Chapter Thirty-One: The Narcotics Case Twelve Years Ago

  "I'll just wait outside for you, let Uncle Ge know that I've arrived in S City, and my dad will also know." Ma Houping found a shady spot to rest.

  Ge Yufeng looked at him with his legs crossed sitting on the chair, really leisurely. "Alright, you just wait here." After finishing speaking, he turned around and walked into the police station.

  "Dad."

  Ge Fei's face was stern, "I've already heard about the matter from your uncle Ma. Don't interfere, I have a case here that you should be aware of."

  Ge Yufeng nodded, "It was a drug case twelve years ago, but why are we reopening it?"

  Ge Fei's back was slightly stiff, and after a while, he slowly said, his tone surprisingly with a hint of probing, "Do you still remember what happened when you were 13 years old?"

  Ge Yufeng slightly furrowed his brow, not understanding why his dad was asking this. It seemed like it was a year after the drug case when I was 13 that he asked me something similar. Was there some kind of connection?

  "Dad? Nothing special."

  Ge Fei's body relaxed slightly, looking at him and saying, "It was like this. When the drug case was thoroughly investigated back then, they caught the main culprit Hua Tian, but he escaped a year later and even kidnapped you. By the time I found you, you were covered in blood and scars all over your body. After waking up, you didn't remember anything about it either. So, I'm worried that investigating this case will bring back painful memories for you."

  Ge Yufeng listened without showing anything unusual, had he lost his memory?

  "How can he be in prison for over a decade and then suddenly appear?"

  "That year's drug case only caught the main culprit and some minor accomplices, but not all of them. Recently, rumors of selling drugs have been circulating in Moyang again, so I want to investigate whether it is the same group from 12 years ago. If it is, then their reappearance may be related to Huatian's jailbreak!"

  Ge Yu Feng stepped out of the police station and said, "I'll investigate thoroughly, don't worry about what happened, I'm fine."

  Ma Houping saw Ge Yufeng's gloomy face and asked: "What's wrong? Have you encountered some trouble?"

  "There is a drug trafficking case."

  "Is it the one from twelve years ago? I heard many police officers died."

  "Hmm, this case is not as simple as it seems on the surface."

  "What did you say?"

  "Let's go first and make sure things are clear this time."

  "Go find the files on this case, I'm going to the prison to see Hua Tian."

  Ge Yufeng sat in the chair and looked at the man on the other side of the glass, picking up the receiver, "Hua Tian."

  The man had a thick beard and a long scar from the corner of his eye to his chin. He looked at him with a flicker in his eyes, "Who are you?"

  Ge Yufeng caught the glint in his eyes and said coldly, "The main culprit of the drug case back then was you. Now, it's possible that the drug trafficking is done by remnants of your organization."

  The man sneered and said, "I've been locked up for over a decade, what can I do? They're really good brothers, I didn't know they respected me so much!"

  Hearing his sharp and piercing words, her mouth was full of sarcasm.

  "You haven't said who you are."

  "Kudo no Kaze."

  "Kuzu?"

  Ge Yu Feng stared straight into his eyes, "I am Ge Fei's son, thirteen years ago I was kidnapped and held hostage by you."

  The man's eyes widened in shock as he suddenly stood up and roared, "You said your name is Ge Yufeng?"

  The security guard forced him to sit down, and Ge Yufeng looked at him in confusion, why was he reacting so much?

  Yes.

  "Haha——haha——it's too ridiculous, too pathetic." Huatian laughed loudly and slowly stopped, saying: "What did you come here for?"

  Can Ke Yuefeng see sadness and pity, even affection in his eyes? Ke Yuefeng furrowed his brow, "Dad said I lost my memory after being held hostage by you, what exactly happened back then?"

  He let out a long sigh and returned to his usual expressionless face, "To find the truth, you must investigate yourself. The secrets within are not as simple as they seem on the surface. Also, I'll warn you, don't believe anyone. What you hear isn't necessarily true, and what you see requires your own judgment."

  Ge Yufeng walked out of prison, and that sentence had been swirling in his mind, "Don't believe anyone, what you hear may not be true, and what you see must be discerned by yourself." He understood it, but Hua Tian's words still hid a deeper meaning, as if he was intentionally telling him something. What did he want to tell him? Don't believe anyone... No matter what, he had to investigate clearly, not just because of his suspicions about the Ruin organization, but also for the lost memories, and even... He didn't know that he had forgotten a segment of memory, and every year's events were vaguely remembered. It was too strange, Ye Xue... The familiar feeling when he first saw her wasn't a coincidence.

