“Of course I remember. That child always played around with you when she was young, and you always spoiled her.”
The shadow’s every word was filled with pity, and his body emitted a cold killing intent. “What impressed me the most was the shocking talent she displayed. However, the explosion half a year ago was really a pity. It destroyed a genius just like that.”
“That’s why I want you to investigate this matter. I just received some news from the First Elder that I’ve never heard of in the past. The cause of everyone’s death is Ling Yue’s homemade bomb.”
As soon as these words were spoken, surprise appeared on the shadow’s face.
Of course, he knew what this meant.
Once this news was revealed, many people who were in opposition to Ling Yue would immediately start spreading rumors.
“She must have failed to complete the mission that was assigned to Ling Yue back then, so under her pride of not admitting defeat, she detonated her bomb and perished with everyone present.”
“That b*tch Ling Yue is really an ingrate. She lived in the organization for more than ten years and actually chose to betray us now. 1 think even the news of her death is fake. She must have escaped after killing someone.”
Perhaps even such comments would be good when the time came. No one knew if there would be even crazier rumors to ruin Ling Yue’s reputation.
“Then can you tell me if Ling Yue…”
Before Shadow could finish, Huo Jue could guess what he was going to say from his tone.
“Bullsh*t. I’ve watched Ling Yue grow up. Don’t i know what kind of person she is? She won’t betray us no matter who betrays us in this organization.” Huo Jue’s voice gradually rose as he stared into the shadow’s eyes. “Let me tell you, don’t have such thoughts again. Otherwise.”
“I’m sorry, Elder Huo. I didn’t mean that. I just wanted to confirm it.” Shadow immediately bowed to express his apology. “Only if I’m sure of this can we have a stable starting point for the next investigation.”
When Huo Jue heard these words, he gradually controlled the anger in his heart. “In short, Ling Yue is definitely innocent in this matter. What I need you to investigate is the secret behind it. I believe there must be a reason for this outcome.”
“I understand, but after all, this matter involves a lot of people. The others are still fine, but the Third Elder and the Sixth Elder paid with their lives in the explosion. Their stewards and heirs are extremely concerned about this matter. They’re like crazy, wild dogs. As long as there’s a trace, they’ll follow the smell.”
The shadow spoke bluntly, exuding a condescending arrogance. “Although their relationship with Ling Yue was alright in the past, as soon as this happened, they started to have a lot of resentment towards Miss Ling Yue. This will definitely become a stumbling block in my investigation.”
“I know your concerns, but it doesn’t matter. No one can stop me from investigating the truth of this matter. Not to mention the elders, even their relatives will be killed as long as they dare to block your path.”
In Huo Jue’s heart, everyone had to make way for Ling Yue. “Other than the two sect masters and the elders in the organization, you can decide for the rest. If anything happens, I’ll take responsibility for you.”
“No problem, Elder Huo. Leave this to me. I’ll report to you as soon as there’s news.”
With that, the shadow slowly walked to the corner of the wall and fused with the darkness, disappearing from the room.
In the central city of the Federation, every family’s television was broadcasting a video. This was the preview of the press conference that Shan Yue had recorded in advance.
“Hello, everyone from the central city of the Federation. I’m the chairman of the Shan Corporation, Shan Yue. I’m glad that this video of mine has a chance to be played in front of everyone. Next, I’m going to announce an exciting news to everyone. This news is undoubtedly a drop of spring water in a dry environment for us. It’s enough to save our lives.
“The antidote for the pneumonia virus has been successfully developed. After human experimentation, it has been proven that it can effectively eliminate the virus. In other words, everyone’s illness is cured. Our Federation’s Central City is saved..”
