early morning
The Qian family villa.
The maid on the first floor is heading to the top floor "chapel" to clean.
For some reason, she slept very soundly last night.
I slept soundly until dawn.
She hadn't had such a good night's sleep in a long time.
"Young Master."
The elevator leads directly to the top-floor lobby.
The maid knocked gently on the door.
There was no response.
The maid raised her hand again and knocked on the door.
However, this time she used a little more force.
Squeak--
The door was suddenly pushed open.
"Unlocked?"
The little maid was completely confused.
The moment she stepped into the "pa" (a place for sleeping), the maid collapsed onto the floor.
A headless corpse was seen hanging from the chandelier.
The limbs were nothing but bare white bones, with not a trace of flesh left; it was practically a perfect work of art.
A large, bloody hole was cut open in his chest.
The heart inside had disappeared.
Qian Duoduo's head was resting against the trash can.
He opened his mouth wide and stared intently.
This is enough to show the immense suffering he endured before his death.
"Ah--"
The maid, regaining her senses, let out a scream.
The sound echoed throughout the villa.
" Chen Zhong, Deputy General Manager of Earth Company, a peak Level Two Martial Artist."
Primarily responsible for the company's various external business operations.
"Project management, liaison with the administrative office, etc."
"In addition, Chen Zhong is also Sea Capital's charity ambassador."
"He donates one-tenth of the Earth Company's net profit every year to various charitable causes."
The Dharma King is reporting to Qin Ze the information he obtained from his overtime investigation last night.
It must be said that the content is indeed very detailed.
The Dharma King then produced several more photographs.
These are all various charity events hosted by Chen Zhong.
Helping impoverished children, cutting ribbons at school opening ceremonies, building toilets for welfare homes...
With a kind and warm smile on his face.
He's like the old grandpa next door.
"What are your thoughts?" the Dharma King asked.
"It's too perfect," Qin Ze said. "Perfect without a single flaw."
There are no perfect people in the world, only perfect personas.
His Dharma King, "This is what the Earth Company wants us to see."
Qin Ze said calmly, "Then find out everything they don't want us to see."
The Dharma King replied, "Oh!"
"Oh, right, there's one more thing."
Qin Ze: "What is it?"
The Dharma King said, "Old Deng's bitter tea seeds are red; this is his birth year in the Chinese zodiac."
Qin Ze: "... Get lost."
His Dharma King: "Okay."
After exiting the Local Area Network, Qin Ze sat cross-legged on the bed and fell into deep thought.
Why would an NPC organization post a task related to a company?
Could this organization be the company's lackeys?
Or they might be founded with company investment, and only with a continuous stream of funds can they uncover the so-called truth of the world.
However, Teacher Yao is Brother Yuanzi's sister.
Brother Yuanzi's upright and incorruptible character, he probably wouldn't let his sister become someone else's dog, right?
Qin Ze scratched his head.
There's something I just can't understand.
Since things have come to this, I might as well take a nap.
Qin Ze yawned and lay back down, pulling the stinky blanket tighter around himself.
The top floor of the dormitory building across the street.
Teacher Yao hardened her fist.
Sleep, sleep, sleep!
Are you a pig?
Zither Woman: "Do you want to keep watching?"
In her view, the assessment was over.
Having been a member of the organization for so long, she can be considered a veteran.
I've also served as an examiner many times.
But this was the first time she had ever seen a trial participant as lazy as Qin Ze.
Teacher Yao gritted her teeth. "Let's wait a little longer."
"The forty-eight hours aren't over yet, are they?"
She doesn't want to give up yet.
After all, she had high hopes for Qin Ze.
And my brother said so.
Qin Ze is a person with limitless potential.
Trials and assessments like this were a piece of cake for him.
Forty-eight hours haven't passed yet; what if they turn the tide at the last second?
Although the possibility is extremely slim.
But Teacher Yao was still full of expectations.
The Zither Woman said in a deep voice, "The other side has already begun their operation."
Teacher Yao nodded. "I know."
"I believe in Qin Ze, he can do it."
Zither Woman: "Then let's wait and see."
Qin Ze was unaware that two women were pointing and whispering about him outside.
Of course, even if he knew, he wouldn't care.
Neither of the two women knew that Qin Ze had discerned the color of Chen Zhong's bitter tea simply by lying in bed.
He had only been asleep for a short while when he was woken up by a series of urgent cell phone rings.
It was Xia Huai'an calling.
Qin Ze's morning grumpiness was temporarily suppressed.
" Huai'an, is there something you need?"
Qin Yu's voice came from the other end of the phone.
"Okay, I knew it!"
" Huai'an called you this morning, and you were calm."
"You get impatient when I hit you, huh?"
Qin Ze remained silent for two seconds before hanging up the phone.
He could already picture Qin Yu on the other end, his heart pounding and his teeth clenched in frustration.
"Three, two..."
Qin Ze had just counted down to one when the phone rang again.
I have something important to discuss with you.
"What kind of serious business can you possibly have?"
" Huai'an is telling you."
After a series of table-banging and muttering sounds subsided, Xia Huai'an answered the phone.
" Qian Duoduo is dead."
Which one Qian Duoduo?
"That's the Young Master Qian from the birthday party."
Qin Ze was not surprised by the result.
Judging from the extent of Xu Feng's hatred for Young Master Qian that night, Xu Feng would not be satisfied until Young Master Qian's life.
Xu Feng was like Doraemon, covered in Martial Artifact, and at the peak of level four.
Brother Devour and the Dharma King had a tough time dealing with them that night.
Qian Duoduo used her head to hold Xu Feng in place?
In Qin Ze's view, his death was only a matter of time.
However, Qin Ze was still slightly surprised that Xu Feng acted so quickly.
Immediately afterwards, Xia Huai'an dropped another bombshell.
"It's not just about Qian Duoduo."
"Almost everyone involved in the Pearl District demolition and relocation project is dead."
"Qian Duoduo died the most tragically."
His body was discovered by the maid this morning.
His limbs were sliced to death, and his head was cut off.
Qin Ze couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.
Xu Feng was ruthless enough to strike.
This clearly demonstrates just how outrageous Qian Duoduo's actions are.
"I asked someone in the Law Enforcement Department."
"That man's name is Xu Feng. He's a victim of the demolition in Pearl District, and he's clearly seeking revenge."
"He's gone berserk now. You stopped him that night, so he might be targeting you too."
Your sister and I suggest you come and stay with us for a few days.
" Xu Feng is so high-profile, the Law Enforcement will catch him sooner or later."
"It's not too late for you to go back to school then."
Qin Ze refused without even thinking.
Tell my sister not to worry.
"I will be staying at the school to cultivate for the foreseeable future."
"Even if he's completely insane, he wouldn't go on a rampage at school, would he?"
Xia Huai'an thought for a moment and said, "That works too. Just don't leave the school during this time."
Qin Yu chimed in from the side, "Don't take off the amulet while wearing it."
Qin Ze nodded. "Understood."
After chatting with his two sisters for a while, Qin Ze hung up the phone.
" Xu Feng, demolition projects, Earth Company..."
Qin Ze suddenly had a flash of inspiration and called out to the Dharma King on the Local Area Network.
"Find out who is in charge of this project."
