Chapter 1179: Drawing the Net
At the highest levels of the Daoist Order, effort was the least noteworthy factor, not because it was unimportant, but because it was the most basic prerequisite. No one could become the Grand Master with ease. Even prodigies such as Li Changge and Yao Pei were no exception. If one did not strive for the best, there would be no shortage of others who were willing to work doubly hard.
Qi Xuansu was very diligent. He had little leisure time. The last time he went to see an opera with Zhang Yuelu was several years ago, when he was still just an ordinary seventh-rank Daoist.
There were many reasons why Sage Donghua valued Qi Xuansu. One of them was Qi Xuansu’s ability to handle monotony. He could handle various work affairs during the day and cultivated at night, with virtually no time for entertainment or indulgence. This was truly rare in the younger generation.
Midnight had already passed, yet Qi Xuansu still sat behind his desk, holding a file in his hands, his expression extremely grave.
This was the latest case file recently transmitted from Lion City via the rapid pot talisman. It was personally written by Li Zhuyu and marked “Top Secret.”
On the first page of the file was a name—Lin Qingcheng. Lin Qingcheng was Wang Jiaoying’s secretary, and the existence of his file meant that he had finally confessed.
When a secretary was caught, the person they served usually would not be able to escape. Qi Xuansu getting away unscathed when Chen Jianchou was arrested had been a rare exception.
This meant that Qi Xuansu could now prepare to arrest Wang Jiaoying.
With both Wang Jiaoyan and Wang Jiaoying arrested, Wang Jiaohe became a truly isolated figure.
Qi Xuansu set down the file and picked up a second one, which had Wu Burong’s name written on the first page.
Cases like this were like a dam. All it took was a single breach for the entire structure to collapse.
From this perspective, Li Zhuyu was indeed highly capable in handling affairs.
