Feng Yi didn't say much else, shouldered his pack, and turned to leave, his steps quickening as he went.
The young investigator, who had been prepared, handed the bag containing the silver ring snakes to his colleague and then immediately followed in the direction Feng Yi had taken.
Another investigator from the Joint Protection Bureau inside the vehicle secured the bag with the snakes and reported the situation to the higher-ups. Soon after, they heard some noise outside and turned to look.
They saw their colleague who had gone after Feng Yi coming back.
"What happened?"
"Couldn't catch up."
"…Oh, the team leader just said that it's fine if we can't catch up, we'll wait for him to come back and then invite him over for a talk at the bureau. Let's head back first."
"We're not waiting here?"
"The team leader said there's no need."
"Okay then."
