Chen Weihua had her strengths. There was no denying that.
She controlled a vast intelligence network in Mingzhu City and could piece together the truth from the faintest clues.

Zuo Xiangming must have obtained a remarkable corpse and gained a huge boost in strength. That was how the Living Corpses had come to conquer Mingzhu City.
"Unfortunately, I didn't pay much attention to who those bodies belonged to," Chen Weihua said as they walked. "Otherwise, I could have searched through the information in my head and figured out what ability Zuo Xiangming gained."
Bodies had always gone missing in Mingzhu City.
