That's right …
He was such a good person. How could anyone be so afraid of him that they trembled the moment they saw him?
Lin Jie nodded in agreement. Then, he smiled and said, "By the way, I think I heard you mention the name Yue Sefu. Coincidentally, I also know someone named Yue Sefu."
"He's from a special department in the central police station. He also has a disciple named Ke Laode. Are they the same person I heard you mention just now?"
The corners of Ge Leige's mouth twitched. He now had a deeper understanding of what Sir Yue Sefu meant when he said that "the owner of the bookstore likes to act and speak as a mortal."
Since the poor guy next to him who seemed to be harboring evil intentions was also an Extraordinaire, there was no need to hide information from anyone present. There was no need to hide anything at all.
However, this demon still acted as if he was an "ordinary person who doesn't know anything" and acted as if it was real.
But every time you had the slightest doubt of whether he was really an ordinary person, he would seem to have seen through your heart and inadvertently say something that made your hair stand on end, immediately shattering your unrealistic imagination.
He repeatedly toyed with people's hearts like this. It was really sinister!
Ge Leige felt that he completely understood the nature of this demon. Wasn't it just being cooperative? As a detective, it was necessary for him to adapt to the situation. This level of pressure was still bearable.
"Yes." Ge Leige nodded and said thoughtfully, "I was just accepted as an apprentice disciple by Sir Yue Sefu about half a year ago. Ke Laode can be considered my senior." com
"I see."
Lin Jie nodded. "Ke Laode seems to have been seriously injured. Is he okay now? Sigh, the work in the central police station is really dangerous. I wonder what kind of mission could have caused him to be so seriously injured … "
It's all because of your subordinate, that 'black-scaled faceless man' Wang Erde!
Ge Leige secretly curled his lips.
As a member of the intelligence department, he had heard countless versions of Lin Jie's intelligence analysis.
If it wasn't for Wang Erde adding fuel to the fire during Osweiler's rebellion, with Ke Laode's strength, he definitely wouldn't have been unable to fight back.
Although the root cause was Osweiler, Wang Erde's motive was to restore the gargoyle that was originally given to the bookstore. Therefore, the culprit who led him to the bookstore must be the owner of the bookstore, Lin Jie.
The bookstore owner loved to set up conflicts in the dark. This was the consensus of all the supernatural beings who knew of his existence. It was also because of that incident that Yue Sefu was now engaged in a fierce battle with Wang Erde on the battlefield.
Yet, the culprit was still pretending to be innocent …
What a bad taste.
Although that was what Ge Leige thought, he still said, "Ke Laode has almost recovered, but he still can't move freely. Therefore, this time, he didn't go with Yue Sefu to … uh, carry out the mission."
That was close. He almost said that he wanted to eradicate the Corpse Food Cult.
This guy in front of him should theoretically be the true leader of the Corpse Food Cult … If he said that, he would be dead for sure!
Ge Leige trembled with fear. He felt that every word he said was a matter of life and death.
Lin Jie didn't notice the deeper meaning behind Ge Leige's slight pause. He was only relieved when he heard that. Although Ke Laode wasn't a customer of the bookstore, he had contributed a lot to the construction of the bookstore. He was also familiar with Lin Jie. If something happened, he would definitely be worried.
Fortunately, it didn't sound like a big problem.
"That's good. By the way, is Yue Sefu carrying out some dangerous mission again? I originally wanted to ask him for some help, but I can only give up … "Lin Jie asked," Do you know the specific situation? "
Ge Leige stammered, "Ah, um … this, it's indeed quite dangerous. However, it's not good to talk about this outside. I mean, this kind of mission usually can't be told to outsiders."
As he spoke, he glanced at Feige from the corner of his eye.
It was obvious who the "outsiders" was.
When this guy said that he was afraid, that arrogant and hostile gaze was still in front of him.
Ge Leige judged based on his professionalism that this guy probably wanted to use him to show his value — the value of a lackey.
Therefore, if this guy fanned the flames at the side, his true thoughts might really be exposed … Therefore, for his own safety, it was better to send this guy away first.
Lin Jie rubbed his chin and felt that it made sense. A mission from the Central Police Station, and one that was so dangerous and difficult, definitely had to be kept secret.
Thus, he turned his head and said, "Feige, you can drop me off here. It's getting late, go back to your room and get some rest."
In the end, Lin Jie even added politely, "Thank you very much. See you tomorrow."
"I …"
Feige only managed to say one word before he gloomily swallowed it all back down.
He had a pained expression and wanted to say something, but he didn't have a suitable reason, and he didn't dare to go against Boss Lin's words. He could only give a dry "Oh" and turn to leave. Before he left, he didn't forget to glare at Ge Leige as a warning.
It was all because of this kid that he missed the opportunity to get to know Boss Lin better!
It seemed that his intuition was right. This kid would hinder his career of cozying up to Boss Lin, but he hadn't reacted fast enough, and Boss Lin had beaten him to it …
It wasn't his fault for having such a strong sense of danger. After all, the young man in front of him was the second superhuman he had encountered up close at the banquet, and he had acted very strangely the moment they met.
Seeing that the opportunity that was supposed to be his was about to be taken away, he naturally had to take action.
But it seemed that it didn't have any effect …
"Oh, right." Lin Jie suddenly called out to Feige.
The latter turned his head in surprise, only to hear Lin Jie say earnestly, "Remember to finish reading that book when you get back. It'll be very helpful to you."
"…"
Feige nodded woodenly and turned to leave.
Although the only outsider had left, Lin Jie felt that it was very unreasonable to talk about such a secret matter in the corridor, so he simply invited Ge Leige into his room to sit and chat for a while.
"My room is quite big …"
Lin Jie looked around the interior of the room and could only sigh at the fact that it was indeed the manor of the richest person in Nuo Jin.
He picked a seat and sat down. He looked at Ge Leige, who had a nervous expression on his face, and said, "Alright, you can talk now."
Ge Leige felt as if he was sitting on pins and needles. For a moment, he was at a loss. What should he talk about?
Wasn't this guy the mastermind behind the scenes? Did he need someone else to explain the current situation to him?
He was just a lowly investigator. Although he was a disciple of the Yue Sefu, he was actually just a member in name. He could easily obtain general information, but he had no way of obtaining more advanced information. Regarding the current situation on the battlefield, he might not even know as much as an ordinary intelligence officer.
Thinking of this, Ge Leige couldn't help but feel a little discouraged.
After all, he was a magus, so it was normal for him to feel a little out of place in the Secret Ritual Tower, where most of the people were knights …
Lin Jie looked at the suddenly dejected young man in front of him. His heart skipped a beat, and he habitually revealed a businesslike smile. "What's wrong? Is there a problem or trouble? If you really can't talk about the mission, you can talk about something else. Maybe I can help you. "
The book can help you too, he added in his mind.
