In the conference room of the Downs County branch in Northern Ireland, Jiang Qian met his old leader Ji Ming after a year-long absence.

Of course Jiang Qian knew why Ji Ming came, and he had the secret information about Hui Jin abroad.

But for Ji Ming to contact him personally, it must involve a lot of action.

From Jiang Qian's perspective, Ji Ming's external changes were not significant.

She had gorgeous tinfoil-permed blond hair, paired with a burgundy cardigan suit, and still had that indifferent face that kept strangers away from her. Even when she saw her proud subordinates who were once famous for their official performance, they never showed the slightest enthusiasm.

.

On the contrary, the projection of its internal energy structure has undergone a qualitative leap.

In the past year, Ji Ming has successfully passed through the "Heavenly Tribulation" from the fifth state, the complex body, and crossed the realm to the sixth state, the conceptual body. However, his originally weird "double hourglass" energy structure projection has once again appeared.

Change - simply put, "two become one"!

The attached inverted cone-shaped five-state energy structure that was originally attached to the right side of his main energy structure is no longer there, but it does not necessarily disappear out of thin air. Rather, it seems that the "attached body" has been integrated into the original "main" energy structure.

In the three levels from the fourth state to the sixth state, Ji Ming's main energy structure has been thickened and reinforced.

As a result, the fourth, fifth, and sixth state cross-sectional areas of the energy structure projection presented in Jiang Qian's field of vision are wider than the normal energy structure projection!

According to Jiang Qian's understanding of "power", Ji Ming's fundamental strength in the fourth, fifth, and especially sixth states is already far above other elders...

Fortunately, the base of his energy structure is stable enough, otherwise the risk of collapse of such a top-heavy structure is still very high... Jiang Qian sighed secretly.

"Don't use the Qianlong, I'll leave it to you first, let's talk about old times." Yongye Chongming left these words and then disappeared into the invisible.

"Okay." Ji Ming replied.

Speaking of which, Yong Ye Chongming used to be Ji Ming's leader, but he didn't turn out to be very enthusiastic.

From this point of view, Ji Ming still has some advantages, such as treating everyone equally.

Now, Jiang Qian and Ji Ming were the only two people left in the conference room.

Ji Ming stared at Jiang Qian again. His left eye was still covered with the silver lion-head-textured eyepatch. His dull right eye "gazed" at Jiang Qian and asked without warning, "What did you see?"

Jiang Qian was slightly startled.

After meeting him again after a long absence, he didn't expect Ji Ming's first words to him to be so casual and sudden.

Just like the day before, the two were discussing the case in the conference room of the Jinping Operations Department.

"Your energy structure has changed."

In front of Ji Ming, who is also an "unconventional" ruthless character, Jiang Qian felt that there was no need to beat around the bush and speaking directly would save trouble.

"It has changed, and the heavenly calamity has changed."

Ji Ming responded, and then said: "In your eyes, is my energy structure getting better or worse?"

"It's getting better. The two inverted energy structures have merged into one. Although there are still hidden dangers in terms of stability, it is much better now than last year's hourglass structure."

"Integrate into one..." Ji Ming considered Jiang Qian's words, pulled out the seat, "You can sit too."

Jiang Qian then pulled out the seat next to him and sat down opposite Ji Ming.

The topic did not go any further.

After a brief silence, Ji Ming revealed the purpose of today's meeting: "Why do you think I made a special trip to meet you?"

"Ashes needs to make big moves abroad, including the Great Rift Valley in East Africa and a god-ascension ceremony." Jiang Qianyan pointed out the key words concisely and comprehensively.

These all come from the intelligence center of the Eastern "Little Dragon God".

"You guessed it right."

Ji Ming didn't beat around the bush. While nodding in approval, he took out a plastic-sealed photo from his suit pocket and showed it in front of Jiang Qian.

Jiang Qian took a closer look and saw that it was the old photo he found from the "Life and Death" styling store last year!

Relevant memories poured out...

He clearly remembered that this photo was found in the store of Wang Fugui, the owner of the "Emergency" card. At that time, Dr. Dai, who also came out of the "Ace" copy, was also looking for this photo. In the end, by some strange combination of circumstances, he was

He cut off Hu by accident.

In this mysterious photo, in addition to the two persons involved, Wang Fugui and Dr. Dai, there is also a man and woman whose faces have been removed.

