In the chaotic space, three pillars of light grew from nothing, slowly looming from the darkness.

White Tiger, Vermilion Bird, Xuanwu...... Among the pillars of light symbolizing the four elephants, only the green dragon representing the east is missing, and the main pillar of light, which was supposed to present the image of Yin and Yang Taiji, is also dim at this time.

"About the matter of Director An, everyone must have been notified, right?"

A male voice was the first to sound from the pillar of light of the 'White Tiger', and it was none other than the director of the Western District of the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, Lan Jue.

"Tsk, I really didn't expect the chief of the bureau to be caught by them......" The voice of the director of the Southern District came from the crimson pillar of 'Suzaku' light. The crime of using the Blood Keystone without permission is not small...... Why would the Director-General make such a mistake? It's not like she ......."

"With the strategy of the chief of the bureau, she should have foreseen the current situation, and I believe that she must have her reasons for doing so." This time it was 'Xuanwu' who spoke.

"But now that her authority has been frozen, and her movement has been temporarily restricted, she can't even send us a message, and we have no way of knowing her thoughts......" Suzaku's voice was not worried. "In addition, I have received news that the regulatory committee has also begun to plot to seize power, which is obviously premeditated, and if we don't discuss countermeasures, I'm afraid it will ......."

"Hehe, don't worry, we're not going to be brought down that easily." Lan Jue smiled and said. "Even if Director An is not there, several of our elders in the upper echelons of the central government are not vegetarians, and it is impossible for the 'radicals' to kill us in one fell swoop."

"But then again, even if we have elders to mediate above, after all, the Minister of Security is not here, and we still have to do something if the other side will take the opportunity to do something in our bureau." "Xuanwu" calmly analyzed.

"Yes, even if the chief is not there, we must not sit idly by." Lan Jue put away the smile in his tone and said seriously. "Although the western, southern, and northern districts currently guarded by us seem to be calm, if the position of the chief security officer is really replaced by the 'radicals', then the next thing they have to do is to purge the personnel of the four major sub-bureaus and eradicate dissidents."

"That's right, you can see the situation in the Eastern District, it's just that Lou Yue is not alone, so he will make ...... Alas......" Suzaku sighed deeply. "Now those people are focused on seizing power, but they are blind to what they should really care about......"

"'Devour'......" Lan Jue lowered his head and whispered. I heard that the last time Qi Yu escorted the 'Blood Key Bracelet', he was attacked, although the official statement was that the overseas smuggling organization had bought off the insiders and planned to snatch it, and it was finally cracked, but I learned that there was actually another master at that time, and he once succeeded in grabbing the 'Blood Key Bracelet', but for some reason the other party gave up at the last moment......"

"Do you suspect that master is the one who 'devours'?" Suzaku asked.

"I can't say for sure, but I don't rule it out." Lan Jue said. "The people of the 'Devouring' organization are proficient in disguise and treacherous, which is in line with the circumstances of that crime, but if it is really 'Devouring' behind the scenes, as I guess, then the prey that is temporarily abandoned is not their usual style, unless ......"

"Unless, they have another plan." 'Xuanwu', who had been silent for a long time, suddenly spoke. "I agree with Lan Jue's opinion, there are too many things worth investigating in the process of the 'Blood Key Bracelet' from recovery to transportation, if 'Devouring' really has a foot in this, I think, their goal is probably far more than just seizing the 'Blood Key Bracelet'."

"If we want to have the strength to unravel the conspiracy of 'devouring', we must first get through this crisis from within the system." "Suzaku" rationally pulled the topic back. "Lan Jue, do you have a way to seek support from the military department?"

“……”

Contrary to Suzaku's expectations, Lan Jue was suddenly silent for a moment, and only slowly opened his mouth after a while.

"After the chief manager's accident, I have been trying to contact the military intelligence departments, but ......" Lan Jue's expression became a little complicated. In fact, I was aware of it before, and the situation on the side of the military department has long been different from what it used to be, and now it ...... My control over them is nowhere near as effective as it once was. ”

"Even the prestige of the Lan family can't suppress the military headquarters, ...... them?" Suzaku was surprised. "Is it because of the turmoil at the top of the military department a while ago?"

"No, I'm afraid...... And that's not all......" Lan Jue said thoughtfully, as if he wanted to stop talking, but he still didn't say anything after all.

"In fact, to deal with the current crisis, I am afraid that we still lack one person." "Xuanwu" smiled lightly, and reached out to gesture to the position of the absent "Green Dragon" on the side.

"Lou Yue...... Indeed, his strategy and courage are not inferior to the chief of the bureau, but he is now in prison, and I am afraid that he will not be able to protect himself......" Suzaku sighed softly.

"Xiao Yue's presence will indeed be beneficial to us, but let's not ignore it, there is another person who may be able to use it as a breakthrough." "Xuanwu" said unhurriedly.

"Don't sell it, who the hell is it?" Suzaku is obviously impatient.

