Chapter 1074: Chapter 25: Things Are Gradually Taking Shape
Although Mu Yuming was also on the list, Wang Yunxiao did not imdiately call his soon-to-be father-in-law.
Firstly, the distance was quite far; Mu Yuming had started his business from the Nantong District for special reasons.
These special reasons included helping Principal Zhou build a school.
Most other white gloves settled and started businesses in the Seaside District, which was more convenient for travel.
Secondly, Wang Yunxiao was not worried about problems arising with his father-in-law’s family.
Especially since he already knew that the four sisters of the Literature Society were all working part-ti there.
Plus Li Mumu’s circle of friends…
That place might not be a dragon’s den or a tiger’s lair, but it wasn’t far off.
Not sothing an ordinary person could handle.
The third person on the list unexpectedly lively, which surprised Wang Yunxiao a bit.
But this was good news.
The dead have their worth, and the living have their reasons.
This survivor nad Chen Deng, sold furniture.
At first glance, it seed he didn’t fit the list, but he sold Western furniture, including household appliances.
For instance, the radio that had recently beco popular.
He also owned two departnt stores.
In these tis, those who could afford such goods were either wealthy or noble.
Earning money was secondary; through this, he t many high-ranking officials, or more precisely, their wives.
When Wang Yunxiao arrived in grandeur in a military vehicle, Chen Deng had already changed into his pajamas and was ready to sleep.
Such a fuss left him quite scared, his face pale, unsure of what to do.
“Officer, I’m an honest businessman…”
“No one said you’re dishonest, call everyone in your family together.”
Wang Yunxiao took out a photo: “Do you know this person? Have they co to see you?”
“I don’t know…”
“Professor Yu?”
“Has been here.”
As expected.
Yang Jian had been there, but Chen Deng’s family had no mory of him, which matched the Navy Special Team’s experiences.
The notebook in the other party’s hand likely possesses mory-altering abilities.
So the question becos simple—why did Chen Deng survive?
Wang Yunxiao’s gaze swept across his family mbers.
It couldn’t be because his youngest daughter was cute and pretty, right?
“Boss Chen, I’m going to ask you so questions now, and I hope you’ll answer truthfully.”
Everyone has privacy, and no one wants to answer questions honestly.
But after Wang Yunxiao’s persuasive efforts, Boss Chen finally honestly disclosed the problem.
This man’s biggest difference from the previous three victims was that he hadn’t made much money.
Not that he didn’t make any, but compared to the previous three’s frantic money-making businesses, his was more of a steady flow.
Boss Chen was rather honest and hadn’t thought of embezzling from the Chamber’s funds, instead investing effort proportionately with funds given. Whatever the Chamber said, he did, using its investnts in the right places.
anwhile, Yu Tongxuan found the second Thousand Paper Crane in Boss Chen’s youngest daughter Chen Tingting’s room.
Upon opening it, there were also two sentences left on it:
“Those with the heart to do good, though unrewarded, those without the heart to do evil, though unpunished.”
The aning of this sentence varies greatly in different contexts of ancient and modern tis.
In the traditional view of ancient people, even if a local tyrant eats vegetarian and chants Buddha every day, they can’t offset their cris.
A snake spirit that’s been cultivating for years might not have done any bad deeds but could still be casually killed by a passing hunter, and even in Yama Hall, it would be unjust because it’s their destiny, unbeknownst to others.
But in modern thought, it’s entirely different.
Are donations and philanthropy obligatory for others? Should performing good deeds and spreading positivity be criticized as re show?
A company boss often exploits employees’ surplus value, calling late at night on weekends to demand a PPT be made, saying, “Take it or leave it,” you’d want to kill them?
What does it an to leave this sentence specifically in the daughter’s room?
To Wang Yunxiao, this was self-deception.
Yang Jian seed to want to convey a ssage to those pursuing him—everyone he killed deserved it.
Or, “I’m just like your marshal, from the sa root, why rush to hurt each other?”
Utter nonsense.
So people like to confuse concepts.
Are you responsible for saving sharks just because so people eat shark fin daily, while you don’t even know what shark fin looks like?
The Yang Family’s ancestors committed sins, so did the ancestors of others?
At 10:20 pm, Wang Yunxiao returned to the Supervision Bureau and t with the hastily arriving Yan Yu’an, obtaining a passenger list from him.
It was a list of passengers arriving in Tiann on the sa cruise as Yang Jian.
“You guessed it right, he didn’t co alone this ti; accompanying him is a team.”
Simple borrowing to kill others doesn’t solve any actual problems besides one’s own satisfaction.
The Earth won’t stop rotating due to anyone’s absence.
Those white gloves suspected to be victims, each of them held significant wealth and connections.
In business terms, if you deal with them solely due to suspicions of disloyalty, there’s no reason to discard the resources they hold along with it.
So Wang Yunxiao guessed that the Chamber would definitely deploy more personnel to digest the legacy left by the deceased.
This unsubstantiated guess was confird by the passenger list Yan Yu’an brought.
Along with Yan Yu’an ca a hidden team of up to thirty people.
So were labeled as his bodyguards, whom Wang Yunxiao had already t.
Having t them, Wang Yunxiao didn’t think he needed these bodyguards.
These people certainly had other purposes.
From several hundred passengers on the ship, filtering out suspects isn’t difficult; it depends entirely on your intention.
Male, unmarried youth, with few belongings, an employee of a certain company.
When such people appear in bulk, even customs cannot ignore them.
“Have you checked these people’s backgrounds?”
“Checked, they should be Incense Hall disciples.”
“Incense Hall?”
A new term that Wang Yunxiao had never heard before suddenly appeared.
“What’s the relationship between Incense Hall and the Four Seas Comrce Guild?”
Yan Yu’an smiled and said, “It seems you’re entirely unfamiliar with the Four Seas Comrce Guild, and assigning you to this task seems a bit difficult for you.”
Wang Yunxiao thought to himself, what could he do about it?
“How about you take over?”
“It’s supposed to be our customs job; the Navy’s involvent is overstepping.”
Yan Yu’an shrugged and said, “This matter isn’t as complicated as you think. You should’ve co to at the start instead of trailing that Yang Jian.”
