The martial arts immortals in the modern world.

Chapter 35 Life
The Dayu Kingdom has been passed down for more than four hundred years, and there has always been a saying that the royal court and the aristocratic families share the world.

During the turbulent times a hundred years ago, the royal family seized the opportunity to weaken the influence of the aristocratic families in the country and implemented the cabinet system, seemingly intending to replace the aristocratic families' rule over the major provinces.

But a skinny camel is bigger than a horse.

Although today's aristocratic families are not as equal to the royal family as they were a hundred years ago, and the royal family can even be regarded as the strongest aristocratic family, the influence they possess is still extremely astonishing.

Even if the governor appointed by the cabinet wants to carry out work in a certain place, he must get the support of the local family.

If the aristocratic families are dissatisfied, the government may not function smoothly.

Tiannan Governor Wei Kongming was capable and decisive, and at one point he made it difficult for the Tiannan families to emerge.

But even so, it was still impossible to completely eradicate the problem of aristocratic families.

Like now, even if Xia Wuyuan traced back to the Yue family based on the clues behind Yulong International, he still couldn't do anything to the Yue family.

I came to the Yue family to investigate, but I couldn't even meet the head of the Yue family.

Finally, with the seemingly cooperative farewell of the butler, he left the Yue family manor.

……

On the way back to their residence, Ye Yuhe looked at Xia Wuyuan with some concern: "Brother, this matter involves the Yue family... Should we... really continue investigating?"

"check!"

Xia Wuyuan said without hesitation: "After learning both literary and martial arts, I will serve the imperial family. Since I have chosen this path, I must continue on!"

"But the Yue family..."

Ye Yuhe said.

"Don't worry, I know what's going on."

Xia Wuyuan said: "The Yue family... is not our target."

Ye Yuhe heaved a sigh of relief after hearing this.

Although the so-called aristocratic families and nobles in the country have now been swept into the feudal dregs, these ancient aristocratic families no longer regard themselves as aristocratic families to the outside world, but have transformed themselves into chairmen and helmsmen of large groups and enterprises.

But she, who was able to barely get in touch with this circle, knew that aristocratic families and nobles had always existed, they just became more secretive and had higher entry rules.

Ordinary people will never be exposed to it in their lifetime, so they naturally think that they are being submerged in the trend of the new era.

But in fact, the rules that govern society have always been in their hands.

Now that she heard that Xia Wuyuan was not really going to attack the Yue family, she naturally felt relieved.

"Well, there is still some work to do on this case. I estimate that it will be a tug-of-war that will last for a long time. You should go back first and master the art of gun fighting."

Xia Wuyuan glanced at her and said, "You have a good foundation in martial arts, but you are still not very proficient in fighting against hot weapons. You don't even know the basic parameters of commonly used firearms. This will put you at a great disadvantage when fighting against hot weapons."

"We basically handle cases in urban areas. We can easily move the battlefield into buildings and streets with complex terrain, and use houses as cover for close-range combat and encounters. In this kind of combat, hot weapons have a very limited effect. It's better to practice martial arts than to learn this. If I can become a master like you, brother..."

"Times have changed."

Xia Wuyuan shook his head: "So what if he's a Grandmaster? He'll still die if he's shot! Although all weapons are people-oriented, if we can't keep up with the times, sooner or later we'll be eliminated by increasingly advanced technological creations."

He paused and said, "Take the young master of the Su family as an example. He may be gifted and have already become a master. If we fight to the death with bare hands, the outcome is still uncertain. But if we use guns... the battle will be a foregone conclusion."

"Like a swordsman versus an unarmed man?"

"Guns are much more powerful than swords."

Xia Wuyuan said.

Seeing this, Ye Yuhe didn't know what to say and could only obey.

At that moment, Xia Wuyuan also turned his eyes away and concentrated on driving.

In fact, the clues of this case were lost after Yulong International.

Or...

