Pure Yang!

Chapter 157 Advanced Person Zhang Fan! Li Yishan's Stepmother
The next day, Taoyuan Square.

As soon as Zhang Fan arrived at the company, he was called to Bai Bu Ran's office. There was a thick stack of documents on the table.

"I am convinced. I am really convinced. What on earth are you reincarnated into?"

Bai Bu Ran rubbed his temple, put one hand on the thick document, and his eyes were bloodshot.

Normally, a Taoist like him, with such a high level of cultivation, would still be vigorous and full of vitality even if he stayed up for three days and three nights. However, after just one night, he became so haggard, obviously having exhausted a lot of his energy.

Last night, Bai Bu Ran's phone was almost blown up by calls. There were four or five calls from the Jiangnan Provincial Dao Alliance, naturally asking about the relationship between Ye Bu Liang and Candy Crush Saga.

Even though Bai Bu Ran tried his best to clarify that the two only had business dealings, he was still invited to the Taoist Alliance for tea.

By the early morning, the phone calls from Zhenwu Mountain had never stopped. After all, Candy Crush was an industry under the name of Zhenwu Mountain. Now that such a big thing had happened, and it involved Zhang Fan, who was always busy at night, they naturally wanted to get to the bottom of it.

"I just don't understand, why would you appear there when the Jiangnan Provincial Dao Alliance is arresting people?"

Bai Bu Ran covered his face with his hands, feeling his head buzzing as if it were splitting.

Ever since Zhang Fan came to Ye Buliang, Bai Bu Ran, the boss, has often been called over by relevant departments for tea and talks. He now even has an illusion that something has happened to his family's ancestral grave, which has led to his bad luck this year.

"I said I was taking a walk in the middle of the night and ended up there when I got distracted. Is this explanation reasonable?"

"If you walk a few more steps, you'll be out of Yujing City!"

Bai Bu Ran glanced at him sideways, then raised his hand and threw the thick stack of information in front of Zhang Fan.

"You have made a big splash this time. Zhenwu Mountain will send someone to Shangjing City to attend the briefing held by the Dao League headquarters."

"Ah? Should I go?" Zhang Fan was stunned. He didn't expect this matter to have such a big impact.

But it makes sense if you think about it. After all, it is related to the [Three Corpses Yuandan]. This thing is the backup of the soul left by the Three Corpses Taoist. Although it has no consciousness itself, once it is combined with the human soul, it has the possibility of revival and transformation.

Zhang Fan's mind raced. He would have to go to Shangjing sooner or later, but not now, and in this way...

You know, he has a lot of secrets, and he can't stand investigation. What if something goes wrong...

Zhang Fan’s matter, if not weighed, would weigh less than 4 taels, but if weighed, it would weigh more than 1,000 kilograms.

Just looking at his family background, whether it is his parents or not, it would be a huge shock to the world, not to mention that he himself has many shameful secrets.

"You don't have to go for now." Bai Buran looked at Zhang Fan meaningfully.

Zhang Fan was well protected at Zhenwu Mountain.

Bai Bu Ran obtained the information through a special channel, and informed the Jiangnan Provincial Dao Alliance. He deliberately downplayed the existence and role of Zhang Fan and only talked about the issues of Candy Crush and Meng Qingtong.

In this regard, Bai Bu Ran didn't know whether Zhenwu Mountain protected Zhang Fan so much because he had integrated the Zhenwu Jade Certificate, or there were other reasons.

"That's good."

Zhang Fan breathed a sigh of relief. He had been acting bravely to help others, but if he had to go to Shangjing City for this, it would be an unexpected disaster.

"By the way, if you have nothing to do in the morning, why don't you go to the Jiangnan Provincial Alliance."

Bai Bu Ran stared at Zhang Fan and brought his thoughts back to reality with just one sentence.

"Is there anything else?" Zhang Fan's face was slightly serious.

These days, he tried to keep a low profile and show up less often, especially at the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League, where he would avoid going if possible.

"Meng Qingtong has caused such a big mess that he can't continue to be the curator." Bai Bu Ran said lightly.

"Zhenwu Mountain wants you to serve as the director first."

