That night, in the meeting hall of the Tang Family Fortress.
Tang Dianshan, Tang Luyi, and a few other core elders of the Tang Sect, including Cai Ning, were all sitting there with stiff expressions on their faces.
Yang Cheng sat in a mahogany chair with his legs crossed. He held a bottle of Tang Sect wine in one hand and took a sip from it from time to time. He held his phone in the other and called Lin Ruoxi, who was far away in Zhonghai.
"Honey, I heard from Molin that you wanted to be a heroine today, but you were saved by a little girl? As expected of the talented girl who failed the physical education class in her school days. This plot contrast can be made into a comedy, hehe … "Yang Cheng laughed heartily.
After leaving the Tower of Scrolls, Yang Cheng gave Molin a call and asked about the women in Zhonghai. Other than Lin Ruoxi, everyone else was fine.
After listening to Molin's description, Yang Cheng more or less knew who the little girl was. He had noticed her before, but he hadn't expected her to be so strange …
A four-year-old super strong man? Yang Cheng was very interested in meeting them. Of course, there was also the mysterious expert that he had sensed before …
However, in order to let Lin Ruoxi relax, Yang Cheng didn't want to make things serious, so he joked with Lin Ruoxi.
Lin Ruoxi gritted her teeth on the other end of the phone. "If there's nothing else, I'll hang up."
Yang Cheng hurriedly said, "Don't. Don't tell me you don't miss me when I've been away for four days? Come, give me a kiss on the phone …"
Before Yang Cheng could finish his words, the phone had already hung up.
Yang Cheng helplessly shoved his phone back into his pocket and said to Tang Dianshan and the others, "Alright, I'm done. What did you guys want to say to me?"
Tang Dianshan chuckled dryly. "Actually, it's not us. It's the head of the Li family in Yan Jin, Li Moshen. He contacted us after learning that Childe Yang is at the Tang Sect. He hopes that we can talk when we're together. It seems like there's something urgent to discuss."
"Li Moshen?" Yang Cheng was puzzled. He didn't have any dealings with that guy. If he wanted to contact him, it should be his grandson.
"Lord Lee is aware of your presence in the Tower of Scrolls. Fearing that he might disturb your cultivation, he contacted my brother first. Once you're able to speak to him, we'll ask for your opinion," Tang Luyi explained.
Yang Cheng thought about it and vaguely guessed, "Since that's the case, let's contact them."
Although the Tang Family Fortress looked antique, it had a lot of modern facilities.
In the meeting hall, there was a video communication device. Tang Dianshan personally dialed Li Moshen's number.
Perhaps it was because the other side needed to turn on the equipment. After waiting for three minutes, the screen finally appeared.
To everyone's surprise, besides Li Moshen, Cai Yuncheng of the Cai family was also sitting there, smiling at Yang Cheng and Cai Ning through the video call.
Cai Ning was slightly surprised. She exchanged glances with Yang Chen, confused.
The spirited old man put on a suit jacket and casually sat on the office chair. He said to the people in the meeting hall in a friendly tone, "I didn't expect to receive a reply so quickly. Thank you, everyone from the Tang Family Fort."
Tang Dianshan and the rest exchanged a few polite words. They were people who had broken away from the system and were not overly concerned with the illustrious reputation of the Four Great Clans.
Li Moshen looked at Yang Cheng and chuckled. "We've never talked before, but your grandfather has often mentioned you. Yang Cheng, I heard that you entered the Tower of Scrolls in search of martial arts manuals. Did you find any treasures?"
"I wouldn't tell you even if I did." Yang Cheng replied blandly.
Li Moshen was at a loss for words. He smiled bitterly and said, "No wonder you can hang out with my Li Dun. You're equally disrespectful. No matter what, I'm still your elder. You should at least give me some face. "
Yang Cheng rolled his eyes. "You don't have a granddaughter to give to me. What's there to be polite about? Isn't that right, father-in-law? Hehe … "
As he spoke, Yang Chen immediately smiled at Cai Yuncheng to please him.
Instantly, the faces of the Tang Clan in the meeting room stiffened. Cai Ning blushed and tugged at Yang Cheng's arm, hinting him not to talk nonsense.
Cai Yuncheng looked at Li Moshen's dazed expression and coughed to clear his head. "Yang Chen, the reason why I'm looking for you today is because something happened in Beijing recently. I need to talk to you about it. After all, you're one of the people involved in it."
"Father-in-law, please go ahead," Yang Chen said in a serious tone, looking like he was asking for guidance.
This contrast made half of Li Moshen's face darken.
Cai Ning found it funny but felt that it was inappropriate to laugh out loud. She could only force herself to keep it together.
