Chapter 97 After the Chaos
"Well, it's just like being dropped by a supersonic fighter jet flying close to the ground and dropping a few napalm bombs on it." Chu Tianjiao said with a sigh as he stood on a piece of scorched earth.

"Now is not the time to talk about this." Beside him, Chu Yuwei, wrapped in a coat, looked up at the sky.

The thin dark clouds had dispersed, and the setting sun dyed half of the sky red. The air smelled like a mixture of burnt earth and unevaporated rainwater, which made people feel quite uncomfortable.

Because it is located in a remote area and is an area that has been vacated and is waiting to be demolished, although it was destroyed so badly, there were not many casualties and losses, which is somewhat incredible. Speaking of which, the places where Deadpool appeared were all remote and old, just like crawling out of a decaying world.

"All the surrounding surveillance cameras were damaged by the explosion, but even if they weren't damaged, they would probably be useless in the fog," Susie said. "People nearby said that before the explosion, they didn't see anything strange except the fog."

"Tsk, what a hassle." Chu Tianjiao sighed. This was a bad thing that happened on the day the new branch was established. What was even more troublesome was that those guys in the shadows might come out during the day.

Chu Yuyi glanced at the ruins, walked over to the silent Chen Motong and asked, "Did you find anything?"

As a roommate and also a member of the team, she knew that Chen Motong had the ability to profile. Profiling is to infer someone's personality, living environment, occupation, upbringing, etc. through their behavior. It is often seen in some criminal investigation dramas.

Unlike the usual criminal investigation dramas, Chen Motong's profile is slightly different. She didn't say how it was different, but Susie was so amazed when she heard Chen Motong talk about her family's story for the first time without any explanation that she even suspected she had a spirit of words.

Chu Yu-ni was also slightly curious about Chen Mo-tong's profiling ability, and once told her that she could take a look at hers. Then Chen Mo-tong looked at her and fell into a long silence. Chu Yu-ni still remembered the subtle expression on her face, as if she had seen that King Arthur was actually a girl.

“…No.” Chen Motong shook his head and looked at Chu Yuyi in confusion and said, “It was destroyed too thoroughly. Even if there were any clues, nothing was left in the explosion.”

Chu Yuyi was speechless and did not ask any more questions. She just looked at the explosion site in silence. Chen Motong had one more thing to say, which was that this explosion site was a bit like the ruins after the explosion during their first operation...

The fire alarm sounded, and the fire brigade arrived a little later than them. Chu Tianjiao, as the first person to discover it, immediately went to meet them. Since Deadpool was not found, Chu Yuyi and the others did not need to participate in the following matters. Susie and Jiude Aki from the headquarters went to the nearby area to inquire about the situation.

Chu Yuyi returned to the truck and made a phone call, but received no response. Then she changed back into her clothes, said hello to Chu Tianjiao, and looked at Chen Motong who had been staring at her inexplicably.

"Together?" Chen Motong asked with a shrug.

Without answering, Chu Yuwei paused for a moment, then nodded.

The knock on the door startled Lu Mingfei. He pulled up his clothes and tried to open the door with a natural expression. In the not-so-spacious hallway outside the door, Chu Yuwei and Chen Motong were looking at him silently.

Lu Mingfei shrank his head subconsciously, and then asked: "...What are you doing?"

"Why don't you answer the phone?" Chu Yuwei asked.

"...It fell and got soaked." Lu Mingfei said, and he turned sideways to let them in. Chu Yuwei walked in and looked around. She saw Lu Mingfei's wet school uniform in the bathroom, and it looked like he was about to wash it. The black screen phone was thrown on the coffee table in the living room. Chu Yuwei picked it up and checked it a few times. It was indeed broken.

Chen Motong also walked around the room, looking around like she was visiting. Lu Mingfei thought, let's not talk about Chu Yuzhen for now, it seems that our relationship is not close enough for her to visit the room casually, right?

Then, Chen Motong suddenly asked: "There was an explosion near your school, didn't you see it?"

"Of course I saw it! The fire was so high, I was afraid of being affected, so I didn't even have time to watch the excitement and ran away." Lu Mingfei said in his heart, "I was the one who was blown up to the sky, how come I didn't see it?" "Then I was unlucky enough to be bumped into and fell. Not only did my clothes get dirty, but my phone also fell into the pond."

"Luckily there are only some dilapidated old houses there, not many people." Lu Mingfei added with a lingering fear, "I used to like to take a shortcut there, I guess I have to be careful next time."

"Be careful." Chu Yuwei said, "Go to less remote places recently."

"Got it." Lu Mingfei said as he stuffed all the dirty clothes into the washing machine.

Chu Yuyi looked in the kitchen and asked Lu Mingfei if he had eaten yet. Lu Mingfei said no, so Chu Yuyi took off her coat, rolled up her sleeves, tied her hair and went into the kitchen. Lu Mingfei ran in to help, and Chen Motong really treated himself as a guest and sat in the living room, watching the two of them busy in the kitchen with interest.

The sounds of chopping vegetables and frying pans in the kitchen brought a lot of life. Chen Motong looked around the old house again. Unlike the wealthy house opposite, which connected two adjacent suites to form a large suite, this house retained its original style and was much smaller than the one opposite.

It is not too old, nor too new, not too big, nor too small, but it is big enough for a family to live in.

Chen Motong was slumped on the sofa, the kind of person that parents would nag endlessly about if they saw her, saying why she was so unruly. If possible, Chen Motong also hoped that someone could nag her like this.

"I can't figure it out. Do you consider yourself a guest or not?" Lu Mingfei held the dinner plate and looked at her with gritted teeth. He did not forget that this guy was the suspect who caused him to be tormented by Su Xiaoqiang for the whole afternoon.

Chen Motong looked at him, smiled inexplicably, then stood up and went into the kitchen to serve the rice with Chu Yuwei.

Three people were squeezed on a small corner dining table. There was no way there could be any high-end ingredients in Lu Mingfei's refrigerator. It was not as good as the dinner across the street last night, but at least it was much more than what was found after the battle in the kitchen of Chu Yuqi's house that day.

Chu Yuzhen, who was a quiet person during the meal, remained silent. She looked unusually peaceful while eating quietly. On the other hand, Chen Motong… Although he had seen her last night, Lu Mingfei still couldn't figure out whether she was here as a guest or to check on her household registration. Even eating with her mouth couldn't stop her.
