Why did the world, especially the Huaxia people, chase after power? Because power was indeed a good thing!
The things that ordinary people worked hard for their whole lives to pursue were just a matter of a nod or a word to those in high positions of power!
A single decision in their hearts was enough to change the fate of many people. Life and death were all in their hands. That was power!
Li Yifeng was just the secretary of the municipal party committee. He wasn't a high-ranking official yet, but he could save Ling Yun tens of millions just by nodding his head!
Gou Liancheng was rich, right? Wasn't he awesome? Li Yifeng could control him with one sentence. Green Dragon was arrogant, right? Impressive, right? Li Yifeng could immobilize them with just one finger; Qingyun Movies was showing off, wasn't it? Their background was deep, right? Li Yifeng could make Qingyun Movies disappear just by nodding his head!
Tang Tianhao had come to Li Yifeng's place today to find out more. Now that Li Yifeng had revealed everything to him, he naturally nodded his head.
Before leaving, Tang Tianhao said mysteriously to Li Yifeng, "Brother Li, let me tell you, Ling Yun isn't an ordinary person. If I'm not wrong, he belongs to those people …"
Li Yifeng knew what kind of people Tang Tianhao was talking about. He nodded his head slightly.
"Before I leave, there are two things I must tell you." Tang Tianhao continued.
"Just say it." Li Yifeng smiled.
"Brother Li, yesterday afternoon, two groups of people came to Qingshui City's Public Security Bureau and asked for all of Ling Yun's identity information." Tang Tianhao said solemnly.
Li Yifeng immediately asked, "Two waves of people? Who are they? "
Li Yifeng asked. Tang Tianhao whispered into Li Yifeng's ear, "One group is a group of people carrying out secret missions for the country. These people don't have names, only codenames. But when I was in the special forces, I saw such people once. That's why I knew when they showed their IDs."
Li Yifeng nodded slightly and asked, "What about the other group?"
Tang Tianhao whispered even more carefully. "The other group is from the Huaxia Mutant Organization. They didn't say anything when they came, but they took away all of Ling Yun's files."
Li Yifeng's narrowed eyes flashed with understanding. Then, he asked, "What about the other matter?"
Even though Tang Tianhao was in Li Yifeng's office, he still looked around carefully and whispered, "If I'm not wrong, there might be people from an international assassin organization who want to kill Ling Yun!"
Li Yifeng frowned slightly. He lowered his voice and asked Tang Tianhao, "How did you know?"
Tang Tianhao smiled confidently and said, "Brother Li, have you forgotten what I do? Over the past few days, my men have noticed that a lot of unidentified people have suddenly appeared in Qingshui City. Most of them have appeared around Ling Yun's house and near Qingshui High. On Monday afternoon, they even caused a car accident at the entrance of Qingshui High. They wanted to kill Ling Yun with their car and it was captured by the crossroad's surveillance camera! "
Li Yifeng couldn't help but be shocked as he heard this. "So blatant? How did Ling Yun handle it? "
Tang Tianhao smiled and said, "I saw it from the video. Just when the car was about to hit Ling Yun, Ling Yun hugged Miracle Doctor Xue's granddaughter and dodged it. He didn't hit him at all!"
After saying that, Tang Tianhao was a little puzzled and said, "But since yesterday, those mysterious people seemed to have disappeared into thin air. I can't see them anymore …"
Li Yifeng nodded and said, "It seems like the trouble caused by Ling Yun is bigger than what we saw!"
Tang Tianhao nodded and said, "That's right. So, I want to ask you, should we intervene in this matter?"
Li Yifeng pondered for a while and waved his hand. "We will naturally do our best to help Ling Yun if it's a competition of power, even if it's a competition of money. But if it's the matter that you mentioned, we can't help even if we want to. I think we should just close one eye and let Ling Yun handle it himself. I believe he has the ability to solve these matters."
The country's mysterious department? Mutant Organization? International Assassin Organization? These people had almost nothing to do with power. To ordinary people, they were existences that they wouldn't be able to come into contact with in their lifetime. All of them were incomparably mysterious. Even if Li Yifeng and Tang Tianhao wanted to intervene, they wouldn't be able to do so.
How could they intervene if they couldn't even touch their shadows? This was simply a game between those people. This was a place where power couldn't reach.
Finally, Li Yifeng said to Tang Tianhao, "Go back and make arrangements. Do what we have to do. As for the rest, let's see how things develop!"
After Tang Tianhao finished reporting the work that he had to report, he laughed and said, "Then I'll take my leave, my Secretary Li?"
Li Yifeng saw that Tang Tianhao was starting to speak in a bureaucratic manner. He shook his head and smiled helplessly. He waved his hand and said, "Let's go."
After Tang Tianhao left, Li Yifeng walked to the office window with his hands behind his back. After thinking for a while, he said faintly, "This Ling Yun really isn't simple!"
…
Three-thirty in the afternoon, Qingshui Lake, Dragon Mountain's Tiger Cliff.
The Earth-rank assassin from the Assassins Organization, Deepa, was currently wandering around Tiger Cliff like an ordinary tourist, pretending to appreciate the scenery of the lake and the mountains.
However, his eyes were constantly scanning the ground, obviously looking for something.
As an Earth-rank assassin from the Assassins Organization, Deepa had a small status in the Assassins Organization's Huaxia branch. Originally, he came to Qingshui City to secretly observe the situation of Xuan Qi, Xuan Jiu, and the others. It was similar to a business manager checking on the sales of his own salesperson.
