Mechanical Pioneer Under One Person

Zhang Chulan frowned and thought for a moment, then showed the phone screen to Wang Ye and said, "Master Wang, you know this person too. He was with us during the Luotian Grand Ceremony, Liu Ke."

"I don't know if you're impressed, but..."

"If anyone could find the person behind this with those 'rubbish' clues, it would be him."

Wang Ye looked at Zhang Chulan's gradually serious expression and frowned. He didn't know why Zhang Chulan said all this, so he was waiting for Zhang Chulan to get to the point.

Seeing that he had listened, Zhang Chulan continued, "But he has a problem. At least, according to Fourth Brother, if he gets angry, the power is equivalent to a 'nuclear bomb', but he can't stand injustice."

"If you tell him everything about you, he'll probably make a big fuss about it."

Zhang Chulan paused, then continued, "So, my suggestion is... I'll downplay the situation and just focus on finding the real culprit."

Wang Ye understood immediately after hearing this, nodded, and said, "I see. Just make up your mind."

Zhang Chulan heaved a sigh of relief when he heard this and said, "You are the employer this time. Although there are solutions, I still have to ask for your opinion on which one to choose, right?"

After saying that, Zhang Chulan put his phone back and wanted to make a call, but in the end, he thought about it and changed his mind to send a WeChat message to Liu Ke.

Seeing this, Zhuge Qing, who had been silent for a long time, asked, "Send a text message? Will he be able to see it in time?"

Zhang Chulan edited the greeting and 'request for help' content and replied: "Him? Of course he can!"

"Well, you may not believe it, but he actually has a personal 'butler' who helps him take care of mundane matters."

"That's why I sent you a text message. According to what we just chatted about, he's probably in Beijing right now watching a concert."

"With text messages, there's no need for real-time communication. He might just hand this matter over to his 'housekeeper' and get it done easily."

"Because if he asks me about it over the phone, I'll have to make up some lies to fool him."

About a few minutes later, Zhang Chulan concealed the matter and sent the text message directly to Liu Ke.

At the Bird's Nest, Liu Ke, who was listening to Japanese singer Aya Hirano, suddenly heard the prompt of the black wall.

"Master, your friend Zhang Chulan sent you a text message."

Liu Ke blinked and asked directly, "A text message? What did it say?"

"Based on the content of his text message, he hopes you can help him search for someone based on the clues he provided. Based on the content of the text message, it can be inferred that this person has violated Nadutong's management requirements for aliens."

Liu Ke simply said "Oh" and didn't take it seriously. Then he said in his mind: "I know, just help him."

"Okay, master."

Yaoxing Society, a folk supernatural group that has just emerged in the domestic supernatural circle in recent years, is ostensibly a non-profit "public welfare organization."

Although its influence is small, and in terms of funds, it can only survive by raising funds from those wealthy and extraordinary people who have made a name for themselves in society, as well as through information intermediary consulting business, but...

What cannot be ignored is that this force has grown into an intelligence dealer on the same level as [Xiaozhan].

Perhaps compared to the small inns in the underworld where every detail can be found, Yaoxing Society lacks in the depth of its intelligence capabilities, but its breadth is commendable.

The reason for saying this is because Yaoxing Society has additional reconnaissance arrangements abroad and has in-depth knowledge of foreign intelligence.

Moreover, through apps and other means, based on regular and free news broadcasts, this emerging force has occupied a certain "market" in the alien circle and taken root.

Intelligence is like this. When there is an audience, there are customers, and value is created during the exchange.

It is worth mentioning that for Yaoxing Society, in this type of intelligence work, obtaining intelligence itself is the most important thing, while the act of "selling" to obtain funds is a disguise and a protective color.

After all, how could Qu Tong, who possesses the [Shuangquan Hand] that can easily mess with people's minds, be short of money?

Money? To her, it was just a number, just a material thing she needed to maintain her 'goal'.

However, even with such financial resources and intelligence capabilities, Yaoxing Society is not able to find out everything.

