Chapter 174 I'll trip them up

The third time he came to Xu Qianqian's villa, Su Ming no longer went to the reception room or the backyard, but came to Xu Qianqian's room.

Xu Qianqian brought Su Ming into her room, which surprised Su Ming who realized it later.

What surprised Su Ming even more was the decoration style of Xu Qianqian's room.

This room has neither the pink color of a girl nor the splendor of children from a large family. Instead, it looks extremely plain, simple and monotonous.

"Why? Surprised?"

Seeing Su Ming's surprised expression, Xu Qianqian asked this question lightly.

"A little bit." Su Ming reacted, scratched his face, and said: "But, think about it carefully, this seems to be your style."

There is no need for too many gorgeous decorations, nor for too much superficial effort. The girl named Xu Qianqian has always been simple, clear and straightforward.

That is, I wonder if such a life would be too boring for this young lady.

"My room at Xu's house is not like this."

I don’t know if Xu Qianqian saw what Su Ming was thinking when she said this.

"Of course, I don't like that home very much."

After saying that, Xu Qianqian turned to Su Ming.

"Where's Xiao Haier?"

As expected, the first thing the young lady paid attention to was the pet she had once taken care of.

"Mi Ling!"

Before Su Ming could say anything, the mermaid girl dispelled the fog with a cry of joy, appeared in the room, and pounced on Xu Qianqian.

Xu Qianqian took it and her cold face softened a lot involuntarily.

"It looks like you're doing well."

Xu Qianqian touched the little head of the mermaid girl in her arms, making the mermaid girl smile.

This scene made Su Ming shake his head and sigh.

It is said that if girls want to improve their relationship, it is very simple. A qualified topic and a little speculation are enough. This is really true.

Even the cold-tempered Miss Xu and the timid and shy Phantom Demon Girl could have such a good relationship after spending some time together. It was really a bit unscientific.

Fortunately, Su Ming didn't try to understand girls' thinking.

He took out the ID card with the word "Wang" on it from his backpack and handed it to Xu Qianqian.

"This is what I got from that weird guy who turned into sand."

Su Ming handed the ID card to Xu Qianqian.

Xu Qianqian took it, took a look, and then confirmed it.

"Yes, this is the identity card of a member of the Wang family. Only people with Wang family blood can have it. The strange attackers who have appeared frequently in various places in Longyao City recently also have this thing."

Xu Qianqian said so.

"Are you sure?" Su Ming asked, "Are these people really all from the Wang family?"

"Confirmed." Xu Qianqian said with great confidence: "The people above have already verified their identities, and have confirmed that they are all from the Wang family, and all of them are owners of the Wang family's bloodline."

"Of course, these people are basically from the side branches."

Xu Qianqian returned the ID card to Su Ming.

But Su Ming didn't take it.

"The side branch?" Su Ming said thoughtfully, "What about the direct descendants of the Wang family?"

"There are only two direct descendants of the Wang family." Xu Qianqian said: "One is the current head of the Wang family, who is also the current mayor of Longyao City, and the other is the mayor's daughter, the only daughter of the direct descendant of the Wang family."

"So little?" Su Ming was stunned.

You know, big families, because of blood ties, have always advocated having more children and raising them more, and constantly expanding, so that the family can continue to grow and develop.

For example, Xu Qianqian's grandfather had several children, and these children also had several descendants, but Xu Yongfeng was the only daughter, Xu Qianqian.

But even so, the three generations of the Xu family still number dozens of people.

And what about the Wang family?

It is obviously one of the oldest and most powerful families in Longyao City, but there are only two direct descendants in the family, which is really strange.

This is what Xu Qianqian said about this.

"The Wang family is different from other families. The level of their bloodline is determined at birth. Only when the bloodline level reaches the standard will they be considered direct descendants. If the bloodline level does not meet the standard, they will be demoted to a collateral line."

Miss Xu recounted these events in a voice that was not very emotional.

"The current head of the Wang family, the mayor of Longyao City, Wang Xiao, has two older brothers, two younger brothers, and a younger sister, a total of six brothers and sisters, but he is the only one who has become a direct descendant of the family. The rest have all become collateral branches."