Even though Cai Yuncheng felt awkward, he didn't waste any more time and immediately summarized what he wanted to say.
It turned out that it all started from the poisoning case of the Tang Clan.
The poisoning of Tang Zhechen and Tang Wan had been investigated by the Security Bureau. However, the person who poisoned them didn't reveal anything. Therefore, they could only analyze the poison itself.
According to the information that Jane left behind before she left Hua Xia, the Security Bureau determined that the number of people in Hua Xia who could produce this poison could be counted on one hand. The most likely suspect was Yan Buwen from the Yan Clan!
The question was, who was Yan Buwen? He was the most popular genius scientist in Hua Xia in recent years. He had made outstanding contributions to biochemical research and weapons development.
As the idol of many researchers in Hua Xia and the eldest grandson of the rising Yan Clan, Yan Buwen wasn't easy to investigate.
Moreover, due to the nature of Yan Buwen's work, it wasn't convenient for the Security Bureau to investigate his workplace and work information. This was because it was related to the confidential secrets of the military.
Even though the Security Bureau and the military had a close relationship, the Security Bureau still served the government. The military was the protection of the weapons developer, Yan Buwen.
Therefore, the investigation of Yan Buwen had been slow to make progress. This was also the main reason why the poisoning case of the Tang Clan hadn't been solved.
Originally, this was an independent case. However, the "death" of Luo Cuishan made Yan Buwen even more suspicious!
"As you know, Ning Er was responsible for investigating the cause of Luo Cuishan's death. I won't hide it from you. Actually, we used special channels to test the DNA of the burned corpse. After comparing it with some hair that fell in the room from Luo Cuishan, we found that it wasn't Luo Cuishan herself! "
Hearing this news, Yang Cheng's eyes narrowed and he frowned.
Cai Ning was stunned. "Dad, are you saying that the test results really prove that Luo Cuishan is not dead?"
Before she left, she only handed over the evidence to the Yellow Flame Iron Brigade. She didn't know what happened after that.
Cai Yuncheng said in a low voice, "We can't confirm whether she's dead or not. At least, we can conclude that Luo Cuishan didn't die of sudden cardiac death like what the Ning family announced. As for why this happened … I think you, Yang Cheng, should have a better idea than us. "
Yang Cheng wasn't in the mood to joke. If Luo Cuishan was dead, then it wouldn't matter. However, if she wasn't dead, with her hatred for him and Lin Ruoxi, who knew what she would do.
"Since you know what happened to her is related to me, then don't hide it for me. Just say it," Yang Cheng said.
Cai Yuncheng nodded and continued, "According to what we know, there are two possibilities for Luo Cuishan's death. First, it was because she couldn't stand your punishment and committed suicide. However, the Ning Family wanted to find a way to deceive people and give her a better name before she died. That's why they did it. Second … Luo Cuishan didn't want to die, but she had to die. Moreover … the Ning family might want her dead … "
"How is that possible …" Cai Ning was shocked. "Then wouldn't it be … Premier Ning?"
"There's nothing strange about that," Li Moshen continued, "That kid, Ning Guangyao, was able to control the government for so many years and take the position of Premier before he was fifty. If he wasn't ruthless, he definitely wouldn't be able to do it. Back then, when he was in his thirties and was the provincial secretary in the southwest, he was decisive in killing those disobedient local officials. He was in power for three years and killed at least a hundred people, many of whom were local tyrants with prestige. If it wasn't for that boldness that intimidated the other competitors and made the old guys retreat, he wouldn't have had the chance to enter the center so early. "
After all, he was also the head of the Four Great Families and Ning Guangyao's elder. When Li Moshen talked about one of the highest authorities in Hua Xia, he didn't have the slightest fear. Instead, he talked about it as casually as if he was talking about a child.
When the people from the Tang Sect heard this, although they didn't have much of a reaction, they knew that this was Hua Xia's highest secret. Thinking about it, he must have wanted them to say something in the end, so they all had different expressions on their faces.
Cai Yuncheng said, "However, whether or not Luo Cuishan was killed by Ning Guangyao isn't a big deal. Ning Guangyao did this to protect the reputation of the Ning family and the image of the government in the hearts of the people … After all, with Luo Cuishan's character and experience, she doesn't deserve to be the Premier's wife anymore … The point is …"
"Where is her corpse?" Yang Cheng's eyes lit up and he said, "Even if Ning Guangyao wanted to kill Luo Cuishan, there was no need to replace the corpse and cremate it. If the corpse was useless, then no one would remove the bag … You guys suspect that … Yan Buwen took her corpse!?"
