Chapter 444: I’ll Bury His Bones Under My Toilet!
“Bzz bzz… We’re about to welcome a powerful officer, sent from Harbor City. You know about his strength, don’t you?”
“Bzz bzz bzz…”
“Bzz bzz… Our current plan is to compete with those Soul Ferryman bastards for people.”
“Compete for people?”
“Yes, they have a large number of souls in their possession, but we can too. As long as we confine the souls of employees from every department in Yuncheng, we’ll be able to obtain a lot of their secrets… bzz bzz…”
“Bzz bzz… You’re all a bunch of lunatics. If you do this, it will provoke furious retaliation from the Yuncheng Alliance.”
“Haha, we’re not afraid at all. Once the officer arrives, this plan will be put into action… bzz bzz…”
The recording device continuously played on a large screen in the conference room.
The voices echoed throughout the room.
Murong Yu was conversing with a man in black, and the content and dialogue above were recorded clearly.
Yuchi Ouyang and Zhang Tianlong listened to the content, their faces immediately showing concern.
The conference room fell into silence.
The two of them didn’t speak for a long time.
Obviously, this incident surpassed anything they had encountered before, especially since the Evil Card Masters had sent an officer.
From what he said, this officer’s position was not low, and his strength was even above his own.
It was possible that his strength had already reached the diamond level.
He might even be on par with the current director of the Security Bureau. Such a monster coming to Yuncheng was simply a disaster for this place.
And their plan could make everyone in every department fear for their lives, which was undoubtedly a major event for Yuncheng.
Yuchi Ouyang breathed heavily for a long time.
He then tapped the table and looked at Luo Sheng, “Where did you get this video from?”
“An informant,” Luo Sheng casually replied.
At this moment, he was sitting with his legs crossed, hands behind his head, lounging in a wheeled office chair.
Zhang Tianlong also said, “Your informant is really strong, to so easily find such important information.”
“Hmm… it was just a chance encounter. Her goal was only to collect secrets about the Xu family,” Luo Sheng said truthfully.
He even emphasized the words “Xu family” heavily.
He was obviously intentionally or unintentionally directing Yuchi Ouyang and Zhang Tianlong’s attention to this matter.
This way, Xu Yourong wouldn’t need to spend time and effort.
At least with the Security Bureau restraining the Xu family, it would be much easier for Xu Yourong to investigate.
Zhang Tianlong, hearing his words, indeed inquired, “Are you saying that the man in black in there is a member of the Xu family?”
“I can’t be sure of that, because by the time I arrived, the man in black had already escaped, so I can’t prove his true identity,” Luo Sheng shook his head.
Leaving them with a puzzle.
Anyway, the man in black had already been taken away by Xu Yourong, probably captured for interrogation. The results would come soon.
Yuchi Ouyang suddenly said, “You’re trying to divert our attention, aren’t you? Making us focus on the Xu family. I heard you had a conflict with a branch of the Xu clan in Pingcheng. You’re not trying to use us to settle your score, are you?”
Luo Sheng shook his head, “Even if I wanted revenge, I wouldn’t go after the Xu family in Yuncheng. They’re not the same faction to begin with.
Besides, the ones who offended me have already fled to Harbor City, so if I want revenge, I’d go there. I have no interest in dealing with the Yuncheng branch, after all, I could be crushed at any time.”
Yuchi Ouyang grunted, “At least you know your place.”
Although Yuchi Ouyang was still the director of the Security Bureau, it was very difficult to eradicate a family faction.
It’s hard to cut off all the roots when pulling out weeds.
After all, these family factions were deeply rooted locally and wielded enormous power.
Almost 60% of the Card Masters in Yuncheng, as well as high-end combat power, belonged to family factions.
Even when the Card Alliance was first established, they had thought about abolishing all families once and for all.
But as time passed.
These families would slowly emerge.
It was almost impossible to stop their growth.
Because a powerful individual could self-organize a large family, and when they united, the family faction could quickly expand, even devouring the resources of other civilians.
This was simply unsolvable.
Moreover, strictly speaking, the Card Alliance could also be considered a massive super family faction.
And their recruits were basically civilian Card Masters, of course, including loyal local gentry from various places, forming a community of shared interests.