After these words were spoken, Zhang Fan was stunned for a moment, and then his eyes lit up.

He had heard from Liu Xingyu that Xiaoxiaole Funeral Home paid more than 30 million yuan in taxes every year. Where else could they burn people to death to make so much money? If he were to become the director...

"That's not right..." Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows and quickly realized the problem.

"After such a big incident, Can Candy Crush can still be run?"

Last night, the Xiaoxiaole Funeral Home was sealed off by the Jiangnan Provincial Alliance. Judging from the situation, it is estimated that it will not be open for a while.

"Of course we can't continue to operate. We are now closed for rectification. But the employees in the museum are still here and are under your management." Bai Bu Ran said lightly.

"I just wanted to know how good things could happen to me." Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes, speechless.

The employees of Candy Crush are just...

"The two brothers of the Liu family?" Zhang Fan asked with a strange look on his face.

He had a very good impression of the brothers Liu Xingyu and Liu Xingchui. On that day in the Candy Crush game, they were the first to attack Meng Qingtong. Although they claimed to be upholding justice and assisting the Taoist Alliance, the main reason was to clear themselves.

Just this kind of cleverness is enough to make him a talent.

In addition, the cultivation of these two brothers is also not weak. They both practice Taoist fire methods. Liu Xingyu's [Jianggong Lihuo] and Liu Xingchui's [One Inch Ding Fire] are both true teachings from Zhenwu Mountain.

"These two brothers are quite talented. They were supposed to go down the mountain to train for two years to hone their character. They will be well cultivated after they return."

Bai Bushan pointed at the file in Zhang Fan's hand. After opening it, what came into view was the information of Liu Xingyu and Liu Xingchui.

"Now that something like this has happened, they can't return to Zhenwu Mountain for the time being."

"Do they have any questions?" Zhang Fan asked casually while looking at the information in his hand.

"It seems there is no problem now." Bai Bu Ran said in a serious tone.

Last night, the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League interrogated the two brothers all night and even used some means that could not be seen in public. At present, it seems that they are clean.

But this matter cannot be resolved in a short period of time. During the review period, their activities are restricted.

"So, you will be in charge of supervision." Bai Bu Ran said lightly.

"Me?" Zhang Fan raised his eyebrows.

“Why put me in charge?”

"You were the one who took down Candy Crush Saga yourself. You are their direct supervisor now."

Bai Bushan pointed at the document in Zhang Fan's hand and turned two pages, and it turned out to be his appointment letter.

"Don't you think about it? Once you get involved in something like this, you can't just tell the black from the white with just your mouth." Bai Bushan stopped there.

The interests involved are self-evident. How many blames, how many favors, how many involvements... often have nothing to do with the truth. Behind Zhang Fan's back, I don't know how many times Zhenwu Mountain has cleaned up his mess.

Now, it is only right for him to put in some effort and bring the person back.

"I understand."

Zhang Fan nodded. His mind was no longer the same as before.

"Before this matter is settled, keep an eye on them. Otherwise, it will be troublesome if the Taoist Alliance comes to you and you can't hand them over," Bai Bu Ran reminded.

"understood."

Zhang Fan nodded, took the documents and went out, and immediately set off for the Jiangnan Provincial Alliance.

When they arrived at the place, Sui Chunsheng personally received Zhang Fan and handled the formalities for him.

"It's all thanks to you this time, otherwise last night would have been too dangerous."

Seeing that there was no one around, Sui Chunsheng muttered softly.

Last night, twenty to thirty people from the Jiangnan Provincial Alliance went there. If Meng Qingtong were to be taken care of in one fell swoop, Lou Hechuan would definitely be blamed for such a big accident. If he made such a mistake before retiring, it would not only ruin his reputation in later years.

To put it bluntly, behind closed doors, the president of the Jiangnan Provincial Taoist Alliance should thank Zhang Fan's eight generations of ancestors.

"Don't just thank you verbally."

Zhang Fan had already figured out the tactics of the Jiangnan Provincial Dao Alliance. He no longer pretended to be polite and went straight to the point.

"I submitted a report for you last night."

