Chapter 471
The agent froze, “Sir?”
“At 3 minutes and 24 seconds.” The detective pointed to the security footage and ordered, “Take this spot and zoom in.”
The agent was a little confused, but did as he was told.
He backed up the video and paused it.
The detective looked at it again carefully.
Halfway through, he frowned, “The model of this equipment is not included by ibi, go back and report it to the equipment department, then look into it.”
ibi included all the weaponry in the world, in order to be able to develop protective measures in the first place to maintain the safety of the world’s citizens.
“Okay.” The agent recorded, “What about the rest?”
“Nothing more.” The agent nodded, “Keep one copy, send it back to headquarters, and delete the rest.”
The video caught it very clearly, the speed of the girl as well as her stance.
The world was going to explode if this got out to the general public.
ibi dealt with hunters all the time, but anything involving the supernatural would have the footage deleted.
“Yes.” The agents quickly began deleting the footage.
An hour later, the entire city of Santa Sa was turned over and there were no more dangerous objects.
“Report to headquarters.” The detective took out ibi’s special contact device, “Crisis lifted.”
“HQ received.”
The detective went back to ibi’s stronghold in Sansa City, took the footage and watched it again intently.
Then shut himself up, still a little raw.
They had been fast enough, but as it turned out, someone had beaten them to it, and had taken care of all the restless people along the way.
Guess HQ is going to have to dock their pay this time.

In the early hours of the morning, Ying Ziji returned to the imperial capital from abroad.
When she arrived at Ji Yihang’s house, it was exactly six in the morning.
Mrs. Ji was already up and cooking breakfast.
When she saw her return, she smiled: “Yao Yao, did you go out with your boyfriend yesterday?”
Ying put the parcel down in her hand, “I should.”
She saw ibi’s agent, rounding up to sort of meet Fu Yunshen.
Mrs Ji took a carton of yoghurt out of the fridge and put it on the table, then cut up the bread and put it in the oven.
Ying rolled up her sleeves and started to help as well.
“Hey, Yaoyao, look.” Mrs Ji took out her phone, “I follow a big fan of yours, this fan of yours cut the video so well that I watched it several times.”
Ever since she started playing with Weibo with Ji Li’s help, Mrs. Ji had found a new joy.
Now she doesn’t watch TV anymore either, so she saves photos and videos in Super Talk.
“Hm?” Ying Ziji put down her knife and looked over.
She thought there was something familiar about the style of this clip video.
That was until she saw the name of the Weibo account.
@healthier-by-the-day.
Ying Zidian: “……”
It was her grandfather right.
Mrs Ji sighed again at this time, “This blogger is also quite generous, saying something about me being his 5.2 millionth follower and reaching the conditions for the lucky draw to give me a set of Aquamarine.”
Given Madame Ji’s condition, she naturally had no shortage of cosmetics, and used a range of blue-blooded high luxury.
But it was the first time she had drawn the prize and she was happy.
Ying Ziji started cutting the meat with an expressionless face.
Her grandfather, really, was the first to keep up with trends.
Sure enough, she was the one who was an old-fashioned.
**
Shanghai City.
The staff of Ying’s Group also knew the news of Ying Zhending’s death, but none of them had any feelings.
Ying Zhending was very oppressive to his employees in order to make Ying’s Group break into the imperial capital quickly.
With his death, the employees were relieved.
Some of the shareholders who had been supporting Ying Zhenting knew that the situation was over and left the Group.
The Ying Group is now officially cleaned up.
Ying Tianliu took a rare two-day break and went to see Master Zhong.
He went to see Master Zhong, who was, as usual, cutting videos.
Ying Tianru brought a gla*s of water and remembered the identification report he had seen: “Grandpa, how did D**ky get picked up back then? Just looked alike?”
“The dna identification was done, of course.” Elder Zhong looked at him like he was a fool, “Do you think those parents of yours they would have picked someone up without doing a paternity test?”
“I know.” Ying Tianru pressed his eyebrows, “I found D**ky’s paternity test in the president’s office, but the last page was blank.”
Elder Zhong wrinkled his brow, “I don’t know about that, but I asked your mother and she said that the test results were fine.”
He had been kept in the dark and only found out about it later, so naturally he had not seen that paternity test back then.
“I’m wondering if it’s possible that Ziji is not a member of Ying’s family.” Ying Tianru whispered, “But I recognise her as my sister anyway.”
There was only one possibility, that the paternity report had been switched.
But Ying Zhenting didn’t know about it either, or else he wouldn’t have locked it away in a disused safe.
