Chapter Summary
With so many direct members of the Xue family, even if someone suspected them, it would be impossible to target them so accurately. All I know is that this thing was given to me by my grandfather, something like a family heirloom, but my grandfather has never asked about it, he just takes it out to look at it every now and then. Everyone who comes in and out will be checked, even if it’s twice a day.” Looking at Liu Ning and his group, the Xue family's guards showed no remorse whatsoever.
The Xue family placed this item on a young member of the Xue family's direct lineage. This young member was quite capable on his own and had strong guards around him. With so many direct members of the Xue family, even if someone suspected them, it would be impossible to target them so accurately.
To outsiders, Xue Yang was a top-tier figure, but within the Xue family, he kept a low profile, carrying the key for many years without any incident. Even he himself was unaware of its immense value.
All I know is that this thing was given to me by my grandfather, something like a family heirloom, but my grandfather has never asked about it, he just takes it out to look at it every now and then.
It was precisely because of the family's cold treatment that the key was safely kept on Xue Yang for so many years. They thought the matter was over, but who knew that this incident would happen? After Xuan Yang came of age, he wanted to go out of the city to hunt ferocious beasts. He had also received training in firearms, so he was even more eager to try it out outside the city.
This kid invited some friends and a few guards from his family, and went straight to this remote base city. The Xue family in the city didn't know about it until Xue Yang died. After he died, all his belongings were gone. Only when the news came down from above did the Xue family in the city realize that such an important thing had been lost.
Xue Qiang, the head of the Xue family in this city, is a powerful expert at the level of a high-level warrior. He is just one step away from reaching the level of a war god. He thought that he could retire after two years and then go into seclusion. After reaching the level of a war god, he could be given the title of elder. However, he did not expect that such a thing would happen when he was about to retire.
The Xue family headquarters has issued orders. They have many elite analysts who, after analyzing all the intelligence, have concluded that the people who killed Xue Yang were not very strong. Therefore, it is impossible for them to cross the wilderness to another base city. They will definitely return to this base city. A thorough search will be conducted throughout the base city, and they will surely be able to find their jade tokens.
Xue Qiang naturally agreed with the order above, but how could he effectively target this base city? He had already dispatched everyone, including some of the Xue family's allied forces. He didn't dare to directly say that he was looking for the jade tablet, so he sent out a photo. The photo showed various items, and the jade tablet was just one of them.
In fact, this has already exposed their intentions. If a large organization were to analyze it, they would likely be able to figure it out. However, the higher-ups have also said that this is the last chance. Even if there is a possibility of exposure, a large-scale search is necessary. As long as the jade pendant can be found, they are willing to take any responsibility.
Xue Qiang understood, of course, that if the jade pendant couldn't be found, the world would be in trouble.
As dawn broke, news kept arriving at the Xue family manor, but none of it was useful. Instead, it helped the garrison capture many criminals. Whenever they found someone suspicious at night, they would immediately investigate that person. Unexpectedly, instead of catching the person who killed Xue Yang, they filled the detention center at the patrol station.
The town government originally planned to talk to the Xue family today and ask them to quickly resolve this situation. However, after hearing about the results of the night's work, these people kept quiet. Moreover, the Xue family had also sent a substantial donation, so it would be rather awkward to visit them at this time.
So the investigation is still ongoing. Don't expect the Xue family to stop until they find something out.
Near Liu Ning's home, there were two checkpoints set up. After rushing home, Liu Ning changed into sportswear and came out to check the situation.
If they were arresting petty thieves, they would usually just set up checkpoints in civilian areas, not in this place. This area is inhabited by middle-class people. But now they are looking for a ferocious beast to assassinate Xue Yang, which must be at least a warrior-level creature. How many warriors can ordinary people have?
Therefore, according to their thinking, the ferocious beast that killed Xue Yang should live in such an upscale community, so the inspection here is actually stricter than there.
After learning about their plan, Liu Ning felt relieved. Wei Xiong and the others lived in the slums, and if the checks there were strict, someone might slip up. He was the only one here, and as long as he didn't get into trouble, the whole team would be safe.
"Have you all had enough? You checked me when I got home last night, and now you've checked me again. What are you trying to do? You have to give me a reasonable explanation. Don't think that just because I'm an ordinary citizen, I don't have the right to ask you questions. I'm a district councilor."
At the gate of Liu Ning's house, an elderly man in his fifties protested, saying that his house had been searched twice in two days. He said that he was probably used to being treated with too much respect, so he decided to protest today.
“You old man, you’re deliberately resisting our inspection. You’re very likely to be transferred. Take this old man away from me.”
Before Liu Ning and the others could react, two strong men came over, threw the 50-something district councilor into the car, and then the SUV drove away. Everyone was dumbfounded. The Xue family was really too lawless. They even dared to take away these district councilors.
“You all better behave yourselves. I don’t want to say anything more like this. If you think your identities will allow you to avoid being checked, you’re dreaming. Everyone who comes in and out will be checked, even if it’s twice a day.”
Looking at Liu Ning and his group, the Xue family's guards showed no remorse whatsoever. Instead, they uttered these words: "So what if I block your way out? So what if you're middle class? I may not live as well as you, but I represent the Xue family right now. Can you compare to the Xue family?"
The Xue family has been given an order: in order to find this thing, no matter how outrageous the consequences, it is acceptable. It is still the same saying that came from the central base city: better to kill 3,000 innocent people than to let one guilty person go free.
Liu Ning naturally underwent the examination, but when the photo flashed before his eyes, he seemed to remember something, but he couldn't be sure for a moment. After all, when he threw that thing away, he just tossed it over casually and didn't have much of a memory of it.