For example, the name 'Liu Ke'.

……

"So, is this just...official information?"

In a room somewhere in Biyou Village, Qu Tong, who had not yet left the village, was communicating with his "members" through his mobile phone.

After she asked the question, there was an immediate reply from the other end of the phone. It was a female voice.

"President, although I feel helpless, this is the result. The level of investigation on my side has already reached its limit."

"Perhaps... your 'chess piece' who travels everywhere might know."

Upon hearing this, Qu Tong, perhaps tired, put down her phone, pressed the hands-free button, and said calmly, "After all, is the public competition at Luotian Dajiao the only thing that can be considered intelligence?"

After thinking for a moment, Qu Tong asked again, "What about Quan Xing? Given their outspoken personalities, there should be someone willing to speak up, right?"

The voice on the other end of the line responded quickly, saying, "...rarely. According to rumors, Liu Ke has faced Quan Xing at least twice."

"I won't talk about the incident at Longhu Mountain this time, as you, President, know all about it. As for the other incident, all we know is that it took place in a village called Wujiagou, where we faced off against Quan Xing."

"However, surprisingly, no news about him has been circulated."

"The Four Crazy Ones should have been there, but those four... well, now there are three of them, and they're the type that won't cooperate. As for the ordinary Quan Xing, no one leaked any information..."

"If we follow the intelligence room's deduction and make a hasty guess, then almost all of the Quan Xings who fought him in Wujiagou are dead or have been captured."

Hearing this, Qu Tong couldn't help but frown and said nothing more.

The female voice on the other side, after a pause of more than ten breaths, asked, "President, because of that Chen Duo... Ma Xianhong has now entered the company's sights."

"If the company could just tear Biyou Village apart, wouldn't that be a good thing for you? Why are you worrying so much?"

After hearing this, Qu Tong couldn't help but hum lightly and said, "It's just to avoid getting out of control."

After that, she picked up her phone again, pulled up Liu Ke's photo, and squinted her eyes and said, "It's too clean, just like... those temporary workers."

"No...even, more secretive than those temporary workers?"

After a pause, Qu Tong said, "Continue the investigation and raise his rating to the highest level."

After she finished speaking, a surprised voice of a subordinate came from the phone, asking, "Top leader? Isn't that a bit too high? Our total resources can only sustain..."

But before the other party could finish his words, Qu Tong interrupted and said, "Just do as I say. If the resources are insufficient, I will find a way."

After saying that, she turned her head and looked at the photo of Liu Ke again, frowning and muttering to herself, "I haven't experienced this kind of... sudden discomfort for a long time."

In an abandoned building somewhere in BJ, Zhang Chulan, Wang Ye, and others were waiting for a reply. It had been about five minutes since Zhang Chulan sent a message to Liu Ke.

Perhaps the stimulation of his family being in danger was too strong, Wang Ye's heart seemed to be poisoned, and he was extremely anxious. He could only choose to sit cross-legged in meditation to calm his mood.

Actually...it's not his fault.

Wang Ye, Taoist Master Wang, this outstanding disciple of the former Wudang Mountain, learned about the "future" of Zhang Chulan of Longhu Mountain through the method of inner vision half a month ago, and then entered the secular world.

He defeated Zhuge Qing with Fenghou Qimen in the Luotian Grand Ceremony, warding off disaster for the old Heavenly Master and preventing trouble for the entire alien world. But the price...

That is, he had no choice but to be swept along by the torrent of the secular world, and it would be difficult for him to return to peace and tranquility.

Among the spectators at the Luotian Grand Ceremony, there were naturally those with exceptional discernment and profound knowledge. Just as Village Chief Ma Xianhong was able to deduce his mastery of the Eight Great Skills through Wang Ye's methods, others could naturally do the same.

Therefore, even before Wang Ye left Longhu Mountain, a group of strange people appeared around him, wanting to capture and surround him and learn the secrets of the Eight Wonders...

The pursuit and escape led them from Jiangxi to Wang Ye’s hometown - Beijing.

