Chapter 58: Scheming for Personal Gain

  Inside the wooden box is a glass cover that is almost the same size as the wooden box and has been made into a box with wooden strips.

  Inside the glass case, a multitude of black insects crawled about, each one covered in sticky silk that made one's stomach turn. Every insect had two sharp fangs.

  "How disgusting!" Liu Hao frowned and said.

  "What the hell do these bastards want?" Lei Yu turned his head, "Big brother, this thing is unclear what it is, and has never been seen before. Why don't you contact Dragon Team to come and take away this box of things?"

  "Alright." Nuo Hu nodded and left. These disgusting bugs made him want to vomit just by looking at them, he didn't even want to take a second glance.

  Lei Yu helped Fang Yi into a taxi and the two hastily returned home, leaving the matter to be handled by Nuo Hu and Liu Hao.

  As for the several bandits who were killed, Nuo Hu communicated with the police officer from the Police Bureau after Long Zu's brothers arrived on the scene. The police had no right to interfere in Long Zu's affairs, and Nuo Hu explained that they were just executing their mission.

  As for Fang Yikang's matter, it hasn't been spread around. This time all the focus is on this box of unknown insects, quickly transporting them to the research center and waiting for the results to come out.

  Lei Yu helped Xiao Ke back home, found a clean set of clothes, which was actually left behind by Ai Er when she used to live here, as the two had similar body types.

  Ke Fangyi still had a dull expression, without any reaction at all, which made Lei Yu somewhat headache, and under the circumstances of having no other choice, he called Ai Er.

  "Can you come to my home for a visit? Xiao Ke is here with me."

  "It's already past two o'clock, how could she be there?" Aier asked.

  "Don't ask so many questions, something's happened. Oh, and don't come by yourself, it's better if someone sends you over." Lei Yu was frightened, the feeling of being on edge made him unable to forget, looking at Xiao Ke's empty eyes still lingering with a hint of fear, Lei Yu suddenly felt some heartache. "Lei Yu, I like you!", Xiao Ke's words made Lei Yu feel like he wanted to go crazy, his mind kept replaying this sentence over and over again.

  Ai'er hastily changed her clothes and splashed some cold water on her sleepy eyes. She then quickly called her family's driver to take her to Lei Yu's home.

  Lei Yu told Aier about the situation, and that night, Aier took good care of her, not daring to be even a little neglectful. How could it not be heartbreaking for friends to see a good friend suffer such humiliation?

  Although a night's time may seem somewhat dull in Lei Yu's home, and Xiao Ke gradually fell asleep, the outside world was turned upside down.

  Liu Hao contacted all the police stations to carry out a large-scale search, with the aim of finding some clues. With Long Zuohu present, Liu Hao's words were even more effective. Each police officer only knew that they had to find as many suspicious people as possible, but they didn't know who specifically to look for.

  Outside the research room, several people with solemn expressions stood, including Nuo Yilong and other local military leaders.

  The news came out quickly, and Nuo Yilong and others had to grasp it in the first time and report to their superiors.

  A bald-headed old man wearing glasses walked out of the laboratory, accompanied by two young researchers, a male and a female.

  "Professor Luo, what's going on? What are these creatures?" asked Nuo Yilong.

  Professor Luo pushed his glasses up the bridge of his nose, "It's terrible, fortunately we found out early. These insects all contain a large amount of bacteria in their bodies. If they infect humans, it could lead to severe illness and paralysis. According to my tests, these bacteria aren't naturally occurring, but rather were cultivated. Originally, these insects were ordinary, but because they were injected with these bacteria during the larval stage, that's why they've become like this now. These insects are extremely interested in flesh, as soon as they find some, they'll open their mouths and pounce without hesitation, you can see just how frightening they are!"

  "These insects are so terrifying?" Nuo Yilong's eyes snapped open.

  "Yes, you quickly report the situation here to your superiors, I need to further investigate, if there's only this batch of insects it's fine, but if there are others, things will be bad, I suspect someone is maliciously trying to release these insects in Tenglong country."

  The severity of the situation has exceeded everyone's expectations, and Luo Long and others quickly left with Professor Luo's report in hand, rushing straight towards the main city.

  The sky was already bright, and Lei Yu didn't sleep all night, just staring blankly at the two sleeping girls for a whole night.

  His train of thought was interrupted by a ringtone, and Lei Yu quickly picked up, "Liu Hao, how is it?"

  "Master, no clues have been found, but Nuo Hu has something to say to you." As he spoke, Nuo Hu's voice came from the other end of the phone.

  "Xiao Yu, the situation is extremely serious. The insects you found are actually carrying a virus. It's suspected that those bastards from the enemy country want to release these insects in our Tenglong Kingdom to cause massive bacterial transmission, and then sell the corresponding treatment drugs at high prices."

  "These bastards!"

  Lei Yu hung up the phone and found Ai Er already awake, "You take good care of Xiao Ke, I'm going to Long Zu, there are some important things."

  "I'll be fine, you be careful."

  The conference room on the first floor of Longzhong Villa.

  Nuo Yifeng and Lei Yu sat face to face in seats one and two at the conference table, it seemed that Vice Commander Lei Yu's identity had been confirmed.

  Nuo Yilong looked at Lei Yu opposite him, "Little Yu, you're already very clear about what's going on, and this time it was also you who discovered it, tell everyone about it."

  Lei Yu nodded, detailing the situation to each of the Dragon Team elites and emphasizing the severity of the matter. A hint of anger appeared in everyone's eyes - the people of Kou Country were indeed despicable enough to have something like this happen.

  "This operation does not require the Wild Wolf Team and Brave Lion Team to mobilize. All elite brothers of the Dragon Team, I want everyone to disperse and cooperate with the police to search with all their might. If there is still a worm that slips through the net, the consequences will be unbearable. There's one more thing I need to make clear: this time, only members of the Dragon Team are mobilized because we may encounter some trouble in this mission, which could possibly be ninjas from the enemy country. So you must be on high alert and your actions cannot alarm any civilians, lest it cause chaos. Do you understand?" Ray's words also subtly revealed his overbearing aura.

  "Yes! Vice Commander!" The uniform shout rose with a surging momentum.

  After the meeting, all the elites were in action. Lei Yu and Nuo Yi Feng sat in the hall discussing something, while Nuo Yi Long happened to return to the Dragon Group at this time, seemingly just back from the main city.

  "Uncle Nuo, what does it say up there?" Lei Yu asked.

  Sitting on the sofa, Nuo Yilong's face looked a bit unsightly. "After we arrived at the main city and reported the situation, our superiors directly communicated with the leaders of the enemy country, but they flatly denied that it was their doing."

  "These bastards!" Lei Yu clenched his fists tightly, thinking of Xiaoyu at home made him extremely angry.

  "On this matter, two speculations have been made, but neither of them directly implicates the relevant person in charge of the Kou country. First, it is highly likely that it was a plot by dark forces for personal gain. Second, it may be that certain departments accepted bribes, which led to such things flowing into Tenglong country."

  "How could this be?" Lei Yu frowned and said, "The dark forces' plot to profit is precisely to spread the virus and sell treatment drugs at high prices. The customs bribery is also a fact, but can't we have any connection with the bandit country?"
