Chapter 49 (1/2)

Square-faced Fatso did not become the Deputy Chief of the Agency of Special Affairs by chance, and he was certainly no fool. There were many clues that showed this was not a simple matter.

After all, there should not be any connection between the two parties, but as he considered it, all the strange aspects of Luo Kun’s murder began to pop into his head.

Even he could not stop himself from having these doubts.

Although he did not know what kind of grudge Lu Xuan might have against Luo Kun, he was easily killed despite being a cultivator.

Lu Xuan had the ability to do such a thing.

In addition, it would explain why Lu Xuan was so aggravated by Luo Ying’s visit to his family!

Square-faced Fatso sensed that this was no ordinary incident and reported to Chief Yun Sheng almost immediately.

“What are we going to do about this? If a conflict breaks out between Mister Lu and the Luo family, what are we going to do?” Square-faced Fatso reported the whole matter to Yun Sheng.

“Observe the situation for now. We need to see what is going on!”

Yun Sheng also felt extremely troubled.

If Square-faced Fatso’s assumption was correct, he feared that the Luo family would not let this murder go unpunished. Even if Luo Kun’s death were unrelated to Lu Xuan, judging by the way Lu Xuan prioritized his family’s safety, he also would not take this threat lying down.

When that happened, it was inevitable that conflict would break out between the two sides.

Then, placed between the Luo family and Lu Xuan, what would the Agency of Special Affairs do?

“If it comes to choosing between Lu Xuan and the Luo family, you just need to remember one thing,” Yun Sheng advised. “Lu Xuan is the Agency of Special Affairs’ Special Consultant. As for the Luo family, what are they to us?”

“But the Luo family won’t leave it at that, and then they will put pressure on us!” Square-faced Fatso said with a measure of concern.

Yun Sheng’s firm voice boomed over the telephone. “So what if they do? Our Agency of Special Affairs is an institution directly affiliated to the Inner Palace. If they want to apply pressure on us, let’s see if they are capable of doing it!”

“I understand. I will keep a close eye on this matter!” Square-faced Fatso hurriedly replied.

At the same time, while this was happening…

In Xia City, in an enormous standalone villa, a group of people was sitting around in the living room. Each one of these people had a valiant air about them, and all of them were cultivators.

Among them, there sat a woman who was in her twenties, with gorgeous features and an excellent figure.

For the time being, however, her beautiful face bore a frosty expression, which made the valiant cultivators around her tremble in fear, not daring to speak.

Although they were all men, they had clearly suffered under this woman in one way or another. When she was not talking, none of them dared to say a word.

“I didn’t expect my judgment to be wrong!” Luo Ying said through gritted teeth. In her hands, she held a piece of information she had just received.

In the fighting competition at Fu City, two martial arts legends had turned up, when even seeing one was rare.

And, one of the martial arts legends went by the name Lu Xuan.

This was the reason she was so incredibly angry. She had been sent by her family to investigate the cause of Luo Kun’s death.

For a member of the Luo family to die mysteriously while out and about was no small matter. Their previous investigation had gone on for a month with no results, and even putting pressure on the Agency of Special Affairs did not yield any useful information.

Even the surveillance cameras monitoring the villa compound did not record anyone, as the culprit had evaded all the cameras.

It was only then that they sent her to investigate the case personally. After she looked up all the possible suspects with some kind of connection or animosity to the victim, she found that one of them—a man called Lu Xuan—stood out.
