Chapter 579 The Surrender
When Luo Yang stormed into Wancao Gate that day, many people witnessed how Fang Changsheng and his companion took the Great Revival Pill from Yang Chuyu’s hands to save the dying Luo Yang.
This fact is supported by sufficient eyewitnesses and cannot be overturned.
Therefore, under normal circumstances, the blood writing about Fang Changsheng left by the murderer at the Luo family’s gate would not have any effect.
To establish murder charges, one must first understand the motive.
Why would Fang Changsheng first save Luo Yang with the Great Revival Pill, only to then exterminate the Luo family?
This presents a major contradiction that doesn’t make sense.
But what’s even stranger is that the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association used precisely this point as a clue to directly issue arrest warrants for Fang Changsheng and his companion!
When carefully considered, this series of events is full of contradictions and oddities.
Yet somehow, things continued to develop in this direction.
Who is the real murderer? What is their purpose?
As Yu Tianming pondered these questions, there was a knock at the study door.
“Come in,” Yu Tianming called out.
The door opened and the butler entered, saying, “Master, someone has broken into our Yu family residence and demands to meet with you.”
…
Fang Yu and Lin Batian stood in the busiest district of Eastern Capital.
Skyscrapers towered around them, traffic congested the roads, and pedestrians hurried along the streets.
Fang Yu and Lin Batian seemed completely out of place in this atmosphere.
“Why did you locate us to this kind of place?” Lin Batian asked.
“Where else should we have gone?” Fang Yu raised an eyebrow.
“Wancao Gate! Last time we met with Master Cangxi, Friend Yan, and your Yang Chuyu there… Shouldn’t we first find people who understand the situation to learn more?” Lin Batian said.
“No need,” Fang Yu smiled and said, “Since we’re already wanted fugitives, the easiest way to understand the situation is to go to the Martial Arts Association.”
“You mean…” Lin Batian was stunned.
Fang Yu turned and pointed to a grand-looking building behind them.
Above the entrance of the building were large characters.
Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association.
“We’re… just going to walk in?” Lin Batian asked with a strange expression.
He had thought Fang Yu would choose a more indirect approach, first gathering intelligence, then investigating gradually.
He never expected Fang Yu would bring him directly to the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association.
But Fang Yu had his own reasoning.
The person who massacred the Luo family had used just one line of obviously planted blood writing to make the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association issue an arrest warrant.
This indicated that the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association was very likely connected to the murderer who wiped out the Luo family.
Since that was the case, Fang Yu decided to deliver himself to their doorstep.
He believed he would soon meet the murderer and learn their purpose.
“Let’s go,” Fang Yu patted Lin Batian’s shoulder, and they walked together toward the Association’s building.
…
“Who are you two? What do you want?”
As Fang Yu and Lin Batian approached the entrance, two guards stopped them.
“He’s Fang Changsheng, and I’m Lin Unbeateable. We’re here to turn ourselves in,” Lin Batian said with a smile.
“Turn yourselves in?” The two guards frowned in confusion.
As the lowest-ranking members, they weren’t yet aware of the arrest warrant issued for Fang Changsheng.
Seeing how relaxed Fang Yu and Lin Batian appeared, not at all like people surrendering themselves, they instinctively felt these two were troublemakers!
“If you’re smart, you’ll leave now. This is the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association. Don’t think your words won’t have consequences!” one guard warned.
“He’s Fang Changsheng, here to surrender. Are you sure you want to send us away?” Lin Batian asked in surprise.
“I don’t care if you’re Long-life or Short-life. If you keep causing trouble here, we’ll really arrest you and keep you for a few days!” the guard continued warning.
Lin Batian and Fang Yu exchanged glances, realizing these guards knew nothing about the warrant or Fang Yu’s name.
Just then, a team of six people appeared in the first-floor lobby.
The team leader, Zheng Shaohong, frowned when he saw Fang Yu and Lin Batian standing at the entrance.
