Is this what a zombie is?

63. I'm not here to fight.

With the circuitry completed and the core component of the plasma system resolved, the potential problems have been addressed.

Jiang Chen had mastered his divine skills, and without a moment's delay, he changed into a black trench coat and set off.

At this point, more than forty-eight hours had passed since Ai Yi went missing, and with each additional minute, the danger increased.

Half an hour later, at the headquarters of the Ai Group.

Ai Yi's father, Edward, a well-maintained man nearing fifty, exuding the refined air of a successful businessman, was calmly sipping a cup of hand-drip coffee.

He wasn't surprised by Jiang Chen's sudden visit; in fact, he was quite pleased.

"Little Jiang, is there something you need?"

"Ai Yi has been out of contact for two days." Jiang Chen said without sitting down.

Upon hearing this, Edward showed no sign of panic and simply shook his head, unfazed.

"You know what kind of person that kid is, don't you? Disappearing for a couple of days is no big deal. He'll be back in a few days."

"This time it's different. He spoke to me on the phone before he went missing. A eunuch who called himself Li Lianying kidnapped him."

When Edward heard the name Li Lianying, his expression underwent a subtle change.

Jiang Chen noticed this change and keenly sensed that Edward must know something.

"Uncle, do you know anything about Li Lianying?"

"I know a little, but not much. I met him when I was a child. The fact that the Ai Group has grown to its current size is probably related to him. But my father is very wary of him and doesn't want to talk to me about it."

It seems there's a reason why Edward is somewhat superstitious about metaphysics.

"I need Ai to leave the company, based on the surveillance footage from that day."

"Okay, I'll have someone pull it up for you right away."

This was a minor matter; Edward only needed to give the order, and the security room quickly retrieved the surveillance footage from that day.

Despite confirming that Ai Yi had gone missing and been kidnapped, Edward felt no worry or anxiety whatsoever, and didn't even consider calling the police.

"Uncle, aren't you worried at all?"

As a father, he did care about his son.

If he truly didn't care and only treated Ai Yi as a mascot, he would have already found several more and created multiple alternate accounts.

He wasn't worried or anxious because Ai Yi had experienced similar kidnapping incidents several times since he was a child.

Most importantly, he has faith in metaphysics.

"That master divined his fate; he's born with great fortune and will surely turn misfortune into good luck. Besides, there's no use in me worrying or getting anxious. This kind of thing is beyond the scope of what the police can handle, isn't it?"

"Uncle, you..." Jiang Chen hesitated, then finally said, "I finally know who Ai Yixin takes after."

"I'm more worried about you. Don't push yourself."

"I know."

In the surveillance video provided by the group, Ai Yi's figure eventually disappeared into a commercial street, where shops, shopping malls, and municipal surveillance cameras were everywhere, intertwined and complex.

"Could you access the surveillance footage for this street?"

"This... is a bit troublesome." Edward looked troubled. "After all, this street isn't mine, the shops' surveillance cameras are the privacy of the businesses, and municipal surveillance requires a police assistance certificate. Even if I use my connections, it won't be something I can get done in a short time."

Finally, he said one more thing.

"Even if you buy the whole street, you still need to go through a lot of procedures, which will take at least a few days."

Jiang Chen gasped. This is how you rich people do things. You want to buy up an entire street all day long.

Showing off their wealth is really extravagant.

"I can't wait." Jiang Chen stood up, copied the crucial video, and said, "I'll handle the rest myself."

He turned and left without hesitation.

Edward watched his departing figure, opened his mouth, and finally shook his head.

"Sigh, I only said that the normal way takes a long time, not that we can't take special routes. This young man is a bit too impatient."

For professional matters, you should find professionals.

As night falls, the city police station building, having ended its day's hustle and bustle, is left with only a few scattered lights.

In the underground parking lot, criminal police captain Chen Gang rubbed his throbbing temples as he walked towards his car.

A lot has happened in the last few days, leaving him somewhat exhausted, especially the Blackrock Prison incident, which has left him seething with anger.

Jiang Chen had only been in prison for a few days when this happened at Black Stone Prison. Chen Gang didn't believe a word that Jiang Chen had nothing to do with him.

But he couldn't fight city hall, and he had no authority to handle the case, so he had no way of knowing the truth of the matter.

As he walked to the car and was about to open the door, he caught a glimpse of the standing dark figure out of the corner of his eye.

Years of experience as a criminal investigator made his body react faster than his brain. He took a step back, reached for his sidearm at his waist with his right hand, and drew it, pointing it steadily at the shadow.

"Who is it? Who is it? Come out!"

"Don't be so nervous, Officer Chen."

The person in the shadows slowly raised their head, revealing a handsome face.

The moment he saw that face clearly, a chill ran from the soles of his feet straight to the top of his head, making even the hand holding the gun feel icy cold.

Jiang Chen!

The man who was officially listed as dead in the Blackstone prison incident, not only had a death certificate issued, but according to procedure, he should have been incinerated.

But the person who should have died was actually standing alive in front of him, which made Chen Gang's mind race.

That day, that night, every scene seemed so familiar.

As he pondered, his breathing became heavier, and large beads of sweat appeared on his forehead. He tightened his grip on the trigger by three points.

Jiang Chen was able to clearly perceive Chen Gang's emotional changes.

After the circuit was successfully constructed, his own electromagnetic field was also strengthened, and his range and perception were comprehensively improved.

To prevent Chen Gang from accidentally escalating the situation and causing unnecessary trouble, Jiang Chen released an arc of electricity that was barely perceptible to the naked eye.

Noisy!

Chen Gang felt a sudden numbness in his right arm holding the gun, his fingers twitched uncontrollably, and the pistol slipped from his hand and fell to the ground.

"I'm not here to fight," Jiang Chen finally spoke. "I'm here to make a deal with you."

Chen Gang stared intently at Jiang Chen, the soreness and numbness in his arm not yet fully subsided, but what terrified him even more was the other party's unpredictable methods.

What is this? A superpower, or magic?

He forced himself to calm down, took a deep breath, suppressed his shock, and asked in a deep voice, "Blackrock Prison, did you do this?"
