Beautiful CEO's Super Expert-Chapter 643 - Speculation about Blood Cultivators
Su Chen was acutely aware at this moment that Lin Ruoxue must have been involved in something significant over these past few days.
"Alright, you don't need to worry anymore, I'll find the time to ask her when I'm free."
With a smile, Su Chen said he decided to ask Lin Ruoxue about it when he returned home in the evening.
Although he agreed that everyone should have their own space, that didn't mean he could simply wash his hands of the matter.
If Lin Ruoxue really encountered some insurmountable obstacle and she, being stubborn, was unwilling to share, what then?
After spending a while in Xia Qiuru's office, Su Chen prepared to go back to his own office.
Halfway there, he received a call from Demon, stating that a team from Group A had just boarded a plane and was expected to arrive in four hours.
After receiving this call, Su Chen finally felt at ease, as this would essentially ensure Lin Ruoxue's safety.
He then instructed Demon to scale back operations for the time being, as he himself would return shortly and there was important business to attend to!
Demon, naturally having no objections to Su Chen's orders, excitedly agreed right away.
After returning to his office, Su Chen played a few games of Fight the Landlord and then lay back in his chair, pondering the matters concerning the major families.
He still had a few cards in hand, but how to maximize their efficacy was a matter of great deliberation!
Additionally, Xu Xinran's visit today reminded him of another issue, the case of the missing girls.
This case had been a constant worry for Su Chen, making him somewhat uneasy because it was linked to the evil practice of Blood Cultivation.
However, the last time Du Hanshuang mentioned that Qin Ming had left one or two people on the case, so it might be worth asking this old fellow if there were any new leads.
After that, Su Chen drove to the Special Security Bureau. Although it wasn't his first visit, he still had to announce his arrival, for that was the protocol which Su Chen would naturally respect.
When Qin Ming saw Su Chen again, his expression was very complicated. Although he had long speculated about his identity, he was still shocked when it was confirmed!
He had been worried that this fellow would cause trouble, and indeed, he had.
The very night his identity was unveiled, he had mercilessly humiliated the Five Great Families at the financial summit!
Overnight, the whole of Yandu knew the name Su Chen!
"What, you don't recognize me after just a few days' absence?"
Seeing the complexity in Qin Ming's expression upon viewing himself, Su Chen said jokingly.
"You better take it easy."
Qin Ming sighed, knowing it was futile to persuade him to give up.
It wasn't just him; it was unlikely that anyone in such a situation could easily relinquish their agenda.
He just hoped that Su Chen would proceed cautiously and not stir up issues too big to handle.
"I know what I'm doing."
Su Chen stated bluntly, not wanting to discuss this topic with Qin Ming, after all, he was, in a sense, an official.
"By the way, why did you suddenly decide to visit me today?"
Realizing that Su Chen did not want to talk about this matter, Qin Ming changed the subject:
"You're not one to come without a reason."
"Indeed, I'm here on business."
Su Chen nodded and said:

"Do you remember the case of the missing girls in Jianghai?"
"How do you know about that case?"
Qin Ming asked in astonishment.
"Nonsense, it was I who had Jiang Lixing contact you guys in the first place."
Su Chen replied with a curl of his lip.
"No wonder!"
Qin Ming suddenly realized, saying:
"I always thought that the police chief of Jianghai wouldn't have the insight to report the case to us."
"To be honest, I don't think you will be able to solve it either, but you're at least more useful than the police."
Su Chen casually said.
Upon hearing this, Qin Ming's old face involuntarily turned red:
"Can't you leave some face for our Special Security Bureau?"
"Then have you found anything? If you have, I will apologize for what I said just now."
"No, apart from that initial badge, we haven't found anything."
Qin Ming awkwardly shook his head:
"But I feel that the killer definitely has some kind of special purpose. As for what it is, I still don't know."
Since it was Su Chen who had asked Jiang Lixing to report to the Special Security Bureau, he trusted that Jiang Lixing must have also told him about this clue, which in fact he had.
"Of course, there's a purpose. I suspect that the killer has practiced a special cultivation technique, and that particular technique requires a large amount of virgin's blood,"
Su Chen said solemnly.
"A special cultivation technique? What kind of cultivation technique is that?"
Qin Ming immediately widened his eyes and asked. If that was the case, then the matter was indeed serious.
"I don't know. I only heard my old ghost master mention it when I was a child. He said that there is a kind of person in the world who uses the blood of virgins, or the blood of children, for cultivation, and this method of cultivation is called Blood Cultivation!"
Su Chen uttered with uncertainty.
"Blood Cultivation?"
Qin Ming murmured with puzzlement, as he had never heard of such a method of cultivation.
However, just hearing about it, it sounded like an evil and heterodox practice, extremely cruel!
"I came to ask if the people you've left there recently have collected any clues?"
Su Chen looked at Qin Ming and asked.
"No, after that, three more girls were killed, but still no valuable clues."
Qin Ming frowned and said:
"However, I suspect that they must be sheltered by someone influential in Jianghai, and perhaps even provided with a place to stay."
"I've thought of that, but Jianghai is a big city, with hundreds and thousands of influential people; it's not easy to investigate!"
Su Chen agreed and nodded.
"Yeah, it's not like you can just arrest and interrogate everyone."
Qin Ming expressed his helplessness with a shrug.
"That's definitely not going to work, but still, send more people over and be more diligent."
Su Chen sighed:
"Although I do not hold much hope, do your best."
Su Chen really didn't harbor much hope, not because those who practiced Blood Cultivation were necessarily very powerful, but because they, including Su Chen himself, were too unfamiliar with it. Even if the culprit stood in front of you, you might not recognize them. If just sending more people were effective, he would have asked for it already.
"Okay, I'll arrange it in a bit,"
Qin Ming immediately nodded.
"By the way, about that badge with the demon pattern, my feeling is the same as the others; it seems like something from an Island Country faction or shrine."
Qin Ming furrowed his eyebrows and asked Su Chen:
"Do you think that Blood Cultivator could be from the Island Country?"
"At the moment, we can only say it's a possibility,"
Su Chen said thoughtfully:
"Firstly, that badge isn't necessarily from a certain organization in the Island Country, and even if it is, does it definitely belong to the killer? Could it not be possible that the criminal obtained it from someone from the Island Country and carelessly or intentionally left it at the scene?"
"What you said could also be possible. Ah, forget it, it's giving me a headache. I don't want to think about it anymore, especially because we still have too few clues!"
Qin Ming shook his head and said.
