Seeing Zheng Tong's face gradually turn ashen, the injured man with sunglasses felt a sense of foreboding and urged anxiously, "Team Leader Zheng, what are you waiting for?"

Zheng Tong twisted his neck and said in a deep voice, "Gentlemen, now that he's been sent to the Resuscitation Beast, please leave quickly!"

The two men in sunglasses froze, unsure of what to say for a moment.

"Zheng Tong, have you forgotten..."

Before Gaoqiao Meisheng could finish speaking, Zheng Tong hung up the video call directly, and unceremoniously gestured towards the door.

A minute later, with a "bang" as the door slammed shut, the room fell completely silent.

Lying on the bed, Li Chenqiu burrowed under the covers, took out the blood-colored stone hidden on his body, and carefully examined it through the light that sneaked in from the gap.

"It feels... there's nothing special about it!" Li Chenqiu murmured in his heart.

Although he couldn't see anything unusual about the stone, he obediently placed the stone inside his body, as instructed by the Northern Yin Heavenly Emperor.

...

December 25th, 9:00 AM.

Second Division of Antong, conference room of the Disaster Investigation Department.

A group of well-dressed men and women were seated around the conference table, led by a stern-faced middle-aged man with graying temples.

This man was named Ying Ci, the head of the Disaster Investigation Department, a collateral descendant of the Ying Clan Consortium's second generation.

Besides him, there were also several familiar faces in the room: Zheng Tong from the Disaster Clearance Department, Li Bai, the vice-president of the Star Picking Academy, and Ying Yi, the department head of the Special Abilities Department.

The reason these people were gathered here was all because of one person—Li Chenqiu.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Ying Ci turned to look at Ying Yi, and only after seeing the latter nod in agreement did he turn his gaze back and begin to speak.

"Good morning, everyone. I believe everyone is clear about what we are here to discuss today, which is to decide how to treat Li Chenqiu, a Nine-Forbidden Destiny Holder with an unclear stance.

This Destiny Holder is exceptionally talented. His Forbidden level has reached Nine-Forbidden at the young age of twenty. This is originally fortunate for our Federation, but he has lived under the same roof as two Twelve-Forbidden Resuscitators for two years.

This is also the reason why Antong Division detained and investigated him. None of us want to see such an outstanding Destiny Holder standing on the side of the Resuscitator camp.

This morning at seven o'clock, the investigation team responsible for investigating him finally returned. I hope that after listening to the report of this investigation team, everyone can express their opinions objectively and fairly."

Ying Ci's gaze swept across everyone's faces. Seeing that no one spoke, he beckoned to a lean man standing not far away.

The lean man understood and quickly came to the wooden podium, moving the microphone in front of him.

The hundred-inch screen behind him also lit up, and Li Chenqiu's fair and delicate face appeared before everyone.

Listening to Ying Cheng'an's narration, Li Bai, who was sitting below, covered his mouth with one hand, and his cloudy eyes gradually began to turn red.

He didn't expect that Li Chenqiu had lived such a life. He could only eat noodles without salt, drink raw water from public toilets, and was often bullied by some hooligans... Too miserable!

"Little brother, don't worry, I will definitely take good care of him," Li Bai said silently in his heart, wiping away the tears that were about to fall.

Seeing this scene, Ying Yi, who was sitting next to him, had a confused expression on his face. He took out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it to Li Bai, and whispered, "Why are you crying?"

His voice was very soft, but everyone present had very good hearing. Driven by their gossipy hearts, almost everyone turned their heads and looked at Li Bai, who had not yet wiped away his tears.

For a moment, the conference room fell into an awkward silence.

Li Bai's ears began to turn red at a speed visible to the naked eye, and he awkwardly met everyone's gazes.

He coughed awkwardly twice and muttered to himself, "My eyes are itchy."

Ying Ci asked with concern, "Dean Li, are you... alright?"

"I'm fine! What could be wrong with me? Why are you all looking at me? Is there something on my face?" Li Bai asked in confusion.

"Uh... nothing."

"It seems like I have a stiff neck. I keep wanting to twist it."

"Why aren't you talking? Continue the report!"

Everyone tacitly changed the subject, bringing everything back on track.

"Hoo~~~"

Li Bai breathed a long sigh of relief in his heart, threw the tissue in front of him back into Ying Yi's arms, and glared at the other party fiercely.

The report on the stage continued. After introducing Li Chenqiu's miserable life, Ying Cheng'an began to talk about his growth over the past year.

From North Huang Mountain, the underground train, the academy entrance examination, the competition for the Chief Disciplinarian... to the current supervision, everything about Li Chenqiu was laid bare before everyone.

Of course, it was just a superficial level of detail. The deeper details were basically covered up by the Ying Clan's operations.

"Based on the existing intelligence, I personally don't think Li Chenqiu is involved with the Resuscitators. Of course, this is just my personal judgment and has nothing to do with the Intelligence Department."

Ying Cheng'an put down the laser pointer in his hand and faced the crowd, "The report is over. If you have any questions, you can ask me on the spot."

As soon as he finished speaking, a beautiful woman raised her hand and said, "There's one thing I don't quite understand. At what age was Li Chenqiu abandoned?

If he was abandoned at an age when he didn't remember things, then he definitely wouldn't have been able to survive without the ability to survive.

If he was abandoned at an age when he did remember things, why doesn't he know who his parents are? Why doesn't he know where his home is?"

Ying Cheng'an didn't answer immediately, but subtly glanced at Ying Ci. Seeing the other party nod, he felt relieved and said:

"Li Chenqiu was abandoned at an age when he didn't remember things. The reason why he was able to survive was because of a person."