When the procuratorate was unwilling to give him the power to investigate, he could not continue the investigation.

Perhaps someone at a higher level put pressure on Zhou Tianqiao, and the deputy director of the procuratorate also hinted that he should not make a big deal out of it.

but……

After witnessing the tragic situation on the fourth floor below ground of Yulong International, he really could not turn a blind eye to this case.

We cannot stand by and watch the real offenders go unpunished.

The procuratorate didn't want to make a big deal out of it and refused to give him the power to mobilize a large amount of manpower and resources to continue the investigation, so he investigated it in his own way.

To alert the snake!

As a Tiannan family, every move of the Yue family can attract the attention of the entire Tiannan top leadership.

His open visit to the Yue family to investigate Yulong International undoubtedly proved his attitude.

A senior prosecutor, does that mean he has a lot of power?

His rank is not even as high as that of a deputy county magistrate.

But it’s not light either.

Because this system allows him to hear directly from the heavens!

If anyone hiding in the dark learns what he has done, they will definitely take action against him next.

in other words……

He's fishing with himself!
Lure the enemy into taking the bait!

The reason for doing this...

Not for anything else!

Simply because he has the confidence to do so.

He is Xia Wuyuan!
The master of the time, the ultimate martial artist Xia Wuyuan!

only hope……

Those who hide in the dark should not be too timid or too cautious.

It’s better to be more arrogant.

Otherwise, this fishing operation will have to continue until new clues are found.

……

Almost at the moment when this thought came into his mind, he seemed to notice something out of the corner of his eye.

The next moment, he suddenly turned the steering wheel and stepped on the accelerator.

"Zizi!"

Before Ye Yuhe could react, a dump truck passed by their car almost right next to it.

"Sit tight!"

Xia Wuyuan's voice suddenly rang out.

When Ye Yuhe looked up in shock, another mixer truck came roaring at a speed that should not be seen in the city. As her eyes widened suddenly, the truck body swung suddenly.

Fortunately, her reaction speed was extremely fast, and she grabbed her surroundings and maintained her balance in the first time.

But even so, when the third off-road vehicle came into view, she still felt a violent shock all over her body, as if she was flying.

The rear of the car was completely shattered by the violent impact and turned into iron pieces.

At this moment, she could clearly see the expressionless face and inhuman eyes of the driver of the SUV opposite.

"Brother!"

Ye Yuhe exclaimed!
But Xia Wuyuan drove the car suddenly into another narrow lane, and then stepped on the brakes.

"Hide inside and don't come out!"

He growled and burst into speed, chasing after the SUV like a cheetah.

Ye Yuhe thought of the off-road vehicle driver's cold eyes, and had a bad premonition in her heart, and couldn't help but scream.

"don't want……"

But Xia Wuyuan, who was running at full speed, was so fast that he disappeared from her sight in an instant.

……

The lanterns are on.

In a booth in a bar, a woman who looked 70% similar to Su Yaoyu, but more cool and powerful, was holding a ladies' cigarette and exhaling smoke slowly.

She frowned and remained silent.

"What's wrong, my second young lady?"

At this time, a girl with a cute hairpin, bangs, and a white dress, who looked extremely pure and lovely, sat down with a bag on her shoulder.

The woman looked like a good girl, but after sitting down, she took out a cigarette and lit it skillfully.

At the same time, he said, "I called you but you didn't answer. If I didn't know you well, I might not be able to find you here."

The woman looked at her and said nothing.

"Let me guess, what made our President Su so worried... is most likely something about your family? What's going on? What has your aunt done to you again?"

"Not her."

woman……

Her surname is Su and her given name is Yaoxue.

It turned out to be Su Huaifeng's second daughter.

The only younger generation in Su Huaifeng's lineage who is barely presentable.

At the age of 24, she started a video production company with the 10 million yuan provided by Su Huaifeng and her own savings of several million. In just three years, she increased the company's value nearly tenfold to over 100 million yuan.

