"nailed it."

Qin Jinnian from Canglan City heard Zhang San's voice and raised his eyebrows: "Hmm? Done?"

"It was Yun Luoan who arranged this. He is from the Yun family branch, but he is not valued. He heard about Yun Jiucheng's dislike for Poxiao, so he took the initiative... He thought that if Poxiao could make a big news on the opening day, he would be able to please Yun Jiucheng and thus improve his status in the Yun family."

Zhang San gave a brief introduction.

"Well, then what? Where's that person?"

"I came here to ask you... This person should be telling the truth, so..."

Zhang San looked at Yun Luoan, who was gasping for breath, with black veins on his face bulging, and his eyes were dull and painful. "What should we do?"

Qin Jinnian thought for a moment, then said, "Kill him."

"Really killed him?" Zhang San was a little surprised.

After all, Yun Luoan is a legitimate member of the Yun family. Although he is a branch, he has a certain status in the Yun family as he can be a senior executive of Huaguang Group. Is he really going to be killed like this? "I won't punish him, but Poxiao is doing business peacefully, and he is using tricks to cause trouble and trying to implicate innocent customers... He doesn't take other people's lives seriously, so I don't take his life seriously either. Isn't that fair?"

Qin Jinnian said casually.

"That's true... good."

Zhang San thought about it and agreed, so he nodded.

"Well, besides, I'll give you some names later, and you can go and take a look."

Qin Jinnian said again.

"OK."

After finishing the conversation with Qin Jinnian, Zhang San looked at Yun Luoan who was in great pain, and smiled, "Boss Yun, do you have anything else to say?"

Yun Luoan looked at Zhang San in front of him with fear. He had known for a long time that Zhang San was extraordinary, but he had never taken it too seriously because he was fearless... He was a member of the Yun family.

But now, he felt fear... The inhuman pain just now was still continuing in his body! He didn't know what the so-called hell was like, but if there was, he believed that it was what he had just experienced.

"I, I, was wrong..."

The shadow directly targeted the destruction of nerve endings. The functions of his language center had been damaged. He could not speak clearly and saliva kept overflowing from his mouth.

But he was trying to say he was wrong.

He was really scared.

For the first time, he realized that in the eyes of some people, the Yun family's identity was not something he could rely on.

"You were wrong? It's a great virtue to admit your mistakes and correct them. I'm very pleased." Zhang San smiled and nodded: "Be more careful in your next life."

The words "Be careful in your next life" made Yun Luoan's eyes suddenly widen. He wanted to say something anxiously, but the more anxious he was, the more he couldn't speak, and he could only make vague sounds. The worst thing was that his body was paralyzed and he couldn't even move.

Of course, facing Zhang San, even if he could move, it would be meaningless.

"Don't worry, I'll be quick."

Zhang San finished speaking with a smile, and the next moment, a shadow turned into a shadow thorn and appeared in front of Yun Luoan.

Yun Luoan was terrified to the extreme. He roared vaguely and tried to struggle and hide.

But in the end, the shadow thorn suddenly flashed, pierced through his chin, and emerged directly from the top of his head.

Yun Luoan stared at Zhang San in disbelief. Then, all the strength in his body receded like a tide. He stared at Zhang San with his eyes wide open, and his pupils dilated. There was disbelief and unwillingness in his eyes...

He probably never imagined that just by giving an order casually, he would face death.

Obviously... Lin Yousheng is still alive and well...

…

…

Killing Yun Luoan was Qin Jinnian’s original idea.

Or rather, it was not aimed at Yun Luoan... but the person who gave the order to come to Poxiao to cause trouble. Qin Jinnian had intended to kill him from the very beginning.

The matter is neither big nor small.

On the day of Dawn's opening, a psychic used his super powers to influence the guests of the day, trying to cause looting or even a stampede. If everything went well, he even planned to kill some people 'just'.

If you look at this from a bigger perspective, it's not a big deal. At least it won't hurt Poxiao much...

Putting aside the fact that things haven't developed to that point, even if everything really developed like that, it would just be facing a wave of cyber violence and Dawn's reputation would be damaged.

But it won’t be destructive... As long as the authorization for the release of Abyss materials is still there, it won’t have much impact on Dawn and Qin Jinnian himself.

But in Qin Jinnian's eyes, this is not a trivial matter.

Putting aside the issue of whether his reputation would be damaged, Qin Jinnian could not ignore the possibility of innocent deaths...

Why?

People come to Poxiao to take care of Poxiao's business, but end up having to take such risks. What have these customers done to offend anyone?

Qin Jinnian didn't kill the person with the ability, nor did he kill the person who controlled Qin Jinnian behind the scenes...but Qin Jinnian couldn't let go of the person who gave the order.

