Chapter 50: Speculation on who is behind the scenes
Lu Fang immediately realized that he had lost his temper and quickly looked at the others in the living room. Fortunately, his voice was not too loud and did not attract the attention of others.
He took Cheng Fengzhuo to the corner under the revolving escalator and walked a few steps, and asked in a low voice, "Nine years ago, did it have anything to do with my father?" ”
"I don't know." Cheng Fengzhuo said uncertainly, "My senior only said that the difference from this time is that the order issued by the central government nine years ago was to recruit the elite of the Yuan of various systems nationwide to form a team, and the level of secrecy is the highest top secret. My senior only knew that Jiuzhou City had only recruited two people at that time, and the location of the mission was most likely outside the Tianhua Kingdom. ”
"Two people ......," Lu Fang muttered. If the conscription order nine years ago really had something to do with his father Lu Xia, then the other of the two people recruited by Jiuzhou City must be Huang Dawei's younger brother who helped him register his identity in the Yuan Association on Monday, and Huang Cheng, the Yuan of the Golden Mutation Diamond attribute.
The two recruits, one is Lu Fang's father Lu Xia, who is said to be better than Liu Tianyu, the current president of the Jiuzhou City Yuan Association, and the other is Huang Cheng, a diamond attribute Yuan who has a sharper attack power than the gold attribute. As for the other Yuan elites recruited from all over the country, it is conceivable that their strength must be very close to the previous two. The strength of such a team of strong men is enough to cross the entire heaven and land. It takes such a team to complete, and the fact that this team has not been able to return triumphantly after nine years is enough to prove that this task is very arduous and difficult, and there is even a danger of losing their lives at any time. After all, it may involve the remnants of the Evil Moon Clan who intended to rule the entire Heavenly Land more than 4,000 years ago, and the danger here is self-evident.
Thinking of this, a thought flashed through Lu Fang's mind, and his back couldn't help but sweat coldly.
Could it be that the mastermind behind the recent successive killings of the Yuan is the Evil Moon Clan?
But just as he was about to start thinking, he was interrupted by Zhou Fenghuang's call.
"Son, Xiao Zhuo. What whispers do you whisper in the horns? It's time to eat! If you have anything to say, you can talk after eating. ”
"Ah, that's ......"
"Aunt Zhou, we're here."
Lu Fang had no choice but to put away the thoughts that had just popped up and walked towards the restaurant with Cheng Fengzhuo. He planned to wait for dinner, after Cheng Jun and Jiang Han left, and then discuss his thoughts privately with Uncle Xiao and others.
Twelve people sat down in turn around the large round table. Zhou Fenghuang sat in the main seat, on the left hand side were Cheng Yuelong, Cheng Yuehu brothers and Cheng Fengzhuo, on the right hand side were three mothers, and the five positions opposite were reserved for five young boys and girls.
After the waiter invited from "Dragon and Phoenix Chengxiang" filled the cups in front of everyone, Zhou Fenghuang, who was sitting in the main seat, raised the red wine glass in his hand, cleared his throat, and said: "Thank you relatives and friends for being able to attend this family banquet in your busy schedule. There are also two best friends of my son Xiaofang, don't be restrained, just like in your own home. This family banquet was held to congratulate my son on finally fulfilling his long-cherished wish for 15 years and becoming a Yuan Being, which should also create a miracle for the whole day.
"Since Xiaofang's father left home nine years ago, I have been so busy with work that I have little time to take care of him. Thanks to the selfless care of his family and friends, he has been given family-like care, so that he can go all the way on the right path without worry. Moreover, there are two slim, gentle and generous girls who are willing to accompany him for the rest of their lives in the future, and they will be happy with each other and raise their eyebrows, which is his luck and my Zhou Phoenix's luck. This family dinner can be regarded as a small thank you that I would like to express to you. Thank you!
"In addition, Second Brother Cheng's son Xiao Zhuo is going to go on a mission tomorrow and leave home, and the return date is unknown. Xiao Zhuo, as one of the five major Yuan families in Jiuzhou City, is the leader of the younger generation of the Qinglan Cheng family, and he is also the leader of the younger generation of the Yuan in Jiuzhou City, and he is also a model for Xiaofang to work hard for. Today's family banquet is also for him, I wish him all the best and return soon! Cheers! ”
Twelve glasses were held high above the table, carrying the blessings of the two young men and their hopes for their future.
The dinner ended smoothly in the staggered and laughter.
After the meal, Lu Fang and his two girlfriends sent Cheng Jun and Jiang Han out of the Platinum Coast community, and then returned home. Cheng Yunmeng and Feng Yue were immediately pulled by four middle-aged women to the sofa in the living room to start a tea party, and black tea, nuts and fruits were already placed on the coffee table. Lu Fang followed the Cheng brothers and Cheng Fengzhuo to Zhou Fenghuang's study.
The atmosphere in the study was a little serious, and Lu Fang sat upright, not daring to speak first.
Cheng Yuelong glanced at the other three, put on a relaxed smile, and said: "Everyone doesn't have to be so serious, everyone in this room is their own family, let's just be a little bit more relaxed." ”
With him, the eldest parent, spoke, and the two juniors, Lu Fang and Cheng Fengzhuo, moved their stiff shoulders slightly, and let their backs lean against the back of the chair.
