Chapter 804: Unloading the Millstone and Killing the Donkey
Thanks to Yang Haoran's elixir, Captain Luo, who was severely injured, successfully escaped danger. However, due to the severity of his injuries, he did not wake up.
The doctor also said that Captain Luo would not be able to recover in the short term, but there was no need to worry excessively, as his life was already saved, and it was only a matter of time before he woke up.
With the doctor's guarantee, they didn't have anything to worry about, as long as Captain Luo's life was saved, even if he woke up late.
This time, the mission had caused significant losses to the Spirit Police. If it weren't for Bai Xue, the great demon, the Spirit Police's losses would have been even greater.
Captain Luo was in a coma, so all the internal affairs of the Spirit Police naturally fell on Deputy Captain Zhou's shoulders. He needed to report the gains and losses of the mission to the Director of Administration, comfort the injured Spirit Police, and handle the aftermath of the deceased Spirit Police, among other things.
These tasks were originally supposed to be handled by him and Captain Luo, but with Captain Luo severely injured and in a coma, he was unable to handle any of these tasks, at least not in the short term. So, all these tasks fell on Deputy Captain Zhou's shoulders alone.
After ensuring Captain Luo's life was saved, Deputy Captain Zhou had many things to attend to, and only then did he feel at ease leaving the treatment room.
Compared to Deputy Captain Zhou, Bai Xue was much more relaxed. Her role in the Spirit Police was that of a "hitman" who only needed to take action, without worrying about anything else. She didn't need to consider other things or do anything else, so she was free from worries.
So, she formed a stark contrast with Deputy Captain Zhou, who was busy to the point of being overwhelmed.
After returning to the villa, Bai Xue went to Feng Xiao's place to get some medicine for her injuries, then took a bath, changed into clean clothes, and finally came to Yang Haoran's study room.
After a conversation, Yang Haoran gained an understanding of the Demon Hunter Association sending people to Lecheng.
It turned out that Bai Xue knew about the Demon Hunter Association sending people to Lecheng because the Spirit Police had received an order from the Administrative Bureau.
The young man Yang Haoran had killed that day had parents who were demon hunters with a certain status in the Demon Hunter Association. After their son broke off contact with them, they used many methods to try to contact him, but all failed.
Finally, they decided to come to Lecheng to search for their son's whereabouts, as his last mission was in Lecheng, and they might be able to find some clues here.
To facilitate their search, the couple contacted the Lecheng Administrative Bureau as soon as they arrived, using their identities and strength to get assistance. The Administrative Bureau, of course, would not ignore them.
The Administrative Bureau agreed to help the couple search for their son, and even issued an order to the Spirit Police to assist them.
The Administrative Bureau agreed so readily because the couple's strength was impressive, and they had the Demon Hunter Association backing them. The Administrative Bureau knew its own power was limited, and it was no match for the couple, whether in a one-on-one fight or an all-out battle.
In addition to the Administrative Bureau's intention to get close to the two people, or rather, to get close to the Demon Hunter Association, that's why they are so concerned about the couple's affairs, even using the power of the Spirit Police to assist the couple in investigating this matter.
As a Spirit Police, Bai Xue naturally couldn't be unaware of this matter. Based on the couple's description of their son's appearance and clothing, she only needed to think for a moment to know that the target the couple was looking for was the young man who had harbored evil intentions towards her and was eliminated by Yang Haoran.
After completing the task, Bai Xue returned to the Spirit Police headquarters and then found an opportunity to immediately send a Sound Transmission Talisman to Yang Haoran. Her purpose was simple: to remind Yang Haoran to be cautious and not to be targeted by the other party.
"This matter may not necessarily be traced back to us, but I think we should still be cautious and avoid getting into trouble later on."
Bai Xue expressed her thoughts to Yang Haoran, and Yang Haoran nodded lightly in agreement.
"Being cautious is essential. If we can figure out the couple's approximate strength, that would be even better."
Bai Xue's face broke into a smile when she heard Yang Haoran's words.
"This matter is not easy to handle. If we don't encounter a formidable opponent, it's hard to know their true strength. However, I can try to secretly investigate and see if I can get any information. As for whether the information I get is their true strength, I can't guarantee that."
Yang Haoran thought for a moment and rejected Bai Xue's proposal.
"You may have the identity of a Spirit Police, but you are ultimately a demon, which is an undeniable fact. The other two are demon hunters. If you go to investigate them and get discovered, what do you think they will think, and what will they do?"
When Yang Haoran asked this, Bai Xue thought for a moment before responding.
"They may think I'm harboring evil intentions towards them or that I'm a suspicious person. Either way, it's not good for me."
Yang Haoran lit a cigarette and nodded at Bai Xue.
"You're right. So, for you, the best approach is to stay out of this matter and let me handle it. Just do your daily routine as usual, as if nothing has happened, and pretend you don't know anything. If I need your help, I'll notify you."
Yang Haoran wanted to know the couple's strength because if they were ordinary, he would take the initiative to attack, using his advantage of being in the shadows to quietly eliminate them and avoid this threat.
Before understanding their strength, he didn't dare to do so. If the other party's strength exceeded his control, the one who would die wouldn't be them, but him.
So, to ensure safety and avoid being passive, he wanted to know their true strength.
Letting Bai Xue handle this matter was clearly not suitable, given her identity as a demon. Demon hunters were the natural enemies of demons. If she went to investigate their strength and got discovered, it would definitely cause trouble for her.
To avoid this situation, Yang Haoran decided to let Bai Xue stay out of this matter.
"Hehe, I'll listen to Underworld Envoy big brother. Whatever Underworld Envoy big brother says, I'll do."
Bai Xue's face broke into a charming smile, and at this moment, she had removed her mask. Her voice and smile were full of temptation and magic. It wasn't just men who would find it hard to resist; even women might struggle.
However, Yang Haoran was not new to Bai Xue's charms. Over the years, he had seen her tempting behavior many times, and precisely because he had seen it so many times, he had developed a certain level of immunity. ContentpresentedbyMV|LEMP|YR.
Just as Bai Xue's words fell, she seemed to suddenly sense something. Her smile disappeared, and a puzzled expression appeared on her face. Then, in front of Yang Haoran, she took out a Sound Transmission Talisman from her independent space.
She didn't avoid Yang Haoran and, in front of him, pointed her finger at the Sound Transmission Talisman, and a man's voice came out from it.
"The Administrative Bureau is going to take action against you. Don't return to the Spirit Police headquarters for now. I'll find a way to inform Old Wu about the details. Be careful."
The owner of this voice was not just recognizable to Bai Xue, but also to Yang Haoran. It was none other than Deputy Captain Zhou, who had parted ways with them not long ago.
When they heard Deputy Captain Zhou's words, Bai Xue's smile first froze, and then a puzzled expression appeared on her face, while Yang Haoran's eyebrows furrowed slightly, and his face became contemplative.
