Chapter 112 - 112 112 Prison Department

112: Chapter 112 Prison Department 112: Chapter 112 Prison Department “Mr.

Ye, you have finally returned.” The two came before Ye Xuan, their voices tinged with excitement, as they both bowed deeply.

“I tried calling Azure Dragon, but I haven’t been able to get through.

Where is he?” Ye Xuan asked softly.

Mentioning Azure Dragon brought a worrying shadow over Linglong’s face.

She quickly began recounting to Ye Xuan the global changes over the past six months.

Blood Soul Strange Beasts ravaged the world, and Xia Country was no exception.

Wu’an Office deployed all its personnel to fight these beasts across the entire nation.

The previous communication facilities had long been discarded.

In Wu’an Office’s manpower scarcity, Azure Dragon still left Tie Li and Linglong in Capital City specifically to await Ye Xuan’s arrival.

As Linglong narrated the changes in the world, Ye Xuan showed no surprise.

After all, these Blood Soul Strange Beasts had escaped from Blood Sea Battlefield, a situation he had foreseen.

With Linglong continuing her report, Ye Xuan learnt about the supernatural forces emerging around the world, yet none of these matters perturbed his mind.

Yet, Ye Xuan could distinctly feel that whenever Linglong mentioned the formidable beings of this era, her eyes shone with immense admiration, as if turning into a songbird, she went on incessantly to Ye Xuan.

“Mr.

Ye, you might not be aware, but I personally saw the Sword God, Ye Lingtian, annihilate the East Sea Giant Beast with a single strike, and that Jue Tian Heavenly Blade God, with just one man and one saber, even more so…”

Before Linglong could continue, Ye Xuan slightly furrowed his brows and waved his hand to interrupt, “I have no interest in knowing who these people are.

Today, I summoned the two of you here because there’s a task you need to handle.”

Seeing Ye Xuan’s furrowed brows, Linglong held her breath and promptly stopped speaking.

“Mr.

Ye, my life was saved by you, and I would never dare forget the oath I made back then.

Whatever your command may be, I will certainly not refuse,” Linglong stated solemnly.

Looking at Linglong’s respectful demeanor, Ye Xuan nodded in satisfaction.

He had saved her back then precisely to have her assist him in his endeavors, otherwise, he had no such good intentions to save someone irrelevant to him.

“The first task, I command you to mobilize all of Wu’an Office’s forces to find the mastermind behind the assassination attempt on Ye Ling’er at Capital City airport six months ago.”

“The second task, I need a group of Death Soldiers at my disposal.

How you select these Death Soldiers is for you two to decide, but it must be accomplished in the shortest possible time,” Ye Xuan declared decisively.

As Ye Xuan issued these two tasks, Tie Li and Linglong’s faces stiffened, showing signs of difficulty.

Tie Li even managed a bitter smile, “Mr.

Ye, you think too highly of us.

The second task is tough, but not impossible.”

“But the first task you’ve given us involves using the entire Wu’an Office, and now all members of the eight groups are dispatched across various locations fighting the Strange Beasts.

With just your word, how can they…”

Tie Li hesitated and then stopped, not continuing further.

Clearly, Ye Xuan, as just an Earth Group Guest Elder, didn’t have the authority to command the entire Wu’an Office on his own.

In a former world, counting on Ye Xuan’s prestige, the leaders of the eight groups would have given him this favor, but now with global turmoil, the group leaders were already overwhelmed, how could they spare a thought to help Ye Xuan uncover the so-called mastermind?

Ye Xuan understood this logic, but since he made this claim, he naturally had some confidence.

“Go tell the leaders of the eight groups, I want to see them at Wu’an Office headquarters seven days from now.

If even one is absent, then don’t blame me, Ye Xuan, for turning hostile.”

Ye Xuan’s voice was chill, causing Tie Li and Linglong’s expressions to turn bitter, but they could only agree, because both knew very well that the Mr.

Ye before them was a man of his word.

They were just the messengers, whether the leaders of the eight groups would come or not was out of their hands.

As Ye Xuan gave some final instructions to the two of them again, an hour passed, and Ye Xuan eventually drifted away.

Watching Ye Xuan’s fading figure, Tie Li sighed and then turned to Linglong, a hint of worry flickering in his eyes, “Linglong, you haven’t told Mr.

Ye that the Guardian Sword God wants to take you as his disciple, have you?”

“This is not something I want to bring up again.

You should know that I have already sworn an oath to serve Mr.

Ye for ten years, so how could I truly become a disciple of Ye Lingtian?” Linglong said with a cold voice.

“But…

are you really content with this?” Tie Li asked with a complex expression, continuing, “You should know that Ye Lingtian was the second greatest master in the world a hundred years ago.

His swordsmanship is almost godlike.

If you could inherit his skills, you would definitely become a leading figure among your peers.

Why don’t you plead with Mr.

Ye to let you go…”

“Enough, let’s not talk about this anymore.” Linglong’s expression turned cold, and she turned to walk away into the distance.

“Ah!”

Tie Li gave a resigned sigh, knowing this matter was too complicated, and quickly followed Linglong, disappearing into the night with her.

…

Prison Department, as the name implies, is a place where criminals are incarcerated.

Throughout history, those who commit serious crimes, after being sentenced by the Ministry of Justice, are imprisoned in the Prison Department to serve their sentences.

And those who have committed extremely heinous crimes are also temporarily detained in the Prison Department during their execution.

Times of turmoil call for harsh punishments, a precedent found in any reign, and Xia Country is no exception.

Under global instability, malicious individuals stir up trouble, but in the face of Xia Country, a colossal entity, these individuals are directly suppressed.

The less culpable are sentenced to jail, and those extremely wicked face the death penalty, leading to the Prison Department becoming overcrowded.

Capital City, Prison Department.

Iron gates forged from black iron tightly shut, barbed wire interwoven, intermittently flashing with blue electric light, surrounded by strictly vigilant soldiers patrolling around the prison.

At this moment, Ye Xuan stood in front of the prison gates, attracting the attention of the patrolling soldiers, but since Ye Xuan showed no unusual behavior, the soldiers did not dare to approach him for questioning.

Buzz!

Suddenly, the prison gates slowly opened, revealing a middle-aged man dressed in official attire quickly stepping out, followed by numerous prison guards, all with tense faces and obsequious smiles as they approached Ye Xuan.

“Mr.

Ye honors us with your presence.

This subordinate has failed to welcome you from afar; please forgive me.”

Zhang Bin, the Warden of the Capital City Prison Department.

Although his official rank was not high and hardly significant in the Capital City, within the walls of this prison, he was the supreme authority.

Usually, Zhang Bin was quite leisurely, leisurely enough to play cards every day, drink a little wine in his office, and occasionally lead his subordinates on a tour around various parts of the prison, ensuring that no prisoners escaped.

It could be said that he led a very peaceful life.

But Zhang Bin’s peaceful days had ended!

Just last night, while he was asleep in his warm bed, a phone call from a top official in the Ministry of War completely woke him up.

He was informed that an extremely important person was coming to inspect the Capital City Prison Department today, and whatever the demands might be, he had to fully cooperate.
