Chapter 82: Chapter 81 Coincidence

"An Shirong is dead?"

"Could An Shirong really just die like that?"

Fang Zhenlin and Fang Zhenhai sat in the office of the headquarters building, looking at each other in disbelief at the news.

However, An Shirong had indeed disappeared.

The president’s office in the Divine Shield Mansion had been blasted into ruins by the ship cannon. An Shiping’s DNA was found at the scene. It could be determined that at least four people were killed on the site.

The Fang brothers, who had considerable influence, obtained the video from the scene.

After watching the video, both felt that An Shirong had no chance of surviving.

Even a Tenth-level Expert couldn’t withstand a ship cannon barrage. It was said the other side used an entire ammunition box worth of rounds.

The only issue was that an escape passage was activated. An Shirong might have had a chance to escape.

Of course, based on deductions from the scene, it’s more likely the killer activated the escape passage.

So far, the Law Enforcement Department hasn’t provided a reasonable explanation. There are no leads in the case.

It’s rumored that Zhao Yong suddenly hijacked a law enforcement flying ship and ambushed An Shirong.

Fang Zhenlin and Fang Zhenhai were also baffled. An Shirong was their most important partner and their backer.

And yet, he inexplicably disappeared just like that.

Zhao Yong was their ally, with absolutely no reason to do this. This can only suggest there’s a lot of conspiracy involved.

Fang Zhenlin and Fang Zhenhai were extremely uneasy. If even someone as powerful as An Shirong could be taken down so easily, what about them?

They almost certainly concluded that this was the work of Wei Yue.

The sequence of events was quite clear: Wei Yue first killed Zhao Feng, then Fang Zhenshan, and then Yan Tiejun.

When An Shirong appeared, Wei Yue immediately took action and killed An Shirong without hesitation.

Even though there was no concrete evidence, the sequence of events was overwhelmingly clear.

Besides Wei Yue, there was no one else with such motivation. Nor did anyone else have the capability.

Thinking of Wei Yue made the Fang brothers extremely uneasy.

If Wei Yue decided to act against them, they feared they wouldn’t have many days left.

Yet both sides had already signed a duel contract, so they couldn’t back out even if they wanted to.

There was no choice; Fang Zhenlin and Fang Zhenhai could only turn to the general assembly for help. Hoping the Heartless Sword Bai Yuncheng would hurry to Mingjing City.

It wasn’t just the Fang brothers who were anxious; the entire An Family was in chaos.

An Shirong was the patriarch of the An Family, and he made all the decisions.

For decades, the An Family people had become accustomed to following An Shirong’s orders.

With An Shirong’s sudden disappearance, his life or death unknown, those who had endured under An Shirong’s shadow could no longer hold back.

Moreover, An Shiping was also dead. An Zhi, the most capable fighter in the An Family, was also dead.

With three top experts gone, the pillars collapsed. The original order of the An Family was difficult to maintain.

The An Family’s higher-ups sat together, arguing endlessly. None of them had enough prestige to take charge.

As An Shiping’s most outstanding son, An Hu also attended the meeting. But he was too young and had no foundation in the An Family.

With his father An Shiping confirmed dead, no one cared about his opinion.

An Hu sat for a while, sensing the indifferent and hard attitude around him. This made him very angry.

When his father was alive, everyone praised him as the An Family’s future hope.

Now, everyone looked at him disparagingly, as if he were an unnecessary person.

An Hu endured for over two hours, but with the group making no progress, he couldn’t hold back any longer.

He stood up and slammed the conference table: "Wei Yue did this, and we should settle the score with Wei Yue now!"

The room was aghast.

After a moment of silence, the oldest An Shitong pulled a long face and said, "Children shouldn’t speak nonsense. You should leave now. Behave, and don’t cause trouble. Otherwise, no one can help you."

Others echoed, "What nonsense is a child spouting here? This isn’t a place where you belong."

"Doesn’t understand, the urgent task is to find big brother."

"What if something happens to big brother?"

"Impossible, there’s no blood on the scene..."

The group argued again, unable to determine the life or death of An Shirong, they dared not act recklessly. Everyone’s attention was focused on that issue.

As for avenging Wei Yue, no one wanted to take on such a thankless task.

Why would An Shirong have an accident, isn’t it obvious? With An Shirong taken care of, they wouldn’t foolishly emerge to oppose Wei Yue.

The authorities had not found any evidence up to this point, much less could they prove any connection between the incident and Wei Yue.

