Chapter Summary
If Zhao Wudi hadn't searched, they wouldn't have blamed Liu Ning and his group. Zhao Wudi was actually targeting him from this angle, suspecting that if someone else had investigated, they probably wouldn't know Liu Ning and wouldn't have been able to do anything to him even if they reached such a conclusion. Although you were in the wild now and they couldn't do anything to you, there would come a day when you had to go back, and then you would know how powerful the Human Council was.
Liu Ning and his group continued their activities, and Zhao Wudi ignored the matter. He began his mental search, and almost everyone remained motionless, waiting for him to finish. If Zhao Wudi hadn't searched, they wouldn't have blamed Liu Ning and his group. However, after completing his search, Zhao Wudi was 100% certain that Liu Ning and his group were responsible, or at least directly involved. He had searched the entire area and found nothing, indicating the other party was extremely cautious. Zhao Wudi had compared the surrounding teams, and no one was as meticulous as him, nor did anyone possess the ability to erase all traces. It was likely Liu Ning who had done it.
If Liu Ning knew what Zhao Wudi was thinking, he would be so angry he'd want to cry foul. He was usually very careful, but he never expected that this would turn out to be a mistake. Zhao Wudi was actually targeting him from this angle, suspecting that if someone else had investigated, they probably wouldn't know Liu Ning and wouldn't have been able to do anything to him even if they reached such a conclusion. But Zhao Wudi was the one investigating, and even if he found out, he wouldn't say anything else. In fact, he would steer the matter in a different direction. This is the benefit of doing things right in advance. Zhao Wudi and Liu Ning were in the same boat; how could he possibly push Liu Ning out?
"Lord Zhao, you must have finished scanning, right? I wonder if you've made any discoveries. It's not that I'm in a hurry, but this matter has been a huge blow to our Shangguan family. We've also hired a series of investigators, but they're all different from the ones you brought. I wonder if you could say a few words to me so that I can have an explanation to give to my family when I get back."
Shangguan Qingyun said cautiously, "The powerful figures in this market are all here. Neither Lin Lei nor Zhao Wudi are people this old guy can afford to offend. Normally, when I walk down the street, the common people treat me with utmost respect. In their eyes, I'm like their god. But when I encounter someone like Zhao Wudi or Lin Lei, I have to be very careful. These two are practically like my god, so I have to be polite when I speak to them. Zhao Wudi's temper is even more unpredictable. If I make Zhao Wudi uncomfortable, we'll be in even more trouble. This guy does things without any reason."
Moreover, Shangguan Qingyun had another idea: he genuinely hoped Zhao Wudi would uncover something. Zhao Wudi was a renowned expert and the disciple of the Second Speaker. Among mentalists, Zhao Wudi was also among the top, unlike his nephew. Although they were in the same profession, if they were to fight here, Zhao Wudi could easily take down ten Shangguan Baos. This was not an exaggeration; there was evidence to support it. Zhao Wudi could simultaneously kill six War God-level experts, while Shangguan Bao would be lucky to kill even one. This demonstrated that Zhao Wudi possessed six times the combat power of Shangguan Bao, and therefore deserved respect. Furthermore, his mental scanning was extremely powerful; what if they hadn't found anything?
After hearing Shangguan Qingyun's words, Zhao Wudi shook his head helplessly. Shangguan Qingyun's heart sank to the bottom. It seemed that even if Zhao Wudi was mobilized, there would be no news in the end. At the same time, the investigation team behind him breathed a sigh of relief. If Zhao Wudi found something, but they found nothing, then they would be in for a world of hurt when they got back. They had been paid so much money to support them all year, but when they needed them, they could do nothing. They were really something to behold. The Shangguan family would definitely give them a good dressing down. In fact, these investigators were also very unfortunate. Don't be fooled by how useful they were usually. If they couldn't find anything, they might become the scapegoat of the entire family. The Xue family was like that back then, and now the Shangguan family was like that too.
"Investigate all the surrounding teams, regardless of their identities or backgrounds. Take the Human Council documents to them and make sure they accept our investigation. They must also know that if anyone dares to refuse to cooperate, I will personally talk to them. This matter is not as they claim; they must undergo my questioning. I have a feeling that these people might have some problems. You need to get to the bottom of this immediately. You must have a result within three days. I'm only stationed here for three days; I don't have that much time to stay here. If you're not quick enough, then you will be held responsible for this matter. The Human Council will not forgive anyone."
Zhao Wudi found a place to sit down, and even adopted a meditative posture. This made it very clear that Zhao Wudi would maintain this posture for the next three days, specifically waiting for their investigation. If they couldn't get results within three days, Zhao Wudi would have a valid reason. The people around him were quite impressed. They knew that this was the outskirts of Devil County, and if they were not careful, they could easily lose their lives. But who was he? He was a mentalist, a top-tier expert of the younger generation, and the disciple of the Second Speaker. Even if those ferocious beasts were war god-level beasts, Zhao Wudi had nothing to fear. He might even be able to kill them in a few moves and make a small fortune.
Shangguan Qingyun responded from the side and immediately arranged for people to go and do things. In addition to the people from their Shangguan family, Zhao Wudi also brought many experts from the Human Council.
There were about 15 warrior-level experts among them. With their addition, Shangguan Qingyun felt that his work would be much easier. Most importantly, no one dared to resist. They had official documents from the Human Council. If they summoned you for an investigation and you refused, it would be considered going against the Human Council. No matter what your usual status was, if you dared to go against the Human Council, it meant that you didn't want to live a life of luxury. The Human Council had many ways to punish you. Although you were in the wild now and they couldn't do anything to you, there would come a day when you had to go back, and then you would know how powerful the Human Council was.