"Xiaofang." was called by name, Lu Fang sat up straight again and looked at Cheng Yuelong.
"Don't be so nervous, it's not a meeting." Cheng Yuelong couldn't help but be happy, waved his hand at him, and said, "Xiao Zhuo just told you briefly about his mission before dinner, right?" ”
"Hmm." Lu Fang nodded, "It's to track down that gang of murderers, right?" ”
"Yes. But it's not quite, you have to dig out the group of black hands hidden behind the scenes. Cheng Yuelong took a sip of the green tea on the table in front of him and continued, "Let me first talk about the results of our police investigation in the past week. Your Uncle Tiger and Xiao Zhuo have already heard about it, but I still want you to know. ”
Lu Fang couldn't help but sit up straight again.
"Since last Sunday's five family meetings, our police and the military have carried out control in all airports, ports, docks, stations, roads, rivers, and coastlines out of the city, set up card checks on important roads and transportation hubs in the city, and conducted carpet searches on hotels, guesthouses, Internet cafes, large supermarkets, old communities, factories and other places that are easy to hide, but no trace of the murderers has been found until today. So what is certain is that they quickly fled out of the city after they were discovered by Liu Fengyu and other officers of the Yuanzhi SWAT team last Saturday afternoon and an accomplice was captured. Their escape route avoided all the surveillance probes, but fortunately, there were very good Yuan Force Fluctuation Trackers in the SWAT team, and they were sure that the group was heading southwest. Therefore, this afternoon, the central authorities issued an urgent order as soon as they learned the news, and dispatched the elite of the Yuan people from the Jiuzhou City Yuan Association, the police station, the army, and the National Security Bureau to form a special task team, complete the assembly at 10 o'clock tonight, and immediately set off to track down the murderers until they find out who is behind the scenes and rescue all the innocent people who have been brainwashed. ”
"Ten o'clock tonight? Isn't it tomorrow morning? Lu Fang wondered.
Cheng Fengzhuo explained: "The situation is urgent, and if you don't set off as soon as possible, it is very likely that you will lose the trace of that group. After all, the fluctuations of the Yuan Force will gradually dissipate over time, and once the fluctuations of the Yuan Force fade to the point that they cannot be traced, even the best trackers will be powerless. The territory of Tianhua Kingdom is so large, if there is no trace, trying to find them again is tantamount to looking for a needle in a haystack. It's just that I don't want others to notice the anomaly, so I lied that I would leave tomorrow to carry out the mission. ”
"Straight to the point." Cheng Yuelong said, "On the other hand, our police have investigated the missing persons across the country in the past 20 years, compared their ancestral information with the information in the Yuan Scholar database, and found that there are more than 800 people among them who are owners of the declining bloodline, which does not include cases like Feng Yue's father who have not been reported as missing persons." There is no pattern to the time and place of these people's disappearances, but there are many cases where several people in the same city have disappeared in a short period of time, such as eleven years ago, seven people in Jiuzhou City disappeared in just three weeks. It can be seen that this organization hidden behind the scenes has many minions scattered outside and constantly searching for declining bloodlines, and the woman of the Purple Spirit Clan eleven years ago is one of them.
"We have also discovered that the disappearances of the owners of the Fallen Bloodline have continued for the past two decades. In other words, in the past few years, there will definitely be incidents of the disappearance of the declining bloodline, but it is estimated that it will take a little time to trace when the first one occurred. And the most recent one was half a month ago. We have also reported these situations to the central government and the National Yuan Association, hoping that through their orders, all parts of the country will pay attention to the situation of the disappearance of the declining bloodline, and investigate the suspicious Yuan people. The Central Committee and the National Association of Yuan Scholars knew the seriousness of the situation, so at the first time, they issued an order for us to form an elite team in Jiuzhou City to track down the murderer, and on the other hand, they also ordered a nationwide secret search for the traces of the culprits who caused the disappearance and the base of the organization behind the scenes. However, I think the other party should have realized that we knew about the fact that they were searching for the declining bloodline, and it is estimated that they will disappear for a long time after that, and they will avoid the limelight for the time being. ”
"Uncle, do you have a clue about the true identity of the mastermind behind the scenes?"
Cheng Yuehu replied for his brother: "In the past week, the important members of our five major families have gathered almost every day to brainstorm and deduce several results from the intentions and identities of the behind-the-scenes organization. ”
Cheng Yuelong interrupted him to continue, staring at Lu Fang's face and asking, "Xiaofang, do you have your own guess?" Let's hear from you first. ”
Seeing Cheng Yuelong and Cheng Yuehu's encouraging gazes, Lu Fang calmed down his somewhat disordered breathing and said, "I boldly imagined that the people behind the murder of ten Yuan and thirteen ordinary people in the past so many years who have been searching for the declining bloodline and helping them awaken to become the Yuan Ones, and then brainwashing them and controlling them to kill ten Yuan and thirteen ordinary people one after another in more than two months, could it be the Evil Moon Clan, which has disappeared from the sky and land for more than 4,000 years?" ”
Hearing the words "Evil Moon Clan", it was like opening a terrifying memory box, and the expressions of the other three people present changed drastically.