Even though the killer’s actions were insane, this had nothing to do with Wei Yue. The authorities couldn’t possibly directly trouble Wei Yue.

```

An Hu was chased out by the crowd, feeling unusually desolate and extremely uncomfortable.

All along, he believed himself to be the prodigy of the An family, destined to lead the family one day. He never imagined that just one accident would completely strip him of power within the An family.

An Hu was very angry, yet didn’t know whom to vent his anger on.

It was at this moment he realized how fragile, how incapable he really was.

Though he hated Wei Yue intensely, he dared not seek revenge on him. He knew very well that rashly going over would only mean death.

Currently, An Hu didn’t have the qualifications to use the An family’s resources.

The storm within the An family raged for three days, and the tons finally confirmed An Shirong’s death.

Everyone’s ambitions erupted uncontrollably, those most capable and esteemed like An Shitong began splitting the An family’s assets.

An Shirong and An Shiping were the direct lineage of this branch of the An family. Especially An Shirong, who had two sons, neither young, but lacked capability.

An Shirong was strong-willed, but his two sons were meek.

However, in terms of equity, most of the An family’s assets were under An Shirong and An Shiping.

This was an astonishingly huge wealth.

An Shitong and others wanted to get it in their hands but it wasn’t easy. Therefore, the An family naturally undertook a purge.

An Hu knew nothing of all this.

When he was taken by a group of bodyguards to the Celestial Water Riverfront, An Hu realized something was wrong.

But before he could react, the bodyguards swarmed over, four of them firmly controlling him. One bodyguard slowly applied pressure to his neck.

The bodyguard whispered in An Hu’s ear, "Sorry Ninth Young Master, this is the order from above, no personal grudges involved."

An Hu’s struggles grew weaker until his pupils dilated and he stopped breathing.

Until his death, he still couldn’t understand why his own people would kill him.

After dealing with An Hu, the bodyguard mounted two micro bombs on him, then threw An Hu into the Celestial Water River.

An Hu’s body floated not far along the Celestial Water River before the bomb exploded, blasting the body into pieces, swept away by the turbulent river, leaving no trace.

After a few days of turbulence, An Shitong became the patriarch.

On the first day as patriarch, An Shitong personally visited Wei Yue, expressing his sincere intent to get along.

An Shitong brought a procurement contract worth two billion to the Yuanlong Group and prepaid fifty billion. The contract terms were exceptionally favorable.

Wei Yue accepted it gladly.

An Shitong left the Yuanlong Headquarters Tower with a delighted smile on his face.

He was indifferent to how An Shirong died; he just didn’t want to die a wrongful death like An Shirong.

For now, he had to show a submissive attitude to Wei Yue. Once he solidified his grip on power within the An family, he’d find a way to deal with Wei Yue.

The change in the An family’s attitude made many upper echelon elite reevaluate Wei Yue.

The law enforcement department hadn’t found clues or knew where the killer came from.

However, the process of the case was roughly figured out.

The assailant openly hijacked the law enforcement flying ship, using its ship cannon to attack the Divine Shield Mansion. The precision and brutality of the method were terrifyingly audacious.

It even had an indescribable courage and boldness that commanded respect.

Wei Yue transformed from a smart, capable female CEO into a fierce and dominant woman!

The Skywalker Gene Potion hadn’t been released yet, and the Yuanlong Group’s market value hadn’t changed much.

But in Mingjing City, Wei Yue undeniably stepped into the top tier, becoming a prominent figure.

Of course, Wei Yue’s reputation was still nominal. Only when she won the duel with Fanglian Group, and the Skywalker Gene Potion was successfully promoted, could she solidify her foundation. To become an influential magnate.

Many people were eagerly awaiting this.

Before that, no one was willing to challenge Wei Yue’s authority.

Just like the few allies of the Wei Family were particularly cooperative.

Xu Yin was particularly touched by this, as yesterday when she returned home, Xu An broke Xu Feng’s leg right in front of her. Also, he angrily scolded Liu Yuru.

Xu Yin was very surprised. She didn’t understand what Xu An was doing.

Xu An remained calm, "They are too ignorant, so I taught them a lesson. Little Yin, we are all family, give me some face, let’s put the Gao Xuan matter to rest..."

Xu Yin then realized that Wei Yue was now in her prime; even the always arrogant Xu An had to express his apology in such a rather intense way.

Xu Yin didn’t quite understand how within just a few days, Wei Yue became so powerful!

Was it just because An Shirong was killed?

Xu Yin was a bit confused about Mingjing City.

For some reason, Xu Yin couldn’t help but think of Gao Xuan’s perpetually closed yet incredibly handsome face.

Considering the timeline, it seemed that since Gao Xuan and Yun Qingshang arrived in Mingjing City, the city had been undergoing drastic changes daily.

It truly was a strange coincidence...