  "Yu Feng, look at this, it's described very vaguely here, and how they caught Hua Tian is also very unnatural."

  Hua Tian holds Ge Fei's wife and children hostage and triggers an explosion. Hua Tian is seriously injured and captured.

  "Look again."

  Wife and child? Ge Yufeng had asked his parents about it, it seems that they died in this explosion. However, he has a strange feeling, he can't say why Huatian wanted to trigger the explosion, why he became a lone wolf, usually the big boss of a gang wouldn't take action himself, even to the point of self-destruction. What makes him suspicious is, why were there so many fish that slipped through the net? It's as if... it was all just for catching Huatian? Why?

  "On August 26, 2003, the drug trafficking gang had the latest bombs placed in major cities and enterprises. Although the police tried their best to dismantle the bombs, they still suffered heavy casualties, with a death toll of over a thousand people. Yufeng, why would a drug trafficking gang want to place bombs? Isn't it all about profit?" Ma Houping asked in puzzlement.

  Ge Yu Feng also flipped through it and caught a piece of information, "Ge Fei, Ma Hu Ping and Lin Cheng have infiltrated the drug trafficking gang as undercover agents."

  Ge Yufeng and Ma Huping exchanged a glance, "Who is Lin Cheng?"

  "There's nothing, only Lin Cheng's past events. After entering the gang, only Ge Fei and Ma Houping came out. Lin Cheng died, but there is no record of how he died or what happened inside. Ge Fei and Ma Houping just simply said that Lin Cheng encountered difficulties." Ma Houping put down the documents on the stool, "I don't understand, my dad never mentioned this matter to me, what about you?"

  Ge Yufeng's expressionless face said, "I haven't heard of it either. They're deliberately avoiding this topic, and it should be a painful past. Lin Cheng is an important clue. We must investigate ourselves and cannot let your dad and my dad know."

  Ma Houping also solemnly said: "I know. What are you going to do next?"

  "How did the drug trafficking gang enter S city without leaving any traces and spread all over the country, I'll go ask my dad again, you investigate the police who survived the anti-drug mission that year."

  "Good."

  At the same time, Musu and others were at Yeyue Qin's home. Leng Yu and Xiao Xinman were also there. Xu Fan slowly said, "Ge Yufeng has something to do and returned to S city."

  Everyone ignored what he said, and Ye Xue took out an object. "This is a new type of communicator that I researched with Leng Hao. It has a positioning system and the material is sturdy and won't easily break. Also, Zhou Xiao's ability was used to allow messages to be transmitted and received directly through the brain."

  Mo Shu's eyes met Ye Yuejin's and Zhou Xiao's for a moment, then Ye Yuejin pulled Zhou Xiao out, while Leng Hao also walked out with an icy expression.

  Leave Xu Fan, Leng Yu and Xiao Xinmeng behind. Mu Shuqin looked at Xiao Xinmeng who was confused and didn't know what to do, "It will be very dangerous for you to stay with us, I'll give you a house and a job, leave."

  Xiao Xinming nodded, and solemnly said: "I've made up my mind. Here, I don't understand anything by myself. Zhou Xiao and Leng Hao are the first outsiders I've met. And I'm not a timid or fearful person either. I know some martial arts, I won't hold you back!"

  "Musu looked at her firm eyes and stopped advising, looking at Leng Yu said: "I don't know what your purpose is for staying with us, but we will strictly monitor you.""

  "You also underestimate me."

  "Mu Shuqiang took a last look at Xu Fan, and directly bypassed him, saying 'The people I acknowledge don't have anything to hide. Ask Zhou Xiao and Ye Yuexin for the specifics.' After finishing speaking, Mu Shuqiang walked out of the room and before leaving said to Ye Yuexin: 'More friends, fewer enemies.'"

  Leng Yu followed closely behind him, "Don't you have even a shred of self-blame?"

  Mu Shuqiang walked ahead without speaking, Leng Yu's face sank in anger and said: "Mu Shuqiang! If you had transformed into Ye Qi Xue earlier, she wouldn't have died! And the one leading everyone wouldn't be you!"

  "Does it make you happy to reopen this wound and see the blood? It's not just you who is in pain. We haven't forgotten, but I can only move forward."

  "Hmph!" Leng Yu coldly sneered: "Easy for you to say, since you're still alive. If you really wanted to resist the organization, it shouldn't be Mu Shu Zhen!"

  Mu Shu slightly tilted her head and said, "Then what do you want?"

  "I want you to be forever mine, Ye Qi Xue!"
