His gaze shifted to Xiong Kang. Bai Yiyi said gravely, "Captain Xiong, all the abnormal creatures in the Bai Family patrol area disappeared overnight, as if they had evaporated from the face of the earth."
Hearing what Bai Yiyi had said, Lu Zixun’s eyes flickered with contemplation.
If nothing unexpected had happened, this must have been a decision made by Ye Changming.
As for why these abnormal creatures could not be traced, Lu Zixun was clear in his heart.
Upon hearing this, Xiong Kang fell into thought.
He took a deep breath, took out his mobile phone, and made a call to Zeng Haoyang.
After carefully explaining the day’s events, Zeng Haoyang’s expression became grave over the phone, "It’s easy to hide a single abnormal creature in Chunhua City. If it’s a group, I suppose only the Ye Family would have such means."
Lu Zixun, ears perked up listening to Zeng Haoyang’s words, however, was filled with doubt.
Since only the Ye Family had such means, didn’t that prove there was an unknown connection between the Ye Family and the abnormal creatures?
Then why didn’t Zeng Haoyang and the others report it to the authority but were instead frenzied here?
"I probably guessed as much."
Nodding slightly, Xiong Kang sighed, "It was not easy to find evidence that could topple the Ye Family, but Ye Changming’s sense of smell in this matter is too sharp."
After a long silence, Zeng Haoyang rubbed his sore temples, "Let’s leave this matter be. For a while, Ye Changming certainly won’t take any reckless actions, especially since Long Jiuri is about to return."
Hearing this, Lu Zixun’s tail twitched twice.
He thought, Long Jiuri is coming back; what does that have to do with Ye Changming taking reckless actions?
While Lu Zixun was contemplating, he saw Xiong Kang take a long sigh of relief.
"That’s good. With Ninth Brother back, finally there’s someone who can restrain Ye Changming."
As his words fell, the two chatted about everyday matters for a while before hanging up.
Beside them, the very puzzled Lu Zixun finally got a chance to voice his doubts, "If all evidence points toward the Ye family, why can’t it topple their rule?"
After Lu Zixun raised this question, Xiong Kang fell silent.
After quite a while, Xiong Kang finally answered, albeit indirectly, "The abnormal creature we encountered on the rooftop just now is a Growth King-level Creature."
With this statement, Lu Zixun felt enlightenment dawn on him.
Thinking about the feeling value provided by Ye Changming in the system prompt sound, Lu Zixun understood why substantial evidence was necessary.
A Genetic Optimization Soldier capable of slaying King-level Creatures easily would easily turn the tables unless there was conclusive evidence.
Even if there was substantial evidence, there needed to be Genetic Optimization Soldiers of equal power present to prevent a counterattack.
Both of these were indispensable.
No wonder, having witnessed Ye Changming’s decisive actions, Xiong Kang sounded so gloomy.
After pondering the whole sequence of events, Lu Zixun stood up, stretched out his paw, and patted Xiong Kang on the shoulder, "After this incident, Ye Changming will probably hold off on taking action for a while."
"Ding—shock value from Xiong Kang detected +4000."
"Ding—surprise value from Bai Yiyi detected +500."
Looking up, Lu Zixun saw surprise in Xiong Kang’s eyes.
Lu Zixun asked incredulously, "What’s that look for?"
"How did you come to associate it with that?"
Instead of answering Lu Zixun’s question, Xiong Kang retorted with one of his own.
Lu Zixun, reclining back on the sofa, swung his head and said, "I thought about it, and the Ye family’s move against me isn’t based on my being a Spirit Beast, that’s too far-fetched with no basis at all. So... it’s more likely because I am a cat from Ninth Brother’s faction."
"Because of my close relationship with Yue Sichen, Ye Changming found an excellent point to exploit."
Continuing, Lu Zixun’s eyes filled with a cold light, "He perfectly used the system’s rules to trouble me; as long as I make a mistake during the night patrol, then..."
"He would have the perfect excuse to move against us."
Before Lu Zixun could continue, Xiong Kang interjected coldly.
"That’s exactly right."
Nodding in agreement with Xiong Kang’s words, Lu Zixun continued, "Ninth Brother is coming to Chunhua City soon, which means something must have held him up. Coupled with the Ye Family’s ability to control abnormal creatures, we can conclude one thing."
Hearing this, Bai Yiyi and Xiong Kang both fell into thought.
After a while, Xiong Kang looked up at Lu Zixun with furrowed brows, "Are you suspecting the Ye Family wants to recreate the incident in district Q?"
Shaking his head, Lu Zixun said gravely, "No, what I am saying is that the tragedy in district Q must be tied to the Ye Family."
"Ding—shock value from Xiong Kang detected +4000."
"Ding—Surprise value from Bai Yiyi detected +500."
Taking a short breath, Xiong Kang rubbing his temples appeared quite headache-stricken, "If that’s the case, the Ye Family really is full of wild ambitions, deserving of death!"
Hearing this, Bai Yiyi also frowned, looking perplexedly at Xiong Kang, "Captain Xiong, didn’t the initial messages from district Q say that everything was secure and that clearance operations had begun?"
Lu Zixun’s tail flicked twice, and disdain filled his eyes, "When we returned to the so-called temporary base in district Q, the periphery was already devastated, and when we entered inside, we even found an Abnormal Creature and a member of the Alien Race."
And considering the Ye Family’s actions, Lu Zixun couldn’t help but feel a chill of horror.
If all this was under Ye Changming’s control, that man was truly terrifying.
Although Lu Zixun said little, Xiong Kang understood what Lu Zixun was trying to convey.
He also felt a chilling sensation within him.
Turning to look at Bai Yiyi, he forced a smile, "If it weren’t for that little rascal who saved me back then, it wouldn’t be us hunting the abnormal creatures, but being hunted by them..."
After briefly describing the scene to Bai Yiyi, she took a soft breath, "Transmission of information requires encryption, abnormal creatures couldn’t possibly know our codes..."
At this point, Bai Yiyi didn’t continue, but everyone already understood.
"Ding—Satisfaction Value from Xiong Kang detected +4000."
Stretching out his hand to rub Lu Zixun’s head, Xiong Kang smiled slightly, "Not bad, you little rascal, your thinking is getting more and more rigorous. I underestimated you before."
Beside him, Bai Yiyi walked to the desk, picked up some documents.
After greeting the man and the cat, she hurried out.
She needed to report this matter to her grandfather urgently.
"So many things are likely attributed to the Ye Family, what should we do now?"
