Zone Zero: I'm invincible now that the heavenly fire has killed Nineveh!

“Your analysis makes a lot of sense.” Zhu Yuan nodded and said solemnly, “Then I will report the situation to the General Administration immediately and launch an investigation into Yuanjing Industry.”

It concerns the lives of hundreds of people; she cannot let it go unchecked.

"Zhu Yuan, wait a minute." Qingyi stopped the anxious Zhu Yuan and said in a deep voice, "What I just said was just a hypothetical situation. If Yuanjing Industry suddenly makes a major technological breakthrough, then it is not impossible to save tens of billions of yuan."

"Moreover, if what Su Chen said is true, then the municipal officials are highly suspicious. They have verified the demolition plan of Vision Industry."

"If we just report it to the General Administration like this, it's very likely that it will be ignored. Even if an investigation is launched, they might still issue a false security report."

New Ellito has its own unique circumstances; post-apocalyptic corporations are not something the police department can investigate at will.

Even if Vision Industries is not TOPS Financial Alliance, it cannot be brought down by some vague intelligence.

The police might open a case one minute, and then Yuanjing Industrial might start demolishing it the next, leaving no one to prove anything.

Zhu Yuan stopped and asked with a frown, "Senior, what should we do?"

“My opinion is to conduct an investigation first. If it’s not true, that would be best,” Qingyi said thoughtfully. “If it is, then we will have decisive evidence to make it impossible for Yuanjing Industry to deny it.”

“Okay, let’s do it this way!” Zhu Yuan nodded without hesitation: “Although the procedure is wrong, we can’t worry about that now.”

"Looks like I'll have to write a self-criticism again. I need to download the latest self-criticism format in advance." Qingyi began importing data into the storage unit.

"The area where Canvas Alley is located is blocked by a hole. We can't get the police's data when we conduct our own investigation, which is another problem."

Just as Zhu Yuan was about to take action, reality stopped her.

"What's so difficult about that? The one who tied the knot must untie it." The man in green shook his head and said, "The clue was provided by Su Chen. Just ask him for help. He also has his own rope-making resources."

“That’s certainly a good idea, but let’s ask for his opinion first.” Zhu Yuan nodded and sent a message to Su Chen.

Zhu Yuan: Su Chen, due to some special reasons, we can't report to the General Administration immediately. We need to find evidence privately first before we can bring down Yuanjing Industry. So, please help me, I need your assistance. The reward will definitely be substantial; you'll get all the bonuses the bureau gives you.

Su Chen: Huh?

He originally intended to pass the matter on to the police department, so how did he end up bringing it back to him?

Zhu Yuan: If you can't get away right now, then I'll think of another way.

Su Chen: No, I have time. Let's investigate together.

If he were to go alone, he would feel like a kitten trying to eat a turtle—completely at a loss for where to begin.

But if he has friends with him, he can play the role of Sherlock Holmes and earn some extra money.

Zhu Yuan: Where are you now? I'll drive over to pick you up. By the way, do you have a reliable rope maker? Because it's a solo operation, I can't get any kickbacks from the bureau.

Su Chen: Hmm... Come pick me up at the Cunning Rabbit House Omnipotent Agency.

He only knew two rope craftsmen: the adorable and eccentric Lingmei, and his sickly but strong-willed brother-in-law.

Rin should be willing to help with this.

However, in order not to reveal Suzu's information, we need to bring Ies over first.

Zhu Yuan estimated the distance and typed: I'll be there in twenty minutes.

Inside the cunning rabbit's house.

Nicole asked Su Chen, "Who were you talking to just now?"

“It’s Sheriff Zhu Yuan. She has a case that requires my assistance.” Su Chen said casually, “Want to come along? I feel that the joint operation between the Rabbit House and the sheriff is quite promising.”

"No, no! If you can handle it, you can go by yourself."

Nicole shook her head like a rattle-drum.

Even though she had met Zhu Yuan a few times, she didn't want to get involved with the sheriff. If any underhanded secrets were exposed, she would be in deep trouble.

Su Chen nodded: "Okay, then wait for my good news. I might get you a big job later."

Nicole: "Keep it up, I'm waiting for your good news!"

Su Chen nodded and prepared to go out to find Ling.

The "big job" he was referring to was, of course, representing the people of Canvas Lane in court.

"Don't let the good stuff go to outsiders." Since I've gotten involved in this mission to personally rescue the people in Canvas Lane, I should naturally take all the benefits I can.

Baal wanted to come along, but Su Chen didn't hesitate to leave her behind. He still needed to carry another Ies later, and carrying Baal would make him look a bit bulky.

Moreover, Bal has plenty of time to hug, but the opportunity to hug Ies is much rarer.

Before long, Su Chen arrived at the video store and explained the situation. Ling and Zhe immediately nodded in agreement.

Both siblings were kind people and naturally could not tolerate the cruel actions of Vision Company.

Although cooperating with the sheriff is somewhat risky, with Su Chen protecting them, it's still within an acceptable range.

So, Su Chen quickly stood at the door of the rabbit house with Ies in his arms, waiting for Zhu Yuan and Qingyi to arrive.

At this moment, Lingmei had already taken over Ies's body: "I didn't know you had such a kind heart?"

"Heh, isn't that only natural?" Su Chen curled his lip. "I'm a legendary eel man."

"Tch." Ies scoffed, then asked, "By the way, why did you go alone? Why didn't you bring Nicole and the others to help?"

“I can handle it by myself, and Nicole feels a little uncomfortable being with the sheriff,” Su Chen explained.

"I don't feel comfortable being with the sheriff either, what do you suggest we do?"

Ling was also a little apprehensive about cooperating with the sheriff.

After all, the sign offering a reward for reporting rope makers is still hanging in the lobby of the police station.

"Bear it."

Su Chen said calmly.

To be honest, he couldn't see anything wrong with Bell interacting with the sheriff. In the story, this little guy often plays with self-destructing trucks, revealing his identity in a very cheerful way.

"You, Su Chen, you value romance over friendship!" Ling said indignantly, "You tolerate Nicole's discomfort, but you tell me to put up with it when I'm uncomfortable. Don't you remember who you played video games with?"

"Of course I remember. You played snake against snake all day, and your total score didn't even match my score in a single game," Su Chen recalled.

He played for ten minutes and reached a score of 100 million. It wasn't that he couldn't continue, it was just that he didn't want to continue.

Even after playing the bell all day, it seems the total score is less than 100 million.

"Damn it, wait till this is over, I'll bite you to death!"

The bell made my teeth itch.

"Biting is fine, but it's best to bite them separately."

Su Chen said jokingly.

"You dare to drive, Su Chen!"

Bell manipulated Ies's small fist, repeatedly pounding it into Su Chen's chest.

Meanwhile, Tetsuya, inside the video store, looked at his angry sister, completely bewildered.

Did Su Chen drive?

How come he didn't notice?

It turns out that without realizing it, my sister has become incredibly filthy.

Just as Ies was struggling in Su Chen's arms, a police car drifted around a corner and stopped gracefully beside them.

Qingyi leaned out of the car window and said with a light laugh, "Su Chen, we haven't even dealt with the major case of Yuanjing yet, but we have to deal with your small case of kidnapping Bangbu first."
