Chapter 514 Great Evolution Light!
Besides completely shirking his own responsibility, Zhao Jidao revealed everything that Zuo Hongru had done.
High Yang listened with a furrowed brow, his face gloomy.
If Zhao Jidao wasn’t lying, then what Zuo Hongru had done was indeed extremely vile.
If this matter were to be exposed, the reputation of the Yanchen Martial Arts Association, and even the Xuanwu Group, would be tarnished!
“Which squad is Zuo Hongru a member of?” High Yang turned to look at his three subordinates and asked.
For ease of management, the Xuanwu Group was further divided into twenty squads, each with its own captain who managed all affairs of the members within the squad.
Each squad generally consisted of ten people.
For instance, High Yang was the captain of one of these squads, while also serving as the deputy leader of the entire Xuanwu Group.
Yang Shuo, Dong Hegu, and Jiang Hua were members of High Yang’s squad.
Faced with High Yang’s inquiry, the three thought for a moment.
After a few seconds, Dong Hegu answered, “Zuo Hongru… seems to be in Leader Wang’s squad…”
“Leader Wang?” High Yang’s brows furrowed tightly.
“Yes, otherwise Leader Wang wouldn’t have been angry enough to smash his desk to pieces,” Dong Hegu said.
High Yang pondered for a moment, then looked at Zhao Jidao again and said, “Chairman Zhao, are you certain that everything you’ve said contains no lies? No deliberate smearing of Zuo Hongru?”
Seeing High Yang’s extremely solemn expression, Zhao Jidao’s heart pounded.
He shouldn’t have spoken up!
Doing so seemed to have drawn him into an even deeper whirlpool!
But at this moment, he was already in too deep and had no choice.
“Sir High, I guarantee that everything I’ve said is factual, and there are people who can testify for me. Besides me, the owner of that bar and a blue-haired lady both witnessed Zuo Hongru killing that girl that night…” Zhao Jidao swallowed and said firmly.
High Yang nodded slightly and said in a deep voice, “I understand.”
At this point, High Yang suddenly stood up, took two steps forward, and walked up to Fang Yu.
Finally getting to the main point!?
Zhao Jidao and the three subordinates all looked at High Yang.
Leader Wang’s order was to arrest Fang Yu, with no other instructions.
Including what Zuo Hongru had done, Leader Wang didn’t care about that either.
The three subordinates stood up together, their bodies alert, eyes sharp, ready to act at any moment.
Zhao Jidao looked at Fang Yu with a mocking expression.
Regardless of what Zuo Hongru had done, he was a member of the Xuanwu Group, and Fang Yu would have to pay a huge price for killing him.
The best outcome would be imprisonment in the celestial prison, never to be released, disappearing from the world.
Fang Yu looked at High Yang standing in front of him, his expression unchanged.
High Yang looked down at Fang Yu, expressionless.
The atmosphere was extremely tense.
Standing behind them, Ye Shengxue’s heart was in her throat, her fists clenched.
She could see that the situation was very unfavorable for Fang Yu. She wanted to help him, but she knew that she didn’t even have the right to speak here.
“Master Huaixu sends his regards, Mr. Fang.”
At the most tense moment, High Yang spoke, slightly bowing and extending a hand.
Seeing this, the three subordinates who were ready to act all changed their expressions, looking at each other in confusion.
What was going on?
Before they could react, Fang Yu had already extended his hand and shook hands with High Yang.
“He already knows about this?” Fang Yu said with some surprise.
Given Huaixu’s position, such a small matter shouldn’t have reached his ears.
High Yang turned to look at his dumbfounded subordinates and said, “Wait outside, I need to talk with Mr. Fang.”
The three subordinates stared at High Yang, completely confused.
What did the captain mean?
How did his attitude toward Fang Yu change so dramatically, even bowing and shaking hands!
Even when facing Leader Wang, he didn’t need to go to such lengths!
“High, Sir High, what are you…” Jiang Hua asked in a daze.
“I’ll explain to you later, please go out first,” High Yang said.
Since it was the captain’s order, the three subordinates dared not disobey and turned to leave.
