"What's the use of a Dantian! It's because our Dantian can't withstand the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi that we seek the Cultivation Origin. This Cultivation Origin is our true Dantian!"
As the ghost's words fell, Zhang Feng's pupils suddenly contracted.
The next second, he even jumped straight out of bed:
"What did you say?"
"Sigh..." The female ghost seemed unwilling to explain further to Zhang Feng.
Her voice sounded tired as she said:
"Back then, to preserve the last of my husband's power, I didn't choose to absorb it. Unexpectedly, it allowed that disgusting man Gao Xiao to get ahead."
"Now, I've become a powerless little ghost, but Gao Xiao... Gao Xiao has become invincible!"
Listening to the female ghost, Zhang Feng's expression remained unchanged.
His eyes flickered slightly, as if in deep thought.
Thinking back to when he took that thing from Gao Xiao, Gao Xiao was so afraid.
He must have been acting, and I didn't even notice?
This is truly...
Zhang Feng started to self-reflect.
Previously, when facing that Evil Cultivator Mr. Lin and first seeing the power that didn't belong to Gao Xiao, he was cautious, needing to gauge the other's strengths before responding.
But now,
Zhang Feng realized he'd lost his sense of caution.
Could it be because he's become somewhat invincible in this world?
Making him less concerned and more reckless in his decision-making?
This can't continue!
If his current complacency leads to undesirable consequences, it might not be worth it.
And if it turns more serious, causing a major disaster, he'll be left with deep regrets.
He didn't know why.
Just as he had this thought, his right eyelid twitched involuntarily.
Instantly, Zhang Feng's brows furrowed.
His mind thought:
"Could something really happen?"
Zhang Feng's right eyelid would never twitch without reason.
So in that brief moment, Zhang Feng's heart tightened.
He turned to glance at the desolate female ghost and waved his hand.
The female ghost's shadow immediately turned into black smoke, which then flowed into a thermos.
After sealing the thermos again, Zhang Feng raised his right hand, ready to calculate what exactly was happening.
He had previously calculated Officer Hu's impending problem, which allowed him to be there and save Officer Hu's life.
This time would be no different.
Zhang Feng was sure he could deduce the crux of the issue.
Yet, before he could even start, his phone rang.
Seeing the caller ID, Zhang Feng was slightly taken aback.
"Qin Hai? The third-in-command at the Special Ninth Bureau?"
"Why is he calling me now?"
For some reason, Zhang Feng felt that this call was related to his eyelid twitching.
So he answered the phone directly.
Qin Hai's voice came through the phone:
"Forensic Doctor Zhang, are you free now?"
"Not disturbed," Zhang Feng replied calmly.
Then Qin Hai hesitantly asked over the phone:
"Then may I ask if Qin Huan is currently with you?"
Qin Huan?
At the mention of this name, Zhang Feng's right eyelid twitched twice again!
Not good!
Zhang Feng's heart fluttered; was it really related to Qin Huan?
"No, why?"
He answered Qin Hai's question and then immediately asked back.
Upon Zhang Feng's denial, Qin Hai's voice became audibly more anxious:
"What's going on then?"
"Just a moment ago, Qin Huan went to the underground cells at the Special Ninth Bureau looking for you and hasn't returned yet, nor is her phone reachable."
"What?" Hearing Qin Hai's words, Zhang Feng's pupils shrank abruptly.
Underground cells?
Does that mean after he teleported away, Qin Huan hasn't left that place?
Impossible!
So much time has passed!
"Gao Xiao..."
Gao Xiao's name immediately flashed through Zhang Feng's mind.
Qin Hai, on the other end, hearing Zhang Feng mumble, was slightly puzzled:
"What's up with Gao Xiao? After you disabled him, didn't we capture him and lock him up?"
Zhang Feng didn't explain to Qin Hai and simply said:
"I'm heading to the Special Ninth Bureau immediately!"
With that, he hung up the phone.
In the bedroom, Zhang Feng's figure began to fade and gradually disappeared.
At this moment, Zhang Feng was already on his way to the Special Ninth Bureau, and he was moving swiftly.
Of course, he ensured he wouldn't disrupt ordinary people's lives.
Zhang Feng had his own methods.
Disappearing like this was fine.
Even though Ma Xiaotong, sitting in the living room, was filled with confusion about what happened in the bedroom,
At least he didn't have to figure out how to explain to Lin Rui's mother why Zhang Feng suddenly returned.
But that's not the important matter.
The important thing is, Qin Huan is missing.
Zhang Feng instantly linked this to Gao Xiao.
Because the ghost just mentioned it.
The Dantian is trivial!
The true Cultivation Origin is the "Dantian" of cultivators in this world.
Although he shattered Gao Xiao's Dantian, Gao Xiao absorbed the cultivation of those two Evil Cultivators.
Now, Gao Xiao is undoubtedly stronger than both Mr. Lin and that female ghost combined.
If that's the case...
Qin Huan is in danger!
In no time.
It took Yuan Yuanyuan over two hours to drive from the Special Ninth Bureau back to the city.
But Zhang Feng appeared in the cell where he and Qin Huan had parted in just a few breaths.
The floor of the cell still had a big hole.
The spot where he and Qin Huan had laid still had a strand of Qin Huan's hair.
But the room was empty, devoid of any presence, let alone Qin Huan.
The ominous feeling in his heart grew stronger.
His figure faded once more, reappearing in what was Gao Xiao's cell.
"Just as I suspected!"
Zhang Feng, just materializing, tensed up slightly.
Indeed, Gao Xiao's cell was also empty!
Qin Huan's disappearance is certainly related to Gao Xiao!
At this moment.
"Zz—pop!"
A mechanical sound echoed as Gao Xiao's cell door was opened from the outside.
Qin Hai walked in.
During his phone conversation with Zhang Feng, even though Zhang Feng muttered Gao Xiao's name,
Qin Hai felt something was off about Gao Xiao.
So without checking the surveillance, he took the elevator down to see for himself.
Seeing Zhang Feng upon opening the cell door, Qin Hai was momentarily surprised and instinctively asked:
"Forensic Doctor Zhang, why are you here?"
But immediately after, he was horrified, emitting a sharp exclamation:
"Where's Gao Xiao? Where did Gao Xiao go?!"
...
