Chapter 334: 334 Astonishing Discovery! The Incident Explodes [2 Updates]

After reading a few lines, Madam Zhou immediately came to her senses.

Her lips trembled violently, feeling dizzy.

The next second, her vision went dark, and she indeed fell into a coma.

"Madam!" Steward Zhou was startled and quickly contacted the family doctor for emergency treatment.

Minutes later, Madam Zhou slowly regained consciousness, her eyes frighteningly red. As she continued to read the contents of the letter, her heart raced faster, and anger filled her entire being, almost causing her to lose her mind.

Her son, the most outstanding heir of the Zhou Family, had actually been plotted against by those villains of the Qin Family!

After finishing the letter, Madam Zhou took a deep breath and tossed the letter to Steward Zhou, "Take a look."

"Madam?" After reading a page, Steward Zhou also felt his heart pounding. He exclaimed, "Madam, this..."

He had been working for the Zhou Family for nearly thirty years, and he had watched Zhou Heyuan grow up.

The sudden incident with Zhou Heyuan had also been a constant source of distress for Steward Zhou.

"The Qin Family... excellent indeed, the Qin Family!" Madam Zhou laughed furiously, "I wondered why they tried to stop me when I proposed reopening the investigation. It turns out it was their doing!"

If Qin Yu could do such a thing, Madam Qin must have known about it.

"Madam, could this be a conspiracy by other families?" Steward Zhou tentatively spoke, "to make us fight the Qin Family while they reap the benefits as bystanders."

Hearing this, Madam Zhou also calmed down a bit, "Who sent this letter?"

Steward Zhou hesitated before answering quietly, "I don’t know. I retrieved the surveillance footage from the entrance, but couldn’t find any suspect."

"Indeed, it is somewhat strange." Madam Zhou pressed her temple, "Let’s investigate according to what the letter says, start by clarifying things."

If someone was targeting the Zhou Family, she would never agree!

**

In South City, after washing up, Ye Wanlan received a phone call from Lin Wenli.

"Sister, the letter has been sent." Lin Wenli said, "However, the people of the Zhou Family are very cautious. They didn’t immediately attack the Qin Family but chose to first verify the truth of the claims in the letter."

"Understood," Ye Wanlan replied nonchalantly, "Qin Yu’s legs are temporarily immobile, his subordinate was also crippled by Qinqin, and one night’s time is enough for the Zhou Family to investigate."

By the time Qin Yu realized what happened, it would be too late.

Lin Wenli’s heart skipped a beat, and he sighed slowly, "Sister, you are really..."

Terrifying.

From the moment Qin Zhi came to find Ye Wanlan, she had already prepared everything, set up the game, and simply waited for the pieces to move along the paths she had planned.

"Wenli, you should also be careful when you’re at school," Ye Wanlan’s voice was calm, "The Qin Family might target you as well, also, take good care of uncle and aunt, and make sure they don’t get involved."

Lin Wenli considered for a moment and said, "If they really come, I’ll definitely tell the police uncle that they fell and injured themselves."

He had also developed his inner strength, and with the martial arts Ye Wanlan taught him, dealing with Qin Family’s thugs was no longer an issue.

Lin Wenli suddenly remembered something from more than half a year ago when Ye Wanlan returned. They had encountered the thugs of the Qin Family at the school gate.

At that time, he only thought of leaving, because they were not capable of confronting the Qin Family.

In merely a few months, the situation had completely reversed, changing the dynamics of attack and defense.

This made him realize that with sufficient strength, the Qin Family was nothing to fear.

"You’ve learned well," Ye Wanlan said casually, "Yes, just say that."

Lin Wenli rarely showed a smile, "It’s all thanks to my cousin’s good teaching."

"Thump, thump, thump—"

The window was knocked, and Ye Wanlan turned her head, "Big senior brother?"

Under the moonlight, Xie Linyuan stood on the window ledge, his demeanor very serious.

The Sword Saint was usually carefree and rarely showed such a facial expression. Ye Wanlan’s gaze sharpened a bit, and she opened the window.

"Little junior sister." Xie Linyuan’s tone was also very solemn, "I’ve found something, come and take a look."

"Alright." Ye Wanlan jumped down from the window, landing gracefully.

Led by Xie Linyuan, the two soon arrived at a forest in the southern outskirts of South City.

This forest bordered a lake that also connected to the sea.

In the dead of night, the forest was lit only by the faint glow of fireflies.

"Little junior sister, it’s here." Xie Linyuan walked under a large rock, "Lift this rock."

Ye Wanlan nodded, her fingertip lightly touched the air, and the hundred-kilogram rock lifted off the ground, revealing the cave beneath.

Penglai Magic!

Only the Penglai Magic could easily move such a huge rock.

In former times, the Penglai Saintess Yue Zheng possessed the heaven-defying ability to move mountains and overturn the seas.

