My profession is too unique.

Chapter 44 Hunting Qi Chuan!

Seeing that Qi Chuan had almost finished eating, Su Chen waited a while before slowly walking in.

Qi Chuan shrugged, looked up, a flash of resentment in his eyes disappearing in an instant, replaced by a helpless bitter smile, "Brother Su... I've finally met you, why did it have to come to this?"

“I…” he sighed, “I was just unwilling to accept it. I couldn’t control Jiang He, so I thought of killing him back then.”

"After the accident, I wanted to find out what exactly happened that night."

He started by mentioning the origin of their contact, which seemed very sincere, and he also sincerely apologized for contacting Hu Xiang.

"It was only because I was jealous of your youth and handsome appearance that I harbored murderous intent towards you. I will never have any ill intentions towards you again."

"Is that all?" Su Chen's reaction was indifferent.

“Brother…” Qi Chuan said helplessly, “You should have checked my information. I’m just a live-in son-in-law. Jiang Rong keeps a tight rein on me, and I don’t have any extra income in the research department.”

"Who's behind you?" Su Chen asked bluntly.

"I..." Qi Chuan's eyes flickered, and he looked troubled. "Don't ask. It won't be good for anyone if you ask. I haven't contacted him since I came in. I'll stay here quietly for the next few days as an atonement."

"We're all on the same page, please give us a chance."

He added a subtle hint when he said his last sentence.

Su Chen stared at him; he was truly impressive, able to bend and stretch.

Last time, when he mentioned like-minded people, the other person almost lost control of his mind. This time, in order to dispel his wariness, he apologized and praised him, and in the end, he even took the initiative to bring up those four words.

"Jiang He has come to rescue you," Su Chen said with a touch of emotion. "He's upstairs."

Upstairs? Qi Chuan gritted his teeth inwardly, but forced a smile and said, "After all, we were husband and wife."

"If you sign this, you can leave the party." Su Chen took out the scroll.

Qi Chuan knew what it was, but he wasn't surprised. He sighed, "It should have been done long ago."

He looked very nonchalant. After taking it, he signed his name. The characters on the scroll flashed with a faint light, and then the entire scroll disintegrated.

Su Chen took it, turned around and left: "I'll let you go out after the party."

"I trust you, brother," Qi Chuan said gently. He wouldn't be staying for more than a few days anyway; he'd have to leave sooner or later.

Boom!

The cell door closed again, and Qi Chuan snorted inwardly, but suddenly felt a jolt in his heart, a faint stinging pain.

"What's going on..." He touched his heart, but the feeling quickly disappeared. The hunger in his stomach tormented him constantly, and every cell in his body was screaming.

"We can only hold on for a few more days at most."

However, to his surprise, only three or four hours later, around ten o'clock at night, Su Chen actually released him.

"I can walk now?" Qi Chuanyou was somewhat surprised.

"If you don't want to leave, you can stay." The guard said expressionlessly.

"Let's go, let's go." Qi Chuan was starving and wanted to retrieve his belongings from before he went to prison.

However, we were informed that the person in charge had already left work and we would have to wait until tomorrow morning to collect it.

"Forget it." Qi Chuan turned and left. The Ministry of Supervision was in the inner city, and it would only take three or four hours to walk back. Who knew what kind of trouble might arise by tomorrow morning?

Night had fallen, and at this hour, there were very few people on the streets.

"Why hasn't it taken effect yet? Is it because the dosage is too low?"

In the shadows in the distance, Su Chen, wearing a shadow-concealing suit and holding binoculars, trailed far behind Qi Chuan, but with a different face.

It was the mimicry mask that Yuan Chenyang gave him. He could use it to disguise himself when he went out, and it was also a high-level item.

[Mimetic Mask (Tier 1): Forged from the skin of a demon, it allows for simple alteration of physical appearance.]

"I wonder how far along the plan has progressed?" Qi Chuan subconsciously walked in the shadows, pondering to himself.

