Chapter 89 Mission Impossible? Are they playing Infernal Affairs here?
The collective undercover operation is a done deal; the White Bone Demon can't change it, so she can only comply.
Of course, he wouldn't pay for it.
The money given by the fishing expert went into Gu Bai's pocket, which was considered to make up for his loss.
night.
With the help of the Bodhisattva, Chen Youzhi changed his face and followed the fishing expert.
Gu Qingyi gave him a jade pendant infused with the power of an old turtle's meal, making it far more potent than ordinary mediums, since the old turtle had consumed quite a lot in one meal.
Gu Bai watched the fishing expert leave and asked, "What was the cost price of that jade pendant?"
Old turtle blinked: "Fifty thousand."
"You're really generous. The materials alone cost 50,000, plus your strength, and you sold it for 300,000." Gu Bai took a deep breath: "Captain Chen, you're only asking for 50,000 a month?"
Chen Youzhi is now a martial artist who has cultivated true qi, and can be considered a top expert.
"A steady, long-term relationship, that's what you said, isn't it?" the old turtle said matter-of-factly.
"That depends on the type of water. This is a big river... Never mind, let's go for team building instead."
Gu Bai was tired.
Foolish fellow human beings, how come you have a conscience now?
It was a custom-made item; he felt the pinch even after paying for that meal.
Li Qingfeng, now with a changed demeanor, sat in the back seat and said, "Gu Bai, stop being so greedy. After all, he was cooperating with our security operation, so he shouldn't have been charged."
Gu Bai glanced at him: "I'm not a law enforcement officer."
Li Qingfeng: "You can join now; you've also cultivated true qi."
"No thanks, I'm aiming to be a big boss." Gu Bai had no intention of joining the Public Security Bureau.
He can't take on side jobs, he can't go out to earn money, and his meager salary isn't even enough for him to show off for a meal.
He wouldn't agree to go hungry and would have to take risks unless his skull was shattered.
Upon arriving at the lavish restaurant, Old Wang noticed that he had brought two people with him and immediately treated him to a VIP experience once again.
Of course, it costs money.
Immersed in the pool of blood, the medium he planted in Zhang Yijun returned.
The information is absorbed into the mind, and the media continues to be loaded.
In a dark room, a figure dressed in black is hidden.
Zhang Yijun said respectfully and devoutly, "Master, this time I went to the 'Wine Pool and Meat Forest,' where the yang energy was abundant..."
From the darkness, a deep voice said, "Its people really don't know how to keep their distance. Have any suspicious individuals infiltrated among them?"
Zhang Yijun said, "There's someone named Gu Bai who has connections with the Public Security Bureau, but there are no security personnel inside."
"Contact? What contact?"
Zhang Yijun truthfully replied, "Friend, Gu Qingyi from the Public Security Bureau has a crush on him, but he's just an ordinary person who used to be a pig hauler. Seeing that I'm making money, he wants to do wood carving business with me, but I've been putting it off."
"Recently, a lot of statues and jade pendants have appeared on the market, supposedly blessed by Zhang Qingguan. Do you have any information about that?" the deep voice said.
Zhang Yijun said, "It's a mentally ill person that the Public Security Bureau has been keeping an eye on. He lives in the same neighborhood as Gu Bai, but it shouldn't be related. They have no connection whatsoever."
After a moment of silence, a voice finally rang out: "Is there anything else?"
Zhang Yijun said, "Old Wang said that three private rooms are abnormal; their yang energy has been completely drained."
A deep voice said, "Three? Besides Shadow and the Musician, who else is there?"
Zhang Yijun replied truthfully, "Old Wang doesn't know him either. He invited a wealthy businessman, and that businessman recommended him. I don't know anything about the situation. Should I go and find out?"
He said in a deep voice, "No need. You need to keep your integrity and not get involved. What's going on with Liu Feng?"
Zhang Yijun: "Regarding Li Qingfeng's matter, the Public Security Bureau conducted an internal investigation. I never proactively discussed these matters with Liu Feng. However, someone who used to follow Lao Wang investigated Liu Feng and called me recently, asking me for money. I immediately hung up, and I lost that phone number. He doesn't know my identity."
