In a jail cell in the Tanan Detention House, Lu Yao squatted next to Tang Cai's body and carefully observed its changes.
For some unknown reason, all of the other prisoners in the cell had long fallen asleep.
Just as Lu Yao was thinking in a concentrated way, a familiar voice came from behind him. "Lu Yao, are you alright?"
Even without looking back, Lu Yao knew who it was. A hint of joy appeared on his face as he softly replied, "Brother Wang, I'm fine. When did you arrive?"
"I just arrived!"
The person who came was Wang Ping from the Tianxin Martial Arts School. When he saw Lu Yao's extremely concentrated appearance, he knew that he should not disturb Lu Yao anymore.
After about five or six minutes, Lu Yao said, "Brother Wang, please find me a sealed glass container. I have something good to take away!"
"No problem, wait a moment. I'll be right back!" After Wang Ping finished speaking, he quickly turned around and left.
Lu Yao had been staring at a wriggling venomous worm in Tang Cai's body. It was this worm that had sucked Tang Cai's blood and energy. It was also the worm that had provided Tang Cai with endless power.
Because of his strong curiosity towards the venomous insect and the poison and because he remembered Li Jiang's reminder, Lu Yao had already been squatting here to observe this body for almost four hours.
In these four hours, Lu Yao did not care about what happened outside, nor did he want to care about anything else.
Because he was confident that someone would come to pick him up and he would walk out of this detention center at dawn.
It was a dark green venomous worm that was squirming in the body with exceptional agility.
In the past four hours, this worm seemed to have realized the threat of Lu Yao. It shuttled back and forth in Tang Cai's corpse trying to escape.
Lu Yao originally thought that Tang Cai had a box to contain this worm, but when he found it, he saw that the wooden box had already been broken into pieces by him, and it could no longer be used.
Coincidentally, at this time, Wang Ping came, so he asked Wang Ping to help him find a sealed glass vessel. He was going to take this worm back and study it in detail.
The collection and release of venomous worms required a special technique. Li Jiang told Lu Yao that there were three to four ways to release this kind of worms. The level of skills of cultivating these worms could be judged from the differences in the releasing techniques.
People could release the worms with one finger, two fingers, or three and four fingers, and the consequences would be different.
A worm released with one or two fingers was not that powerful. The person who was poisoned by this kind of worm was easier to cure. However, if the worm was released by three fingers, it would be hard to cure the one who was poisoned. If the worm was released with four fingers, the poison was almost incurable, and the victim would die without doubt.
Collecting and releasing venomous worms complemented each other. One had to collect the worm using the same number of fingers as he released the worm. Therefore, when a person released the worm, there was almost no hope for the others to take it back.
The method that Tang Cai used just now was not to release the worm, but to take it. This method was usually used by stupid people who were deceived.
Because of this method, the one who took the worms would definitely die, but the worms would not die. The person who raised the worms could take them back. So this was just a deceiving trick.
Perhaps the so-called Saint Master that Tang Cai spoke of did not expect that Lu Yao would actually be able to survive under such circumstances. This gave Lu Yao a very good opportunity.
After Wang Ping came back with a glass container, under Li Jiang's instruction, Lu Yao caught the dark green worm that shuttled through Tang Cai's corpse and put it in the container.
"Brother Wang, what's the situation outside? Can I leave now?" After packing up his stuff, Lu Yao asked.
Wang Ping patted Lu Yao on the shoulder. When he was sure that Lu Yao was fine, he said firmly, "Let's go. Right now, those outside are all our people. No one will dare to stop us when we walk out like this!"
The two walked out of the cell one after the other. When they were about to go out, Lu Yao looked back at Tang Cai who was still nailed to the wall and Da Biao and the others who were still sleeping.
Lu Yao knew that there were many ways for Wang Ping and others to bring him out of here. However, when he walked out of the cell and saw the soldiers standing on every corner of the Tanan Detention House, he was still deeply shocked.
Wang Ping had many ways to save him, but Lu Yao never thought that he would choose such a domineering method.
"Brother Wang, what happened?" Lu Yao could not help but ask.
"This is the first gift from the leader to you!" Wang Ping smiled mysteriously.
"Leader?" Lu Yao thought for a moment and asked, "Are you talking about Mr. Jin?"
"No!"
"Which leader is that? Have we met?"
"Alright, let's not talk about it for now. You will know when the time comes. Let's leave first!"
"Alright!"
.
.
When Lin Yuandao, Ma Bin, and Wang Jinshan arrived, Lu Yao and Wang Ping had already left. The two groups of people didn't encounter each other.
Tang Cai's body had also been taken away by some soldiers in the biochemical unit of the army using a specially made bag.
If not for the cordons outside the detention center and the group of armed soldiers still standing there with guns in their hands, Lin Yuandao would not believe that the serious situation Ma Bin and others talked about had happened not long ago in the Tanan Detention House.
