Chapter 423 – Forbidden Objects Collection

　　Lin Qiye didn’t rush to pick up the blade, but instead turned around and gazed at the man.

　　”Why did you give me this collection?” Lin Qiye asked suspiciously, “Even Wang Mian only took one Sequence 301 forbidden item, why did you give me such a high-risk knife?”

　　”Of course it’s because Captain Lin deserves it.” The man smiled and spoke, “Your potential will only be higher than Wang Mien’s, and Master believes that you …… are the true home for this forbidden object.”

　　Lin Qiye frowned slightly and was about to say something when the man continued:

　　”In addition to that, Master may have a little selfishness.”

　　”What selfishness?”

　　”One day in the future, if the Baili family encounters any problems, they will still have to rely on you to help them ……” the man said respectfully.

　　”So this is just a deal?” Lin Qiye read his meaning and asked with a frown.

　　”A deal, and what’s wrong with that?” The man smiled slightly, “We guarantee that this matter will be within your capabilities and will never violate the rules of your Night’s Watch in a sensible way.”

　　Lin Qiye fell into silence.

　　Indeed, in a sense, a transaction was more reassuring than a mere gift.

　　If it was really as he said, asking himself to help the Baili family in the future with a favor that didn’t violate the rules of the Night’s Watch and was still within his ability, it didn’t seem like an excessive request.

　　And this is, after all, Baili fat family property, if there is really a day, Baili family out of something, see in the face of Baili fat, even if there is no pay, he should also help.

　　Thinking about it this way, this deal seemed cost-effective.

　　”Okay, I promise you.” Lin Qiye closed the black box up and put it behind his back as he calmly spoke.

　　Seeing Lin Qiye put away the [Chopping White], the smile on the man’s face grew even wider and he bowed deeply, “You and your squad will be the Baili family’s friends forever.”

　　By the time Lin Qiye walked out of the room carrying [Zhanbai], the other three had already picked out the forbidden objects they wanted.

　　Cao Yuan picked a string of white Buddha beads that hung on his hand, An Qingyu took a four-sided iron box that he couldn’t tell what it was, and Jia Lan picked a silver-colored vintage bracelet that he was playing with with his head down, looking like he liked it very much.

　　”It seems that all of you have already picked out your items, so let’s go straight to the venue.” The man said with a smile.

　　A few people left the collection hall, and with the forbidden objects they had each picked out, they once again took the elevator.

　　This time, they headed straight to the top floor of this main building, the 166th floor.

　　Shangjing City.

　　”Commander Ye.”

　　”Good day, Commander Ye.”

　　Ye Fan, dressed in civilian clothes, walked in the corridors of the Vigilantes’ headquarters, and the staff members who passed by took the initiative to greet him, and Ye Fan nodded slightly as he took a step to continue walking forward.

　　”So, you felt that someone was going to be unfavorable to Baili Tu Ming, so you intentionally withheld his team entry documents?” Beside him, Zuo Qing spoke thoughtfully.

　　”That’s right.” Ye Fan nodded.

　　”That’s not right.” Zuo Qing frowned slightly, “Baili Tu Ming is the heir of the Baili Group, if I were his competitor, I would have hoped that he would hurry up and join the special squad, too busy to manage the group all day long, and be a handful so that I can corrupt the group little by little, it would be even better if he could die in battle outside… …Why go to the trouble of withholding his joining papers?”

　　”That’s what puzzles me.”

　　The two of them walked up to the door of the archive room and showed their papers one after the other, then they walked in.

　　The archive room housed many highly classified documents, and only the higher echelons of the Night’s Watch were allowed to enter it, so the environment was much quieter than the outside, and the two walked through the metal shelves full of archive bags, heading straight into the depths.

　　”There’s another possibility that the person who withheld the documents is Baili Xin.” Ye Fan searched through the metal racks for the documents while speaking, “He’s an honorary senior of the Night’s Watch, and also Baili Tu Ming’s father, so if it was him who didn’t want his son to risk his life to join the special squad and thus withheld the application for joining the squad, it all makes sense.”

　　Zuo Qing stood in front of the metal frame, bowed his head in contemplation for a long time, and shook his head.

　　”You and I both know what kind of person Baili Xin is …… cold-blooded, ruthless, and profit is paramount, if his son joined the special squad, it would only allow him to gain a greater voice in the high-level meeting, and even be a good thing for the entire Baili Group, how could he possibly pity his son’s life that he would give up such a great benefit?”

　　”Whew ……”

　　Ye Fan gently blew on a certain layer of the metal shelves, blowing up the dust on these long-stored document bags, reaching out and waving away the soot, his fingertips slid over the stacked document bags, seemingly searching for something.

　　Eventually, his fingers came to a stop on some brand new file bag.

　　”The situation here seems to be far more complicated than we imagined.” Behind Ye Fan, he removed the bag with the words “Baili Tu Ming” from the metal frame, “Anyway, let’s start with Baili Tu Ming’s Vigilant file, starting from his entry into the Vigilantes, and push back little by little to …… See which part of the process went wrong.”

　　Zuo Qing nodded, his eyes fell on this file bag, and a puzzled look surfaced in his eyes.

　　”Strange, this file bag should also have been placed for more than two years, right? How come it’s still so new?”

　　Ye Fan’s hand that was unwrapping the document bag gave a slight lurch, his brows furrowed, and the speed of unwrapping the document became faster.

　　He pulled out a thick pile of papers from the document bag, and starting from the first page, he carefully flipped through them, and the moment his eyes landed on the first piece of paper, his entire body froze in place.

　　In his mind, the chubby figure sitting on the ice boat that he met that day at sea came to mind.

　　His brows furrowed tightly.

　　”How could this be? How is this possible ……” He held the document in his hands in a daze, his eyes filled with doubt and incomprehension.

　　”What’s wrong?” Zuo Qing took the documents from his hands and flipped through them one by one, “There’s nothing wrong with these documents?”

　　”No, it’s not right!” Ye Fan shook his head repeatedly, “Wrong, all wrong ……”

　　He turned around and quickly walked to the computer in the deepest part of the archive room, and quickly called up Baili Tu Ming’s electronic document, the scroll wheel quickly scratched over this document, and his face became more and more gloomy.

　　”The birthday banquet of the Baili family is on that day?” He turned his head and asked Zuo Qing.

　　Zuo Qing thought about it, “It should be today.”

　　”Where is the Fifth Reserve Unit?”

　　”At the birthday banquet.” Zuo Qing replied as a matter of course, “Wasn’t it you who personally granted them these two days of vacation?”

　　”Damn ……”

　　Ye Fan shoved the document in his hand into Zuo Qing’s hand and spoke seriously, “I have an important meeting to hold in a while, Zuo Qing, you go to Guangshen for me!

　　If I’m not wrong, something big is going to happen to Baili Group ……”
