Chapter 516: Chapter 277: The Surprise of the Tablet Spirits

"Leave the Thirteenth District?" Wolf suddenly stunned, an expression of disbelief appeared on his face, "Has it really come to this?"

Without much thought, it was clear that Tang Hexun wanted them to disentangle themselves from this matter, to avoid punishment.

The second implication was that Tang Hexun feared he might not be able to cover this up anymore, intending to send Wolf and Jiang Shu away, and take on the responsibility himself.

"I’m not fully aware of the specifics either." The officer’s response was still very official, "If neither of you objected, we should depart as soon as possible."

"Wait, I’ll go look for Old Tang one more time." Wolf also became anxious, Old Tang’s precautionary measures instinctively gave him a bad feeling, and he was concerned about Old Tang’s current situation.

After all, he was not from the Thirteen District Police Station, and he was completely unclear what his superiors had discussed with Old Tang or what kind of pressure Old Tang was under.

"There’s no need to go." Jiang Shu stopped Wolf, then shook his head amidst Wolf’s puzzled gaze, "Old Tang has his reasons for arranging things this way, it’s best we don’t add to the chaos during such times. He’s already arranged for someone to escort us, a decision he must have made resolutely."

Then, without waiting for Wolf to respond, he quietly stepped forward and whispered to Wolf, "The officers from the Seventh District are officially here to assist under that pretense, but our journey is a secret operation. Neither the Thirteen District Police Station nor the Seventh District Police Station have any record of our departure, and the surveillance of the Thirteen District Police Station just happens to be broken, we can make the whole incident inconclusive."

Finally, Jiang Shu added, "Although this tactic might not be very effective, it can delay the investigation of the whole incident. The longer we delay, the wider the video will spread, and the more advantageous it will be for us later on."

"Hm." Wolf understood these reasons as well, he was just emotionally agitated with his close friend facing trouble, but hearing Jiang Shu’s logical analysis, he came to his senses.

What was most urgent now was to leave the contentious Thirteenth District; a Police Chief from the Seventh District and an adjunct personnel from the Seventh District were truly not suited to stay here for long.

As Jiang Shu had said, staying would only cause more trouble for Old Tang. Facing pressure and investigation from his superiors, they were utterly useless.

"Alright, we’ll leave with you." Wolf regained his composed demeanor and said to the officer in front of him, "Let’s go now, as quickly as possible."

"That would be for the best." The officer also nodded, relieved.

Police Chief Tang had entrusted this task to him because of his reliability, but if Wolf really refused to leave, he, a mere officer from the Thirteenth District, had no way to force a Police Chief from the Seventh District.

Afterward, the trio quickly made their way to the parking area near the police station, where Jiang Shu saw the remaining three Tablet Spirits.

Two flew, one walked, all with the same innocent expressions on their faces.

"Where have you been?" Jiang Shu eyed the three creatures suspiciously.

They had disappeared for a lengthy period, and with their ability, they could have caused a lot of mischief.

A: We just took a stroll around.

"A stroll? What did you do? Be honest." Jiang Shu frowned slightly as they walked and got into a car.

B: Went patrolling our territory.

"Patrolling your territory?" Jiang Shu’s frown deepened, suspecting something was up with the trio’s elusive behavior.

Could it be...

They were saving up a big move to deal with him?

As the main entity of the Tablet Spirits, he certainly knew his own thoughts.

The three Tablet Spirits just shook their heads mysteriously, with their dumpling hands wavering accordingly, looking utterly smack-worthy.

"..."

Jiang Shu just watched them silently.

A: Master, do you trust me?

"Your words..." Jiang Shu looked at his chubby firstborn, slowly nodding.

A: I promise, you will know soon.

A’s message made the other three Tablet Spirits blink, as it was something A had not yet discussed with them.

They were deciding...

To come clean?

But upon reflection, once they helped the Taigong Dynasty conquer the entire F sector, the commotion would undoubtedly alert Taigong himself.

Moreover, after seizing the benefits of the entire F sector and offering tribute to Taigong, he would certainly be pleased.

After all, the "Sky Tower" plan was about to start, and it needed a substantial amount of funding. The Taigong Dynasty’s first gathered wealth could alleviate urgent financial pressures.

"Tch, all mysterious and cryptic." Jiang Shu shrugged it off. He was well aware of what these four were like; since they said so, certainly they wouldn’t harm him.

However, this piqued his interest even more.

What on earth were these little guys hiding from him?

In the car.

"The video has reached four hundred thousand views and the spread of the incident accelerated suddenly ten minutes ago," Jiang Shu glanced at the video’s view count and said, "At this rate, it will only take three to four days to generate enough buzz."

There were also things he left unsaid; judging by the spreading speed of the video, someone must be meddling.