“Oh, I’ve thought about that possibility too.” Elder Zhong slowly took off his old-fashioned gla*ses, “And thought it was a big possibility… Look at you guys instead, which bit of you resembles D**key?”
“Look, D**key has a boyfriend now, you’re over twenty and still an old bachelor, my great-grandson doesn’t even have a shadow.”
Ying Tianru’s head hurt as he listened, “Grandpa.”
“And ah.” Elder Zhong added, “She’s prettier than you and smarter than you, I don’t think she’s your real sister either.”
Ying Tianru: “……”

o Continent.
Taylor family.
A group of mercenaries, injured and disabled, were carried down on stretchers.
The men who carried them down were ibi agents.
It was left directly in front of the Taylor family’s entrance in a blatant demonstration.
After learning that the operation had failed, the middle-aged man spoke coldly, “A bunch of idiots!”
“Family head, calm down your anger.” Duke stepped forward and gave a bitter laugh, “We were careless, we didn’t expect that this time the ones dealing with Helvin would be ancient martial artists, and ibi was so concerned.”
“That’s no excuse.” The middle aged man’s voice was colder, “Who was the one who did it?”
“None, impossible to tell.” Duke wiped his sweat, “We got a small video of the person who did it, the person who did it didn’t show her face and could only be seen as female.”
The middle-aged man frowned, “Bring the video.”
Duke handed it over hastily.
“This body ……” The middle-aged man narrowed his eyes, “An ancient martial artist, yes.”
Very young, and with such a body.
They could count the ones they could match up to on a palm.
But no matter which one, they were definitely not to be messed with.
The middle-aged man exhaled slowly, “Trouble ……”
Only a direct member of a major family in the ancient martial world could possess such a strong force value at this age.
In the eyes of the four major plutocrats of O Continent, those few top families in the imperial capital wouldn’t make it into their eyes.
Like the Mu family, the Nie family only started doing business in the twentieth century, there is no way to compare with the four major zaibatsu of o-continent that have lasted for hundreds of years.
However, the ancient martial arts world is indeed a source of fear.
The Four Great Zaibatsu of O Continent relied on drugs to enable a few mercenaries to have the strength of ancient martial artists.
But they also knew that even the most advanced mercenaries could not compare with ancient martial artists whose cultivation had pa*sed a hundred years.
And there were not many ancient martial artists of this level in the ancient martial world.
Now, there was a good chance that they had messed with a major ancient martial family by taking a swing at Helvin!
“This ancient martial artist must be found within a short period of time.” The middle-aged man took a deep breath, “Then, someone must be sent to the door to apologise.”
“Family head, there’s really no way.” Duke shook his head, “She didn’t show her face from the beginning to the end, and she was far away, so it’s really impossible to see.”
The middle-aged man locked his brow.
That was a problem.
“House Master, there is a way.” The steward suddenly spoke up, “Didn’t the Four Great Zaibatsu set up a special database with videos of ancient martial artists, and specifically labeled with their names.”
“Upload this footage, and we might be able to match it up by the action.”
It was true that ancient martial artists did not come out of the ancient martial world much, but they were not absent either.
The four major Zaibatsu of the O Continent collected audio and video information of ancient martial artists who appeared in the outside world.
Because there was a difference in the ancient martial arts secrets refined by each of the major ancient martial arts families, the Lin family and the Yue family were completely different.
So sometimes, by virtue of their movements, they were able to tell which family they were members of.
If it was a small family, they wouldn’t care.
But with a large family, they would take it seriously and have to prepare gifts.
“Go.” The middle-aged man knocked on the table and spoke in a deep voice, “Go over to the database.”
The data bank was unified by the four major Zaibatsu of the O Continent, and one had to get permission from the other three before being able to enter.
It was already an hour later when he got the pa*s.
The middle-aged man couldn’t wait any longer and entered with a big stride, “Upload the video.”
Duke immediately uploaded the video in.
[Scanning in progress ……]
A crowd of people stared intently at the big blue screen.
[Matching complete]
The middle-aged man looked over with a glowing expression.
A photo popped up on the big screen, and a red box.
[Lin family, Lin Qingjia, 22 years old, match, 59.6%]
Chapter 472
The middle-aged man’s expression changed in an instant, “The Lin family?”
The Lin family was one of the three great families in the ancient martial world and was extremely powerful.
The hunters under the Taylor family had fought with the Lin family’s escort.
The middle-aged man naturally knew clearly how badly the Lin family was to be messed with.
The match wasn’t high, but at over 50%, it proved that the ancient martial art used by the person who had struck at their mercenaries was inherited from the Lin family.
