Cannon-Fodder Heiress Turns the Tables by Fortune-Telling-Chapter 695: Hmph, What a Scheming Bunch of Men!
By the time the subway was about to stop running, the four of them finally completed their rounds and boarded the last train heading to the suburbs.
The Little Paperman, initially eager and excited to watch the spectacle, now had eyes that showed no signs of fluctuation.
Although it was a Magic Artifact and wouldn’t get tired, at this moment, the Little Paperman felt like it finally understood what "tedium" meant.
The four of them originally thought they could leave smoothly.
As a result, they ran right into a trap set specifically for those Evil Cultivators, getting caught red-handed by Wanqi Yu’s people.
Little Paperman: ...
It could swear, from beginning to end, it really just followed and did nothing else, definitely didn’t tip anyone off—just unlucky timing for them.
When Yun Ran got the news, she remained silent for a while.
Then she thought, the Wanqi Family’s luck was truly unstoppable.
On top of the credit for capturing the Evil Cultivators, catching the Xuan Sect Association’s internal traitor, anyone from the Xuan Sect Association with any sense of shame would hesitate to make things difficult for Wanqi Yu after this.
"Since those Evil Cultivators have been captured, let’s prepare to return to Hai City."
That night, Yun Ran slept soundly, but some couldn’t sleep a wink, and were even seething with anger.
Many people in the Xuan Sect Association had just emerged from the emotions of narrowly escaping death.
Then, one piece of bad news after another came.
First, the young lady of the Zhang Family, whom they avoided like the plague, didn’t make it in the end and died on the way to the hospital.
Not only did the Zhang Family not thank the Xuan Sect Association for sending Zhang Weilin to the hospital, but they also counter-accused, blaming the Xuan Sect for not saving her.
If it weren’t for the fact that the Xuan Sect Association had backing, the angry Zhang Family members might have tried to dismember the people from the Xuan Sect vent their anger.
"Is your Zhang Family sick or something? We never took a penny from you, and it was already quite benevolent to notify you!"
On this note, the people from the Xuan Sect Association felt incredibly aggrieved, narrowly avoiding being ruined by Zhang Weilin.
Just when the two parties were clashing fiercely, news came that someone from the Xuan Sect Association was caught mingling with Evil Cultivators.
Already filled with anger, the Xuan Sect members were immediately set off by this news.
They yelled at the person on the other side of the phone, "Bullshit, this is slander! Do they really think we’re pushovers, letting anyone throw dirt on us?!!"
With that, the leader left some people behind to continue ’reasoning’ with the Zhang Family.
The rest hurried towards the suburbs, the ones not in Southern China woken up from their holidays in the middle of the night to seek justice.
When the Xuan Sect Association members rushed to the suburbs.
They saw forces that had never appeared in Southern China before, and immediately found a breach.
However, before they could pin the blame on Wanqi Yu’s group, they saw people dressed in Special Administration Bureau uniforms.
Among them were a few from the Xuan Sect Association who were quite familiar.
"Captain Yang, how come your Special Administration Bureau action department is here too?"
Logically, the action department doesn’t move unless it’s a big deal, primarily serving as a deterrent, ensuring the Xuanmen people always feel the threat of a sword hanging over them.
After all, in any region, ordinary people are the majority, but once the Xuanmen people act up, the destruction is massive.
To maintain harmony in cities where ordinary people and Xuanmen people cohabit, there are stationed members of the Special Administration Bureau action team everywhere.
Normally, they have a quite friendly relationship with the Special Administration Bureau action department, everyone giving each other face to maintain a superficial peace.
But now, looking around, dozens of Evil Cultivators were captured.
Such a significant event, and the action department didn’t disclose it to them beforehand!
Not to mention the threat these Evil Cultivators posed, the very appearance of dozens in Southern China was originally a terrifying thing.
And the achievement of capturing them, had the action department mentioned it, even the most old-fashioned and stubborn of the Xuan Sect Association, would have willingly contributed money and effort.
The man called Captain Yang was actually also in the dark, but he certainly couldn’t show it on his face.
Moreover, he’d still have to interact with the Xuan Sect Association people in the future; maintaining a good relationship was necessary.
So he immediately decided to pass the buck to Gu Yuan.
"I am just following orders from above..."
Then, he quickly glanced behind him, as if afraid of being caught trying to bend the rules.
He then deliberately lowered his voice: "You’re here looking for your association’s people, right? Ah, they’ve been caught by our Gu Chu.
In light of our good rapport in the past, let me give you a heads-up, this matter isn’t small, and you should be mentally prepared."
The leader of the Xuan Sect Association, upon hearing this, had his heart skip a beat.
No way, their association really had a traitor?
Coming here, their hearts were filled with rage, but upon calming down, none of them dared to be 100% certain; anxiety crept in.
"Captain Yang, you mentioned we usually get along well, could you see if..."
Captain Yang feigned discomfort, seemingly reluctant to get involved, yet visibly struggling with obligation.
In the end, Captain Yang bit his back teeth as if making a great decision.
"How about this: I’ll take you to see Gu Chu, the rest you’ll have to discuss with Gu Chu yourselves; that’s the most I can do, anything beyond that..."
The Xuan Sect Association members were now filled with gratitude, casting aside prior suspicion and misgivings.
After all, Yang was even willing to risk introducing them to his superior.
The Little Paperman who witnessed it all: ...
Ha, in the future, if anyone says women are scheming while men are straightforward and generous, it’ll poke their eyes out for sure.
Hmph, a bunch of crafty men!
Captain Yang swiftly brought the people to Gu Yuan’s side.
"Gu Chu, these are representatives from the Xuan Sect Association, they’re here regarding those four you captured previously, what do you think..."
He spoke in a jittery manner, as if a mere glance from Gu Yuan would knock him down.
This act was pre-planned by Gu Yuan and Captain Yang.
The purpose was naturally to control the people from the Xuan Sect Association, while the fate of those captured four was secret detention. 𝑓𝘳𝑒𝑒𝓌𝘦𝘣𝘯ℴ𝑣𝘦𝑙.𝘤𝑜𝑚
In short, on the surface, the Xuan Sect Association couldn’t, and wouldn’t have these blemishes.
Gu Yuan glanced at Captain Yang, eyes openly scrutinizing, clearly suspicious of Yang’s overly good relations with the Xuan Sect Association people.
That gaze made the Xuan Sect Association members feel a bit heart anxious.
After a long pause, Gu Yuan finally spoke: "Don’t let it happen again!"
