Zhang Zhihao stared silently at the doorway, his lips slightly parted, and he uttered two words in a low, slow voice: "Come in."
With that command, the door was gently pushed open; however, due to the contrast with the bright lights in the conference room, the outside appeared exceptionally dark. At first, those inside the conference room could only see a blurry figure gradually approaching.
As the figure slowly stepped into the conference room, everyone's vision gradually cleared. Only then did they realize with surprise that it was a young man who had entered.
He was wearing a perfectly tailored dark suit that clung to his figure, making him appear even more dashing. A fine tie was neatly tied at the collar of his crisp white shirt, the color combination just right—neither too flashy nor lacking in taste.
Every step he took was steady and confident, as if he were walking with an invisible rhythm, exuding an aura of authority that was impossible to ignore. His broad shoulders and muscular chest, even through his suit, conveyed a powerful strength, like an indestructible fortress.
Especially his deep, pool-like eyes, sharp and keen, seemed to see through the truth of everything in the world with just a glance. When his gaze met Jun Wuhen, who was sitting at the head of the table, the two stared at each other for a long time, and for a moment the entire conference room seemed to be filled with only an invisible contest between the two of them.
In the end, it was the young man who broke the silence first, calmly shifting his gaze elsewhere. However, the unique aura of a strong person lingered around him, causing everyone present to look at him with awe and secretly feel a sense of reverence.
Zhang Zhihao spoke up at this moment.
"Let me introduce you to Li Wenyuan, the new director of the Jiangxi Provincial Security Bureau."
Zhang Zhihao pointed to a chair not far away and said to Li Wenyuan.
"Wen Yuan, come sit here and introduce yourself to everyone."
Li Wenyuan approached Jiang Yuan and then spoke.
"Hello everyone, I am Li Wenyuan, from the Li family in the capital. I'm sure you're all quite surprised by my arrival."
"Actually, this is not a very unexpected thing, because not long ago, the capital had already received information about Gu Yuanshan, and the capital had already begun to investigate."
"But before we could take any action, Gu Yuanshan had an accident. I came here to investigate Gu Yuanshan's past and to find out the real reason for his death."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yuan's expression turned grim.
Zhang Zhihao continued speaking.
"Alright, Wenyuan, we can investigate the work-related matters slowly. First, familiarize yourself with the business; this will help you with your next steps."
The dark clouds in the sky over Jiangxi Province were like ink, as if a violent storm was about to strike.
Ye Liangchen had only been at Qinglong Academy for a short time when a group of people barged into the classroom.
They went straight to Ye Liangchen's side.
"Ye Liangchen, we are from the Security Bureau. Please come with us."
Upon seeing this, Ye Liangchen had just stood up.
A voice came from outside the classroom.
"Wait a moment."
The person who came was Liu Yue.
Who are you? What are you doing here?
"Vice President Liu, we are on official business, please do not obstruct us."
"What a joke! This is Qinglong Academy, and I am the dean here. You have come to my territory and are trying to harm my people. If you cannot give me a legitimate reason, I can refuse you."
Several members of the security bureau tried to stop Liu Yue.
When they tried to get closer to Liu Yue, they felt the pressure from the mountain.
Sensing the pressure, everyone had no choice but to stay put.
"Tell Li Wenyuan that without proper procedures, he can't take my people away."
The security personnel had no choice but to leave.
"Ye Liangchen, come with me."
Upon arriving at the vice dean's office, Liu Yue gestured for Ye Liangchen to sit down.
"Ye Liangchen, do you realize you're caught in a whirlpool right now?"
"Vortex?"
"That's right, you should know Gu Yuanshan, right?"
"I know, wasn't he detained?"
"That's where the problem lies: Gu Yuanshan died the next day inside the courtroom."
"What does his death in the tribunal have to do with me?"
"It's very simple. The Tribunal will absolutely not take responsibility for what happened inside. Since things after entering the Tribunal cannot be carried out, we can only investigate what happened before entering the Tribunal, and that's the problem."
"Someone has to be held responsible for Gu Yuanshan's death, and you are the one they chose."
Ye Liangchen finally understood.
Since they are all a group of people who cannot move, then he is the lamb to the slaughter.
"But don't feel burdened. Right now, you just need to improve your strength. You don't need to worry about anything else."
Ye Liangchen nodded.
He had just stepped out of the office.
The bracelet made a sound.
“Divine Child, this is not a simple matter.”
"I noticed it too. Do you think they're targeting Sister Xue?"
“Divine Child, it’s not impossible. I’ve noticed that Li Xue’s emotions have been off lately.”
"No, I can't go on like this. I have to improve myself."
“Divine Child, I actually have some things here too, but well, I need some special ability crystals…”
"Hurry up, these are all negotiable."
Soon, a red crystal appeared in Ye Liangchen's hand.
"My son, this is a good thing. It contains a few sword techniques. If you practice them, you will definitely improve."
Ye Liangchen took the red crystal and found a quiet place to begin cultivating. Following the guidance within the crystal, he swung his longsword, and as the sword flashed, the surrounding air surged.
But not long after, Ye Liangchen almost wanted to curse.
As Ye Liangchen circulated his supernatural power according to the sword technique, he felt an obstacle in the process.
Several times, the primal energy failed to enter the longsword.
After trying nearly ten times, Ye Liangchen was stuck on the final step of injecting his supernatural energy into the longsword.
"What happened? Why is this happening?"
He slowly activated his supernatural power, and Ye Liangchen discovered that there was an invisible shackle on his body, constantly suppressing him.
At the same time, Li Wenyuan carefully reviewed Gu Yuanshan's case files at the Security Bureau. He discovered many suspicious points; all the clues seemed to point to Ye Liangchen, but it also seemed like a deliberate act.
Meanwhile, Liu Yue secretly investigated the forces behind the matter. She discovered that a hidden force was manipulating the situation, attempting to disrupt the political landscape of Jiang Province.
After several days of arduous practice, Ye Liangchen's swordsmanship had greatly improved. At this time, he received news that the security bureau would be coming to arrest people again.
Ye Liangchen decided to take the initiative and went to the Security Bureau. He stormed in alone, showing no fear in front of Li Wenyuan.
"You shouldn't have come to me. I'm not the murderer," Ye Liangchen said calmly.
