After thinking it over, Su Wan called Qin Yi and told him about Cui Zhengming's behavior.

Qin Yi on the other end frowned after hearing this, as if he couldn't understand something. After a few minutes, Qin Yi remembered something and his expression changed drastically. "Wanwan, wait for me there."

"good."

Qin Yi called Lin Changchun and Jiang Baiyuan to stand by, then thought for a moment and picked up the phone again to dial: "Check on someone, near Chunjiang Road, about 1.73 meters tall, around 60 years old..."

After giving his instructions, he hung up the phone, strode out of the office, and headed straight for Yang Jianguo's office.

Yang Jianguo was on the phone when he heard the door open: "Come in."

Qin Yiqi entered with an icy expression.

"Spit it out!" Yang Jianguo said to Qin Yi in an annoyed tone.

Qin Yi didn't react in any special way. That's always been how things are between them. Yang Jianguo dislikes Qin Yi's bad temper, but he also cherishes his talent. After Qin Yi's accident, he was so worried that he couldn't sleep.

Qin Yi spoke frankly with Yang Jianguo about Cui Zhengming's situation and his own speculations.

"I suspect he might have found out something and went to see Zhengqing. A conflict is very likely to occur..."

Before Qin Yi could finish speaking, Yang Jianguo knew that it concerned human life, and it involved his own master. In Cui Zhengming's heart, his master was like a father. Cui Zhengming respected his master very much, so after his master passed away, he chose to travel around to get away from his master's place as much as possible.

But now he has discovered that his junior brother, whom he regarded as family, is not only the murderer of his master, but also tried to kill him for money.

The key point is that Zheng Qing has another identity, which Cui Zhengming has probably also discovered.

With things having developed to this point, it's likely that Cui Zhengming will find it difficult to remain calm.

Yang Jianguo and Cui Zhengming were old friends. They got along well and often drank and chatted together. Yang Jianguo knew Cui was straightforward and couldn't help but worry about him.

Yang Jianguo's expression gradually became serious. "How many people do you need?"

Ten.

"good."

Yang Jianguo made a phone call, asking for ten men to be on standby, then looked at Qin Yi: "If you encounter danger, prioritize your own safety. If necessary, you can consider... Go."

"yes!"

Qin Yi bowed, turned around, and strode out of Yang Jianguo's office.

Lin Changchun drove the car, followed by two other cars, and the three cars slowly drove away.

An hour later, the car stopped near Chunjiang Road, where local residents were already waiting.

As soon as Qin Yi and the others got out of the car, Li Hongsheng, who was in charge, went up to them and said, "Comrade Qin, our people have already checked. They are in that courtyard. We have been waiting around here, but we haven't seen anyone come out."

Qin Yi nodded and gestured to the people behind him. The group silently surrounded the courtyard.

Li Hongsheng stepped forward and knocked on the door. He knocked for a long time, but there was still no response. Li Hongsheng glanced at Qin Yi nervously. Had he messed things up?

He clearly had people guarding this place, yet not even a dog could get out.

Qin Yi gestured to Li Hongsheng with his eyes, and the latter gritted his teeth and said, "Is anyone here? We're from the neighborhood committee. Our neighbors have reported noise from your house! Please open the door so we can find out what's going on."

Another long silence followed.

Qin Yi waved his hand, and Lin Changchun stepped forward and kicked open the wooden door. The group of people entered the courtyard in a well-trained manner.

There was a stone table in the center of the courtyard, and the footprints on the ground were messy, indicating that a fight had just taken place here.

There were still some bloodstains on the ground. Jiang Baiyuan squatted down, wiped the bloodstains with his hand, and reported to Qin Yi: "Half an hour ago."

Qin Yi noticed two teacups next to the stone table. He reached out and touched the teapot; the water was still lukewarm, indicating that he had just been there.

...

On the other side, Su Wan was driving a car with two people in it, Cui Zhengming and Zhengqing, who had just been drinking tea in the courtyard.

Both were injured, yet they still kept each other in check.

Zhengqing persuaded Cui Zhengming: "Senior brother, your medical skills are superb, and your fighting skills are better than mine. You can come with me, and I will definitely make sure you live a life of luxury for the rest of your life."

"Pah! I don't want to be with scum like you. You heartless bastards don't even deserve to be with me! I only regret that I was blind to let Master take you in. If I had known, I would have just left you in the mountains to starve to death!"

Cui Zhengming wished he could kill Zhengqing on the spot.

"Senior brother, why are you so stubborn? Even if you don't consider yourself, you should at least consider this young girl, right?"

Cui Zhengming's face was full of anger. He felt that Zhengqing was becoming more and more of a stranger to him every day.

He's not like a normal person anymore.

Paranoid, insane, unpredictable, and with blood on his hands, how could he be normal...?

Rewind to thirty years ago, when Cui Zhengming was just a teenager. He went up the mountain with his master every day to collect herbs. One day, they met a child on the mountain who was half-starved and had been beaten half to death.

Seeing how pitiful the child was, Cui Zhengming begged his master to take him back.

He remembered the struggle in his master's eyes, and how his master looked at the child's face three times, saying something to Cui Zhengming that he thought was inexplicable at the time: "Zhengming, it's all fate!"

In the end, the master took the child back to the Taoist temple and named him Zhengqing.

At first, his master didn't teach Zhengqing anything; he only had him chop wood, carry water, and cook.

Sometimes when Master was teaching Cui Zhengming, Zhengqing would hide behind him and secretly learn. When Master discovered this, he would be severely punished.

"Your job is to do odd jobs. If you don't listen to me, then leave!"

As time went on, Zhengqing grew dissatisfied and began to complain to Cui Zhengming.

"Senior brother, why do you think Master only teaches you but not me?"