As he spoke, Sui Chunsheng stuffed an envelope into Zhang Fan's hand. The latter weighed it and found that it was indeed a lot richer than last time, so he opened it and took a look.

3000 yuan in cash is indeed more than double the reward, and there is no supermarket voucher to make up the difference.

However, the Dao Alliance is a large and powerful organization, and compared to Zhang Fan's performance last night, the 3000 yuan bonus is a bit too little.

"The bonus comes second..." Sui Chunsheng looked at Zhang Fan with envy and patted his shoulder.

"You are very lucky."

Zhang Fan's heart moved and he couldn't help but ask.

"Anything else?"

"Look over there." Sui Chunsheng pointed casually. Zhang Fan looked up and saw Zhan Xinyue coming towards him holding a banner with the words:

Jiangnan Province Yujing City Daomen Advanced Individual Honor. "..."

"I knew it." Zhang Fan narrowed his eyes.

"Within one month, you have been awarded two honorary titles. You are now considered a big figure in the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League." Sui Chunsheng said enviously.

You have to know that in an organization like the Daomeng, if you want to climb up, you must rely on your connections, your abilities, and your seniority.

These banners and honors may seem useless, but they can be very useful when the time comes to move positions.

"I'm not one of yours." Zhang Fan curled his lips and muttered in his heart.

"Brother Fan, congratulations."

Zhan Xinyue solemnly handed the banner to Zhang Fan, her eyes full of envy.

They wanted to improve so much, but they didn't have the strength and luck like Zhang Fan.

"..."

"Um...how is Ma Buting?" Zhang Fan, holding the banner in his pocket, changed the subject.

Last night, he saw Ma Buting being carried away and he was only breathing his last breath.

"I don't know whether to say he is lucky or unlucky."

Sui Chunsheng moved his mouth and couldn't help but said, "I think Meng Qingtong wanted to absorb his soul, so he avoided the vital points and saved his life, but his injuries were too serious..."

"I'm afraid it will take a long time to recover."

The blow to the chest was so severe that even if the person didn't die, his ancestral grave would be filled with sorrow.

Ma Buting can be said to have had a bad year. As a disciple of the Three Emperors Sect and a young talent specially recruited by the Jiangnan Province Taoist Alliance, after arriving in Yujing City, he has been plagued by bad luck one after another.

Zhang Fan almost roasted the old house of the Zhang family. He had just recovered from a serious injury and was promoted to a high-ranking official. He thought that he was in high spirits and was full of energy. But...

"His luck seems to be getting worse and worse after he was promoted to a high-ranking official." Zhan Xinyue couldn't help but say.

"Don't talk nonsense." Sui Chunsheng said in a deep voice: "He was also injured on duty."

"It's good to be alive." Zhang Fan couldn't help but laugh out loud.

After chatting for a while, the Liu brothers were finally dragged out and handed over to Zhang Fan.

"I'll leave the person to you." Sui Chunsheng said as if hinting at something.

"Thanks."

Zhang Fan understood what he meant, said hello, and led Liu Xingyu and Liu Xingchui out of the Jiangnan Provincial Dao League compound.

On the way, he told the two of them about the decision made by Zhenwu Mountain.

"we know."

Liu Xingchui listened to Zhang Fan's words and nodded: "I already talked to the door last night."

"Can you still make phone calls in there?" Zhang Fanqi asked.

"We are just assisting in the investigation now." Liu Xingyu couldn't help but defend himself.

"All right."

Liu Xingchui raised his hand and interrupted him: "Anyway, I have to thank Brother Fan for helping me last night. Otherwise, we don't know whether we would be dead or alive now."

"From now on, we will follow Brother Fan."

I have to say that the older brother sees things much more clearly than the younger brother, and even calls him by his given name very smoothly.

Liu Xingyu was stunned for a moment. Under Liu Xingchui's glare, he said with some discomfort: "Brother Fan..."

"Okay, you guys go back first. I'll take care of you if there's anything." Zhang Fan nodded.

Needless to say, the Liu brothers' skills are very skilled. They practice Taoist true fire and are considered first-rate masters in Yujing City. The most important thing is that they come from famous and upright families.