This was to balance the forces in the city.
To prevent one family from becoming too powerful.
It also strengthened the power of the alliance, giving them an absolute advantage over other families, achieving a balance of power in the city.
Yuchi Ouyang reviewed the recording a second time.
After pondering for a while.
“I’ll send people to investigate them specifically. If these guys really are colluding with the Evil Card Masters, we’ll definitely wipe them out!”
Yuchi Ouyang said with imposing manner.
He wouldn’t allow others to run amok in his city.
Then he looked at Luo Sheng, “Tell me, what do you know about these Soul Ferrymen?”
Luo Sheng organized his thoughts a bit.
He said seriously, “Not too much, I only know that his name is Mr. K. When I first came to Yuncheng, I entered the black market and encountered him for the first time.
I remember at that time, he was trying to sell me soul cards, so I can guarantee that their targets are all young women.
Just like now, Sima Shengnan has also become their target. And now I can be certain of one thing: he has a way to set up situations that put people in danger.
When people are on the brink of death, they try to strip away their souls and confine them in cards.
This time they’re deliberately targeting Sima Shengnan because that guy is investigating the Soul Ferrymen, which has threatened his survival.”
Luo Sheng explained the ins and outs of the matter in some detail.
Mixed with his guesses.
Yuchi Ouyang sat in the main seat, arms folded.
He listened carefully to his account, then fell into thought, and Zhang Tianlong did the same.
He also realized the seriousness of this matter.
He opened his mouth and said, “According to your thoughts, and given the current situation, are you suggesting that there are their people in the Security Bureau as well?”
Luo Sheng shook his head, “I’m not sure either, but I guess someone gave Sima Shengnan some clues, leading her to rush headlong into the factory area.
And causing her to fight with Murong Yu. Just when she fell unconscious, the other party happened to appear. I don’t think all of this can be such a coincidence.”
Luo Sheng felt that this matter was shrouded in mystery.
Of course, he had another guess.
That is, the other party possessed some ability to explore the life of Card Masters.
When Card Masters were on the brink of death, they could sense it, then lock onto the target in advance, turning them into soul cards.
However, achieving this level would be extremely difficult.
Unless, they were all Fate Masters.
Able to deduce the information of every Card Master in the entire city through fate cards, controlling future destinies.
Yuchi Ouyang said, “Although there might be his spies in the Security Bureau, based on what you’ve said, I’m more inclined to believe they’re setting up battles.
Letting both sides fight to the death, profiting from it. But their reach is too long, daring to extend into the Security Bureau!”
As Yuchi Ouyang spoke, he suddenly slammed the table.
Luo Sheng could see that he seemed to have some idea.
Next, the Security Bureau would probably conduct a major internal investigation.
Seeing that this matter was properly handled.
Luo Sheng asked, “So, how should we deal with the officer from the Evil Card Master organization?”
If a BOSS of this level came to Yuncheng, not only would he have to be extremely careful, but probably the entire Security Bureau would have to be cautious.
If they encountered the officer during a mission, it would be no different from suicide.
Only Yuchi Ouyang and Yuchi Xueyao could deal with him.
Although Yuncheng had Card Universities, where the professors were all very powerful, basically at the diamond level, they might not accept orders from the Security Bureau.
Therefore, if they sensed danger.
Unless pressured by the Card Alliance, they wouldn’t need to deal with the Evil Card Masters.
Moreover, he seemed to be in an antagonistic relationship with the Evil Card Masters, so Luo Sheng needed to be even more careful in dealing with them.
Yuchi Ouyang said, “You don’t need to worry too much about that. Even if the officer comes to Yuncheng, it won’t be so fast.
Especially now that we’re cracking down on them hard, taking out many of their strongholds. Coming now would just be walking into a trap.
If he dares to come, I’ll definitely bury his bones under my toilet.”
Yuchi Ouyang was full of confidence.
He wasn’t nervous at all, even showing a hint of anticipation in his eyes, as if he had finally met a worthy opponent.
He clenched his fists together.
Looking as if he wanted to settle things with the Evil Card Master officer in actual combat.
Luo Sheng was quite speechless.
