Girl, you form the head.

Chapter 44 Don't touch my daughter!
Ruri-e-jin was dumbfounded.

How could he have eaten that thing?!

What...what is he trying to do?!

Watching Bai Chi diligently chew the pills, Liu Li Hui's mind was once again filled with the advertising slogan "Make your partner unable to get out of bed," and she immediately trembled, almost wanting to run away first.

Just as she placed her hand on the seatbelt buckle, ready to run away at the slightest sign of trouble, Bai Chi spoke up: "This medicine doesn't seem to be anything wrong with it."

Ruri was taken aback: "What do you mean there's nothing wrong with it?"

Bai Chi opened his phone, and the screen displayed news about a drug dispute involving Xintiandi Health Products Factory.

"This is……"

“It was a small news item that was suppressed,” Bai Chi said. “I saw it through internal police channels. The gist of it was that there was a problem with the drugs produced by this pharmaceutical company, which caused a large number of users to experience serious side effects.”

Ruri realized what was happening and exclaimed in shock, "So you're using your own body to test the drug?! Are you crazy?"

"There won't be any problems," Bai Chi said. "Isn't that what you're here for?"

"What do you mean, 'Isn't this my thing?' I can help you..." Halfway through her sentence, Ruri seemed to realize something, her pupils narrowed slightly, her body involuntarily shrank back, and her voice trembled slightly, "You...you don't really want to use my body to help you reduce the effects of the medicine, do you?"

"Yes," Bai Chi said, somewhat puzzled. "Is there a problem?"

Ruri was stunned.

Is there any other problem?! How dare you ask that?!

I treat you as a business partner, and you actually want to... well, wait a minute.

Ruri seemed to remember something and asked with slight suspicion, "You're not thinking of using fusion to get rid of the adverse reactions, are you?"

"if not?"

Ruri-e: "..."

Well, it seems she still doesn't understand incandescence enough.

Bai Chi indeed thought so. His fusion ability could remove most negative status effects, so if anything happened, he could simply fuse. It would be a waste not to use such a convenient ability.

"Even if you wanted to test it, you wouldn't need to test this kind of medicine," Ruri couldn't help but complain. "Who would tamper with this kind of medicine?"

Bai Chi shook his head: "It's hard to say. After all, we don't know what the problematic drug is, but it doesn't seem to be this one at all."

After saying that, Bai Chi stuffed the medicine bottle into his pocket. Liu Li Hui looked at him, hesitant to speak, wanting to say, "Can't you just throw that thing away? Keeping it is really scaring me," but she only thought it in her heart and didn't dare to say it out loud. She could only ask, "So what are you going to do now?"

Bai Chi glanced at his phone; there was still some time before he got off work.

“Let’s go find that lawyer the mayor recommended,” Bai Chi said. “Hopefully he can give me some clues.”

Following the address provided on Li Xin's business card, Bai Chi easily located Julin Law Firm. This firm is situated in the Shouxin District, in a prime location, practically worth its weight in gold. This superior location alone is enough to give a glimpse into the capabilities of Julin Law Firm's lawyers.

After informing the receptionist, Bai Chi quickly met the lawyer, Ju Lin, who was a meticulously dressed adult with gold-rimmed glasses, exuding an air of sophistication from head to toe.

After a brief greeting to Bai Chi, Ju Lin turned her gaze to Liu Li Hui, who was wearing a mask next to Bai Chi: "And who is this?"

“My assistant,” Bai Chi replied.

The new district is not like the Hanguang district; it's full of instruments that can detect unusual particles, even including the agency in the grove. In this situation, leaving Ruri alone outside is really not a good option; it's better to bring her along.

It's easy to explain; just say he's an assistant.

Bai Chi had also inquired and found that in the new district, it was perfectly normal for a police officer to be accompanied by one or two junior assistants from the Sacred Music Academy.

In Julin's eyes, this was just another normal occurrence, so he wisely refrained from asking further questions and instead invited Bai Chi and Liuli Hui to his office.

"I've already heard about your purpose from Mayor Li," Ju Lin said in a deep voice after returning to his office. "If you have any questions, just ask."

Ruri-e frowned slightly.

She wasn't sure if it was just her imagination, but although Julin seemed very polite on the surface, his tone was quite stiff, giving the impression that he didn't welcome them.

I wonder if Bai Chi feels the same way... Never mind.

