Urban Invincible Mad Immortal
Chapter 43 The Truth About Treason
Upon hearing Lin Fan's words, both Long Tiangang and Wang Badao's expressions changed.
Wang Badao forced a smile and said, "Lin Fan, where did you hear that? It's definitely a rumor, you absolutely can't believe it!"
"Really? You mean the Shence Army would lie to me too? My father's men would blatantly lie? If that's what you mean, I'll call him over right now and have him confront you face to face!"
After Lin Fan put it this way, Wang Badao lost all confidence to continue.
Long Tiangang sighed and said, "Old Wang, if you can't lie, then don't. Even a fool could tell you're lying."
When Wang Badao heard this, he was completely horrified!
"Long Tiangang, how dare you say such a thing? If you hadn't insisted on keeping it from this kid, would I have needed to lie?"
Lin Fan, to be honest, it was Lao Long who insisted on keeping it from you. In my opinion, he should have made it clear to you. It's your business what to do!
I don't want to be the bad guy and make you blame me for keeping it from you. That wouldn't make any sense!
Wang Badao already had a bad temper, and now he suddenly exploded.
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Uncle Wang, please don't get too excited. I didn't mean to blame you, and of course, I didn't blame Uncle Long either. At most, I feel a little uncomfortable."
Think about it, I'm not a three-year-old anymore, why are you hiding such an important thing from me?
Do you really think I'm so fragile that I'm incapable of shouldering the responsibility of clearing the Lin family's name?
Long Tiangang gave a wry smile and said, "You guessed right, I really did have that in mind. The Lin family has suffered such a calamity, the pressure you're under is immense!"
I really didn't want to add any more pressure to you, so I didn't tell you these things.
"But the information I received is that our Lin family is only one month away from being convicted! Uncle Long, I want to know, how far have you gotten in your investigation? Don't tell me you haven't found anything yet."
Before Lin Fan could finish speaking, Wang Badao immediately interrupted him domineeringly: "How could that be! Old Long almost lost his life trying to find out the truth! Why do you think Old Long was so badly injured?"
"Old Wang, stop talking!"
"Bullshit! You think I won't tell you? I'll tell you anyway! To find out the truth, Old Dragon went deep into the Western Frontier alone and infiltrated the Demon Clan."
As a result, he was besieged by 12 demon kings and almost lost his life!
Since then, the old dragon's strength has been reduced to less than one-tenth, and the Dragon God Temple has declined as a result.
The higher-ups are even considering disbanding the Dragon God Temple. If it weren't for us old guys sticking together, would you still be so free? You'd be locked up long ago!
Wang Badao's words silenced Lin Fan. He hadn't expected that Long Tiangang would go to such lengths for the Lin family.
The Western Frontier Demon Clan is a major threat to the Great Xia Dynasty. The Demon Clan is inherently bloodthirsty and has brought endless disasters to the people of the Great Xia Dynasty for hundreds of years, committing countless heinous crimes!
The Great Xia wanted to annihilate them, but the Demon Race had many experts who could escape at an extremely fast speed, so there was no chance to wipe them all out.
Simply put, they run away when they're fighting, and come back when they're not fighting.
In the end, the one who suffers the greatest losses is always the Great Xia.
The Demon Kings are among the top fighters in the Demon race. Twelve Demon Kings besieging Long Tiangang alone—what a terrifying treatment that is!
Long Tiangang sighed and said, "Old Wang, why bring up things that are already in the past? It was my fault for being useless. I almost found out the truth, and I ended up getting beaten up like that!"
Lin Fan, in Daxia, all the clues have gone cold, and all the blame points to your Lin family.
In fact, many people know that the Lin family could not possibly have committed treason, but the trouble is that the evidence of treason is laid bare before them.
Long Tiangang glanced at Wang Badao, who immediately understood and hurriedly left. When he returned, he was carrying a large stack of documents and placed them on the table.
Lin Fan picked up a few documents and looked at them, discovering that they contained "evidence" of the Lin family's treason.
"Lin Zongyao colluded with the demon race, selling contraband to them in exchange for huge profits."