Qin Jinnian felt that he was a very contradictory person. He had killed people before, and he never showed mercy. For example, he had personally killed tens of thousands of evil cultists.

He thought those people deserved to die.

As a traitor, since he chose to stand on the opposite side of humanity, then being killed by humans is quite reasonable, isn't it? But Qin Jinnian couldn't kill innocent people indiscriminately.

He couldn't treat innocent people in a certain area as bargaining chips and objects to be sacrificed for a certain purpose. He had been powerful for so long, and he had never used his power to bully innocent people.

There is an old saying that goes, "A general's success is the result of the sacrifice of thousands of soldiers; those who accomplish great things should not be fussy about trivial matters."

This statement is very true and correct.

But Qin Jinnian had no intention of going down this path.

He always felt that power needed to be restrained. Not by others, but by oneself.

What is constrained is one's own morality and cognition.

He thinks this is good.

Because only in this way can he ensure that he controls the power rather than the power controlling him.

This is important.

Some big shots do not take the lives of ordinary people seriously, so when they fall into Qin Jinnian's hands, Qin Jinnian naturally has no need to take their lives seriously.

He thought it was fair.

Of course, this does not mean that Qin Jinnian is a moral saint.

If you really boil it down, he is probably just an ordinary person with a certain moral standard, but the power he controls is a little stronger.

He didn't think he had the right to decide and control the life and death of others, but he also didn't think anyone had the right to use morality or anything else to hold him hostage.

Well, that was fine. He had no plans to change anything.

For example, now, Yun Luoan’s death was nothing to worry about at all.

Even if the other party is a branch of the Yun family and may have a little status in the Yun family... he didn't care.

He stopped Yun Luoan not because he was afraid, but because Zhang San found out that the order was given by Yun Luoan himself, and there was no one above to instruct Yun Luoan anymore.

That's all.

In fact, he really hoped that Yun Luoan would give out more people...it would be even better if he could directly point to Yun Jiucheng.

He really didn't have much good feelings towards the prince of the Super Martial Alliance. After all, the first time he approached Li Yuqi, he directly exposed his ambitions.

If this matter was instructed by Yun Jiucheng, then Yun Luoan would not die, but Yun Jiucheng would be the one who died.

...No collective punishment, this is the leader's request, Qin Jinnian also admitted his surrender. Whoever made the mistake should admit it, whoever was responsible should bear the responsibility, it is fair.

But that's all.

If the investigation really leads to Yun Jiucheng, Qin Jinnian will not have any scruples just because he is the most valued son of the current Super Martial Alliance leader.

If there really are any, they are probably the Source Realm beings behind the Yun family... Qin Jinnian is not able to deal with the Source Realm beings for the time being.

But if there is no way to deal with it, will we just not deal with it? We will still kill those who need to be killed.

He really wanted to see how far that part of the Yun family that the leader disliked could go.

If Yun Jiucheng is killed, will those Source Realms move?

Qin Jinnian doesn't believe that those wealthy families are a solid block.

Judging from the Yun family's incident, they are even fighting among themselves. How could there be no rifts between different families?

In fact, the three words "no collective responsibility" also provided Qin Jinnian with a very good idea to solve the problem.

Judging from the current situation, aren't these noble families and so on uniting to target Dawn?

It is unrealistic to really kill all these noble families. Firstly, Dawn does not have that ability now. Secondly, if it really does, it may not be a good thing. After all, these noble families have powerful forces, and they are also the main force of the earth against the abyss.

but……

Aristocratic family is not just one person.

Cloud Nine City is not friendly to Poxiao, so what about Cloud Eight City? Cloud Seven City? Cloud Six City? ... They can't all be unfriendly, right?

In other words, when all the unfriendly people in Yunjiu, Baqi, and Liucheng died, wouldn't it be better to replace them with Yunwucheng, a very friendly city? Wouldn't the problem be solved immediately?

Same principle.

Lin Fenggou is hostile to Poxiao, so let Lin Fenggou die and replace him with Lin Fengmao. Lin Fengmao is hostile to him, so replace him with Lin Fengshu... Qin Jinnian believes that Poxiao is not a madman, and has never done anything that would anger the heavens and the people. It is impossible that he is so unpopular, right? If you think along this line of thought,

I feel like it's not difficult to solve...

"Well, now let's see...who will be traced back to the order for the underground base."

He narrowed his eyes.

Of course, it is easier said than done, but in reality there will definitely be some resistance.

After all, since these families are now presided over by these people, it means that their power within their own family must be stronger than other voices. If Qin Jinnian really did that, there would definitely be a strong backlash.

But when it comes to fighting, Qin Jinnian is not really afraid.

Zhao Liu has not been playing around in the abyss these past few months. Just today, he told Qin Jinnian that only two or three pieces of key materials for advancing to the god level were left.

