“It’s like this…”
Cheng Xing explained the whole story to Su Haoran on the other end of the phone.
When Su Haoran heard Cheng Xing mention the Fallen, his expression immediately changed.
“Where are you now? Wait for me there, I’ll bring people over right away.”
Su Haoran, on the other end of the phone, hung up after learning Cheng Xing's location and dropping a single sentence.
“Team Leader? What happened?”
Gao Chen quickly asked, looking at Su Haoran’s grim expression.
“Cheng Xing encountered a Fallen in the base. I’m going to handle it.”
“What? A Fallen? Why are there so many Fallen?”
Hearing this, Gao Chen’s expression also changed. In all the years they had been with the Awakener Management Bureau, receiving one Fallen case a month was considered a lot.
How could Cheng Xing have encountered a second one so quickly?
“It’s nothing, just an 8-level Fallen. I’ll take some people to deal with it, and hopefully it’s nothing serious.”
Su Haoran also found it strange, but since Cheng Xing had already restrained the person, he didn't bring the other members of his team.
...
Su Haoran was very fast. After Cheng Xing waited for more than ten minutes, an Audi sped over and stopped steadily by the roadside.
Immediately, he saw Su Haoran get out of the car and walk over with large strides.
“Hmm? Yan Yan? Why are you here?” Su Haoran recognized Chu Yanyan at a glance.
“Brother Su?”
“Young Master Su.”
Seeing who had arrived, Uncle Li’s expression subtly changed, and he quickly greeted him.
This person was not the eldest son of the Su Family. He heard that he had joined the Awakener Management Bureau, so why was he here?
Could this matter involve a Fallen?!
“Call me Team Leader Su.”
Su Haoran was clearly displeased by his address of “Young Master.”
“You two know each other?”
Their familiar demeanor surprised Cheng Xing.
“The Su Family and the Chu Family are the forces behind the support and establishment of the Awakener Management Bureau, so of course we know each other.”
“And Chu Yanyan, like you, is a reserve member of the Awakener Management Bureau.”
Su Haoran nodded, sighing that it was a small world.
“Like me? Cheng Xing, are you also planning to join the Awakener Management Bureau?”
Chu Yanyan quickly grasped the key point in Su Haoran’s words, her eyes full of little stars. She couldn't help but grab Cheng Xing's arm and asked happily.
“This is a bit too coincidental.”
Cheng Xing rubbed his nose. So, the Chu Family behind Chu Yanyan actually had such great influence.
Su Haoran's eyes narrowed slightly as he looked at the intimacy between the two, as if he had discovered some earth-shattering gossip.
After all, he had also heard about the Chu Family's young miss's incredible actions yesterday. A little thought made it hard not to be interested.
The person whose expression changed the most was undoubtedly Uncle Li beside them, his face full of shock.
What kind of place was the Awakener Management Bureau? It was a place where only those with top-tier talent and combat power were qualified to join.
If Awakener who could enter a Martial University were considered geniuses, then those who could become reserve members of the Awakener Management Bureau were people whom Martial University geniuses called geniuses.
“Alright, let’s get to business first.”
Su Haoran didn't forget the main task. After a brief exchange of pleasantries, he walked into the alley.
“It is indeed a Fallen.”
The experienced Su Haoran quickly detected the faint killing intent on Sang Biao. Although this killing intent could be hidden, Sang Biao was already unconscious, so it naturally couldn't be concealed.
He then began to check Sang Biao’s belongings. Before long, he found a mask on him.
“One Tube? The Killing Cult again?”
Cheng Xing couldn't help but let out a soft exclamation when he saw the mask in Su Haoran’s hand.
“Team Leader, are there so many Killing Cult members in the South China Base?”
“No, on the contrary, the Killing Cult has always been active near the West China Base and once expanded to surrounding bases.”
“But after the South China Base’s cleansing and the establishment of the Awakener Management Bureau, they disappeared for a long time.”
“The Fallen cases we received before were all from unorganized Fallen.”
Su Haoran looked at the mask in his hand, wondering what he was thinking.
However, the frequent appearance of Fallen was definitely not a good thing. Thinking of this, Su Haoran asked again.
“Cheng Xing, have you offended anyone recently?”
After all, Cheng Xing had said in his phone call that these people claimed to have been hired.
“Xu Wenxuan from my class, if I’m not mistaken.”
Cheng Xing stated a name without hesitation. If anyone he had offended was still alive, it could only be Xu Wenxuan.
“Xu Wenxuan? He did it?”
Chu Yanyan’s brows furrowed slightly when she heard that name.
“Team Leader, let’s investigate first. Don’t wrongly accuse anyone.”
Su Haoran nodded. They were a legitimate organization and needed evidence for their conclusions.
“Then I’ll take this person with me. I’ll notify the police to handle the others.”
Su Haoran took a ring from his waist, placed it directly around Sang Biao’s neck, and then, like carrying a chick, tossed him into the back seat.
“Before anyone notices, you two should leave first.”
Su Haoran came and went quickly. He poked his head out of the car window, gave them a quick instruction, and then sped away.
In the car, Su Haoran took out his phone and dialed a number.
“Hey, brother, what are you doing?”
“Sister, you have a rival, and he’s super strong!”
...
“Miss, we should go back.”
Uncle Li, whose emotions had swung wildly, quickly spoke. Today almost scared him out of his wits. How could he encounter a Fallen just by going out for a stroll?
After this incident, his bodyguard career was basically over.
Fearing further incidents, he could only lower his head and speak to Chu Yanyan.
Perhaps it was because today’s events were too bizarre, or perhaps it was because she saw Cheng Xing’s strength.
This time, she didn't refuse.
Upon learning that Cheng Xing wanted to apply to a Martial University, Chu Yanyan worried that he wouldn't have enough resources to level up. She had wanted to use the Chu Family's resources to help Cheng Xing upgrade, but now it seemed unnecessary.
With Cheng Xing's level 13, entering South China Martial University was a given.
Instead, she was falling too far behind Cheng Xing.
Thinking of this, Chu Yanyan quickly stepped forward. Before Cheng Xing could react, she rose slightly on her tiptoes, a light, fleeting kiss.
“Cheng Xing, I’ll see you at the Martial University exam~”
With that, the girl turned and left, hurried and light-hearted.
When Cheng Xing reacted, the blush on the girl’s face in his mind lingered for a long time.
The love, suppressed for many years and now released, was bold and fiery, so much so that even the seasoned Cheng Xing felt a bit overwhelmed.
...
South China Base, Area C.
In a rich man’s mansion in Area C.
Xu Wenxuan paced back and forth, his face full of urgency.
“Dad, is it not done yet?” Xu Wenxuan couldn’t help but ask.
Xu Zhiqiang unhurriedly cut a cigar, lit it, took a puff, and then slowly said.
“Don’t worry, I know Sang Biao’s strength very well. That Cheng Xing is dead for sure.”
“You, you’re not young anymore, but you’re still so impetuous in your actions. How will you take over my business in the future?”
After speaking, he didn't forget to reprimand Xu Wenxuan.
“Dad! You don’t know how he treated me! A poor boy, daring to fight me for Chu Yanyan, I must make him die!”
Xu Wenxuan recalled today’s events, his face burning with anger.
“You…”
“Bang!”
Xu Zhiqiang was about to continue lecturing his son when, with a loud bang, their door was kicked open, and a group of police officers rushed in.
Upon finding the Xu family father and son, they immediately apprehended them without a word.
“What are you doing?! I’m very familiar with your deputy director!”
“Don’t worry, for what you’ve done, the deputy director also wants to have a chat with you.”
These people didn’t waste any words and directly took the two away...
