Lantern Sister is still very capable.

Chapter 6 Investigation

Yu Angang had just come out of the investigation room when he saw Liang Wufan walking by with a pig-headed face and a dejected look on his face.

"Brother Liang? Your face looks terrible!"

Yu An's words finally opened up a floodgate of conversation for Liang Wufan. He let out a long sigh, his facial muscles twitching in pain, "Ouch—don't even mention it! I knew the boss was awesome, but I never imagined he could actually cripple someone else's superpowers!"

What? !

Yu An's pupils dilated in shock, and he exclaimed, "Abolish superpowers?"

“Yeah! You don’t believe me either!” Liang Wufan slapped his thigh, finally finding a kindred spirit. “I just didn’t investigate, right? To be honest, even if I did, I wouldn’t have found anything! Brother Yang was so angry! When he interrogated that country bumpkin, he found out that the guy didn’t have any superpowers, so he questioned me, and I found out! Ugh, how was I supposed to know? That guy didn’t say it himself, how could I not have superpowers?”

After saying that, he turned to seek comfort, "Anzi, can you tell?"

"No, I can't." Yu An looked like he was in a daze.

“I knew it!” Liang Wufan said, then called to Yu An, “Hey right, I was just looking for you! Brother Yang wants us to go to the scene with him again to check the surveillance footage and see if we can bring that fire-type big shot back.”

"Please come back?"

"Hey, what else? You dare touch such a powerful figure? Don't you understand the power of abolishing superpowers? This is a huge deal, it could reshuffle the entire superpower world. The big shots at the top are ecstatic, they're just worried about how to deal with this mess we're causing... cough cough, you know, those fire-type guys at the base must be ecstatic, with that guy coming, these guys who usually get beaten up like idiots finally have someone to back them up." Liang Wufan coughed twice, glanced at the figure in the distance, and quickly changed the subject.

"Huh? Ah!" Yu An was still pondering the impact of abolishing superpowers and hadn't reacted yet upon hearing this.

"Don't think about it! Director Wu is over there!" Liang Wufan winked at Yu An.

Yu An smiled wryly, "Brother Liang, aren't you a little late in saying that? Director Wu is a Level 4, he can hear us."

"Look at you, it's no fun if you just say what you both know!" Liang Wufan was speechless at his honesty and couldn't help but kick him.

"What? You dare to have a private fight at the base?"

The husky male voice carried a gloomy tone, making Liang Wufan's face sting with pain. He quickly forced a smile, "How could I dare, Brother Yang! I'm the most law-abiding person in our base!"

"I think he's the most unreliable person," Wu Qingyun said with a smile.

"Hehe, look at what you're saying. On important matters, I guarantee my heart will always be with the base!" Liang Wufan's shamelessness made Yu An feel ashamed.

Wu Qingyun just smiled and didn't say anything more, but got into the car first.

"Stop talking nonsense and keep up." Yang Guizhou glanced at Liang Wufan, then turned and strode away like the wind.

"Alright!" Liang Wufan jogged a few steps to catch up, not forgetting to call out to Yu An as he walked, "Brother Yang, are you going to the training camp soon? Are you taking the team with you this time? We're all waiting for your news! My wife asked me yesterday, saying that if I'm going, she'd prepare a few durable everyday clothes for me."

Yang Guizhou glanced at him and snorted, "Hoping I'll leave?"

"Look at what you're saying! That's absolutely not true! With you at the base, everyone in our team can walk with their heads held high. How could we possibly want you to leave?!" Liang Wufan repeatedly pledged his loyalty, almost to the point of swearing an oath to heaven. Yu An's eyes flickered slightly upon hearing this, but he kept his head down and continued walking.

"I'll leave as soon as Lao Zhao comes back in a few days, without the team," Yang Guizhou quickly gave the message. "Keep an eye on those few bastards in the team. If I find out they've gotten involved in anything when I get back, I'll deal with them." He had specially assigned a few troublemakers to his team. They were fine when he was at the base, but they always caused trouble when they went out.

"Understood." Liang Wufan nodded, then obsequiously opened the back door of the car. "Brother Yang, please."

"Alright, stop with that." Yang Guizhou rolled his eyes and slapped away Liang Wufan's hand that was blocking the car roof. A tingling sensation came over him, making Liang Wufan howl.

Yu An remained silent for a moment, then turned and went to the passenger seat. Liang Wufan shook his hand, which had been numb from the electric shock, and silently grinned. Then, as if remembering something, he laughed and got into the driver's seat, humming a song in his mind.

Once Brother Yang leaves, he'll be the fourth-in-command of the base. At that point, he'll be either a grandson or a grandpa!

The special affairs team first went to the bluestone alley of Guihua Street. Apart from the charred marks from the fire, there was nothing left, no bloodstains, fingerprints, footprints, sweat, or even a single hair.

Yang Guizhou had a dark expression on his face, while Wu Qingyun remained calm and made his way to the shops near the intersection of Guihua Street that were equipped with surveillance cameras.

Yang Guizhou grabbed the milk tea shop manager by the collar and growled, "It's only been two hours, and you're telling me the surveillance footage was automatically deleted? You're kidding me!!"

The manager, his face covered in spittle, didn't dare to wipe it away. He glanced at the epaulets on the men's shoulders and said with a forced smile, "Sigh, it's a small business, so the surveillance equipment we bought isn't very good. There really isn't any record."

"Xiao Yang, don't get agitated." Wu Qingyun raised his hand to stop him. Yang Guizhou put down the milk tea shop manager's chair with a look of annoyance. Only then did Wu Qingyun say, "Can we take a look at the automatic text record of the surveillance footage? I remember that the minimum deletion time on the market is 24 hours."

"I'm so sorry, the automatic recordings along with the surveillance footage have all been cleared." The milk tea shop manager wiped his face and smiled awkwardly.

Even Wu Qingyun's face turned cold. It was really hard to explain. The group then went to a toy store, a noodle shop, and even an adult product store on the same street to check. All the managers just said one thing: "No, automatically deleted."

"Damn it, are you kidding me?" Liang Wufan uttered a soul-searching greeting. Yang Guizhou couldn't help but kick him, and only then did he shut up.

Yu An looked thoughtfully at the milk tea shop manager who was talking to the shop assistant, without saying a word.

"Alright, looks like it's hopeless. Let's go back to base." Wu Qingyun waved his hand helplessly and got into the car.

The group arrived full of joy, only to leave with eyes full of disappointment.

Inside the self-service milk tea shop, a staff member casually restocked the machine and asked curiously, "Manager, did you really delete it?"

The manager wiped his face with a wet wipe, spat outside, and said, "Pah! What are those few policemen so smug about?" Then he casually replied, "They really deleted it. It was done half an hour ago. Someone from above ordered them to delete it. It happened right after these guys. It's really weird."

"They don't look like local police officers, they look more like military bigwigs." The shop assistant chuckled, then refilled the condiments and remarked with a puzzled look, "They're going to use up the condiments really fast today!"

"What are you muttering about? Hurry up and finish cleaning so we can go grab a drink. What a terrible day!"

"Okay, you're treating!"

"Consider it a loss to avoid further trouble."

"hey-hey."
