Simulation: Starting from Under One Person

“Walls have ears,” said the young man to Lü Liang’s right.

The reason the two were being so cautious was because Shen Chong had instructed them that many people were searching for Lü Liang, meaning there was a high probability of an extraordinary person appearing near Lü Liang. If they weren't careful, certain things could be leaked out...

Even if something is leaked, it won't cause any trouble.

After all, many people wanted to know the secrets of the Jia Shen Rebellion, but in the end, no one succeeded in finding the truth.

Lü Liang: ┐(?-｀)┌

I don't quite understand it, but I can vaguely grasp it, and I even find it quite amusing.

Using a locator to pinpoint Lü Liang's location, Shen Chong didn't follow Lü Liang and his group nearby, but instead talked to someone in the hotel.

A social networking app with a penguin icon; Shen Chong quickly typed and edited a message and sent it to Tu Junfang.

Shen Chong: "Have you found any trace of Lü Liang?"

A few seconds later, Tu Junfang replied: "I didn't go looking for anyone at all. Yesterday I encountered a shady Taoist priest being chased by two other Taoist priests. I found it quite amusing, so I followed behind the three of them to watch the show~"

Attached are a few pictures and a video of about ten seconds.

Shen Chong was somewhat speechless. Tu Junfang's behavior was like three people arguing, and you were holding a melon and watching the show up close, even shouting "Fight! Fight!" It was full of provocation!

"...You'd better watch out, you might get beaten up!"

A few seconds later, Tu Junfang replied: "Don't worry, those three combined are no match for me."

Shen Chong opened his mouth as if to speak, but hesitated, then composed himself and slowly typed: "Whatever makes you happy."

After a brief conversation, based on Shen Chong's understanding of Tu Junfang, he confirmed that the probability of Tu Junfang being passive-aggressive was higher than 90%, and there was no need to worry about Tu Junfang betraying him for the time being.

Besides, there are still many potential backstabbings lurking in the shadows, after all, Fang Rui didn't know how many people he had sent to search for Lü Liang.

Holding his phone, Shen Chong's gaze fell on the glass window. He needed to ensure that his key figures wouldn't be captured by the enemy while he could successfully find the treasure, all while being surrounded by enemies.

"...It feels like playing a game, it's quite exciting!"

"The passion has been rekindled after so long!"

As he spoke, Shen Chong became somewhat excited. He found Gao Ning and Dou Mei in his contacts. Based on his understanding of the two, he knew that they were also interested in the secrets of the Jia Shen Rebellion and could be called in to help for free.

About a minute later, Gao Ning, who was in a city a hundred miles away, received a phone call.

Gao Ning's round, smiling face furrowed slightly before relaxing. He answered the call: "Shen Chong, is there something you need?"

"I have some good news for you~" Shen Chong's tone was a bit strange, which made Gao Ning frown.

His intuition told him that this was another trap!

The reason for using the word "again" is that he had already fallen into a pit once before, referring to the time when he ganged up on Fang Rui but was beaten back. That time, he really fell into a deep pit and was in great pain and misery.

Therefore, Gao Ning's reply was...

What trouble have you gotten into this time?

Shen Chong: "…………"

Chapter 82 The Inexplicable Spread of Effect

"What do you mean you've gotten yourself into trouble again?!"

Upon hearing this, Shen Chong became furious and was not satisfied with Gao Ning's words.

Gao Ning's lips twitched slightly, and he said in a gentle tone, "You know very well why I say that."

Shen Chong: "…………" Don't bring up my embarrassing past!

After taking a few seconds to compose himself, Shen Chong continued to describe the good news he had been talking about. He briefly recounted how he and the acting sect leader were searching for the secrets of the Jia Shen Rebellion, and informed Gao Ning that they had found some clues. He also did not hide the fact that Fang Rui had sent people to search for Lü Liang from Gao Ning and Dou Mei.

After all, relationships need to be maintained; you can't just fleece one sheep at a time, or you'll end up fleecing them all.

After listening quietly to Shen Chong's story, Gao Ning felt a pang of jealousy and said speechlessly, "Why is he going against Fang Rui again?! There's more than one way to seek thrills..."

"Who said I'm looking for a thrill!" Shen Chong retorted instinctively, then coughed and said, "Don't go that far, just tell me if you agree or not."

“Of course…” Gao Ning’s face was as kind as a Bodhisattva’s, and his tone was gentle and slow: “…I promise, you have to get up from where you fall down.”

Shen Chong was silent for a few seconds after hearing this, then said in a low voice, "I have a feeling you'll fall into the same trap twice..."

The last time I fell into the pit was a few months ago. The difference in strength between the two sides was too great to be overcome in just a few months of hard training.

Upon hearing this, Gao Ning's smile faltered, and his words became barbed: "Do you think I'm like you? Knowing you can't defeat them head-on, you still confront them directly. A smart person should play to their strengths and avoid their weaknesses, using their strengths to attack the enemy's weaknesses."

'No, to be precise, it's wise not to do things you're not sure about, but unfortunately...'

Shen Chong gently pushed up his black-rimmed glasses. The members of Quanxing were all people who acted according to their own preferences, and there were not many smart people among them.

Thinking this, Shen Chong hung up the phone and added Gao Ning to the list of those who would disrupt the flow of information. Based on the current situation, he guessed that the probability of Gao Ning and Dou Mei following his orders was extremely low, and they would most likely choose to act independently.

After the groups were formed, Shen Chong continued to contact the next person.

………………

Just as Shen Chong had guessed, he and Tu Junfang were not the only ones looking for Lü Liang, but he guessed that... those people were not brought by Fang Rui.

