Chapter 644: Chapter 616: Unexpected Discovery

Li Chen looked at the scene before him with some astonishment, and a look of surprise unconsciously appeared on his face.

To be honest, the punch he threw hadn’t employed too much strength, if it were an ordinary person, they would at best be knocked flying by it.

But this ’zombie’ just burst open so abruptly, which made it hard for Li Chen to believe.

It wasn’t just Li Chen who found it unbelievable, the people around him were looking at him with an incredibly reverent gaze.

A monster that bullets couldn’t deal with had just exploded under Li Chen’s punch; was such power even human?

At this time, even the chief of the police station had been alerted.

He walked out only to see this hair-raising scene unfold before him.

However, the police chief had seen his fair share of intense situations, and upon seeing such a scene, he only furrowed his brow slightly before he began inquiring about the situation from the other officers.

As for everyone else, many had already run to one side and started vomiting upon witnessing the sight.

This was no longer a matter of strength or lack thereof. Though the person had seemingly turned into a monster, they had at least been in human form previously; a ’person’ who had suddenly been reduced to a cloud of blood mist under a single punch from Li Chen was simply too much for most to accept.

The police chief looked deep into Li Chen’s eyes and then said no more. Compared to others, he knew the origins of Qilin Princess and her associates, so the fact that they possessed such immense power didn’t surprise him at all.

"Hurry up and clean this up," the chief ordered, after evaluating the condition of the scene.

Soon, a group of police officers and medical examiners began cleaning up the area.

At that moment, Li Chen crouched down.

Since the victim had been drained of blood, there wasn’t much blood spilt after the explosion, and in these small amounts of blood, Li Chen found some green substance.

"What’s this..." Li Chen furrowed his brows and called a medical examiner over.

After testing, it was confirmed that the green substance was indeed poisonous, and moreover, it was an unknown toxin.

After receiving the answer, Li Chen nodded slightly, but the doubt in his heart deepened.

Even Li Xinmei had only drawn blood from people. Yet, this person was drained of blood and left with toxins in their body. What was the principle behind that?

After dealing with matters on site, Li Chen returned to the morgue with Qilin Princess and Ouyang Wan’er to examine several more bodies.

"Chief, I would like to ask you something," Li Chen said straightforwardly after leaving the morgue and finding the chief.

"Please ask." The chief, knowing their identities, was very amiable in response.

"I would like to inquire if, recently in Jiangbei, the trace of a person has been discovered." Li Chen described some of the features of the Black General and questioned him.

Hearing Li Chen’s words, the police chief furrowed his brows slightly, "Do you mean that this person could be related to this case?"

"Very likely!" Li Chen nodded. Although he couldn’t be certain, he speculated that this matter could indeed be related to him, based on the bloodlust displayed by the Black General last time.

The chief conducted a search but then shook his head at Li Chen, "I’m sorry, but we haven’t discovered the trace of this person yet. However, rest assured, from now on, we will focus our investigation on this individual and will notify you immediately if we make any discovery."

"Thank you very much." Li Chen smiled and nodded, yet his heart still felt heavy.

"It’s okay, we are police officers, and for the safety of the citizens, this is also our duty," the police chief nodded.

With no discoveries for the time being, Li Chen could only leave the police station with Qilin Princess and Ouyang Wan’er.

Similarly, they booked a room at the hotel, and Li Chen also checked into the hotel.

"Something seems off," Li Chen sat alone by the windowsill at night, his gaze appearing somewhat deep and distant.

Having once faced off against Li Xinmei, he understood that this kind of consumption might not be as simple as just a need.

But the Black General was not Li Xinmei, and he couldn’t be sure of the specific situation.

At that moment, the doorbell to Li Chen’s room suddenly rang.

Getting up to open the door, Li Chen’s face rarely showed a smile, "Wan’er, what brings you here?"

Ouyang Wan’er walked into Li Chen’s room, "I saw that Brother Li Chen seemed a bit unsettled, so I wanted to come over and check on you."

After pouring a cup of tea for Ouyang Wan’er, Li Chen gently shook his head, "I won’t hide it from you, there has indeed been a bit of trouble on my end lately, and this matter might truly be related to me."

"Related to Brother Li Chen?" Ouyang Wan’er couldn’t help but exclaim in surprise.

"Yeah," Li Chen nodded, "I suspect that this killer is an enemy of mine."

"I see..." Ouyang Wan’er’s face couldn’t help but show a look of concern, "If I had known earlier, I wouldn’t have called Brother Li Chen."

Li Chen chuckled quietly and came up to Ouyang Wan’er, gently pinching her cheek and smiling, "What are you talking about? Isn’t your business my business?"

"Ever since several grandfathers went missing, you are the only family member I have left. If something were to happen to you too, I’m afraid I would go insane," Li Chen said, "Knowing that you are here, I would have come to see you no matter what."

"Brother Li Chen, you’re really kind," said Wan’er.

Ouyang Wan’er’s cheeks were still a bit red due to Li Chen’s actions, but upon hearing his words, she couldn’t help but be moved, and gently rested her head against Li Chen’s chest.

Li Chen’s expression stiffened for a moment before softening again. He gently embraced Ouyang Wan’er and held her in silence for a long while.

He knew he wasn’t a good person, let alone a good man.

But when it came to the people close to him, he would never allow anyone to harm them.

Holding Ouyang Wan’er quietly in his arms, Li Chen gently kissed her forehead.

Since childhood, he had grown up in that small village, accompanied only by several grandfathers and Ouyang Wan’er.

Back then, he was just a little brat; he couldn’t possibly discuss everything with his grandfathers, so Wan’er became the only one he could confide in.

Similarly, he was also the only person Wan’er could talk to, and the two of them grew up together.

Now, with the four grandfathers gone and whereabouts unknown, he had to be the one to protect Wan’er.

"No matter what, this calamity must be dealt with first!"
