Chapter 174:  154 Evolve! Space Transcendent! Visiting, Killing, Collecting Debts (Two in one, seeking monthly pass)_2
At this moment, both of them nodded in agreement.

It had been a while since Pei Jinye heard someone muttering in his ear about how to “lay low,” and he was a bit unaccustomed to it.

Zhou Ye seemed to have grown used to this long ago, perfunctorily nodding his head before continuing to eat.

“After you’re full, go back and get some good sleep,” Brother Bi glanced at the time and yawned, saying, “Anyway, we have two more hours. If there really is a problem with this research institute, we will be able to detect it when we get there. If it turns out to be fine, showing up early is just a waste of time.”

Zhou Ye gave a thumbs up.

He had only heard about how lazy Brother Bi was, but now he was truly experiencing it.

However, to meet the KPI, he had no choice but to lay low with them.

Lifting his head to meet Pei Jinye’s gaze, Zhou Ye nodded with a simple, honest smile.

Back at the dormitory.

Pei Jinye fell into deep thought.

He had no idea what Brother Bi had uncovered initially that brought about Jiang Suhu’s assassination attempt.

But as of his current thinking… best not to startle the snake by hitting the grass too soon.

Pei Jinye knew all too well that once he set off Jiang Suhu’s trail, then Jiang Qingcang’s would follow suit, and the events of last time would play out once again.

Then his rebirth would become meaningless.

Jiang Suhu could not be exposed yet.

At least not until Jiang Qingcang is killed!

Sitting on his bed, Pei Jinye took out a pen and began writing and erasing on a piece of paper.

“Light Slash… an area of effect attack, convenient for infiltration.”

Pei Jinye sank into thought.

“If I could master Xu Tian’s ability beforehand, infiltrating the Jiang family would be much more convenient… No.”

Suddenly, Pei Jinye had another thought.

“Killing him quietly seems to have more benefits than killing him under everyone’s gaze.”

“Then the difficulty of taking action would increase… If there were some way to trap him…”

Pei Jinye drew a circle on the paper.

Then he wrote down a name.

[Black Shark]!

The spatial solidification of Black Shark would ensure that when he killed Jiang Qingcang, it wouldn’t alarm others.

Pei Jinye closed his eyes and sank into thought.

He kept reenacting and reviewing the feasibility of this mission over and over again.

If he Devoured Jiang Suhu’s Clear Brain right now, he feared all these problems would be but a thought away from clarity.

“Ah… there are too many people to kill.”

Pei Jinye stretched out his hand.

The paper in the palm of his hand spontaneously combusted.

He suddenly thought of Xie Zuxin’s death the night before.

Even though he had dealt with the scene, for the Investigation Team, finding the traces of fire was only a matter of time.

But what did that have to do with him, Pei Jinye?

The one who had acted was a Transcendent of the Element Series, what did that have to do with him, a Psychic Class?

Just after three in the afternoon.

Brother Bi, bringing Pei Jinye and Zhou Ye, finally arrived fashionably late.

The person in charge of the research institute changed his expression upon seeing the credentials Brother Bi provided: “A toxic gas leak? How is that possible?”

“Possible or not, we’ll know once we check,” Brother Bi put away the credentials and looked at the flustered expression of the person in charge, “Are you hiding something?”

“How could I?” The person in charge quickly stepped aside, allowing Brother Bi to begin the search.

Brother Bi didn’t bother with the man, but instead said to Pei Jinye, “Old rules, start detecting, and you take notes.”

Pei Jinye took out the scanner.

Zhou Ye followed by his side, looking around.

“Air pollution index Fourth-level, trace amounts of toxic gas…” Brother Bi said, turning his head to address the person in charge, “You guys breathe in this toxic gas everyday, aren’t you afraid of dying? Go get a medical checkup when you have time.”

The person in charge forced a smile behind them.

Soon.

The group went to the monitoring room.

“Where are the surveillance data for here?” Zhou Ye pointed at one of the black screens and asked the person in charge.

The person in charge said unhurriedly, “It broke a while back, they’ve been saying they’d fix it but it never happened.”

“Note that down,” Brother Bi turned his head and instructed Pei Jinye.

After recording, before leaving, Pei Jinye excused himself to use the restroom at the research institute. Brother Bi went back to the car with Zhou Ye first, the two tacitly starting to smoke.

Pei Jinye flicked the water droplets from his hands into the sink and looked at himself in the mirror.

As if he was completely unaware.

Just as he turned to leave, he saw the person in charge waiting in the hallway, who stepped forward and handed him a red envelope, “Brother, give a little leeway.”

Pei Jinye immediately refused the red envelope, “Don’t get me into trouble.”

“How would this be troubling you, brother? It’s just that I want to know what’s really going on with my research institute. I haven’t reported anything to the police, and suddenly being investigated makes the staff suspicious,” said the person in charge ingratiatingly, pushing the red envelope again.

Pei Jinye pretended as though he didn’t see the red envelope in his pocket and casually said, “We also received a report claiming there was an unusual smell here. Be careful when conducting experiments and ensure you take protective measures.”

“Could there be any trouble with our laboratories?”

“What kind of trouble could there be?” Pei Jinye said with a light laugh, “It’s quite normal for laboratory gases to leak; just avoid being reported for a short period, and we won’t interfere with your experiments.”

“That’s great, that must have been done by our business competitors!” the person in charge exclaimed righteously.

Pei Jinye watched the man’s charade with a smirk and, without exposing him, issued a mock warning before leaving the research institute.

The person in charge stood at the entrance, watching as Pei Jinye and the others drove away. It wasn’t long before the smile on his face completely faded, and he looked around coldly before turning to enter the research institute.
