Based on Tao Sheng's revelation of many hidden truths under Zheng Ya's supernatural and psychedelic influence, Lao Yuan deduced that Tao Sheng had been used as a pawn.
As Tao Sheng was hypnotized by Zheng Ya's planning abilities, with each hypnotic session lasting one minute, Tao Sheng was prompted to reveal more details of the case, completely exposing his clownish nature.
First, Tao Sheng was determined to become stronger. Taking advantage of the convenience of changing his appearance with the Thousand-Faced Butcher, he searched the world for martial artists, killed them to absorb their essence and blood, and practiced the Thousand-Faced Bone Shrinking Technique to become stronger.
He inadvertently offended ninjas, monks, Taoists, Gu practitioners, and their subordinate gangs, triggering several major battles. In the end, he was captured after being caught in a trap set by the other side.
Prisoner of war and deserter were the most sensitive and taboo words for Tao Sheng. Coupled with his cowardice and fear of death, he was tortured into confessing by the opposing forces.
After Tao Sheng confessed, the seven major factions that were temporarily revealed decided to give Tao Sheng a chance to live. They created chaos to lure out the mysterious person and seize the mysterious person's Muchen Pearl Gold Foil. Tao Sheng submitted in order to save his life.
Since then, Tao Sheng has changed his appearance to get close to the leaders of various units. On the one hand, he studies the words and actions of the leaders so that he can disguise himself as a leader and act conveniently. On the other hand, he searches for target people to gain their identities so as to make contact with the leaders and high-level targets.
At a party, Tao Sheng saw Lei Yanyun, the daughter of Brigade Commander Lei, drinking too much at a classmate gathering. He then disguised himself as Tao Xiangdong, who was drunk and had made a mistake, and successfully won over Lei Yanyun. He mistakenly thought he was very charming and was happy for a while. However, after discovering that Lei Yanyun was pregnant, he realized what had happened.
Lei Yanyun was only drunk when Tao Xiangdong took her body, which is why she chose to marry him as Tao Xiangdong's substitute. However, this aggravated Tao Sheng's mind, and he decided to destroy Lei Yanyun's family.
It's worth mentioning that Tao Sheng knew from the beginning that Wu Wei was the mysterious man's daughter, not that Zheng Ya was the mysterious man's son, as the information found by the seven major forces indicated.
This misunderstanding was naturally caused by Tian Juan and Fu Qingyao switching custody of the child.
This incident became Tao Sheng's leverage to turn defeat into victory.
Unfortunately, in the course of the plan, Zheng Ya, who had lived three lives, repeatedly disrupted Tao Sheng and the plans of the seven major powers.
In the two matters of plotting to inherit the secret manual of Lu Ban and seizing confidential documents from a classified unit, Tao Sheng's true colors were exposed. This forced Tao Sheng to fear that he would become a scapegoat for the people of the seven major forces. He then revealed the true identities of Elena and Zheng Ya in order to quell the chaos among the people of the seven major forces. This prompted the people of the seven major forces to focus on plotting against Wu Wei as a new target and dealing with the military and police forces, thus making them less vigilant in preventing Tao Sheng from profiting from the situation.
Originally, everything was going well. Tao Sheng was hiding on the sidelines watching the excitement and waiting for an opportunity to act. He saw the seven major forces take hostages and arrange for people to cause trouble in various units, forcing out the mysterious person to deliver the Muchen Pearl. However, Zheng Ya ruined all his plans in one fell swoop.
Of course, Tao Sheng deliberately facilitated this.
Because Tao Sheng was the closest person to Zheng Ya, although they had never met, he knew about Zheng Ya's strength as a martial arts master from people like Commander Lei, but kept it from the people of the seven major forces. Therefore, Tao Sheng used Zheng Ya as a pawn to deal with the people of the seven major forces, so that Tao Sheng could benefit from it.
Unfortunately, despite all his calculations, Tao Sheng captured Wu Wei but overlooked Zheng Ya, a major problem. Zheng Ya, in turn, sent a telegram exposing the Muchen Pearl Gold Foil, leading to the collapse and trajectory of the entire plan to obtain the Muchen Pearl Gold Foil.
