In the future, Earth becomes a relic of the mythical era.

Chapter 139 Clues
"I know what you want to ask, but I'm sorry, it's not that I don't want to tell you, it's just that I don't know either."

Liu Eryu said apologetically, "The Brothel is a cancer in the Far East region. We've been watching it for a long time. Tonight we just received a tip that someone is trying to kill you at the Brothel."

"I didn't expect to be late. If you weren't so capable... I probably wouldn't have the face to go back and see Sanxian."

What does this have to do with the Three Delicacies?
Xie Lingxin twitched the corner of her mouth.

"Think about it yourself, have you offended anyone recently?"

"Offended people? There are plenty of them."

Xie Ling thought for a moment: "White Lotus Society, Religious Affairs Bureau... oh, and Ye Longtang."

By killing the Iron-Masked Man, he had, strictly speaking, offended both the White Lotus Society and the Bureau of Religious Affairs.

Later, he destroyed the giant white bone Buddha statue that the Corpse Buddha Craftsman had made, which must have greatly offended the Corpse Buddha Craftsman.

He even embarrassed Xiao Yan in front of everyone. Not only Xiao Yan, but the entire clan management office probably hates him to death.

And then there was Ye Longtang not long ago...

Wow, I didn't realize how many people I've offended until I counted them!
I'm clearly a law-abiding person!

Liu Eryu: "...You're quite something. In such a short time, you've offended so many people, and each one of them has a bigger background than the last."

Xie Lingxin said indignantly, "It's all because these people are so mean and despicable! They even bully honest people like me."

"..."

Faced with such shamelessness, Liu Eryu didn't know how to speak, so she could only say, "Don't worry, we will find out the truth and give you an explanation."

"However, while these shady scoundrels like the Ponzi Scheme are not to be feared, they have many ways to hide. It will probably take some time to find them, so don't be impatient."

Liu Eryu was worried that Xie Lingxin, after what happened tonight, might be holding a grudge and do something irrational.

"Thank you very much, Eryu! However, we must handle our own brothers' affairs!"

At this moment, Chu He walked in.

"If someone dares to lay a hand on our Environmental Protection Bureau brothers, then they must be prepared to pay the price."

Xie Ling thought to herself, "Captain Chu, what brings you here?"

Chu He said, "Director Dai already knows about this. Don't worry, he asked me to tell you that he will personally investigate this matter thoroughly."

"Did Director Dai also get involved? Please thank Director Dai for me."

Xie Lingxin knew that even if Pang Ju valued her highly, he couldn't possibly revolve around her every day, given Pang Ju's status.

Such a quick response can only be attributed to careful planning and execution.

"Then you should go and thank him yourself."

Chu He said, "Just now when I saw Director Dai leave, he was furious, as if he was going to cause trouble for the municipal government."

Xie Lingxin immediately guessed what Fatty Orange was thinking.

A killer has appeared in the jurisdiction and used prohibited weapons; the city government cannot escape responsibility no matter what.

Fat Orange clearly wanted to drag the city government into the mess and put pressure on them.

With so many parties working together, even the most notorious den of iniquity will inevitably suffer a severe blow.

……

City government.

Wang Yinglan's face was grim.

Xie Lingxin's guess was correct.

Dai Yang had just left, but the pressure remained for Wang Yinglan.

She used only one sentence: "The person who had just received the Elders' decree to go to the Starry Sky had just left when his son was assassinated. If this gets out, what will others think of her as the governor?"

"Ye Ding, is that you?"

She contacted Ye Ding directly, and a projection of his slicked-back hair appeared in front of her.

Despite the seemingly random remark, Ye Ding immediately understood: "Official Wang, you're wronging me. You know, if I, Ye Ding, wanted to harm someone, would I need to hire an assassin?"

"Besides, it's just kids playing around. Why should I make such a big deal out of it?"

"Considering that you've worked hard for Leizhou over the years, even if you haven't made any significant contributions, I'll believe you for now!"

Wang Yinglan said in a deep voice, "But don't let me find out that you're two-faced, or I won't let you get away with this!"

Ye Ding protested, "Tsk, Officer Wang, your words are hurtful."

"Humph!"

Wang Yinglan hung up immediately.

He pressed the summons button: "Someone, keep a close eye on Far East Mining. Report every single thing that happens to them to me."

"Yes!"

"Wait, how is Xie Lingxin?"

The subordinate said, "Officer Wang is in the hospital. I heard it's nothing serious, just some minor injuries. But the other sanitation worker was seriously injured, though he survived."

Wang Yinglan nodded and couldn't help but sigh, "I remember, that child wasn't even 18 yet, was he?"

"Two assassins from a notorious money den, one a third-level martial arts master, the other a third-level mental master, and they also possess prohibited weapons,"

"Even a sanitation worker at the team leader level would probably be doomed if he encountered this, but he actually managed to escape and even kill someone. He is truly a promising young man."

The subordinate chimed in, "Isn't that right? I've already looked into it. Xie Lingxin was practically fighting two against one, and she was ambushed and lost the initiative, yet she still managed to kill one and escape. She's really amazing."

Wang Yinglan said, "No wonder. The father is no ordinary man, and the son is also remarkable. Perhaps in the future, a great Xie family will truly emerge in Leizhou."

