Chapter 42 The Injustices of That Year
The Misty Rain Pavilion has a very wide range of businesses, selling all kinds of information from all walks of life to various important figures both at home and abroad, and also fulfilling the requests of many important figures and accomplishing all sorts of tasks.
Some martial arts masters need to find century-old ginseng and millennium-old elixirs; others need to search for ancient tombs and historical sites; some foreign forces need various secrets of the Xia Kingdom; and some assassin organizations need to find assassination targets…
Wait, it's all being handled by the people from Yanyu Tower!
Their informants are everywhere on half of the planet.
It's safe to say there's no one they can't find!
As long as the money is in place, they can complete almost 99% of the orders!
Because the entire Wu family made their fortune by selling intelligence during the war, with all sorts of people traveling all over the world!
After all, in this era of rapid technological development, the most valuable thing is information!
Even in the present-day Xia Kingdom, it would be difficult to shake the Wu family's position in the intelligence world, especially their overseas forces, which are simply impossible to destroy!
The entire Wu family cannot be eradicated at all!
"Ouch……"
Wu Qiufeng fell to the ground, most of his bones broken. The excruciating pain caused him to break out in a cold sweat and turn pale.
Yun Chuan, Xu Ya?
The two names flashed through his mind.
But I have absolutely no recollection of it.
Even after going through all the records of his meetings over the past two years, those two names were not found.
It's only possible that it's not a top-secret report.
"My lord, spare my life!"
"I don't personally meet with every guest!"
"He was probably received by another elder!"
Yun Chen said coldly, "I'll give you time to find everyone who received this couple back then!!"
Upon hearing this, Wu Qiufeng felt as if he had grasped a lifeline, and a glimmer of hope appeared in his eyes.
He hurriedly kowtowed repeatedly, pleading, "Yes, yes, yes, sir, please spare my life! I'll find the people who received those two back then right away!"
Yun Chen turned around and looked out of the tall building.
The floor-to-ceiling windows had already been smashed to pieces.
The wind and rain swept in from outside, splashing onto his face. Some raindrops slid down his face, and for a moment it was hard to tell whether they were rain or tears.
Wu Qiufeng hurriedly got up, stumbling and ignoring the excruciating pain in his body, and quickly turned on the computer to check!
His records for each customer are very clear.
But at this moment, he couldn't care less about anything else and directly dialed the phone numbers of every elder in the council.
"Come to my office now, immediately!!"
Wu Qiufeng roared into the phone, his tone extremely angry!
He made more than a dozen calls in a row.
A few minutes later, all the elders of the council arrived quickly. The moment they stepped into the office, they were all shocked and turned pale at the sight before them.
The ground was covered in blood; the scene was horrifying!
"Liu Gongfeng!"
Someone stared at the corpse on the ground and was immediately terrified, because the person was a martial arts master who was in charge of their area. It was said that he was a level 1 martial artist with protective qi, and his sound waves could take shape. He could kill people in the blink of an eye.
How could they not be shocked that such a powerful martial artist had died so violently here?
The entire office was in a complete mess.
The two French windows were shattered, with glass shards scattered all over the floor. Gusts of wind and rain came in from outside, and all the elders saw a figure standing by the window with his back to them!
"OP, what's wrong with you?!"
Everyone was shocked, and one person quickly stepped forward to help Wu Qiufeng.
Wu Qiufeng, looking utterly disheveled, glared at the twelve elders and roared, "Two years ago, which of you received Mr. Yun Chuan and Ms. Xu Ya?!"
Everyone looked at each other.
They quickly took out their phones and searched through them, keeping records of all the clients they had personally met.
One of them, trembling, hurriedly flipped through the records and finally found a record from two years ago. Upon seeing two familiar names on it, he shuddered.
This is a young man around thirty years old.
His name was Jin Fan. He was dressed in a bright gold robe, which made him appear tall and slender. He had a fierce look between his brows. When he arrived here and saw the scene, he immediately sensed that something was wrong.
Seeing those two names brought back everything to his mind.
About two years ago, an ordinary middle-aged couple traveled a long distance from the Central Plains region with a huge sum of money. After inquiring through various channels, they found Yanyu Tower and asked them to find out the whereabouts of someone!
That amount of money, totaling tens of millions, is a considerable sum in this day and age, enough to support a family of three for a lifetime without worry.
As an elder, Jin Fan personally received the other party.
Upon learning of the other party's request, he immediately agreed to Yun Chuan and Xu Ya's request, promising to find the person for them!
At the time, he thought it was just a matter of finding someone; for their Misty Rain Pavilion, wasn't that simple?
Not only did he accept the money on the spot, but he also broke the rules of Yanyu Tower by taking the full amount before the matter was settled and promising the other party that he could find the person in three days.
Three days passed, and there was still no news.
When the couple came to his door, he could only awkwardly brush them off, saying he would give them three more days.
But the person could never be found.
The money had already gone into his private account and was distributed that very night to a group of sugar daddies who loved to eat stinky vegetables.
It's only tens of millions, not a lot.
Given his status, his net worth is certainly far greater than that.
But for him, getting a refund was clearly impossible.
And so it went, three days after three days, with each attempt to evade the issue going on and on.
Half a month has passed!
The couple came to inquire about the situation for the last time, but still couldn't find the person. They were filled with disappointment towards Yanyu Tower, which undoubtedly slapped Jin Fan in the face for his initial confident promises, making him very impatient.
He naturally didn't want to refund the money.
Otherwise, it would be like contradicting yourself.
After thoroughly investigating the identities and backgrounds of the two individuals, they immediately dispatched men to give them a severe beating and drive them away.
Then, the couple never came back.
He thought that was the end of it!
At this moment, Jin Fan felt a chill run down his spine. He never expected that someone would actually attack him because of this incident, and that one of their Misty Rain Pavilion's Earth-rank martial artists would die as a result!
Yun Chen's divine sense was incredibly sharp, accurately capturing that fleeting moment of panic in the young man.
Wu Qiufeng was vomiting blood and suffering internal injuries, but he couldn't care less about that now. He roared, "Hurry up and find them! Who received these two people two years ago?!"
boom!
The next moment, Jin Fan lost all control of his body and suddenly flew into the air, hovering there.
Yun Chen reached out from a distance and grabbed him.
"what!"
At this moment, Jin Fan turned pale with fright.
"Two years ago, you were the one who introduced my parents?"
Yun Chen questioned sharply, his voice filled with terrifying killing intent.
Jin Fan nodded, his face ashen, filled with despair.
His eyes bulged out as an invisible force grabbed his neck and lifted him up, suspending him in mid-air. His legs struggled incessantly as he felt endless fear and was enveloped by the aura of death.
He knew he was doomed today!
All the elders of Yanyu Tower were stunned by what they saw and gasped in shock.
Wu Qiufeng, his mouth full of blood, roared, "Jin Fan, what exactly did you do to those two customers?!"
At that moment, Jin Fan's face flushed red. He wanted to say something more, but he murmured, "I come from the Jin family of Suzhou..."
Yun Chen already understood everything.
At this moment, he stopped wasting words and directly used the Soul Searching Technique to forcefully enter Jin Fan's sea of consciousness, violently searching and directly finding the fragments of memories from two years ago.
"ah!!!"
Jin Fan let out a shrill scream. The tearing of his soul caused his body to convulse continuously. Then he foamed at the mouth, his sea of consciousness was severely damaged, and he instantly became an idiot!
Yun Chen searched through this person's sea of consciousness, found his memories from back then, and also learned who had hit his parents!