Because Lin Yuandao and the others were in the special car of the municipal Party committee, those on duty could tell his identity and status with a glance from the license plate number, so their car easily passed the cordon.
However, they were only a few steps past the cordon. There was still some distance away from the gate of the detention center.
The soldiers in the army only listened to orders from their officers. During the period when they were on guard, no one was allowed to get close to the building without orders from the officers. Even the secretary of the municipal Party committee couldn't get in.
"Stop, this is a military restricted area for the time being. No one is allowed to approach!" When Lin Yuandao and the other two arrived at the entrance of the Tanan Detention House, a soldier on duty immediately came up to warn them.
"Are you blind? This is Shuangta City's Secretary Lin!" Before Lin Yuandao and the other two could reply, a loud rebuke came from behind them.
Although this person spoke in favor of Lin Yuandao and the other two, his attitude made Lin Yuandao very uncomfortable.
Lin Yuandao frowned and turned to look in the direction of the voice.
He saw a short man with triangular eyes, a round nose, and a fat face standing outside the cordon with a big beer belly. The man was shouting loudly, "Get out of the way, get out of the way! Let me go over there!"
Ma Bin was an experienced official. He had been working in the governments for so many years and he had long developed a pair of sharp eyes. When he saw Lin Yuandao's tightly knitted brows, he immediately introduced the short man to Lin Yuandao, "Secretary Lin, this is Jin Sanpu, the director of the Tanan Detention House."
Lin Yuandao glanced at Ma Bin and knew what he meant.
No matter how annoying Jin Sanpu was, he was the director of the Tanan Detention House and also a subordinate of Lin Yuandao. He was a member of the legal system. If Lin Yuandao scolded him now, it would be like he was disgracing his own men in front of the military forces. It was not a wise move.
Ma Bin saw that Lin Yuandao's eyebrows were slightly relaxed. He turned around and whispered to Wang Jinshan, "Chief Wang, go and coordinate and see if we can go in and take a look at the situation inside. After all, this happened right under our noses. It is not good for our reputation if things are spread out."
Wang Jinshan nodded. He took out his g*n and gently placed it on the hood of Lin Yuandao's car under the eyes of the soldiers. He raised his arms slightly and walked towards the temporary sentry box in front of him.
Because Wang Jinshan was dressed in a police uniform, and judging from the staff number on his chest, it was obvious that his rank was not low. Plus his actions just now and Jin Sanpu's shouting, the soldiers at the scene also knew the identities of these people and therefore they allowed Wang Jinshan to approach.
"I am Wang Jinshan, the chief of the Municipal Public Security Bureau of Shuangta City. The two of them are the secretary of the municipal Party committee, Lin Yuandao, and Ma Bin, the secretary of the Political and Legal Committee. We are here to inspect what happened in the Tanan Detention House. I hope that your chief will come out to meet us." Wang Jinshan said in a modest but imposing manner.
One of the soldiers with a higher status in the sentry box looked at Wang Jinshan. Then, he looked at the several soldiers behind him and replied, "Wait for a moment!"
.
A moment later, a young officer came to the front of Wang Jinshan and said politely, "Are you Chief Wang of the Municipal Public Security Bureau?"
"Yes, you are?" Wang Jinshan glanced at the young officer's shoulder badge and said politely.
"I am the commander of the logistics company of the eighty-ninth army in Xinlu Military District. I am fully responsible for this mission. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I will pass your words to our leader." The young officer introduced himself.
The seemingly casual introduction was like a clap of thunder in Wang Jinshan's ears.
Logistics company?
If an ordinary person heard this, he would definitely be curious about why soldiers in the logistics company were here.
However, Wang Jinshan, the chief of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, was not an ordinary person after all. He knew what the logistics company of the eighty-ninth army meant and what kind of status this company commander had.
"Nice to meet you. I heard that you have taken over the Tanan Detention House. The municipal party committee's Secretary Lin wants me to ask what is going on. I wonder if you can let us know?" Knowing the young officer's identity, Wang Jinshan spoke in a more polite way.
"Is Secretary Lin the municipal party committee's Lin Yuandao?" The young logistics company commander asked.
"Exactly!" When Wang Jinshan heard that the young officer might know Secretary Lin Yuandao, he felt that this matter would be easier to solve. He immediately replied, "It's Lin Yuandao, Secretary Lin, accompanied by secretary of the Political and Legal..."
"Alright, I know. Please wait a moment!" The young logistics company commander interrupted Wang Jinshan's introduction. After a salute, he turned and left.
When Wang Jinshan saw him leave, he felt a little embarrassed. He was the chief of the Municipal Public Security Bureau, but the young officer did not pay any attention to him at all. However, when Wang Jinshan turned around and thought about the officer's identity, he did not dare to fuss about it anymore.
He turned around and made an OK gesture to Lin Yuandao and Ma Bin, telling them to calm down.
