Signing In At The Civil Affairs Bureau, I Was Rewarded With A Gorgeous Wife

Bai Jingbing sat in the hall in a carefree manner, while the manager carefully tended to him, pouring tea and water, fearing that any slight mistake might displease him.

As the manager anxiously waited, someone pushed open the large door. A man in his fifties entered, and upon seeing Bai Jingbing, his eyes betrayed a hint of surprise, which he quickly suppressed.

"Master Qin! You finally came back with the groceries! Let me introduce you, this is Bai Jingbing, the highest-ranking official of the nursing home! He's here for a meal today especially to thank you!"

With a grin, the manager approached and said, "The special meals you prepare daily are greatly liked by the Bai Family patriarch. Officer Bai has come to have a couple of drinks with you, and he specifically requested your cooking!"

Upon hearing this, a fierce light momentarily flashed undetected in Master Qin's eyes. He bowed to Bai Jingbing and said, "I'm honored by Officer Bai's praise. I'll head to the kitchen and prepare the ingredients right away!"

Bai Jingbing looked at the seemingly honest and simple man before him, unable to find any hint of a flaw.

Not wanting to startle the snake, Bai Jingbing smiled and said, "Then I'll trouble Master Qin, and make sure to come over for a drink!"

"Of course! Of course!"

Overwhelmed by the honor, Master Qin stepped forward to shake hands with Bai Jingbing, then carried a bag full of ingredients into the kitchen.

"Officer Bai, would you and the other two like to proceed to the private room?"

Bai Jingbing nodded and led Song Yun and Qi Shan into a compartment.

"Nephew, did you notice anything amiss?"

Song Yun frowned slightly and said, "I'm not too certain yet, but if the other party can cultivate a personal Gu, their power must not be underestimated, and so must their ability to conceal that power."

The three of them sat in the compartment with their concerns, but after more than ten minutes, aside from the manager bringing in a pot of tea, not a single dish was served.

Even if Master Qin needed time to heat the wok, shouldn't he at least have sent up a couple of appetizing cold dishes to keep the guests occupied?

"Something's not right!"

Song Yun suddenly stood up and rushed toward the kitchen.

Bai Jingbing and Qi Shan also changed expression and quickly followed him.

Upon reaching the kitchen, there was no sign of Master Qin, only the manager lying on the ground, foaming at the mouth and convulsing!

"Damn it, we've been played by that bastard!"

Bai Jingbing hammered the wall in frustration.

Song Yun examined the manager's condition and thankfully found that he had simply been drugged into unconsciousness. A trip to the hospital and a couple of days on an IV would resolve the issue.

The urgent task now was to locate Master Qin. Song Yun said to Bai Jingbing, "Uncle, order the nursing home's security to thoroughly check everyone coming in and out, especially for Master Qin! Also, form teams of ten to comb the entire nursing home!"

Bai Jingbing snapped to attention. That's right, the nursing home housed significant figures. If that scoundrel barged into someone's home, the consequences would be unimaginable!

He hurriedly took out his phone to organize the tasks.

Song Yun stood up and sighed. The opponent's vigilance was extremely high, and perhaps confident in his Gu technique, he might have been certain of the patriarch's demise today. But after noticing the casual demeanor of the Bai family members, he likely deduced that his plot had been exposed and took a desperate chance to flee!

Song Yun massaged several acupoints on the manager's body, and gradually, although the manager's eyes remained closed, the frothing at his mouth stopped and his condition stabilized.

"Report to Officer Bai, there is no record of Qin Bingsheng leaving through the gate!"

"Report to Officer Bai, after a thorough search, Qin Bingsheng is not found hiding in any of the homes!"

One bad piece of news after another came in, and Song Yun gazed at the Yuquan Nursing Home's surroundings on the map, deep in thought.

"Uncle, where does the forest behind lead to?"

"Yuquan Mountain."

"Most likely, he escaped from here! Fortunately, we still have his life-bound magic creature, and he cannot stray too far from it!"

Song Yun said indifferently, "Mobilize all security forces, we're going to search the mountains!"

Bai Jingbing nodded and began to make arrangements.

In less than five minutes, more than forty armed security personnel assembled, all of whom possessed extremely high combat readiness and showed no hesitation in following Bai Jingbing's orders.

The group marched mightily toward the woods.

Now, since it was the hot summer season, the continuous cicada noises filled the woods, which, coupled with the absence of any cool breeze, irritated Bai Jingbing immensely.

After searching the woods and finding no trace of Qin Bingsheng, everyone could only press on towards the mountain, sweating profusely.

But reaching the mountaintop, they found not a single soul, and Bai Jingbing started to get angry. He pulled out a sealed cup from his pocket and shouted towards the empty surroundings, "Qin Bingsheng, you've been exposed! Come out now and confess, and your crime might be treated more leniently! But if you remain obstinate, then do not blame me for crushing the insect inside this cup to death!"

Song Yun turned around abruptly, "Damn it!!!"

When was the magic creature taken out?

If Qin Bingsheng stubbornly refuses to show himself, could he really kill the other's life-bound magic creature?

Damn it, is he still going to carry out his mission!

Just as Song Yun was about to step forward to take the cup, dozens of brightly colored snakes emerged from within the crowd!

"Fire!"

"You want to resist to the end, huh! Then don't blame me for being merciless!" Bai Jingbing gritted his teeth and shouted.

No sooner had his voice fallen when a swarm of wasps flew out from the woods, causing everyone to look at each other with a chill in their eyes. Although these wasps couldn't compare to poisonous snakes, they were small in size and large in number, and a sting would undoubtedly swell one's face to a grotesque state!

"Playing with magic creatures? Hmph!"

Song Yun took the cup from Bai Jingbing's hand with indifference, and a silver needle flashed in his hand as he stabbed it fiercely into Qin Bingsheng's life-bound magic creature.

With the life-bound creature's blood on the needle, Song Yun stood at the forefront of the crowd, and surprisingly, not a single wasp or poisonous snake dared to advance a step further.

This was the suppression of bloodline!

It must be known that each life-bound magic creature is extremely formidable. One must choose from the larvae and collect a hundred to put into a pot to let them kill each other, supplementing the process with secret medicines. Only the last survivor would be qualified to become a life-bound magic creature.

Then, after continuous taming and field practice, when a natural affinity develops between the master and the creature, the master would feed it with his own vital blood. Only then is the contract between the two formally established.

If there were any mistakes in the process or if the magic creature was substandard, it would be immediately destroyed. Thus, the strength of a Gu Master is largely determined by whether they possess a life-bound magic creature!

"Damn it!"

Qin Bingsheng cursed quietly from his hiding place.

In his wildest dreams, he couldn't have imagined his opponent resorting to such a method!

"I'll count to three, and if you don't come out, you will perish along with your life-bound magic creature!" Song Yun said calmly.

"3!"

"2!"

"1!"
