"Zi Qing, what is going on?" Senior Disciple Xian Yun asked.
After all, no one knew how Zi Qing had learned why Wan Yunting was targeting Tan Zhiyuan!
Zi Qing's dazed phoenix eyes were calm and unruffled. She said, "This afternoon on Jianya, the person who wanted to kill Abbot Wan said himself that Brother Tan contacted him and arranged for him to enter our Wudang Sect to assassinate Abbot Wan!"
Qin Yuan and Yang Xuan, among others, looked surprised and turned to look at their Master Zhong Yulong, who was sitting beside them, and their Martial Uncle Zhang Yansong, and said, "Does this mean that Brother Tan really invited someone to kill Wan Yunting?"
Ouyang Shenhe walked in and greeted Zhong Yulong, Zhang Yansong, and others. He sighed and said, "Sect Leader Zhong, Daoist Zhang, my grandson Xiao Wan also mentioned this matter to me. The person behind the scenes who wants to kill him is the drug lord behind the world's largest drug trafficking group!"
"I believe you must have heard of my grandson's title as a people's anti-drug hero. After all, he has assisted the police in cracking down on so many drug dealers, and people have long been targeting him, wanting his life. I believe that your disciple Tan Zhiyuan might have been manipulated by someone to do such a thing!"
Ouyang Shenhe's old face was very serious as he spoke to Zhong Yulong and Zhang Yansong. "I believe that my grandson Wan Yunting would absolutely not do anything detrimental to your Wudang Sect."
"Therefore, please believe the police, and they will give you a satisfactory answer!"
Zhong Yulong nodded. After all, Wan Yunting had already been taken away by the police from the police station at the foot of the mountain for investigation. At the same time, the police had also begun to search the exit routes around Wudang Mountain to catch the gunman!
"Master, we're back..."
At this moment, Xiu Qi and Huo Fei returned, panting. Seeing their Master and uncles and martial uncles gathered in the main hall, Xiu Qi shook his head and said, "We couldn't catch him, he got away."
Zhong Yulong nodded, stood up, and said to Ouyang Shenhe, "Patriarch Ouyang, it's getting late. You should also go back and rest. Let's wait for tomorrow's results."
"Alright."
Ouyang Shenhe nodded, then gently said to Zhang Yansong, who was sitting beside him with a sad expression, "Daoist Zhang, please accept my condolences."
Zhang Yansong nodded. Ouyang Shenhe said nothing more, turned around, and left with the help of his butler, Zhang Heng.
Suddenly, everyone's attention was focused on Zhang Yansong. Zhong Yulong stepped forward to comfort him, "Martial Brother, you should also go back and rest. We'll talk about it after tomorrow's results."
"Alas, it's my fault for not disciplining him properly..."
Zhang Yansong shook his head and sighed, which made Zuo Qi and Wang Zhengyi, along with disciples like Xian Yun and Xiu Qi, look at him in confusion. Zhang Yansong said with deep regret, "If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have taken Zhiyuan to the capital!"
Zhong Yulong raised his eyebrows and asked, "Martial Brother, why do you say that?"
Zhang Yansong sighed and said, "Zhiyuan has grown up by my side since he was a child. However, that child is quite deep in his thoughts. Ever since I took him to the capital last year to experience the world of pleasure, I noticed a change in his thoughts. It's possible that he was indeed manipulated by someone and did such a foolish thing!"
Zhong Yulong also sighed and said, "Alright, Martial Brother, don't overthink it. Go back and rest."
With that, he had Yao Xin and Xiao Chuanzi help the grief-stricken Zhang Yansong leave...
"Alas, Martial Brother treated Zhiyuan like his own son. To have a white-haired man see off a black-haired one..."
Zuo Qi and Wang Zhengyi looked at Zhang Yansong's receding figure, which was being supported out, and shook their heads, sighing incessantly.
Zhong Yulong also shook his head slightly and sighed, letting everyone else go back to rest...
