I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"It's not that they'll be wiped out. The Lü family is still around, but it's not the same Lü family it used to be."

"Although the Lü family acted discreetly and the assassins they hired had no connection with the Lü family, the Jiang family still managed to find out, and naturally, the Jiang family wanted revenge."

"The Jiang family released several bombshell announcements through their own channels, all of which were about the shady things the Lü family had done."

"The news spread extremely quickly, and the Lü family soon became infamous and was reviled by thousands."

"Ordinary people just watch the show, but those in the circle all know what's going on. Those who usually associate with the Lü family keep their distance, afraid of getting into trouble."

"No one doubted the authenticity of those messages, because the Lü family was investigated shortly after the messages were released."

"This also confirms the authenticity of those messages. No one dares to cooperate with the Lü family anymore, for fear of being dragged down as well. The Lü family is in a terrible predicament."

"When a wall falls, everyone pushes it down; many people began to nibble away at and devour the Lü family. The Lü family declined day by day and never recovered!"

"The Jiang family never directly attacked the Lü family from beginning to end, nor did they admit that they were the ones who released those messages."

"Such things have happened many times. There are always people who don't believe in evil and provoke the Jiang family, and the result is similar to that of the Lü family."

"That's how the Jiang family built its authority time and time again."

After hearing what Cai Qingyi said, Qin Ge was overjoyed. "Very good, very powerful, I like it!"

Cai Qingyi pursed her lips, "Don't be fooled by the Jiang family's seemingly glamorous appearance; they actually have their own unspeakable grievances."

"They seem to have leverage over many people, but they dare not easily offend anyone. Otherwise, if they are attacked by a united front, their only fate will be annihilation!"

"However, Jiang Xun, the eldest son of the Jiang family, failed to see this point. He was a very radical person and offended many people after he began to take power. In just eight years, the second and fourth masters were killed one after another."

"Mr. Jiang Xun also died three years ago."

"Last year, the Third Master was killed, and with that, all four sons of the Jiang family head have died."

"It's impossible that Patriarch Jiang couldn't have found out the cause of death of his other three sons, but only the Lü family was targeted for revenge. What does that mean? It can't be that the Lü family sent people to kill all four of them, can it?"

"It must involve a force that the Jiang family cannot afford to offend, so the Jiang family can only pretend to be deaf and dumb."

Qin Ge looked at Cai Qingyi in surprise, "How do you, a mere spy, know so much?"

"You don't seem ordinary to me at all. Are all the Jiang family's spies as refined as you?"

"Go on, tell me everything you know about the Jiang family, the more detailed the better!"

"Some of it I heard from others, and some I thought of myself." Cai Qingyi was a little embarrassed by the teasing. "You seem particularly interested in the Jiang family's affairs?"

"Okay, I shouldn't have asked."

"The Jiang family has too many things to worry about. They only fear the forces they can't afford to offend; when it comes to the government, they wouldn't dare touch them!"

"Especially someone like Han Beichen, who has no leverage over him, no relatives or friends, and often doesn't follow the rules."

"What you're saying doesn't seem quite right!" Qin Ge said dismissively. "Am I not a member of the Shadow Martial Arts Hall?"

"Or do you not consider Shadow Martial Arts Hall to be an official organization?"

"If neither of those are true, then why do you dare to provoke me? The Jiang family may fear Han Beichen, but they aren't afraid of me?"

"I don't know about that." Cai Qingyi had thought about this question. "I also find it strange, but I can only keep my doubts to myself."

"Once a task is assigned to me, I have to carry it out; I have no right to question it."

"That's about all I know..."

She suddenly remembered something, "Oh right, among the people who have been following you, one group is from the Min family!"

"The Min family?" Qin Ge wasn't surprised at all. When he shook off the followers, he guessed that there might be people sent by the Min family among them.

"If that's the case, then the Min family sent people to monitor me themselves, so it couldn't be them who paid the Jiang family to buy information about me?"

"Then the Zheng family is the prime suspect!"

"Were any members of the Zheng family among those people?"

Cai Qingyi shook her head. "I can't be sure."

"Never mind, we'll figure it out sooner or later." Qin Ge originally thought the Zheng family was unlikely to be involved. No matter how much Zheng Shaoqing hated him, it was ultimately just a personal grudge between the two of them.

It hasn't escalated to a conflict between him and the entire Zheng family yet, not to mention that he still holds Zheng Shaoqing's secrets!

It seems more likely that the Min family is the cause of the conflict. After all, the two eldest sons of the Min family have been defeated by him one after another, which is a deep-seated grudge. The Min family will not let this go easily!

......

At four o'clock in the afternoon, Qin Ge and his group arrived at Cai Qingyi's house in Yuncheng.

"A woman in blue?!"

"How come you have time to come back? Who are they... why didn't you tell us beforehand that you brought friends back?"

Cai Qingyi has a small family: her parents and a fifteen-year-old brother.

"Dad, Mom, Qingshu, time is of the essence. I'll explain later. Now, pack your things and come with me. Just a quick pack is fine, the sooner the better!"

"Where to?"

"Northern Capital!"

Qin Ge greeted the Cai family with a smile, "It's alright, you can take your time packing, there's no need to rush."

"If it's convenient, could you please get us some food first?"

After meeting Cai Qingyi's family, Qin Ge finally truly believed in her.

Family is Cai Qingyi's weakness, and the fact that she was willing to bring Qin Ge home is enough to prove her sincerity.

She had no choice but to trust Qin Ge.

Around 5 a.m., the group set off again from Yuncheng to Beidu.

Around six o'clock, following Qin Ge's instructions, Cai Qingyi gave the Jiang family a final report on Qin Ge's situation, saying that Qin Ge had arrived in Beidu.

The Jiang family was quickly dumbfounded.

They wanted to check on Qin Ge's situation with Cai Qingyi and then summarize the information to report back to the buyers, but they found that they couldn't contact Cai Qingyi!

Then they sent people to find the coordinates reported by Cai Qingyi, but naturally they didn't find Qin Ge at all.

The Jiang family was furious and sent a large number of people to search for Qin Ge and Cai Qingyi in Beidu. At the same time, they sent people from Yuncheng to the Cai family to try to take control of the Cai family members first.

When those people arrived at the Cai family's residence, they naturally didn't see a single person.

Upon receiving the report from Yuncheng, the Jiang family was in chaos. Cai Qingyi's disappearance was not due to an accident; it was clearly premeditated!

Now they were in a real bind. It wasn't just a matter of Cai Qingyi's disappearance anymore; now that there was something wrong with her, all the information she had reported about Qin Ge might be inaccurate!

Just when it seemed the deal would be completed once Qin Ge arrived in Beidu, he disappeared at the last moment, along with his own spies!