And on the back of the photo, there are four words marked-"Jiangyang Thief"!

At that time, Jiang Qian suspected that this photo was related to his missing brother Jiang Yang, but he soon discovered that it was an error and later put it aside...

Now that he saw Ji Ming taking out this photo, Jiang Qian felt a little sad, and an ominous premonition arose in his heart.

"Do you still remember this photo of the 'Riots' gang?"

"Remember, it was a non-governmental organization that was later absorbed by the Southern Ashes."

"Well, that's what we say externally."

Ji Ming said to himself and moved his fingers to reveal another identical hand-drawn copy under the photo!

Jiang Qian looked intently.

In the hand-painted copy of the photo, Wang Fugui and Dr. Dai stand vividly, highly consistent with their appearance and spirit in the original old photo.

However, the appearance of the "faceless" man and woman standing side by side with these two people has been filled in with delicate brushstrokes. Among them, the appearance of the man made Jiang Qian's pupils tighten unconsciously!

"He..." Jiang Qian's pupils shrank slightly.

There was no mistaking it, the appearance of the "faceless" man dramatically overlapped with the face he hated most when he was a boy!

That was Jiang Yang, the eldest son of Jiang who had been missing for many years.

On the hand-painted copy, Jiang Yang is standing among the four people with a defiant expression.

His skin color was one to two shades darker than the other three. He was wearing a black shirt, camouflage pants and lace-up leather shoes. He was hugging his shoulders and being cuddled up against the neck of the girl with small and delicate features next to him.

"When...was it restored?" Jiang Qian couldn't help but ask as he stared at the two photos.

He had chosen to join the Ashes project team just for this photo, but he had never heard about the recovery of this photo.

"I know you have been following this case."

Ji Ming answered the wrong question:

This chapter is not over, please click on the next page to continue reading! "But this case was beyond your knowledge at the time. So you have only had the opportunity to see this until now."

"So..." Jiang Qian slowly raised his head and looked at Ji Ming, "You have known about my relationship with him for a long time, and you also know why I joined the Ashes Investigation Team?"

Ji Ming did not answer directly.

But Jiang Qian already got the answer from Ji Ming's indifferent reaction.

Restraining the surge of blood in the burning fire of Red Lotus Industry, Jiang Qian quickly straightened out his thoughts:

It seems that Ji Ming not only knew about his relationship with Jiang Yang at that time, but also had a good understanding of his motives at the time. But in fact, Ji Ming did not expose or embarrass him because of this, but instead gave him some advice on this matter.

He fully tolerated me.

This is unreasonable.

Is it because Ji Ming knew that he and Jiang Yang were both descendants of plum blossoms who stepped on the snow?

"Is he Ashes?" Jiang Qian broke the silence.

"No," Ji Ming said solemnly, "he is an official member of the Lawful Order."

Jiang Yang is actually a lawful official!

Now it makes sense...

Jiang Qian's mind was racing: As a member of the lawful official, but as a member of the free organization "Jiangyang Gang", the entire team was packaged to join Ashes. Isn't that an undercover agent placed by the lawful official in the Ashes organization?

However, Ji Ming added immediately: "At least, it used to be."

"Was it?" Jiang Qian frowned slightly, "What do you mean?"

Since Jiang Yang was an undercover agent assigned to the Ashes organization, a spy walking in the darkness...then why is it "once"? Could it be that the stupid Jiang Yang had already encountered an accident in action and died heroically?!

Therefore, as a biological brother, he finally has the "authority to know" about this matter...

Jiang Qian tried his best to sort out the joints in these few words, and came to an unoptimistic conclusion.

He couldn't explain what he felt in his heart.

Whether Jiang Yang is missing or dead, it will obviously not have any impact on his life, but he is inexplicably depressed.

"It's not what you think."

Ji Ming sighed imperceptibly and said: "Jiang Yang is still alive, as the great protector of the Ashes Ascension Ceremony."

"?"

"It's just that something unexpected happened."

Facing Jiang Qian's suspicious expression, Ji Ming continued to explain:

"Before you joined the official team, Jiang Yang was already a mature license holder of the Predator family. He joined the Ashes organization as the official 'dark son' and became the core of the Southern Ashes organization during his years of operation.
