The light surrounding Dong Yuxin gradually dissipated, his soul was temporarily no longer in his body, and his bodily functions ceased, leaving him completely in a vegetative state.

Wu Xie took out his phone and contacted Gao Yuanda.

"Commander Gao, I request that you immediately lead your men to intercept Dong Yuxin's family and bring them directly to the restricted area. As for the Dong family in Guanxian, the Rongcheng restricted area must also immediately send people to monitor the movements of all of them. Remember, do not let a single one escape!"

Wu Xie's voice was extremely cold, because he never imagined that a family that guarded the water-suppressing divine beast would fall to the point of being controlled by someone like Dong Yuxin.

As for the other three families, now that the Dong family has revealed their true colors, none of them can escape.

Gao Yuanda had just lain down on the bed when his phone screen lit up, showing a call from Wu Xie. He quickly answered and immediately heard Wu Xie's orders.

As a soldier, obeying orders is his duty. Gao Yuanda had not forgotten that Commander Yang Chen had specifically instructed him to fully cooperate with the members of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau and not to delay in the slightest.

Gao Yuanda immediately jumped out of bed, hurriedly walked outside, and dialed another phone number.

Intercepting the Dong family's men heading to Rongcheng was not difficult for him. However, to monitor all members of the Dong family in Guanxian, he would need to coordinate with Yang Chen.

Soon, Yang Chen received a message from Gao Yuanda.

At that moment, Zhao Haijiang, the instructor of the Rongcheng restricted area, had just returned from Jiangyan City and was sitting in Yang Chen's office drinking tea.

He never expected that he would learn of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau's plan to take action against the Dong family when he only wanted to have a cup of tea.

Moreover, they even planned to monitor the entire Dong family.

This is no small matter.

Even though Gao Yuanda, the regimental commander, was carrying out the mission, Zhao Haijiang couldn't help but feel a little worried for him.

"I heard that a patient was transferred from the city hospital today. He is said to be a member of the Dong family and works at the Rongcheng Museum. He is related to the loss of the real water-suppressing mythical beast in the museum!"
Now that the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau has caused such a commotion, could it be that the water-suppressing divine beast is currently at the Dong family's residence?

After the torrential rain completely stopped, Yang Chen learned a lot about what Wu Xie and the others had done from Gao Yuanda. Even though there were some things he was initially unwilling to believe, he has gradually come to accept them now.

Everyone knows that the water-suppressing mythical beast in the museum is fake, but Wu Xie and his companions still have no clue where the real water-suppressing mythical beast is.

"We don't know the specifics, but since the people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau gave orders to Commander Gao, even if the Dong family isn't the mastermind, they're definitely involved in this matter."

"You should contact them first. I'll personally lead a team to Guanxian to make sure nothing unexpected happens!"

Zhao Haijiang knew quite a bit about this matter. He had helped Chen Tian with his previous actions in Jiangyan, and he was particularly impressed by the intense purple light he saw when Chen Tian launched the attack from the person he was tracking.

How could an ordinary person possibly have such means?

In the end, that person still managed to escape.

Although Chen Tian didn't say much, Zhao Haijiang understood that the person behind taking away the water-suppressing beast must be related to the person who escaped.

Now, the people of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau are demanding that the Dong family be closely monitored, which suggests that the Dong family is no ordinary person.

Zhao Haijiang made this guess and also planned to personally go and guard that place.

If any unexpected event occurs, he, as the instructor of the Rongcheng restricted area, can make a decision immediately without being restricted by anyone.

"You want to go in person?"

Although the task assigned to them by the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau must be very important, Yang Chen did not expect Zhao Haijiang to make such a decision. He raised an eyebrow and asked in confusion.

"I can only feel at ease if I go there myself! Alright, remember to tell them that something big is probably going to happen in Rongcheng soon, so we absolutely can't afford any more mishaps!"

Zhao Haijiang nodded seriously and then gave Yang Chen a few more instructions.

“I know what I'm doing, I won't mess things up. But you, if things really come to this, take more people with you. After the torrential rain, people need to rebuild their homes, so the army's presence there won't attract too much attention…”

Having worked together for many years, how could Yang Chen not understand Zhao Haijiang's meaning?
He nodded solemnly, and then gave a few more instructions, still feeling uneasy.

-

The person from the Dong family who went to Rongcheng was Dong Yuxin's father. He knew about Dong Yuxin's current condition and came only to handle the transfer procedures for Dong Yuxin; he had no other intentions.