"Qi Yu ......"

Lan Jue suddenly opened his mouth faintly.

"Qi Yu?? Isn't that man the one put in by the 'radicals'? And this time Director An's matter is also his ......"

"But he's a key player." Lan Jue interrupted Suzaku's words. "Whether it's the actions of the radicals, or the recovery and attack of the 'Bloodkey Bracelet', he is at the center of the turmoil, and no one has more detailed information than him. Besides, the radicals trust him very much, and even Qiu Li's forces are impressed with him......"

"But this person has been very low-key before, and his background is very hidden, and I heard that this person is determined and resolute, I'm afraid it won't be so easy to break through." Suzaku questioned.

"As long as it's an individual, there will be weaknesses." "Xuanwu" said calmly, and with a wave of his hand, he presented an electronic document in front of the other two. "This is the background information about Qi Yu that was secretly investigated by the Chief Security Bureau before, and I think it will be helpful to you."

"This ...... This is......!! Suzaku looked at the document and was speechless in surprise.

“…… If that's the case, then the situation becomes even more complicated......" Lan Yu whispered, staring at the document in front of him.

"I thought, I know what to do." ——

“…… Heh, you're welcome, it's my pleasure to help you. ”

A calm voice echoed over the simple and elegant office, and behind the name tag of "Minister of Military Intelligence I: Yang Xiao" on the desk, a middle-aged man seemed to be talking happily to the other end of the phone.

"Where, I just tried to investigate, but I didn't expect to really let me find out." Yang Xiao's tone was polite, but also dignified. "As the director of the Special Affairs Investigation Bureau, An Xi knowingly committed a crime, and now she has fallen into this kind of field, and she is also to blame."

Yang Xiao said, glancing at the investigation report on the table, which was urgently presented by the adjutant a few hours ago, and at the same time, it was also an important "bargaining chip" for Yang Xiao that was enough to change the situation. It's just that in his original plan, there should have been another "chip" presented here, through his only son Yang Yunyi.

"By the way, since An Xi has fallen, you shouldn't have any scruples about the disposal of 'that person', right?"

Yang Xiao retracted his gaze and quietly listened to the reply on the other end of the phone, the expression on his face suddenly flashed with a hint of surprise, but this was only a matter of a moment, and even the rhythm of his breathing did not change.

"Hehe, huh...... You're really fast. Yang Xiao's voice seemed to be laughing, but there was no expression on his face. If you have that person, you should be able to make the most of it......"

While he was on the phone, there was a sudden noise outside the office.

"He's not there?" I've got something to look for him!'

"Young Master, please calm down......

"Less nonsense! It must be inside! Let me in!'

……

Yang Xiao glanced at the door of the office and frowned slightly.

"I'm sorry, I have some business to deal with in my department, and I'll be in touch with you later. I wish us a happy cooperation. ”

As soon as he hung up the phone, the door of Yang Xiao's office was broken open with a "bang", and the two figures immediately rushed into the office, and it was Yang Yunyi who rushed in front of him with an angry face, and he was followed by Adjutant Xia with an apologetic face, obviously the latter failed to stop him.

"I said I would finish the task ahead of schedule! Why do you still refuse to let go of Ye Yu!? Yang Yunyi stared at his bloodshot eyes, ignoring Adjutant Xia's persuasion, and yelled at Yang Xiao. What the hell did you do to him!? ”

Yang Xiao's face gradually sank, but he didn't have an attack immediately, but stretched out his hand to signal to Adjutant Xia, who immediately understood, then turned around and left the office, and gently closed the door.

Yang Xiao stood up from behind his desk, slowly walked in front of Yang Yunyi, looked at Yang Yunyi's eyes full of anger, and then waved his hand without warning-

"Smack!"

After a resounding slap, a deep anthurium mark immediately appeared on Yang Yunyi's face.

"I see that your wings have grown stiff, and you dare to speak to me like this!" Yang Xiao glared at Yang Yunyi, and there was a very intimidating sense of oppression in his tiger-like eyes, but Yang Yunyi was not intimidated by this pressure, he looked back at the two sharp eyes in front of him unwaveringly, without the slightest intention of backing down.

"Please tell me, where is Ye Yu now?"

Word by word, it flowed out of Yang Yun's mouth clearly and firmly.

"Hmph, I don't know where, I only know that if it weren't for your poor mission, your friend surnamed Ye wouldn't have fallen into this situation." Yang Xiao stared at his son in front of him and said coldly.

"It's ...... What do you mean?! ”

"What do you mean? Hmph, this means that if you had gotten his flesh and blood samples earlier to assist in the experiments, the gang wouldn't have been so anxious to arrest him directly, knowing that their methods are not as merciful as ours. ”

A sneer curled up at the corner of Yang Xiao's mouth.

"The 'Destroyer' is ...... I'm afraid it's better to live than to die. (To be continued.) )
