Chapter 24: There’s a Traitor in the Other Race Bureau

Under their escort, Wuming and Serena were sent back to the office.

At this time, Judy and a few trusted officers were standing outside the door.

“What the hell is going on!!?”

Uncle Park paced anxiously back and forth in the office.

The situation had happened so quickly that he hadn’t had time to react to what had occurred.

“You still don’t see it, Old Park! There’s a traitor in the Other Race Bureau! They killed that guy! And almost killed Wuming!”

“How dare they! They actually dared to kill someone in the Other Race Bureau! They don’t take us seriously at all!!!”

Uncle Ji saw that he wouldn’t calm down anytime soon and turned to look at Wuming.

“Are you okay, Brother Wuming?”

From the incident until now, no one had checked on Wuming’s condition; after all, he was also involved in the danger.

“I’m… fine.”

As he said that, Wuming looked at the weakened Serena beside him.

“Thank you for saving me…”

Wuming sincerely thanked Serena.

If she hadn’t acted, his other side might have emerged.

“You’ve saved me so many times; saving you this once is far from enough.” Serena panted heavily, forcing a smile.

“I can’t let my dear one be in danger.”

“…”

“Does it hurt a lot? Do you want to go to the hospital?”

Uncle Ji also noticed Serena’s condition and asked if she wanted to go to the hospital for treatment.

“No need,” Serena weakly waved her hand, “I just… need to rest for a while. Using my ability… is too exhausting…”

“Is there anything I can help with?”

Wuming asked her worriedly.

“If… you could let me drink some blood, recovery would be faster.”

“If it’s your blood, Wuming, that would be even better.”

“…You still have the mood to joke.”

Serena didn’t speak, just gave Wuming a reassuring smile.

“Just let me rest a bit.”

“…”

“I say, Old Park, you should calm down now.”

Uncle Ji looked helplessly at Uncle Park, who was covering his head on the sofa, feeling like he still hadn’t recovered from the shock.

“Calm down? How can I calm down!?”

“Fuck your mother—!” Uncle Park couldn’t help but curse.

“There’s actually a traitor in my bureau! How can I calm down!”

Uncle Park angrily slammed the table.

This matter was a huge blow to him!

One second he was confidently saying Serena would be safe here, and now this situation was like a slap in his face!?

“Today, check every single person in the Other Race Bureau! I want to see how many people those guys have infiltrated here!”

“No one goes home until the check is done!”

“…”

“…”

Wuming and Serena both looked at him.

Good thing he didn’t accept Uncle Ji’s suggestion to leave Serena here earlier, otherwise Wuming couldn’t imagine how they would deal with Serena.

“Sorry… let me take a moment…”

Uncle Park’s gaze turned to Wuming, filled with guilt.

After all, he almost caused Wuming to lose his life.

“I’m sorry, Brother Wuming.”

“I almost… harmed you.”

“…” Wuming remained silent.

If Serena hadn’t saved him, his life might have ended here.

“Good thing your mom hasn’t come back yet… otherwise I wouldn’t know how to explain to your mom.”

Uncle Ji nodded in agreement.

“…”

Hearing their words, Serena tugged at Wuming’s sleeve to get his attention.

“I say, Wuming, is your mom very powerful? Why do they seem so afraid of her?”

Serena asked curiously; after all, she didn’t know what Wuming’s mom was like—she only existed in conversations.

“Well…” Wuming scratched his head, “It’s hard to describe to you. Anyway, just know that Uncle Ji and Uncle Park got their positions because of my mom.”

“In other words… she’s someone neither the human nor demon worlds dare to provoke.”

“…”

“Back then, under her big ghost club, no one could survive and remember her appearance.”

“The hotel terrorist attack back then, she single-handedly took down over a dozen armed terrorists.”

Uncle Ji heard them talking about this and helped supplement the terrifying aspects of Wuming’s mom back then.

“…”

Indeed, just telling wouldn’t let Serena understand the terror of Wuming’s mom; she had to see it with her own eyes.

But in her mind, she already pictured Wuming’s mom’s appearance.

Bang—bang.

At this time, there was a knock on the office door.

“Chief, outside has been cleaned up almost; do you want to go check now?”

It was Judy’s voice outside.

During their waiting time, the situation there had been cleaned up, and the bodies had been taken away.

“…Let’s go, Old Park.” Uncle Ji stood up, eager to go to the scene to check the situation.

“Staying here isn’t helpful.”