"Mayor Wang himself has three children, but only one of his daughters has the bloodline level required to be a direct descendant. The other two were adopted by people from the collateral line after they were born."

"Therefore, the Wang family's direct descendants have always been the smallest among all the major families."

However, the direct descendants organically selected through this method are all people with the most noble family bloodline.

Su Ming could almost imagine how outstanding these direct descendants of the Wang family were and how much potential they had.

For example, Mayor Wang Xiaowang is a high-level professional, and his level is as high as five stars.

As for his daughter, Su Ming was not sure.

"What's going on now?" Su Ming pointed at the ID card in Xu Qianqian's hand and said, "How come all these collateral members of the Wang family have become like that?"

That weird look was obviously abnormal.

Since the senior people in Longyao City had already discovered these things, they must have conducted a thorough investigation and obtained some information.

As Xu Qianqian is the eldest daughter of the Xu family and her father is a member of the senior management of Longyao City, she must have a lot of secret information in this regard.

Otherwise, why would Xu Qianqian call me over in the middle of the night to talk face to face? It was simply because such secret information could not be casually discussed over the phone.

As expected, "although it has not been confirmed yet"

Xu Qianqian raised her eyes and looked at Su Ming.

"But after analysis by experts, they all agreed that these members of the Wang family were most likely sacrificed in some cruel ritual."

When these words came out of Xu Qianqian's mouth, even Su Ming felt a chill running through his body.

"Sacrifice?"

Su Ming's expression changed slightly.

"Yes." Xu Qianqian also looked a little heavy, and said: "These Wang family members have actually been drained of blood, and their vitality has long been exhausted. Only an empty shell is left. They were casually discarded by the organizer of the ceremony, so they are wandering around Longyao City like zombies."

They have no sense because they are already dead.

When they look for food, it's probably just their body's instinct that's at work.

They should have become mummies, exposed in the wilderness, but because of the ritual, some side effects of the ritual remained on their bodies, causing them to be neither alive nor dead, and could only wander like the walking dead.

"Who on earth did such a thing?"

Su Ming sighed, offering a moment of silence for these poor people.

"The perpetrator has not yet been identified." Xu Qianqian continued, "Originally, the people above suspected the superior phantom demon who had not yet been found."

After all, the Wang family members died by having their blood drained. This way of death would naturally make people suspect the phantom demon first.

But this incident was obviously not done by the phantom demon.

"When a phantom demon sucks blood, it will only drain the blood out of a person. Unless there are special circumstances, it will not be able to turn a person into a walking corpse after draining the blood out like this." Xu Qianqian said: "Also, the ritual power left on the Wang family members is also not like that of a phantom demon."

Why is it necessary to hold a ceremony when the phantom demon is sucking blood?

Even though the higher-level phantom demons have intelligence no less than that of humans, artificial signs such as rituals are still only performed by humans, and phantom demons generally cannot do such things.

Therefore , "people above still suspect that there are unidentified forces behind this matter."

Xu Qianqian told Su Ming these things.

"Maybe it's really a good deed done by a 'sinful' person, who knows."

This is a disaster.

Read the error-free version on 6Ⅹ9Ⅹ bookⅩ bar! 6Ⅹ9 book bar first publishes a novel.

The largest mercenary organization in the underground world actually committed atrocities in Longyao City and murdered the Wang family, using the Wang family as sacrifices in some kind of ritual. This has undoubtedly touched the bottom line of Base City.

If things go wrong, Longyao City might really be messed up by "evil" or even destroyed.

"Why is there so much disaster in this base city?"

Su Ming scratched his head, looking annoyed.

Since it involves the life and death of the entire base city, he has no way of staying out of it.

My family still lives in the key protection area in the city center, and all my friends are in the college, which is in Longyao City.

If Su Ming can stay out of it if something happens in Longyao City, he is not heartless, but conscienceless.

The worst thing is that "there is a high possibility that there are 'evil' accomplices among the high-ranking officials in Longyao City."

What Xu Qianqian said was exactly the bad situation that Su Ming had just thought of.

The two of them have not forgotten that the person who hired the "evil" people to hunt down Xiao Haier was among the high-ranking officials in Longyao City.