Although Zhang Fan already has two little demons, Shi Shougong and Su Shiyu, under his command, their identities are sensitive after all. It is okay to use them secretly, but in some occasions, if manpower is needed, he might really need the two brothers of the Liu family.

"Goodbye, Brother Fan." Liu Xingchui maintained a serious attitude and watched Zhang Fan leave.

"Brother, what's going on now? Meng Qingtong is finished, and we should follow him?" Liu Xingyu couldn't help but muttering as he looked at Zhang Fan's receding back.

"This is our only choice now." Liu Xingchui said meaningfully.

Something happened to Meng Qingtong, and they were also implicated. After all, they were also members of Candy Crush. Now it's like yellow mud falling off their crotch. Even if they are finally found innocent and return to the mountain, their resumes will not look good. It is still unknown whether they can be taken seriously.

Only at this time, Liu Xingchui seemed to have seen the bleak future of the two brothers.

However, Zhang Fan gave him a glimmer of hope.

Needless to say, this person's strength and cultivation were great. He was able to kill Meng Qingtong in that state. His Taoism was so strong that even the two brothers could only admit defeat. The most important thing was that, as the last person to come into contact with Meng Qingtong, he was able to escape unscathed, without being isolated or investigated. Zhenwu Mountain even handed them over to Zhang Fan...

This is very telling.

Liu Xingchui guessed that although he had never heard of a figure like Zhang Fan in Zhenwu Mountain before, his identity and status in Zhenwu Mountain was definitely not simple.

Since there are no other choices, it is better to follow him and go all the way to the end. Maybe you can survive and find another turning point.

"If it is useful to pay homage to the mountain leader, he is the only mountain leader we can rely on." Liu Xingchui whispered and looked at Liu Xingyu meaningfully.

"Silly brother, put away your other thoughts."

As he spoke, Liu Xingchui patted Liu Xingyu on the shoulder, turned around and left.

……

At this time, Zhang Fan took a detour and came to Rongyang Square two streets away. He and Li Yishan had agreed to have lunch here at noon.

"I'm here, where are you?"

Zhang Fan took out his cell phone and sent a message to Li Yishan.

"I'm already here, on the corner."

Li Yishan’s message was replied almost instantly.

Zhang Fan looked up and saw a Maibahe parked on the street corner. The door opened and Li Yishan jumped out. He saw Zhang Fan from a distance and waved and greeted him.

"Who sent you here?" Zhang Fan couldn't help but ask as he looked at the car.

"Mother Yun!" Li Yishan said casually.

Zhang Fan knew that when Li Yishan was very young, his father married another woman, who was considered his stepmother. After his father died, he was raised by his stepmother.

Li Yishan calls his stepmother Yunma, presumably because there should be a "Yun" in her name.

"I suddenly thought of a question." Zhang Fan said seriously.

"What's the problem?" Li Yishan asked.

"Why don't you call my stepmother stepmom?" Zhang Fan asked puzzledly.

Li Yishan was stunned and squinted his eyes and asked, "If the stepmother is called stepmom? Then what is the stepfather called?"

"Of course it's called..." Zhang Fan stopped talking abruptly, and then laughed: "It's okay, it's okay, let's eat, eat..."

As he spoke, Zhang Fan hooked his arm around Li Yishan's shoulder and walked into Rongyang Square.

At this time, the Maibaha car at the corner of the street slowly drove away, and the rearview mirror inside the car reflected a graceful, slim and beautiful young woman.

"Sister Yun, that woman has returned to Yujing City. Young Master should know about this. She met Meng Qingtong from Candy Crush a few days ago."

At this moment, a middle-aged man in a neat suit turned around and said.

"Interesting, she still has the nerve to come back?"

From the back seat, the lazy voice sounded slowly, with a hint of mockery.

"Now that you're back, you don't have to leave."

The beautiful woman's slender fingers flicked lightly, but her voice became as cold as frost.

"Sister Yun means..."

"Li Linglang, she probably wants to die in Yujing City."

The car window slowly opened, the wind whistled, blowing up the messy black hair and slowly suppressing the cold voice.