Xie Linyuan couldn’t stop praising, "Three hundred years later, your body has really recovered a lot, if you had a healthy body back then, who knows who would have sat on the Martial Arts Alliance Hierarch’s position."

He believed that his little junior sister could definitely defeat his second junior brother.

The tasks he couldn’t complete, let the little junior sister take over.

"Dealing with both the Imperial Court and the Jianghu, I don’t have that much free time." Ye Wanlan lightly shook her head and jumped down into the cave’s entrance.

Xie Linyuan followed closely behind.

After entering, Ye Wanlan discovered that the cave beneath was a hidden world.

Her eyes flickered slightly, "This is..."

"Correct, this is probably a secret passage once established by Taiyi Palace." Xie Linyuan’s gaze was intense, "There are no signs of intrusion here, this means that before Yun Qing, the Palace Master, rushed to the battlefield, he must have moved the core disciples here to ensure the continuous transmission of the Taiyi Divine Doctor."

Unfortunately, some medical acupuncture techniques can’t truly be passed down through books alone; one has to see the elders in action.

When Taiyi Palace’s top combat power all died in battle, the real Taiyi Divine Doctor also vanished.

Ye Wanlan lit the withered but still present torch in the place, illuminating the entire cave.

There were disordered bookshelves and some medical tools.

Ye Wanlan silently collected these broken tools one by one, walking straight to the depths of the cave, where she saw a line of words written in blood.

But three hundred years had passed, and these words were still there, clearly, the writer had used a secret technique.

Ye Wanlan lifted the torch and read them, recognizing the handwriting’s owner.

The last Palace Master of Taiyi Palace, Shui Yunqing.

When writing these words, she was clearly at the end of her tether, the strokes also intermittent.

—Please ask the Tower Master to take good care of the remaining disciples, Shenzhou can be without me, but it can’t be without Taiyi Medical Practitioners.

There are countless healers in Shenzhou, but no more Shui Yunqing.

Three hundred years later, the Yunjing Su Family possesses the best inheritance, also because Shui Yunqing had made arrangements early on.

After all, no matter the time, healers are too important.

"But here, there is not a single corpse." Xie Linyuan stroked his chin, "If Yun Qing, the Palace Master, was dead, how could she possibly leave this place? Could it be, did the Shenxiao Tower Master take her corpse?"

Ye Wanlan did not respond, still groping on the cave’s stone walls, if things were as she expected...

"Click!"

A crisp sound, and a box popped out.

Inside, there was nothing special, just a golden needle.

However, seeing this golden needle, Xie Linyuan was greatly shocked, "Little junior sister, could this be—"

"Correct, it’s the Life and Death Needle rumored in the Jianghu." Ye Wanlan carefully pinched the golden needle, "This needle can only be used by those who have cultivated the Taiyi Acupuncture Technique to the Ninth Layer, and only those who possess this needle are true Taiyi Medical Practitioners."

Shui Yunqing had left such a divine object here.

"Lucky that it’s you who got it," Xie Linyuan breathed a sigh of relief, "If it were obtained by someone else, the consequences would be unthinkable."

"Others who get it might not necessarily be able to use it," Ye Wanlan smiled lightly, "If it were really that useful, wouldn’t everyone be able to become the number one Divine Doctor?"

It was precisely by using this Life and Death Needle that Shui Yunqing saved countless lives.

"Given Yun Qing’s character, she must have left something else." Ye Wanlan stored the golden needle properly, "Let’s keep looking."

**

At six in the morning, inside the Zhou Family Old Residence, the atmosphere was tense.

Having gathered a series of evidence and logical connections, it was quite convenient for the Zhou Family to restart the investigation.

Patriarch Zhou and Madam Zhou were finally able to confirm that the car accident involving Zhou Heyuan was indeed caused by Qin Yu.

Then, they absolutely wouldn’t let the Qin Family off the hook!

"Dad, Mom?" Zhou Hechen came downstairs and saw Patriarch Zhou and Madam Zhou in such a state, and he couldn’t help but be stunned, "Has something major happened?"

"The incident with your elder brother wasn’t an accident, your mom and I have cleared it all up." Patriarch Zhou’s expression was stern, "Even though it’s been almost three years, we must make the culprit pay the price!"

Zhou Hechen’s heartbeat stopped for a moment, and his mind also went blank.

Did Patriarch Zhou and Madam Zhou discover what he had done?!

But without Zhou Heyuan dying or becoming a vegetable, how could he take over the position?

He was not content with being just a second in command; he wanted to firmly hold the Zhou Corporation in his hands.

For a moment, Zhou Hechen broke out in a cold sweat, his clothes soaked, and he stood rigid, unable to move, his ears buzzing.

Madam Zhou’s senses were extremely sharp, her gaze landed sharply on Zhou Hechen, "Hechen, what’s wrong with you?"