Among the high-ranking officials in Longyao City, there are accomplices of "evil", or at least partners, who are sharing what they have with each other.

"I have already told my father about all these things. He has teamed up with several high-ranking officials in Longyao City and is secretly looking for evidence to catch that person and get all the information from him."

Xu Qianqian looked at Su Ming and said, "I told you this because it is not unrelated to us."

Su Ming could understand what Xu Qianqian meant.

Originally, it was Su Ming and Xu Qianqian who found the "evil" mercenary group, eradicated it, and rescued Xiao Haier from their hands.

The senior officials in Longyao City who are hiding behind this must know about this matter.

At the very least, the other party must know that Xu Qianqian was involved in these things.

In this case, in order to avoid being caught, the other party is likely to send people to destroy the evidence, and then take action against Xu Qianqian and all the people close to Xu Qianqian.

"Of course, with my father and the others watching, the other party will definitely not be able to act recklessly." Xu Qianqian said: "But the worry is that the other party may continue to maintain contact with the 'evil' people, allowing the 'evil' people to take action."

All of this is just speculation.

It is still unknown whether it was the "evil" people who attacked the Wang family and used the Wang family as sacrifices in the ritual.

Don't be afraid of ten thousand, just be prepared for the worst.

As long as there is the slightest possibility, Xu Qianqian must remind Su Ming so that he can be mentally prepared.

It’s fine for her, the key still lies in Su Ming.

Who was it that dragged Su Ming into this mess in the first place?

Xu Qianqian was in a bad mood about this incident which had once again affected Su Ming.

If she had known that this matter was so complicated, she would never have let Su Ming help her with the investigation.

Fortunately, Su Ming's existence was not exposed, and others were unlikely to suspect that he assisted them.

Even if they suspect Su Ming, as long as they know that Su Ming has a relationship with Yun Langyue of the Yunliu Chamber of Commerce, even the "evil" people will have to weigh the severity of the matter carefully.

The "Yunliu Chamber of Commerce" has blossomed in four major base cities, and its nature is different from any family power in Longyao City.

The "evil" people are certainly not afraid of any threats from the "Yunliu Chamber of Commerce", but the nature of the "Yunliu Chamber of Commerce" is destined to not be wiped out in one fell swoop. It still has extensive connections and business channels. Who knows if there are some businessmen who are involved in the black market, the underworld, and have close contacts with some forces in the underworld?

Considering this, any doubts will disappear in the face of risks.

Thinking of this, and remembering that Su Ming's own strength was also extraordinary, Xu Qianqian felt a little relieved.

However, when Xu Qianqian thought that Su Ming might have to rely on the relationship with the "Yunliu Chamber of Commerce" to escape from her harm, her mood became extremely complicated again.

Su Ming had no idea that Xu Qianqian had thought so much.

He wasn't worried about being exposed.

But at the same time, he felt that if he brought Xiao Haier with him, he might still be targeted by these people with ulterior motives at any time.

In that case , "I can't help it. I'll do something."

Su Ming made this decision.

"what you up to?"

Xu Qianqian was slightly stunned.

Su Mingze suddenly smiled and said something.

"I'll give them a little trouble."

As he spoke, Su Ming flipped his hand and took out an item.

It was a firework-shaped thing.

"What's this?"

Xu Qianqian cast her gaze upon the fireworks.

Su Ming did not answer and also looked at the firework.

From his words we can clearly see the detailed introduction of this fireworks.

Obstruction Smoke Wave: An alchemical tool made of mountain ash from the Demonic Volcano in the Demonic Prison and special metal magnets. When launched into the air, the magnetic ash with obstructive properties can spread and cover a certain range, which has an obstructive effect on alchemical potions, alchemical tools, alchemical weapons, and even rituals with strange effects.

"this"

Xu Qianqian was shocked when she heard Su Ming's introduction.

She had never heard of the existence of such an alchemical tool.

But there is no doubt that this alchemical item, once used, can definitely produce an amazing hindering effect.

Su Ming really intends to trip up those guys who are doing evil things in secret.

Moreover, it was a big stumbling block.