“I’d like to know more about the New World Society,” Bai Chi said. “Mayor Li Xin mentioned that you used to work for them.”

“I’ve worked for many people and many companies,” Kiribayashi said. “The New World Society is just one of them; there’s nothing special about it.”

Bai Chi seemed thoughtful: "You mean drug trafficking, human trafficking, and cults aren't considered 'special'?"

"...I haven't heard of any of these things," Julin said without changing his expression. "Even if they were true, it has nothing to do with me. Officer Bai Chi, I'm just a lawyer."

Bai Chi nodded; he had only said it casually anyway: "Then let's talk about what you know, like the medical field. As far as I know, Attorney Ju has handled several medical malpractice cases for the New World Society, is that true?"

……

"Why do you insist on asking about the New World Society?" After school, Ju Feng couldn't help but ask Yan Le, who was planning to go home with her. "And don't you have to go to work today?"

"No need today." Yan Le touched the bank card in her pocket, wondering if it was possible that she was currently working.

“You’ve been acting weirder lately, and you won’t tell me anything,” Ju Feng said. “In this situation, you still want me to take you back to look through my dad’s files? Do you think that’s possible? If you don’t give me a definite reason, I definitely won’t help you.”

Seeing Ju Feng's words, Yan Le realized that she could no longer deceive him, so she bit her lip and made up her mind: "If you really want to know, then come with me."

Next, Yanle led Jufeng to the list of outstanding graduates of Shengle Academy.

Outstanding graduates of the Sacred Music Academy often foreshadow a bright and promising future, after all, they all meet a minimum standard—fifth-order special ability.

But Ju Feng didn't know why Yan Le had brought her here.

Yan Le slowly raised her hand, pointing to the youngest and most eye-catching photo of a girl on the wall, her tone hinting, "Did you notice this one?"

Ju Feng looked up and saw that the girl's name was Yan Yi.

Is your surname Yan?

Her pupils narrowed slightly: "Could she be...?"

“She is my older sister,” Yan Le said softly. “She is also the youngest fifth-order special user in the history of Sacred Music Academy.”

Next, Yanle told Jufeng about her relationship with her sister. This was the first time Yanle had told an outsider, not even Bai Chi knew about it.

Yan Le's older sister, Yan Yi, is four years older than her. She graduated just as Yan Le entered Sheng Le Academy, so very few people at the academy knew that Yan Le had such an outstanding older sister. But that's not the point. The point is that Yan Yi had an accident the year after her graduation. "You said your sister was in a car accident and is paralyzed in bed?" Ju Feng was shocked. "And since then, you've been taking care of her, which is why you need so much money… for medical expenses, right?"

Seeing Yan Le nod, Ju Feng felt even more heartbroken. She immediately made up her mind: "Then you don't need to pay me back!"

"Uh, no need for that, I'll still pay it back."

"No!" Ju Feng pressed Yan Le's shoulder, "Your sister is my sister, so consider this money as money I'm giving to my sister."

"This really isn't necessary... Can you please focus on the important things?" Yan Le sighed.

"The key point? What's the key point?" Ju Feng asked. "Does this have anything to do with the New World Society?"

Yan Le was silent for a moment, then said, "Do you know what my sister's special ability is?"

"I do not know."

Yan Le tiptoed and whispered a few words to Ju Feng, whose eyes widened instantly: "How could someone with such a powerful special ability get into a car accident?!"

“That’s the problem,” Yan Le said softly. “Not only did my sister get into a car accident, but she also lost her special abilities after the accident.”

"Lost your special ability?!" Ju Feng was even more shocked. "How is that possible? Can you really lose your special ability?!"

“I know it’s hard to believe, but it’s the truth,” Yan Le said. “After that, my sister’s special abilities disappeared. She was just an ordinary person who was paralyzed in bed…”

Although Yan Le's voice still sounded calm, Ju Feng could still detect a trace of unspeakable sadness in it, like an undercurrent surging beneath a calm lake, touching the softest part of her heart.

She didn't doubt that Yan Le was lying to her; in fact, if she could, she would have preferred that Yan Le was lying to her.

"So you think there's something fishy about that car accident... no, there's definitely something fishy about it." Ju Feng understood what Yan Le meant. "You think the New World Society was behind it?"

"I don't know." Yan Le shook her head, her expression complicated. "Because my sister is unwilling to tell me anything. She has always been very wary of that car accident and warned me not to investigate it."

