"But as soon as that Ba Qiang heard that Guan Hongyu was arrested, he confessed!" Zhou Dong said immediately.
"Oh."
Wan Yunting was surprised. Zhou Dong took a sip of soy milk and said, "According to Ba Qiang's confession, Guan Hongyu held a high position in their Tianyan Main God Sect. He was said to be a disciple of an elder in their sect, and their main activities were in several remote areas in Xizang."
"And Guan Hongyu was active in Shigatse City! Ba Qiang was Guan Hongyu's subordinate. The two of them promoted the Tianyan Main God Sect in Shigatse City, Xizang, and deluded many local people."
"Later, Guan Hongyu even got to know the Buddhist 'Ye Yin Mu', also known as Losang Zhuoma. They even became a couple and maintained the relationship for over a year, until last month, when the two of them appeared and broke Guan Hongyu's relationship with Losang Zhuoma!"
"It was me and Senior Sister!"
Immediately afterward, Li Zihang walked in. He had just gone to the restroom. He smiled at Wan Yunting and said, "Senior Sister and I have been tracking Lei Li, that is, Guan Hongyu's whereabouts. Later, we found him in Shigatse City, Xizang, and discovered his affair with the Buddhist Ye Yin Mu, so we informed the Buddhist masters about their situation."
Wan Yunting listened and nodded. He also knew what happened afterward. After the Buddhist sect learned about Losang Zhuoma and Guan Hongyu, they eventually sentenced her to death. Guan Hongyu then stole her body and disappeared.
"Senior Sister and I chased them all the way, following the evil aura until we reached Hua Du City,"
Li Zihang sat down. His left hand was injured and he couldn't move it, but he reached out with his right hand, picked up a soup dumpling from in front of Niu Qiuling, and started eating as he spoke.
Wan Yunting narrowed his eyes and asked him askance, "Are you really Daoists from the Wuliang Daoist Temple?"
"Of course."
Li Zihang nodded, stuffing a soup dumpling into his mouth.
But Wan Yunting said, "From what I understand, Daoists from your Wuliang Daoist Temple wouldn't pursue those evil spirits, would they?"
"Who said we wouldn't?"
Li Zihang rolled his eyes at him and said, "My Senior Sister and I learned all our skills from our Shiniang! My Shiniang is a Daoist nun from Maoshan!"
"A Daoist nun from Maoshan, then I can understand,"
Wan Yunting nodded. After all, Maoshan specializes in exorcising evil and capturing ghosts.
The Wuliang Daoist Temple, however, was different. Although they also had some skills in dealing with evil spirits, they focused more on cultivation and martial arts. Therefore, they naturally couldn't compare to Maoshan, which specialized in exorcising evil and capturing ghosts.
"Yunting, you tell us about last night first," Zhou Dong said.
"Okay…"
Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi nodded, and they recounted everything that happened last night to Zhou Dong and the others, and made statements…
However, since Guan Hongyu was currently detained, they had interrogated him once in the morning, but he still refused to speak, leaving Zhou Dong and the others helpless.
But based on Ba Qiang's confession and Li Zihang's account, they had some understanding of Guan Hongyu's affairs.
His purpose in returning to Hua Du was to use Fang Yanxi to revive Losang Zhuoma!
It had to be said that Guan Hongyu was a devoted lover. From his violation of the Tianyan Main God Sect and his willful return to Hua Du City at great risk, just to save Losang Zhuoma, one could tell how deeply they loved each other.
However, despite this, he could not escape the law of the country!
Those who break the law must pay the price, no matter the reason. As long as the law is broken, it is wrong.
"How is Tian Guofu?"
Wan Yunting and Fang Yanxi, along with Li Zihang, walked out of the police station and Wan Yunting turned to ask.
Zhou Dong said, "We've already sent him to the hospital for treatment, but he seems to have some mental problems. Why don't you go and see him, Yunting? He's at your Southern Hospital."
"Alright, I'll go back to the hospital to see him now."
Wan Yunting nodded, and without further ado, he left the police station with Fang Yanxi. Li Zihang also followed.