Failure at the last minute was the outcome that Tao Sheng was most unwilling to see.
However, during this period, Tao Sheng traveled among the people of the seven major forces and obtained the most comprehensive information about the Muchen Pearl Gold Foil, far exceeding the information that the seven major forces kept to themselves.
No one can completely subdue the Muchen Pearl yet.
Approaching the Muchen Pearl, one's cultivation progresses by leaps and bounds.
However, there is only one month a year when one can get close to the Muchen Pearl, and it is fleeting.
Because approaching the Muchen Pearl requires navigating countless traps and mechanisms, which wastes a lot of time, the actual time available for cultivating with the Muchen Pearl is only three to five days.
Therefore, the Lu Ban's Secret Manual is a must-have item, and learning Lu Ban's mechanical skills will help in obtaining the Muchen Pearl.
Rumor has it that by gaining the approval of the Muchen Pearl, one can obtain its power to travel through time and space, change one's life, cultivate immortality, and attain eternal life.
After learning about the Muchen Pearl, Tao Sheng began to scheme against the people of the seven major forces, working to embezzle the Lu Ban inheritance manual and the Muchen Pearl's gold foil.
In the end, Zheng Ya thwarted the entire plan.
Zheng Ya thwarted the plans of the seven major forces to take leaders' relatives hostage, coordinate with various units to cause trouble, and force the mysterious person to appear.
This effectively destroyed Tao Sheng's plan to exploit the seven major forces.
All that's left is to fight to the death.
This directly terrified Commander Lei and his daughter, the old bureau chief, Fu Qingyao, and others. They were so anxious that they were practically numb. What should they do?
Wu Wei suddenly interjected: "Have you overlooked something?"
Tao Sheng never exposed his own shameful deeds; at times he looked ferocious as if he were about to realize his mistakes and regret them, and at other times he spoke frankly about his past.
The whole process revealed Tao Sheng's genuine feelings. Who among you would act like that? Isn't that strange?
"Ahem, my daughter takes after me, haha!" Old Yuan chuckled, earning a glare from Wu Wei, who wanted to retort but held back.
From childhood to adulthood, I've always envied children with fathers and dreamed of seeing my dad.
After all, Fu Qingyao had always taught her daughter to keep the fact that Wu Wei's father had sacrificed himself a secret from a young age.
On the surface, Political Commissar Wu is Wu Wei's biological father.
But in fact, Fu Qingyao knew that Wu Wei's biological father was someone else, so she naturally taught her daughter to face her deceased father and learn from the martyrs.
But this only intensified Wu Wei's longing for her biological father.
Now that her biological father has arrived, Wu Wei has not yet adapted to the change from Political Commissar Wu replacing her biological father to Lao Yuan becoming her biological father, and finds it difficult to let go and face the situation.
Old Yuan assumed it was just his daughter being shy around strangers and chuckled to himself, but it reminded Fu Qingyao, who then approached Zheng Ya and said, "Son, what did you do to Tao Sheng? Continue?"
"Ahem, haven't I mastered a martial arts will guidance technique?"
"The method is a bit cruel, but it's perfect for someone as heinous as Tao Sheng. If you have no objections, I'll use him as a guinea pig to try and get him to reveal the secret of a fight to the death." Zheng Ya lied on the spot to cover up the fact that he had supernatural abilities and magic.
Fu Qingyao hesitated. As a member of the military and police security department, she was not allowed to use torture on prisoners.
Even when Brigade Commander Lei and his daughter anxiously returned, wanting Zheng Ya to torture Tao Sheng to his heart's content and guide him to reveal the secret of their desperate struggle, they just couldn't bring themselves to say it.
The old director was in the same boat, extremely anxious, but the principle of using vigilante justice and abuse against thugs could not be overturned!
Old Yuan was displeased: "Xiao Zheng, neither of us are military or police personnel, so just do as you please. Hurry up, time waits for no one!"
"Ahem, the sun is about to set, isn't it?" Wu Wei didn't explicitly say anything that violated principles, but she was hinting that Zheng Ya should torture Tao Sheng...
