Chapter 1129: Chapter 1128: There’s Actually Such a Setting? (2nd Update)
After Chen Yushan’s injuries healed, she took only one day’s rest before returning to work. This ti, Long Xiaotian wanted to thoroughly investigate the Liu Family, and she was the first to be contacted.
After searching the Liu Family for a long ti, they finally found a few top-secret docunts that detailed the entire process of Hellfire’s persecution of the Long Group.
Whether it was Ye Haochuan or the siblings Long Xiaotian and Long Piaoying, they were all shocked upon hearing this information.
“Found so easily…?” Long Xiaotian accepted the docunts incredulously and grew increasingly solemn as he read.
“What the heck, is Liu Cangsong an idiot? He actually kept these things, doesn’t he want to live long?” Ye Haochuan was also puzzled.
He had never thought that the Liu Family would really find any evidence. After all, the event had passed for several months; why would the Liu Family still keep such dangerous things?
But the reality was that they had indeed found them, and there were Liu Cangsong’s fingerprints and signature on them.
“No, this is intentionally ant to mislead us!” Long Xiaotian said solemnly.
“Doesn’t make sense, even if he wrote it like this, we couldn’t possibly believe the Liu Family were the masterminds; it serves no purpose at all!” Long Piaoying questioned doubtfully.
“Of course, it serves a purpose!” Long Xiaotian’s face turned grim, his gaze icy as he looked outside the door.
The next mont, a tall figure appeared there.
“Brother Long, I heard that the Liu Family might be involved with the tragedy of the Long Group. I ca at the first mont. This ti you can’t say I don’t care about the Long Group’s business!” The newcor said with a gleam of a smile.
“Gu Shun, you arrived just in ti!” Long Xiaotian said coldly.
“Who is this guy?” Ye Haochuan asked with confusion, whispering to Long Piaoying beside him.
Long Piaoying looked at Gu Shun with obvious displeasure, unabashedly saying, “He’s the Chief Inspector of the Inspection Group, responsible for investigating the tragedy of the Long Group!”
It was evident that both Long Xiaotian and Long Piaoying were quite unhappy with Gu Shun. It was understandable, as this Chief Inspector had been investigating for several months without progress; naturally, the siblings of the Long Group felt vexed with him.
Gu Shun seed entirely unaffected by Long Xiaotian’s hostility, still smiling as he spoke, “A case investigation indeed wouldn’t miss any chance to find clues! By the way, have you found any leads?”
Long Xiaotian didn’t reply, rely looking at him coldly.
“Could it be this?” Gu Shun laughed awkwardly, “surprised” to see the docunts in Ye Haochuan’s hands, and grabbed them.
Pretentiously going through them, Gu Shun looked “furiously” and said, “The Liu Family is outrageous, to conspire with Hellfire early on and even help Hellfire persecute the Long Group! It’s simply unforgivable!”
“Brother Long, rest assured, I will surely report this matter truthfully, thoroughly investigate the Liu Family, and give Brother Long a satisfactory answer.”
Long Xiaotian said coldly, “No trouble for Inspector Gu, I’ll handle this matter myself!”
“Brother Long, what are you saying? Investigating the tragedy of the Long Group is precisely my responsibility. Brother Long has many matters in the Heavenly Gate, how could I let you do these trivial things?”
Gu Shun wore a hypocritical smile, but his words were warning Long Xiaotian not to overstep.
With that said, he slightly bowed to Long Xiaotian and directly turned to leave.
Outside, the Inspection Group mbers, including Chen Yushan, were all his direct subordinates. Once he arrived, all Inspection Group mbers followed his orders, naturally taking charge of the entire scene.
Long Xiaotian’s face was gloomy. He had requested a change in the investigator more than once, but it was never approved, instead assud to be anxiously manifesting due to grief over the loss of his child.
Afterwards, when ntioning this matter, the higher-ups would quickly evade. Initially, he didn’t understand why, but now it seed the Xuann higher-ups were clearly causing trouble.
“Is he just here to ss things up?” Ye Haochuan muttered irritably, anyone could see the guy was muddying the waters, “Would he actually want to favor the Liu Family?”
“No!” Long Xiaotian shook his head, “They’ve decided to sacrifice the Liu Family this ti, so not only won’t they favor them, but they’ll investigate thoroughly!”
Ye Haochuan listened with confusion, asking, “Doesn’t make sense, why would such a large family like the Liu Family be entirely abandoned just because of a small issue? It’s not normal!”
“Persecuting allies is a major cri. As the Alliance Hierarch of the Supre Alliance, with this headline, attention will be extraordinarily high. So even without the Long Group’s matter, the Liu Family would definitely be suppressed. A suppressed Liu Family is useless to those people!”
Long Xiaotian snorted coldly, “You may see the Liu Family as a large clan in the Mortal World, but in the eyes of real bigwigs, they are nothing.”
“So, those things earlier were deliberately set up to let the Liu Family take the bla?” Ye Haochuan seed to understand.
“Yes! As the Liu Family is destined to be suppressed, they might as well wrap up the Long Group’s matter too. This way, in the future, it’ll be much harder to seek help from higher-ups for Long Group investigations!” Long Xiaotian’s eyes were filled with hatred.
Ye Haochuan finally understood that as long as the Long Group’s matter remained unsolved, Long Xiaotian could use it as a pretext for investigations and possibly gain so necessary assistance.
But as soon as the case was settled, neither the Inspection Group nor the Xuann higher-ups would agree to waste resources on this matter anymore. Future investigations would rest entirely on Long Xiaotian’s resources.
“Haven’t we always been investigating independently? What difference does it make without their help?” Ye Haochuan pouted.
“You don’t understand!” Long Xiaotian sighed, “Investigating small figures is one thing, but once it involves big figures, private investigations are a major cri!”
Holy smoke, there’s actually such a setup?
Ye Haochuan was speechless.
But thinking it through, it made sense. If big figures casually investigated each other, it would definitely create rifts. Without proper reasons, Xuann would absolutely not allow it.
“What are we waiting for, let’s hurry and stop that Gu Shun guy!”
“It’s useless; with his status, we can’t stop him unless we directly kill him!”
Ye Haochuan thought about it and agreed, if it were ordinary cultivators, they could just kill quietly. But this person is a high officer in the Inspection Group, killing him would surely result in dire consequences.
“What’s the big deal, those people aren’t serious about investigating anyway. We just need to be careful and continue as we always have. Once we find out which high-up is involved, we’ll deal with it then!” Ye Haochuan said nonchalantly.
“That’s all we can do!”
Long Xiaotian and Long Piaoying returned in disappointnt. Investigating the Liu Family was the Inspection Group’s job, and with Gu Shun there, they had little use staying.
As for Chen Yushan, since she was part of the Inspection Group, she had to continue investigating at the Liu Family.
Ye Haochuan had little recourse for this situation, only instructing the Dragon Network to watch silently, and then fully pursuing Liu Chengyu. If Liu Chengyu was captured, perhaps there would be a turning point in this matter.