Since Fang Yanxi had to go to Chaoting Group for work today, she didn't want to trouble Wan Yunting and took a taxi to work by herself. Wan Yunting took Li Zihang with him on the way back to Southern Hospital to see how his Senior Sister Xu Lingwei was doing.
However, Wan Yunting was also sure that his Senior Sister and Junior Brother were from the Wuliang Daoist Temple…
Upon returning to Southern Hospital, Wan Yunting did not go back to the Chinese Medicine department but headed directly to the hospital's inpatient building. He went to Xu Lingwei's ward. Seeing that she was in a general ward with other patients, and since the corpse poison had been removed and her wounds treated, Xu Lingwei's arm wounds were bandaged and had improved significantly. Her hands were not moving, and she was eating breakfast.
"Senior Sister, we're back."
Li Zihang rushed in. Xu Lingwei nodded in greeting when she saw Wan Yunting.
"How are you, is your injury better?" Wan Yunting asked with a smile.
"Mm."
Xu Lingwei nodded and continued to slowly sip the vegetable and lean meat porridge in her bowl without saying anything.
Seeing her indifferent demeanor, Wan Yunting knew she was not an easy person to get along with. He smiled and said, "Then you two should rest well. Observe in the hospital for two days, and you can be discharged if there are no issues."
"Okay."
Li Zihang responded. Wan Yunting smiled and said no more, preparing to go see Tian Guofu.
"Wait, buddy…"
Unexpectedly, Li Zihang quickly called out to Wan Yunting. He glanced at his Senior Sister, who was lowering her head and drinking porridge, and then sheepishly walked up to Wan Yunting, grinning and saying, "Can I discuss something with you?"
"Go ahead," Wan Yunting said with a smile.
"It's like this."
Li Zihang immediately said, "Senior Sister and I left the mountain in a hurry and didn't bring much money with us. Plus, we were tracking evil cultists all the way and looking for our Shishu in Hua Du City, so the travel expenses our Shifu and Shiniang gave us are almost gone."
"Now my Senior Sister is injured and hospitalized, and we have no money. So, can we borrow some money from you to pay the medical expenses first? Don't worry, we'll definitely return it to you."
"This matter…"
Wan Yunting thought it was something serious, but it turned out to be about borrowing money. He smiled and said, "Alright, I'll go see how much your medical expenses are, and I'll pay for them first."
"That's great, thank you. You are truly our savior," Li Zihang said excitedly.
Then Wan Yunting asked, "But you just said you were looking for your Shishu in Hua Du City? What's your Shishu's name?"
"This…"
Li Zihang hesitated. He looked back at his Senior Sister sitting on the hospital bed, engrossed in her porridge. Seeing that she didn't say anything, he then smiled at Wan Yunting and said, "We have two Shishus in Hua Du City. One is named Gongsun Xiuliang, and the other is named Chang Wude!"
Wan Yunting's expression stiffened. It seemed that his Senior Sister and Junior Brother were indeed disciples of the Wuliang Daoist Temple…
In another special ward, a police officer stood guard at the door.
"Doctor Wan, you're here."
At this moment, a chief physician in the ward saw Wan Yunting enter. A person was lying on the hospital bed, it was Tian Guofu, whose limbs were cut off by Guan Hongyu, leaving only his head and body. He was still in a coma.
"Doctor Liu, how is he now?" Wan Yunting asked first.
"Well, his life is not in danger."
Doctor Liu pointed at Tian Guofu and said, "However, he has suffered mental trauma. It's estimated that he will be mentally disturbed even after he wakes up."
Wan Yunting nodded, then went up to observe Tian Guofu's condition. However, due to his current special physical state, he could not be treated with acupuncture directly. So, he could only wait for a while and see if the Thirteen Needles of Gui Men could help Tian Guofu recover from his mental abnormalities.
Because there was still no direct evidence as to whether Tian Guofu was the one who set fire to Guan Hongyu's parents' factory…
Wan Yunting left the ward and went downstairs directly to the payment counter to pay the medical expenses for Senior Sister and Junior Brother Xu Lingwei. Then, he went to the ATM to withdraw 10,000 yuan in cash for Li Zihang, which made him extremely excited.
Finally, he said, "Buddy, you didn't have to give us cash. You could have transferred it to me via WeChat…"
