Bai Yu knocked on the exquisite-looking door. A few minutes later, the door slowly opened, revealing a small gap for one to check who was outside.

“Hello, who are you looking for?”

A pleasant voice sounded.

Bai Yu did not expect to see other people in Lin Shan’s residence.

It was a young girl. She was about 160 centimeters tall. She wore a simple white dress and had a faint smile on her face. However, her eyes stared at him with weariness.

Her smile seemed to have a strange power that made people feel calm just by looking at her. It was so warm that his brain short-circuited for a moment.

She smiled gently, and his mind flashed with hidden thoughts.

It was horrifying.

Bai Yu’s heart quivered. The effect of the purification just now had not completely dissipated, and he immediately had a strong reaction towards her smile.

He withdrew from that state of infatuation.

There was something wrong with this girl!

A transcendent!

Two flashes of lightning flashed through Bai Yu’s mind.

The power that made people unconsciously become infatuated and quiet was definitely the influence of a transcendent’s power. In that short two seconds, Bai Yu had even thought of the number of kids he wanted with her!

Terrifying!

“To recklessly use a transcendent’s power on an ordinary person, you’re really hospitable.”

Bai Yu’s demeanor turned into one of hostility.

If not for the fact that the purification effect had not completely dissipated, he would have been directly affected by this girl. He would not have been able to maintain his original self and would have turned into a horn dog.

Being a dog would definitely lead to his death in this situation!

“Hehe, I was just playing around.

“It’s rare for an ordinary person who survived an extraordinary event to be so sensitive to extraordinary powers, Bai Yu. Lin Shan told me about you, so I wanted to give it a try.”

The girl smiled. Bai Yu’s face was cold as he took out the stack of documents from his backpack.

“Since you seem close with Lin Shan, I won’t beat around the bush.

“I looked through these documents and couldn’t find any leads.

“If you don’t need me anymore, please don’t disturb me. I just want to live a peaceful life.”

The girl pursed her lips.

Her eyes did not move, and her palms were facing upward as if she was waiting for something.

Only then did Bai Yu realize that the other party seemed to be blind, or perhaps there was something wrong with her eyes.

Her eyes were white, without any benevolence. It looked rather strange.

“If we find out the source of this supernatural incident, we naturally won’t disturb you anymore.

“But right now, we still need your cooperation in the investigation. Here, this is your cell phone, wallet, and identity card.”

She took out a bag from behind her, which contained Bai Yu’s things.

“I personally went to retrieve this for you last night. At the risk of being infected by the filth.

“Your apartment should be cleaned up in a week.

“My name is Qianxue.

“You can also call me Xue.

“Right.

“I’ve deleted some of the abnormal study materials on your phone.

“I can’t tell what you see in that girl but…”

Seeing this woman muttering to herself.

Bai Yu’s face flushed red. “You toyed with my phone?”

Qianxue narrowed her eyes and smiled amiably. “It’s just a routine check. After all, you’re the only witness who survived. We have the right to ensure your safety and eliminate any potential dangers for you.”

“Oh, in that case, thanks, I guess.”

Bai Yu took the phone in exasperation and left the residence without looking back. He was afraid that he would be angered to death by this woman if he stayed any longer.

It was a pity that his learning materials have been deleted.

There were also many demi-humans on it, such as the bunny girl and the cat girl. They were all deleted just like that.

After Bai Yu gradually left, the girl finally turned around and closed the door. Lin Shan was sitting on the sofa, watching the live broadcast of the hunt for exotic beasts.

“No abnormalities were detected. He’s very sensitive to extraordinary powers. Maybe that’s why he was able to survive.”

Qianxue picked up the juice on the coffee table and drank it.

“Didn’t I tell you before? He has nothing to do with this. He’s just a victim.”

Lin Shan stretched lazily, revealing a flexible arc.

“Stop fooling around. I agreed to let you be an intern investigator, not to make trouble for me.

“Hurry up and settle the matter of the apartment.

“I still want to go to the wilderness this month to kill exotic beasts on my days off.

“I keep feeling that this matter won’t end so easily.”

Qianxue sucked on the fruit juice as well, her cheeks puffing up. “He was thinking of tying me up with a rope to teach me a lesson just now, and he even had that very shameful look on his face. Don’t you think his heart is even a little twisted…”

“It was because you messed around with other people’s thoughts that he wanted to teach you a lesson.

