Compared to insect Gu, grass Gu is more difficult to refine and also possesses more magical characteristics.
First, grass Gu can be controlled freely.
Once insect Gu enters the body, it imdiately corrodes the human body, but grass Gu can lie dormant. The person who casts the Gu can control when to activate it, and it won't affect the body when not activated, making grass Gu more secretive and truly hard to guard against.
Secondly, grass Gu has a terrifying feature: it can spread rapidly.
"He is just soil and nourishnt."
Luo Chao pointed at the corpse on the dissection table and explained, "When the grass Gu is triggered in his body, he will certainly die quickly, but that's not the end. The grass Gu will use his body as a foundation to mature in a short ti, then, like mature fungal spores, spread continuously around."
Exactly!
When those two forensic doctors were about to perform the autopsy, it was precisely the ti when the grass Gu matured, so they were imdiately struck down as they were the closest.
"Ah! Then we are here…" Song Ke'Er was shocked.
"It's already fine."
Luo Chao waved his hand, his expression turning serious: "This case can't be investigated further. With your capabilities, you can't handle it. Firstly, the Red Scorpion leader knows that his actions broke rules on another level, so he doesn't dare to act openly. Secondly, your own status and family background have made the Red Scorpion leader sowhat wary, but if you push them too hard…"
Originally thought that Red Scorpion was just a large-scale gang, but Luo Chao never expected the leader of Red Scorpion to be from Miaojiang.
The key is that they can also make high-difficulty grass Gu, which ans they are a true expert, far beyond the capabilities of the one who hard Song Ke'Er with grass Gu previously.
"What should we do next? We can't just… leave it at that, right?" Song Ke'Er frowned and asked.
"Of course not."
Luo Chao pondered for a mont and said, "Red Scorpion only has a few big districts in total, and this ti one region has been destroyed, surely depleting their Primordial Qi. Plus, having to silence with Gu killers, the Red Scorpion leader also fears the matter getting too big, attracting attention from special departnts, so they definitely won't dare to make a move for now…I'll figure out a way to solve it, you all just stay out of it."
If it were as before, Song Ke'Er's impulsiveness would have ignored these warnings, mostly not heeding Luo Chao's warnings, but now it's different.
What does impulsiveness result in?
Repeated impulsiveness, recklessness, ignoring advice, watching colleagues and subordinates die again and again—Song Ke'Er has learned much now.
Rigidity can easily break, flexibility can easily dissolve.
With more and more experiences, the once straightforward Song Ke'Er has changed, just like the once weak and introverted Su Hui has learned to be brave and persistent. As they move from different extres toward the middle, it represents the most important growth in life.
The unexpected incident was finally resolved perfectly. Thanks to Luo Chao's tily arrival, the two forensic doctors infected with Gu were saved, but the crisis is far from over.
With the change in the Red Scorpion leader's identity, Luo Chao realizes this is a very strong and dangerous enemy.
Moreover, due to the death of the East China Region head of Red Scorpion, the hard-won clue was cut off, losing the opportunity for active offense.
In other words, all Luo Chao can do is wait.
Wait for the other party to launch another revenge attack; only then could there possibly be new clues.
Of course, since the Red Scorpion leader used Gu, they definitely fear an investigation by Dragon Soul, so they shouldn't dare to act for the ti being…
First, he gambled with stones at Xie Chu's place, spending a few hours, then encountered a setup robbery on the way back, just ensuring Zhang Lei's safe return ho, when another situation arose with Song Ke'Er.
By the ti Luo Chao left the forensic examination departnt, it was almost 11 PM.
"How do you plan to handle the Red Scorpion issue?" Song Ke'Er asked as she saw him off.
"I don't really have a good plan at the mont."
Luo Chao suddenly thought of sothing and changed the subject, asking, "By the way! You ntioned last ti about Sun Zhenbang on the run, what's the situation now?"
The tree falls and the monkeys scatter.
The collapse of the core strength of the Sun Family brought a series of chain reactions, many descendants were affected, Sun Zhenbang included.
However, having been thrown into the detention center, Sun Zhenbang managed to escape using certain ans, and along the way absconded with a large sum of the Sun Family's funds.
Though the Sun Family's apparent assets and properties were imdiately frozen after the incident, how could such a large family not have hidden assets?
In short, Sun Zhenbang fled abroad.
"I've already reported the situation up; after all, this kind of thing is out of the hall's reach. We can only report it to the departnt to attempt extradition, but there is no news yet."
As soon as Song Ke'Er finished speaking, Zhou Jianbing hastily added, "Master, you're so concerned about Sun Zhenbang's escape, what about Sun Zhenxing?"
In Zhou Jianbing's view, although Sun Zhenbang and Luo Chao were adversaries, the conflict wasn't particularly intense. The one who truly wanted to kill Luo Chao was Sun Zhenxing.
However…
During the resolution of the Sun Family affair, Luo Chao specifically instructed not to touch Sun Zhenxing, which puzzled Zhou Jianbing greatly.
"Oh, right!"
Song Ke'Er was taken aback, staring at Luo Chao and asking, "You wouldn't stick to your promise and let him go, would you? From what I know about you, you never keep promises with enemies."
"Do you think Sun Zhenxing still dares to provoke ?" Luo Chao retorted with a question.
"Certainly not. Not to ntion how the Sun Family is now, plus you also have leverage on him; you're already sparing him by not dealing with him."
"There were no dogs in the world before."
This thought was too much of a leap for Song Ke'Er and Zhou Jianbing to comprehend, so Luo Chao laughed and said, "In ancient tis, there were only wolves. Wolves were the enemies of humans; they attacked livestock and even humans, yet humans didn't exterminate them but instead tad them into dogs."
Zhou Jianbing was initially stunned, then his eyes lit up as he understood, "I get it! Killing Sun Zhenxing is as easy as pie, but now he poses no threat to you. Rather than killing a wolf that poses no threat, it's better to turn it into a dog, perhaps useful later on… Master, you're so devious!"
"Watch how you talk!" Luo Chao glared at him.
"Alright, alright, you head back first." Song Ke'Er gestured to Zhou Jianbing.
"Looks like I'm the third wheel again…"
He muttered helplessly before seeing Luo Chao glare at him again fiercely, then he hurriedly took off at a quick pace.
Unknowingly, Song Ke'Er escorted Luo Chao to the outside of the police departnt building, looking hesitant to speak.
"Well…"
Luo Chao felt the atmosphere was a bit awkward and awkwardly chuckled, "If there's nothing else, I'll head back now? You should also go ho and rest early."
"Luo Chao, you… Are you free this weekend?" Song Ke'Er asked, her face flushed.
"What's up?"
"I… Let's hang out over the weekend?"
"Uh…"
"If you're busy, then never mind."
Song Ke'Er hurriedly changed her words, her expression clearly dim.
"It's not that."
Seeing her expression dim, Luo Chao couldn't help it and quickly said, "It's not that I'm busy, I was just thinking of how to schedule. I plan to visit Yinyin, and also teach Jianbing and the others so things… How about this, I'm free from noon to evening on Sunday."
Luo Hu is progressing rapidly in his studies, having already learned how to dodge marbles from the rear. Although Han Feng and Zhou Jianbing are a bit less talented, they started cultivation earlier than Luo Hu, so they're almost at the sa stage, so Luo Chao plans to take so ti to guide them into real combat.
Additionally, he plans to visit his goddaughter and also prepare for a visit to so acquaintances' hos; therefore, this weekend is relatively busy.
Hearing Luo Chao say that he was available from Sunday noon onwards, Song Ke'Er imdiately brightened up and turned away: "Then… Call on Sunday noon!"