A true business elite.

"It's Su Yaoguang. Yaoyu asked me to come over for dinner."

"Su Yaoguang?"

The woman dressed like a good girl was a little confused: "Who is this? Who is from the Su family?"

"Su Huaifeng has two sons. Which one are you talking about?"

Su Yaoxue gave her a sidelong glance.

"he?"

The woman seemed to have just remembered something and was a little surprised: "He's back? Isn't he a noble man? Why is he back at this time?"

"Su Huaifeng is dying, he has to come back to take a look, right?"

Su Yaoxue was not surprised at all.

"Oh, I see. He wants to divide up some of the assets, so you will have less assets? I remember that your company is planning to accelerate its expansion and needs a lot of funds. His coming here will cause some uncertainty?"

The woman suddenly realized.

Su Yaoxue didn't say anything.

Unlike Su Yaoyu who visited Su Yaoguang from time to time, she had only met this younger brother a few times and did not have a deep impression of him.

In addition, she and Su Yaoguang have the same father but different mothers and do not live together, so naturally her relationship is not as strong as that of Su Yaoyu and the others.

"It would be best if I could get a share of Su Huaifeng's legacy, but if I can't, I don't care."

"You are so stubborn, you will suffer sooner or later. In fact, I think that the Buzhou Group is so big, you might as well just find a class there like your sister did, and rely on your identity as a member of the Su family..."

Before the woman finished speaking, she was interrupted by Su Yaoxue: "The mountain you rely on is the mountain that falls. Everyone in the Su family relies on the Buzhou Group for their livelihood. If the Buzhou Group collapses one day, will the whole family be left to starve?"

She thought about the current situation of Buzhou Group.

If something really happened, I would have some assets, at least...

I won’t let that stupid elder sister and naive younger sister go without even a meal.

"You still have to eat northwest wind?"

The woman shook her head: "Besides, how could such a big Buzhou Group collapse so easily? You just can't save face. Are you going to cut off ties with your family just because of that incident?"

Su Yaoxue blew out a smoke ring lightly: "In this life, you must fight for a way out on your own, especially for us women. If we don't have the ability, no matter when or where we go, we will be looked down upon, and even used as tools, used and trampled at will, without any dignity."

The woman said: "That's not easy... I think it's easier to rely on my family. If it weren't for my family, how could I carry a bag worth tens of thousands of yuan or drive a luxury car worth millions of yuan?"

"Everyone's choices are different, but in this era, incompetence is the greatest sin."

Su Yaoxue stood up and said, "I like this sentence very much. I would rather be twisted like a maggot than be humble like dust."

"That's not what you mean..."

As the woman spoke, she seemed to have remembered something, and said with some surprise: "If he can share part of your father's fortune, wouldn't he immediately have a fortune of billions? Otherwise, take me with you and introduce him to me when the time comes?"

"you?"

Su Yaoxue glanced at her.

The woman immediately put out the cigarette, adjusted her bangs, and turned into a dignified and lovely look: "Sister Ran Qiu, nice to meet you, elder sister."

"You can't. Stop bringing bad guys."

"No, think about it. Your brother has never been exposed to the upper class life. If no one takes care of him, he will be cheated of all the money he gets from being poor and suddenly rich. He may even develop bad habits. If I take him to play, at least he won't go astray. Although I smoke, drink, go to bars, and have tattoos, I am a good girl..."

"Shut up, you."

Su Yaoxue interrupted unceremoniously: "Besides, as far as I know, he has no ability, and he is not the type you like."

"I don't allow you to say that about my brother Yaoguang. He is so rich, how can he be incompetent?"

The woman, Ran Qiu, was a little excited: "Besides, your family's genes shouldn't be too bad, right? I might even make a profit."

Su Yaoxue ignored her and went straight out of the bar and went to the hotel address sent by Su Yaoyu.
