“Brother Yang, I have tried my best, but there is still an incubation period for the voodoo, which will be effective after a period of growth in the Petri dish.” Zhang Zhishen wiped the sweat on his forehead and said to Yang Ming.

“It doesn’t matter. Just do your best.” Yang Ming expected that this item could not be obtained immediately. Zhang Zhishen helped him to cultivate the voodoo through a sleepless night which was already hard enough.

“This is considered fast. Without any accidents, you can use it in the afternoon,” said Zhang Zhishen.

“Okay, thanks for the hard work. What is the interval between the episodes of this voodoo?” asked Yang Ming.

“It’s about twenty-four to thirty hours,” Zhang Zhishen said. “Brother Yang, do you have any special needs? The time can be controlled based on the voodoo activity.”

“No. This time is enough, but after this incident, I hope to postpone the attack time of this voodoo to about one year.” Yang Ming thought about it. “If you can extend the initial voodoo duration, it will be fine.”

“This should be no problem.” Zhang Zhishen said, “But I need to use another formula.”

“You can start with the modification.” Yang Ming said, “I have to go out and do something now. I’ll have to trouble you and Xiao Qi.”

At this moment, the sky was already brightly lit. It was already half-past five in the morning. Yang Ming had other important things to do! That was to investigate the people around Tian Long!

Although Fang Tian also had some connections in secret with some people who were also running private investigations, these non-governmental organizations were not as strong as the official organizations. It took a certain amount of trouble to investigate, and the efficiency was very slow.

Therefore, Yang Ming decided to go to Xia Xue for help. Even though Yang Ming could look for Chen Fei due to his personal relationship with Chen Fei, he could not lie about certain things to him. There were a lot of inconveniences in looking for Chen Fei to help. It was easy to expose his relationship with the Sun Family and Sun Jie, which Yang Ming was now unwilling to reveal.

However, he could actually request help from Xia Xue. Yang Ming could use his identity in the Supernatural Investigation Bureau, telling Xia Xue that he was investigating Elder You, and it involved Tian Long.

Thinking of this, Yang Ming dialed Xia Xue’s mobile phone.

“Hello? Yang Ming?” Over at Xia Xue’s side, there was a loud noise in the downtown area. Obviously, she was outside.

“Xia Xue, where are you? I need to look for you for something,” asked Yang Ming.

“I’m doing morning exercises near my home. I’m going to have something to eat,” Xia Xue said. “Are you looking for me? Official business or private matters?”

“Both,” Yang Ming said with a smile. “The private matter is to treat you for a meal. You will know about the official business once we meet.”

“I’m just asking. Is there really official business?” Xia Xue was slightly surprised, but she also knew that Yang Ming’s current status was somewhat special. He was a Supernatural Investigation Bureau person who was responsible for investigating some supernatural events. Their local police station needed to provide unconditional and full cooperation.

” En , I am going to find you now,” said Yang Ming.

Yang Ming had been to Xia Xue’s place several times. He was naturally familiar with the route to Xia Xue’s residential area. Yang Ming noticed Xia Xue who was jogging afar because Yang Ming’s eyesight was great and went through the pedestrians in the community. It was easy to locate Xia Xue.

“Xia Xue!” Yang Ming parked the car on the sidewalk of the residential area and shouted at her not far ahead.

Xia Xue looked back and saw Yang Ming. She waved her hand at him, speeding up her pace as she rushed to him. She opened the front door and got in the car.

“You finally have a license plate number for your car? The number is good!” Xia Xue saw Yang Ming’s license plate when she got in the car. “But it carries a hint of nouveau riche [1]? Isn’t it too eye-catching?”

“My friend helped out with it. Isn’t it a number from the auction?” Yang Ming shrugged helplessly. “I have reserved a new car. I ordered an Audi Q7 [2] and will just simply pick a number.”

“Q7? You really have money.” Xia Xue grinned. “Such a good car has to be replaced because the license plate is too conspicuous. It really hurts my heart.”

“How about I give this car to you at that time?” Yang Ming smiled.

“Forget about it. I am just a little policeman. Driving such a luxury car, do you want me to make mistakes?” Xia Xue glanced at Yang Ming.

” Hehe , I give it to you for free, and yet you don’t want it. It’s the first time I encountered this.” Yang Ming smiled.

“However, when you are getting a new car plate number, you can find me. I can give you a number of police stations. There are no traffic restrictions based on even and odd-numbered license plates,” said Xia Xue.

“What is the meaning behind this? Abusing power for personal gain?” Yang Ming glanced at Xia Xue. Song Jiang’s traffic volume had increased significantly this year. Since there was a need to repair damaged roads due to the freeze as it would soon be spring after winter, many sections had the restriction of odd and even license numbers. However, Yang Ming’s license plate was not a special number, but no one would intercept it.

