Chapter 81: 80 is purely a strong sense of justice! (2 more updates)
Gu Yuan stepped out of the dark corner, speaking coldly, "Repeat what you just said!"
Yun Ran then saw that this guy was also there.
The talismans on Hua Jiang weren’t there to torment him, but to protect him from being torn apart by the Prohibition that existed on his body.
Hua Jiang’s face was covered with faint black lines, similar to those on the Puppets.
This was clearly not an occasion for whispering, so Yun Ran could only murmur to Ginsengfruit.
"Have they found a way to counteract the black lines on the Puppets? It seems that the Special Administration Bureau really does have a lot of talented people."
When she first found Hua Zhao, she was not sure if she could find a way to lift the Prohibition of black lines on his body in a short time.
[You’re on your own, while they are a group. Can you even compare? Besides, how do you know they’ve just started researching it?]
Yun Ran nodded, "True, I shouldn’t boost their morale and undermine my own. If I focused on it, I’m sure I could do it too."
When Hua Jiang saw Yun Ran coming in, his gaze followed her. He probably couldn’t accept that he was defeated by a young girl.
The black lines on his body were indeed similar to those on the Puppets, but with a difference. The pattern on the Puppets made them tirelessly and painlessly attack people.
But these black lines on them were devouring their cultivation and Dao progress, causing them to suffer tenfold.
Yun Ran felt that Hua Jiang definitely wouldn’t be able to reveal any secrets. This kind of person was mostly cannon fodder.
Even the piano teacher was ready to sacrifice himself to complete the Destruction Spirit Array when he saw he had no way out, so how important could Hua Jiang be?
Even if they themselves were already quite formidable, they were still low in the hierarchy of their power.
Just like the one hundred thousand celestial soldiers fighting Sun Wukong in Journey to the West, each of them was a talent and a formidable character when taken individually.
But in the eyes of the Heavenly Court, they were still cannon fodder, with very little knowledge of anything important.
Gu Yuan applied another talisman on Hua Jiang’s body, and Hua Jiang repeated the story.
It turns out that the people who tried to assassinate Yun Ran and Qu Ying at the hospital were them.
They had just received the task to eliminate all related personnel involved in the previous failed mission.
Qu Ying has the protagonist’s halo; they couldn’t kill her. On Yun Ran’s side, their people were counter-killed.
But the other participants in Hai City were all erased, only before no one had linked them to the incident.
Yun Ran just learned that Qu Ying’s masseuse, yoga instructor, and several trusted service staff all died in various accidents.
And these people, seemingly unremarkable in daily life, had actually infiltrated Qu Ying’s life seamlessly.
Sometimes the things they said could subconsciously influence some of her thoughts.
What surprised Yun Ran the most was that among those eliminated were people from the Capital City.
It seemed that person had been prepared for a long time, not only escaping but also cleaning up all clues.
So even those who carried out the orders did not know who the other party was, only that it must be someone directly or indirectly connected to Qu Ying.
For Yun Ran, who had been unable to find any leads, this was a very important step forward.
When she got back, she would pry Qu Ying for information, especially since she had a billion that Qu Ying really wanted; there was no way Qu Ying wouldn’t take the bait.
When Yun Ran and the others returned to another conference room, she still sat quietly in the corner, obviously treating herself as part of the background.
Qingmu Elder looked at Yun Ran with some sympathy. Earlier, he had been wondering which master the prodigy Yun Ran came from.
Who would have thought she was also unfortunate, a target of the Luck Raider.
Gu Yuan looked at the eyes of the crowd and then spoke, "The boss wants Yun Ran to join the special investigation team; does anyone have objections?"
Immediately, someone jumped out, "I disagree, each of us here is battle-hardened; bringing in a young girl would just be a burden."
"That’s right. Although I admit Yun Ran has some abilities, the fact that her Qi Fortune has been plundered will seriously affect our operations."
"I think it’s actually a good thing for Yun Ran to join. Instead of blindly searching for those people, having ready bait will double the effect, won’t it?"
...
More than a dozen people voiced their opinions loudly and clearly, but it was evident that there were fewer voices in favor.
Yun Ran, still engrossed in the emotions of catching the culprits harming the original owner, flickered her gaze slightly when she heard these words.
Now she seemed to understand why Xie Xuzhi had her come here.
This matter was clearly led by Xie Xuzhi. If successful, the merits would be significant, but it seemed others also wanted a share of the spoils, and there might even be traitors among them. freewebnøvel.coɱ
Her presence, put nicely, was like a brick to be moved wherever it was needed; harshly, it was to muddy the waters.
Thinking of the conditions she had discussed with Xie Xuzhi before, Yun Ran somewhat regretted it. This guy, with little difference from Boss Zhou, wanted to exploit her to the fullest.
Just as she was thinking so, the notification of funds arriving at her bank account came through.
Opening it up, whoa, there was a bonus of 5 million in the account.
Xie Xuzhi’s message also arrived at the same time: [Double the reward after the job is done!]
Yun Ran suddenly felt she could again take action; it’s just stirring trouble, and she was good at that. Of course, it wasn’t that she loved money, but just purely a sense of justice!
Watching the heated argument among the crowd, Yun Ran stood up with a slam on the table, her tone stern.
"Guys, it’s not nice to cross the river and tear down the bridge after reaping the benefits. If it weren’t for me, how many people would have died in the Du Family villa compound? Do you have any idea?
There are so many influential leaders in there; have you calculated the losses?
You even got a live catch from me, which provides you with an opportunity to Refine Magical Artifacts. I won’t talk about the merits involved.
I’m young, and you can have the credit, but now you won’t even let me have a taste of the soup; that’s going too far, isn’t it?"
Apart from those who agreed with Xie Xuzhi’s suggestion and watched Yun Ran’s ’rage’ in silence, the rest felt an itchy discomfort all over their bodies.
But when they wanted to refute, Yun Ran directly displayed her Little Paperman.
The Little Paperman, adorned with electric flowers, was impressive, suggesting these people better not nag, or she’d let the Little Paperman slap their faces!
