Guan Ya was stunned. Her first reaction was doubt and disbelief. She clicked on the post and scanned it a few times. The content described how Yuanshi Tianzun was unexpectedly attacked last night and died at home. The cause of death was unknown.
The process was not described in detail.
But the experienced official members of The Way of the Extraordinary immediately understood.
Assassination!
The cause of death was unknown and the death was bizarre, so it must have been an assassination.
Official members of The Way of the Extraordinary in the Songhai Branch and even in branches across the country were furious after reading the content of the post. They had a strong sense of empathy for their colleague who had been assassinated.
"Who did it? The Spiritualist Society or the Xiahou family? Are they provoking our Five Elements Alliance?"
"It can't be the Xiahou family, right? Yuanshi Tianzun has B-level meritorious service. Would the Xiahou family be crazy to assassinate him? If they really did that, the Council of Elders and the Alliance Leaders would definitely sanction the Xiahou family."
"Are the people in the Songhai Branch all useless? They can't even protect such a genius. I just went to the Taiyi Gate forum and saw that everyone was mocking us, saying that the Five Elements Alliance can't even protect its own people."
"What does this have to do with Songhai? It's the people in Kangyang District who are useless."
"He just died like that? What a pity..."
Guan Ya's expression was not good. She exited the forum after reading a few comments. She still didn't believe the content of the post.
So she opened her address book and dialed Yuanshi's phone.
If he answered, she would laugh and tease him, saying, "Didn't you die? How are you still alive?"
If the phone didn't connect, if the phone didn't connect...
"I'm sorry, the number you dialed is turned off. Please try again later!"
Guan Ya's face crumbled little by little, turning pale. She stood there blankly for a few seconds, then suddenly grabbed her handbag and rushed to the stairwell, her back staggering and panicked.
She had to go to Yuanshi's house to confirm.
Just as Guan Ya rushed out of the glass building and was about to get into the car, she was stunned again. She remembered that Yuanshi's cousin, Chen Yuanjun, was the captain of the Kangyang District Public Security Bureau's security team.
She immediately changed direction, ran in high heels towards the Public Security Bureau building.
She rushed into the administrative building and asked the clerical staff at the front desk:
"Is your Captain Chen Yuanjun at work today?"
The clerical staff obviously recognized Guan Ya and was surprised that she would take the initiative to ask about Captain Chen. She smiled and said:
"Captain Chen is upstairs. Shall I call him down for you?"
Upstairs? Guan Ya scrutinized the female clerk.
Suddenly, she shook her head: "No, never mind!"
Chen Yuanjun was at work as usual. The female clerk's eyes were filled with curiosity and gossip. As a scout, Guan Ya immediately realized something was wrong.
Either Chen Yuanjun didn't know about his cousin's death, or Yuanshi wasn't dead.
She turned and left the Public Security Bureau building, bathed in the warm sunlight. She went to a secluded place, took a deep breath, and dialed Fu Qingyang's phone.
"What is it?" Fu Qingyang's cold voice came through.
"Where is Yuanshi? Is he dead or alive?" Guan Ya said in a low voice.
After asking, she held her breath.
"I made a plan with him to fake his death for a few days." Fu Qingyang's voice was as calm as ever. "I've already informed Li Dongze. Now that you know, please cooperate."
Guan Ya exhaled, completely relaxed. "Can I ask why?"
"Your level is too low. You're not qualified to know." Fu Qingyang said indifferently.
Guan Ya gritted her teeth. "I should have beaten you harder when you were a kid."
"I have work to do. Don't bother me if you have nothing else." Fu Qingyang hung up the phone.
The sun was shining brightly. Guan Ya put away her phone and her mood brightened up. She picked up her bag and walked towards the glass building.
Suddenly, she stopped and frowned.
In the entire organization, only she, Li Dongze, and Wang Tai knew Yuanshi's true identity. Fu Qingyang informed Li Dongze and asked him to cooperate, but he didn't inform her, his cousin.
Fu Qingyang put down his phone, rested his elbows on the table, and crossed his fingers under his chin.
His cousin was showing concern for Yuanshi Tianzun that went beyond a normal colleague relationship.
For some time, Guan Ya had often praised Yuanshi Tianzun in front of him, saying that this young man was talented, qualified, and had a good brain. At first, Fu Qingyang thought it was just normal appreciation.
And it was.
But he secretly kept an eye on Guan Ya's attitude towards Yuanshi.
Just now, he tested her and found that his cousin's affection for that kid had gone up another level.
This was not a good thing. The Fu family would never let Guan Ya be with a small character. The groom that his aunt had chosen came from a family that could rival the Fu family.
From another perspective, if this could stimulate his cousin's ambition, it might not be a bad thing.
Hmm, Yuanshi might not fancy her. A sentence suddenly flashed through Fu Qingyang's mind: "Unlike me, I only like black stockings and long legs, and my hobbies are simple."
His mouth twitched.
Guan Ya returned to the office and saw Jiang Jiwei and Squad Leader Teng Yuan talking solemnly.
Seeing her come up, Teng Yuan pushed up the bridge of his glasses and said in a low voice:
"I've already heard about Yuanshi Tianzun's matter.
He died for the organization. It was a work-related death. I think we should give his family a pension."
Jiang Jiwei also looked sad. "I didn't protect him well."
Guan Ya pondered for a moment and said, "Squad Leader, what do you think is the appropriate amount to give?"
Teng Yuan said in a deep voice, "A small goal. What do you think?"
"Are you crazy? No one will pay attention to you." Guan Ya's mouth twitched. "Whatever makes you happy. You can try submitting an application."
It was a rare day off at home. Since there were no professional classes in the morning, Zhang Yuanqing had a good sleep. When he woke up, he saw the little rascal crawling around the room with his uncle's wallet on his head, entertaining himself.
