He frowned. Lu Buxiu knew about this place, but he also knew that there was nothing urgent not to come.

His instincts told him that this kid might bring important information.

So he put down his pen, closed the door, and went downstairs.

Lu Buxiu hurriedly ran in from the yard, and he didn't care about stepping on the wet mud. Seeing Li Qingyan appear at the door, he hurriedly lowered his voice: "Brother Yan, Brother Yan, I have a letter-"

But when he saw Li Qingyan's eyes again, he quickly paused on the insole at the door and rubbed the soles of his feet before going inside again: "Brother Yan, serious is really not a thing!"

Serious students are Li Qingyan's "upline" in the promotion association. He had told Black Widow about it, and star fruit had heard it. What he said was true.

As a non-governmental organization, the Promotion Association has a board of directors headquartered in Kitayama City, and most of its affairs are handled by the "chairman" whom everyone has barely met. There are several ministries under it, including the "Operations Department". Under the Operations Department, there are "Action Offices" in various places, and Zheng Sheng is the director of the Operations Department of Beishan City.

The Association for the Promotion of Peace and Prosperity between Humans and Demons was a legal civil society before, but it became less legitimate after some radicals began to try to achieve their goals by violent means a decade ago.

The association was divided into two factions. Moderates are still trying to reach out to the authorities, to be a bridge between humans and demons — at least they feel so. The radicals, on the other hand, are going farther and farther down the other path, and the serious students are a staunch part of it.

Li Qingyan lurked into the Promotion Association for these people.

He let Lu Buxiu in, thought about it, and told him to enter the conference room next to the office.

"Sit down and talk slowly. He took a glass of water for Lu Buxiu, "What's wrong with Lao Yan?"

Lu Buxiu didn't care about drinking the water, and stared at Li Qingyan with wide eyes: "Brother Yan......, guess what? The night before yesterday, the Red Gang gave him a letter, and he knew that the Red Gang was chasing you, but he didn't say anything! I didn't tell me until yesterday morning, and I went to pick you up——"

"I thought about it again, I asked him for a gun! And he gave me something? Give me an old revolver! And three bullets! I thought he was quite interesting, but when I thought about it, I figured it out - when I told him he was going to pick you up, he was reluctant, what kind of did it to me!?

Seeing Lu Buxiu's sincere excitement, Li Qingyan couldn't help but smile.

He had already realized these when he listened to Lu Buxiu in the car. That's why he didn't rush to see the serious student after he came back. The little brother in front of him only thought of it now...... All right. It's not too stupid.

Lu Buxiu saw him laughing even more urgently, and slapped the table: "Brother Yan, why are you still laughing?!"

Look around again: "What about our sister!?"

Li Qingyan stretched out his hand and patted him on the shoulder: "No, don't worry." I ask you, how did you know that the Red Gang was going to me that night?"

"What the little parrot told me!" Lu Buxiu glared, "They all know it, so they just hide it from me......! Fuck, I asked you to pick you up when I knew you weren't dead!"

Li Qingyan thought about it for a while, and tried to help this irascible demon clan young man straighten out his thoughts: "Then did they say that they didn't care about me because of what?

"Isn't it because of our sister!?" Lu Buxiu slapped the table and stood up, "Serious Sheng said that the high-level people in the club called the Red Gang to kill star fruit - if you take star fruit and leave, they can't protect you." They said they didn't know either, Brother Yan, what happened to our sister? What's going on?"

Li Cheng did say that it was the people of the Promotion Association who wanted the life of star fruit.

But why not do it yourself? As far as he knew, there would be a few hard ideas for the promotion. It's not hard to run to the Wasteland Farm and kill a girl, and it's far more reliable than those moody demons.

"That's all?" Li Qingyan asked, "They didn't say anything else?"

Lu Buxiu frowned and thought for a while, then slapped his thigh: "Oh, yes, yes, yes—what are they talking about...... The killing of our sister has something to do with the killing of Pei Bolu! If I ask anything else, they won't know!"

Li Qingyan let out a sigh of relief.

Finally...... I've found some clues.

Pei Bolu - Chief of Public Security of Beishan City. His son is Pei Yuanxiu.

Li Qingyan and Pei Yuanxiu have a good relationship, they are friends, and they are also classmates in advanced classes. But Yuan Xiu's father was different from him - he didn't like the demon clan very much.

Beishan is a municipality directly under the central government, and the chief of public security has a high administrative rank, usually concurrently serving as a municipal councilor. Therefore, the chief of the Public Security Bureau is actually a deputy minister. He has been in office for nine years, and he has exercised thunderous means. The first radical act of the Promotion Association was after the chief dispatched the military and police to brutally suppress the demon clan fighting for the "equal right to live".

It is rumored that he once said in private, "The best way to build a new society is to solve all the demon clans in the country first." In practice, he seems to want to do just that—since he took office, the number of demons thrown into prison has skyrocketed, and all of them are said to have been subjected to inhuman abuse.

Therefore, what the radicals of the promotion association have been trying to do in recent years is to kill him. Li Qingyan once told star fruit that the bombing of the New Century Mall last month was actually an assassination of the chief executive — and it was indeed he who found out about it within the promotion association and cooperated with the secret intelligence bureau to call the assassination futile attempt.

But he also knew that that this time did not work out, and there would be a second time. At the moment, Lu Buxiu said that the serious mention of the "killing of star fruit" was related to the "killing of Pei Bolu", which means that they, at least the top of the promotion association, are indeed actively planning a second attack.

However, what can star fruit, a farm girl, have to do with Pei Yuanxiu?

Pei Yuanxiu not only has a high status, but he is also a fourth-level monk, does she need to care about a star fruit to assassinate this kind of person? What can she influence?

Could it be that the Promotion Association will still know some information that even the Special Intelligence Agency does not know?

He pondered. And Lu Buxiu seemed to have calmed down slightly. He stared at Li Qingyan for a while, picked up the water cup from the table, and drank it all.

Li Qingyan turned his face to look at him: "What's the matter?

Lu Buxiu hesitated for a moment: "Hey, fuck...... Hi ......"

Li Qingyan knew that when this demon clan youth behaved like this, it usually meant that he had a problem in his heart. And he found it difficult to talk about...... I'm afraid I'm upset.

He smiled: "Between you and me, there is something that is not easy to say." ”

Lu Buxiu thought for a while and slammed the table: "Brother Yan, are you from the Special Intelligence Agency?"
