Chapter 632: Chapter 438: No Empty Theft
"Alright, no more jokes, let’s talk business. Where are you now?"
Upon hearing Ye Liuyun’s suddenly serious tone on the other end of the phone, Dong Tianyu’s expression turned solemn, and he replied with a question, "What happened, why are you asking so abruptly?"
At that moment, Ye Liuyun on the other end of the phone, with a bitter face and a very somber tone, said, "Zachary, I screwed up again."
Although Ye Liuyun’s remark was abrupt, Dong Tianyu had an approximate guess in his heart, so he probed, "Is it another female scammer?"
"Yes, that’s right, the plane explosion was their doing, they did it to retaliate against me. They initially planned to cover up their assassination operation with a plane crash, but they didn’t expect you to notice in advance.
And in an attempt not to let me leave Pengcheng, they even went as far as detonating the plane, then they actively sent information to the officials, just to keep me in Pengcheng.
Their plan succeeded, and I was forced to stay in Pengcheng, but what they didn’t anticipate was that even after the Taylor family had moved to Saxon County Camp, the Taylor family could still have a say in what happens in Pengcheng.
Moreover, after learning that I was in trouble, my brother rushed from Saxon County directly to Pengcheng, so their subsequent series of plans not only mostly failed but also exposed their entire team to the upper echelons of Pengcheng society.
You have to understand that although the upper ranks in Pengcheng now seem to act independently, no one wants to deal with terrorists who blow up planes in case of trouble, so with the full cooperation of all the departments in Pengcheng, the members of their team were caught one by one.
However, even though so many people were caught, the majority turned out to be the bottom-level underlings. Many of them couldn’t even say who they were working for, let alone know how many people were actually above them."
Hearing Ye Liuyun put it that way, Dong Tianyu became serious. After all, having the capability to manage such an organizational structure and personnel, let alone the fact that they were going through different natural disasters, if this were before the disasters, such talent would quickly rise to prominence no matter where they were.
"That’s enough. Stop touting how strong the opponent is. Seeing that you have now been released from confinement and come to Kyoto, doesn’t this prove that in the end, you were the final victor?
Forget about the process; the one who laughs last is the ultimate winner."
Although Ye Liuyun heard Dong Tianyu say this, the bitterness in his voice remained, "Ah, I’m actually quite troubled by this. Logically, since I can leave, this should mean the issue has been resolved.
But it wasn’t until right before I boarded the plane that my brother told me the final outcome.
After I was captured, they did plan several decapitation operations, but they were intercepted by the prepared government officials every time. As the situation fermented during these rescue attempts,
those people, desperate to kill me, began to resort to any means necessary. It was clearly stipulated that cultivators should not arbitrarily attack ordinary people, or they would face severe punishment.
But at that time, those people had gone mad. They not only destroyed crops in the fields but also began to lay hands on ordinary people.
The government officials had initially not intended to deal with the situation, but as the other side caused more trouble and even began to contact cults, the officials, upon confirming that I was preparing to take a flight to Kyoto, couldn’t wait to send me away as if I were a plague.
Their actions might seem inconsequential on the surface, but in essence, they wished to divert those people’s attention by using me.
These sanctimonious hypocrites speak of not abandoning anyone yet when problems arise, they immediately pass the buck to someone else.
Now you know why I came to Kyoto. After hearing all this, do you still dare to be my friend?"
Although the two were separated by thousands of miles, just from the voice, Dong Tianyu could tell that Ye Liuyun was not in a good state of mind. He soothed Ye Liuyun while offering psychological counseling.
After talking for over two hours, Ye Liuyun’s mood finally improved. Facing such a situation, Dong Tianyu wasn’t sure of the best way to handle it; perhaps, as the old saying goes, time could indeed erase all traces.
After hanging up the phone with Ye Liuyun, Dong Tianyu finally breathed a sigh of relief. After all, comforting others was something he had never done before, and maintaining composure in the face of someone else’s breakdown was truly difficult. It was only through personal experience that Dong Tianyu understood the significance of a psychologist.
When Dong Tianyu had somewhat calmed down, he noticed that Gina and her brother had already dressed neatly, looking like they were about to take advantage of the cover of darkness to sell the prey they had caught.
But Dong Tianyu never expected that, following the two through the air with Sword Control into Kyoto, they entered the mission center in Dong Tianyu’s surprised gaze and went straight to submit their task.
Dong Tianyu was curious. The siblings set off together to Kyoto, and then accompanied him to the mission center, acting as if nothing had happened.
First, they received the financial compensation given for the deceased, then submitted their initially accepted mission target, and then, swinging their earnings, they headed to the recreation and beverage area to recruit new team members.
However, even then, they had no intention of trying to contact a middleman to sell the people they had captured.
