Modern World's Martial Dao Human Immortal

The entire Dayu Country's Grand Procuratorate system follows a strict rank-based division.

The Grand Procuratorate overseeing all national prosecutorial departments, the Higher Prosecution Office responsible for a province's significant tasks, and the local Procuratorates handling city-specific matters, are clearly stratified.

The entire prosecutorial system has more than twenty thousand prosecutors.

They operate independently of the Security Bureau, local governments, and the judicial system, reporting directly to the Royal Family.

Although the head of each Higher Prosecution Office is just a Fourth Level official, their status is equivalent to a Governor of a province.

At this time, in the Tian Nan Higher Prosecution Office.

Xia Wuyuan, who had been busy all day, returned to the Tian Nan capital before Alkaid and brought with him the documents prepared overnight, arriving at the office of the Senior Deputy Prosecutor of the Higher Prosecution Office, where Zhou Tianqiao, the second-in-command of the Tian Nan Higher Prosecution Office, was waiting.

However, after the Senior Deputy Prosecutor reviewed the documents Xia Wuyuan prepared overnight, he set them aside.

"Deputy Prosecutor, according to my investigation, Yulong International is just a front. There are others behind it; we have seen their cargo lists... thousands of people! In just a year, thousands have disappeared through Yulong International!"

Xia Wuyuan said gravely, "This kind of behavior is outright monstrous! We must investigate thoroughly and cannot let those criminals go unpunished!"

"Investigate, of course, we must investigate."

Zhou Tianqiao looked at his capable subordinate, "However, the noise you've made at Yulong International is ultimately too great; even the Governor has inquired about this matter. If this news gets out, the negative impact will be severe, detrimental to the harmonious and stable image of our Tian Nan Province."

Xia Wuyuan was momentarily startled, then hastily added, "Deputy, although it will cause some impact, if we ignore it…"

"Don't worry; you misunderstood my point."

Zhou Tianqiao raised his hand to interrupt Xia Wuyuan's earnest argument: "Our duty in the prosecution office is to monitor all sorts of miscreants and illegal activities locally. Since we know there are dirty hands behind Yulong International that have not been exposed, we cannot give up halfway; however, given the significance of this situation, we still need more evidence…"

"I can continue to gather more evidence!"

Xia Wuyuan spoke emphatically.

Zhou Tianqiao glanced at him, noticing his firm resolve.

He silently sighed inwardly, altering his tone, "We can investigate, yes, but it must be done quietly, covertly, ensuring that those behind the scenes do not get alerted, to avoid failing at the last hurdle."

He continued, "From a public opinion perspective, this matter needs to be suppressed quickly. It's not good for too many people below to know too much. If not handled well, the victims' families might stir up troubles, potentially leading to mass incidents. What then? They have already lost their loved ones, family, we surely cannot detain them, right? We should always be people-oriented in our approach."

The Deputy Prosecutor spoke earnestly and profoundly.

Upon hearing this, Xia Wuyuan also gradually calmed down.

He understood that exposing this matter would inevitably cause a huge disturbance, and would severely negatively impact the local government. It might even trigger a political upheaval in Tian Nan, yet if it continues to be covered up…

"Xia Wuyuan!"

Zhou Tianqiao suddenly called out.

"I am here, please instruct."

Xia Wuyuan immediately focused his mind.

"Since you are confident, have faith, I will continue to entrust you with this investigation. Conduct it secretly and you must root out the hidden culprits behind the Yulong International event, dare you accept!?"

"I dare!"

Xia Wuyuan said solemnly.

"Good!"

Zhou Tianqiao nodded slightly, "To avoid alerting the targets, the prosecution office won't be able to make any major moves to support you, so you'll have to rely on yourself and also strive to keep the impact as minimal as possible… If it were someone else, I'd be somewhat worried, doubting if they could handle such a perilous task, but you're different."

He looked at Xia Wuyuan, smiling, "You are our Tian Nan's most capable officer, first place in the shooting competition each year, first in the physical cross-country, known as the unmatched Xia Wuyuan, the Chief Prosecutor of our Tian Nan Prosecutor's Office. I believe, you can definitely root out those hidden culprits and bring them to justice."

"Thank you for your trust, Deputy, leave it to me; I won't let you down."

Xia Wuyuan nodded earnestly.

"Good, truly worthy of being called unmatched."

Zhou Tianqiao smiled, "If you can indeed solve this case and root out the big malignancy hidden within our Tian Nan Province, Yunmeng City, Longxiang City, Shanlong City… any of these prosecutorial heads are yours to choose from, this achievement is more than enough to earn you any of those positions."

Having said this, he encouraged Xia Wuyuan a few more times before letting him go.

Xia Wuyuan bid farewell and left.

And as he exited the door, despite having stayed up all night, he was still full of energy, yet there was a hint of exhaustion in his eyes.

After glancing at the office door that was already closed behind him, he let out a slight breath.

Yet soon, his expression became determined again.

No matter that he didn't get more support, so what?

Grandmaster!

A single person can form an army, kill enemies, and breach cities!

...

"Tian Nan capital, we've arrived."

Caiyun mentioned from the driver's seat.

