Willow Garden

The journey from Western Capital to Gyeongan Province by Airbus takes eleven hours.

With the use of a dedicated aircraft, the time can be reduced to nine hours.

This eliminates the need for buying tickets, queuing, transferring, changing trains, or getting a different vehicle at the airport.

After Zhang Xuezhou and his group met up, they went straight to Qing'an Province.

As soon as the Airbus landed, several special cars quickly drove up to it.

Upon boarding the aircraft, Li Yingbo issued a notice within the committee stating that "the Sequence Holder have rebelled, and the committee has an inescapable duty to quell the rebellion. We are summoning so-and-so and others from Western Capital City to quell the rebellion."

Some could make it in time, some couldn't, and some made excuses.

The number of people who came was secondary; Li Yingbo's real intention was to spread the news that everyone was heading to Qing'an to quell the rebellion.

When the group landed in Qing'an Province, special vehicles from Qing'an Province were quickly set up to welcome them.

Leading the welcoming party was Pei Jing's son, Pei Ying, followed by Qin Wenhan and others.

Pei Ying's face was extremely pale, and he immediately tied a long white ribbon around his head.

This is the burial garment worn to mourn deceased elders in the family. Judging from Pei Ying's attire, the Pei family clearly distinguishes between the two: the person with sound mind is Pei Jing, while the mentally unstable Pei Jing is merely a walking corpse.

Chairman Li!

Pei Ying bowed politely, then looked at the crowd filing out of the Airbus private jet.

Eight people stepped off the Airbus plane, including Li Yingbo, who was in charge, followed by Zhu Liangping and Zhong Zhenzhen, then Ren Yisheng in a wheelchair, Zhou Bo, a committee member from Wanping Province, Huo Deqian, a committee member from Mengzhong Province, and two men wearing special task force uniforms and sunglasses at the very back.

If we include Wang Haoran, Qin Wenhan, Song Bu'er, who organized the Youth Challenge, the number of people from the Western Capital City Committee who came to Qing'an Province is close to ten.

This is not a small number. The previous committee only had nineteen members, and even with the addition of the representatives from various provinces, the total number of members is only a little over fifty.

"I am grateful to everyone for coming to Qing'an to quell the troubles of my father's old age. I have repeatedly advised him that he could move into the Twilight Years Mansion, but he is stubborn and we have limited resources, so we have delayed until today, until this calamity has become uncontrollable," Pei Ying said dejectedly. "I hope that you committee members can suppress this unrest in the old age!"

"It's easy to talk about!"

Li Yingbo responded and then quickly began asking questions.

Where is Wang Haoran?

"Committee Member Wang is at Liuyuan!"

Willow Garden?

"They are currently searching for traces of my father in Willow Garden, where he used to live."

"I see!"

Li Yingbo blinked slightly, glancing behind him.

Seeing that Ren Yisheng didn't respond, Li Yingbo quickly extended his hand in invitation.

"Thank you for your help, everyone. Please!"

Pei Ying quickly agreed, and then gestured to the car that had come to pick her up.

"How did things go?"

After exchanging pleasantries with Pei Ying, Li Yingbo quickly inquired about Qin Wenhan, who had also come.

"Twenty-five people have died so far, including twenty-two employees of Willow Garden, and three of them are juniors whom Pei Jing cherishes dearly," Qin Wenhan said in a low voice. "The area within ten miles of Willow Garden has been sealed off, but Pei Jing's location is still unknown."

Has the entire Willow Garden been searched?

"Liuyuan covers an area of 320 hectares, so searching the entire area is a difficult task, and everyone dares not spread out too much!"

"It's a bit big!"

Willow Garden is comparable in size to the large royal gardens once built by the Luofu Imperial Family, and its area is large enough to accommodate ten large amusement parks.

Li Yingbo blinked, feeling that Pei Jing had practically become the local tyrant of Qing'an Province, enjoying treatment that was beyond the reach of ordinary people.

Searching in such an area is an extremely difficult task.

"Thanks to Ms. Song's suggestion, we had Qing'an temporarily set up surveillance equipment," Qin Wenhan said. "As long as the surveillance is in place, the search will be much easier. If any problems arise with the installation workers, we can basically pinpoint Pei Jing's location."

"That's a great suggestion. As expected of someone who works in the internet industry, her mind is much sharper than ours, these old fogies," Li Yingbo exclaimed.

"To be honest, we were also troubled by the sheer size of Liuyuan. It would be too difficult to find Pei Jing in such an area. If it weren't for Ms. Song's suggestion, we would have all wanted to return to Western Capital City," Qin Wenhan replied in a low voice.

"Um!"

Li Yingbo responded with a soft "hmm".

Clearly, it wasn't just those in Western Capital City who sensed something was wrong; Qin Wenhan also noticed the problem.

If things are done well, that's fine; but if they're done poorly, the risk of being wiped out along with the whole operation is too high.

This is Qing'an Province, which is under the control of Pei Jing.

Qin Wenhan wasn't afraid of Pei Jingmu going mad; he was afraid of Pei Jingmu faking his madness.

Qin Wenhan whispered a reminder, and seeing Li Yingbo's expression, he felt much more at ease.

Although it's unknown what contingency plans Li Yingbo Li Yingbo his group have devised, they must have had a plan in mind before coming here.

Be careful!

Qin Wenhan whispered.

Before Li Yingbo arrived, their group was safe. But once the people from Western Capital City arrived, their safety was uncertain.

They could be defeated one by one, attacked simultaneously, or concentrated in one place and then targeted. In the worst-case scenario, all sorts of possibilities could occur, and Qin Wenhan felt extremely uncertain.

The group then drove to Willow Garden, with each car assigned to a specific person.

"Our route to Willow Garden seems to have changed?"

Qin Wenhan glanced at the driveway outside the car, then turned and whispered a question to Li Yingbo.

"You should know that Old Ren has some remarkable abilities!"

Li Yingbo, who was the rotating chairman of the committee, did not sit in the lead car; the lead car was occupied by Ren Yisheng, Zhang Xuezhou, and others.

The lane change at this moment was likely orchestrated by Ren Yisheng and others.

Li Yingbo chuckled coldly and then looked at Pei Ying and the others sitting in the front seats.

Almost no one can work against a high-level Sequence Holder who is skilled in pseudo-psychology and mind manipulation. No matter how well they hide, Ren Yisheng and others will find out.

If Ren Yisheng checks that the driver and others are not in any trouble, changing the route appropriately can also avoid a possible attack.

From the moment the special plane landed in Western Capital City, the struggle between the two sides escalated to a point where it was on the verge of erupting.

Li Yingbo glanced at Qin Wenhan, a hint of danger flashing in their eyes.

Now everyone is waiting for Ren Yisheng's judgment to see whether Pei Jing is truly old or pretending to be old.

Zhen Munian then cooperated with the personnel from Qing'an Province to subdue Pei Jing, defeat and imprison him, thus completing this turmoil in Munian's life.

If it's a fake old age, there will be many people targeting them, and they will also have many people to kill.

If a conflict breaks out, Pei Ying and the others will be the first to be involved, and the fight will erupt instantly in this private car.
