Chapter 458: Behind the Scenes Mastermind [3 updates]
Seeing the man, the lord of University Town was shocked, “Li Xini… Director?”
Indeed, such a bombing would certainly fall under IBI’s jurisdiction, so their arrival was a question of sooner or later.
This time, IBI reacted quickly; it had been merely a little over three hours since the explosion began.
But the town lord had never considered the possibility of the IBI Director being involved.
Even during attacks with far more casualties, Li Xini always commanded from IBI headquarters remotely.
Why had he personally come this time?
The lord of the town subconsciously became tense.
Aside from talents from various countries, who else was buried here?
The lord knew a few things.
The high ranks of IBI were all named after emperors from Ancient Rome.
Like Director Li Xini, and similarly, Deputy Director Dai Ya, or Airship Commander Anthony.
It wasn’t just a reflection of strength but also symbolized absolute authority.
However, few knew that within IBI, Li Xini didn’t hold the most power; above him was a Supreme Executive Commander.
This Executive Commander wasn’t part of IBI’s official staffing, yet all IBI personnel were at his disposal, including Li Xini.
Li Xini frowned as he glanced at the University Town lord, “Have all the people been rescued?”
“There are still a dozen or so.” Nearby, the rescue team captain handed over the list, lowered his head, and let out a bitter laugh, “The poison gas is too severe, we can’t get through.”
But it was different for IBI.
IBI possessed the world’s most advanced defense weapons and technology, which enabled them to maintain global peace.
Li Xini took the list and a map before saying indifferently, “Let’s go, into the site.”
The utmost principle of IBI was to prioritize the lives of all citizens on Earth.
Everything else came second.
Including their own lives and deaths.
“Yes, Commander,” the high-level detective saluted.
Before coming here, they had prepared rescue supplies and all protective measures.
Yet, before the IBI detectives could enter, the sound of an airplane’s roar echoed once more.
Li Xini narrowed his eyes and looked up, taken aback by what he saw.
It was also an airplane, but it had a strange shape, being flat.
When the airplane landed, a group of people debarked.
Their attire was school uniforms.
On the right breast of the uniform was a golden emblem.

Norton University Action Department!
Leading them was the head of the Action Department.
Blond hair, blue eyes, handsome, and very young, definitely not over twenty-five.
“I figured you would be here,” the head of the Action Department nodded slightly, “Let’s go in together.”
This startled even Li Xini, “You all…”
IBI had cooperated with the Norton University Action Department a few times to capture international criminals.
However, in those few collaborations, the Action Department would only come out if there were Norton University students involved.
He had confirmed that there were no students from Norton University among the ruins.
So, what brought the Norton University Action Department here?
The lord of University Town was puzzled, “Director Li Xini, who are they…?”
Li Xini waved his hand to stop him and instead addressed the head of the Action Department, “Then let’s go together.”
Both teams immediately went in.
The remaining high-level detectives helped the rescue team to settle the wounded, set up temporary tents, and distribute food.
The lord of the town finally let out a sigh of relief, and the tension in his nerves eased.
With IBI here, it meant there was absolutely no danger now.
The town lord waved his hand, signaling the guards to rest in turns.
He also took a piece of bread to eat, and as he turned around, he bumped into a car that was speeding towards him.
The lord was startled.
The car managed to stop just in time before hitting him.
The high-level detective looked up and saw a young man quickly getting out of the car.
“Seems like I’m late,” the young man glanced at the time and frowned, “IBI has already arrived.”
The high-level detective subconsciously looked at the insignia on the side of the car, which was recognizable by anyone in O Continent.
The Lorentz Family!
“Hello, you must be the University Town lord,” the young man extended his hand for a handshake, “I am Colin Lorentz, fully responsible for the Lorentz Family in dealing with this incident, including everyone’s safety.”
The lord was stunned, letting his hand be shaken, “Ah? Right, right, you all…”
The high-level detective wiped sweat off his forehead and took a deep breath.
All three globally recognized untouchables gathered today?!
Their presence was normal, but what was up with Norton University and the Lorentz Family?