"I originally planned to plot slowly. With Jiang He dead, I gained Jiang Rong's support, and then, using the theft of the Sacred Word Stone as an excuse, I could take down Yuan Chenyang. Jiang Rong would then support Zhou Xian to take over as Minister of Supervision. After that, I only needed to wait another year... Unfortunately, things went wrong right from the start!" He couldn't help but feel angry. "How on earth did Su Chen appear out of nowhere!"

This guy has too many secrets. He doesn't believe that, as the outside world says, Yuan Chenyang has already taken Su Chen as his student and laid a trap for thousands of miles, infiltrating the city patrol team.

"...Damn it!"

The hunger in his stomach, the resentment in his heart, the cuckoldry on his head, and the subservient attitude he had just had to show to Su Chen all fueled Qi Chuan's anger.

"Sooner or later... Su Chen, Jiang He, I will make you wish you were never born..."

"Uh!"

Suddenly, Qi Chuan, whose expression was constantly changing, collapsed to the ground, struggling to breathe, experiencing excruciating heart pain, and green lines appeared on his arms.

"This is... Corpse Shadow Poison!" His pupils contracted. "When did I...?"

"An antidote!"

The sudden threat of death left Qi Chuan no time to think about anything else. He abruptly turned around and headed towards the outer city.

"Where is he going?" Su Chen asked in surprise, his eyes narrowing slightly as he quickly followed.

Qi Chuan was a second-tier professional, but after being starved for many days and suffering from severe poisoning, he was staggering and not very fast, so Su Chen could easily keep up.

Qi Chuan was pale and covered in cold sweat. He had been running for three or four hours before he reached the edge of the inner city, just a step away from the outer city.

Su Chen was afraid he would die halfway through, but he persevered.

Qi Chuan stopped in front of a dilapidated building, rushed to the top floor, and without even taking the key, forced open the door, kicking up dust and knocking over tables and chairs.

boom!
He pried open a section of the wall, took out a metal box, hurriedly verified his fingerprints, took out a glass bottle, and gulped it down his throat.

At this moment, the green veins had almost climbed up to his neck.

"Huff...huff...huff..." Qi Chuan gasped for breath, then collapsed onto the ground, his body convulsing uncontrollably, as if he had been snatched back from the jaws of death.

As soon as my highly tense nerves relaxed, I subconsciously started thinking about when I had been poisoned.

I've been staying in the Inspection Department for a while now and have hardly been in contact with anything outside, except... the Inspection Department's food!
Qi Chuan quickly sorted out his thoughts, his face turning extremely grim, and a name surfaced in his mind...

Suddenly, he felt a chill and turned his head to look.

A blurry shadow appeared from outside the door, its long, thin whip cracking with a sound that terrified him.

Before he could react, he suddenly felt a jolt in his head, as if a needle had pierced his temple, but he could still withstand this.

"who!"

He roared, and his eyes spewed out blazing flames that instantly expanded into a curtain of fire.

But it was too late. The whip's shadow tore through the fire curtain and landed on his head. Qi Chuan instinctively raised his hands, and blazing flames roared.

However, at the end of the whip, it transformed into thin threads, like a celestial maiden scattering flowers, and lashed down fiercely!
"Ah!" Qi Chuan screamed in agony as the thin metal wire, like a high-speed wire saw, pierced his arm, tearing flesh apart!

"A second-tier item? Who, who wants to kill me?!" Qi Chuan was terrified. His physical weakness had severely reduced his strength, leaving him with less than one-tenth of his former power.

"Su Chen, it must be him!" In a flash, Qi Chuan realized.

Poisoning, tracking, ambush—only Su Chen could pull it off.

"How could it be so insidious!" he thought in shock and anger, but it was too late.

Two wires, winding like venomous snakes, passed through the gaps in his arms and pierced straight into his eyes, stirring violently in his brain.

*Pfft!* A mixture of eyeball fragments and blood spurted out!

"Uh!"

His body stiffened, and Qi Chuan fell silent. The flames around his body gradually dissipated.
