"Mr. Hei mentioned before that you have a way to find out Zhong Suiru's whereabouts."

Min Ying stopped at that point, but the righteous look in his eyes could not hide the sneer of a bystander.

This kid is quite vindictive. Hei Huomian looked calm, and only raised his finger lazily.

Without a single word, the oppressive aura of the superior has been fully expressed.

Li You, who was standing nearby, understood what was going on. He cleared his throat and took a half step forward, seeming to be choosing his words. Half a minute later, he spoke:

"After investigation, we found that Zhong Suiru did escape under the cover and arrangement of certain forces. However, we have not yet obtained detailed information about the forces behind it, the purpose, and the specific location where she is hiding."

"Once the situation becomes clear, we will report it to Captain Min immediately. We may even be able to send him a gift that is even more generous than Zhong Suiru's."

Hei Huomian's eyes moved around Li You and then fell back on Min Ying, remaining patient and silent.

Min Ying also realized that he couldn't ask anything today, so he stood up and said goodbye, but he looked deeply in the direction of Bai Shuiru's bed before turning around and leaving.

As soon as Min Yingfu left the ward, he took out his cell phone and dialed the number to order:

"From now on, keep an eye on Hei Huomian and his assistant Li You for 24 hours."

In the ward, Hei Huomian followed Min Ying's gaze and also fixed his eyes on where Bai Shuiru was.

Hei Huomian sat down again, picked up the hot tea that the other party had brewed, opened the lid and smelled the tea fragrance, and ordered lightly: "Go ahead."

Li You took out the "Book of Life and Death" with both hands, placed it respectfully on the coffee table in front of Hei Huomian, and opened it to a certain page.

"As Black and White Impermanence reported just now, the relevant information on the Soul Arresting Order is indeed the same as the information on the Book of Life and Death."

Li You paused, considered his words, and continued to report slowly:

"However, the information in the Book of Life and Death, except for the surname, gender and age, which match Miss Bai's, the rest of the information is completely inconsistent."

"The Book of Life and Death can never go wrong."

Hei Huomian frowned and pointed his finger at the Book of Life and Death.

"Then, could it be that there is another woman with the same last name, gender and age as Bai Shuiru, who is also on the verge of life and death at the same time?"

Li You nodded and agreed:

"I had a flash of inspiration at the time, and I searched for the Soul Binding Order based on this idea. I did find a piece of information about the Soul Binding Order, which confirmed this matter."

As Li You spoke, he moved the Soul-Binding Order to a certain page and handed it to Hei Huomian.

Hei Huomian didn't even look at it, he raised his hand and pushed the tablet away, clenched his teeth, and his tone gradually became cold:

"Then why don't you ask the Director of the Immigration Department's Disciplinary Division to suspend Black and White Impermanence and investigate their crimes of dereliction of duty?!"

"Emperor of Hades, calm down."

"As the saying goes, 'Over-concern leads to confusion.'" Li You persuaded slowly and handed over the tablet computer again.

"Are you really not curious at all about who is the person who is on the verge of life and death at the same time as Miss Bai?"

Hei Huomian suppressed his anger and glanced at the other party, took the tablet and quickly browsed it, then put the computer on the coffee table.

"I only know: for others, life and death are determined by fate; for her, I am destiny."

"Emperor Ming, you are deeply in love with Shui Ru." Li You slowly followed his boss's heart.

Hei Huomian's breathing, which had just gradually calmed down, suddenly stagnated:

But why that person again?

Why was that person so deeply involved with Bai Shuiru? Even their lives were in danger at the same time?

Is it a coincidence or human error?

"I asked you to check Shui Ru's record in the Book of Life and Death. How do you think it is?"

Li You pursed his lips and responded slowly, gritted his teeth:

"After repeated searches, I have indeed not found any records about Miss Bai."

Hei Huomian heard this and shook his head slightly:

"After the soul-binding incident just now, don't you suspect that the disappearance of the little brush five years ago might be related to the matter we were investigating back then?"

"Emperor Ming, are you suspicious that Shui Ru's disappearance was just one of those events?!"

"Now that I think about it, the time when Xiao Maobi disappeared was too coincidental. They might have used her disappearance to disturb my mind and slow down the progress of the investigation. Maybe Xiao Maobi's disappearance is related to them."

If this is the case, then as long as I can confirm that Bai Shuiru is my little brush, I may be able to infer from her the real reason why she left me, and even the involvement of the forces behind her.

Hei Huomian stood up and glanced at his assistant, "Don't forget the deadline I gave you."