At this moment, Wan Yunting was in the interrogation room of the police station at the foot of the mountain. The station chief personally questioned him about the incident and confirmed that Tan Zhiyuan was not killed by him. At the same time, Pang Yuan also explained some of the events to the station chief in detail over the phone, and the station chief understood.
By the next morning, Wan Yunting was released from the police station. Seeing his father Ouyang Zhixin, who had rushed over overnight, Wan Yunting felt a little moved. Ouyang Zhixin quickly went up to him and asked, "Xiao Wan, are you alright?"
Wan Yunting shook his head and smiled, "I'm fine. Why are you here?"
Ouyang Zhixin said, "I received a call from your grandfather last night, so I brought people over."
Wan Yunting nodded and glanced at the people Ouyang Zhixin brought. He smiled at him and said, "Let's go up to Wudang Mountain first."
"Okay."
Ouyang Zhixin nodded and accompanied Wan Yunting back to the Wudang Sect. Along the way, father and son chatted about the matter. Wan Yunting thought for a moment and asked, "How much do you know about your second uncle's son, Ouyang Liqun?"
"Liqun?"
Ouyang Zhixin looked surprised, a bit puzzled why Wan Yunting suddenly asked about his nephew Ouyang Liqun. He said, "This cousin of yours is not simple. He is very deep in thought and very intelligent. Especially in business talent, he is very high. If it weren't for you, your grandfather would have certainly passed the position of family head to your second uncle Ouyang Weizhi, all because of Liqun!"
Wan Yunting nodded and raised his eyebrows, asking, "Then do you know him well in normal times?"
Ouyang Zhixin shook his head and said, "He studied and started his own business in the United States before, and rarely returned to the country, so I didn't interact with him much. However, from his performances every time he returned to the country, he seemed quite honest."
Wan Yunting nodded, his eyes narrowed, and said, "It's precisely because he's honest that he's terrifying!"
This statement made Ouyang Zhixin raise his eyebrows and turn to look at him, asking, "Xiao Wan, why did you suddenly mention him? Do you have any opinions about Liqun?"
Wan Yunting thought for a moment and then said, "According to my investigation and suspicion with the police, Ouyang Liqun is very likely involved in drug trafficking crimes abroad!"
"What?"
As they were walking up the steps to Wudang Mountain, Ouyang Zhixin immediately stopped and turned to look at Wan Yunting with wide, astonished eyes, disbelieving, "Are you saying that Liqun might be trafficking drugs abroad?"
Wan Yunting nodded. He glanced back at the people following them from a distance and said, "The drug cartel war that broke out in Mexico a while ago, there was a drug trafficking group called 'Qunlong'. You should know about it, right?"
"Yes, I saw that news."
Ouyang Zhixin nodded, but suddenly his eyes widened, and he looked at Wan Yunting in shock, saying, "Qunlong Drug Trafficking Group, could this drug trafficking group be related to Liqun?"
Wan Yunting continued to climb the steps, shaking his head and said, "We only suspect it, but we don't have direct evidence to prove that Ouyang Liqun is the boss behind the Qunlong Drug Trafficking Group!"
"How is that possible?"
Ouyang Zhixin, who had caught up, said, "According to the news, this Qunlong Drug Trafficking Group is the largest drug trafficking force in Mexico. Although Liqun is capable, how could he possibly create such a terrifying drug trafficking force?"
"Also, if it really is him, where did he get the courage to do such a thing? Also, our Ouyang family in the capital, although not the first of the five great families, is also the second. Liqun has been born with a silver spoon in his mouth. Why would he still go abroad to traffic drugs and do such a life-threatening criminal act?"
Ouyang Zhixin couldn't understand it. He could even say that this news had overturned all his previous views of Ouyang Liqun!