"Go and give them a word, tell them to put in the effort and treat him properly. As for the expenses... have Dai Yang submit a report, and I'll approve it. The city government will increase the Environmental Protection Bureau's budget next year as appropriate. If he has any requests, try your best to accommodate them."

"Yes."

……

Far East Mining, Ye family.

Ye Ding's face darkened as he pointed at Ye Longtang: "You little beast, I told you not to cause trouble!"

"And what do you do? You get a supernatural implant surgery and still manage to cause me trouble!" "Are you itching for trouble if you don't cause some?"

"dad!"

Ye Longtang cried, "I'm already like this and you're still lecturing me? That little piece of trash surnamed Xie dared to treat me like this! He looks down on our family! Aren't you going to avenge me?!"

Ye Ding trembled with rage: "How could I have given birth to such a useless piece of trash like you?"

He wasn't angry that Ye Longtang was capable of causing trouble.

But this kid's methods are too crude.

If you can handle things, then go ahead and cause trouble. With the Ye family's wealth, we're not afraid of that Xie guy.

Even if Xie Dongshan was invited by the elders' decree.

If Xie Dongshan were a grandmaster or a great mage, he would naturally give way to him and even worship him.

But he was just some old Confucian scholar, a completely outdated figure.

It wasn't that he looked down on great Confucian scholars; on the contrary, he was quite wary of them.

However, practitioners emphasize that great power originates from within themselves, while great Confucian scholars rely on the ethereal "great power."

The power of the great trend, majestic and imposing.

However, it was difficult to maneuver.

For a commoner to rise to the top in one step, it takes time.

Given the size of Far East Mining, although they dare not touch Xie Dongshan, they have a hundred ways to deal with Xie Lingxin without giving anyone a handle to use against them.

How could things be like this now, where someone has been smeared with dirt even though we did nothing wrong?
It can't be washed off!
"Look at yourself, you're a sight to behold! And look at how others are!"

"A third-level martial artist and a third-level mental master, even when they joined forces, were both defeated by him, one was killed and the other fled!"

"With your character, you little beast, how dare you overestimate yourself and provoke him?"

"I just want to ask you, where do you get the nerve? Where do you get the audacity?! Huh!"

Ye Ding became increasingly angry as he spoke.

Ye Longtang shrank back, feeling a lingering fear upon hearing Xie Lingxin's record.

How could a lowly commoner be so fierce?

Two third-dan martial artists and a spiritual master attacked at the same time, yet they still managed to survive.

Why didn't you just say you were this good?

Seeing his cowering appearance, Ye Ding became even more furious and cursed:

"Keep what happened today to yourself! And don't you ever mess with that Xie kid again!"

"Otherwise, I'll break your legs!"

Damn it! We're all supposed to be sons, so why is my father such a useless piece of trash?!
"I know, I know..."

Although Ye Longtang was unscrupulous, he was still afraid of Ye Ding.

Even if they were dissatisfied, they dared not disobey too much.

"I'd like to see which bastard dares to use the Ye family as a pawn!"

……

Environmental Protection Bureau.

Atmospheric Science Office.

Not only Xie Lingxin, but Shen Wen has also returned from the hospital.

With the Federation's biological and medical technology, as long as the injury is not to the mind but only to the body, even if the heart is gone, as long as the person is held on to life, they can be saved.

And it won't take much effort.

However, the financial cost will be considerable.

Because of the special nature of sanitation workers, they are essentially on call 24 hours a day.

So even though it was "off-get off work" time and Xie Lingxin was on vacation, both he and Shen Wen could still be considered "work-related injuries".

That saved a lot of money.

This assassination attempt not only gave Xie Lingxin a scare, but also allowed him to personally experience the strength of the Federation in all aspects.

A greater desire for money arises.

In this kind of environment, money is life!
literal meaning!
"We've found a clue."

Chu He walked in: "The one who placed the order for the Ponzi scheme is just one of Ye Longtang's lackeys."

"The man has been brought back for questioning. It's because you hit Ye Longtang. He was furious, and that lackey took it upon himself to avenge his master by contacting the brothel."

Xie Lingxin and Shen Wen exchanged a glance.

Xie Lingxin asked Chu He, "You believe me?"

He didn't know Ye Longtang, let alone his lackeys.

I just subconsciously felt that this matter was too simple, so simple that it required no effort at all.

That's all too logical.

Chu He shook his head: "I don't believe it."

"But we used psychological interrogation directly, and the result was still the same."

Shen asked, "Mental interrogation can only prove that a person is not lying, but it cannot prove that his mind and memory have not been tampered with."

Chu He nodded and said, "That's right, but so far we haven't found any such traces. We can't rule out the possibility that the mastermind behind this is very skilled."

"Unfortunately, the assassin that Wangcai brought back committed suicide, and his methods were chillingly ruthless, extinguishing his own soul. We couldn't get any information from him at all."

"In short, Director Dai has already gone out to negotiate with Far East Mining. Even if they didn't instigate this, they can't escape responsibility. If they want to get away with it, they'll have to put in some effort."

"Brother Xie, it seems there's no way to find the mastermind behind this case in a short time. I'm sorry."
