Chapter 103: Chapter 103: Identity Exposed

The elder anxiously asked, “What! What’s going on here!”

“We were hunting monsters together; Tang Qiu was attacked by a monster, and then this happened!”

The elder quickly said, “Follow me!”

He swiftly walked out of the room, and Ye Chen and the others hurried to follow.

The elder strode to a room on the fourth floor, didn’t knock, and directly opened the door.

Inside sat two old men and a few people in their forties, each wearing a white coat, looking like doctors.

The oldest of the old men smiled and said, “What’s the matter, old Li, why are you in such a hurry.”

“Quickly, Xiao Qiu is poisoned, go take a look!”

The old man was also stunned, urgently saying, “What, Xiao Qiu is poisoned, where is she!”

The old man looked at Tang Qiu who was in Ye Chen’s arms, hurried forward, and asked Ye Chen to carry Tang Qiu into an operating room.

…

Ye Chen and the others stood outside the door waiting, feeling a bit anxious inside.

Minister Li was not as anxious as before, he looked at Ye Chen and said, “Are you friends of Xiao Qiu?”

Ye Chen nodded, smiling, “Ye Chen.”

Minister Li was initially stunned, then nodded and said, “Don’t worry, there’s nothing wrong.”

His tone was very confident, making people unconsciously relax.

Ye Chen sighed in relief and nodded.

Minister Li looked Ye Chen and company up and down, then smiled and said, “Xiao Qiu mentioned you all to me, you saved her once before, thank you.”

Ye Chen waved his hand and smiled, “No need to be polite, Minister Li, Tang Qiu is our friend.”

Minister Li showed a meaningful smile, his eyes looking at Ye Chen growing brighter.

Such an expression was like that of a father-in-law seeing a particularly satisfactory son-in-law.

Just then, many people were passing by in the corridor; upon seeing Minister Li, they stopped to bow and greet him.

Obviously, he held a very high status within the Law Enforcement Alliance.

Ye Chen felt a bit uneasy under Minister Li’s gaze, and joked, “Minister Li, is there something on my face?”

Minister Li realized it wasn’t proper to keep staring at Ye Chen, laughed dryly and said, “Haha, no, no. You’re all Xiao Qiu’s friends, there’s no need to keep calling me Minister Li, my name is Li Jingshan, and you can call me Uncle Li.”

Ye Chen nodded, greeting, “Hello, Uncle Li.”

Li Jingshan laughed in response, “As Xiao Qiu mentioned, you are currently unattached, not part of any alliance?”

Ye Chen nodded.

Li Jingshan seemed to want to say more, when someone approached and respectfully said to him, “Minister Li, you’re needed in a meeting.”

Li Jingshan was a bit displeased upon hearing this but still nodded, “Alright, very well.”

Subsequently, Li Jingshan said to Ye Chen, “Please watch over things for me, I’ll be back right after the meeting.”

“Sure, you go ahead, Uncle Li!”

As Li Jingshan’s back disappeared, Ye Chen exhaled deeply.

Ye Chen always felt that Li Jingshan was somewhat unfathomable; though he seemed like a simple elder and spoke kindly, those eyes of his looked far from simple.

It was as if they could see through one’s mind.

Moreover, Li Jingshan exuded a unique aura.

Ye Chen knew that the respect toward Li Jingshan from those people wasn’t just from subordinates to a superior.

But reverence, and fear.

This Li Jingshan was absolutely not as simple as he seemed.

Not long after.

The door of the operating room opened, but Tang Qiu didn’t get pushed out; instead, she directly walked out.

Ye Chen and his companions were slightly taken aback.

“Isn’t that so fast?”

From the moment Tang Qiu entered the operating room until she came out, it had only been a matter of minutes.

Looking at Tang Qiu now, she appeared very spirited, seemingly completely recovered.

Ye Chen couldn’t help but marvel at the Law Enforcement Alliance’s medical prowess.

Tang Qiu smiled and said, “Made you wait long?”

Ye Chen smiled and said, “No problem.”

Zhu Qiang rushed forward, “Tang Qiu, are you alright now?”

Tang Qiu tidied her hair and smiled, “Yes, I’m fine now.”

Ye Chen noticed that many people were eyeing him from the corners.

He understood in his heart that their group was listed on the Wanted Order, and lingering in the Law Enforcement Alliance was rude.

Ye Chen said to Tang Qiu, “Good to know you’re fine, we’ll be on our way then.”

After speaking, Ye Chen and his group prepared to leave, but Tang Qiu followed them.

“I’ll escort you out.”

Ye Chen nodded, feeling grateful for Tang Qiu’s company, making their exit unobstructed.

Outside the safe zone, Ye Chen and his companions bid farewell to Tang Qiu and turned away.

On the road.

Yu Nian sighed, “The Law Enforcement Alliance’s medical standards are impressive, things not even the Qi Blood Pill could remedy were handled quickly by them.”

Ye Chen laughed, “It’s the Law Enforcement Alliance after all, backed by numerous resources, things beyond our imagination.”

The group smiled wryly, noting that it was getting late, and planned to find a place to spend the night.

Meanwhile.

In the Law Enforcement Alliance meeting room.

Li Jingshan had just finished a meeting, stepping out with a face full of worries.

He returned to his office and called for Tang Qiu.

Tang Qiu entered the room, noticing Li Jingshan’s uneasy expression, asked, “Master, what’s wrong?”

Li Jingshan didn’t respond, instead taking out a video for Tang Qiu to watch.

Tang Qiu opened the video with curiosity, and upon watching, her expression changed dramatically, “Master! This! What is this!”

The video showed the Vajra Ape carrying people across a river, capturing their backs, but only Tang Qiu’s face was visible.

Li Jingshan said, “Our insider in the Smiling Alliance sent this, that pet is the same one that recently seized the Smiling Alliance’s Hell Secret Realm, and this video captured your image. Our meeting just discussed this matter, the blackface of the Smiling Alliance thinks our Law Enforcement Alliance took over his Hell Secret Realm.”

Tang Qiu’s face was complicated, she said, “Master, you…”

Before Tang Qiu could finish, Li Jingshan interrupted, “I know this matter has nothing to do with you; it wasn’t you who seized the Hell Secret Realm but Ye Chen’s group.”

“I didn’t mean that, Master, I meant, you haven’t told the higher-ups, right!”

Li Jingshan smiled and said, “Of course not, Ye Chen and the others are good kids, they’ve saved you twice and made considerable contributions on your behalf. They’re not simple, and I like them very much.”

Relieved that Li Jingshan hadn’t reported to the higher-ups, Tang Qiu sighed.

Tang Qiu nervously asked, “What did the higher-ups say?”

Li Jingshan stood, hands behind his back and said, “The top knows it’s not you who took it. If it were indeed our Law Enforcement Alliance’s doing, it would be fine, but since it isn’t, while we aren’t afraid of the Smiling Alliance, right now, we don’t want unnecessary trouble during such a critical time.”

Tang Qiu still didn’t understand Li Jingshan’s meaning and looked at him puzzled.
