King than me, and below are his little ghosts."

Mu Shuang finished drying her hair, tossed the damp towel to Jiang Chuan, then added:

"By the way, if I weren’t uncomfortable with the place Jiang Chuan arranged for me to stay, having to reposition furniture and change the layout every time I go back, I wouldn’t have discovered the listening device behind the bed board."

"Then you should thank me, otherwise you’d be confined to the community."

Jiang Chuan rarely broke into a smile, with some teasing in his voice, "The community’s Long, whom I contacted later, is a good person, but his brother Er Long is quite crafty, he probably suggested this."

"No, I think it’s Inspector Cheng’s idea."

Mu Shuang shook her head, "I asked the Industrial Bureau about the listening device, it was a requisition from Sun Weicheng, spent 280 Contribution Points, willing to spend substantial resources for capturing a ’suspicious person’ like me."

Investigated so thoroughly?

Even tracing the origin of the listening device?

"So, what are you getting at now..." Jiang Chuan mulled over Mu Shuang’s words, realizing she wasn’t merely highlighting Inspector Cheng’s exceptional investigative skills.

"I want to be captured by him, but let me remind you, I’m not like you, accepting capture willingly."

Mu Shuang spoke, noticing the irrepressible smile on Jiang Chuan’s face and glaring sharply.

"You want to be captured, curious about Inspector Cheng’s interrogation skills?"

"Hmm, didn’t you mention last time Inspector Cheng asked irrelevant questions? I’m really curious, wondering what he might ask me to ascertain my identity."

Mu Shuang blinked, "Additionally, I want to challenge him, I’ll disguise myself as an Embryo Realm, curious about how he might capture me. His strategy for dealing with those little bugs was too elementary."

"Why so playful, now is not the time for games."

Jiang Chuan quickly shook his head, turning to Ding Yishan, "Sir, Inspector Cheng has been swamped lately. When I delivered books from Elder Zhang the other day, he squeezed time to meet me from the Mechanical Bureau."

"If Shuang messes up, causing Inspector Cheng to see her as intentionally troublesome, leaving a bad impression, future attempts to approach and protect him could be compromised."

"Hey, Jiang Chuan, you were captured, yet you don’t mention leaving a bad impression!" Mu Shuang clicked her tongue, hastily turning to Ding Yishan to explain, "Chief, I’m not messing around. I want to understand Inspector Cheng’s operational style in advance, since I’ll be accompanying and protecting him on missions later. If his investigative skills are genuinely strong, working together will be smoother, avoiding future chaos."

"There is some sense to what you say."

After pondering for a moment, Ding Yishan nodded slightly, "Alright, you can try, but follow the rules. If he truly senses something is amiss and attempts to capture you, you can try escaping to see how he employs strategies and methods to deal with it. But if he doesn’t regard you as a ’suspicious person’ and doesn’t plan on capturing you, don’t provoke him, don’t interrupt his work."

"Got it! Thanks, Chief!" Mu Shuang nodded immediately, a hint of smugness on her face.

"Also..." Ding Yishan’s gaze suddenly grew solemn, his tone serious, "Before identifying the backgrounds and origins of those four Embryo Realm masters, your primary task remains protecting Cheng Ye, priorities must be clear, understand?"

"Understood!" Mu Shuang set aside her smile and nodded solemnly.

She enjoys games, but she understood the current situation was critical, unknown masters infiltrating the Buffer Zone with their eyes on Cheng Ye, this must not be taken lightly.

Once Mu Shuang exited the room, the atmosphere in the office instantly became tense.

Connecting it to the killer organization mentioned at the conference, Ding Yishan immediately grabbed the Defense Communication device, finding Carl Dickinson’s number and dialed.

"Minister Carl, this is Ding Yishan," his voice carried urgency, "Just detected unknown masters infiltrating the Buffer Zone, consistently monitoring our Inspector. Regarding the personnel for protection mentioned earlier, you may need to arrange it ahead of time."
