Chapter 1346: Chapter 1347: Miss, the brakes have failed (3)
An Yiqing’s watery eyes suddenly narrowed. "Brother, wait a minute, did you just say the Old Sect Leader of the Xuanqing Sect is Long Zaitian’s godfather? Isn’t the Xuanqing Sect only passed down to blood relatives?"
"Ahem, most people don’t know this, only a few ancient martial arts families in Jinyin City are aware. The previous Head of the Xuanqing Sect was named Du Ziteng. When he took Long Zaitian in, Long Zaitian was only ten years old. At that time, Du Ziteng had two sons who were about the same age as Long Zaitian. Later, as the kids grew older, Du Ziteng originally intended to pass the position to his eldest son. But then, the child died in a plane crash. In his grief, Du Ziteng planned to pass the position to his second son. Unfortunately, misfortunes never come singly, and the second son died of an illness a few years later. By then, Du Ziteng’s health was already in decline, so he had no choice but to pass the position of Head of the Xuanqing Sect to Long Zaitian. After Du Ziteng died, Long Zaitian sealed all this information away. If my father hadn’t known about it, I wouldn’t have known that Long Zaitian is actually Du Ziteng’s adopted son."
An Yiqing’s eyes narrowed slightly, a cold glint flashing through them. Both sons died? Is it really just a coincidence? And is there any connection to Long Zaitian?
"Brother, do you think this has anything to do with Long Zaitian..."
Yu Tianyou’s eyes flickered. "I know what you’re trying to ask; you’re suspecting that the deaths of Du Ziteng’s two sons were caused by Long Zaitian?"
An Yiqing did not speak, which served as an implicit confirmation.
"Du Ziteng wasn’t a fool; he also considered this possibility at the time. However, when his two sons had their mishaps, Long Zaitian had an impeccable alibi, and he didn’t find any suspicious points. Moreover, Du Ziteng’s second son died of lung cancer; no matter how skillful Long Zaitian might be, he couldn’t easily make someone die of illness."
An Yiqing’s gaze flickered but she didn’t speak. She didn’t tell Yu Tianyou that she had ten thousand ways to make someone die from a disease.
"Brother, can you get the most detailed information about the Xuanqing Sect?"
"I can. How much time do you need?"
"I want all the records from the time of Du Ziteng’s and Long Zaitian’s leadership of the Xuanqing Sect. I’m counting on you, Brother."
For the first time, An Yiqing realized that the secrets of the Xuanqing Sect were far more complex than she had imagined.
Perhaps, during this trip to Jinyin City, she would have many unexpected gains.
A few days later, early in the morning, An Yiqing received a phone call that made her furious.
Yuyuanzhai in Jinyin City received a bomb threat. If An Zhifeng hadn’t been there at the time, all the employees in the store might have been blown to pieces!
"Where is the bomb?!"
An Yiqing forcefully pushed open the large doors of Yuyuanzhai and strode in with a cold face.
An Zhifeng and Zhang Yu Sheng hurriedly greeted her as soon as they saw her arrive.
"The bomb is on the table in the inner hall."
"Is anyone hurt?" An Yiqing asked as she walked toward the inner hall.
"No, I was there at the time and felt something was off about the package, so I paid extra attention. Miss, this bomb has a sensor. Once the package is completely opened, the bomb will be exposed to light and immediately explode."
An Zhifeng was still feeling the shock. If he hadn’t been vigilant or had casually opened the package because he underestimated the bomb, he might have been blown to bits!
"This is simply too cruel! Who the hell would stoop so low as to not spare ordinary people?!" Zhang Yu Sheng said bitterly.
An Yiqing said nothing. She stood quietly in front of the package, her watery eyes slightly narrowed, a glimmer of light in them. At that moment, the tightly sealed box of the package seemed to transform into a transparent thin film in her eyes. Inside the box, a glaringly red bomb was blatantly displayed.
