Thinking of this, Ye You immediately stood up, looking down at Li Ji and Li Qingxia, the cold light in her eyes like a blade.

Li Ji raised his head, looking at Ye You calmly: "I've noticed that you little girl really likes to jump to conclusions. Is your investigation of Resurrected Ones now based entirely on suspicion?"

"If you're unhappy, you can file a complaint against me." Ye You smiled slightly, beckoning to Zheng Kang beside her: "Zheng Kang, handcuff them."

Zheng Kang pulled out the handcuffs from his waist and was about to get up when Li Ji coughed lightly and raised his forearm to signal him to wait.

Zheng Kang turned to look at Ye You, and only sat back down when he saw her nod.

"What's wrong? Have you changed your mind? Do you have something to say?" Ye You tilted her head, her thin lips slightly curved, revealing a triumphant smile.

Li Ji shook the teacup in his hand and said softly, "The reason I'm reasoning with you is because I think I'm a reasonable and law-abiding citizen, but that doesn't mean I can only reason with you."

Ye You raised an eyebrow: "What? What kind of trouble are you trying to make?"

Li Ji didn't speak, but instead reached into his pocket and took out an old-fashioned button phone, bringing his head close to the phone as if he was looking for something.

"Are you looking for help?" Ye You asked curiously, with a hint of disdain in her eyes.

"Yeah." Li Ji grunted casually: "Wait a moment, let me find it. It's been a long time since I contacted them."

Ye You crossed her arms, didn't speak, and just watched Li Ji.

Whether it was because of presbyopia or something else, two minutes passed, and Li Ji was still maintaining the same posture as two minutes ago.

A hint of impatience appeared on Ye You's face, and just as she was about to speak, Li Ji suddenly straightened up, reached out and rubbed his sore eyes, and held the phone to his ear.

"Hello, it's me," Li Ji said calmly.

In the time that followed, Li Ji was like a robot, constantly repeating "uh-huh," as if he was perfunctorily responding to the person on the other end of the phone.

"Okay, help me with a favor. I'll give the phone to someone else in a moment, and you say, 'Let them go.'"

After speaking, Li Ji took the phone away and handed it to Li Qingxia: "Give it to her."

"Okay!"

Li Qingxia nodded and, under the gaze of the three members of the An Tong Si, placed the phone in front of Ye You.

"What do you mean?" Ye You looked at Li Ji in surprise.

Li Ji pointed to the phone with his finger, then pointed to his ear, indicating for her to answer the phone.

Ye You put the phone to her ear with suspicion, and said, "Hello?"

A full-bodied voice came from the other end of the phone: "Let them go."

The moment the voice sounded, Ye You's palm-sized face twitched as if it had been electrocuted, and the hand holding the phone also loosened subconsciously.

Bang!

The phone fell on the table, and the person on the other end of the phone was slightly stunned, then hung up, and the "beep beep beep" sound echoed in the quiet private room.

"What's wrong?" He Lu grabbed Ye You's arm and asked with concern.

"Yeah, what's wrong?" Zheng Kang looked puzzled.

He didn't understand what kind of phone call could turn Ye You into this.

Ye You ignored the two's questions, but swallowed her saliva and looked at Li Ji with a look of horror.

Across the table, Li Ji was still so calm and composed, just like before, his eyes were calm and unwavering.

Li Qingxia covered half of her face with her palm, biting her lip and desperately trying to hold back her laughter.

Ye You's pupils trembled, and she asked Li Ji in a trembling voice: "Who… who are you?"

"Just an ordinary old man who likes to reason."

After speaking, Li Ji picked up the plastic bag at his feet and stood up, saying to the three, "I will contact you later about Li Chenqiu's matter. By the way, don't tell anyone my identity, otherwise…"

Li Ji paused, walked behind Ye You, picked up his phone, and smiled kindly: "Little girl, you won't be able to be a big shot in the future, Qingxia, let's go."

"Boss, wait for me."

Li Qingxia hurriedly got up and followed.

Bang!

As the door of the private room closed, Ye You slumped down as if she had lost her support, crossing her hands to support her head, her back weakly bent.

"What exactly happened? What did the person on the phone say?" Zheng Kang shook Ye You's body.

"Did someone threaten you over there?" He Lu asked tentatively.

Ye You closed her eyes, her eyelashes trembling slightly.

After a moment of silence, she gradually returned to calm and slowly opened her eyes: "Prepare to release him!"

"Release him?" Zheng Kang frowned: "Aren't you investigating?"

Ye You responded: "We can investigate, but we can't illegally detain Li Chenqiu anymore. There will be problems."

Zheng Kang repeated the question: "What exactly did the person on the phone say?"

Ye You took a deep look at the tea in the cup and said in a deep voice: "Said the two words 'Let him go'."

"What?" Zheng Kang looked dumbfounded: "That's it?"

Ye You supported herself on the table and stood up, walking towards the outside of the private room, and at the same time opened her mouth and said: "This is the order of the Strategic Command Department."

……

……

In a dimly lit conference room, a dozen imposing humans sat on both sides of the conference table. Most of these people were male, and the vast majority were elderly.

One of the old men, whose hair was a little gray but still mixed with some black, put down the phone in his hand, looked at the ceiling with deep eyes, not knowing what he was thinking.

"Is it him?" someone asked.

As soon as this was said, everyone's eyes gathered on the old man.

The old man rubbed his temples wearily and nodded helplessly: "Who else could it be besides him?"

"How many years has it been since he contacted us after that incident? Why would he suddenly call this time?"

"Does he want to interfere with the An Tong Si's Director Election?"

"Times have changed. Even if he wants to, he doesn't have the ability anymore."

……

……

In a shadowless cell, Li Chenqiu sat cross-legged on the ground, leaning against the cold wall.

There was no clock in the cell, and Li Chenqiu didn't know the specific time he was locked up here, he could only know the number of days he was locked up based on one meal every two days.

"Four days."

Li Chenqiu opened his eyes, and the dark eyes could not hide the weakness. The hands hidden in his sleeves already had traces of aging, and shallow wrinkles floated on the surface of the skin.

Prolonged hunger had exhausted the life energy in his body, and he could no longer slow down the speed of his own aging.

Originally, Li Chenqiu thought that these three would at most lock him up for two days, but he didn't expect that these three would be so shameless that they could illegally imprison him for four days under the pressure of the media!

Li Chenqiu knew that if he was locked up for another three or four days, then his identity as a Resurrected One would definitely be exposed.

Instead of waiting to die, it's better to take the initiative and find a way to escape from the Special Abilities Division.

Anyway, the other party is illegally imprisoning him, so his escape can't be considered illegal.
