"Quick, burn this body before it's too late!"
Under the thick night sky, a group of people were busy at a crematorium in Central Plains. They were carrying a stretcher, on which lay the deceased Elder Master Su, Su Dongguo.
At noon today, the Su Family contacted them, hoping to have Elder Master Su's body cremated quickly. However, they adhere to a first-co-first-served policy, and due to a surge in recent deaths, they were short on fuel and other necessary supplies which delayed the cremation of Su Dongguo's body until now.
"Stop! Cease imdiately!"
Just as the crematorium staff were about to cremate Elder Master Su's body, a loud shout suddenly erupted.
Looking around, they saw a host of soldiers charging from all directions. The troops were well-equipped, all ard with weapons, creating a terrifying scene.
"Soldiers? Where did all these soldiers co from?"
Seeing this, the staff of the crematorium were all stunned.
The man leading them was Lin Wu's personal deputy. The deputy stepped forward and barked, "Who's in charge here? Speak up!"
"I...I am the person in charge of the crematorium!"
At that mont, a portly middle-aged man stepped forward, his face full of fear as he looked at the deputy.
"Oh? You're the person in charge?" the deputy asked, surprised.
Shivering, the middle-aged man said, "Yes, I am Bai Mang, the person in charge of this crematorium. May I ask if we have offended the military in any way?"
"It's not a matter of offense, but tell , has Elder Master Su, Su Dongguo, been cremated yet?" the deputy asked sternly.
Upon hearing this, the middle-aged man quickly pointed to the body that was about to be cremated and said, "Sir, this is Elder Master Su's body. We've not yet had the chance to cremate it before you all ca charging in!"
"Not yet cremated? Phew!" Relieved by this response, the deputy let out a sigh.
Having just received Lin Wu's orders, he had personally led his n to the crematorium and luckily arrived in ti. Otherwise, Elder Master Su's body would have been turned to ashes.
The next second, the deputy fixed his gaze on the crematorium manager, Bai Mang, and said, "The death of Elder Master Su is suspicious, and we need to perform an autopsy. We're taking the body with us!"
"No problem, sir, no problem at all!" Bai Mang hastily agreed.
As long as it wasn't the crematorium at fault, letting them take Elder Master Su's body—or even all the bodies present—for autopsy wasn't an issue for him.
The deputy specifically warned, "Right, don't tell the Su Family about this for now. You understand what I an, right?"
"Understood, sir. I understand. It's a secret mission!" Bai Mang said with an obsequious smile.
The deputy nodded, "Good! It has to be a secret operation. You know the consequences if this gets out, right?"
"Understood, Brother Jun. Rest assured, I won't leak anything!" Bai Mang replied respectfully.
The deputy could tell Bai Mang was clever and said no more.
Having intercepted Elder Master Su's body in ti, the deputy imdiately contacted Lin Wu, "Commander Lin, luckily we arrived just in ti. Elder Master Su's body has not been cremated yet. Should we now take Elder Master Su's body to the autopsy departnt?"
"No need!"
Lin Wu spoke softly, "After all, the Su Family is a Quasi-First-Tier Clan. I'm afraid Elder Master Su's body going to the autopsy departnt might leak so information. Instead, take Elder Master Su's body to the number one divine doctor in Central Plains, Tang Renjie. He will know what to do once he sees it."
Lin Wu knew that Tang Renjie had been wanting to take Ye Fan as his master. Now that Ye Fan had been arrested and imprisoned, Tang Renjie would surely conduct the autopsy himself once he was inford.
"Yes, Commander Lin. I'll take Elder Master Su's body to Divine Doctor Tang right away!" the deputy replied respectfully.
Lin Wu nodded and replied, "Go on then!"
...
Unbeknownst to the Su Family, Elder Master Su's body had already been intercepted.
Inside the Su Family's territory, three of the Su family mbers and Huang Zicheng were laughing jovially.
Excited, Huang Zicheng said, "You have no idea, my uncle Chen Longpeng is already on his way to Central Plains. His purpose for coming here is to kill Ye Fan. I never imagined that before my uncle could arrive, the Su Family would make a move on Ye Fan first!"