"...So that means your sister knows who did it," Ju Feng said softly, "and the other party is not someone to be trifled with."

“Yes, but the more this is the case, the more I need to find the truth,” Yan Le said earnestly. “I will not let go of any place that is suspected.”

Yan Le's words were half true and half false. She concealed the fact that she was helping Bai Chi investigate, but she wasn't exactly lying either, because her sister Yan Yi was one of the... no, the biggest reason why she was willing to help Bai Chi.

She must find out the truth for her sister.

If she can't do it alone, then what about the Twin Knights' Fiery Fury?
Yan Le's mind flashed back to that flying kick.

Ju Feng understood Yan Le's meaning. After taking a deep breath, he made up his mind: "Okay, I'll take you to my dad's firm right now!"

……

"That's all I know about the New World Society." Inside the office, Kikkalin took a sip of his now-cold coffee. "Officer Shiro, is there anything you didn't understand?"

Bai Chi seemed thoughtful: "I understood what you said, but I'm still a little confused. According to your description, the New World Society is a law-abiding society that never oversteps its bounds, and their New World Pharmaceutical Factory is also just as law-abiding and disciplined, is that right?"

"Any questions?"

“Yes.” Bai Chi nodded. “If they are really as you say, then what is my purpose in coming here?”

Julin calmly said, "That's your own business, Officer Bai. Of course, I admit that New World Pharmaceuticals has indeed had some minor legal issues in certain aspects, but to be honest, this is almost the norm in any large company, and the New World Association is no exception. It doesn't mean anything serious."

Bai Chi stared at Ju Lin: "If that's really what you think, then there are only two possibilities. Either you're not competent enough, and the New World Society hasn't told you about its core business at all, or you're hiding something from me, or you're colluding with them."

Julin's expression remained unchanged, but his voice had become much colder: "Officer Bai, you need evidence to support your claims."

Having said all that, Bai Chi realized that the clue Li Xin had given him was actually not very useful. Ju Lin clearly knew something, but he didn't intend to cooperate.

It seems that Li Xin's influence is less than he imagined.

After a moment's thought, Bai Chi decided to make one last attempt: "Then could I see the files on those drug-related disputes involving the New World Society?"

“If you have official warrants, I am willing to cooperate with your investigation,” Julin said calmly. “But if not, I’m sorry, I cannot cooperate. Please understand, Officer Bai, as a lawyer, I need to protect my client’s privacy.”

Bai Chi nodded and didn't say anything more like "I am a policeman".

Moreover, his trip was not entirely fruitless; at least he learned that the Orange Grove was related to the New World Society.

Since I'm questioning you as a police officer and you're unwilling to answer, then go ahead and talk to me in my Rider form.

Bai Chi decided to come back that evening, so he got up to leave, but then he caught a glimpse of a group photo on Ju Lin's desk.

Then, before Kikyoshi could react, he picked up the photo and looked at the girl with Kikyoshi in the picture, lost in thought.

When Bai Chi picked up the photo, a hint of unease finally flashed across Ju Lin's face, but she quickly concealed it: "What's wrong, Officer Bai?"

"Is this your daughter?"

The reason he picked up the photo was because he found the girl in the photo somewhat familiar, and then he remembered that this was the one who was with Yan Le back then.

"Yes, what's the problem?"

There was no problem. Bai Chi just thought it looked familiar and asked about it casually.

But when I casually asked, I couldn't help but take a second look, since the system notification popped up again. This was the fusion material for another Dual Knight.

I wish I could merge with him.

Bai Chi thought this to himself, but he couldn't actually say it out loud, so he could only casually say, "Your daughter is quite cute."

Julin paused, taken aback.

My daughter...is she pretty cute?
That look, those words, combined with the girl who had been following Bai Chi, and the things the police officers in the new district loved to do... Ju Lin finally lost her composure, her expression changed drastically, and she immediately strode forward to snatch the photo back, shouting angrily, "If you have a problem, come at me! Don't mess with my daughter!"

"Dad, I'm home..."

Almost at the same time, Ju Feng pushed open the office door with Yan Le and overheard the entire conversation, which startled him.

Who's messing with me?

When she saw Bai Chi, some of her lost memories flooded back, and her face instantly turned pale: "You...you...how did you even find my house?! You still won't let me go?"

Orange Grove: "??????"
