My profession is too unique.

Chapter 85 Yuan Chenyang's Return Brings a Series of Shocks
"Nonsense." Zhang Hongbo's eyes churned with emotion as he asked the final question, "If I hadn't come, would you have taken them away, forcing me to protect you out of fear of harming them?"

"How could that be..." Zhang Feng immediately denied it, but before he could finish speaking, his eyes rolled back, and he fell straight down without making a sound.

“Father…” Zhang Hengyu stared blankly as his second uncle collapsed.

"Father, what exactly is going on?" Zhang Yunqing asked urgently, a bad feeling creeping into his heart.

“He…colluded with the cult of the Deceptive Gods.” Zhang Hongbo lowered his head, looking down at the body on the ground, his chest still rising and falling slightly.

"What?" Zhang Yunqing was shocked and suddenly realized.

I had subconsciously excluded people associated with Zhang Hongbo from the list of suspects.

"Did Yang Yan and the others find out?" Zhang Yunqing couldn't help but ask.

“Even worse…” Zhang Hongbo sighed, “It was discovered by Elder Xia.”

Zhang Yunqing's face turned pale, and she suddenly felt a chill emanating from the shadows around her.

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

Zhang Yunqing showed no surprise, but Zhang Hengyu, standing beside her, murmured in shock, "Father..."

Zhang Yunqing's gaze swept over, and seeing that his expression remained blank, she was immediately filled with exasperated anger, "You..."

"Hengyu..." Before he could finish speaking, Zhang Hongbo interrupted him.

Zhang Hengyu looked up blankly, but saw a kind of loving expression he had never seen before on his father's face. With relief, the father said, "You did well. Sincerity is not necessarily a bad thing."

I?
For some reason, Zhang Hengyu felt his vision blurring. It had been a very long time since he had heard praise from his father.

“Make a good relationship with Su Chen…” Zhang Hongbo couldn’t help but say, but then shook his head: “Forget it, just do what you want.”

"Su Chen?" Zhang Hengyu felt dazed.

Seeing the two looking blank, Zhang Hongbo didn't hide anything and said bluntly, "Su Chen is already Professor Xia's student."

“He…” Zhang Yunqing paused, Su Chen’s face flashing before her eyes, and she couldn’t help but say, “How could this be…”

"Body, spirit, and dual red gold," Zhang Hongbo said succinctly.

"Double, crimson gold!?" Zhang Yunqing stared in disbelief, as if struck by lightning.

“Double red gold? No wonder…” Zhang Hengyu suddenly realized.

"Let's stop here for now. There are still some loose ends to take care of." He glanced at his younger brother, a hint of reluctance in his eyes, but it was quickly replaced by coldness.

"None of you should go anywhere."

Watching his father leave, Zhang Yunqing was still somewhat bewildered. He sat on the sofa for a long time before finally letting out a bitter smile.

Xia Hanshi's students do indeed carry a certain curse-like connotation, but they are ultimately the judge's students.

Even in the south, he still reigns supreme over everyone!

"That's decisive enough..."

Xia Hanshi's figure disappeared into the shadows.

.........

Zhou Xian pinched his nose and found the priest hiding in the underground sewers. Seeing his miserable appearance, he was immediately shocked:
"Priest, what happened? What's wrong with you?"

"What's the situation on your end?" The priest stared at him coldly with his dark pupils.

Mentioning the incident, Zhou Xian felt a lingering fear: "I first sent two people in to probe, but things got a bit strange, so I didn't dare to make a move. I kept watch nearby for several hours, and sure enough, I spotted Zhang Hongbo's men..."

"Luckily, I was cautious and didn't act rashly, otherwise I would have been caught in a trap."

"You're really smart," the priest said, his tone tinged with amusement.

“Then what about you…” Zhou Xian subconsciously took a step back.

"Shortly after you left, Xia Hanshi arrived at the General Warehouse of Commerce with Ying Feng's men and Zhang Hongbo," the priest said hoarsely. "They came in a hurry, and I was unprepared. All my men were killed in battle, and I only managed to escape by relying on the power of the holy statue."

"They came to our door?" Zhou Xian exclaimed in shock. "How could this be? That place is top secret. There must be an insider who leaked it."

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

“Hmm… Could it be Zhang Feng?” Zhou Xian immediately put himself in the role, pondered and shook his head: “That’s not quite right. Although he knows the truth, he is a believer and would not leak it.”

"That's a bit troublesome. Those who know about this matter are all believers, so it's almost impossible for them to leak it."

“Wrong, there is another person who is not a believer.” The priest slowly rose to his feet.

"Hmm..." Zhou Xianwei was stunned, his expression changing drastically. "You suspect me!?"

"Otherwise what?" the priest retorted. "According to your own analysis, the only one who could possibly have leaked this information is yourself."

“It was definitely not me!” Zhou Xian said firmly, then quickly explained, “I have no reason to do that, and even if I did, why would I come back? To seek my own death?”

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

Before they knew it, darkness had enveloped them, and even the stench had vanished.