At this time, the poison gas had not only failed to dissipate but had become even denser.
Wen Fengmian had already reached the hotel ruins, holding a life detection device in his hand and searching while shouting loudly, “Yaoyao? Mr. Fu?”
It was very quiet, with no response whatsoever.
Having ventured so deep into the depths of the DEATH poison gas for so long, even the S-level protective suit was gradually turning black.
Wen Fengmian’s body swayed.
Was this his fate, and was his daughter to share it?
The protective suit turned black even faster.
Once completely black, it would no longer serve any function!
“Sir! Sir, please come down! We’ll help you, don’t be agitated,” Li Xini, who had hurried over, saw and leapt up in a few strides, “We will rescue your daughter.”
Indeed, Wen Fengmian was exhausted, and even speaking was difficult for him, his voice strained, “Please, you must save her.”
“Commander, over here!” a detective shouted excitedly, “We’ve detected a heartbeat.”
Li Xini followed, and several people worked together to move the stone slab.
There was indeed someone underneath.
But the scene stunned everyone present.
The man used his hands to gently lift the girl in his embrace.
On his arms were wounds large and small, a sight that was shocking to the eye.
With his embrace, he had carved out a space for the girl to live.
Upon glancing at the man’s face, Li Xini was startled.
It was also at this moment that Fu Yunshen lifted his eyelashes and glanced at Li Xini.
After confirming that Ying Zijin had been sent up, all his strength seemed to drain away in an instant, he closed his eyes, and fell backwards.
“Direc…” Li Xini’s expression changed drastically, he quickly retracted his address and, with quick reflexes, grabbed Fu Yunshen’s shoulders, “Sir!”
Thankfully, IBI had brought an ample supply of tools, so there was no need to worry about the ruins collapsing again.
Two female students from Norton University’s action department immediately placed Ying Zijin into the ambulance, connected her to various machines, and began treatment.
On this side, Li Xini and another detective rescued Fu Yunshen from the deep pit.
“Commander, I found this,” another detective ran over.
He opened his hand, revealing a piece of fabric in his palm.
On it was a very clear black skull symbol.
The expression was eerie, as if mocking and provoking something.
Li Xini fell silent for a moment, “It was deliberate.”
The origin of this black skull, IBI truly hadn’t figured out.
Because everyone who had worn this symbol, whether fingerprints, blood types, or faces, didn’t match anything in the global databases.
The only certainty was that it was a force not content with the status quo.
Historically, wherever this symbol had appeared, although few in number, there were always significant casualties.
“Keep it safe,” Li Xini instructed, “Bring it back to the office for analysis later.”
The two rescue teams also found a few other people on the list.
Fortunately, these people were not at the center of the poison gas and were still clinging to life.
Li Xini didn’t send a message in the group of their high-level executives but only to Anthony.
Only he and Anthony had seen Fu Yunshen’s true appearance.
[The commander is still alive.]
That was all he could reply with.
Yes, still alive.
Whether he could wake up remained an unknown.

In Hua Country.
A night passed, and the news exploded even more.
The trending search on Weibo remained high.
[Ah ah ah, is there any news at all, please give us something!]
[All flights to University Town have been stopped, I can’t go there even if I want to, and I’ve been scared all night.]
[I know that Feng Yue and Teng Yunmeng have run out, but what about God Ying? Is God Ying okay?]
Until someone in the know revealed a piece of news.
[Yes, the latest news, there is poison gas in University Town, and the rescue teams are having difficulty getting in, and among the people who have been rescued, there is no mention of Ying Zijin.]
As soon as this Weibo was posted, the comments erupted with criticism.
[Rumors! Rumors!!!]
[I don’t believe it, I absolutely don’t believe it! How could God Ying possibly be dead, she still needs to shoot a music MV with Yu Zai!]
[Yu Zai also hasn’t had any news until now, I’m a bit panicked.]
From the live broadcast, Qin Lingyu’s fans could vaguely guess that Qin Lingyu had probably gone to rescue people.
Then the live broadcast was cut off, and the fans didn’t know what had happened.
Qin Lingyan was in Continent O but was also keeping up with the news from home.
He sighed softly and handed his phone to Qin Lingyu beside him, “Don’t you want to let your fans know you’re safe?”
Qin Lingyu was hanging one arm in a sling, his complexion pale.
