Should we seek help from other large families?
The head of the Long family thought for a moment and then rejected the idea.
When adults interact, everyone knows each other, and everyone knows what's going on in each other's lives.
They're all old foxes, as cunning as monkeys.
Asking them for help comes at a great cost; you'll inevitably have to split the treasure map or divide the treasure into several pieces after it's found.
This is unreasonable and impossible.
So the head of the Long family dialed the number of the 'Heavenly Soldier'.
Tianbing is an organization, a code name, belonging to a secret Chinese agency. It wields considerable power and controls some unknown intelligence and local resources.
They have the power of life and death; in other words, I don't care what you think, I only care what I think.
That's how domineering they are.
Anyone they deemed worthy of death was to be killed without mercy.
Regardless of status or official rank, it doesn't matter. We'll deal with things the way they should be, no one will be given any extra authority, and there will be no special treatment.
The Heavenly Soldiers represent the heavens above, and also a sharp sword from above.
Execution first, notification later, a privilege granted by imperial authority.
This area of the capital city was a key location for the Heavenly Army.
However, they tend to turn a blind eye to many things and are not willing to get involved in everything.
For example, when the Long family was attacked repeatedly, they chose to turn a blind eye and watch from the sidelines.
Don't the heavenly soldiers know?
No!
No matter how big or small the events in the capital city occurred, they could not escape the notice of the Heavenly Soldiers.
How could they possibly know nothing?
"Hello, who is this?" I thought it would be a frail old man, but to my surprise, a beautiful and pleasant voice came from the phone.
"Long family, Long Qixiang," the head of the Long family introduced himself.
"Oh? It's Elder Long. Why are you calling me all of a sudden? That's strange," the woman said in surprise.
"How has Miss Lin been lately?"
"Thanks to Elder Long, everything is fine." The two exchanged pleasantries for a while, their feigned politeness bordering on the insincere.
"Miss Lin, are you in the capital right now?" Long Qixiang asked.
"Old Master Long, would you perhaps like to invite me for tea? But that will have to wait a while; I won't be able to return until next month."
"Miss Lin isn't here." Long Qixiang said with a hint of disappointment.
"Elder Long, please speak frankly. There's no need for such beating around the bush. If there's nothing else, I'll get back to work," Lin Qingyan said quickly and directly.
"Miss Lin, wait a moment. Although you are not in the capital, you must have heard about what happened there."
"I'm sorry, Elder Long, I've arranged for someone to manage the people in the capital, and I'm not currently concerned about them." Lin Qingyan's words were half true and half false.
It's true that she wasn't in the capital; it's false that she knew about the Long family's affairs.
"Miss Lin, you must be joking. The capital is in complete chaos. There's no way you wouldn't have received any information."
"If Elder Long doesn't believe me, there's nothing I can do. That's it." Lin Qingyan made a gesture as if to hang up.
"Miss Lin, please don't be in a hurry, I still have something to say."
"Speaking."
"The Long family has made a request to the Heavenly Soldiers, hoping they can lend me a hand," Long Qixiang said solemnly.
"Elder Long, I'm not in the capital, so I can't help you," Lin Qingyan said helplessly, revealing her frustration at being unable to do anything about it.
“The headquarters of the Heavenly Army is in the capital. How could Miss Lin be unable to help?” Long Qixiang shamelessly pleaded. “The Long family has recently suffered multiple attacks, resulting in heavy losses and unbearable suffering. Moreover, these attacks occurred in such an important place as the capital, which has a significant impact. The Heavenly Army must step forward and take action.”
"If we alarm the higher-ups, it will be difficult for either of us to explain ourselves."
"Elder Long, tell me what happened." Lin Qingyan wanted him to explain; how could she refuse without explaining?
Lin Qingyan never intended to get involved.
The Long family embezzled the treasure map, and now they're in trouble and have sought help from the heavenly soldiers.
What kind of logic is that?
Why should you take all the benefits while I do the work?
That makes no sense.
The heavenly soldiers were not innocent victims, nor were they anyone's henchmen.
You're just bored and have nothing better to do than help the Long family solve their problems.
Do you think everyone has a lot of free time?
Furthermore, she has another identity, so it's impossible for her to help, absolutely impossible.
No matter how much you talk about it, it's all destined to be for nothing.
Elder Long explained everything clearly. It's currently causing a huge uproar and is known to everyone. The Heavenly Soldiers could easily find out with a simple search.
The information is all rotten.
Being dishonest is just making things difficult for yourself.
"Elder Long, I'm afraid I can't help with this." Lin Qingyan politely declined.
"The Heavenly Soldiers are an organization from above. Is there anything you can't handle?"
"It's not that it can't be done, it's that it's forbidden," Lin Qingyan explained. "Have you forgotten the rules of the Heavenly Soldiers? They're not allowed to get involved in matters of the martial world?"
“Miss Lin, this is no longer a matter of the martial arts world; it’s extraordinary. So many people have died or been injured, seriously threatening public order and ordinary people.” Long Qixiang was extremely anxious.
"I'm sorry, Mr. Long, you should go find someone else. I'll hang up now."
"Wait." Long Qixiang had already called for a halt three times, which showed how stressed and frustrated he was.
"How about this: if the heavenly soldiers are willing to help, we can split the treasure they dig up in half."
"Old Long, have you forgotten something? Everything dug up from below belongs to the higher-ups. You're forcing me to make a mistake."
"Ugh!" Long Qixiang slapped his forehead, wishing he could slap himself twice.
I forgot everything when I got anxious.
That's amazing.
He's got a brain bubble.
“Miss Lin, this…this…” Long Qixiang stammered, feeling extremely embarrassed.
"I will keep the topic we discussed today a secret. Just pretend that Mr. Long never called me."
"Beep beep beep..." Lin Qingyan pressed the hang-up button.
"That's interesting. Junior Brother really screwed over the Long family. They were practically begging for their mothers on their knees." Lin Qingyan muttered to herself.
"The Long family deserved it! Greed knows no bounds; who gave them the right to covet the treasure map?"
"He only got what he deserved."
"And that brat Li Changfeng needs to be taught a lesson too. Next time he asks me for help, he'll have to say three cartloads of nice things before he even gets a chance."
“Last night, I deliberately let him take advantage of me, and he didn’t say a word. I was being blunt enough, he must have understood.”
"My junior brother doesn't have even the slightest feeling for me, does he?"
"That shouldn't be the case. Apart from having a bad temper, I'm practically perfect, okay? If I had video chatted yesterday, I would have made my junior brother's nose bleed three meters away."
"My perfection isn't on the surface, but inside—the inner beauty beneath my clothes," Lin Qingyan said proudly and self-satisfiedly.
Is there something special about it? Is there something about it that makes it different from ordinary people?
We dare not say, we dare not ask.
The most surprising thing is that Li Changfeng's fourth senior sister is actually the leader of the Heavenly Army.
Outside, in front of her subordinates, she was still fiery and had a terrible temper, but she was upright, dignified and aloof.
But in front of her junior brother, she was unrestrained, outspoken, and carefree.
There is a stark contrast.
In fact, all of Li Changfeng's senior sisters were in the same situation, roughly the same.
