Seeing Niu Tao's nervous deanor, everyone imdiately gathered in front of the female corpse and observed earnestly.
They saw a small black worm slowly crawling out of the nostril of the frozen female corpse.
It looked sowhat like a maggot, seemingly forced out by the cold temperature, and it twitched weakly as it crawled out.
Jiang Feng frowned and quickly reached out to pick up the little worm.
"Be careful, Mr. Jiang…" Niu Tao instinctively said to Jiang Feng.
Jiang Feng's face remained expressionless. Not only was he wearing gloves, but even without them, the strong Devouring Sky Demon Qi that protected him made it so that this little worm posed no threat.
In front of everyone, Jiang Feng brought the half-dead worm close to his nose and sniffed it, confirming a strong stench of decay.
Now, he understood everything!
The one responsible was indeed soone from the sa school as the elder capable of manipulating the "Bone-Eroding Insect Tide" that appeared in the Provincial City. This was apparently one of the legendary Gu Techniques from the Miao Region?
"Mr. Jiang… What is this?"
Forensic Doctor Feng asked in astonishnt.
"This is the root of why the female corpse could 'move'. As for what it is specifically, that's for you to research."
Jiang Feng handed the worm to Forensic Doctor Feng casually and then directly walked out of the morgue.
Zhuge Yuheng and Qi ngge saw this and imdiately followed him out.
Mu Jianmin remained in the morgue, sternly instructing the remaining task force team mbers to keep their mouths shut and not disclose the events of tonight to anyone, or they would face severe punishnt, and so on.
"Hey, Jiang Feng, where are you going?"
Situ Yan removed her gloves and booties as she caught up outside the morgue, asking Jiang Feng.
"The matter is over, I'm going ho," Jiang Feng said calmly.
"Going ho?"
Situ Yan was sowhat taken aback.
She knew that with the cremation of the female corpse, the night's affairs were tentatively concluded, but only temporarily.
With Jiang Feng's nature of seeking vengeance for every wrong, he would never let it go easily. The subsequent actions, he just didn't want to tell her about.
"Do you already know who's behind all this?"
Situ Yan walked up and asked.
"It's just a guess. If it turns out to be true, it's beyond your managent. I'll handle it myself," Jiang Feng replied casually.
"Is it related to the Provincial City?" Situ Yan imdiately grasped a possibility and asked.
Jiang Feng neither confird nor denied: "I'll head back first, contact by phone if anything cos up."
With that, he disregarded Situ Yan's further inquiries and left the South City Branch with Zhuge Yuheng.
On the highway, the night had beco very deep.
Zhuge Yuheng, who hadn't spoken a word in the branch, suddenly asked Jiang Feng: "Mr. Jiang, in your opinion, which family from the Provincial City is behind this move against you?"
"Judging by the thod, it resembles the Yan Family, but that's impossible. The Huangfu Family and the Dongfang Family, even with the intention, lack the capability, so it's most likely the Qi Family that Qi ngge fled back to!"
"The Qi Family!"
Hearing this, Zhuge Yuheng's expression instantly grew heavy.
The Qi Family's involvent was indeed significant, and they were truly a colossal power in the Provincial City, ranked fourth in influence!
"So, Mr. Jiang, what do you plan to do next?"
"If people do not offend , I will not offend them. If people offend , I will root them out completely."
Jiang Feng's expression remained calm, but his steady tone revealed the impending thunderous punishnt against the Qi Family!
"Once I've confird that the Qi Family was indeed behind this matter, their downfall will be imminent!"
Zhuge Yuheng was stunned by these words!
In the chilly night wind, he felt an even colder chill than when he had seen the eerie female corpse!
...
In the city center, at a certain star-rated hotel.
Miao Renfeng, donned in exotic attire, hurriedly arrived on the sixth floor and knocked vigorously on the door of room 606.
Soon, the door was opened, revealing a rich and graceful lady inside, none other than Qi ngge!
Well maintained, Qi ngge appeared to be in her thirties, wearing only a purple satin robe, her hair loose, feet bare, and twirling a costly red wine glass in her hand. Seeing Miao Renfeng enter, she smiled and asked, "Elder Miao, did it work?"
Miao Renfeng, seeing the lavish and enticing Qi ngge, was montarily taken aback, before swallowing hard.
He had cultivated for most of his life in the Ten Thousand Mountains and had never seen such a ripe and voluptuous gem as Qi ngge!
Unfortunately, the woman before him was not soone he could touch. If he dared, it might bring trouble to the entire Five Gu Sect!
Thus, he masked the hint of greed in his gaze, shook his head firmly, and said, "No, it didn't work! I rushed over to tell you to escape under the cover of night to avoid being tracked down by that Jiang, otherwise you won't be able to leave when the ti cos!"
"It didn't work?"
Qi ngge was startled by the news, the wine glass in her hand fell to the ground with a "crash," shattering into pieces, spilling wine over her feet.
"How could it not work?"
She thought that with Miao Renfeng's involvent tonight, success was assured.
For this, she had even begun celebrating in advance, but why did Miao Renfeng bring back such news?
"I underestimated him! That damn Jiang brat indeed has so tricks, breaking my Gu Techniques twice in succession. Now, this matter has even alard the action departnts in Binhai, and I'm just afraid…"
"You usel…"
Qi ngge nearly let the word "useless" slip but rembered that he was the expert she had gone through much trouble to bring from thousands of miles away, offending him wouldn't be wise either.
"So what do you have in mind?"
Suppressing her anger, Qi ngge asked.
"Don't worry, Lady Qi, tonight's affair was just an appetizer to test Jiang Feng's depth. I'll be brewing bigger plans through the night, ensuring that with my next move, Jiang Feng will have no place to rest in peace!" Miao Renfeng assured, patting his chest confidently.
"Hopefully! Elder Miao, I, Qi ngge, have all my stakes on you. You must not let down again! Once you thoroughly deal with that Jiang Feng, whatever wealth, reputation, and status you desire, I will give you. Just be sure to kill him!" Qi ngge said hatefully.
"Understood, I'll do my utmost. This ti, I will concoct a supre move to ensure the mission's complete success!" Miao Renfeng promised once more with confidence.
Qi ngge had no intention of further discussing with him, angrily returning to the room to start dressing and packing her belongings.
She wouldn't be able to watch the drama unfold; she had to return to the Provincial City to keep herself safe!
Miao Renfeng took one last reluctant glance at Qi ngge before leaving, his heart itchy with reluctance.
