Chapter 167: Officer Lam's phone number

After sensing what Jiang Luo was thinking, Monkey jumped angrily to his feet and pointed at Jiang Luo's nose with a "chirp".

Monkey is the most hot-tempered of the twelve zodiac signs in the Yin-Yang Ring, and it has a strong opinion of Jiang Luo because Jiang Luo didn't summon it first. At the moment of crisis, such a naughty person came out, Jiang Luo watched it jumping, his heart is even more desperate.

The more he did this, the angrier Monkey got. He even fell on the ground, pointed his butt at Jiang Luo, and instead of dealing with Lian Xue, he used his two paws to frantically rake back the snow on the ground, and covered Jiang Luo's face with snow from the cracks of his hind legs.

Jiang Luo: "......"

The next moment, Lian Xue's attack came after him. Jiang Luo narrowly dodged it, forcing a large gash in his down jacket.

This is not good.

Jiang Luo had already given up on Monkey, and was about to come up with another idea when Monkey, as if enraged, stood up and pointed at Lian Xue again, screaming angrily, as if he was angry with Lian Xue for attacking Jiang Luo.

Lian Xue lightly glanced at Monkey, she gently opened her hand, the snow on the ground flew up, surrounding her as the center, and gradually turned into a snow globe that was strong enough to crush people.

Snow globes were lifted out of the air by her hands, and black shadows enveloped Jiang Luo.

Jiang Luo's right eyelid jumped several times in a row, he hugged Monkey and climbed up from the snow, ran outside with all his strength.

Lian Xue, without expression, threw the snowball towards Jiang Luo, the snowball that broke through the air gradually approached Jiang Luo, Jiang Luo's frown was tightly wrinkled, trying to move his weak legs.

Seeing that he was about to be hit by a snowball, the monkey in his arms suddenly struggled and jumped out of Jiang Luo's embrace, crawled down Jiang Luo's thighs to the ground, and fiercely hugged Jiang Luo's legs.

In the next instant, Jiang Luo and the monkey suddenly disappeared.

"With a bang, the snowball hit the ground. Lian Xue tilted her head and looked at where Jiang Luo had disappeared.

She walked over and moved the snowball out of the way, crouched down, reached down and gently swept the snow off the ground, and saw a green, finger-thick vine branch emerge from the frigid ground covered in layers of snow.

The vibrant vine touched Lian Xue's finger, and it grew so fast that it climbed on Lian Xue's finger and spread upwards, and Lian Xue let go of his hand and stood up.

Hilltop.

The Fated Man opened his eyes and said thoughtfully, "Jiang Luo did psychicize the wood."

"At the last minute, he escaped by borrowing the vines underground."

"Good thing," the Fated Man sighed, "the wood spirit isn't strong, but at least it won't worry me."

Ji Yaozi used Yu Guang to look at Daoist Wei He's soulful demeanor and asked, "Worried about what?"

The Nemesis didn't answer.

He looks out the window and remembers Jiang Luo's words threatening him in the middle of his inner landscape.

At least there's no need to worry.

Jiang Luo will prevent him from becoming a god.

"You are very different to Jiang Luo," Ji Yaozi said testily, "You once told me that God is fair and never favors the many."

The Predestined Man once said that everything in the world was the same in his eyes. A shovelful of earth or a human life makes no difference to him. He could fraternize with all beings, but he would not look at someone differently.

Such statements go to the root of the matter and reveal God's indifference.

But the Nemesis was different for Jiang Luo, from start to finish.

But is the favoritism from the false gods a blessing or a curse for Jiang Luo?

The Fated Man said, "He may be the next me."

Ji Yaozi froze.

The Predator looked back at him, his light colored eyes as if transparent in the light, and he laughed, "How can favoring a false god be confused with a human."

*

When Jiang Luo was dragged into the ground, he never imagined that his monkey would be an earth monkey that could take him to the ground.

After reacting, Jiang Luo immediately pulled out the ginseng essence from his schoolbag. He thought of the delicate rose as big as a peony in the ginseng spirit's care, so he could use the ginseng spirit's tears to induce the hibernating seeds to fool the Fated One.

The ginseng doll cried in resignation, tears dripping from her eyes, and the vine seeds quickly sprouted and grew, breaking out of the ground.

