"What? Is there something wrong with this photo?" Li Wei took it and looked at it carefully.
He quickly turned his attention to the boy's face, frowning slightly, as if thinking about something.
"Does it look familiar?" Chen Zhong smiled.
Li Weier quickly took out his cell phone, fiddled with it for a while, and pulled up a photo. It was a group photo with the boy in the middle.
The caption on the photo is: Yan family.
That was ten years ago.
"This boy is Yan Chong," Chen Zhong said. "Ten years ago, he appeared in the same photo with the Duke of the White Tower Federation. Ten years ago, relations between the two countries were very poor, with frequent open conflicts. How did ten-year-old Yan Chong manage to do this under such circumstances?"
Li Shitan stroked his chin, trying to recall. "Ten years ago? Back then, Duke Zeus and his faction were indeed stirring up trouble like crazy, teaming up with the Divine Empire to launch a small-scale attack on the Red Flame Empire. Under such circumstances, the Yan family had no reason to appear in the Federation, let alone have their young master take a photo with the Duke."
"Unless?" Li Weier speculated, "In this photo, Yan Chong can only stand in a position not very close to the center, which means there is someone with even greater status in the center of the photo."
Chen Zhong clapped his hands. "Actually, the answer is already very clear. Yan Chong couldn't have gone to the Federation alone at that time. He must have been accompanied by his family elders. Tsk tsk! Uncle, please investigate the relevant incidents during this period. I want to see if the Yan family is colluding with foreign countries. If so, please be sure to collect evidence and wait for the right time to kill them with one blow!"
"Don't worry. I, Snow Dragon, may not be very good in a head-on confrontation, but when it comes to intelligence, Zeus can't beat me even with his ten legs." Li Shitan patted his chest. "Then I'll go first. You two should be careful when you go out. Odin has lost face and is deeply hurt. His father is not a kind man."
After Li Shitan left, Li Weier also had to leave for something. He had to meet the spies he had trained, and at the same time secretly investigate the matter of Yan Chong's photo.
As for Chen Zhong, who had nothing to do, he changed into low-key clothes, slipped out of the castle, and headed out of the peaceful Snow Dragon City towards Noah City.
He had some things to arrange and some field surveys to do.
Only by seeing it with his own eyes, hearing it with his own ears, and feeling it with his own body, can Chen Zhong feel truly at ease.
The college area of Noah City is just a small microcosm. He wants to experience the real Noah City firsthand, from the micro to the macro, and perceive more contradictions and weaknesses of the White Tower Federation.
I took a black car. The driver was an experienced one and knew the surrounding areas of these cities very well.
"Uncle, are there any fun places around here?" Chen Zhong asked, throwing two large bills into the center console.
The uncle is a talkative and warm-hearted person, but he needs money to stimulate this ability. After seeing Chen Zhong being so generous, he immediately smiled.
"Fun places?" The uncle smiled an indescribable smile. "There are so many!"
"Uh, no, no, no, that's too monotonous. I want to go somewhere more fun and exciting." Chen Zhong immediately changed the subject back on track.
The uncle thought for a moment, then hesitated, "I do know a place, but the journey there is a little risky."
Bang!
Chen Zhong threw down the ten-centimeter-thick banknote lightly.
"Ah! Actually, it's not that dangerous," the uncle was indeed a straightforward person. "Quan Lie Valley is located in a desperate valley twenty kilometers south of Noah City. It has a variety of entertainment activities. Of course, the most important one is the black boxing ring. There are many spiritual martial artists and many wealthy people spending lavishly there."
Chen Zhong narrowed his eyes. Such a place was full of good and bad people. It was indeed a good place to collect intelligence. However, he understood that with the arrangements made by the Grand Duke of Snow Dragon, he did not have to worry too much about the intelligence. When it came to collecting information, he, an outsider, could not compare with the father and son.
He needs to go fishing!
After all, ever since he left Snow Dragon City, someone has been following him closely.
Of course, it must be Chen Zhong who took the initiative to ask them to follow closely, otherwise it would be strange for them to find the person with such a quick escape.
"Which force controls that place? Are there any rules or something? Are there any particularly powerful people coming and going, such as a duke?" Chen Zhong asked.
The uncle pondered, "As for the controller, I heard it's the shady business of Grand Duke Zeus. The news isn't entirely reliable, but it definitely has a strong background. A Soul Tempering Realm Spiritual Warrior once died there, and no one dared to mention it the next day. As for the rules, there aren't really any, just don't cause trouble. Well... anyone who goes in and out there, from pickpockets and thieves to wealthy Noahs, I've even seen the Duke of Frost's butler show up there before!"
"Is that so? Thank you for the reminder, uncle." Chen Zhong said with a smile.
There was no conversation along the way. The car passed the suburbs of Noah City, headed south, drove into the wilderness, and climbed over the mountain road. When many modified cars appeared around, Chen Zhong knew that they were about to reach their destination.
laugh……
Suddenly, smoke came out of the car's hood. The driver patted the steering wheel helplessly and parked the car at the edge of the woods.
"Little brother, it's only another ten minutes' walk. My car has a problem, so you might have to go by yourself..."
"It's okay, I can walk over." Chen Zhong got out of the car.
Looking at Chen Zhong's back, the uncle's eyes suddenly became sinister. He took out a revolver from his arms, pointed it at the back of Chen Zhong's head and was about to fire.
Bang!
Chen Zhong was safe and sound, but the car exploded, and the driver next to him flew into the sky and then scattered all over the ground.
Cause of the explosion - exploding talisman.
Who are you plotting against?