He said in a deep voice, "As long as no clues were left, that's fine. I'll test the people Gu Bai brought. You should go back and rest."
Zhang Yijun left the room and quickly disappeared into the darkness.
Instead of going home, she went to a hotel, knocked on the wall, and a blurry shadow appeared on the wall.
"The musician and the shadow have already entered. I've also told it about what happened in the third VIP room, and it'll definitely be paying attention to you," Zhang Yijun said solemnly. "Showing up at this time isn't a good thing."
"Who said I was in the third private room? It's just that cripple Longwanghe."
The blurry figure chuckled, "Back in the battle of the new city district, the Mosquito Man's main body died, and [Tai Sui] was severely injured and its whereabouts are unknown. Actually, there was another one who was seriously injured, and that was the one from the Dragon King River. I just lured it out."
"If more monsters join in, things will get complicated." Zhang Yijun frowned and said, "It's already chaotic enough. The Shadow, the Musician, it, and the Dragon King River—that's four already. There's also Zhang Qingguan from Wudang, and three more from the Public Security Bureau. It's far too dangerous."
"Without me and Longwanghe, do they really think they can hold back the [Tai Sui]? Wishful thinking."
The blurry figure sneered, "You forgot about the two of them. The one behind the Blood Wine, plus the one who devoured the musician's three mediums, this new district is quite lively."
"It's too crowded; it'll be even harder for us to seize the [Tai Sui]," Zhang Yijun said. "There are too many people wanting to be the ones to reap the benefits."
"We want to have more power, and this is the only way." The blurry figure said in a deep voice, "Blood Wine is too strong. We must master [Tai Sui] to contend with him."
Zhang Yijun asked worriedly, "What if it comes from another province?"
"No, humans have been watching him closely, so he doesn't dare to show himself easily, but his medium is also very powerful."
……
"Mission: Impossible? Are they playing Infernal Affairs here?"
Gu Bai was also taken aback after reviewing the memories.
He had thought that Zhang Yijun had someone like her behind her, but he never expected there to be two.
He then checked the other three mediums, the shadow and the musician, who were all resting in the hotel and had not gone to see the original body or done anything.
The third medium, the one from Longwang River, went to lie down in the Han River, and judging from its appearance, it looked like a toad.
"Tai Sui? Is it mycelium? It is said that Tai Sui is an aggregate of mycelium, so calling it Tai Sui is quite fitting."
The White Bone Demon pondered, "They said they ate the musician's three mediums, does that mean they're talking about me? They've included me in their calculations too? I'm afraid we won't be able to finish this stockpile."
I was originally thinking that keeping a little bit would be enough.
It seems I can't rely on this stockpile of food; I need to continue strengthening it.
Otherwise, they wouldn't gain anything from this war to capture the "Tai Sui".
"Use this opportunity to relocate the granary? The current granary has seen my skeletal remains; there's no way I'll allow it to return to its original state."
Gu Bai pondered: "Only when humans control and utilize [Tai Sui] can they maximize its power; but just in case, I also need to control a portion of it, just like I do now."
Once humans obtain the "Tai Sui" (a powerful astrological artifact), the police will sell them food as law-abiding citizens. As long as they have money, they can buy it openly and as much as they want.
But life is bound to have its ups and downs. The living need savings to feel at ease, and even the most hardened individuals need provisions to feel secure.
Therefore, we should also take advantage of this opportunity to update our grain storage; after all, obtaining a new mycelium is not a difficult task.
By reaping sufficient benefits and cultivating new mycelium, one can not only avoid losses but also make a fortune.
"I have always used the Tai Sui as a granary and kept it under suppression. Now I have a lot of grain stored up, and my awareness of the Tai Sui has become strong."
It's time for an honest conversation. If it behaves, I don't mind continuing to use it; if it doesn't, then we'll take this opportunity to get a new grain depot!