"Lin Aotian was seduced by a demoness from the Demon Clan, leaking crucial intelligence and causing heavy losses to the Great Xia Northern Army!"
"Lin Aoyun leaked important files from the Imperial Security Bureau; the evidence is conclusive!"
……
Each document contained serious crimes punishable by death!
Even Lin Fan felt like shooting himself after reading it.
His face was ashen, and he said coldly, "Uncle Long, have all these documents been verified? Are there no problems?"
Long Tiangang closed his eyes, nodded heavily, and said, "That's right, it's all been confirmed, and the chain of evidence is flawless."
Everything was so perfect, there wasn't a single flaw to be found, but...
Long Tiangang suddenly changed the subject, his face serious, and said, "The more perfect something seems, the more suspicious it is! If it were a crime, it would be impossible to be completely flawless, and that in itself is the biggest problem!"
That's why I infiltrated the demon race, hoping to find a breakthrough from them.
I've infiltrated their archives, and I'm just a hair's breadth away from obtaining the crucial files.
Unexpectedly, I fell into an ambush, and all my efforts were in vain!
Long Tiangang slammed his hand on the stone table, and in his excitement, he used his inner energy.
He is currently unable to use his true energy at all.
He felt noticeably uncomfortable after using his internal energy.
Fortunately, Lin Fan was by his side, and after some treatment, he recovered quickly.
Lin Fan looked at him seriously and said, "Uncle Long, I think you've overlooked something else. Your strength at your peak was unfathomable; you were definitely a top-tier fighter in the entire Great Xia Dynasty."
Logically speaking, with your strength, it shouldn't be so easy for you to infiltrate the demon race and gather intelligence.
The only possibility is that someone leaked your whereabouts, leading to you being attacked!
Upon hearing this, Wang Badao couldn't help but burst out laughing.
"Silly boy, do you need to tell me such a simple truth? We already know it! But it's much harder than finding out the truth about your Lin family's treason."
The reason is simple: no one knew that Old Dragon had infiltrated the Demon Clan except him. Otherwise, I would definitely have stopped him from doing such a foolish thing!
Wang Badao's voice rose eight octaves, and after glancing at Long Tiangang, he sighed again.
"However, it is precisely because of this that I forgave his incompetence. At least he fought for your father and your brothers once."
Unlike me, I can't do anything, I'm just a brute who knows how to fight.
Wang Badao gave a self-deprecating laugh, his mood very low.
Lin Fan shook his head and said, "Uncle Wang, you only see the surface. What I'm saying is a different guess."
I have a feeling that the enemy's target from the very beginning wasn't my father, but rather something far more important, like Long Bo, or... the Dragon God Temple!
Lin Fan's words stunned both Long Tiangang and Wang Badao.
Lin Fan continued his analysis: "My father is the deputy hall master of the Dragon God Palace, and his Divine Strategy Army is the main force of the Dragon God Palace."
From the very beginning, the higher-ups tried every means to transfer my four older brothers away, which greatly reduced the strength of the Shence Army.
However, you chose to comply and did not resist, because that was the initial test!
Next, my father and brother died in battle. After their deaths, they were slandered, which led to the disbandment of the Shence Army!
Afterwards, Longbo was severely injured and his strength was greatly reduced, and the Dragon God Temple quickly declined!
Actually, after analyzing this far, you two uncles should know perfectly well that the most likely mastermind is the one who reaps the greatest benefits!
After Lin Fan finished speaking, Long Tiangang and the other man fell silent.
Seeing their expressions, Lin Fan had already concluded that they must have guessed something but were deliberately refusing to say it.
Just then, Long Yuanyuan rushed over from a distance.
"Grandpa, I have something important to report..."
When Long Yuanyuan saw Lin Fan there, she was taken aback and said, "Lin Fan, what are you doing here? Did you come to report that matter? Seriously, if you wanted to tell me in person, why did you call me?"
Lin Fan snapped out of his daze, gave an awkward laugh, and said, "I had forgotten about it until you mentioned it. You should report it; I didn't say anything."
Long Yuanyuan rolled her eyes at Lin Fan and said, "Grandpa, this guy is hiding something from us. He was actually imprisoned by Liu Yunyan and Liu Feifei for the past five years, not sent anywhere else."
