The Hall of Repentance was divided into more than a dozen smaller halls.
But at this moment, it seemed empty, except for a disheveled woman in the darkest corner of the hall, chained to a large pillar, her eyes lifeless.
Are you Zhou Zhan's wife?
Ye Qiu asked directly.
"Get out, get out of here."
The quiet woman suddenly went berserk, desperately lunging at Ye Qiu, letting out beast-like growls.
"Don't misunderstand, I'm not one of Yang Ji's men. I'm here to rescue you," Ye Qiu said.
"Rescue me? Haha, do you think I'd believe you? Is it that old bastard Yang Ji who sent you to trick me again, trying to get the Dragon-Seeking Technique out of me?"
Dragon-seeking technique?
Ye Qiu's eyes lit up, and he instantly understood why Yang Ji hadn't killed this woman all these years—it was all for the sake of obtaining this so-called Dragon-Seeking Technique.
"I'll say it again, I'm not with Yang Ji, and I don't know anything about the Dragon Seeking Technique."
"But now, I need to get rid of Yang Ji, and I desperately need your help. If you're willing to help me, I'll rescue you." Ye Qiu said seriously.
"How can I help you?" The woman slightly raised her eyes, her face covered in grime. "My cultivation has been destroyed. I'm a cripple. I can't help you."
"Do you still remember Zhou Zhan's cloud drive password? If some of your videos with Yang Ji could be made known to the world, it could ruin Yang Ji's reputation."
Of course, I know this is difficult for you, because it involves personal privacy... When the time comes, you just need to choose some less explicit evidence.
"You want to ruin Yang Ji's reputation?"
“That’s right.” Ye Qiu said seriously, “I was originally a student of the Jiedao Academy. Winning the Tongcheng League led to the Tongcheng Academy…”
Ye Qiu quickly recounted the events to the woman.
After hearing this, the woman's eyes widened: "What did you say? Brother Wu was killed by him? How could he do such an inhuman thing? Brother Wu was his fellow disciple."
"What?" Ye Qiu was startled. "How come I didn't know about this?"
"Few people know about this. Okay, young man, I believe you now. Get me out of here, I can help you." The woman said through gritted teeth, "That beast Yang Ji, I will make him pay a terrible price."
"good."
Ye Qiu cleaved open the iron gate with a single palm strike, entered the room, and helped the woman escape.
Afterwards, Ye Qiu carried her on his back and quickly left, climbing over the wall and entering the grove again.
After passing through the grove, Ye Qiu did not choose to go through the main gate of the academy, but instead stepped over the tall wall and went straight to the outside of the academy.
Then, Ye Qiu rushed back to the Jiedao Academy.
Inside the academy, Wu Manman, Tian Hao, and the others were still waiting for news from Ye Qiu.
Everyone was overjoyed to see Ye Qiu return at this moment.
"Boss, I thought you'd kicked the bucket." Tian Hao wiped his nose, almost bursting into tears.
"Get out of here, you can't expect anything good to come out of a dog's mouth." Ye Qiu kicked Tian Hao.
Immediately, Ye Qiu said to Wu Manman, "Manman, take this lady to wash up and change her clothes. After you're done, if you have a computer in your room, let her use it. If not, I'll have Tian Hao bring it over."
"There's a computer, but... who... who is she?"
Wu Manman was suspicious. The woman Ye Qiu brought back reeked of a foul odor, and her face was covered in grime. She didn't look like a normal person at all.
"Don't worry about these things for now. Just do as I say. She'll tell you the specifics later," Ye Qiu said.
"Okay." Wu Manman smiled wryly.
"Sister, you've worked hard." The woman smiled; although she was covered in dirt, her teeth were very white.
"Sister, please come with me."
"OK."
The two women went into the room together.
...
"Brother Ye, who is this woman?" Gu Si asked curiously.
"Have you heard of Zhou Zhan?" Ye Qiu asked.
"Zhou Zhan?" Gu Si was surprised: "Who hasn't heard of him? Zhou Zhan is Yang Ji's apprentice. Many years ago, he was invincible throughout Tongcheng."
Later, however, a rumor circulated that Yang Ji and Zhou Zhan's wife seemed to have some kind of messy relationship.
Then, Zhou Zhan died suddenly and mysteriously, and his wife also vanished without a trace, leaving everyone sighing with regret. If Zhou Zhan... wait, no, that woman from earlier...
“That’s right, she is Zhou Zhan’s wife,” Ye Qiu said with a smile.
hiss.
Gu Si and the others gasped in disbelief.
"Boss, your taste has changed. You actually like Zhou Zhan's wife? Are you going to take over her?" Tian Hao's eyes widened.
“Bring your grandpa here. She’s been imprisoned by Yang Ji all these years. I brought her back this time to ask her to help us. She has some secrets and can find videos and photos of her and that old bastard Yang Ji.”
Once Yang Ji's scandal is exposed, that old scoundrel will be utterly disgraced, and no one can save him.
Ye Qiu's eyes were icy cold.
"If we can really find videos and photos, this illicit relationship will surely send Yang Ji to hell."
Moreover, Yang Ji is suspected of murdering Zhou Zhan and imprisoning Zhou Zhan's wife for many years. His crimes are heinous, and the prefectural government can arrest him directly. He could be considered a repeat offender. Gu Si's expression was serious, and she glanced at Tian Hao.
"Why are you looking at me?" Tian Hao asked, puzzled.
Ye Qiu smiled slightly and said, "Tian Hao, you need to go home and discuss it with your father. Ask him to prepare the necessary personnel to cooperate with my operation to arrest Yang Ji and other related individuals involved in the case, such as Elder Chang Wei."