Zhao Jidao, who was beside them, also wore an expression of disbelief, frozen in place.
High Yang glanced at him, and he shuddered, immediately getting up to leave.
Fang Yu turned his head and gave Ye Shengxue a look.
Ye Shengxue nodded and walked back to the inner room.
Soon, only Fang Yu and High Yang remained in the living room.
High Yang stood in front of Fang Yu, his eyes now filled with respect.
He hadn’t known Fang Yu before, but when Fang Yu’s name had recently become famous, he had heard of him.
Before he left Yanchen, the elusive leader of the Four Groups, Official Huaixu, had met with him privately.
During this meeting, the respect that Huaixu, who was regarded as a god-like figure within the Yanchen Martial Arts Association, showed toward Fang Yu shocked High Yang deeply.
Therefore, facing Fang Yu now, High Yang naturally dared not be negligent.
He had asked so many questions earlier, firstly to truly understand what Zuo Hongru had done, and secondly to confirm whether the person before him was indeed the Fang Yu that Master Huaixu had mentioned.
The final conclusion was correct.
The young man before him was indeed Fang Yu, whom Master Huaixu deeply respected and even addressed as “sir”!
“What does Huaixu want you to tell me? No need to be so mysterious, right?” Fang Yu asked.
“He asked me to bring you an item,” High Yang said.
“Oh?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow and sat up straight.
High Yang’s storage ring glowed, and a palm-sized object wrapped in black cloth appeared in his hand.
Fang Yu took the object from High Yang’s hand and pulled off the black cloth.
Then, the object’s appearance was revealed.
It was a small lamp, round in shape, wrapped in an antique bronze material around the edges, with a hollow middle and an exposed wick.
The wick wasn’t lit, so the interior was dark.
“Master Huaixu said this item was borrowed from you, and he’s returning it now,” High Yang said.
Fang Yu played with the lamp, casually tossing it up and down, and smiled, “This kid must have something he wants me to help with, otherwise he wouldn’t be so proactive.”
Hearing Fang Yu directly refer to Master Huaixu as “this kid,” High Yang’s eyelid twitched.
Although he didn’t know the exact age, according to estimates, Master Huaixu was at least over 150 years old.
In the entire martial arts world of the Nine Provinces, those who could call Master Huaixu a “kid” were probably only those old monsters who had lived for around 200 or even 300 years.
However, since Master Huaixu addressed Fang Yu as “sir,” it seemed reasonable for Fang Yu to call him a “kid.”
“Master Huaixu said that Grand Mage Mo Xiu from the Order Organization has already spoken with him, and he’s very concerned about the situation in Xiangcheng,” High Yang said.
“So it was Mo Xiu who told him,” Fang Yu realized, then said with a half-smile, “If he’s so concerned, why doesn’t he come to Xiangcheng himself, clear out those berserk martial artists, and sweep away the Immortal Clan while he’s at it?”
“Uh… Master Huaixu has more important matters to attend to, so…” High Yang looked at Fang Yu and said, “Master Huaixu said that since you’re in Xiangcheng, you’ll definitely handle this matter properly.”
“I knew he would say that,” Fang Yu shook his head, looking at the lamp in his hand, and said, “However, the Dayan Lamp is indeed very useful to me.”
“So, Mr. Fang… will you assist us…” High Yang asked hesitantly.
“I won’t assist you, I’ll do things my own way,” Fang Yu said.
“I understand,” High Yang paused, then apologetically said, “I’m sorry for bringing so many people to Mr. Fang’s residence tonight. It’s mainly because we’re about to raid a gathering point of berserk martial artists…”
Before High Yang could finish, he received a qi transmission from his subordinate.
“Sir High, we just received information that a large group of berserk martial artists has appeared at…”
“Mr. Fang, I have to go. If you have any instructions later, feel free to contact me anytime,” High Yang said.
“Mm, go ahead with your business,” Fang Yu said.
High Yang nodded and left the house.
Soon, all the people from the Martial Arts Association withdrew from the apartment and left the community.
Fang Yu sat on the sofa, staring at the Dayan Lamp in his hand, his eyes slightly moving.
“Looks like I’ll be busy for a while tonight.”
