My Job Is Quite Unique Chapter 85

Chapter 85 Yuan Chenyang Returns, Consecutive Shocks

“Nonsense.” Zhang Hongbo’s eyes surged with emotion, and he asked the last question, “If I hadn’t come, would you have taken them away, putting me in a difficult position, forced to protect you?”

“How could that be…” Zhang Feng immediately denied it, but before he could finish, his eyes rolled back, and he fell straight down, losing consciousness.

“Father…” Zhang Hengyu looked stunned, watching his second uncle fall.

“Father, what exactly is going on?” Zhang Yunqing asked urgently, a bad premonition rising in her heart.

“He… colluded with the Heretic God Cult.” Zhang Hongbo lowered his head, looking down at the body on the ground, his chest still rising and falling slightly.

“What?” Zhang Yunqing’s heart was violently shaken, and only then did she realize.

She had unconsciously excluded people related to Zhang Hongbo from suspicion before.

“Were they discovered by Yang Yan and the others?” Zhang Yunqing couldn’t help but ask.

“Worse…” Zhang Hongbo sighed, “He was discovered by Old Xia.”

Zhang Yunqing’s face paled, and she instantly felt chills emanating from the shadows around her.

“I am no longer the Nanfeng City Lord.” Zhang Hongbo added.

Zhang Yunqing wasn’t surprised at all, but Zhang Hengyu next to her muttered in a daze, “Father…”

Zhang Yunqing’s gaze swept over, seeing his still dazed expression, and a wave of anger at his lack of ambition rose in her heart, “You…”

“Hengyu…” Before she could finish, Zhang Hongbo interrupted her.

Zhang Hengyu looked up blankly, but saw a kind of never-before-seen paternal love on his father’s face, who said with relief, “You did well. A pure heart is not necessarily a bad thing.”

Me?

For some reason, Zhang Hengyu felt his eyes blur. It had been a long, long time since he had heard praise from his father’s mouth.

“Build a good relationship with Su Chen…” Zhang Hongbo couldn’t help but say, but then shook his head, “Forget it, just follow your heart.”

“Su Chen?” Zhang Hengyu felt dazed.

Seeing their blank expressions, Zhang Hongbo didn’t hide anything and said bluntly, “Su Chen is already Old Xia’s student.”

“He…” Zhang Yunqing paused, Su Chen’s face appearing before her eyes. She couldn’t help but say, “How could that be…”

“Flesh and spirit, both Crimson Gold.” Zhang Hongbo said concisely.

“Both, Crimson Gold!?” Zhang Yunqing was stunned, as if struck by lightning.

“Both Crimson Gold? No wonder…” Zhang Hengyu, however, had a dawning realization.

“Let’s stop here. There are still some loose ends to deal with.” He then looked at his younger brother, a flicker of unbearable sadness in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness.

“Don’t go anywhere, both of you.”

Watching his father leave, Zhang Yunqing was still a little incredulous, and after sitting on the sofa for a long time, she produced a wry smile.

Xia Hanshi’s student, indeed, carried a kind of curse-like implication, but he was ultimately the Chief Justice’s student.

In Nanfeng, he was still above everyone else!

“Quite decisive…”

In the shadows, Xia Hanshi’s figure disappeared.

………

Zhou Xian held his nose and found the hidden priest in the underground sewers. Seeing his miserable appearance, his heart was immediately startled:

“Priest, what happened? What’s wrong with you?”

“What’s the situation on your side?” The priest’s dark pupils stared at him chillingly.

Zhou Xian felt a lingering fear when he brought up the matter: “I first sent two people in to test, but things got a bit strange, so I didn’t dare to act. I watched from nearby for a few hours, and sure enough, I found Zhang Hongbo’s people showing up…”

“Luckily, I was cautious and didn’t act rashly, otherwise I would have been caught in a trap.”

“You’re quite clever, aren’t you?” The priest’s tone fluctuated.

“Then on your side…” Zhou Xian instinctively backed away a little.

“Not long after you left, Xia Hanshi came to the General Commercial Warehouse with Ying Feng’s people and Zhang Hongbo.” The priest said hoarsely, “They arrived in a hurry, and I wasn’t prepared at all. All my subordinates died in battle. I managed to escape with the power of the sacred statue.”

“They came looking for you?” Zhou Xian was shocked. “How could this happen? That place is absolutely secret. There must be an informant.”

“Yes, that’s what I thought too.” The priest nodded. “I was just about to ask you to help me analyze it.”

“Hmm… could it be that guy Zhang Feng?” Zhou Xian immediately put himself in the shoes of the character, pondering and shaking his head: “That’s not right. Although he’s a knower, he’s a believer, so he couldn’t have leaked it.”

“Then this is a bit troublesome. Everyone who knows about this matter is a believer, so it’s almost impossible for it to be leaked.”

“Wrong, there’s one more person who isn’t a believer.” The priest slowly stood up.

“Hmm…” Zhou Xian was slightly stunned, his face changing drastically, “You suspect me!?”

“Otherwise?” The priest counter-asked, “According to your own analysis, the only one who could have leaked it seems to be yourself.”

“It’s absolutely not me!” Zhou Xian said emphatically, then quickly explained, “I have no reason to do that, and even if I did, why would I come back? To court death?”

“I don’t know.” The priest shook his head. “But I’ve lost trust in you. You have only one path: become a believer, or… die.”