Liu Yunyan's goal was his family heirloom, the Nine Yang Dragon Jade, and Liu Yunyan was acting under someone else's orders!
Therefore, the mastermind behind framing the Lin family must have some connection with the people behind Liu Yunyan, or even be the same person or a group of people!
My idea is to wait and see! Since those people have already decided to kill us to cover their tracks, we'll keep an eye on them 24/7. I refuse to believe we can't catch them!
Long Yuanyuan was full of confidence, but Long Tiangang frowned and said, "Are you sure you can stop them when they kill someone? If they really want to kill, even your close protection won't be enough!"
Long Yuanyuan's expression changed: "Then what should we do? Luring them out is the best way, isn't it?"
Wang Badao laughed and said, "Silly girl, you yourself said you were luring the snake out of its hole, do you think others wouldn't guess it? Putting aside everything else, any expert would surely discover the trap."
"But I think everything has a flaw, and what we need now is a flaw, isn't it?"
Lin Fan suddenly spoke, his tone carrying a depth that even young people lacked.
Lin Fan picked up the "chariot" piece on the chessboard and moved it gently across the board.
"Uncle Long, Uncle Wang, as you just said, nothing in this world is perfect, and everything has its flaws."
If it's too perfect, something feels off. It's like a person walking on snow. No matter how strong they are, they can leave no trace. But if I look under a microscope, I can still find their traces!
Let's do as Yuanyuan says. Anyway, I support her!
As Lin Fan finished speaking, he placed the "chariot" card firmly on the opposite "general" card, his eyes burning with intensity.
"I believe that as long as I try hard, I will definitely find some clues; if I stop, I will always be on the defensive!"
I won't repeat the mistakes you've made, it's that simple!
After saying these words, Lin Fan turned and left quickly without saying goodbye to the two elders.
Long Yuanyuan hurriedly chased after him, and only caught up with him at the gate.
"Lin Fan, what did you two talk about just now? Can you tell me?"
"Hey! I'm talking to you! Don't ignore me!"
Lin Fan ignored her completely, and Long Yuanyuan got anxious, ran up to him, and grabbed his arm.
Lin Fan sighed and said, "Stop messing around, okay? I don't have much time left."
"But there's no use in rushing back! If they don't make a move, all we can do is wait and see. What else can we do?"
"Waiting for the rabbit to run into the tree stump is one part, but taking the initiative is another. Think about it, if the other side drags it out for a whole month, wouldn't our Lin family be stuck with being the sucker?"
Lin Fan's tone was somewhat urgent. He had acted very calmly in front of Long Tiangang and the other man, but now he couldn't keep up the act anymore.
"But how do we take the initiative? Should we learn from my grandfather and go to the demon race to find evidence?"
Even my grandfather, who's so strong, was beaten like this. What can you do? Any random demon king could crush you with one hand!
If only my grandfather were in his prime, with his authority, he could at least have delayed the case for a while longer…”
As Long Yuanyuan spoke, Lin Fan's expression suddenly changed, and he stared at Long Yuanyuan with wide eyes.
Long Yuanyuan was startled and said, "Lin Fan, why are you staring at me like that? It's kind of scary, I'm afraid you'll frighten me!"
"As long as we cure Longbo, everything will turn around, right?" Lin Fan said earnestly.
Long Yuanyuan nodded and said, "Yes, isn't this a very simple principle? My grandfather is the backbone of the Dragon God Palace. Once the backbone is restored, won't the Dragon God Palace stand up again?"
You have no idea, our Dragon God Temple was once the number one temple in the Great Xia Dynasty. Later, the War God Temple overtook us. If it weren't for those things, our Dragon God Temple would definitely have been able to reclaim the number one position..."
"There's also the Temple of War God. Sure enough, Uncle Long and Uncle Wang are still deliberately hiding it from me! Heh, they think I'm not qualified to know the whole truth yet. Well then, I'll show you whether I'm qualified or not!"
"Yuanyuan! Just the two of us, let's go now!"
"Where to?"
"Let's go find Medicine King Valley!"
