Strange Cards

Chapter 14 The Truth

"What's wrong, Shigure? Is something the matter so late at night?"

Qi Wu's cheerful voice rang out, and Shi Yu, touching the neatly cut edge of the rooftop, finally spoke up.

"Boss, I think I ran into a culprit on my way back..."

................

"You mean you almost single-handedly killed a B-rank monster?"

Yu Yan stared wide-eyed in disbelief, then looked at the terrifying gap and tried to deceive herself.

"I can replace that gap; you must be sensing the energy incorrectly."

Qi Wu gently placed his strong hand on the gap, carefully sensed it for a while, then opened his eyes and said solemnly.

"Indeed, that aura belongs to a genuine B-rank monster, and it will soon be promoted to A-rank."

Liu An, who was elegantly sipping a cup of tea, burst into laughter upon hearing Qi Wu's words, not even noticing that the tea had accidentally spilled onto her ample bosom.

"Xiao Yuyan, if I remember correctly, didn't you confidently declare two months ago that you were going to hunt a B-rank monster but ended up suffering a huge defeat?"

"Fortunately, the boss was worried and secretly followed you there, otherwise you might have died there."

Liu An laughed so hard her body trembled, and her full breasts bounced with each laugh.

At this moment, Yu Yan's face was flushed red, as if it might bleed at any moment.

Yu Yan instantly let out a sharp cracking sound, looking at Liu An with a sullen expression.

"Sister Liu An, you're still laughing at me! Oh, please stop laughing!!!"

"You're laughing... If you laugh again, I'll make sure your coffee and tea next month are so bitter you'll die. I'll write my name Yu Yan backwards."

Yu Yan immediately shot a sharp glare at Shi Yu, who was covering her mouth and secretly laughing.

"You're not allowed to laugh either, you bastard!"

Liu An chuckled at Yu Yan's childlike threat and pinched Yu Yan's chin.

"Little girl, you're threatening me now? You've got some nerve."

"If you dare to pull that stunt, see if you'll ever see AD Calcium Milk at the base again."

"And even if you don't need Coptis chinensis extract in your future treatments, I'll still add some to them, it'll make you suffer from the bitterness."

Upon hearing Liu An's blatant threat, Yu Yan's arrogant demeanor immediately subsided, and she looked pitiful, like a little bitter gourd.

Just as Yu Yan was about to squeeze out two tears, Liu An pinched her cheek, forcibly interrupting the spellcasting.

At this moment, Qi Wu's phone suddenly rang. He picked it up, glanced at it for a few moments, and then clapped his hands.

"Da Niu and Shunzi got their gear and told us to hurry back to base and not just stand around."

"Shiyu, you should stay at the base for the next few days. It's too unsafe for you to go back alone."

Shi Yu nodded helplessly and followed Qi Wu and his group back to the Hunter's Base. As soon as they entered, they saw Shunzi and Da Niu standing at the door.

Qi Wu saw the two of them quickly go to meet him, and the way they looked at Shi Yu clearly showed admiration.

"How's it going? Did you get it?"

"Boss, let me tell you, Shiyu is really amazing."

Li Shun spoke up excitedly, and Da Niu, who looked like a rock, also spoke up beside him.

"Shiyu is right. Those children have indeed all undergone surgery recently, all of them organ transplants."

"However, the source of the organ was not indicated, and the problem may very well lie there."

"Yeah, Captain, you have no idea how troublesome it was to get that little bit of information."

Li Shun took out a cigarette from his pocket and was about to light it when he noticed that Yu Yan and Liu An were looking at him with unfriendly eyes. So he reluctantly put the cigarette back in the cigarette case.

"Those bastards said we weren't cops and didn't deserve this. After arguing for a while, it was Da Niu who came up with a solution."

At this moment, Yu Yan pulled out a bottle of AD calcium milk from somewhere, inserted a straw, and started drinking it, asking curiously.

"Did you two use force to coerce someone?"

"Oh, how could that be? We're both law-abiding citizens."

"You two, the Haier Brothers? Pshaw!"

Da Niu scratched his head, looking embarrassed.

"Shunzi and I went straight to the dean's office with our hunter identity cards, slammed the two cards on the table, and immediately became obedient."

"Yeah, that old man was talking about getting all sorts of paperwork done, but after seeing those two cards, he immediately cowered like a quail. Later, he even personally took us to get our medical records."

"Alright, stop chatting here and let's go inside."

Liu An shoved the crowd and pushed them into the conference room.

"Alright, Da Niu and Shun Zi, you two project the data onto the holographic screen. Shi Yu, feel free to share your thoughts."

Shi Yu stared at the information on the holographic screen, lost in thought, and finally asked Guan Yun, who was sitting to the side typing something on his laptop.

"Dr. Guan, when is the best time for organ transplantation?"

Guan Yun glanced casually at the information on the holographic screen and said indifferently.

"Generally speaking, transplantation is best and most suitable when the corresponding organ has become diseased."

"If we compare the human body to a car, then a diseased organ is like a part of the car that has a problem."

"The first thing everyone would think of is to fix it first, and then replace it if it can't be fixed."

"It's okay not to replace it, but it will become less and less effective over time, and may even cause other complications."

"I see, I think I understand."

After enlarging the holographic screen and fixing it in front of him, Shi Yu began to write and draw.

"I should release the general truth now."

Shi Yu tapped the picture with claw marks on it, her tone slightly serious.

"Let's rewind the timeline to a month ago, because I just discovered something that might be crucial while I was researching."

"At that time, a man reported that his daughter was missing and searched for her for a very long time, but in the end, nothing came of it."

"If, I mean if."

"That man's daughter successfully matched with the children of those high-ranking officials who suffered from organ diseases, and I don't need to tell you what those officials would do for their children."

"You mean...?"

Yu Yan's face turned pale instantly, while Shi Yu nodded with a slightly solemn expression.

"Those high-ranking officials and nobles devised a plan to make the girl disappear, and then used her as an organ bank for their children, killing her instead."

"The man was unaware of the situation and chose to search for his daughter. Perhaps he initially thought his daughter was just lost and he didn't know where she was."