Zhou Xian's face turned ashen. Knowing he had no other choice, he immediately said, "I am willing to become a follower of the Holy Lord."

The priest paused slightly, a hint of doubt creeping into his mind. Could it really not be him?

“Come forward,” he called.

Zhou Xian took a deep breath, stepped forward, and knelt before the priest, head bowed. "...My lord within the rift, the saint of seven shackles, the eye that sees into the human heart..."

As the lyrics were chanted softly, everything around him began to blur. Zhou Xian involuntarily raised his head. The priest had disappeared, and in his place was a black vertical pupil.

“My Lord…” he cried out involuntarily, a fanatical glint in his eyes, “I have only come to believe in my Lord today, and my sins are beyond redemption.”

The priest didn't care, but stared straight at him. "Zhou Xian, before we believed in our Lord, it was you who leaked the information about the General Treasury of Commerce."

“No.” Zhou Xian shook his head again. “Although I didn’t realize the greatness of my lord at the time, I did not betray him.”

“It really isn’t…” The priest was momentarily bewildered. He had been certain it was Zhou Xian, but now that the other party had become a believer, it was impossible for him to lie.

So who exactly leaked the information?

The priest suppressed his doubts for the moment and looked at Zhou Xian: "We need to be more cautious now. I've used up some of the Holy Icon's power, and it's difficult to summon the Holy Lord again. We need to replenish our power..."

"The refugee area," Zhou Xian answered immediately. "It's densely populated and loosely managed. With careful planning and a time difference, we can complete the objective before Nanfeng discovers it."

The priest nodded in satisfaction. In any case, now only two people knew the truth, so they were safe.

After glancing at the panel, Su Chen emerged from the gravity chamber, went to the washroom to rinse off the sweat, and stood in front of the mirror, a blue aura emanating from all parts of his body.

"The Hurricane Warrior, the upper-tier class of Gale Hunter, is only a mid-tier 3rd rank, which is too weak." Su Chen's thoughts wandered; this was information he had obtained from Yang Yan.

"Even if we use the power of the Deceptive God to interfere, the difficulty will definitely be higher than the top level of the promotion requirements. Ying Feng should have a better job. We'll see if there are any alternatives when the time comes."

Before long, his body was refreshed and clean, and his body in the mirror looked even more muscular. Su Chen looked at himself with satisfaction for a few moments, then carefully switched to the "Black Tuo Believer" state to perceive his surroundings.

"Why is that black statue constantly moving?"

Since escaping from Lao Xia, the coordinates of the Black Pot statue have been constantly shifting, with each stop lasting no more than half an hour.

"There's no way to notify Lao Xia either..." Su Chen was quite conflicted about this.

The first lock-on might be fooled, but it's like having a tracker installed, chasing after the other party, which is going too far.

"According to Yang Yan and the others, the Black Tuo statue suffered considerable damage last time, and summoning the Black Tuo definitely requires a fixed location, so they are probably still looking for a place."

"Let's stop somewhere quickly so I can start rambling," Su Chen thought to himself, opening the wardrobe and picking out a decent outfit.

He finished his workout at noon because Lao Yuan was back today.

Blue scales move across the surface of its skin, quickly covering its entire body, and then an outer lining is placed on top of it.

……

In the mid-level parking lot of the Ministry of Supervision, a hovercar slowly came to a stop. Yuan Chenyang, with a solemn expression, stepped out and looked up at the still magnificent building.

Although he had only been away for about two months, he was unsure whether the current supervisory department was still loyal to him.

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

"I wonder what urgent matter it is that Zhang Hongbo and Special Envoy Ying Feng jointly issued a document asking me to come back," Yuan Chenyang wondered to himself.

All he knew was official information; he only knew that the three departments of exploration, city patrol, and surveillance were now operating jointly in the city, making quite a stir.

"minister?"

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

"minister…"

"minister…"

He was greeted by voices along the way, and Yuan Chenyang responded to each one, heading straight for the top floor.

Sweating profusely, Sun Tai arrived at the parking lot and, upon hearing that the minister had already gone upstairs, sighed, "I wanted to personally tell him this good news first."

But then, thinking of Su Chen, his expression changed slightly. "Never mind, let the minister find out for himself."

.........

Are you all here?

Yuan Chenyang didn't knock and went straight into his former office, where he found Zhang Hongbo standing in front of the porthole, and Yang Yan and Gu Bing sitting on the sofa.

He immediately became wary, and a series of bad predictions surfaced in his mind.

An emergency recall and being on high alert—it doesn't look like a good thing at all. There's a chance someone might walk in and restrain you in a minute.

"You're back. You must have been in a rush on the way." Zhang Hongbo turned around, a familiar, gentle smile on his face.

"I dare not delay the slightest bit regarding your joint emergency deployment order with the special envoy." Yuan Chenyang spoke in a businesslike manner: "What exactly is it?"

"You two, shall we make the announcement?" Zhang Hongbo asked Yang Yan and Gu Bing.