It can only be said that Dong Yuxin's father was unlucky. After Gao Yuanda received the task, he immediately obtained the detailed information of the train he was on.

The moment the train pulled into the station, Gao Yuanda and his men boarded the train first and subdued Dong Yuxin's father in the sleeper car.

Upon seeing Gao Yuanda in his green uniform, Dong Yuxin's father was stunned and didn't react for a moment.

Because of this delay, he was brought under control.

"I am Gao Yuanda, the commander of the Fourth Regiment of the Rongcheng Garrison Area. I am here to take Mr. Dong to the garrison area!"

Gao Yuanda glanced at Dong Yuxin's father, then gestured for his men to take the man away.

Dong Feng's heart skipped a beat. He didn't dare to struggle, but kept racking his brains, trying to figure out what he had done to get into the restricted area.

But no matter how much he thought about it, he still couldn't figure it out.

With his mind full of questions, Dong Feng was taken to the restricted area hospital.

Gao Yuanda did not deliberately block Dong Feng's view, so Dong Feng saw the sign of the restricted area hospital at a glance.

Why did you bring yourself to the hospital?

Has Dong Yuxin's situation worsened?
But the museum curator didn't tell him that Dong Yuxin had been transferred to the restricted area hospital.
With countless questions unanswered, Dong Feng was taken to the hospital.

For some special reasons, the floor where Xu Yuyi was located has been completely emptied. The only people left here are the people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau and Gao Yuanda and his group.

Dong Feng was wheeled into the ward.

When he saw Dong Yuxin lying on the hospital bed, a look of astonishment immediately appeared on his face.

He discovered that the person lying on the hospital bed was just a soulless body; Dong Yuxin's soul was gone!
Dong Feng was startled and almost without thinking, he turned to leave.

Without much thought, he could guess that Dong Yuxin's current situation was clearly a conspiracy against their Dong family.

“Mr. Dong, now that you’re here, just stay put. You came all this way for your son, didn’t you? Now that your son is here, why are you in such a hurry to leave?”

A faint voice echoed in the hospital room. At the same time, Dong Feng realized the door had been closed from the outside; he was trapped inside, unable to escape!

As if only then noticing that there were other people in the ward, Dong Feng's expression shifted for a while before he slowly turned around and forced a smile.

"Gentlemen, I don't know where I've offended you. I'm here to apologize. Is this alright?" Dong Feng adopted a very humble attitude. He wasn't a fool. Considering that those people outside were clearly from the restricted area and had brought him here directly, and that no matter how he tried to probe or question them along the way, he received no response, he knew that the people who brought him here must have a certain status and position within the restricted area. Otherwise, why would they mobilize so many personnel from the restricted area to bring him off the train?
Given the Dong family's current situation, it was truly unsuitable for them to do anything attention-grabbing. Therefore, after considering various options, Dong Feng made a decision—to adopt a humble attitude. This way, if the other party needed something from the Dong family, he could obtain an answer logically.

"Are all members of the Dong family so spineless?"

In the ward, someone sneered, their tone full of mockery.

Dong Feng's heart skipped a beat, and he turned his gaze to the person who had spoken.

That was another person lying in the hospital bed, who looked very young. Dong Feng wondered if it was because of the lighting in the ward, but the young man seemed strangely familiar.

"Who are you? Why are you framing the Dong family without any reason?"

Dong Feng stared directly at the boy, his attitude hardening.

He seemed to have forgotten that there were other people in the ward.

"I'm Xu Yuyi, Dong Feng. Don't you recognize me?"

Xu Yuyi burst out laughing. He thought that with his face, the other four families would be able to recognize him immediately.

He didn't expect that Dong Feng wouldn't recognize him.

This is absolutely ridiculous!
"Xu Yuyi? You... how did you get here?"

Dong Feng's mind was racing. He realized that he had completely fallen into someone else's trap.

"Why am I here? Perhaps you should ask the Dong family, shouldn't you? Dong Yuxin has already confessed everything he knows. Dong Feng, you'd better think carefully before you speak. If what you say is different from what Dong Yuxin says, what will happen to you!"

Xu Yuyi couldn't even manage a smile anymore. At a time like this, Dong Feng was still questioning why he was there.