"That's even better. If Ye Fan dies in the North Suburb Prison, then my uncle won't have to take action himself! If Ye Fan doesn't die, then I'll have my uncle go to the North Suburb Prison and personally kill Ye Fan! And I'm not afraid to tell you all, my uncle is a genuine Martial King!"
"What? A Martial King?" Hearing this, Su Tianhao was greatly shocked.
Su Yue, puzzled, asked, "Big brother, what is a Martial King?"
"Yue'er, you should know what Ancient Martial Artists are, right? In the eyes of ordinary people, becoming a Martial Arts Grandmaster is already incredibly impressive, but little do they know, there are existences even more formidable than Martial Arts Grandmasters. Above them are the Martial Kings!" Su Tianhao explained.
Upon hearing this, Su Yue was overjoyed, "Aweso, aweso! If Ye Fan doesn't die tonight, with a Martial King taking action, he can hardly escape death!"
"Exactly!" Old Madam Su nodded.
She had initially thought that only a few of them wanted to kill Ye Fan, but to her surprise, the prestigious Cao Family and Huang Zicheng had both expressed their stance.
Especially since Huang Zicheng didn't hesitate to enlist a Martial King to kill Ye Fan, making Old Madam Su feel that the matter of killing Ye Fan was now securely within grasp.
Once it was confird that Ye Fan was locked up in the North Suburb Prison, Huang Zicheng's face was filled with smiles as he said, "Alright then, it's getting late, so I'll be taking my leave! If Ye Fan tries to escape or anything, keep promptly inford! My uncle will soon arrive in the Central Plains, and by then, Ye Fan's death is certain!"
"Certainly!" Old Madam Su respectfully responded.
After Huang Zicheng left, the three won from the Su Family looked at each other and saw satisfaction in each other's eyes.
Su Tianhao chuckled, "Grandmother, is it ti to call a Su Family eting now?"
"Mhm, it's ti to call a eting of the Su Family! Yue'er, go make the arrangents!" Old Madam Su smiled profoundly with her deep-set eyes.
"Yes, Grandmother!"
Receiving Old Madam Su's instructions, Su Yue imdiately opened the main Su Family group chat and sent out the announcent.
"What? A Su Family eting is being called now?"
"It's so late, but if Old Lady Su is calling a Su Family eting, there must be important matters to discuss. Let's go, everyone!"
Upon seeing the group notification, nurous mbers of the Su Family Direct Lineage whispered among themselves and promptly got up to head towards the Su Corporation. Explore more adventures at My Virtual Library Empire
"A Su Family eting in the dead of night?"
When Su Ruoxue saw the group notification, a foreboding feeling rose in her heart.
The next mont, Su Ruoxue spoke in a grave voice, "No, I must go and see. If Grandmother and the others continue to target Ye Fan, it will be troubleso!"
Whoosh—
Seconds later, disregarding her appearance, Su Ruoxue hastily threw on so clothes and sped to the Su Corporation in her car.
Within less than half an hour, the eting room of the Su Corporation was already filled with people.
Old Madam Su sat in the main seat with her eyes closed, feigning exhaustion, "Yue'er, has everyone arrived?"
"Grandmother, all those who should co have arrived!" Su Yue spoke softly.
Old Madam Su then slowly opened her eyes and said, "I apologize for the inconvenience of calling all the Su Family mbers here so late. I have convened this eting because there is a matter of great importance to announce!"
"Old Madam, what is the matter? Just speak frankly!" a Su Family Elder spoke up.
"Yes, Old Madam, the night is deep already, please speak!"
The nurous mbers of the Su Family Direct Lineage nodded in agreent, eager for Old Madam Su to quickly announce the matter so they could return ho to rest.
Old Madam Su gave a slight nod and first turned to Su Ruoxue, "Ruoxue, due to Ye Fan, your grandfather was unfortunately poisoned to death. As Ye Fan's wife, you cannot shirk responsibility! Originally, you were also one of the main suspects, but in consideration of your status as a mber of the Su Family Direct Lineage, I've pleaded with Captain Zhou Shuo for a long ti and he finally decided not to detain you!"
"However, your grandfather's death is a serious matter, and here I must announce, you are suspended from your duties!"
What! Suspended?
Boom!!!
As soon as the words were spoken, it was like thunder striking Su Ruoxue, and she was imdiately stunned.