“He wanted you to use less of your ability.

“Don’t try to sense other people’s emotions with your power the first time you meet them.

“That would impolite.

“Don’t you want to improve your social skills?

“You’ll never make friends if you keep using your ability to sense other people’s emotions.”

Lin Shan felt helpless.

“Alright, but this is the first case I’ve encountered as an intern investigator. I want to continue investigating!” Qianxue sipped on her juice as she walked away.

…

On the other side, Bai Yu carefully checked her phone and wallet.

There was a tracker on his phone. It did not have the ability to steal information. It was harmless and there was nothing wrong with his wallet being tampered with as well.

Only then did Bai Yu feel relieved. He opened the live broadcast app. The bait he used last night had already worked.

As expected, the godly tycoon who was ranked first on the list sent several messages consecutively.

[Who are you?]

[Who do you think I killed? Or are you threatening me?]

[Do you want money?]

The three messages that had been deleted. Obviously, the other party had sent a lot of messages in one go, but he felt that it was inappropriate and withdrew them.

[I have a guilty conscience.]

The death of the female streamer had already been published in Blue Sky Daily, and it had caused quite a stir. Even the top trending news of Linjiang’s network was about this matter.

There was probably something wrong with this tycoon.

Right now, he was in the dark while Bai Yu was in the light, being the landlady of the female streamer and all.

Although Bai Yu need not explain anything, the other person understood his intentions. 

However, he could rule out the possibility that the other party had nothing to do with this matter.

He had to personally meet this person to know more.

Bai Yu might also conduct an investigation on this top ranker. However, he should not place all his hopes on someone else. That was no different from waiting for death. As long as it was set up properly, there might not be much danger. The main thing is now is to determine what the other party’s goal is, and whether it will pose a threat to his life.

Bai Yu had always sought stability.

In the past three years, he had studied diligently every day. He never did anything that would attract attention. Every month, he quietly collected the rent for the entire building. He lived a simple, plain, and boring life. He enjoyed it very much.

Anything that tried to break his peaceful life had to be disposed of off before it would come back. He only had one life after all. If this person was really the mastermind behind the scenes and was caught unprepared by him, he would be in deep trouble.

What Bai Yu needed to do now was to turn the passive thoughts into active actions.

After thinking for a while, he replied, [I have something that belongs to you. I won’t beat around the bush. Tomorrow, at the Westlife Haven restaurant, the time is tentatively set. I will inform you then. You only have this one chance.]

Once the message was sent, the other party had already checked, but did not reply.

Bai Yu did not care. He had to make sufficient preparations tonight. He could not fall into a dangerous situation like the incident with the female streamer.

If the other party really harbored ill intentions towards him, then he could only wait for an opportunity to strike first. Moreover, the requirement of the main mission was to find the true source of this supernatural incident.

If he wanted to complete the mission, he had to do it himself.

The government did not explicitly prohibit the reporting of all kinds of supernatural incidents. However, there were always supernatural that operated underground.

The control of all kinds of supernatural knowledge and items of such was extremely strict. It was even stricter than firearms.

Ping Yi company was an organization that investigated on such things. Although Bai Yu had an elder who had considerable power in Linjiang City, his hands could never reach the investigation association.

These people all had the same attitude towards unofficial supernatural powers.

They would rather kill wrongly than let go of their grudge!

Now, Bai Yu also had an advantage.

Whether it was the investigator or this tycoon, even if they investigated his background, they would only be able to find that he was a student whose parents had both died. This was his advantage.

The image that he had always created was his greatest protection.

Not long after, Bai Yu hailed a taxi and headed towards the Western District. Linjiang City was divided into four districts.

They were neither too big nor too small. They were ranked in the middle of the more than 100 cities in the Dongsheng Empire.

The Western District was a trading and entertainment district.

The terrain was complicated, and there were all sorts of people that resided here. The police force was also very strong.

It was obvious as to why Bai Yu chose to meet in Western District, naturally, it was not just because of these things. There was also a very important factor.

His best friend knew about everything and anything lived here. Moreover, he ran a big business in Western District, and his family ran a martial arts school.

Bai Yu had to ask him for help to make his operation more full proof..
