Chu Luo was surprised once again at Chen Xiao's ability to form a talisman out of thin air.

Chen Xiao noticed the surprised expression on Chu Luo's face, and secretly thought to himself, "This young man is indeed not simple."

After the two left the Evil Exorcism Division, Chen Xiao dismissed Chu Luo, telling him to be sure to report to the hospital on time tomorrow morning.

Meanwhile, Captain Lin returned to his office with a sullen look on his face.

As soon as he got back to his office, he immediately dialed a number. "Mr. Huang, I'm sorry, but the plan may have to change..."

Mr. Huang on the other end was silent for a moment, then said coldly, "What do you mean the plan has changed? Is it about that kid surnamed Chen?"

Captain Lin said with a worried expression, "Yes, he was just released..."

"What? Lin Cheng, are you out of your mind?"

Mr. Huang cursed, "That kid finally delivered himself to our doorstep, and you actually let him go? What were you thinking? Don't you know this kid is of utmost importance?"

Captain Lin said with a worried look, "Mr. Huang, it's not that I wanted to let him go, but the matter alarmed Mayor Mo. I had no choice..."

"Damn it, you're such a waste. I'd rather raise a dog than you!"

Mr. Huang gritted his teeth and cursed, "You missed such a golden opportunity. Now that kid will probably be wary, and it won't be so easy to catch him again!"

"Mr. Huang, is it that serious? I think that kid is just a coward. I'll find another chance to catch him. He doesn't have any power behind him, so it won't be difficult to deal with him, right?"

Captain Lin said disdainfully.

"Humph, you should know that it's always best to be careful. Forget it, just keep a close eye on him and report anything suspicious to me immediately!"

Mr. Huang snorted angrily and hung up the phone.

About a kilometer away from the Evil Exorcism Division, Chen Xiao and Luo Qian were sitting in a car. The entire conversation between Captain Lin and Mr. Huang was transmitted into their ears through a piece of jade.

It turned out that when Chen Xiao patted Captain Lin on the shoulder earlier, he casually formed a sound transmission talisman. And through this jade, they could eavesdrop on Captain Lin.

The reason Chen Xiao did this was because Luo Qian said that Captain Lin was suspicious, and the facts proved that Luo Qian's guess was correct.

There must be something fishy between Captain Lin and this Mr. Huang!

After Chen Xiao crushed the jade, he asked Luo Qian, "Can you find out the identity of this Mr. Huang?"

Now that they had eavesdropped on useful information, the sound transmission talisman was useless. Leaving it on Captain Lin might alert him, after all, there were still some capable people in the Evil Exorcism Division.

As the jade was crushed, the sound transmission talisman disappeared without a trace.

Luo Qian nodded, "It's not a big problem, and don't forget, there's also Team Leader Song. Although he's been suspended, he hasn't been idle. He's been collecting evidence of Lin's corruption."

Chen Xiao nodded and said, "Okay, I'm relieved with him around. I still need to go see Mayor Mo. If you have any progress, contact me in time."

"Shall I drive you there?"

"No need, you go find Team Leader Song now. I'll just take a taxi!"

"Alright!"

Chen Xiao got out of Luo Qian's car and then remembered that he hadn't asked Mayor Mo where he was. Just then, Mayor Mo called and asked if Chen Xiao had been released.

Chen Xiao replied, "I'm out, Mayor Mo. Where are you? I'll come find you!"

Mayor Mo was overjoyed when he heard this, "Where are you? I'll come pick you up."

Chen Xiao told him his location, and soon Mayor Mo arrived, driving himself.

"Chen Xiao, get in!"

Mayor Mo said, opening the car window.

If Mayor Mo personally acted as the driver for someone else, they would definitely be flattered.

But Chen Xiao was not at all. After getting in casually, he asked, "Mayor Mo, where are we going?"

Mayor Mo started the car but did not directly answer Chen Xiao's question. Instead, he said, "Mr. Chen, the patient I'm taking you to see today is crucial to the development of the entire Jiangcheng."

"Oh? Who is it that's so important?"

Chen Xiao couldn't help but be surprised. One person could affect the development of the entire Jiangcheng. This kind of influence was definitely extraordinary.

"Chen Xiao, do you know who the richest man in Jiangcheng is?"

Mayor Mo asked again, avoiding the question.

Chen Xiao shook his head, "I don't pay much attention to that."

Mayor Mo didn't beat around the bush and said, "Then I'll be direct. The richest man in Jiangcheng is Ye Zhicheng, Old Master Ye. The Ye family's wealth exceeded one hundred billion ten years ago, and in recent years, they've been contributing more than ten percent of the city's GDP every year."

Hearing this, Chen Xiao suddenly asked, "Wait, is there someone in the Ye family named Ye Gu Cheng?"

"Yes, Old Master Ye is Ye Gu Cheng's grandfather!"

Mayor Mo asked, "What's wrong, Mr. Chen? Do you know Ye Gu Cheng?"

Chen Xiao shook his head, "I've met him once, but I wouldn't say I know him."

"Oh... the patient I want you to see today is Old Master Ye."

Mayor Mo said, "Actually, Old Master Ye and I are close friends despite the age difference, but because of my position, I can't be too close to him on the surface. You understand, right?"

Chen Xiao nodded to show his understanding.

If Mayor Mo and Old Master Ye were too close, there might be suspicion of collusion between officials and businessmen.

And Mayor Mo was an extremely image-conscious person and would deliberately keep his distance from Old Master Ye.

Then Mayor Mo said, "As you know, the Ye family can stably contribute ten percent of the city's GDP every year, so I said that Old Master Ye is crucial to the development of Jiangcheng."

"It's just that most of the Ye family's descendants are mediocre and no one can take on the responsibility of the Ye family."

"Almost everyone can foresee that if Old Master Ye dies, the entire Ye family will instantly fall apart. Those Ye family descendants will definitely fight over the family property, which would be a considerable blow to the economic development of the entire Jiangcheng."

"Mr. Chen, do you understand what I'm saying?"

Chen Xiao smiled, "I understand."

No wonder Mayor Mo was so nervous. Old Master Ye was indeed very important.

Not only was he important to Jiangcheng's economic development, but also to Mayor Mo's career development.

The most important thing for an official was his political achievements.

And Old Master Ye was the person who could bring political achievements to Mayor Mo as long as he was alive.

Mayor Mo was only in his fifties and still had opportunities for promotion in his career, so before his promotion, Old Master Ye could not die, and the Ye family must not fall apart!