There was even the possibility that it was Lin Qingjia himself.
Lin Qingjia was considered to be one of those who had made many appearances in the outside world, and they only had five videos, so it was natural that the movements could not all match.
The middle-aged man also knew that Lin Qingjia’s status in the ancient martial arts world was above that of the true direct members of the Lin family.
But it was also fortunate that it was Lin Qingjia, who was a doctor and therefore had a good temper.
There were also families on this side of the o-continent that had asked her to come over and see their patients, among them the Bevin family.
If it had been Lin Qingjia, they would have been able to salvage it by going to make amends in time.
However, before the middle-aged man could let go of this breath, the big blue screen unexpectedly proceeded to rotate.
Two more photos popped up, and a new box popped up as well.
[Yue Family, Yue Fuyi, 20 years old, match, 49.6%]
[Xie family, Xie Nian, 24 years old, match, 47.4%]
“……”
The data room was silent.
All sounds disappeared in an instant, and the stewards were dumbfounded as they looked at the three photos.
The middle-aged man took a breath backwards and couldn’t help but take a step back.
Duke was even more wide-eyed and lost his voice: “Family, family head, this ……”
In terms of technology, the four major Zaibatsu of O Continent were certainly far ahead of the ancient martial community.
Although this was the first time they were compared in the ancient martial artists’ database, there was absolutely no mistake.
This was because apart from the ancient martial artist’s database, they also had a hunter database.
It also matches the identities of possible hunters by virtue of the footage and thus traces them.
This matching technology is very high, and only the most compatible candidates will be selected.
This was the first time the middle-aged man had encountered a situation where several matches had come up.
“Home, home master ……” The steward’s body trembled as well. “Which one is this?”
They didn’t know much about ancient martial arts, they only knew that there were about several factions.
The most powerful ancient martial arts secrets were naturally controlled in the hands of the three great families of ancient martial arts.
Three matches had come out, which proved that the person who did it knew all the kung fu of the three great families of ancient martial arts.
Are you kidding?
How can you blend in when you’ve learnt so many different things?
Sometimes being all-powerful means being mediocre.
How can someone who learns a lot be better than specialising in one?
Now there are three matches, representing the three great families of ancient martial arts.
How can we do that?
“Her body shape and physique are more similar to Lin Qingjia’s.” The administrator spoke up, “So the match is the highest, as for the other two-”
“Yue Fuyi only has one video.” Saying that, he pulled up the video of Yue Fuyi, “This is when a reactionary force on O Continent planted a bomb at the amusement park and blew up the roller coaster’s track.”
“The roller coaster braked in time, but a woman in the front row accidentally dropped the child in her arms.”
The video shows a young woman going up at great speed, saving the child, and then leaving at even greater speed.
Because of her speed, the camera only caught a fleeting glimpse of her face.
After comparison, it was confirmed to be Miss Yue Fuyi of the Moon Family.
The Moon Family has always been known for its speed.
Of course, the video was also deleted.
How exactly this child survived afterwards became an unsolved mystery in the eyes of the public.
“These are the two videos of Xie Nian.” The administrator wiped a sweat and pulled out two more videos, “Xie’s attack was harsh and sinister, and also more similar.”
The middle-aged man couldn’t say a word.
The steward snapped his head up, “Family head, what now?”
“The Xie family definitely won’t.” The middle-aged man’s gaze sank, “The Xie family is ruthless and ruthless, there is no way they would still leave anyone alive, it could only be the Lin and Yue families.”
However, the kung fu of the Lin family and the Yue family could be completely different, and it was reasonably impossible for a match to appear at the same time.
“Take a trip to both the Moon Family and the Lin Family.” The middle-aged man frowned and thought hard for a long time before making a snap decision, “Don’t say anything about it, just say it’s a gift.”
The steward immediately responded, “Yes, family head.”
“Don’t move Helvin for now.” The middle-aged man turned his head and instructed Duke again, “Whichever ancient martial arts great family they are, they are not to be messed with.”
Admittedly, one of their nuclear bombs going down could move and level the Lin family.
But the Lin family also had the strength to take the head of the family head in the midst of a thousand people.
In time, it would only be a lose-lose situation.
There was no need to offend the ancient martial arts community because of Helvin.
Although Duke was a little reluctant, he could only oblige.
The middle-aged man lit a cigarette, his fingers trembling.
If neither the Yue family nor the Lin family were, what kind of horrible family had they messed with.

Ancient Martial World.
The Lin family.
Although the Ancient Martial World did not like to use the outside world’s high technology and did not care at all about any news from the outside world.
