I Became the Alchemy Master by Picking Up Trash-Chapter 245 - 243: Zhu Zhi

Jiang Xiuhui put all her strength into that slap, and Zhu Zhi was hit so hard that he spat out a mouthful of blood and his molars loosened.

Zhu Zhi, enraged and humiliated: "Li Xing, you’re done! I’m going to sue you for illegal detention and assault! Just wait for the lawsuit!"

Zhu Zhi’s arrogant attitude completely angered Zhao Yi, who skillfully took out instruments from the folding drawer, ready to get to work.

"I’ll show you today what an assault really means!"

Zhu Zhi was frightened by what Zhao Yi had taken out and shouted loudly:

"You can’t torture me! I have a police alarm device on me. If my blood pressure or heart rate fluctuates greatly, the City Lord Mansion’s central brain will be notified, automatically locate me, and send a rescue. None of you will escape then!"

Zhao Yi’s actions stopped, and he turned to look at Zheng Qi: "Is there really such a thing?"

Zheng Qi nodded: "There really is."

Zhao Yi threw it down angrily: "Why don’t we have one too?"

Damn it! There’s no shortage of money! With this device on, they wouldn’t have to search the world for Yang Zhou, wasting so much time.

Zheng Qi signaled him with his eyes to shut up, not to ask blindly if he doesn’t understand.

The more comprehensive the alarm function, the easier it is to trace the location of the central brain. The City Lord Mansion isn’t afraid on the surface, but their Freedom Army’s base is afraid of being exposed.

"Zhao Yi, back off, I’ll ask." Yang Zhou’s life indicators were dropping again, Li Xing had no patience to waste time with Zhu Zhi.

Zhu Zhi snorted contemptuously, with the alarm device on him, no one dared to torture him. He didn’t believe Li Xing had the ability to pry open his mouth.

Li Xing moved a chair, sat in front of Zhu Zhi, and began to question.

"Your name is Zhu Zhi."

"You are a spider."

"You are a guard at the City Lord Mansion."

"You know Jiang Junnan."

"The Holy Pill was sold to him by you."

...

Everything Li Xing said was declarative sentences, one after another, giving Zhu Zhi no time to respond, as if she could read minds and already heard Zhu Zhi’s thoughts.

"Final question, you are a disciple of the Immortal Slayer Cult."

Zhu Zhi said nothing, but his micro-expression had already told Li Xing the correct answer, he was indeed a member of the Immortal Slayer Cult.

Since Zhu Zhi was not innocent at all, what she had to do next didn’t require any psychological burden.

Zhu Zhi: "What Immortal Slayer Cult disciple, don’t falsely accuse me! I— cluck, cluck!"

Before Zhu Zhi could continue to argue, Li Xing reached out and pinched his forehead, Divine Sense surged out, starting the Soul Search.

Zheng Qi, Zhao Yi, and Jiang Xiuhui watched in shock as Zhu Zhi’s mouth opened, his gaze shifting from fear to emptiness, while Li Xing’s expression became increasingly grave.

A minute later, Li Xing released her hand, and Zhu Zhi foamed at the mouth, his eyes rolled back, slumping in the chair. Li Xing’s first Soul Search left her inexperienced, but due to Divine Sense’s crushing effect, Zhu Zhi had no ability to resist.

Jiang Xiuhui: "Dead, dead?"

Li Xing: "Not dead, he’s still useful. Go home and wait for news. Once this is over, I’ll let you personally finish him off to avenge your brother."

Jiang Xiuhui nodded emphatically, her eyes reddening again: "Thank you, Li Xing!"

After Jiang Xiuhui left, Li Xing then said to Zheng Qi and Zhao Yi:

"I know where Principal Yang is."

Zheng Qi and Zhao Yi asked in unison: "Where!"

"At the City Lord Mansion in Tianyi City. Xue Han is a hall master of the Immortal Slayer Cult, the City Lord Mansion in Tianyi City is precisely a branch of the Immortal Slayer Cult."

Zheng Qi and Zhao Yi were shocked: "What—! Miss Li, are you not joking?"

Li Xing shook her head, the result of the Soul Search couldn’t be faked.

In Zhu Zhi’s memory, Yang Zhou voluntarily followed Xue Han into the City Lord Mansion three days ago and hasn’t come out since.

