On the night of the water ghost disturbance, just as dawn broke, a message from Lv Yingyue arrived.

After receiving Ji Jue's reply, she directly informed him: [In a couple of days, someone should be going to Spring City. Just entertain them. No need to do much, just try to cooperate.]

A simple message, yet Ji Jue caught a whiff of something odd.

He didn't know how she was with others, but in her communications with Ji Jue, perhaps because of Ye Xian, Lv Yingyue rarely used such imperative sentences.

Even if there was something she needed Ji Jue to do, she would at least explain the context, not be so brief and direct.

Unless, in her view, this matter was involved with something that couldn't be known by others.

At the same time, she didn't want Ji Jue to ask too many questions.

To this, Ji Jue simply replied: [I will be ready.]

As if sensing that Ji Jue understood her meaning, the last message from Lv Yingyue carried a note of approval: [Very good].

In the following time, they didn't discuss this matter any further.

Until this morning, when a stranger's number called Ji Jue's private phone, informing him that someone introduced by Guardian Lv would arrive at three in the afternoon and courteously scheduled a time with him.

To this, Ji Jue naturally expressed his full cooperation.

Even though there were still five minutes to the agreed-upon time, someone was already waiting at the door.

Only, the appearance was beyond Ji Jue's expectations.

A man, about thirty-something, dressed like a programmer from the city, wearing a plaid shirt and work pants that clashed with the wilderness, a backpack slung over his shoulder.

He didn't look like a messenger, instead, more like a tourist from a big city.

"Mr. Ji, nice to meet you, long time admirer."

He introduced himself proactively, smiling: "My surname is Chen, Chen Haiqiu, just call me Little Chen."

"Too polite, Mr. Chen."

Ji Jue responded without hesitation, shaking hands: "Please come in, the resting place is ready, follow me."

To welcome this heavyweight guest of unknown origin, Ji Jue even expedited and accelerated the reconstruction of the New Spring Hotel, the guest room had been tidied up, and ensured there was no Hai Province specialty, twin pigtail fish.

Although not luxurious, clean and tidy was considered five-star in the wilderness.

"Too bad, I have a flight booked back to Central City from Tide City tonight, can't stay long." Chen Haiqiu waved his hand: "No big matters, no need for grand arrangements, just find a place to sit down will do."

With that, Ji Jue directly brought him into the Coastal Industry compound, to his own office.

Exchanging pleasantries along the way, while preparing tea, Ji Jue casually asked: "I don't think I've seen you in the Security Bureau?"

In the two major Central Cities, Cliff City and Tide City, the middle and upper echelons of the Security Bureau, Ji Jue had seen them all, at the very least had an impression.

But among them, there was no record of this guest in front of him.

Yet he was wearing a badge from the Tide City Security Bureau, which made Ji Jue a little wary.

"Mm, I belong to another department, also under Guardian Lv's dispatch, cooperated a lot with the Security Bureau. For outings, the Security Bureau's credentials are much more convenient."

Chen Haiqiu smiled as he took off his badge, but he didn't introduce his own affiliate agency, instead, after accepting the teacup from Ji Jue, politely took a sip and put it down.

Next, it was time to talk business.

"Please rest assured, this is not an inspection or examination, just to get an understanding of the situation, you can relax a bit."

Ji Jue immediately became more serious — after all, everyone knows, when people say that, usually the other party doesn't believe and there might be some trickery involved.

Seeing his words seemed to have backfired, Chen Haiqiu grinned helplessly, straightforwardly took out paper and pen, and said bluntly: "The main reason I came, is to handle a few matters.

First, could you please tell me in detail, what happened a few days ago? Mm, I'm referring to the specific events surrounding those Thousand Islands pirates attacking Xinquan."

To this, Ji Jue would naturally not conceal anything.

Although he omitted some unimportant parts, removed some unspeakable ones, and beautified his own heroic image and actions a bit, at least six out of ten parts were true.

Unexpectedly, Chen Haiqiu did not probe deeply into or question the details involving Desert Market and the Northern Realm, basically writing down what Ji Jue said.

Instead, he focused on repeated questions regarding the transcend's other attack, but Ji Jue had prepared recordings for that, so there wasn't much to hide.

After understanding the specific details and getting a copy of the related recording, he put down the paper and pen.

"Besides that, is there anything else you'd like to add?"

Chen Haiqiu placed his hands on the table, looked at Ji Jue, and suddenly smiled slightly.

"Ah?"

Ji Jue seemed surprised, "Is there something I didn't make clear?"

"Could you think about it carefully again?"

Chen Haiqiu patiently reminded, "Is there anything to testify, or other... what... remnants?"

"Oh, oh, oh, oh, you see how forgetful I am, when I get busy, I easily forget things."

Ji Jue slapped his forehead, appearing to have just remembered, pulled out a box from under the table, and slid it over: "At the time, someone from the An Family did indeed bring back something.