However, he lost contact with Xuan Qi, Xuan Jiu, Li Yi, Jiao Fei, and the four snipers in a single night.
The special communication devices that these people carried were all turned off.
Due to the sensitivity of an assassin, Deepa knew without thinking that Xuan Qi and the others had definitely failed their mission. After failing their mission, there was only one outcome for them. They could either escape or die. There was no other way out.
As an Earth-rank expert at Houtian Realm Level Six, Deepa naturally had his own tracking method. Therefore, he followed the clues left by Xuan Qi and the others all the way to Dragon Mountain's Tiger Cliff.
Very quickly, he saw a few pools of blood on Tiger Cliff. It was left behind by Xuan Qi and Xuan Jiu after they were injured.
"There isn't much blood, so not all of them are dead. Looks like they all escaped after failing their mission."
Deepa analyzed silently in his heart.
"Fifty million yuan made our Assassins Organization lose eight assassins, two Xuan and two Huang. Ling Yun, if I don't kill you, the Assassins Organization's Huaxia branch will close down."
Deepa did not care about the whereabouts of Xuan Qi, Xuan Jiu, and the others. The Assassins Organization had a department that specialized in dealing with assassins who failed their missions.
"Is that the famous crater in Qingshui City?"
In Deepa's eyes, Ling Yun was already a dead man. Therefore, Deepa did not think about the matter of a dead man. Instead, he truly enjoyed the scenery of Tiger Cliff.
Over the past few days, the number of tourists visiting Qingshui Lake had increased by a few times. Most of these tourists were here to see the crater. Whether it was Dragon Mountain or Nancui Peak, they were all densely packed with people, rubbing shoulders with each other and walking in an endless stream.
Now, the huge crater had been surrounded by Qingshui City's staff with a cordon to prevent tourists from entering.
However, even so, there were still many tourists standing outside the cordon around the sinkhole. They used their mobile phones or cameras to take photos of the huge sinkhole. Their faces were filled with excitement and shock.
In the valley between Dragon Mountain and Nancui Peak, outside the cordon of the crater, there were three people dressed in special attire. Deepa saw all of them.
Actually, there was nothing special about their attire. The three of them were just a monk, a Taoist priest, and a female Taoist nun.
In the crowded Qingshui Lake, monks and Taoist priests were common. Therefore, the tourists were not surprised at all. Some even avoided them warily, afraid that they would try to scam them.
However, Deepa, who had reached Houtian Realm Level Six, did not think so.
"Three experts. Their cultivation levels are all higher than mine!" Deepa mumbled to himself as he sized up the monk and the two Taoist priests.
"Why are these people here? Is this sinkhole really that extraordinary? "Deepa thought to himself as he looked at the three experts standing together from afar.
After I kill Ling Yun tonight, I'll go down and investigate! Deepa made up his mind.
At this moment, on the opposite side of Dragon Mountain, on the top of Nancui Peak, there was also a handsome and suave young man. He was dressed in a coquettish black robe, as if he was filming an ancient movie. He did not care about the strange gazes thrown at him by the people around him. His eyes were like lightning as he stared at the huge sinkhole in the valley, as well as the monk and two Taoists outside the sinkhole's cordon.
"Damn it, Grandpa said that the Emperor Brush and the Earth Emperor's Book are going to appear in Qingshui City. Could it be true? If I, Du Gumo, can't get the Emperor Brush, the Earth Emperor's Book should be mine, right? "
Du Gumo looked like he was eighteen or nineteen years old. He was wearing a dark green robe that did not fit in with modern society. Actually, the robe was originally white, but because he had not washed it for many years, it had turned dark green.
The young man's eyebrows were like swords, his eyes were like bright stars, his nose was sharp, and his lips were sharp as if they were carved by a knife. His lips were red, and his teeth were white. He even had shoulder-length hair that was twice as long as Tang Meng's. However, he was too lazy to even tie his hair into a bun, allowing the mountain breeze to blow his hair freely. He was 1.79 meters tall, and even though both of his hands were placed on the protective railing of Nancui Peak, his body was like an upright javelin, or an unsheathed sword. He gave off a strange feeling of sloppiness and sharpness.
"If it's not the birth of the Earth Emperor's Book, then it's fine. But if there really is the Earth Emperor's Book in this crater, the few of you will die if you try to snatch it from me …"
Dugu Mo stared at the monk and the two Daoist priests, and his lips curled into a disdainful smile.
"Yin Yang Dragon Lock Spell? I'm not watching anymore, I'm going back to the hotel to watch some television … "
Dugu Mo, who had been living in the Hengduan Mountains since he was young, had secretly escaped from home after eavesdropping on the Dugu family's secret meeting. He had come to the bustling city. What attracted him the most wasn't the gorgeously dressed urban beauties, but the television!
…
Ling Yun spent the entire afternoon studying English in the classroom. He had already memorized all the English words in high school. He had even finished reading more than half of the high school English textbook. He had a photographic memory and was extremely familiar with everything he read.
If Ling Yun was given an English college entrance exam with a full score of 150, he was confident that he could score more than 120.
After school, Ling Yun left the classroom under Cao Shanshan's gentle gaze. He found Ning Lingyu and Xue Meining and brought them to the second floor of the school's cafeteria. (To be continued.)