Absolutely ridiculous!
“I refuse to answer any of your questions. You have no right to interrogate me! I will appeal. I am from the Xichuan Archaeological Institute. If you want to interrogate me, you must obtain the institute's consent. Bringing me here privately, I have the right to sue you!”

Dong Feng took a step back, his face full of domineering force, a far cry from his previous humility. His eyes were filled with hatred as he looked at Xu Yuyi.

He might be regretting that he didn't eliminate the threat completely when he made his move, leaving Xu Yuyi as a troublesome character.

More importantly, what Dong Feng cared about was what methods Xu Yuyi had used to make Dong Yuxin's soul disappear.

Based on Dong Feng's previous investigation of the Xu family, Xu Yuyi was clearly a clueless teenager, and he absolutely did not have the ability to take away Dong Yuxin's soul.

If it wasn't Xu Yuyi, then who could it be?

The fact that the other party has connections to the restricted area and is on Xu Yuyi's side suggests that they already know about what the Dong family and several other families are doing together.

Suddenly, Dong Feng dared not think any further.

He is scared!

After all, they were in the wrong in this matter!
"I wonder if the heads of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau and the Institute of Mountain and Sea Geology are qualified to interrogate you, Mr. Dong Feng?"

At this moment, Chen Tian finally spoke, his voice cold, which made Dong Feng involuntarily shiver.

what's the situation?
How could they be from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau?

If it were someone from another department, even someone from the restricted area, the restricted area would still give them face as long as the archaeological institute intervened.

Others may not be aware of the significance of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau in the cultural relics field, but Dong Feng, as a member of the Sichuan Provincial Archaeological Research Institute, is very clear about it. The two directors of the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau have made tremendous contributions to the entire cultural relics community.

As long as it involves the Nine Gates Feng Shui Formation, not only the Xichuan District Archaeological Research Institute, but the entire cultural relics community of Dongda University will provide full support without hesitation.

Dong Feng had considered that Xu Yuyi had climbed up to the people in the restricted area, but he never expected that the person standing behind Xu Yuyi was actually from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau.

Dong Feng's eyes darted around rapidly, his mind a complete mess, his mouth opening and closing repeatedly, utterly at a loss for words.

Finally, he simply closed his eyes and fell backward.

With a soft "thud," Dong Feng collapsed to the ground, unconscious.

Chen Tian's lips twitched for a while before he looked at Wu Xie and the others with a helpless expression.

"Do I look scary? How did he just faint?"

He really only said one sentence.

How could things have gotten so outrageous that Dong Feng fainted?
This person is from the Xichuan Archaeological Research Institute, so he shouldn't be so timid, right?

"He didn't faint from being scared by you; he just pushed himself too hard to avoid our interrogation. Don't worry, he'll wake up eventually. I've recently developed a kind of mantra talisman, so I can use it on them when the time comes."

Wu Xie looked coldly at Dong Feng lying on the ground and said in an icy tone.

Xu Yuyi jumped off the bed, walked to Dong Feng's side, and couldn't help but kick him hard twice.

In their eyes, the Xu family seemed to be an insignificant entity, someone they could manipulate at will.

"Well, what's meant to happen will happen eventually. Dong Feng's coma won't last long." Master Qingfeng gently patted Xu Yuyi's shoulder and comforted him.

He could understand Xu Yuyi's feelings at this moment. He clearly knew that these people in front of him were inextricably linked to the massacre of the Xu family, but now he was unable to avenge his parents.

How can this kind of pain, which is suppressed in one's heart, be easily dispelled?
When Dong Feng woke up again, his nose was filled with the pungent smell of disinfectant.

The ceiling above my head looked so familiar; it was clearly the same as a hospital ward.

He tried to recall what happened before he lost consciousness, but all he felt was a terrible headache. The pain stimulated his nerves, as if warning him not to dwell on what had happened before.

"Alright, stop pretending to be dead. If you dare to faint again this time, I guarantee that Dong Yuxin's soul will dissipate before you do!"

A cold, menacing voice rang in Dong Feng's ears.

Upon hearing Dong Yuxin's name, Dong Feng finally remembered that the people from the Nine Gates Feng Shui Bureau had made their move.

When faced with a choice between family interests and one's own son's life, how should one choose?
Dong Feng had no other choice.

"Please stop asking me, I really don't know anything!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Dong Feng knew he had no way out. He silently apologized to Dong Yuxin, believing his son would understand why he had made such a choice. (End of Chapter)
