Chapter 1230: Chapter 423: Requesting Permission, Sealed Case (5k)_2

Wen Yan talked for a few minutes, and finally, the Map of Yan Country was unfolded.

The General Director had finished his buns and was drinking soy milk while listening to Wen Yan talk about the key points.

“So, you came over early in the morning, seeking permission?”

“Yes, I just got important clues from my informant regarding the local Ghost Wealth God. I can’t sleep until I figure it out.”

The General Director didn’t speak for a while after hearing this.

He was guessing earlier that Wen Yan came so early and even brought breakfast for him, probably not for the matter concerning those ghosts last night.

But unexpectedly, Wen Yan went in circles and seemed to return to the main point, yet all along was talking about different things.

Wen Yan was not in a hurry, he was just waiting.

Using the two people who were burned to death together with the Three-Deaths Wandering Ghost as a starting point, he tried to perform soul summoning but was obstructed. The only thing visible was a lantern on Golden Light Avenue.

The initial plan was to use the lantern as a starting point to find the people behind, but unexpectedly, he found a closed ghost market where something happened, directly related to the local Ghost Wealth God. The detailed information is of high authority.

It’s not that Wen Yan is settling scores; he is genuinely undertaking official business, though during the process, he might uncover the attackers.

Throughout the conversation, Wen Yan did not mention the few ghosts brought back nor emphasize uncovering the attackers.

The General Director pondered, returned to his desk, found the relevant information, and after looking for a few minutes, made a sound of contemplation, saying.

“The authorization has been given to you, you can look at it yourself, but those without authorization cannot look at it, you understand?

“Understood.”

Wen Yan checked his phone and saw a notification of authorization for some relevant information.

“The General Director is open, rest assured, I will definitely follow through with this matter!”

The General Director wordlessly waved his hand, and Wen Yan happily left.

Seeing Wen Yan grinning as he left the door, even closing it behind him, the General Director pondered for a moment and made a phone call to Fuyu Mountain.

“Hey, has your martial uncle awakened? I have something to inquire about.”

“It’s like this, I want to ask, what exactly is the situation with Cai Qidong? Can he still stand up? Over here, he is needed back in Nanwu County to shoulder the responsibility.”

“Okay, I understand.”

After hanging up the phone, the General Director sighed. Wen Yan really knows how to stir things up, bringing a bunch of ghosts into Capital City, and the next day, using a reason he couldn’t refuse, sought permissions.

Simply speaking about the ghost matter, no one has ever done such a thing before.

With permissions in hand, Wen Yan clutched his phone and headed out, almost reaching the main entrance when he heard someone saying that Old Li had been squatting outside the interrogation room corridor since early morning and was still there.

Wen Yan thought for a moment, then turned around and went back, heading to the interrogation room floor. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw Old Li wearing glasses on the bridge of his nose, holding his phone far away, glancing at it before looking up.

As soon as Wen Yan appeared, Old Li saw him and immediately stood up.

“Brother, let’s go find a place to sit down?”

Old Li glanced back, and before he could say anything, Wen Yan laughed and said.

“Let’s go, brother.”

He took Old Li out of the Scorching Sun Department unit and found a teahouse across the street.

After just sitting down and pouring the tea, Old Li raised his teacup, a face full of guilt.

“For the matters concerning our Li Clan, letting you take such a risk is truly regrettable, so I offer tea as substitute for wine and first thank you, brother. In the future, should there be any need for our Li Clan, just say the word, whether going through trials by fire or sword, the Li Clan has people who aren’t afraid to die.”

“Brother, please stop, sit down, this matter truly has nothing to do with you all.”

Wen Yan spoke genuinely, the incident where he was attacked had nothing to do with inviting souls from the Li Clan.

However, despite Wen Yan’s words, Old Li didn’t believe a single word.

He was well aware of the conditions on the Nether Path, where any slight imprudence leads to complete loss, and being attacked there multiplies an already immense risk by ten.

If in his place, he wouldn’t even know how to ensure personal safety and still walk out of the Nether Path.

Not to mention, he had just said in the daytime that Wen Yan wouldn’t sleep at night to help him.

“To be honest, brother, reaching this age, I have truly never seen someone as sincere as you.”

“Brother, stop praising me, it’s quite embarrassing, I tried yesterday and couldn’t summon any of the individuals from the information you provided, something seems peculiar, I was just about to tell you.”

It can be confirmed; their souls appear not to have dissipated, but for some reason, none can be summoned.”

Furthermore, the reason for failing to summon might not be uniform.”

As for specifics, my ability is limited, knowledge limited, so I’m unclear.”

Old Li, hearing this, wasn’t disappointed and instead was relieved.

“This is already the best news recently, as long as the souls remain, there might still be hope, if they’re dissipated, then there’s no way to retrieve them.

To achieve this result is already the best outcome possible, though it led to you taking risks…

Don’t worry, brother, this time you need not concern yourself. I will follow this matter from start to finish.”

“Brother, don’t strain yourself, get some rest early tonight, whatever will be, will be. This is the headquarters, surely there will be no accidents.”

At this point, Wen Yan glanced at Old Li, seemingly intending to continue holding on, he persuaded him a bit further.