However, on the other hand, Taoist Wang Ye was a highly skilled warrior, and naturally, he was not someone that mediocre fighters could mess with. He had escaped unscathed after several encounters.

The rogues and idlers hired to find the secrets of the Eight Wonders seemed to have been fooled into losing their minds and no longer cared about the moral principles of the underworld. They then set their sights on his family...

Of course, Nadutong has been entrenched in the domestic superhuman world for so many years, and he can be looked down upon, but he definitely cannot be ignored.

Also under the pressure of Nadutong, no one dares to directly attack Wang Ye's family, but "pranks" and "dirty tricks" are constantly emerging.

At present, the group of idlers were relying on intimidation like gangsters and scoundrels to make Taoist Wang Ye sweat coldly.

After all, Nadutong's rules are indeed quite intimidating, but there are people who follow the rules, and there are people who don't. Following the rules now doesn't mean that the other party will always follow the rules.

Taoist Wang thought carefully and realized that it was impossible to guard against thieves for a thousand days. So, he spent a lot of money to hire the well-known "Bilian Zhenren" to solve the problem.

Zhang Chulan was no mediocre person. In just a few days, he had a clear understanding of everyone around Wang Ye. Including the people in this building, he had already caught three groups of people who were following Wang Ye's family.

Previously, they used the cell phone messages carried by one of the group members to directly find out one of the "unsuspecting" masterminds behind the scenes, Wang Ai, one of the Ten Lords.

As for the people behind the other two groups, the company's crude methods could not be used to find out. Even the two groups themselves did not know who their employer was, which put them in a difficult position.

That's why they looked for Liu Ke.

……

"Old Zhang, can Liu Ke really do it?"

After a few minutes, Wang Ye, who was wearing a baseball cap, could no longer maintain his meditation. After wiping his face twice, he turned his head and couldn't help asking Zhang Chulan.

Zhang Chulan was also bored, so he leaned against the wall. He tossed the hammer up and down several times before saying, "Why are you in such a hurry? I've already told you, if anyone can find out what's going on with those few clues, it can only be him."

"But, no matter what I say, Xiao Ke is not a god. Even if he can find it, it will take some effort."

"Will it take one, two, or three days? It's all possible. But... we only have a few clues, so there's nothing we can do except wait."

"If we don't find the mastermind behind this, no matter how many we arrest... even just these lackeys, it's useless! You should know the principle of capturing the leader first. Taoist Wang Ye, you should know..."

Just as he said these words of comfort, a text message came from Zhang Chulan's mobile phone. As soon as the notification sounded, Zhuge Qing, Wang Ye and even Feng Baobao came over and looked at Zhang Chulan's mobile phone screen.

Zhang Chulan's face twitched, but he put his phone in his arms and said, "Why are you in such a hurry? What if it's not a reply, but a private message from me?"

After saying that, he shrank his body and looked at the content of the text message on his mobile phone.

After reading it, Zhang Chulan looked at Wang Ye with a rather strange and pitying look.

Then, he handed over the phone and said, "Xiao Ke... found the person behind the scenes. This person is also one of the Ten Lords, Chen Jinkui from the Shuzi Sect."

"Master Wang, should I say your tricks are attractive enough? Or should I say you have bad luck? Those who play tricks on you are not easy to deal with..."

Chapter 160: Seeking Death is Nature

"Chen Jinkui, Master Kui... indeed, each of them is a prominent figure."

Wang Ye looked at the mastermind who was exposed for "watching" his family, and couldn't help but put his hand on his forehead, and took out the thermos and took a big gulp of water.

Somehow, his posture was quite heroic, as if the content in the cup was not water, but the "three bowls of wine without crossing the pass" on Jingyang Ridge, or the "warm wine" in front of Hulao Pass.

Seeing his attitude, Zhang Chulan quickly patted his shoulder and said, "Hey, don't look so grim. It's not a critical moment."

After hearing this, Wang Ye waved his hand and just sighed lightly.
