Watching Pei Yan suddenly leap seven or eight floors high and then fall back down repeatedly, as if playing on a trampoline, Wang Wenze was dumbfounded, "This definitely isn't Pei Yan!"

The ability to perform such an action wasn't worth his reaction; many present, including Pei Yan himself, could do it, but only in a mechanical state. Currently, Pei Yan was entirely in a physical state.

The crowd watched numbly as Lin Junzhao made Pei Yan perform various extraordinary warm-up exercises in the arena. Jiang Feiyang leaned against the corridor railing, somewhat relaxed, "Why is that woman doing so many exercises with Pei Yan's body? Is she planning a hook-up tonight?"

"Alright, be content! I'd be thrilled if he exercised all day here!" Ye Jiumu said, sticking a cigarette in his mouth. But before he could light it, he froze on the spot, the cigarette slipping from his lips.

The moment before he spoke, Pei Yan, who was in the center of the square exercising, vanished...

"Damn!" Ye Jiumu and the others cursed in unison.

"Where did he go? Is it invisibility? Or teleportation!" Ye Ruozai shouted as he flipped and jumped down the stairs.

Zheng Jia Ru, who landed with him, looked at the instrument in his hands and replied, "It shouldn't be invisibility! No signal source installed in his body was detected within the investigation hall!"

"Check it, find out Pei Yan's latest location immediately!" As he spoke, they leaped to where Pei Yan had disappeared and looked around at the empty square with a sharp exclamation.

Ten minutes later, Zheng Jia Ru, who was continuously tracking, received a report from the technical department and looked up to report excitedly, "Found him!"

Twenty minutes later, in an old street in a third-tier city in the south, the team members in the car looked at the familiar scenery by the street with some daze. Although it was late autumn, the weather in the south was still hot and humid. Wang Wenze fanned himself with a hat and muttered, "Old Zheng, are you sure you didn't make a mistake?"

It wasn't surprising that he felt strange. The scene was too familiar, almost every investigator's first mission was in this place. Wang Wenze, Ye Jiumu, and Jiang Feiyang exchanged glances; they were more familiar with this place, having taken turns watching it for more than half a year.

This city, this street was where Wang Wenze brought Pei Yan to execute a surveillance mission for the first time!

"If there's no mistake, wouldn't you know by looking up?"

Upon hearing Zheng Jia Ru's helpless response, Wang Wenze looked up and through the car window, he happened to see Pei Yan, who had changed into fresh clothes at some point, striding into a roadside mahjong parlor!

"What should we do?" Ye Jiumu sighed and asked.

"What can we do? Finding him is what's good. Isn't there a ready-made surveillance point nearby? Go there. Old Zheng, report the situation here to the hall! Xiaowang, Jiumu, you stay in the car for close surveillance, I'll send someone to replace you later!" Ye Ruozai made a decision.

"Alright!" The people in the car responded in unison.

Qiu Shaomin looked blankly at the investigators in front of her. As a new member of the investigation hall, her first task was also to monitor someone living here. Due to a shortage of personnel at the hall, the one-on-one training principle was not implemented. After her team leader brought her and gave her the task flow, she was left there.

Having already watched for five days, believing it to be a boring assignment, she had just received a call from the hall saying someone would take over her job. Not long after, this group appeared before her.

Seeing Ye Ruozai with his warm and gentle face, Qiu Shaomin felt her heart flutter. Hearing each person introduce themselves, she was even more shocked. Although she hadn't been in the hall for long, she had heard about these people, who were famed among the young elites, more so than even the senior high-ups in the hall.

"Qiu Shaomin, Qiu Shaomin!" Summer's voice called, bringing Qiu Shaomin back from her daze.

"Ah, ah I'm here!" Qiu Shaomin, still a bit flustered, responded woodenly. She still didn't understand why these elite members had come here.

Ignoring her daze, Shangxing quickly came to the bed and looked out through the window's gap. First, he glanced at the mahjong parlor, then at the business vehicle parked by the roadside, seeing Wang Wenze leaning against the car window sipping a cold drink, giving a thumbs-up gesture. He turned back to ask, "In these two days, has anything unusual occurred here?"

"Ah! Ah! Well, the monitored individual is from the Daoist Plane, male by day named Shi Jinglun, female by night named Yu Meiren." Qiu Shaomin replied almost robotically to the question.

Inside, everyone shook their heads; these basic facts didn't need her to state them. Ye Ruozai, not showing any discontent, patted her shoulder comfortingly, "Don't be nervous, we know all this. Just tell me if there was anything unusual during your watch these days?"

"No, nothing unusual! In the male state, he eats, drinks, and plays cards every day. In the female state..." Speaking of which, Qiu Shaomin's face turned red, and her voice became smaller.

"Alright, alright, we know that part. Think if there's anything else unusual, like any strangers he's met?" Jiang Feiyang, behind Ye Ruozai, who was continuously fanning himself, interjected to ease her embarrassment, knowing full well what the young lady was shy about.

Upon Jiang Feiyang's reminder, Qiu Shaomin lowered her head in thought. After a moment, she suddenly looked up and said, "Two days ago, a stranger met him for drinks. Every evening, he goes to a Sichuan restaurant by the roadside to eat alone and comes back drunk. Only that day, he went with someone else."

The group exchanged looks and nodded. Ye Ruozai looked at the girl appreciatively, "You've done well. Can you get us the surveillance footage from two days ago?"

"Sure, no problem!" Encouraged, Qiu Shaomin quickly sat down at the surveillance station and began pulling up the footage.

Jiang Feiyang sat on the couch behind him, looking at the full-screen of monitors and joked, "The equipment here; it's from after Wang Wenze and Pei Yan carried out the mission that Pei Yan upgraded it, haha. Who would have thought, karma, it's now used to monitor him!"

"Jiang Feiyang!" Shangxing, still at the window monitoring outside, turned and sharply rebuked him. Jiang Feiyang quickly shut his mouth, realizing he had slipped.

Before long, Qiu Shaomin had pulled up the video footage from that night. The crowd gathered to watch as the screen showed someone all in black with a duckbill cap, accompanying Shi Jinglun in his male state into the Sichuan restaurant. An hour and a half later, the same person was seen helping the staggering, drunk Shi Jinglun out of the restaurant.

"Judging by the build, it's likely a man. I'd be hard-pressed to believe this guy isn't shady, wearing so much in such hot weather, covering himself so tightly and pressing his hat so low. Cops would nab him in a heartbeat just seeing him stroll down the street!" Jiang Feiyang leaned against the wall, eyeing the man on the screen, and quipped.