Unbeknownst to them, the surroundings had been enveloped by darkness, and even the stench had disappeared.

Zhou Xian’s face turned ashen, knowing he had no choice, and immediately said, “I am willing to become a believer of the Holy Lord.”

The priest’s movements paused slightly, and he couldn’t help but feel suspicious. Was it really not him?

“Come forward,” he called.

Zhou Xian took a deep breath, walked forward, and knelt before the priest, lowering his head. “…My Lord in the rift, Holy One of seven shackles, the Eye that peeks into human hearts…”

As the low incantation began, everything around him started to blur. Zhou Xian involuntarily looked up, and the priest had disappeared, replaced by a black vertical pupil.

“My Lord…” he cried out involuntarily, a fervent glint in his eyes. “Only now do I believe in My Lord, my myriad sins are hard to wash away.”

The priest didn’t care, but stared straight at him, “Zhou Xian, before believing in my Lord, did you leak the news about the General Commercial Warehouse?”

“No.” Zhou Xian still shook his head. “Although I didn’t recognize the greatness of My Lord at that time, I did not betray him.”

“It’s really not…” The priest suddenly became confused. He had been so sure it was Zhou Xian, but now that the other party had become a believer, he couldn’t be lying.

So who leaked the news?

The priest temporarily suppressed his doubts and looked at Zhou Xian: “Now we need to be more cautious in our actions. I’ve used some of the power of the sacred statue, and it’s difficult to summon the Holy Lord again. We need to replenish our strength…”

“The slum.” Zhou Xian immediately provided the answer. “The population there is dense, and management is lax. As long as we plan carefully and use the time difference, we can achieve our goal before Nanfeng discovers it.”

The priest nodded in satisfaction. Regardless, there were only two people who knew about it now, so it was safe after all.

………

[Wind Lightning Envoy: 15%]

[Psionist: 10%]

[E-grade Gale Body Forging Technique—Proficient: 60%]

[E-grade Void Star Meditation Technique—Beginner: 90%]

After glancing at the panel, Su Chen emerged from the gravity training room and went to the washroom to rinse off the sweat. Standing in front of the mirror, streams of azure wind surged from all over his body.

“The hurricane warrior, the advanced class of the Gale Hunter, is only a Tier 3 Intermediate, its strength is too low.” Su Chen’s thoughts wandered, this was information he had learned from Yang Yan.

“Even with the interference of the Abyssal God’s power, there might be higher promotion requirements, and it will definitely be more difficult than upgrading from advanced to top-tier. Ying Feng should have better professions; I’ll see if there are any alternatives then.”

In a short while, his body was refreshed and clean. His reflection in the mirror was even more robust. Su Chen looked at it with satisfaction, then cautiously switched to the “Heituo Cultist” state and sensed carefully.

“Why is that Heituo statue always moving?”

Since escaping from Old Xia’s hands, the coordinates of the Heituo statue had been constantly moving for the past few days, and each time it stopped for no more than half an hour.

“I can’t even notify Old Xia about this…” Su Chen was quite conflicted about this.

The first lock-on could be faked, but chasing the other party like a tracker was too much.

“According to Yang Yan and the others, the Heituo statue suffered considerable damage last time, and summoning Heituo definitely requires a fixed location. It should still be looking for a place now.”

“Just stop in one place, and I’ll have something to make up.” Su Chen complained inwardly, opened his wardrobe, and picked out a decent outfit.

It was only noon, but he had already finished his training, because Old Yuan was returning today.

Azure scales appeared on his skin and quickly covered his entire body, then he put on his outer shirt.

…

In the middle-level parking lot of the Supervision Department, a hovercar slowly stopped, and a solemn Yuan Chenyang stepped out. He looked up at the still magnificent building.

Although he had only been away for about two months, he was unsure if the Supervision Department was still loyal to him.

He had a deep understanding of Zhang Hongbo’s methods.

“I don’t know what the urgent matter is. Zhang Hongbo and the Envoy Ying Feng jointly issued an order for me to return.” Yuan Chenyang speculated in his heart.

All he knew was official information, only that the Exploration, Patrol, and Supervision departments were now acting together in the city, making a big splash.

“Minister?”

A patrol team member spotted Yuan Chenyang and called out in disbelief. Yuan Chenyang waved his hand and walked into the building.

“Minister…”

“Minister…”

The greetings along the way were endless, and Yuan Chenyang responded to them all, heading straight to the top floor.

And Sun Tai, sweating profusely, had just arrived at the parking lot. Hearing that the Minister had already gone up, he couldn’t help but sigh, “I wanted to tell him this good news personally.”

But then, he thought of Su Chen, and his expression subtly changed, “Forget it, let the Minister find out for himself.”

………

“You are all here?”

Yuan Chenyang didn’t even knock on the door, but pushed it open and walked straight into his former office, where he found Zhang Hongbo standing by the viewport, and Yang Yan and Gu Bing sitting on the sofa.

He immediately became vigilant, and a series of bad predictions appeared in his mind.

Emergency recall, standby, it didn’t look like a good thing. Before long, someone might walk in and seize him.

“You’re back. It must have been a rush on the road.” Zhang Hongbo turned around, a familiar gentle smile on his face.

“With your and the envoy’s joint emergency order, I dared not delay for a moment.” Yuan Chenyang maintained a businesslike demeanor: “What exactly is the matter?”

“You two, will you announce it?” Zhang Hongbo looked at Yang Yan and Gu Bing.
