Chapter 254: Ye Zi’s message 0252

After two days of investigation, the four members of the Longjia group gathered in a room.

The four divided into two teams, with Lin Wurou and Li Xiaohu collecting plenty of information about Ye Qiu from the martial arts community, while Mu Zhige and Cheng Tianhu looked for clues at the crime scene.

When they reconvened, they pooled all their findings together, gaining a deeper understanding of Ye Qiu.

"Ye Qiu, the bodyguard of Shangguan Mingyue of the Longjia Group, had always played the role of a protector," one of them said.

"At first glance, we wouldn’t pay much attention to this fact, but he had once clashed with Fujikawa Ueno. During a friendly martial exchange, he stunned everyone, and it was unexpectedly discovered that he might be a high-level True Qi expert."

"He tends to keep a low profile, mostly staying in the goddess’ villa."

"However, I heard that Chen Yifeng, a senior in the southern martial arts community, highly regards Ye Qiu. He had once sent out martial arts invitations and even invited him to join in capturing an assassin."

Lin Wurou narrated all her findings regarding Ye Qiu to the other three present.

Mu Zhige and Cheng Tianhu, their eyes flickering, joked about the information Lin Wurou had uncovered. At the crime scene, they found Ye Qiu’s bloodstains, and the police also confirmed the presence of Ye Qiu’s blood, allowing them to preliminarily determine that Ye Qiu was the killer of the transformed beast-man.

Mu Zhige said, "Based on this information, it’s not surprising that Ye Qiu could kill the transformed beast-man. Although later, Ye Qiu was taken away. I think Ye Qiu must have fought Fujikawa Ueno and others, taking on ten people alone. After exhausting a lot of energy, he was taken away by a mysterious figure who suddenly appeared, narrowly escaping a possible death at Fujikawa Ueno’s hands."

In fact, Mu Zhige’s guess was almost exactly right. Cheng Tianhu had his own opinion, saying, "This Ye Qiu might not be as formidable as you guys suggest. A nobody who suddenly appeared, how strong he actually is still needs to be verified."

Lin Wurou frowned at Cheng Tianhu’s sarcastic tone. Her investigation was clear, and at this time, Cheng Tianhu’s tone was mainly due to his inability to accept that someone of his generation could be more skilled than him. Lin Wurou responded, "Though I have not fought with Ye Qiu personally, the information gathered shows that he is undoubtedly a True Qi level martial artist. Moreover, recently people in the martial arts community have been saying that his strength might reach the level of the top ten fighters. If he appears at the upcoming martial arts conference, there is a ninety percent chance he’ll place among the top ten."

"Sister Wurou, do you really believe Ye Qiu has such strong capabilities?" Cheng Tianhu said, "He’s just an ordinary bodyguard; I could take on dozens like him."

"Cheng Tianhu, are you questioning my research findings?" Lin Wurou shot back.

Cheng Tianhu, already interested in Lin Wurou, quickly said, "Sister Wurou, I would certainly not question you. It’s just that I find this person, Ye Qiu, unpleasant."

"It’s one thing for him to protect Shen Mengchen, his employer, but I’ve found out that he also has deep connections with other women. You wouldn’t be interested in such a person, would you?" Cheng Tianhu said.

The gossip about Ye Qiu was indeed plentiful. However, Cheng Tianhu making an issue out of it seemed excessive. They were only there to find clues about the transformed beast-man, and Ye Qiu seemed to be only tangentially related to the transformed beast-man.

"Alright, let’s not talk about this anymore. Ye Qiu has disappeared suddenly and hasn’t shown up yet. To find clues about the transformed beast-man from him, we can only wait for his reappearance," Mu Zhige interrupted, speaking slowly.

Mu Zhige’s point was valid; unless Ye Qiu appeared, they had to look for clues about the transformed beast-man from other sources.

"Next, let’s communicate with the southern martial arts community to see if they can reveal some information to us," Mu Zhige said. Regarding the matter of Cui Zisong, Fujikawa Ueno’s disciple being taken away by the southern martial arts community, it was not a secret; they had discovered it long ago.

"Any more news about Ye Qiu?" Mu Zhige glanced around at the three and asked.

"I still have some doubts. When I checked Ye Qiu’s background through the police department, I found that his identity is classified as S-level secret, and without orders from above, no one is allowed to access it," Lin Wurou suddenly said.

"S-level secret? Just who is this Ye Qiu? It seems he is not our enemy. Given this, let’s shift our focus to another direction, regarding the true identity of Ye Qiu. I will consult with my superiors later," Mu Zhige said.

Cheng Tianhu, however, had a gloomy expression on his face, especially after hearing that Ye Qiu’s identity was an S-level secret, making his complexion even more unsightly.

Because just seconds ago, he had been speaking ill of Ye Qiu, and now it turned out the man was an S-level secret important personage. This was equivalent to Cheng Tianhu receiving a slap in the face in front of everyone, though none of the others present really cared about this issue, leaving Cheng Tianhu alone to stew over it internally.

"Ye Qiu, an S-level important personage. I’d like to see just what skills you possess," Cheng Tianhu muttered to himself.

...

Ye Qiu, unaware that his recent encounter with Fujikawa Ueno and others had drawn the attention of Longjia’s Dragon Group, and even made Cheng Tianhu resentful.

Ye Qiu returned safely, and the gloom on the faces of several women was swept away, bringing joy back to the Goddess Villa.

Shen Mengchen, unusually not overworking herself, stayed home to play with Ye Qiu. Shangguan Hong’s speed of reading books was back to normal, and she occasionally lifted her frameless round glasses to glance at the lively scene among Ye Qiu, Shen Mengchen, and Niu Yinyin, showing a hint of a smile before returning to her book.

Shangguan Mingyue cooked breakfast in the morning and then went back to the Shangguan home, not joining in the others’ frolics.

When he heard from Shangguan Mingyue that Ye Qiu had returned safely, Shangguan Dao was visibly stunned.

He stopped his secluded cultivation and went straight out of the house.

Ye Qiu had returned after being taken away by a mysterious person. This news might stir up waves again in the martial arts world.

After playing around with the two women for a while, Ye Qiu received a call from Huo Qian, and upon hearing news of Ye Zi, he could not sit still and immediately headed to the agreed location.

Huo Qian, unaware of Ye Qiu’s disappearance for a few days, only felt that Ye Qiu seemed different now, but he couldn’t pinpoint this feeling and, finding no suitable adjective, simply relayed the reason he had contacted Ye Qiu today.

"I’ve found out news about Ye Zi," Huo Qian said.

"Where is she?" Ye Qiu asked anxiously. Whenever it came to Ye Zi, the girl he had long considered his younger sister, Ye Qiu could not remain calm.

"She frequently appears at a martial arts dojo with a middle-aged man, and from her manner, she seems to respect that man very much," Huo Qian said, at the same time handing a photo taken from a distance to Ye Qiu.

The photo was not very clear, but Ye Qiu could instantly recognize the cautious-looking girl in it as his younger sister Ye Zi.

Examining the man opposite her, Ye Qiu’s gaze sharpened.

The Southern Demon, Du Ying. It was indeed him!
