The poor guy still felt it was inappropriate:
"It's hard to guarantee that Hua Qingyun doesn't have experts around her. With the help of Changfeng Pavilion and the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau, the people from the South Island might not be able to succeed."
Bao Ye chuckled strangely, "Who said it's only people from the Southern Island?"
The poor man's eyes lit up: "Could it be that the great one who creates gods has arrived?"
Bao Ye said slowly, "Elder 'Fox's' ship will arrive in a few days."
The poor man chuckled, then his expression changed slightly. He said, "But what if... the regional government starts a fight? If they come in with a lot of support, we won't come out on top either."
"Old ghost," Master Bao stopped what he was doing.
"Think about it, if [God Creation] didn't have anyone at the core of the region, how could it have fought against the region until now?"
"What kind of status would someone have in the region to help [the creation of a god] survive?"
The poor man suddenly realized: "It's that 'Imperial Official' elder who has been hiding in the region all along!"
He couldn't help but laugh:
"With two elders and people from the South Island here, even Hua Qingyun can't touch us!"
...
In the afternoon, Hua Changle got up after resting.
After speaking with Changfeng Pavilion, Hua Qingyun said, "Based on the clues we have so far, Eagle Hall and Blood Arena are the primary targets of our investigation, and the She family has the most frequent transactions with them."
Hua Changle said, "These two forces are not easy to deal with. They are both unscrupulous people. Brother, you must be careful when you go to Nancheng to investigate tomorrow."
“You should also keep these words in mind,” Hua Qingyun said.
"Oh, by the way, about that 'mule' you mentioned, I asked Feng Ye. There really is such a person."
"Mule is a member of the Jackal Gang. He's just a marginal figure in the gang, but it's said that he has connections with a core member and some background. He moves between several factions in the Seventh District, helping with all sorts of odd jobs. He's quite close to the Blood Arena and the Eagle Hall."
"Something's not right." Hua Changle keenly noticed the suspicious point.
"The Jackal Gang and the Eagle Hall are sworn enemies, so why does this mule have good relations with both sides?"
Hua Qingyun explained, "What Master Feng meant was that these two forces had asked him for favors quite often, rather than that they were close to each other."
Mule wasn't exactly a member of the Jackal Gang, and his actions didn't involve any of the gang's internal secrets, so neither side made trouble for him.
"Over the years, the mule has managed to survive without any major incidents."
Hua Changle nodded and then asked, "What about that Mang Ge? Does Big Brother know his whereabouts?"
When 422 investigated Mang Ge, who had been trading with She Jiameng, they discovered that his address was fake, which led to the loss of Mang Ge's location.
Hua Qingyun shook her head: "We asked around among Master Feng's men, and they all said they didn't know him or had never seen him before. We haven't found any trace of him yet."
Hua Changle recalled what 422 had told her—that Mang Ge was from Sunny Country—and then she remembered another group of people with connections:
"Where are those people who are said to have come from the southern sea?"
Hua Qingyun's eyes flashed, and she immediately realized: "You mean, this group of people, like Brother Mang, are involved in those businesses and are all from the South Island, so it's very likely that Brother Mang is with them?"
"Yes."
"The people from the South Island who can be traced are currently in the South City."
Hua Changle's heart tightened: "Big brother, you must be very careful."
“I understand.” Hua Qingyun looked at her with concern. “I’m more worried about you than myself.”
“They wouldn’t dare to take my life easily, no matter what methods they use, but you… I’m afraid they’ll do something desperate, like trying to intimidate me.”
"Is your brother afraid they'll make an example of me to intimidate you, this 'tiger'?"
Hua Qingyun nodded: "You feigned weakness and secretly investigated. Although they haven't discovered our plan yet, this has weakened your status and influence. It's hard to guarantee they won't take action."
"Don't worry, brother, I will be careful," Hua Changle assured him.
"I'll give you the way to contact the mule."
By evening, Ye Buqi had passed Iris's communication to Hua Changle.
Iris: [Hello Le Bao~ (Beautiful girl waving.gif)]
Hua Changle was taken aback. Was this older sister really that lively?
?: [Iris Sister]
Iris was silent for three seconds before sending a long voice message.
Hua Changle tentatively clicked on it, and a series of excited "Ah" sounds came from inside.
"Ahhhhh—Chang Le, you called me 'sister'! Wahahaha—"
The laughter was so loud that Hua Changle, who put his ear close to listen, almost lost his hearing.
This was followed by a series of "ding ding ding" message notifications:
Iris: [Sorry, I got too excited. I'm not usually like this!]
[Le Bao, can I call you that? Oh my god, I'm so excited! Waaaaah!]
Sorry for my outburst...
"Hey, I'm almost at the Cultural Relics Protection Bureau. Are you at the guesthouse?"
Oh right, there's another person from Tianji Tower with me, named Wei Liang.
[And another thing, I can't reveal my true identity. I'm disguised to be by your side. Le Bao has seen my beautiful face in photos before, so just remember it.]
After that, all I'll be able to do is follow you around with my ordinary-looking face.
Oh! How heartbreaking!
[I've gone off-topic; all I wanted to say was that I'm almost there.]
Hua Changle on the other end of the communication: ...
After careful consideration, Hua Changle still politely replied to the message.
?: [Okay, I understand. I'm at the guesthouse. I'll wait for my sister here.]
[Can my sister get in? Should I go get her?]
Iris: [No need, Wei Liang's identity is enough. Don't run around, stay here and wait for your sister!]
?: 【\(^o^)/~Okay!】
Not long after, Feng Tao, who had previously received them, arrived with two other people.
There was a man and a woman. The woman had short black hair, was slender and tall, and had an unremarkable appearance. The man had a sunny appearance, was about the same age as Hua Qingyun, and had a calm demeanor.
These two are Iris in disguise and Wei Liang from Tianji Tower.
Feng Tao saw the two off and then took his leave.
This time, however, there was something more in his eyes when he looked at Hua Changle.
Wei Liang, the fiancé of the young master of Tianji Tower and a member of the Wei family in the sixth district, actually came here, saying he was here for Hua Changle!
Feng Tao thought about it for a long time but couldn't figure out the reason, and his impression of Hua Changle became more mysterious.
As soon as Feng Tao left, Iris rushed over and squatted down beside Hua Changle's wheelchair, looking up and holding her hand: "Le Bao, I missed you so much! How come you've lost so much weight!"
Hua Changle was stunned: "Have we... known each other before?"
Iris stiffened for a moment before saying, "Ahaha, I forgot, you didn't see us last time."
"When you were attacked in District Nine, Luo Xuan and I received a message from Boss Ye and went to rescue you."
"But you were injured at the time and needed urgent treatment, so you were taken away by Lu Yanhuai's people. We didn't have a chance to get to know each other."
Hua Changle suddenly realized.
