《Starting From Fooling the Elderly into Registering for a Cultivation Training Class》Chapter 35: Zhao Xuanxuan Is in Danger
Advertisement
Right now, Di Tai's issue remained a top priority. Wang Jiajun didn't want to waste his trip.
Since the head of the Fang family was not here, they had to have a temporary person in charge.
Fang Yuke said, "I think I am."
"Are you sure?"
"Mm!"
Wang Jiajun thought for a moment and then said, "I have a few questions. Where would be a convenient place for us to speak?"
"Let's go to my office!"
Fang Yuke led Wang Jiajun and the captain to his office.
Wang Jiajun instructed the captain to turn on the tape recorder, part of their law enforcement equipment.
Fang Yuke made each of them a cup of tea. He crossed his legs, sat back on the sofa, and lit a cigarette.
"Brother Jiajun, if you have any questions, feel free to ask them. As long as I know, I'll answer them all. I won't hide anything."
Wang Jiajun smiled. He had heard such promises countless times, but few were honest.
Without further ado, Wang Jiajun went straight to the point.
"Do you know Di Tai?"
"Yes, everyone in Beichuan should have heard of him now."
"Has the Fang family ever interacted with Di Tai?"
"Brother Jiajun, what do you mean by this? Are you suspecting that the Fang family and Di Tai are connected?" Wang Jiajun could not help but question him.
Wang Jiajun was somber. "You just have to answer yes or no."
"No, definitely not." Fang Yuke was firm and certain.
Wang Jiajun chuckled and said, "Do you know everything about your family? I'm talking about things that the outside world doesn't know about."
Fang Yuke frowned and said, "What do you mean by that, Brother Jiajun? I don't quite understand."
Wang Jiajun smiled. "I'll be frank. According to our investigation, your family has some sort of relationship with Di Tai."
Upon hearing this, Fang Yuke faltered. His expression turned solemn.
He had returned from overseas and had lived overseas for many years. He really did not know much about his family.

Wang Jiajun noticed Fang Yuke's strange expression and continued, "12 years ago, Di Tai's parents died in an accident.
"In the same year, the Fang Corporation laid off many employees. Various people left their jobs in succession.
"Right now, Di Tai is in Beichuan city, murdering people.
"And all the people he killed were employees who left the Fang Corporation 12 years ago."
"Young Master Fang, don't you think that's strange?" Wang Jiajun lowered his voice.
Fang Yuke took a deep puff of his cigarette and fell into deep thought.
In the spacious office, the air became thick. The quiet puffs of Fang Yuke's cigarette were the only thing that could be heard.
After a moment of silence, Fang Yuke said, "Brother Jiajun, are you saying that Di Tai's parents' death was not an accident? That it had something to do with my family?"
Wang Jiajun smiled and said, "I didn't say that. We police officers do things based on evidence.
"Without evidence, all other speculation is meaningless."
Fang Yuke chuckled. It looked like he had been set up.
Although he was slightly unhappy, he did not show it.
Right now, what he wanted to do the most was to ask his father if this matter was as he thought.
If that was the case, it would be troublesome.
Not long after, Wang Jiajun left.
Fang Yuke sat on the sofa alone, deep in thought.
He hesitated on whether or not he should call his father and ask for an explanation.
At this moment, the land-line telephone rang.
Fang Yuke picked it up impatiently.
"What is it?"
"President Fang, someone came for an interview with the resume you approved yesterday."
"Just say that I'm in a meeting and to come again another day." Fang Yuke felt frustrated. He did not want to handle something like an interview right now.
Downstairs.
The receptionist hung up.
She smiled and said to the interviewee, "I'm really sorry, President Fang has a last-minute meeting. Why don't you come back another day?"
"All right!"
The interviewee was Zhao Xuanxuan.

Presently, she felt a little disappointed.
The Fang Corporation was a listed company. It was a big company with good treatment and benefits. She'd just managed to get her resume through, but a change of events occurred during the interview.
Zhao Xuanxuan walked out of the building, took out her phone, and called Qin Chuan.
"Sorry, the number you have dialed is unavailable…"
Zhao Xuanxuan flew into a rage out of humiliation.
"Hmph! He switched off his phone again!" Zhao Xuanxuan wished she could smash her phone.
There was a problem with her interview, and it was too boring to go home. She could only ask her high school classmates in Beichuan if they were free to hang out.
But after asking around, everyone was busy and couldn't come out for the time being.
Zhao Xuanxuan felt a little aggrieved, sighing.
She looked at the scorching sun above her and decided to call a taxi to go shopping.
After she got into the taxi and left, a black car quietly drove out from a corner.
…
Inside the sect.
Qin Chuan sat cross-legged on the platform, supervising the cultivation of the people below.
All of a sudden!
"XXX has succeeded in drawing Qi. The host has received 10 points."
"Congratulations, host. You have unlocked an achievement, [The 200th Cultivator], reward: 50 supreme-grade Foundation Establishment Pills, 5000 points, and an Immortal Beast egg."
Qin Chuan's eyes couldn't help but light up, "I've finally reached 200 people. That wasn't easy!"
After consuming the Foundation Establishment Pills, he successfully reached the eighth class of the Foundation Establishment realm and was not far from breaking through.
A colorful egg floated in the system space.
[Immortal Beast Egg]: Immediately hatches an Immortal Beast.
When he placed his consciousness on the surface of the egg, he felt the life pulsing within it.
There was a progress bar on top of the Immortal Beast egg. It was currently at 0%.
Needless to say, once the progress bar was full, the beast would hatch.
However, Qin Chuan didn't know how to increase his progress, so he could only ask the system.
"Just infuse True Qi into the egg," the system replied.
So Qin Chuan took out the Immortal Beast egg from the system space. It was cool to the touch and was light.
After, Qin Chuan injected his True Qi into it.
The progress bar moved.
0.1%, 0.2%, 0.3%…
It advanced 0.1% with every second and did not consume much True Qi.
Although the progress was slow, Qin Chuan had plenty of time.
Soon, the hatching progress reached 50%.
Qin Chuan stopped to recover for a bit. Once his True Qi was full, he continued the infusion.
But at this moment, a pattern appeared on the back of Qin Chuan's right hand.
"Xuanxuan!" Qin Chuan's expression changed abruptly. He immediately returned to the real world.
At the same time.
A black car sped along the highway.
Soon, it drove out of the city and onto a mountain road.
A few minutes later, the car drove into an abandoned mine.
This mine was located deep in the mountains. There were no cell phone signals and no chance anyone would come here.
After the car stopped, four burly men stepped out.
They were dressed in black suits and sunglasses. They looked fierce—they looked like the bad guys.
Two men in suits went to the entrance of the mine to keep watch. The other two opened the trunk of the car.
There was a large sack in the trunk.
Inside the bag was a beautiful girl. It was Zhao Xuanxuan.
She had been injected with a tranquilizer and was completely unconscious. She was at the mercy of these men.
"This girl is quite pretty. Why don't we…" One of the men in a suit began.
The other commented, "You know the consequences if the boss finds out."
"Hehe! As long as we keep mum, how would Boss know?"
"Then… this…"
Looking at Zhao Xuanxuan's beautiful face and curvaceous figure, the other man in a suit wavered.
They carried Zhao Xuanxuan to the small house at the side.
However, just as they put Zhao Xuanxuan down, a thunderous explosion suddenly sounded from outside.