Some of them came from Biyou Village. As one of the top talents, Lü Huan was well-liked in the village. Many villagers were willing to help after learning about her troubles, suggesting that she ask for help when she went to the village office.

Another group came from Lüjia Village. Depending on the reason for leaving the village, they were treated differently. For example, this time... Lü Liang ran away from home and was used by Lü Ci as bait. Otherwise, he would not have been able to escape from Lüjia Village under martial law.

The remaining people were either lured there by the Quanxing members who were traveling with Lü Liang, or they discovered members of the Lü family and secretly followed them for various reasons.

With so many extraordinary individuals gathered in one place, it was only natural that the Na Du Tong Company would notice, and the Na Du Tong employees, who had changed into civilian clothes, were also part of the group.

At the entrance of a certain alley, two middle-aged men stood side by side smoking, their burly figures obscuring what was happening inside the alley.

Deep in the alley, a young man in a brown hoodie leaned against a cement wall, his indifferent gaze fixed on the young man slumped opposite him, his tone slightly cold.

"I don't have time to beat around the bush with you. You have two minutes to explain things clearly and what Quanxing wants to do."

"I..." The young man clutched his aching abdomen, pausing for two or three seconds before finally saying, "...I don't know!"

The young man in the hoodie tilted his head slightly and drawled, "Hmph... stubborn, huh?"

As he spoke, the young man moved his hands and feet, his knuckles cracking as he pinched them together.

"If it were an ordinary prisoner who was stubborn, I might hesitate for a second or two, but Quanxing..."

The young man kicked out, and with a dull thud of flesh colliding, the youth was kicked to his side and lay on the ground.

"I just kicked him right away!"

The young man lying on the ground was breathing heavily and said with difficulty, "I really...don't know!"

"Stubborn, huh?"

Young people don't believe what the youth say, just like a criminal who has been caught always cries out that he is innocent. In most cases, even if some people know something very well, they won't easily say it.

He looked down at the Quanxing members, slowly raising his right leg backward, preparing to unleash a barrage of high-frequency kicks to make them quickly realize the reality.

Seeing the young man's actions, the young man lying on his side guessed what the other person wanted to do and hurriedly exclaimed, "I'm not lying, I really... don't know!"

However, the young man did not stop his actions because of his shouts, and his expression did not change at all. He raised his foot and kicked forward.

I said!!!

A loud roar echoed through the alleyway. A foot stopped just centimeters in front of the young man's abdomen. Out of the corner of his eye, he caught sight of the distance that could be covered in a second, and the young man's forehead was instantly covered in cold sweat.

That was close!

The unknown young man withdrew his right leg, his face saying as if to say, "What a jerk, he won't talk unless he gets beaten up." He took a few steps back, looked down at the young man, and said, "Speak, tell me what you know."

"Since you are asking for information, please allow me to assist you."

At this moment, a somewhat rough voice came from behind the young man. The young man, who had already heard the footsteps, did not speak, but turned his head slightly to the right and glanced behind him out of the corner of his eye.

An ordinary-looking young man then came into his view, and the person to the left of the young man was his colleague.

"Who is he?" the young man asked his colleague, already having a guess about the man's identity.

Since this person has been brought back, he must be of use.

Upon hearing this, the young man opened his mouth slightly, seemingly preparing to introduce himself, but before he could speak, someone else acted faster.

The employee from NaDuTong standing next to him gave a brief introduction: "A member of the Lü family."

The young man from the Lü family slowly closed his mouth, took two or three seconds to compose himself after being interrupted, and then opened his mouth again to introduce himself.

Before he could speak, the young man raised an eyebrow slightly and asked succinctly, "You know the Soul-Clearing Technique?"

The young man, interrupted once again during his self-introduction, remained silent for a few seconds before saying in a muffled tone, "Yes."

Next, he prepared to give a brief self-introduction, at least stating his name.

pity……

“Very good.” The young man nodded slightly, as if to say, “I don’t even have a name, and you still want one,” interrupting his self-introduction again, and pointed at the Quanxing youth, saying, “Come and help.”

One of the signature abilities of the Soul Detection Technique is lie detection.

The young man being pointed at panicked, sensing that something terrible was about to happen...

Chapter 83 Transition

Young people from Nadutong were in charge of asking questions, young people from Quanxing were in charge of answering, young people from Lüjiacun were in charge of lie detector tests, and the rest watched the show.

About two or three minutes later, the three stopped asking questions.

The young man, an ordinary employee at NaDuTong, looked rather grim. He said speechlessly, "Damn it! He knows absolutely nothing! What a waste of my time!"

"It wasn't a complete waste of time; we did gain some information." The young man from Lüjia Village had a slightly somber expression. Through this interrogation, he had obtained some basic information, such as that the person who gathered the manpower was Shen Chong, and that they were following Shen Chong's instructions to protect Lü Liang.

Based on the current intelligence, it is impossible to determine whether the spies lurking in Lü Family Village are from Quanxing. We need to observe for a period of time to see if any other forces have contacted Lü Liang.

Hopefully, the bait we cast will catch fish, and we won't come away empty-handed!

The young man, whose hobby was fishing, silently added to himself, nodded slightly to the two people beside him, then turned and left the alleyway, returning to his companions.

"How was it? Did you get anything?" a companion asked.

"He's just an unknown nobody, he knows very little." After a few seconds of pause, the young man recounted the information he had obtained, and his companions listened quietly before offering their opinions.

"It's impossible for Shen Chong to plant a spy in the village on his own, let alone do so silently and without anyone noticing, unless he cooperates with those Quanxing demons."

"But can the disorganized Quanxing Society cooperate?"