Li You stood straight, nodded seriously, and continued to report:

"I found a friend who tracked down several places based on the surveillance footage from the Exit and Entry Administration. We suspect that these are where the forces behind Zhong Suiru gather, or where she is hiding. We are currently sending people to monitor and confirm the situation."

"At the same time, we are also deploying and searching for those fugitives in the human world who are being pursued and hiding in the underworld. Once we confirm that the underworld is harboring those lawbreakers, we will immediately notify the human law enforcement agencies to launch a joint operation."

"During the past few days of surveillance, Bai Wuchang has a normal work and life. After work, he either has dinner with Hei Wuchang and other colleagues, or goes home to drink milk tea, eat takeout, and play games online with netizens in the underworld and the human world. He is no different from an ordinary, miserable office worker in the human world."

Li You shrugged and laughed at himself secretly:

Li You, ah Li You~, Wu Chang still has time for dinner and playing games.

What about you? Available 24 hours a day.

Hei Huomian glanced at him as if he had heard his inner thoughts:

"Your salary is comparable to that of the Ten Kings of Hell."

Li You nodded hurriedly and added some hot water to Hei Huomian's teacup.

Hei Huomian glanced at his assistant and said, "Why don't you usually remain as calm as you did just now when facing the Ten Kings of Hell?"

Li You's baby face immediately showed embarrassment and awkwardness, and he complained in a low voice:

"Emperor of the Underworld~, I am not you! My grandfather, my uncle, and my cousin are all standing in front of the palace. How can I stay calm?"

"You little thief pretending to be a pig but trying to eat the tiger, you came to me that year and said you didn't want to follow your family's arrangement and go the system route. In fact, didn't you just want to not stay stuck in the underworld forever? You also wanted to make more money and not be restricted by so many things?"

"Hehe, Boss, you really know me well."

"Go on." Hei Huomian quickly lowered his voice.

Li You cleared his throat and continued to report:

"According to my observation, Hei Wuchang should be in a passionate love affair. When she talks on the phone or WeChat, her tone and expression are sometimes sweet and sometimes angry. But no one has seen her getting close to Piao, nor has anyone seen Piao living with her. I guess she is either in an online relationship or a long-distance relationship."

"The only suspicious point is that the number cannot be traced, so for now we have not found out who the other party is in the Three Realms, and how could he use a number with a five-star search difficulty."

“Not many people can use five-star numbers.”

"Speaking of which, is Hei Wuchang serious about this 'big boss'?"

Li You looked up at the ceiling curiously and distressedly.

"After all, she has been working hard for more than 100,000 years to fulfill her family's mission of regaining the position of 'Black Impermanence'!"

"You're also telling Piao about my private affairs like this?"

Hei Huomian said this out of the blue, and Li You was so shocked that he immediately knelt on one knee and saluted, "I dare not! I really dare not!"

Hei Huomian cast a critical glance at his assistant, then came to Bai Shuiru's bedside, glanced at the sleeping girl, and scanned her pale face with pity, and ordered:

"You and the twelve secret guards stay here and tell me immediately if anything happens."

Hei Huomian's gaze remained fixed on Bai Shuiru's face for a long time before he forced himself to take two steps back and disappeared instantly.

The border between the underworld and the human world, the most remote, desolate, dark and depressing border area.

Everywhere you look, there is thick smoke, and from time to time, the roars of unknown monsters, either angry or fearful, can be heard from afar.

On the horizon, a tall figure in an inky tattered cloak came from afar and climbed up a rugged and steep cliff.

Hei Huomian took off the hood of his cloak and looked up at the edge of the inky black cliff, where a tree stood alone among the rocks, tall and straight, a hundred meters high.

The name of the tree, the cause and effect tree. It is formed by the entanglement of the spirits of the netherworld and the human world.

From the trunk to the branches, they are all grown by two twin trees spirally entwined. One tree has bark as black as old ink, representing the underworld; the other tree is as white as jade, representing the human world.

Although the tree has lush branches and leaves, there are only three or five flower buds the size of an adult man's fist on the whole tree.

The flower is named after the night-blooming cereus. It takes a thousand years to become a bud, and another ten thousand years to bloom, but the blooming period is only a moment.

Because the flowers of the night-blooming cereus will not fall unless they are prayed for. After withering, they will turn into fine particles and float away.

It is said that this place is dark and chaotic all day long because it is obscured by the tiny particles of the night-blooming cereus.

Black Fire Crane stood under the tree, clasped his hands together, closed his eyes and silently recited: Mu Xian prays sincerely, asking the gods of heaven and earth to give me a night-blooming cereus.
