This question was asked very directly, without any preamble or probing; it was simply thrown out in the open.

Yao Weiwu is not the kind of person who likes to beat around the bush.

Since he asked that question, it means he is already quite certain, but he just needs her to confirm it in person.

Six months ago, at Liu Ting's request, Yao Weiwu agreed to provide her with information and whereabouts of key members of the Cromwell family.

For the past six months, nothing had happened, but now this has suddenly occurred, and Yao Weiwu immediately suspected "Liu Ting".

Of course, Yao Weiwu didn't call to interrogate anyone; he just wanted to get to the bottom of things.

If it really was "Liu Ting" who did it, then he should quickly arrange manpower and resources to find a way to cover it up for "Liu Ting," just like America did for the Cromwell family before.

If it wasn't "Liu Ting" who did it, then he could sit back and watch how things unfold, or go to the Ares Palace to find Elliott and tease him, to avenge Elliott's rudeness towards him half a year ago because of Gao Jiyuan.

All of this depends on whether Liu Ting was actually responsible.

Liu Ting's fingers tapped lightly on the table, making a rhythmic tapping sound.

After a few seconds of silence, she spoke, her voice equally calm:

"I killed Ronan."

As for Milo—

She shrugged. "His death has nothing to do with me. I was planning to get back at him, but I didn't have a chance to do it. Believe it or not, this is the truth."

Yao Weiwu did not respond immediately, but Liu Ting could hear a very soft exhale, as if a heavy burden had been lifted.

Then silence fell again on the other end of the phone.

After a long while, Yao Weiwu's voice rang out again, tinged with complex emotions: "Ronan... is he the real culprit behind that experimental accident back then?"

Yao Weiwu wasn't stupid. Since Liu Ting had already started killing people, the fact that she didn't kill Milo, the more important head of the family, immediately, but instead killed Ronan first, already spoke volumes.

"Correct."

Liu Ting's answer was concise and straightforward: "During my trip to America, I took some time to have a friend visit Mr. Ronan."

"My friend is a psychic, skilled in some... illusion techniques."

"After Mr. Ronan fell into a hallucination, my friend asked him a few questions, such as what role he played in the experimental accident six months ago."

“Mr. Ronan was very cooperative and confessed everything.”

"Of course, he deeply regretted his past actions. In order to beg for forgiveness, he suffocated himself to death. He was extremely sincere."

Her tone was relaxed, as if she were talking about something trivial.

But are you serious about suffocating yourself by holding your breath?

Yao Weiwu could tell that beneath Liu Ting's relaxed tone lay a cold and ruthless determination.

Six months ago, Gao Jiyuan died tragically, and all leads were cut off.

Everyone knows it was the Cromwell family who did it, but no one can produce evidence, and no one can lay a hand on the family of a planetary-level senator.

Liu Ting didn't say much at the time, but Yao Weiwu now understands that she never gave up.

She simply kept her anger and murderous intent hidden for six months.

Just when everyone thought the matter was over, she made her move.

A single, fatal blow, utterly swift and decisive.

Upon hearing the explanation, Yao Weiwu was initially relieved, at least Gao Jiyuan's revenge had been achieved, but then he immediately became anxious again.

Ronan's death was indeed caused by Liu Ting. Since she did it, there must have been traces. He had to make arrangements immediately to prevent America from finding Liu Ting.

“Milo…” Yao Weiwu was silent for a moment before pressing, “You just said that you haven’t had a chance to make a move against him yet?”

"Correct."

"Liu Ting" nodded. "My original plan was to kill Ronan first, and then deal with Milo when we went to America next time. Then we would kill them one by one, making the entire Cromwell family live in constant fear."

"Before I could even make a move, he died on his own, wasting my carefully planned scheme, humph!"

Yao Weiwu remained silent.

He suddenly realized that this matter was somewhat tricky.

If only Ronan had died, he could have easily covered up "Liu Ting," since, to be honest, she was just a family heir and not that important at the national level.

But now, Milo is also dead, and the cause of his death coincides with Ronan's death on the same day.

Even a fool would think these two things are related.

The deaths of Milos and Ronan are not the same thing at all.

The former is the invincible war god, the head of the Cromwell family who controls nearly 10% of the global economy.

The latter, aside from his status as Cromwell's designated successor, is merely a warrior-level mentalist.

Milo's death will inevitably require a significant amount of resources in America to investigate.

If the American side launches a full investigation, it's hard to guarantee that it won't lead to Liu Ting's involvement.

After all, she had just been to America;

After all, the whole world knows about her relationship with Gao Jiyuan;

After all, the Cromwell family certainly knew the truth about the experimental accident six months ago, and they also knew that Liu Ting could probably guess it.

She had the motivation, the ability, and the opportunity.

It has all three.

If he were to investigate, she would be the first person he suspects.

“Xiao Liu…” Yao Weiwu’s voice became somewhat heavy, “Listen to me.”

“Milo’s death was too coincidental, it just happened to coincide with the day you killed Ronan. America will definitely think now that these two things were done by the same force or the same person.”

