Chapter 55: Visiting the Lichuan River

  Chen Yuxin stood at the side, watching Fang Donglai's expression change silently, and the middle-aged man who came with Fang Donglai also did not make a sound.

  It wasn't until three minutes had passed that Fang Donglai finally turned to Chen Yuxin, his voice hoarse as he said: "Officer Chen, can I take a look at the female student who committed suicide?"

  "It's okay." Chen Yuxin nodded, pointing to a bed not far from Fang Shoutian. Fang Donglai walked over, lifted the quilt and took a look, then quickly covered it again and walked back, saying: "Officer Fang, can I take my son's body back?"

  Chen Yuxin looked at Fang Donglai in surprise, somewhat disbelieving. Taking the deceased's body back was not an excessive request, but previously Fang Donglai had stubbornly believed that his son could not have committed suicide and refused to acknowledge the police's conclusion. Now, wanting to claim the body, wasn't he already acknowledging it? If he didn't acknowledge it, then naturally the body couldn't be taken away.

  "Director Fang, are you sure you want to take the body away?" Chen Yuxin was somewhat unaccustomed to Fang Donglai's change in attitude, but this was a good thing after all. For the police station, once the family agreed, then the case would be considered closed, and the leaders above also hoped for such an outcome.

  Of course, Chen Yuxin still had to make it clear to Fang Dong. After asking, before Fang Dong could speak, she reminded him: "If you want to take the body away, you must sign our case closure book, that is, acknowledge the result of Fang Shao's suicide. After taking the body away, this case cannot be reopened."

  "I agree with the police's verdict." Fang Dong nodded, looking somewhat exhausted.

  What can he do if he doesn't admit it? His son Fang Shou Tian and that female student were both killed by a master of the secret method. A master of the secret method would not leave any clues for the police, would they?

  Not to mention that the other party may be a master of the Yuan Shen realm, even if it's just a secret method, eliminating evidence is not a difficult task.

  "Alright, then let's go and process the formalities with Mr. Fang. After that, you can take away Fang Shao's body." Chen Yuxin nodded and said.

  At this time, Chen Yuxin felt that the matter was even more suspicious. Previously, Fang Dong had a resolute attitude and did not acknowledge that Fang Shoutian's death was a suicide at all. However, after seeing the body, his attitude changed directly.

  Although she was skeptical in her heart, as a police officer, Chen Yuxin had to accept Fang Donglai's request. If she insisted on not acknowledging this result, the police would inevitably be passive.

  After Fang Shou Tian followed Chen Yu Xin to go through various formalities, he sent someone to take away Fang Shou Tian's body and returned to the Blue River Hotel.

  After returning to the Lanhe Hotel, Fang Donglai locked himself in his room and leaned against the sofa in the living room. The middle-aged man who followed Fang Donglai to the police station stood respectfully in front of him.

  Fang Donglai sat on the sofa for over ten minutes before lifting his head to glance at the middle-aged man in front of him, pointing a hand at the opposite sofa: "Qingping, take a seat, no need to be formal."

  Huang Ping quietly sat down on the sofa opposite Fang Donglai, his eyes fixed on Fang Donglai.

  Fang Donglai sighed, rubbed his temples and slowly said: "Qingping, the death of Shou Tian was obviously caused by a master of secret methods. There are those masters in Upper River City, do you have any information on that side?"

  "Director Fang, Shangjiang City has never had any major gang involvement, with most of the power being held by local small-time gangs and groups. The only ones with any real influence are the Jiang, Xu, and Qin families from Shangjiang City. Additionally, Lichuan River from the Shanling Sect has been in Shangjiang City for some time. Lichuan River is a registered disciple of the Shanling Sect and is of the same generation as the sect's leader, He Xinyuan. Last year, he secretly entered the sect and officially became a member, making him the only secret law expert in Shangjiang City."

  "Mountain Stronghold!" Fang Dong came rubbing his forehead and said: "It was only last year that he secretly entered the gate, now at most he has reached the inner refinement realm of spiritual awareness. Guardian Tian has already been in the inner refinement realm of spiritual awareness for over two years, this Li Chuan River shouldn't dare to provoke him."

  "Lixiang River is now only in the spiritual realm, and has not reached the level of introspection." Huaqing Pingdao said: "Apart from this, there are no secret masters on the surface of Shangjiang City either."

  "On the surface, there is none. What about behind the scenes?" Fang Shou Tian sat up straight and coldly snorted: "This time, I was attacked in Shangjiang City, this matter cannot be left uninvestigated. Have someone prepare the carriage, we will first go to visit Li Chuan He of the Shan Luan Sect, then go find Chen Fa Cheng. This time, I came to Shangjiang City with Chen Fa Cheng, he should be the most clear about what's going on behind the scenes."