"This little brat," he sighed.
He thought, "Can you find me something else? It's either my aunt's underwear or my uncle's wallet."
If this continues, the TV station will come to interview us. The title will be:
"Aunt's Underwear Frequently Stolen, Uncle's Wallet Repeatedly Missing. Is this a Distortion of Human Nature or a Decline in Morality? Tonight at 8 o'clock, Let's Enter the World of the Grotesque Nephew, Zhang Yuanqing!"
He came to the living room. His aunt had already had breakfast and dressed herself beautifully, and was about to go to work.
Zhang Yuanqing was stunned. "Aren't you going to be late?"
His aunt peered into the kitchen and whispered, "Shh! Your grumpy grandma just scolded me. Don't bring up this topic. If she hears it, she'll nag endlessly. It's so annoying."
She overslept this morning, hugging the quilt and dozing until 8:30, when she was woken up by her grumpy mother hitting her butt.
Zhang Yuanqing scrutinized his aunt's beautiful face. Underneath her soft eyes, there were heavy bags, but they didn't detract from her beauty. Instead, they gave off a delicate charm.
"What did you do last night?" Zhang Yuanqing criticized.
"Did you take the opportunity to practice the Yang-harvesting Yin-replenishing Technique?"
His aunt spat and made a gentle hand gesture. "I'm practicing the Jade Maiden Scripture!"
Zhang Yuanqing: "Then I'm going to use the Dog-Beating Staff Technique that I've practiced for twenty years to break your Jade Maiden Scripture."
The two exchanged a few punches in the living room. Grandma rushed out of the kitchen and roared, "Get out of here and go to work!!"
Jiang Yuer twisted her small waist and slipped out the door.
After a simple breakfast, Zhang Yuanqing returned to his room, took the wallet from the little rascal's head, pulled out three red bills, and instructed:
"Put it back."
Speaking of which, his uncle, that idiot, hasn't realized that the money is missing yet. No, he probably doesn't even know the wallet is gone.
He watched the little rascal crawl out of the room, then turned his attention to the important matter.
"If the operation three days from now is successful, we will indeed be one step closer to Black Impermanence. But 'Heaven's Injustice' shouldn't know Black Impermanence's hiding place. What information can we obtain after asking the spirit?
"Fu Qingyang must know this too. I just don't know what his follow-up plans are..."
At this moment, his phone 'ding-donged', indicating that there was a message.
It wasn't for Yuanshi Tianzun. Zhang Yuanqing picked up his phone to check. He had taken out "Yuanshi Tianzun's" SIM card last night.
Sender: Little Yuan.
The phone number corresponding to the mailbox was the unregistered SIM card that Zhang Yuanqing had asked his cousin to help him get.
Of course, he wouldn't be stupid enough to use the name of Yuanshi Tianzun to contact Aunt Little Yuan.
What information did she find out? Zhang Yuanqing cheered up and read the message carefully:
"Another vice president of the Spiritualist Society, a subordinate of Gu Wang, has recently been offering a reward on the black market for Black Impermanence and his subordinates. Gu Wang may have information about Black Impermanence, but I can't find out.
"I got the contact information of one of Gu Wang's subordinates. His The Way of the Extraordinary ID is called 'Man Blood Bun', and his contact information is...
"Secondly, the list of rewards set by the evil professions was updated yesterday. On the Saint list, Fu Qingyang and Fire God are tied for first place. On the Transcendence list, Yuanshi Tianzun, a member of The Way of the Extraordinary of the Songhai Branch, is on the list, ranking at the bottom. However, I heard that that guy is already dead. Maybe the list was updated and someone took the leader's head and got the money. This information should be useful to you. You can report it to your superiors."
"Third, Li Xianzong, a level 3 Enchanting Demon of the Soldier Lord Sect, assassinated a level 4 Saint of the South Branch of the Spiritualist Society a few days ago with his own strength. With this battle alone, his ranking can be promoted to the evil profession, .; top five in the Transcendence stage."
It seems like this 50,000 yuan was a bit of a waste of money. Auntie, would you consider repaying me with your body? Zhang Yuanqing complained in his heart.
But after carefully analyzing it, he felt that the 50,000 yuan was well spent.
The news of "Yuanshi Tianzun's death" appeared in the black market where evil professions gathered, which meant that the information had been transmitted. The operation tomorrow night had a few more points of certainty.
In addition, he also learned about the reward list. It turned out that it wasn't just official organizations that had rewards, evil organizations would also issue reward lists to hunt down elite members of the Five Elements Alliance.
<Sword Coming>
He, a Night Wanderer who had cleared two levels in a row, was also on the list, although he only appeared briefly at the bottom of the list.
"I'm not afraid of anyone. I want to be at the top of the list," he quipped to himself.
"The first piece of information can be used well. Although 'Man Blood Bun' is an evil profession, the enemy of my enemy can also be my friend. On the matter of obtaining the roster, I and the official are both enemies and friends."
Zhang Yuanqing had been worried about "snatching the roster" and didn't have a clear plan. His initial idea was to entrust the Palace Master of Stop Killing to help him snatch the roster.
But because Black Impermanence was missing and hadn't been found, he couldn't formulate a detailed plan and felt very insecure.
Now, he suddenly had a bold idea. Perhaps besides the external help of the Palace Master of Stop Killing, he could also collude with the enemy.
Stir up the water.
The official, Dark Night Rose, Black Impermanence, and Gu Wang's attention must all be focused on the Holy Grail. At this time, the Master-level Palace Master of Stop Killing can take action to compete for the roster, and the resistance won't be too great.
"Try to contact Gu Wang's people."