He and his subordinates had just finished a meeting where they reviewed the portraits of the man named Fang Changsheng and his companion.
Looking at them now, they seemed familiar.
“Captain Zheng, these two people… they look like…” a team member behind him said uncertainly.
After a few more glances, Zheng Shaohong was almost certain these were the wanted Fang Changsheng and his companion! His expression tightened as he made a gesture, leading his team quickly forward.
“Looks like someone recognized us,” Lin Batian said with a smile as he saw the group approaching.
“You two, step back immediately! These men are dangerous!” Zheng Shaohong shouted, startling the two guards who hurriedly retreated.
Zheng Shaohong led his subordinates to about five meters from Fang Yu and Lin Batian before stopping, his eyes vigilant as he asked, “Audacious criminal Fang Changsheng, do you know the entire Eastern Capital is hunting for you? What are you trying to do?!”
During the meeting, the group leader had specifically pointed out that this Fang Changsheng and his companion were extremely powerful and vicious. If encountered, they must be cautious and immediately request backup from the Association!
Zheng Shaohong never imagined that right after leaving the meeting room, he would run into these two!
These dangerous individuals coming directly to the Association headquarters showed their arrogance!
“Wanted targets spotted, requesting backup!” Zheng Shaohong shouted, channeling his true energy.
At the same time, his cultivation aura fully erupted.
Foundation Establishment Stage peak.
Zheng Shaohong’s shout alarmed people on both floors of the building, and many martial artists came running out.
Zheng Shaohong’s expression was extremely grave as he looked at Fang Yu and Lin Batian, preparing to take action.
“Don’t be nervous. Since we came here, we didn’t plan to fight,” Lin Batian said. “We’re here to turn ourselves in.”
“Turn yourselves in!?” Zheng Shaohong and his team members were stunned.
…
Yu family, study room.
Yu Tianming sat alone at his desk, while across from him sat a young man wearing purple robes.
This man’s appearance was extremely ordinary, so ordinary that after staring at his face for more than ten seconds, one would forget what he looked like.
“Although our Yu family isn’t the top family in Eastern Capital, we’re still among the top five. I’m afraid you don’t have the qualifications to force us to work for you,” Yu Tianming said with a gloomy expression.
The man smiled and said, “Not qualified? Master Yu, do you realize that if my master hadn’t used his pawns, you would still be detained in the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association and would soon be sent to prison?”
His voice was extremely androgynous, making it difficult to determine gender, and his tone fluctuated between soft and harsh, making it particularly unpleasant to hear.
Yu Tianming snorted coldly and said, “Even without your intervention, I would have found a way to clear my name with the Eastern Association.”
“And another thing, I don’t like your methods.”
“Massacring the Luo family, then using public opinion to try to force our Yu family to submit? I’m sorry, but I don’t accept such methods, nor am I afraid of public opinion!”
“Master Yu, do you really think this is just about public opinion?” The man’s smile didn’t diminish as he said, “We’ve prepared two contingency plans. If you refuse to serve my master, you will soon be wanted by the Eastern Capital Martial Arts Association.”
“The reason we’re currently hunting Fang Changsheng is just to do you a favor. After all, you must hate Fang Changsheng for humiliating your entire family.”
“Master Yu, please appreciate my master’s goodwill.”
Yu Tianming looked at the man, his expression growing increasingly unpleasant.
After hearing these words, he finally understood why this incident seemed strange at every turn!
The other party’s purpose was very clear—to bring the Yu family under their control!
The Luo family massacre and Fang Changsheng’s wanted status were just means to this end, not the main point at all!
“I want to know, who is your master? Why is he doing this?” Yu Tianming asked gravely.
Hearing this question, the man smiled and said, “You only need to know that he holds an extremely high position and is omnipotent. That’s enough. You don’t need to know other information, and you’re not qualified to know yet.”
These words made Yu Tianming feel humiliated. He asked, “If your master is so omnipotent, why does he need to recruit our mere Yu family?”