Jiang Luo held his breath as he listened to the commotion outside, and after a few moments, the ginseng spirit rubbed his whiskers against him and tearfully said, "Dad, there's no one up there."

Jiang Luo marveled, "You can hear voices up there?"

The snow sucked out the sound of walking footsteps. Jiang Luo heard nothing, but the ginseng doll did.

"I am a five hundred year old ginseng spirit ah," the ginseng doll said rightfully, "I buried in the ground for five hundred years, I can hear the movements on the ground for miles around! If it wasn't for your master being so cunning, I wouldn't have been caught by him ......"

It huffed and puffed and started cursing Feng Li again.

Jiang Luo was accustomed to his fat guts, and after he knew that the ground was clear, he struggled to crawl out of the hole in the ground with a grimy face in the narrow space. Monkey jumped out right after him, sitting disdainfully on Jiang Luo's head with his arms wrapped around his chest and grunting several times.

Jiang Luo didn't dare to stop and ran straight down the mountain, not forgetting to praise Monkey. All the way to the foot of the mountain, Monkey was finally happy with his compliments and went back to the Yin-Yang ring happily by himself.

After descending the mountain, Jiang Luo did not go back to the Lian family's ancestral home, but walked towards the mountain field on foot.

Lian's ancestral home is in the deep forest, a mountain road is not a few cars a day back and forth. Jiang Luo is ready to walk to the cell phone signal time to Lu Youyi call, let him come to pick up people. But Jiang Luo did not expect, Jiang Luo only walked up an hour, met a familiar car.

The limousine pulled up beside him, the window opened, and Zhuo Zhongqiu looked at him in surprise, "You went down the mountain?"

"No, why are you in this shape? Did you fall down the mountain?"

Jiang Luo was caught off guard when he saw them, he remembered the last night's dream in which they were pasted on the window with deformed cheeks and dumbfounded expressions, his face changed slightly and he pretended to be calm and said, "There is a problem, not much. The court hearing is in two days, so I'm going down to prepare for it. Why did you guys come over?"

The distance between Lian's house and the city center was far, and it would take four or five hours to drive, and looking at them like this, they should have rushed over as soon as they woke up in the morning.

"We are here to look for you ......" Zhuo Zhongqiu said in a sentence, "Last night's dream ...... well ...... Forget it, you get in the car first."

When they woke up early this morning, several of them looked at each other, still remembering clearly the last scene in the dream. After they were sure they were right, they rushed to Lian's house to look for Jiang Luo.

Didn't we break up? Why are you kissing me again?

Jiang Luo had already guessed what Zhuo Zhongqiu was going to say. He touched his nose and got into the car with a little embarrassment and shame.

Apart from Zhuo Zhongqiu, there were also Wen Renlian and Ye Xun. Ye Xun's eyes were burning, he originally had a lot of words to ask Jiang Luo, but after seeing Jiang Luo's lousy appearance, he thoughtfully swallowed his words back into his stomach, and took a wet towel and handed it to Jiang Luo to wipe his hands.

Jiang Luo slowly wiped his hands clean, and briefly arranged his hair. From time to time, he felt the gaze of the other three men, one after another, making Jiang Luo fidget a little.

The atmosphere was a bit subtle and weird, Wenren Lian sat on the co-pilot, half unable to hold back a smile, opened his mouth to give Jiang Luo an excuse, ''Alright, alright, let's not talk about anything else. Jiang Luo, you and Ye Xun sleep for a while. It will take more than four hours to go back. Zhongqiu, wait until the next service station, I will switch driving with you?"

Zhuo Zhongqiu withdrew his eyes from the rearview mirror as he peeked at Jiang Luo and coughed twice, "Okay."

Jiang Luo took the steps handed by Wen Renlian and leaned his head sideways against the window, closing his eyes and pretending to rest.

Without realizing it, he literally fell asleep with the car window swaying. When he woke up again, it was the noise of the crowd outside the window that woke him up.

Jiang Luo slowly opened his eyes and quietly looked at the bustling traffic jam outside and the crowds of people shopping on both sides of the road. He picked up his cell phone, which had been vibrating constantly since just now.

Since connecting to the signal, the full stream of messages bubbled up, and the phone was stuck for a good ten seconds.

