The addictiveness of forbidden drugs is amplified tenfold, making the effect incredibly terrifying. Coupled with the difficulty of withdrawal, using such illegal substances to pave the way, any organization can penetrate successfully!

Not only can they enter, but they can do so without any hindrance!

Thinking of this, coupled with the symptoms exhibited by that prisoner in the interrogation room last night, Lu Yu was startled!

It seems that this time, Meng Yue, this little girl, has unwittingly gotten herself into big trouble!

Just considering the capabilities of Uncle Chen that night, and the characteristics of Ghost.

Lu Yu can now fully conclude that the organization behind Uncle Chen is definitely a formidable existence!

Thinking of this, Lu Yu lowered his gaze and continued browsing on the tablet.

However, before he could browse for long, the drug research report ended abruptly!

Seeing this, Lu Yu couldn't help but frown.

In this drug research report, there is no specific explanation of which plant Ghost comes from, only a suggestion that it might be Opium Poppy, but there is no further explanation.

What's more, this report does not specify its origin, nor does it mention regions where it has appeared.

Such vague results truly left Lu Yu feeling quite perplexed!

Observing Lu Yu's expression, Luo Lie seemed to guess his doubt. He shook his head and said, "Honestly, I tried looking into this Ghost through various Shadow Sword channels, but the results were very disappointing..."

Speaking, Luo Lie paused slightly, staring intently at Lu Yu in front of him, and continued, "In all the Shadow Sword files, there is no information about Ghost. Moreover, neither I nor even the most authoritative experts have seen the plant used to extract Ghost. So, this Ghost should be the most cutting-edge forbidden drug, making its first appearance now!"

The most cutting-edge forbidden drug!

Hearing these words, Lu Yu's eyes narrowed slightly, a sharp gleam flashed across.

"This matter is truly becoming more troublesome now!"

Lu Yu spoke softly, his words revealing a hint of gloom.

According to Luo Lie, if this Ghost is the most cutting-edge forbidden drug and it's appearing for the first time in LA City, it means there is absolutely no data available for me to refer to!

Such a forbidden drug, coupled with the organization Uncle Chen mentioned earlier, all indicate that this is not a simple case!

Behind this seemingly simple forbidden drug case, there are clearly more unknown factors!

And these unknown factors are clearly beyond what Meng Yue can handle alone!

Thinking of this, Lu Yu couldn't help but shake his head, appearing quite helpless.

Since there is no information on this Enchanting Soul, nor about the organization behind it, what I can do now is try to protect Meng Yue as much as possible during commutes.

After all, Meng Yue seized ninety percent of their goods this time, not for anything else, just for this batch of goods, they will definitely strike again!

Seeing Lu Yu like this, Luo Lie couldn't help but shake his head, then asked, "What? If you find anything tricky about this matter, we at Shadow Sword can offer help!"

In his words, Luo Lie noticed the sharp gleam in Lu Yu's eyes, so he made such an offer.

"I don't need it for the time being!"

Upon hearing Luo Lie's words, Lu Yu replied calmly, his tone solemn.

Right now, he doesn't want to owe Luo Lie too many favors.

Furthermore, in this matter, Meng Yue and I are in the open, while the opponent is in the dark, and now I know their target is the ninety percent of goods seized by Meng Yue!

So, to a certain extent, Lu Yu now holds part of the initiative!

If Luo Lie were to assist, it would provide an additional layer of security, but it might also alert the enemy and instantly lose the initiative!

Enemies in the open aren't scary.

The most terrifying are those lurking in the shadows!

Because you never know when the opponent might suddenly pounce and deal a deadly blow!

With the initiative in hand, Lu Yu can clearly know the opponent's intentions, and then respond accordingly. While he can't attack proactively, he won't end up in a passive situation either.

Once the initiative is lost, I will be completely in a passive state!

And that's exactly why Lu Yu refused Luo Lie's offer of assistance!

"Alright then."

Hearing Lu Yu's words, Luo Lie smiled and shook his head, then picked up his glass and said to Lu Yu, "If you need anything, feel free to contact me anytime!"

"No problem!"

Hearing Luo Lie's words, Lu Yu slightly raised his glass, then tipped his head back, downing the alcohol in one go with Luo Lie, exuding a sense of boldness.

...

Meanwhile, in the North Suburb of LA City, in the Sound Nest's villa.

At this moment, Uncle Chen had completely changed from yesterday's embarrassment, dressed in a somber gray outfit, standing with a grim face in the villa with three burly men standing before him.

Each of these three men was clad in a black tight-fitting suit, exuding a cold aura, their eyes like lightning, revealing a stern murderous intent so intense that it was hard to look them directly in the eye!

Especially the leading man, with a long scar over his right eye, gave off a particularly fierce impression at first glance.

"Three Heroes of the East Hall? Who allowed you to come here?!"

Looking at the three burly men before him, Uncle Chen spoke coldly, his words full of censure, clearly displeased with their presence.

"Uncle Chen, we were sent by the Young Master this time."

Upon hearing Uncle Chen's words, the leading man of the Three Heroes of the East Hall spoke, his tone low, carrying a rebellious aura, showing no respect for Uncle Chen!

"Sent by the Young Master?!"

Hearing the leading man's words, Uncle Chen's eyes shifted, replying coldly, "Lu Nanfeng, your lies are too clumsy! The Young Master and I are fine in LA City, why would he need you to come over?!"

His words were icy, clearly not believing what the man named Lu Nanfeng said.

"Uncle Chen!"

Listening to this, Lu Nanfeng's voice held a hint of disdain. He looked at Uncle Chen and said, "Stop pretending. We all heard about last time, how you were driven back in disgrace, vomiting blood. We're here to help you out this time!"

His words were filled with frivolity and provocation, laced with a heavy dose of sarcasm.

"You!"

Hearing Lu Nanfeng's words, Uncle Chen's eyes widened, a stern aura pressed toward Lu Nanfeng, accompanied by a hint of murderous intent.