Although he is only at the God level, his attribute points should not be enough for him to break through directly to the Source Realm.

but……

He remembered the 'qualitative change' caused when his mental strength broke through its limits.

After the breakthrough in vitality, there should also be a wave of qualitative changes.

It’s hard to say what exactly it is.

But I think, at the very least, it should allow him to have a certain ability to resist when facing the Source Realm.

Thinking of this, Qin Jin let out a sigh of relief.

Now that you have sorted out your thoughts, the next step is to put them into action.

He thought about it and contacted Li Si.

"I found something for you... I'll give you a few names, and you go."

"Um."

Li Si agreed.

Qin Jinnian squinted his eyes and lay on the sofa. He was thinking when his cell phone suddenly rang. When he saw the name, he was slightly startled, then raised his eyebrows and smiled.

"Hello? Is that Ningning? Haha, it's uncle's fault. I haven't visited you for a long time... Hmm? You and mom are at Dawn Square? There's a fountain show today? Hahaha, okay, uncle will be here soon and play with you tonight..."

…

…

Time flies, and the night is over in a blink of an eye.

The next morning...

"ah!!!!"

In Bixia City, Tianyun Hotel, a shrill scream cut through the presidential suite of this high-end hotel which was supposed to be quiet.

The hotel management and security were alerted immediately, and they rushed to the place where the sound came from, and saw a lady with a perfect figure and beautiful appearance. But this lady had a look of fear and panic on her face.

"Ma'am, ma'am, don't be afraid, we are hotel service staff, what happened?"

The hotel management rushed to appease the lady who looked like a socialite.

The lady stammered and pointed in a direction, with intense fear in her eyes: "Dead, dead, they are dead, they are dead!..."

"Who? Dead?"

The hotel manager's face suddenly changed. Someone died in the hotel? This was a big deal.

And the name the other party said next made them all gasp.

"The vice president of Huaguang Group... Yun, Yun Luoan, and his bodyguards... are all dead!!!"

Boom!!! These words, like thunder, exploded in these people's minds.

This is a serious matter.

The vice president of Huaguang Group is dead!

They did not dare to delay and rushed over to see what was going on.

Then, they saw that the door of the presidential box was open, and in the living room, there were bodies lying all over the place. Then, in the master bedroom, they saw Yun Luoan, whose eyes were wide open, and whose white bedding had been stained with blood. He died with his eyes wide open...

…

…

"What did you say?"

In the capital, at the headquarters of the Super Martial Alliance, on a thousand-story building, Yun Jiucheng raised his head and looked at the butler.

The butler handed the tablet to Yun Jiucheng and said calmly, "Yun Luoan, the fourth generation of the branch family, was mainly responsible for the Huaguang Group. He was found dead in Bixia City this morning. He was murdered. This is the autopsy report..."

Yun Jiucheng's face suddenly became extremely ugly. He looked at it carefully. After a moment, his face twitched slightly: "A sharp object pierced through the chin and broke through the skull... From the wound, it doesn't look like any sharp weapon, and no substance was detected in the wound. Instead, there was a psychic fluctuation... Suspected... a materialized superpower committed the crime?"

He raised his head and looked at the housekeeper with an unpleasant expression: "What do you mean?"

"Three days ago, Yun Luoan issued an order for one of his psychic superpowers to go to Canglan City..."

The butler told him all the information he had just found out.

As Yun Jiucheng listened, his expression gradually became uglier and uglier.

At the end, he asked word by word: "You mean... the one who did the killing was Dawn?"

"Not only was it Dawn, it's very likely that... Zhang San or Li Si took action."

The housekeeper said calmly, "Although he is only a branch of the family, he is still a senior executive of the Huaguang Group. His bodyguard captain is a ninth-level ability user in the family. This ninth-level ability user is also dead. And he died silently, without even any defense. Add to that the suspicion of materialization-type superpowers... After thinking about it, the only one is Zhang San."

Yun Jiucheng's expression suddenly became extremely ugly. He couldn't believe it: "How dare they?! Gong Luoyue didn't tell Li Yuqi and the others about the relationship between the Yun family and the leader?"

"That's the problem... I said it. And, I said it just yesterday."

The butler looked at Yun Jiucheng, his expression still calm: "Master, what should we do now?"

Yun Jiucheng widened his eyes.

I said it, and I just said it yesterday.

Today, Yun Luoan died...

No, that's not right.

It should be said that Yun Luoan died yesterday! In other words... as soon as they knew the relationship between the Yun family and the leader, they immediately killed the Yun family? Are they crazy? ! Even Yun Jiucheng was a little confused at this moment.

This was something he had never encountered before.

The Yun family, even its branches, had never been murdered.

Especially this kind of murder where the identity is not concealed at all!

Dawn, how dare you?

Yun Jiucheng even felt it was unbelievable...
