The waiter had never faced such a terrifying psychological attack before. With just a few words, he felt as if the person in front of him had seen right through him, which terrified him.
Some even found it hard to believe.
Zhu Yunwen's words were often like a needle, hitting the nail on the head, even piercing the waiter's heart, making him panic but not daring to show it at all.
Zhao Qingzhu looked at Zhu Yuntong with admiration. She had already witnessed Zhu Yuntong's prowess; with just a few words, he could make people understand many things clearly without them even realizing it.
But I've learned something new today. The waiter didn't say a word afterward, yet Zhu Yunwen still analyzed everything clearly.
Then Zhu Yunwen continued:
"Yes, such a serious thing happened in a place. Even if there really were ghosts or monsters causing it, wouldn't the local officials know to report it to their superiors?"
If we report it, the higher authorities will surely have a way of dealing with it, but obviously they don't, because if we report it, the higher-level government and the imperial court will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly.
They wouldn't be allowing so-called ghosts to continue kidnapping young and beautiful women like they are now. So there must be a problem here, which is that the local government is intentionally covering this up.
Or rather, it's about protecting the boss behind this. So you're not afraid I'll send you to the authorities, because the authorities will definitely protect you and might not even punish you at all.
The waiter unconsciously swallowed, and Zhu Yunwen glanced at him, naturally seeing this.
The fact that such a subtle action happened right after Zhu Yunwen finished speaking naturally indicates that he was very nervous, and Zhu Yunwen's words were basically correct.
Zhu Yunwen continued, saying:
"Now that the government is involved in this matter, things are much easier. Some things are too deeply rooted to be addressed effectively."
However, if this matter involves the government, it will be much easier to handle, because the higher-level government has absolute power to exert pressure on the lower-level government.
This will make the matter much clearer and easier to resolve.
At this point, the waiter finally couldn't bear the psychological pressure of Zhu Yunwen's self-talk, which had analyzed everything so clearly.
He couldn't help but speak up:
"If what you say is true, and the government is protecting us, yet you still dare to send me to the government, aren't you just courting death?"
His question, ironically, confirmed that all of Zhu Yunwen's guesses were correct.
Because if it were incorrect, the waiter would likely disdain answering those questions, let alone asking them.
The reason he's asking questions now is because he's worried and scared, so he wants to ask for information that he feels might be useful to him.
So now, it's not Zhu Yunwen who's in a passive position anymore; instead, it's the waiter who's in a passive position, and he's the one who's eager to know why Zhu Yunwen is doing certain things.
Instead of Zhu Yunwen asking the waiter again.
This shift in status also demonstrates just how capable Zhu Yunwen was.
So Zhu Yunwen pouted and said:
"You must be very curious, but I can tell you that I'm not afraid. As I said, some things are actually easier to resolve if they involve the government."
Because there are always other government agencies that can suppress this problematic one. Especially in the current Ming Dynasty, where regulations are so strict.
If there are problems with this government, they will be easily discovered, and the officials in this government will be even more worried, as this matter may affect them.
So, they might directly and ruthlessly kill. But who would they kill?
It could be me, but I'm not so easy to kill. If I'm not easy to kill, then who should I target to resolve this matter? Naturally, it would be someone he's protecting..."
The waiter looked terrified, staring intently at Zhu Yunwen because he believed Zhu Yunwen was right after hearing his words.
In fact, local officials were involved in this matter, and they did protect them.
The local officials had accepted bribes from them, but if this were exposed, the local government would be finished.
If local officials don't want this matter to be exposed and want to keep their positions...
There are only two ways.
One option was to kill Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu, who had discovered the problem.
However, Zhu Yunwen and Zhao Qingzhu are clearly not people who are easy to kill. If they were, things wouldn't have turned out this way.
They were able to escape unscathed from both conspiracies, not only because of their superior martial arts skills, but also because Zhu Yunwen possessed extraordinary intelligence.
It would obviously not be easy for the authorities to kill these two people.
If the government cannot kill the two people who discovered the problem, then in order to protect certain officials in their government, they will definitely try to solve the problem themselves.
Moreover, the solution was very thorough.
If they don't let anyone realize they're involved, then solving the problem means dealing with the so-called Ghost-Faced Rakshasa, and those who helped the Ghost-Faced Rakshasa kidnap girls, including the mastermind behind it all.
After thinking things through, the waiter looked at Zhu Yunwen and said:
"You're terrifying. Just by being here, with just a few words, you've shown me several horrible outcomes. And you... are practically invincible..."