Through the window, Alkaid glanced outside.

The scene that met his eyes bustled with people and traffic, surrounded by towering buildings.

"Ever since the strong capital strategy was implemented across all provinces sixteen years ago, the development of Tian Nan capital has been remarkably rapid. Although Tian Nan is known for net outmigration, in these few decades, the population of the capital has still doubled from just over four million to more than eight million, bringing about an immediate economic boost. To this day, the GDP of the capital has already surpassed six hundred billion."

Su Yaoyu knew that Alkaid was not interested in these details, yet he deliberately infused the reference for his benefit.

To avoid looking ignorant and hurting my impression after meeting the Family Head.

"Six hundred billion."

Alkaid glanced at it.

If this six hundred billion were given to him...

[Businessman] How much experience would need to be added to the profession?

And if transferred to a [Martial Artist], wouldn't it potentially catapult him to Fifth or even Sixth Rank directly?

The vehicle moved forward.

It soon stopped in front of a building that was 49 stories high.

Xingyu Center.

Although this building was not the tallest in Tian Nan, it was located at the very center of the Hexi New District and was one of the most prestigious calling cards of the area.

The vehicle entered the underground garage, took the elevator, and went straight to the tenth floor.

The headquarters of Bu Zhou Group were located on the eighty-ninth to ninety-third floors of this building.

The tenth floor was entirely occupied by company executives.

As Su Yaoyu and her group entered, many people greeted her.

She nodded in response to each of them and arranged for Caiyun and Lin Xiaowei in the resting area.

Then, she continued further inside with Alkaid.

However, just before entering an office, a woman in her thirties, exuding maturity and an elite demeanor, approached them, "Miss Yaoyu, the chairman is currently in a meeting; it might take a bit longer. Please wait in the lounge for a moment."

"In a meeting?"

Su Yaoyu glanced at the time, "Sister Lin, I had an appointment with Grandfather at two thirty this afternoon..."

"The meeting is quite important, so the chairman is unavailable at the moment. I'll notify the chairman as soon as the meeting is over,"

The woman surnamed Lin said.

Seeing this, Su Yaoyu nodded and turned to Alkaid, "We will wait then."

The woman glanced at Su Alkaid, seemingly remembering something, then quickly smiled, "This must be Master Alkaid, right? The chairman will be delighted to know you're back, please come this way."

As she spoke, she led them into a lavishly decorated tea room that stretched over fifty to sixty square meters.

Soon after, a female executive dressed in a business suit prepared tea and pastries for them.

"Bu Zhou Group has reached its peak in Tian Nan, and the next step is to expand nationwide. However, we've encountered some difficulties in this strategy. Recently, Grandfather has been extremely busy, sometimes even resting at the Bu Zhou Group headquarters, and currently cannot find the time to meet you, Alkaid. Please, don't read too much into it,"

Su Yaoyu explained.

"I understand,"

Alkaid nodded slightly.

Su Family's patriarch Su Chiming, at seventy this year, started trying to let go of his responsibilities and prepare for retirement two years ago.

However, although the business talent he groomed, Su Huaigu, had genius skills, his influence and maneuverability obviously couldn't match that of Su Chiming.

Additionally, as Bu Zhou Group was at the critical phase of going nationwide, Huaigu had encountered various problems after taking over for a year or two, forcing Su Chiming to personally take charge and handle the affairs again.

Su Yaoyu and Alkaid waited together.

Just after ten minutes, instead of Su Chiming, Su Huaiyue arrived first, led by Secretary Lin.

Seeing Su Huaiyue in her formal attire, Su Yaoyu immediately guessed something, and her expression slightly changed.

"Yaoyu, Alkaid,"

However, Su Huaiyue, with a full smile, greeted them and quickly stepped forward to Alkaid, "It's been a few years, and Alkaid has grown so much. Come, let your aunt have a good look at you."

Alkaid looked at her and nodded slightly.

But he did not say anything.

Just glanced outside.

"It seems, the Family Head already knows I'm here, just that in his view, it's more important to understand my stance through you before meeting, right?"

"Alkaid, what are you saying? Your aunt heard you were here and immediately came after dropping everything. Also, I have prepared a gift I wanted to give you for some time,"

Su Huaiyue said, and immediately an assistant behind her brought forward a document, "You don't have a place to stay in the capital yet, right? This is the property deed for Villa no. 16 in Half Moon Bay, consider it a gift from your aunt to welcome you."

Currently, the average house price in the capital is around twenty thousand.

As a high-end villa neighborhood in the capital, acquiring a house in Half Moon Bay is definitely worth over ten million.

"No need to rush; since the Family Head knows we are here and let you meet us, it proves that his meeting is not as crucial as imagined,"

Alkaid said, then paused, "If so, please ask him to come over, so we can properly discuss our cooperation."

"Alkaid, you really upset me with what you said, how can you speak like that to your grandfather..."

Su Huaiyue frowned.

"Don't be hasty getting upset,"

Alkaid waved his hand, "You feel this way because you think my status is not equivalent to that of the Family Head. So, let's change that to equivalent status."

He looked directly at Secretary Lin waiting nearby, "Is a Grandmaster status enough?"
