I Am Your Natural Enemy

Chapter 1104 - 396: Retaliation, Hot-Swapping (5k)_2

He could probably guess that this hot-blooded man never intended to negotiate with those chaotic guys and had planned to report it directly.

This person had a fiery temper, always rushing into things. According to records, he was somewhat impulsive and had several complaints due to being too rash.

He was someone who would never compromise, and being killed in such a radical way by the other party was the most likely truth.

The General Director closed the dossier; it still needed to be investigated.

But other matters that needed to be done still had to be addressed.

To put it bluntly, what they needed to do now was reciprocal retaliation, whether there was an additional debt or not, it still had to be done.

Looking at the information of the other three people, they were slightly different from the one in Nanwu County.

The one from Guanzhong County was a filial son. Before his mother passed away, he was very hesitant and, in the end, did not take that step.

After she died, he began to regret it. Then, after she became a Ghost, he continued to keep his mother at home.

Unfortunately, he had no idea that his mother was no longer who she used to be.

She hadn’t become a normal Ghost, and her temperament had greatly changed, step by step emotionally manipulating this internal staff member onto the path of espionage.

The internal staff from Caiyun County was quite similar to the one from Nanwu County.

Her son had an accident and became a vegetative person. They said there was a chance of awakening, but after three years, there has been no recovery. She was reluctant to let go.

Three months ago, her son finally awakened, but he became somewhat foolish, forgetting most things.

The internal staff from Magic Capital also had a similar situation, creating a vulnerability first and then exploiting it.

Although her position was not high, her department was related to the warehouse, and she knew quite a bit of information.

The intelligence leaked by these three was not much and not particularly critical.

After being filtered out and having a conversation, they confessed. Having worked in the Scorching Sun Department for a long time, they knew that if there was no hard evidence, they typically wouldn’t be directly questioned about specific matters alone.

Once specific matters were addressed, it meant that they were definitely compromised.

Follow-up matters have already been invited for a visit from experts related to the Three Mountains and Five Ridges.

Today, one has already drawn a conclusion. The internal staff’s Ghost mother from Guanzhong County has been confirmed by a big shot from Qingcheng. Her soul body seems unchanged, but the consciousness within has long been distorted beyond recognition, likely implanted with something using evil magic.

The General Director closed the latest intelligence, considered for a moment, and summoned the secretary.

"Is there a suitable pretext to send someone to Nanyang recently?"

"There happens to be an economic conference over there, with some undisclosed topics related to this year’s accelerated Spiritual Qi Resurgence. The Scorching Sun Department can send someone to attend."

"It should be suitable for the Taoist priests of the Three Mountains and Five Ridges."

"There is also one of a scholarly exchange type of meeting. The Three Mountains and Five Ridges should have received invitations two months ago, but they usually don’t attend. Last year, Wudang sent two juniors; the year before, Qingcheng did, but Mount Laojun never bothered."

"Communicate with them to organize a video meeting at a suitable time. There are Evil Path demon manifestations there that need to be cleaned out."

"Understood."

Two hours later, a temporary video conference began.

The General Director briefly explained the situation, intending to ask the people from the Three Mountains and Five Ridges to take action.

For the Scorching Sun Department to directly go to Nanyang to eliminate Evil Path adherents was not very appropriate.

But when people from the Three Mountains and Five Ridges attended the scholarly meeting and accidentally encountered some Evil Path members and removed the demon by accident, the Scorching Sun Department could then step in and continue the matter.

This was the most appropriate way to show attitude without making an official move.

The participants all had no issue, having long been unhappy with the Evil Path members bouncing around in Nanyang.

Wudang immediately stated that since there were traces of a demon, they could eliminate a demon and no one could complain.

Things were smoothly set; Mount Mao, Qingcheng, and Wudang would all send people.

If it weren’t really inappropriate, even the Wudang Sect Leader wanted to personally go.

...

Wei Jing returned to Virtue City, stopping and going along the way, also purchasing some specialty herbs from places he passed by.

Upon returning to Virtue City, he wasn’t in a rush to start treatment but first processed the herbs.

Fortunately, these herbs weren’t suitable to steep, so processing them would only take two or three days.

There was no urgency in prescribing or boiling the medicine. Upon seeing the little girl’s change in complexion and Wen Yan bringing fried chicken, Wei Jing understood what was going on.

"The problem isn’t big, just keep taking the medicine properly."

They were just taking the pulse when Wen Yan’s phone rang.

Wen Yan walked outside to answer the call.

"Hello, Feng Yao, what’s up?"

"We have preliminarily screened four people here; three are still alive, and one, who was rather brave, has already sacrificed."

"So quick? Are they all the same situation?"

"The nature is about the same, but the specific situations are slightly different."

Feng Yao roughly explained the matter to Wen Yan, who scratched his head while listening. Wow, he had previously thought it was just utilizing the living, not realizing their ideas were so broad, even turning to use the dead.

"Being able to dig it out is a good thing, stopping the loss in time."

"There’s something I want to discuss with you, to get your opinion."

"Go ahead."