“If Ronan’s side fails to cover it up and America traces it back to you, then Milo’s death will also be attributed to you.”

"Even with your current reputation and status, if this crime were proven true, you would probably suffer a great loss."

"Whether it's the War God Palace, America, or the HR Alliance, they will not allow a dangerous individual who casually assassinates key figures of major families to go unpunished, even if you are the world's number one scientist."

"They will deprive you of your freedom and place you under the supervision of the Ares Palace."

"In that case, your life is over."

Yao Weiwu's tone was extremely serious, carrying an unquestionable warning.

Given Liu Ting's current reputation and global standing, it would be difficult for her to escape punishment if she were convicted of a crime of this magnitude.

In order not to waste her scientific talent, the Ares Palace will not execute her, but will definitely deprive her of her freedom.

The vast majority of planetary-level councilors would make this choice, both to uphold the overall rules of the Ares Palace and to avoid jeopardizing the future of human technology.

Liu Ting listened quietly, then asked softly, "What does Elder Yao mean?"

"If you are really caught, remember, no matter what evidence the other party presents, never admit it, no matter what."

Yao Weiwu's voice was resolute: "As long as you don't admit it, Hanxia has the right to protect you and drag things out until they're forgotten."

"Of course, that's a last resort, a last-ditch effort."

His tone softened slightly. "As for Hanxia, ​​I will personally arrange for someone to clean up the mess for you. You have to trust our country's expertise in this area. The probability of America finding you is less than one in ten thousand."

"Just keep a low profile during this period, don't run around, and don't set off firecrackers to give people something to talk about."

Chapter 275 Planetary Level, No need for you to come, I'll come find you.

After hearing this, Liu Ting was a little conflicted. Yu Qiaoqiao had already gone to make firecrackers to prepare for the celebration, so why couldn't they be set off?

We chatted for a few more minutes, then the call ended.

"Liu Ting" put down the communicator, leaned back in her chair, and stared at the ceiling.

Actually, she didn't care whether America could trace it back to her.

Six months is enough time to change a lot of things.

Six months ago, she was just an invincible war goddess who could barely kill even a king-level monster with five people ganging up on her.

But six months later, she has truly stepped into the threshold of the planetary level and become one of only two planetary-level mentalists on Earth.

All of this is thanks to one person—Gao Jiyuan.

The gift he left behind completely replenished her accumulated power to reach the God of War level, advancing her breakthrough time by an unknown amount of time.

At her level, the resources on Earth that could help her advance were extremely scarce, each one a rare and precious treasure.

However, the original liquid that Gao Jiyuan left behind was actually more effective than a high-grade herbal essence, and it just so happened to work on her.

Without this original liquid to replenish her accumulation at the God of War level, relying solely on absorbing cosmic energy, even with four clones absorbing and sharing the progress to achieve five times the speed, would still be a process that would take years to complete.

Today, she finally avenged Gao Jiyuan, putting an end to a matter on her mind. Her thoughts were clear again, and the mental transformation that had been elusive for the past six months suddenly came to fruition, allowing her to break through to the planetary level in the fighter jet.

She is no longer the insignificant person she used to be, needing to proceed with caution and tread carefully.

She looked down at her palm, her five fingers gently clenched, feeling the vast, boundless power surging within her.

A planetary-level first-tier peak mentalist has a base mental power of 200 million kilograms and a mental power amplitude of 19. When fully unleashed, this power can reach 3.8 million kilograms, or 3800 tons.

This is just the raw numerical value. If we add the advantages that special techniques such as high-speed flight, psychic barriers, mental shocks, dense flying knives, and illusions have on a martial artist, her actual combat power is enough to make her a force to be reckoned with among planetary-level powerhouses.

Six months ago, her psychic power amplitude was only 8. The reason she was able to achieve such a huge improvement in just six months is mainly due to several factors.

Firstly, she has Nie Xiaoqian as her alter ego in the world of A Chinese Ghost Story, who is the Netherworld Emperor and the only righteous god who controls the entire underworld. She has gained a lot by studying the use of spiritual power from the perspective of a god.

Secondly, it was also because she obtained a precious spiritual master's lineage on Earth.

Six months ago, after Gao Jiyuan's memorial service, she sent Yue Lingshan to the No. 9 ancient civilization site to take Hanxia's spot and enter the trial.

I spent two days passing the elite-level death test and learned the "Basic 312 Style" of the Spirit Master Control Master inherited from Meteorite Star.

With this advanced cultivation technique from the universe, coupled with her profound accumulation of knowledge and five times the diligence in her practice, she was able to achieve such a tremendous improvement.

Generally speaking, a peak-level War God Spirit Master's 16x Spirit Power Amplification is numerically equivalent to a Planetary-level Tier 1 Warrior's 4x Power Amplification.

She is not only at the peak of the first level of the planetary level, but her psychic power amplitude has also reached a terrifying level of 19, which is equivalent to 4 times the power amplitude of the third level of the planetary level.

Currently, there are only two planetary-level Tier 3 entities on Earth: the Third Councilor of the War God Palace, the Ice Emperor Mohanderson, and the Fifth Councilor, Atkin.
