Chapter 418: Seal the Mountain

Chapter 418: Chapter 418: Seal the Mountain

Yan Mountain is a famous scenic spot within H City, a famously picturesque mountain range that maintains its original mountain forest topography, which is why it isn’t open to the public under normal circumstances, for fear that tourists might encounter danger.

Jiangli had originally thought that upon her arrival, she would see the dense mountain body and deserted mountain paths.

But...

Now, standing in a brightly lit area, Jiangli gazed at the nearby police cars and the police tape, her face deep in thought.

She couldn’t help but look towards Fu Shiyan beside her and asked with curiosity, "Why are the police working so late?"

Fu Shiyan wasn’t surprised by this; instead, he was amused by Jiangli’s naive expression. He coughed lightly and said softly, "After all, it’s a criminal case, involving the digging up of bones and notifying the victim’s family. For the police, this is a major case, so working overnight is quite normal."

Jiangli’s mouth twitched.

The Governor’s Office here is really dedicated.

She feared that there would be too many people tomorrow, which would make it inconvenient to handle affairs, so she rushed over in the middle of the night.

But she hadn’t expected others to be even more devoted to their duties.

"Ancestor, with so many people here... what should we do now?" Xia Xin looked towards the flickering lights moving back and forth in the mountains and could imagine the police scouring the mountain for bodies.

Jiangli frowned and said, "Since we’ve come all this way, we definitely need to go in."

She didn’t want to have come for nothing.

Xia Xin glanced at the police tape in front of him and said with difficulty, "But with so many police officers around, they won’t let us in, will they?"

Jiangli paused.

"Jianchuan." Upon hearing this, Fu Shiyan looked towards Duan Jianchuan.

Duan Jianchuan nodded knowingly and walked over to the police guarding the area.

Jiangli raised an eyebrow, "What’s this about?"

Fu Shiyan clarified, "Let him go and give a greeting."

Jiangli blinked.

Fu Shiyan gave her a reassuring look but said nothing.

Xia Xin then saw Duan Jianchuan talk to a police officer for a few words. The officer’s expression changed from stern and tense to hesitant.

After a while, the officer took out his phone, as if to make a call.

Soon afterward, two people came down from the mountain.

One was dressed in a police uniform, while the other wore plain clothes, not looking like a police officer at all.

Jiangli’s gaze lingered on the latter, immediately discerning that this person was from the Xuanmen.

He was a man with a square face and straight eyebrows, not pleasant looking but with exceptionally bright, clear, and just eyes. His brow revealed an abundance of spiritual energy, and he had a tall figure, clearly someone who practiced martial arts.

"Ancestor, that man..." Xia Xin caught sight of the man and felt a bit frightened. He leaned closer to Jiangli and whispered, "He’s scary..."

Jiangli replied indifferently, "Don’t be scared, he’s not a bad person."

While they were speaking.

The two newcomers exchanged a few words with the police and Duan Jianchuan, after which Duan Jianchuan led them towards Jiangli and Fu Shiyan.

Xia Xin immediately straightened up and dared not to speak.

"How did Mr. Fu come here, and without sending a message in advance?" The man in the police uniform approached and spoke to Fu Shiyan in a friendly manner.

Fu Shiyan was equally cordial, "Chief Xu, long time no see, how are you keeping?"

The middle-aged man burst into a smile immediately, "I’m all good, I heard from your second uncle that you’ve returned to the country. I’ve been too busy to meet you, and I didn’t expect to bump into you here."

"We also came for some matters and didn’t expect to see you personally here, Uncle Xu," said Fu Shiyan warmly.

Xia Xin subtly tugged at Jiangli’s sleeve and whispered with minimal volume, "Ancestor, do they know each other too?"

Jiangli hummed in confirmation, observing Chief Xu and Fu Shiyan.

Xia Xin felt astonished inside.

What kind of person is Mr. Fu, knowing just about everyone?

"By the way, Shiyan, what brings you here so late?" Chief Xu, following Fu Shiyan’s comment, naturally asked.

Fu Shiyan replied, "We came to take care of some affairs."