Yang Zhou didn’t know Xue Han’s true identity, his guard was not strong, easy to fall into a trap.

Zhao Yi’s face was solemn: "If it’s really like this, Adviser Yang’s situation is too dangerous!"

Zheng Qi was worried: "The City Lord Mansion of Tianyi City is one of the most heavily guarded places in the upper city, how can we enter?"

Zhao Yi slapped the table, shouting: "Damn it! No choice, I’ll gather the brothers right away and force our way in!"

"Yi, calm down! We know the City Lord Mansion has been infiltrated, but others don’t. Once the Freedom Army storms the political center of Tianyi City, let alone if we can rescue Adviser Yang, the spittle from public opinion could drown us. The reputation the Freedom Army has painstakingly built over more than ten years would collapse, and we’ll also face accountability and attack from the Elder Council, the cost is too much for us to bear!"

Zhao Yi’s eyes were red: "Then tell me, what to do!"

Zheng Qi was at a loss, he could only look at Li Xing, now Li Xing was their backbone.

Li Xing also felt that a direct assault wasn’t realistic, but if they found evidence of Xue Han’s crimes, things would be easier.

"Xiao Wu, mobilize all forces to spread the news about Xue Han being a hall master of the Immortal Slayer Cult. If you can’t find solid evidence, fabricate it, the bigger the impact, the better. Also, if anyone in the City Lord Mansion has any unclean matters, expose them as well. In short, I want you to make Xue Han and the City Lord Mansion stink in the shortest time possible!"

//Okay, Sister Xing!//

"Da Wu, try to hack into the City Lord Mansion’s central control system, find Principal Yang’s location."

//The firewall of the City Lord Mansion in Tianyi City is particularly thick, security level is extremely high, I need some time.//

"Do it as soon as possible, I need the architectural plans of the City Lord Mansion, the more detailed, the better!"

//Yes!//

"Also, check where Lin Caier is now."

A few seconds later, Zhou Wu had the information.

//Lin Caier is shopping in the jewelry section of Wan Tong Department Store in Tianyi City with two maids.//

"Zhao Yi, Zheng Qi, we’re going to find Lin Caier!"

"Yes!"

The three arrived at the tenth floor of Wan Tong Department Store, Li Xing immediately noticed Lin Caier instructing the staff bossily, having them fetch jewelry from the Space Cabinet for her to try on.

Zhao Yi pulled over a screen to shield his body, sneakily asking Li Xing: "Miss Li, what should we do?"

"I’ll go over first in a moment and pick a fight with Lin Caier. You pretend to mediate, and seize the chance to grab one of those maids by the hair. Remember, you need to pull out at least one strand with the follicle, keep it, I need it."

"What?"

"What the hell, act now!"

Li Xing strode toward Lin Caier, Zheng Qi tugged on the bewildered Zhao Yi, pretending to look at the products, leisurely approaching Lin Caier’s group.

Lin Caier was admiring a crystal necklace when suddenly she heard a familiar voice in her ear.

"Oh—! Isn’t this Sister Lin, what a coincidence!"

Li Xing’s appearance caught Lin Caier by surprise, she immediately frowned, throwing the expensive Sares Crystal necklace into the tray, coldly saying:

"It’s you. Humph, Wan Tong Department Store is really getting worse. Even the luxury goods section can let any stray cat or dog in, don’t you see how shabby you look, do you match this place!"

Li Xing’s entire outfit was off-brand sportswear, looking quite shabby compared to Lin Caier’s branded long dress.

"Hehe, Sister Lin is right, all my clothes together can’t buy this item of yours."

Lin Caier was furious: "Who are you calling cheap!"

"Same sound, different word, why are you so sensitive, Sister Lin." Li Xing laughed as she leaned forward, continuing: "We’re all Healing Masters, no need to make relations so strained, don’t you think?"

Lin Caier snorted, her tone full of disdain as she said: "I don’t think that’s necessary. We’re not from the same circle, no need to force fit. After all, the level difference is too great, it would be uncomfortable to interact, why bother."

"Hmm, Sister Lin makes a good point, I also feel your level is quite a bit lower than mine, it might be quite difficult for us to communicate smoothly. Since Sister Lin is self-aware, I won’t bother forcing myself to stoop down."

"You—!"