But because of its many encounters with the four major Zaibatsu of O Continent, it still had a special person responsible for liaising with O Continent.
Lin Jinyun frowned: “The Taylor family said they wanted to send a gift to the door? Didn’t say what the reason was?”
The newly promoted butler respectfully returned, “Didn’t say, but they asked one more thing about Miss Qingjia.”
“Qingjia?” Lin Jinyun froze and sent his escort to invite Lin Qingjia, “Qingjia, have you been outside recently?”
For Lin Qingjia, he had always had a laissez-faire attitude.
He would keep an eye on the few direct descendants of the Lin family, fearing that they would fall behind in their training and homework.
But Lin Qingjia would not let him worry about this at all, she was very self-conscious.
“Huh?” Lin Qingjia was stunned, “No, I’ve been in the ancient medicine world lately.”
“So.” Lin Jinyun’s furrowed brow loosened, “Then you go on and get busy.”
Lin Qingjia nodded her head.
“Right.” Lin Jinyun called out to her again, “For next month’s auction, the Hall of Justice has sent over a list, see what herbs you need.”
“The Lin family will prepare the resources and auction them off then.”
Lin Qingjia glanced at the auction list before ticking off a few auction items, “Thank you dad.”
Lin Jinyun waved his hand, “Go ahead.”
The butler spoke again at this time, “By the way, family head, it seems that the Taylor family has also contacted the Yue family, and I heard that it is related to Miss Yue Fuyi as well.”
Hearing this name, Lin Jin Yun pondered, “Yue Fuyi?”
He had met Yue Fuyi.
The Yue family kept a low profile because they were all cultivation fiends.
Yue Fuyi was 20 years old, but his ancient martial arts cultivation was far higher than those of his peers.
Yue Fuyi didn’t interact much with people his age, and his only close friend was Ling Mianxi of the Ling family.
“Whatever.” Lin Jinyun shook his head, “If the Moon Family doesn’t move we don’t move, the Taylor family can send it if they want.”
Wealthy and powerful, what did it matter to them, idle.

The following day.
Remember the family.
Research Institute.
Ying Ziji handed over the materials she had obtained to Wen Fengmian.
8 After the experimental project was reported to the Inner House, the Inner House also granted a special laboratory down.
Today they are going to the inner courtyard to get the key.
As a member of the experimental project, Ji Li naturally went along.
On the way, the three of them bumped into Ji Yiyuan and a few youths.
Wen Fengmian’s footsteps paused for a moment, but he didn’t bother to look.
On the contrary, Ji Yiyuan greeted them with a smile on his face, “Fengmian, I haven’t seen you for more than twenty years, you’re still as graceful as ever.”
“Back then, there were many girls in the Institute who adored you. They even cried after you died, I can’t really compare.”
Wen Fengmian did not speak, not caring about this.
The few youths following Ji Yiyuan also showed smiles when they heard this.
“You-” Ji Li got angry and was about to speak up when he was stopped.
“You are no match.” Ying Ziji raised his eyelashes, his tone unhurried, “When you die, they will be bouncing on your grave.”
Wen Fengmian said indifferently, “What a disruption to the city.”
Ji Li laughed out loud, very disrespectful.
Ji Yiyuan’s face sank in an instant, iron blue.
“Yao Yao, let’s go.” Wen Fengmian withdrew his gaze, “People who have nothing to do with this are unnecessary.”
The three of them left.
Ji Yiyuan’s face was still ugly.
“Dad, Professor Yan is inside.” A youth said, “They won’t get the experimental funds that easily.”
“So what if they get it?” Ji Yiyuan disdained, “There’s no way to make it without even the experimental materials.”
He waved his hand, “Let’s go, we’ll be able to settle Wen Fengmian and Ji Yihang and the others in ten days.”
**
The inner courtyard hall.
Apart from Yan Ruoxue, there was also a vice-president.
Ji Li whispered, “Ying Shen, that’s Yan Ruoxue.”
Ying Ziji turned his head.
At the same time, Yan Ruoxue also looked over, her gaze tinged with scrutiny.
After a moment, she spoke, “You are Ying Zidian? I heard that you are the top student in the university entrance exams in Shanghai, do you know what the c-virus is?”
“Speak up and the lab’s funding is doubled ten times on top of the base.”
The Vice President did not stop.
Yan Ruoxue’s status was indeed much higher than Wen Fengmian’s.
Ji Li subconsciously spoke, “The c-virus is-”
Yan Ruoxue interrupted without even listening, “No need for you, let her speak.”
Ying Zigui looked detached, “A hundred times.”
