Xu Bureau was just about to come over and ask what the situation was when he heard Xun Tianhai’s words and couldn’t help but startle, "What happened?"
With clenched teeth, Xun Tianhai said, "He has schemed against us!"
Xu Bureau was astonished, "What? Did he not tell the truth?"
Xun Tianhai solemnly nodded, "Hurry, have the police question him, what exactly is he hiding!"
"Quick, make a call, let the police station clarify things!" Xu Bureau immediately instructed his subordinates.
Soon, someone was on the phone, notifying the police station.
Seeing this, Xu Bureau recalled Jiangli’s words, glanced at Xun Tianhai, and suggested, "What if we let that young girl have a look? I always feel that she seems to know something?"
Xun Tianhai’s expression darkened and his gaze turned fierce.
Xu Bureau quickly said, "Hey now, Old Xun, don’t look at me like that. I’m just trying to help, aren’t I? If Mu Dayang can play you for a fool, then how could he possibly help you willingly?"
With a grim face, Xun Tianhai also knew this rationale...
If Mu Dayang were willing to help them, there would be no need to deceive them.
Since he had already gone this far, Mu Dayang wouldn’t make it easy for them.
Perhaps, he would put forward some condition that they could not accept, forcing them to agree to secure his freedom.
At this thought, Xun Tianhai silently cursed inwardly.
He never imagined that Master Mu would dare to manipulate them under these circumstances!
But, for him to lower his face and seek Jiangli’s help was also something he was reluctant to do.
Besides, what could such a young girl possibly understand?
Seeing that Xun Tianhai had yet to speak, Xu Bureau sighed helplessly.
Before long, the police station called back.
Just as Xun Tianhai had suspected.
Mu Dayang, upon learning of the situation here, laughed wildly and admitted he had tampered with things. If they wanted his help, then they would have to agree to a condition, to let him go and not hold him accountable.
Otherwise, he would take the staff of the Unusual Affairs Management Office down with him.
After all, having a few more people to cover for him was quite nice.
Hearing Mu Dayang’s exact words, a flash of rage sparked in Xun Tianhai’s eyes; he was about to explode with anger.
"He’s really got some nerve, pulling a fast one on me at this time!"
Xun Tianhai was furious.
Hearing his roar, Xu Bureau said, "This is not the time for that, Director Xun. Let’s see if you can handle it; if not, we really have to seek help."
Upon hearing this, Xun Tianhai remembered Jiangli’s determined demeanor when he left and still couldn’t bring himself to do it.
"I don’t believe it, I’ll do it myself!"
Xun Tianhai, irritated, gritted his teeth and reached out to retrieve the severed limb.
Xu Bureau’s heart skipped a beat.
There was no time to stop him.
Xun Tianhai’s hand had already touched the severed limb.
As soon as he touched the limb,
Xun Tianhai saw a stream of black Evil Qi surging out from the limb, rushing toward him.
Xun Tianhai’s heart skipped, and with a bit of foresight, he immediately took out a Talisman and held it in front of his face.
The Evil Qi collided with the Talisman Paper, splitting it in two as if a blade had sliced through it, with half flying over Xun Tianhai’s head and the other half landing on his arm.
Xun Tianhai was shocked and quickly drew the Mage Sword from his waist, holding it above his head.
The Evil Qi that struck the Mage Sword instantly turned into a wisp of black smoke.
But the other streak of Evil Qi still landed on Xun Tianhai’s arm.
Xun Tianhai immediately felt his arm enveloped in an extreme cold, going numb and losing all ability to move.
Not only that, but when he looked down, he saw a streak of blackness on his arm.
The blackness rapidly spread along his arm, charging straight toward his head.
