Chapter 145 Prohibition
"I didn't expect that woman to be the zombie killer that was trending on the Internet a few days ago. I really underestimated her."
Xi Xian also frowned, with a hint of reprimand in his tone:
"Why didn't you tell me such a big thing earlier?"
"We are at a critical moment now. If we are discovered for what we have done, we could go to jail for life or even be shot."
Jiang Chuntao sighed, muttered a few words, and then knew she was in the wrong and stopped talking.
The villa fell into a strange silence, and Feng Tianning was so surprised that he was speechless.
After the Qinling Dragon Vein incident, Director Cai said that most of the responsible persons had been dismissed, and only a few had fled abroad.
She had almost forgotten about this matter, but now she said that Xi Xian was behind the scenes, and the zombie incident was also related to him.
Feng Tianning hesitated for a moment, but still sent a message to Director Cai, telling him about Xi Xian.
She pricked up her ears and wanted to hear more, but Jiang Chuntao and Xi Xian had already shifted the topic to Zhang Ping's family.
"The man whose leg was broken went to the special case team. I'm worried that he will disrupt our plans."
Jiang Chuntao sneered:
"Those weaklings in the special case team wouldn't dare to attack us even if they knew."
"What's more, our external image has always been one of integrity and selflessness. Who would believe the one-sided words of a madman?"
Xi Xian looked at her disapprovingly and said:
"That person is very capable. He even found the Yincha and the City God. If he hadn't helped us, how could I still be standing here alive?"
Xi Xian wanted to speak again, but was interrupted by Jiang Chuntao:
"Didn't my elders send that Buddhist monk to you? With him here, what are you worried about?"
"What a son-in-law, spineless and irresponsible."
Jiang Chuntao's tone was full of disgust:
"Hurry up and urge the cooperation with that Corpse Cultivation Sect. My flight is booked for a month from now. Once we get the money, we'll run away immediately."
"He's already been caned by the City God and will die within seven days. By then, even if the special case team wants to take charge, they won't be able to find the victim. Can they really go to the King of Hell to snatch him away? What's there to be afraid of?"
"It's time to clear out those people in your basement. He was willing to help us once or twice, but if he comes a few more times, I'm afraid..."
After hearing this, the uneasiness on Xi Xian's face eased a little, and he did not refute Jiang Chuntao's words.
He touched his son's head, and a vicious look flashed in his eyes.
Seeing that Jiang Chuntao was about to leave the villa, Feng Tianning hurriedly pulled Zhang Pingjia, who was full of anger, to hide aside.
"Calm down." She lowered her voice and whispered in Zhang Pingjia's ear.
Zhang Pingjia took a deep breath, clenched his fists and watched Jiang Chuntao's back as she left.
As soon as Jiang Chuntao left, an old man with a white beard came up from the basement.
The moment he saw his face, Zhang Pingjia was completely speechless.
"Mr. Nanshan, thank you for your help."
"If you hadn't bribed the ghost messenger and the City God, I would be in big trouble."
Nanshan Layman stroked his beard and laughed, saying:
"I don't know where that Zhang Ping family got the news about me, and I don't know where they saw the idea that I could file a complaint. If I hadn't stopped him in time, our cooperation with Sakura Country would have been delayed again."
That’s right, the person standing in front of them was the Nanshan layman whom they had just met a few hours ago.
Xi Xian's face was full of flattery, and he wanted to worship him.
"The art of raising corpses is extremely complex, and only a cultivator like you can master it. I'll have to rely on you a lot in the future."
"If you hadn't sent so many people to protect me, I would have died at the hands of those mercenaries."
Mr. Nanshan laughed a few times and was very pleased with Xixian's flattery.
Zhang Pingjia stood there blankly as if struck by lightning, looking at Nanshan Jushi with disbelief.
He couldn't believe that the person who had shared his hatred and supported him in his revenge just a few hours ago was now standing against him and was the mastermind behind his murder. Looking at the state of Zhang Ping's family, Feng Tianning became a little worried and pulled him to leave the villa.
But Mr. Nanshan glanced in their direction as if he had sensed something, his brows tightly furrowed.
Zhang Pingjia's heart was about to jump out of his chest at this moment. He covered his mouth tightly for fear of making any sound.
Feng Tianning actually wanted to say more than that. The invisibility technique was her magic spell, and even a cultivator of Nanshan Jushi's level could not break it.
Sure enough, Mr. Nanshan looked away after a moment.
"Mr. Xi, it's inconvenient for me to stay here for too long, so I'll leave first."
Xi Xian hurriedly nodded and bowed as he sent him outside.
Just as he was about to leave, Nanshan Lay Buddhist seemed to remember something and suddenly said:
"Zhang Ping's family is nothing to be afraid of. But the agent with him seems to be from the Feng family. You should be careful when dealing with her."
"They will definitely come looking for you, so when they do, you must bring the person I left for you with you."
Xi Xian nodded hurriedly and sent him away respectfully.
The moment he turned around, the smile on Xi Xian's face disappeared instantly.
"You old thing, you dare to yell at me? One day I'm going to throw you and Jiang Chuntao into the sea to feed the fish."
After leaving the villa, Feng Tianning and Zhang Pingjia returned to the special case team.
She looked at Zhang Pingjia with a complicated expression and said:
"You want to file a complaint yourself?"
Zhang Pingjia had not yet recovered from the news that Nanshan Jushi wanted to harm him. After a long while, he nodded blankly and said:
"The day my leg was broken, a book suddenly appeared in my house."
"The book says that reporting to the underworld can allow my sister to enter the reincarnation cycle and not suffer the torture that Xixian said."
Zhang Pingjia sighed and continued:
"I just wanted to help my sister, so I believed the book."
"But I still had some doubts in my heart, so I found Nanshan Jushi on the recommendation of a friend and wanted to ask him whether this book was credible."
Feng Tianning frowned:
"Where is your friend?"
Zhang Pingjia pondered for a long time, and the expression on his face gradually turned into confusion.
"I don't remember." Zhang Pingjia shook his head in confusion.
Feng Tianning also understood that the person who asked him to come to him and to find Nanshan Jushi was probably the same person.
"Do you still want revenge?"
Feng Tianning asked seriously.
Xi Xian was involved in the Qinling Dragon Vein case and the Southwest Zombie case, and the troubles in the future will probably be even greater.
Zhang Pingjia gave a bitter smile:
"I don't have more than seven days left to live. If I don't drag him down with me, I really... can't face my sister."
"Okay, I'll help you."
There was a hint of hope on Zhang Pingjia's face.
"What should we do? We just heard everything from stealth mode, and we have no evidence..."
