That same evening, news broke that Jiang Shan had been taken away, and the Canglan Disciplinary Committee had launched an investigation.

Li Tian sighed that it was good that Jiang Shan was taken away by the Disciplinary Committee, saving him from suffering torment from those people.

The next day

When Li Tian woke up, he saw several missed calls.

Li Tian had put his phone on silent yesterday so as not to disturb his sleep, which is why he only saw it now.

When Li Tian saw Ye Lan's message, he called her back.

"What's wrong? Why are you calling me so early in the morning? Do you miss me that much?"

"Pah, who misses you? What I want to tell you is that Jiang Shan is dead. He died last night at the Disciplinary Committee."

"What? Jiang Shan is dead? How did he die?"

Li Tian's previously dazed mind immediately cleared.

"He was murdered. Early this morning, someone broke into the Disciplinary Committee and killed Jiang Shan with more than a dozen flying needles!"

Upon hearing this, Li Tian immediately knew that it was the old man's side that had taken action, but he didn't know who had carried it out.

"Has the murderer been caught?" Li Tian continued to ask.

"No, not even the surveillance footage showed the person's face. The current clues are that he was dressed in black, masked, and about 1.6 meters tall."

Li Tian's heart skipped a beat when he heard this. Could it be Li Shishi?

No!

He then dismissed the idea, saying that Shishi was currently abroad and couldn't possibly come back in time!

"Oh! What a pity, it's such a waste that such a big fish died!" Li Tian sighed.

"No, no, no, you're wrong this time. It's not a pity. It's better to die than to live. Dying is called silencing someone. Why silencing someone? Who kept these Deadpools?"

Li Tian understood what was going on as soon as he heard it, and said, "Alright, so be it! It has little to do with me!"

"I know it has nothing to do with you, but what I want to say is that the civilian faction must have been desperate this time, otherwise they wouldn't have killed people to cover it up!"

Li Tian understood; this second young lady of the Ye family was probably plotting some kind of conspiracy.

After ending the call with Ye Lan, Huang Yin called.

"Tian, ​​this is a huge problem!"

Hearing Huang Yin's anxious tone, Li Tian was also unsure of what had happened.

"What's wrong? Don't rush, tell me slowly!" Li Tian told her to calm down.

"Yes, Jiang Shan is dead. I pricked the head of the paper effigy with a needle yesterday, and today the news came that he was killed by someone with silver needles. Do you think the police will come looking for me?"

At this moment, Huang Yin was terrified. She had only casually pricked the paper figure's head with a needle.

Unexpectedly, Jiang Shan was actually dead, and Huang Yin now believed that he had killed Jiang Shan himself.

"Don't be afraid, it's possible that someone else killed Jiang Shan, it has nothing to do with you!"

Li Tian had no intention of continuing to frighten Huang Yin, knowing that Huang Yin must be terrified to the extreme.

"Impossible! I killed him with my magic. Otherwise, how could there be news that he was killed by silver needles? This is too much of a coincidence. How could anyone else get into such a strict place as the disciplinary committee? I really didn't do it on purpose!"

"Me!"

Li Tian didn't know how to explain it to her, since she was now convinced that she was the one who killed Jiang Shan.

"Alright, don't make a fuss about this yet. I'll have Ye Feng think of a way. The most important thing for you right now is not to come forward and admit that you killed him!"

When Huang Yin heard Li Tian mention Ye Feng, her panicked heart calmed down considerably.

She knew that Li Tian might not be able to help her resolve this matter, but Ye Feng should be fine.

"Okay, I'll listen to you. I won't tell anyone about this, not even my daughter!"

"Yes, that's right. The fewer people who know about this at this time, the better. We absolutely mustn't let it get out of the way!"

"I see!"

After ending his call with Huang Yin, Li Tian was also troubled.

One woman firmly believed that the commoners had killed Jiang Shan to silence him, while the other firmly believed that she had used magic to kill him.

Li Tian looked at the ceiling speechlessly. How come he kept encountering all sorts of weirdos?

Just then, the phone rang again. Seeing it was his father, Li Tian knew the person in question had arrived.

"Hey Dad, how is it?"

"Hmph! Don't worry! The theater can operate normally as usual, barring any unforeseen circumstances. Old Sun has already dealt with those hooligans!"

When Li Tian heard that Old Sun had made a move, he felt relieved. The old man's kung fu skills were no joke.

Furthermore, my grandfather once said that this old man was very efficient and would never leave any evidence against him.

"Well, I'm quite confident in Elder Sun's abilities, but... well! Never mind, do as you please!"

Li Tian wanted to say something more, but after thinking about it, he gave up.

The old man is right. Cutting off someone's livelihood is like killing their parents. This is an age-old truth, and there's no way to persuade him otherwise.

"Okay, just keep singing your songs. You don't need to worry about things here. It's not your time to worry about these things yet!"

"Yes, as long as you're happy!"

"Oh, it's a pity Shishi isn't here, otherwise we wouldn't need Old Sun. He's getting on in years and his legs aren't as nimble as they used to be! Sigh! Time waits for no one!"

Li Tian was speechless. This old man Sun was indeed quite old, almost seventy now!

The last time I saw him, the old man was in a wheelchair.

It turned out that everything he had seen was an illusion. According to Ye Lan's previous description, it was very difficult to monitor and capture the assassin's movements.

Who would have thought that this person at this moment would be an old man in a wheelchair?

And what's with the "It's a pity Shishi isn't here" comment? Do you want your eldest granddaughter to personally take care of things?