There were dozens of missed calls, and in addition to the missed calls from Lu Youyi and the others, there were a dozen or so calls from Officer Lin, the latest of which was exactly yesterday.

Jiang Luo raised his eyebrows and dialed back, and within a few seconds, the other party picked up the phone.

"Is it Mr. Jiang?" Officer Lin's tone didn't sound very anxious.

Jiang Luo's voice was still slightly hoarse from just waking up, "It's me, Officer Lin, you wanted to see me?"

"There is something," Officer Lam said, "Mr. Kong, I want to thank you for pointing us in the direction of the blood eel. You're right, the blood eel is related to the Chi family, and it's very much related. After this month or so of hard work, we've gathered a lot of evidence, and now we're just waiting for the end of the Xuan Ling Joint Office's court hearing before we can arrest them."

Jiang Luo couldn't help but smile as he relaxed against the seat, his dark hair on the verge of curling into his down jacket, "Congratulations."

"It's also thanks to you," Officer Lin suddenly lowered his voice, "Mr. Jiang, is it convenient to talk on your side?"

Jiang Luo swept a glance over his companions in the car, yawned lazily, and said, "Convenient."

Officer Lin sighed in relief and his voice returned to normal, "It's like this. When we were investigating the Blood Eel case, we incidentally found out a lot of things about corruption in the upper echelons of the metaphysical world. The state has always been bad at meddling more in the affairs of the metaphysical world, but investigating it like this has opened all of our eyes, and the state is now aware of these things as well. The upper echelons have the intention to severely investigate and rectify the metaphysical world, but we can't find a suitable point to intervene. At this time, I remembered you, Mr. Jiang, you took the initiative to provide me with information even at your own risk, and your file is good, so you can be seen as a good comrade! That's why I recommended you to the higher-ups. This is to ask you, Mr. Jiang, do you have any idea of cooperating with us?"

Jiang Luo frowned and sat up, "Cooperation?"

Officer Lin said, "It's not convenient to say on the call exactly how to cooperate, if it's convenient, Mr. Jiang, can you make time to meet with us after your court hearing?"

Jiang Luo remained silent for a while and glanced at the three Ye Xun people who were listening to the conversation with their ears open. Their hearing and vision were higher than those of ordinary people, and Jiang Luo hadn't made any special effort to hide it, so they must have heard Officer Lin's words as well.

Jiang Luo thought of the way they had died in their sleep last night, a world diametrically opposed to the peaceful and safe environment outside the window of the same car. He paused for a long time and whispered back, "Okay. But when the time comes, can I bring a few friends along?"

Jiang Luo's and Chi You's goals partially overlap, as he wants to protect the people he wants to protect, but he also doesn't want to let go of the Qi and Chi families who frequently set him up, as well as the nemesis who tried to brainwash him into taking advantage of him.

Jiang Luo is not a good person, but he's not an evil spirit either. He won't use ghostly means, so let's use human means.

Officer Lin said, "Is it a friend you can trust?"

Jiang Luo smiled, "Right."

"Then we welcome it! Very welcome!" Officer Lin was overjoyed, "We were afraid that there wouldn't be enough people and no one to work with us!"

Hanging up the phone, Jiang Luo turned around and asked, "Did you guys hear that?"

The three men nodded silently.

Jiang Luo looked to Zhuo Zhongqiu.

Among the three people, only Zhuo Zhongqiu has the deepest involvement with the six families. Zhuo Zhongqiu saw his eyes in the rearview mirror, she thought deeply for a moment, ''Our family is the one with the shallowest roots among the six great families. It doesn't even have many disciples, and it still needs me to go to twelve colleges and universities to pull in talent, I know what kind of person my father is, and our family is absolutely at peace with itself, even if it's being scrutinized, it's not afraid."

She touched her chin and made a decisive decision, "Jiang Luo, don't worry, I won't tell my dad about this. But when you go to meet with them, you have to bring me along."

Jiang Luo smiled and winked at her, "That's what I thought."

Passing by a deli on the way, Wen Renlian got out of the car and bought a few dishes. After returning to Lu Youyi's apartment, Jiang Luo just entered the door, and before he took off his shoes, he was fixed in place by a pair of eyes cast over him.

Lu Youyi said in a loud and anxious voice, "Jiang Luo, I saw you and Chi You boinking in my dream last night, what's going on with you guys again, getting back together?"