In fact, Ouyang Zhixin greatly admired his nephew. Although he had a falling out with his younger brother Ouyang Weizhi, Ouyang Liqun was, after all, a member of their Ouyang family. Even if he didn't inherit the position of family head, if it were successfully passed on to Liqun, Ouyang Zhixin would be gratified.
After all, Ouyang Liqun was intelligent and deep in thought, and was already a leader among the younger generation in the business world of the entire capital.
But upon hearing Wan Yunting say that he was very likely involved in drug trafficking crimes abroad, Ouyang Zhixin still found it hard to believe.
"When he was studying abroad, was he kidnapped?" Wan Yunting asked.
"Yes."
Ouyang Zhixin nodded and said, "Your second uncle took the money and ransomed him directly."
Wan Yunting asked, "Did anything else happen?"
Ouyang Zhixin raised his eyebrows, thought for a moment, and then shook his head, saying, "Except that he became quiet and reticent after returning, nothing else seems to have happened. Those kidnappers only wanted money."
"But Xiao Wan, how did you and the police suspect him?"
So Wan Yunting briefly explained the matter of Fang Tai and Chen Guangyang to Ouyang Zhixin, which made him raise his eyebrows and say, "I heard a while ago that Fang Tai and Chen Guangyang had an accident in Europe. So they were also involved in drug trafficking crimes!"
"They were silenced."
Wan Yunting said, "The person behind it didn't want them to fall into our police's hands, just like Tan Zhiyuan this time!"
Ouyang Zhixin nodded and said, "Then this incident with Tan Zhiyuan, was it the boss behind the Qunlong Drug Trafficking Group who wanted to kill you?"
"Yes."
Wan Yunting nodded and said, "Earlier in Huadu City, when I was assassinated, I originally suspected Sima Boyong. But the swordsman I met yesterday on Jianya revealed that it wasn't Sima Boyong, but someone else!"
Ouyang Zhixin frowned and said, "Then we need to investigate who Tan Zhiyuan contacted in the capital!"
Wan Yunting and Ouyang Zhixin had already arrived at the small plaza of the outer hall of the Wudang Sect. The two continued to walk towards the inner sect of the Wudang Sect, saying as they walked, "Tan Zhiyuan's activities in the capital should be very simple. He is a disciple of the Wudang Sect, and his most frequent activity is in the cities around Wudang Mountain. He could go to the capital because his Master, Daoist Zhang, treated my grandfather last year!"
Ouyang Zhixin's eyes lit up and he said, "So you are more suspicious that Liqun used Tan Zhiyuan to hire people to kill you, right?"
Wan Yunting turned his head and nodded at him, "Tan Zhiyuan had very few contacts in the unfamiliar place of the capital. But since he accompanied Daoist Zhang to treat my grandfather, he naturally had the opportunity to come into contact with Ouyang Liqun!"
"Yes, the logic is correct."
Ouyang Zhixin nodded. If Ouyang Liqun was indeed the big boss behind the Qunlong Drug Trafficking Group as Wan Yunting suspected, then he could have used Tan Zhiyuan to hire martial arts experts from the Jianghu to assassinate Wan Yunting.
As for what conditions Ouyang Liqun offered Tan Zhiyuan, it was unknown and not worth caring about.
Now, what Wan Yunting cared about was to return to the Wudang Sect first and ask the old Daoist Zhang Yansong about whom he met when he took Tan Zhiyuan to the capital, and if Tan Zhiyuan had any suspicious behavior in the capital!
"We don't have conclusive evidence yet, so don't tell Grandpa about this for now," Wan Yunting turned his head and said to him.
Ouyang Zhixin nodded, understanding his meaning, "Your grandfather is old. If Liqun really committed drug trafficking crimes, he would surely get sick from anger if he found out."
Wan Yunting nodded and said nothing more. He brought Ouyang Zhixin to the passage gate that led into the Wudang Sect. The two disciples guarding the gate immediately recognized him. One of them hurried inside, while the other greeted him, "Abbot Wan..."