“Hm… what about Wuming?”

Uncle Park looked at Wuming.

If possible, he didn’t want Wuming and them to stay here; now the entire Other Race Bureau was very dangerous.

“Let them stay here for now; send people to guard here until we return, then decide.”

“Hm.” Uncle Park agreed with this idea.

Then Uncle Ji looked seriously at the two of them.

“From now on, don’t step out of this place; don’t open the door for anyone unless we return.”

Wuming nodded, watching Uncle Park and them leave the office.

At this moment, the entire floor was locked down.

Except for Uncle Park’s trusted people here, others were all sent to other floors.

The scene was still being photographed for evidence; caution tape was up.

Except for the two bodies that were removed, the interrogation room surroundings remained as is.

“Found out that guy’s background?”

Uncle Park asked Judy.

“He had another officer’s gun who was on vacation. We immediately photographed the body and found a matching person.”

Saying that, Judy brought a file to him.

“The criminal is recently hired; background resume is very blank. Currently still investigating how he got hired.”

“…”

Uncle Park looked at the file, suddenly recalling that during the abandoned building investigation, it was this kid who came to report.

He even talked to him then.

“Tsk…”

Uncle Park angrily handed the file back to Judy. “What about the other one? What’s his condition.”

“Hit by four shots; the arriving doctor said he might not make it through tonight. Currently in emergency.”

“Damn it…”

Uncle Park couldn’t help but curse again.

Then Uncle Park entered the interrogation room, looking at the victim’s fallen position.

“I didn’t expect this time… it was to silence him…”

This was something Uncle Park never expected—that the other side would send an assassin, catching them off guard.

Uncle Park’s gaze fixed on the blood on the ground, wondering if any clues were left.

“Hm—?”

And the two waiting in the office.

“Hey, Wuming.”

Serena gently tugged his clothes, quietly asking Wuming, “When can we go back?”

“I don’t… want to stay here at all.”

After this experience, Serena understood that relying on the Other Race Bureau probably couldn’t protect her safety; perhaps only Wuming could.

“I don’t want to either…”

Wuming now felt the same as Serena, wanting to go back home.

This encounter left a deep impression on him.

But… they had to wait for Uncle Park and them to return before leaving.

All Wuming could do now was wait here for Uncle Park to return.

“By the way, Serena.”

Wuming suddenly remembered something, something that bothered him a lot.

“What’s your ability?”

Until now, Wuming didn’t know what Serena’s ability was.

Was it like The Flash? Or “Za Warudo?” Or something else?

“Well, it’s not a very powerful ability.”

At least in Serena’s eyes, her ability was inferior compared to Wuming’s.

“I can just make time in a space flow at an extremely slow speed; it’s not as simple as time stop.”

Then, Wuming saw her take a pen from the table, then hold Wuming’s hand and throw the pen into the air.

“【Time】.”

As Serena said her ability, Wuming saw the pen thrown into the air falling at an extremely slow speed, slow enough for Wuming to directly grab it.

“So amazing…”

Wuming looked at Serena; her left eye emitted a flame, covering the entire left eye.

In Wuming’s eyes, it looked very cool.

But the next second—

“Uh—!”

Serena suddenly groaned in pain, and the ability was released.

Seeing this, Wuming quickly supported Serena.

“Are you okay!?”

“I’m fine…” Serena panted heavily, “This is the cost of using my ability. According to them, this is a defective product; needs to join something to fully function.”

“What?” Wuming asked puzzled, but got Serena’s head shake—she didn’t know what was missing.

“No matter what’s missing, I won’t go back…” Serena’s voice trembled a bit, “Rather than go back, better to die and end it.”

“…”

Although Wuming didn’t know what Serena experienced there, it sounded very painful.

“Now… I have someone who cares about me.”

Serena suddenly said this, lifting her head to say to Wuming, forcing a very reassuring smile.

“Right? Wuming.”

“…”

Wuming let go of her shoulders.

Someone who cares about her…

She’s talking about me…

It’s just that I like “helping others” a bit.

“Have I become that important in your heart?”

Wuming asked her with a smile.

“Of course!”

Serena extended her hand with the ring.

“After all, we’re now in a ‘husband and wife’ relationship! So definitely important!”

“But this ‘husband’ was forced by you.”

Wuming said somewhat helplessly.

After seeing Serena’s ability, he knew how she forced the “marriage” contract.

Using her ability to force him?

Interesting.

“Anyway, you’re my husband now.”
