Chapter 693: Chapter 694: Villain_1

"Use the Rain of Life."

Seeing Agunas hurrying over, Feng Yuan gave the order directly. He glanced at the trapped criminals, and Agunas flicked his tail and flipped open the book in his hands.

As Agunas made his move, the Rain of Life began to fall slowly. Watching those collapsed in pools of blood, Husky sighed and said helplessly,

"What on earth is going on here? Why did they attack this place?"

"I don’t know, can you access the records to check?"

"Forget it, leave it to the special task force to figure out, but..."

Thinking of Liao Yu, Husky’s face showed a strange expression, secretly thinking that the guy should have already finished work, and that it probably wouldn’t be him who would come later.

"It’s still somewhat difficult for Xiao Ji to control them."

Agunas said calmly, then suddenly flung the book in his hands. The book transformed into light points scattering in all directions, and pages from the book formed chains that locked up the people under Xiao Ji’s control.

Back in his original form, Xiao Ji landed from the sky and stood firmly on Husky’s forehead in the yard.

"Really, Odinis hasn’t been dealt with, and now we’ve got trouble here."

Looking at the damaged doors and windows around him, Feng Yuan said speechlessly, while Agunas added perplexedly,

"Is there something hidden here?"

"I don’t know, but it’s unlikely."

"And also..."

Husky narrowed his eyes. It had noticed that when Agunas appeared, the gaze of those criminals seemed to change. Agunas, flipping open the newly reappeared book, said,

"Could it be the G Organization causing trouble again?"

"You believe that? Not to mention their attire is clearly not that of the G Organization, the G Organization’s motives are something I don’t believe you’re unaware of. Their attacking here is the real mystery."

"A feint? A distraction?"

Agunas guessed absent-mindedly, and with a snort, Husky said disdainfully,

"Those guys wouldn’t bother causing trouble here lately; their methods are far from inferior."

"Usually, it’s only the G Organization that causes trouble around here."

Agunas flicked his tail as he spoke, and with an open mouth Husky added,

"Maybe not necessarily, but let them figure this headache out."

"Speaking of which, did you ask Qi Chen to inform them?"

"Yeah, and the driver called the police, too."

Taking a look at the captured criminals, Husky yawned. Although it really wanted to lie down and rest for a bit, finding a clean spot to lie down was not easy after such an intense fight had just taken place.

"Why would these remote areas attract criminals?"

Qi Chen murmured to himself, seated in a chair, puzzled. No matter what, he could not understand it; perhaps Dou Yanlan would have thought of something? He thought reluctantly and glanced at the time on his phone, Qi Chen wondered why it was taking the special task force so long to arrive.

"It’s probably nonsense, right? The Maomu Lumber Yard has no money; almost all the workers are ordinary people, so why would anyone want to rob this place?"

"Who knows, maybe..."

"Exactly, maybe..."

The passengers stole glances at Qi Chen and whispered to each other in low voices. They truly didn’t believe much in the robbery—the Maomu Lumber Yard, despite being part of East City District, was somewhat remote because it was separated by a river. Almost all the workers there were ordinary people since the wages weren’t high and there was little room for promotion.

After a while, vehicles from the special task force drove past the bus, one stopped to inquire and protect the people on the bus, while the others headed straight for the lumberyard office area.

"What exactly happened here?"

Hearing a familiar voice, Husky, who was idly bullying one of the criminals, turned his head in confusion and saw Liao Yu, saying,

"I thought you were off-duty?"

Sighing, Liao Yu replied helplessly,

"We’re short-staffed, what can I do?"

Narrowing his eyes, Huo Feng surveyed the surroundings seriously and asked,

"Have all the criminals been caught?"

"Not sure. At least everyone I saw when I arrived here is here, though it’s quite normal if any lookouts from afar got away."

"No matter, capturing them is enough."

Liao Yu spoke up, not thinking Feng Yuan had done anything wrong. Strictly speaking, Feng Yuan was under no obligation to help them resolve the situation. Looking at the people who lay in pools of blood, Liao Yu said with a headache,

"Such a hassle, after a major incident like this, I’ll have to pull an all-nighter again."