“Nonsense. You are the person over there. For the convenience of doing things, I will give you our license plate number. This is what I promised to my brother. Did you think that if you didn’t have the identity there, I would give you this license plate number?” Xia Xue said in annoyance.

After Xia Xue said this to Yang Ming, he only remembered that he was considered as one of the officials.

“Great, then when the car arrives, I will go to you.” It wasn’t that Yang Ming wanted to take this advantage. But, as Xia Xue said, if he hung such a car plate number, it was much more convenient in doing things. At the very least, he would not get a ticket because he parked his car on the roadside.

“Tell me; what are you looking for?” Xia Xue asked after she got in the car.

“I’m looking for you to help me investigate this person,” Yang Ming said. “This person has been very unusual recently. I suspect that other people are standing behind him.”

“Other people? Who?” Xia Xue asked subconsciously, but after asking, she closed her mouth because she understood the system. Yang Ming’s investigation was not something that they could participate in. It was some special case, and although her brother, Xia Bingbao, was also a person over there, he won’t tell her about the case.

“There is no progress with the matter, and there are some things that can’t be said…” Yang Ming shrugged apologetically.

“I understand; it’s okay.” Xia Xue smiled. She was not a little girl who was not sensible. Some systems were just systems; it could not be changed because of personal relationships. “Who am I investigating?”

“Investigate Donghai. The secretary and driver around Tian Long, including everyone close to him,” said Yang Ming.

“Tian Long? Is it that Tian Long whose origin is mingling in the underworld?” Xia Xue apparently heard of Tian Long’s name, but these underworld people must be focused on by the police. As long as they didn’t do something too exaggerated, the police would not trouble them. After all, these people had legitimate businesses, but they were inevitably filled with bad backgrounds.

“Yes, it is him.” Yang Ming nodded and said.

“He is a person from Donghai. It is more suitable to let the Donghai police station investigate.” Xia Xue said, “You can show your identity directly.”

“Indeed!” Yang Ming heard to Xia Xue’s words and finally responded. His identity was not just useful in Song Jiang but in other places too. “But, since I looked for you, then you can accompany me to Donghai together.”

“How about we make it in the afternoon? I have a meeting in the morning.” Xia Xue thought about it and said, “But I have to come back at night. I am on duty tonight.”

Yang Ming also thought so too. After investigating the people around Tian Long, he was about to take action. It was inconvenient if Xia Xue was at his side.

“Alright, let’s drive. I will give you the car when you arrive. You can just drive it back,” said Yang Ming.

“How will you come back?” asked Xia Xue.

“I have my own ways.” Yang Ming thought, After dealing with Tian Long, the Sun Family will have regained their power. At that time, there is no need to be afraid of not having a car to drive back. So, there is no need to worry about how to come back.

“Then, I won’t bother with you. Anyway, if you don’t have a car, you can borrow one from the Donghai police station.” Xia Xue said, “It’s still early. Where are we going?”

“Of course, we are looking for a place to eat.” Yang Ming said, “I know that there is a morning tea shop with fried cakes. It was moved away from Shanty Town. The taste is very authentic. I know you like to eat it, so I paid extra attention to it. Now, I’m bringing you over.”

” Ah …” Xia Xue’s heart was suddenly moved. She didn’t expect that Yang Ming still hadn’t forgotten her preferences after such a long time. Ever since she was young, and she went out to study independently, for a long time, no one cared about her so much.

“You don’t want to eat?” When Yang Ming saw that Xia Xue was in a daze, he was somewhat baffled.

“No…” Xia Xue shook her head hard and said, “Yang Ming, thank you!”

“Thank me for what?” Yang Ming was somewhat inexplicably confused by Xia Xue’s sudden move.

“Nothing…” Xia Xue smiled and pursed her lips. “Are we going now? Let’s go ahead.”

“Of course, we are going now. Didn’t I say that I will be treating you previously!?” Yang Ming said, “Are you going to let go of me, your long-term meal ticket?”

Xia Xue’s face suddenly blushed. When she said this sentence before, she didn’t think so much of it. After thinking about it, she felt that something was wrong. Yang Ming’s mention now made Xia Xue somewhat shy. She said as she clenched her teeth, “In your dreams. You have so much money. I want to kill the rich and help the poor!”

“I’m afraid that you can’t make me poor.” Yang Ming shrugged.

Xia Xue just said it casually. She knew that Yang Ming was wealthy now. How much money could breakfast cost?

“Right, how do you know that this restaurant has fried cakes?” Xia Xue was a bit baffled. Not many young people liked to eat traditional food. Hence, not many breakfast shops would sell these kinds of things. Song Jiang’s breakfast shops also appealed to fashion and trends. It was all about the Hong Kong and Taiwanese snacks.

“This breakfast shop is the one we used to eat at in Shanty Town. They now opened a shop.” Yang Ming said, “Isn’t the Shanty Town relocated? They used the compensation for the relocation and got a shop to serve traditional breakfast. Their business is not bad!”