  "Yes, General Fang, I'll have someone prepare the car right away." High-definition Ping stood up and said respectfully, and was about to leave the door.

  "It's all right." Fang Dong stood up and stopped the other person.

  Huang Ping heard the words and stopped in his tracks, turning around to look at Fang Donglai.

  Fang Donglai walked up to Huaqing Ping and patted his shoulder, saying: "Qingping, you've been following me for twenty years now. You're also a master of the inner refinement realm of spiritual awareness. Entering the spiritual transformation state within five years is absolutely not a problem. This time when we go back, I'll mention it to Liu Shixiong and formally accept you as my disciple."

  Always calm and composed, Huang heard Fang's words and his body couldn't help but slightly tremble, hastily saying: "Thank you, Director Fang."

  "Hehe, still calling me Boss Fang? Shouldn't you change your tone?" Fang Donglai said with a smile.

  "Thank you, Master." Hideto said respectfully.

  "Go." Fang Donglai waved his hand and said, "In terms of talent, you're not inferior to Shou Tian at all. It's just that you started late, otherwise it wouldn't be impossible for you to enter the spiritual awareness transformation now."

  Not long after Fang Donglai changed into a new set of clothes and walked out of the house, two cars drove out of the parking lot of Lanhe Hotel and headed in the direction of Xiyuan Villa in Shangjiang City.

  Xiyuan Villa is a villa area that was developed in Xiangjiang City just a few years ago. The boss behind the scenes is the Jiang family group of Xiangjiang City, and the person in charge is Jiang Shi Ping, the fourth son of the Jiang family. The entire villa area's feng shui layout was planned by Xiangjiang City's famous feng shui master Li Chuan He.

  Xiyuan Villa is nestled between the mountains and rivers, with the famous Jianghuai River in Shangjiang City on one side and the famous Lianyun Mountain on the other. The entire villa complex was built along the banks of the Jianghuai River, at the foot of Lianyun Mountain, surrounded by beautiful scenery, picturesque views, and fresh air.

  The villa group has not been built yet, and the entire Xiyuan Villa has been sold out at a sky-high price. Let's not mention other aspects for now, but just the reputation of Lichuan River is enough to make the big rich and famous people in Shangjiang City spend thousands of dollars to buy it.

  After the villa was built, Jiang Shiping naturally wouldn't treat Li Chuan River poorly and gave him a set of the best villas, worth over 100 million yuan.

  Xiyuan Villa, located on the banks of the Jianghuai River, near Lianyun Mountain, a luxurious villa. Li Chuanhe was sitting in the spacious living room drinking tea. Opposite him sat an old man nearly seventy years old, with white hair and a spirited demeanor, who was none other than Old Qiao, whom Ning had met at the Emperor's Mansion.

  Qiao Lao Tou's full name is Qiao Hesong. In his heyday, he was a well-known figure in Shangjiang City, and although he had retired for many years, he still commanded great respect due to the many juniors he had promoted. After the Xiyuan Villa was completed, Qiao Hesong also bought a villa there to spend his later years in quiet comfort. Whenever he had nothing better to do, he would often come to visit Li Chuanhe for a cup of tea and some conversation.

  But today, Qiao Hesong didn't come to drink tea and chat with Li Chuanhe, but for another matter, which was the suicide of Fang Shoutian.

  Qiao Hesong sipped his tea and played with the teacup in his hand, saying softly: "The identity of the person who committed suicide at Fuxi University today has been investigated. He is Fang Shoutian, the son of Fang Donglai, the general manager of Yaoguang Group in Yunzhou Province. Fang Donglai arrived in Shangjiang City this afternoon. Chuanhe, what do you think? Who did it and what's the purpose?"

  "Yunzhou Province's Yao Guang Group?" Lichuan River narrowed his eyes, and after a long time, he let out a sigh and said: "Old Qiao, this matter has blown up, you'd better not get involved anymore. The Yao Guang Group is an enterprise of the Sanhe Faction, and Fang Shou Tian is also a member of the Sanhe Faction. It's a clash between gods."

  Qiao Hesong was not clear who was behind the Yaguang Group, but Li Chuanhe was clear. Qiao Hesong mentioned that Fang Donglai of the Yaguang Group had come, and Li Chuanhe knew that this matter was not simple. According to his knowledge, Fang Shoutian was a master of the secret method of Lingzhi Neilian boundary.

  Just as Li Chuan was making a wild guess, a middle-aged man in his forties came into the living room and said respectfully: "Master, there are several guests outside the door who claim to be from the Three Harmony Society led by Fang Donglai."

  "Hmph!" Li Chuan River couldn't help but smack his lips, glanced at Qiao He Song and stood up saying: "Fang Donglai has come in person, it seems that things are indeed serious. I'll go greet him, you can take care of yourself."