"Are you in a rush?"

Hearing Liao Yu’s inquiry, Feng Yuan looked at Liao Yu with some confusion and said,

"What’s up?"

"If you’re eager to go back and rest, I can speak to the captain and let you go first. You can just come over tomorrow and give your statement."

"It’s okay, I’m not in a hurry, especially since it’s already the last semester of senior year."

"That’s true."

Liao Yu smiled, understanding that it was common for those planning to apply to the Beast Taming Academy to be away from culture classes for long durations in the last semester of senior year. The school wasn’t too strict about it, as long as the students were safe.

Huo Feng, looking at Feng Yuan, asked in a low voice,

"How many casualties?"

"Don’t know, even though I had Agunas use the Rain of Life to administer emergency treatment, you’ll have to check the specifics yourselves."

Feng Yuan said with a slight headache. The Rain of Life wasn’t omnipotent; although it could heal injuries to the greatest extent possible, it had no effect on the dead or certain special types of injuries. He also couldn’t possibly check on each individual, Huo Feng nodded and said,

"Leave the rest to us."

"Speaking of which, where is Ye Hanlei?"

Feng Yuan, curious, glanced around as he hadn’t seen her at all. Liao Yu responded with a wry smile,

"She’s busy handling other cases..."

"Eh? Has the team disbanded?"

"No, it’s just that her abilities are quite strong, so we handle the minor cases separately due to inadequate manpower."

"What happened?"

Feng Yuan was curious. Having spent some time with the special task force, he knew well that they weren’t so short-staffed. Moreover, he hadn’t noticed an increase in the rate of serious incidents recently.

After some thought, Liao Yu said in a low voice,

"Sharlo has been a bit restless, so..."

"I see."

Feng Yuan understood immediately. Huo Feng gritted his teeth and said with ferocity,

"Talking about shortage of manpower here..."

"Haha..."

Liao Yu scratched his head, smilingly consoling Huo Feng. As he glanced at the busy special task force members, Feng Yuan yawned and said,

"You guys better wrap up catching the criminals quickly so I can go back and find Qi Chen."

"Eh? Your classmate is here too?"

Liao Yu was startled, looking at Feng Yuan with surprise. Nodding, Feng Yuan flicked his tail and said,

"We went to the hospital together, and then this mess happened... You guys will have to help explain to the school later."

While they were allowed to move freely, the school wouldn’t completely neglect them, especially when they were involved in a vicious incident. They would definitely need to explain to the teachers. They could keep it a secret, but if the special task force sent a request for assistance to the school, it would only cause more trouble.

"I understand."

It was just a matter of making a phone call – Liao Yu agreed readily. Besides, if not for Feng Yuan, the death toll would likely have been much higher, judging from the current situation, those criminals were after more than just a robbery.

"The G Organization, huh... they’re like bad pennies."

Huo Feng said discontentedly in a low voice, while Liao Yu shook his head,

"It’s unlikely to be them; they wouldn’t do such a thing. Although their objective is unclear, robbery, especially of money, is not something they do, let alone causing injury to people."

Unlike Huo Feng, the special task force often dealt with cases involving the G Organization, so they were quite familiar with them. Those criminals also didn’t seem to have any intention of framing them, so he could discern that these people were unrelated to the G Organization.

"Not them?!"

Huo Feng was somewhat surprised, as most of the disturbances in Great Xia Country were caused by the G Organization. Though the enemies of Odinis were also suspicious, they weren’t likely to engage in robbery – as enemies, they were more prone to direct sabotage.

Liao Yu looked around and said,

"It can be said that the G Organization hardly ever engages in robbery. Although their source of funding is unknown, they indeed do not lack money, nor would they rob a place with so little to gain."

This was not Liao Yu underestimating the Maomu lumber yard; it was just a fact. The lumber yard’s office was just a place for the forest guards to work and rest; it was unlikely to have anything valuable.

"Could it be that they discovered something special?"

Huo Feng, narrowing his eyes, spoke in a low voice, his gaze constantly surveying the surroundings as if trying to detect some clue.
