"Do not be afraid because of the situation."

Dou Le's voice was hoarse and slow, but the determination it conveyed was unwavering.

"Is the Wang family guilty?"

Ren Fei asked.

"Whether they are guilty or not will be clear with a simple investigation. If the Wang family is clean, they probably have nothing to fear from an investigation. I think we can't be careless in such a strategically important place as the capital."

Dou chuckled but didn't answer directly, because he didn't know whether he was guilty or not. However, he trusted Xia Linyuan more than the Wang family.

Ren Fei nodded, returned to her seat, and replied to K: "Go help."

K replied quickly: "Me alone?"

Ren Fei: "Mm."

K: "..."

...

Villa No. 27 in the Clouds.

Xia Linyuan was lying in bed, having a video call with Zang Long.

Zang Long spent three days finally obtaining the list of the thirty-six thieves.

At this moment, Zang Long was excitedly recounting how he obtained the list of the Thirty-Six Thieves.

"Yuan, you have no idea how exciting this was! I had just stepped into the study when Master Lu and Linglong came in right after. Luckily, I was quick-witted and hid on the roof beam."

Master Lu stayed too long, so I fell asleep on the roof beam. I hid in the study for seven or eight hours before I was able to secretly photograph the list of thirty thieves.

No favors owed to you by Old Master Lu. Pretty loyal, huh...?

Xia Linyuan listened to Zang Long's bizarre story and nodded silently: "He's a true friend. Name your price."

Zang Long was greatly shocked: "Yuan, talking about money hurts feelings. Luo Tian Da Zhan's money is enough for me to live on for a while."

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly: "You risked being beaten up this time to do things for me, so naturally I have to show my appreciation. Besides, I don't like owing favors."

Xia Linyuan then transferred five thousand yuan; any more than that would be the limit.

"In that case, I won't be polite."

Zang Long chuckled, but couldn't resist taking the money.

Xia Linyuan did not hang up the video call, but directly opened the picture of the thirty thieves sent by Zang Long.

This list of thirty-six thieves appears to be the original, with the paper showing an old yellow patina.

The name is above, and the sect is below. It's written in great detail. Even someone who isn't one of our own might not know it so clearly.

Xia Linyuan thought to himself.

Zoom in on the image, ready to look at the first one.

As he swiped, Xia Linyuan seemed to spot a familiar sect. He swiped back.

The four large characters "无漏金刚" (Wulou Jingang, meaning "Flawless Vajra") immediately came into Xia Linyuan's view.

Dou Hong – The Vajra Without Leaks!

Liu Neng – The Vajra Without Leaks!

Xia Linyuan frowned deeply. The reason Xia Linyuan knew about the Wulou Vajra was because Dou Le, the person in charge in East China, also knew how to use it.

Xia Linyuan subconsciously touched his shoulder.

My own shoulders have been pinched countless times by the Wulou Vajra technique.

The Jia Shen Rebellion occurred in 1940, and Dou Ye is only 79 years old now. He was only seven years old during the Jia Shen Rebellion (the background of Under One Person seems to be 2012).

Xia Linyuan slowly exhaled. If Master Dou really knew something, he would surely tell me if I asked him.

Uncle Dou... has he ever met my grandfather?

Xia Linyuan couldn't help but recall his first meeting with Dou Le.

'You should be thankful you met me; anyone else would have been sent to the bunker long ago!'

The mere thought of this possibility caused Xia Linyuan's mind to sprout rapidly, like branches in spring.

'Master Dou...why didn't you send me to the bunker back then?'

'Instead, they want to send me to an orphanage?'

'But back then, it seemed that Master Dou was indeed trying to arrest my grandfather...'

Dou Le's behavior was contradictory, which puzzled Xia Linyuan, and it was precisely because of this puzzlement that he dared not ask her directly.

Xia Linyuan knew Dou Le's temperament very well: he would reward the good and punish the evil. The entire atmosphere of the East China Company followed Dou Le's personality.

Xia Linyuan was afraid that if he asked, and the answer wasn't what he wanted, he would lose the old man Dou who had raised him.

Xia Linyuan suppressed his thoughts and looked at the other people on the list.

The final group to be captured was Wugensheng, the leader of the Three-Six Thieves.

"Yuan, you're mesmerized, aren't you?"

"I was also captivated when I first watched it. I really can't imagine that it was just a few people who stirred up such a bloody storm in the world of supernatural beings."

"I really don't understand why so many scions of prestigious families with bright futures would choose to follow Wugensheng, the leader of Quanxing Sect."

They even swore brotherhood with them! Let alone in the past, how many scions of prominent families would swear brotherhood with the Quanxing people now?

According to online rumors, he still had supporters even after the Jia Shen Rebellion broke out.

Li Muxuan, Lü Shiqi (an original character), Xia Huaisang, Wu Man... these renowned members of Quanxing, who could have easily stayed out of it, were still dragged into the mess...

Now, whenever I see the name "Wugensheng," a sense of respect wells up inside me.

Xia Linyuan remained silent, feeling a sharp, stabbing pain in his heart.

'You could have stayed out of it. Why didn't you?'

Looking at the three characters "Wugensheng," it seemed like an answer to Zang Long, and also an answer to himself:

"Perhaps he deserves it."

Chapter 128 Five Ghosts

"Brother Xia, we're back. The people from Huazhong have agreed to cooperate. We arrived at our destination at 3 a.m.

Gao Zhan's voice came up from downstairs.

Upon hearing that it was an internal company matter, Zang Long tactfully said, "Yuan, I need to eat now, so I'll stop talking for now. You go ahead with your work."

Xia Linyuan nodded slightly. Then he hung up the video call.

As he stepped out of his room, he saw the two brothers changing their shoes. Gao Zhan was carrying a cardboard box, and because his shoelaces were tied too tightly, he had to stand on one leg to take off his shoes.

Gao Yuan helped Gao Zhan up with a helpless expression.

When the two are not arguing, things are somewhat harmonious.

After changing his shoes, Gao Zhan and Gao Yuan walked into the room. Gao Zhan smiled at Xia Linyuan and said, "Brother Xia, this is a housewarming gift that we two brothers prepared for you."

Xia Linyuan was about to bring up work, but then swallowed the words back and asked, "What is this?"

"A robot vacuum cleaner. Xia-ge, your house is so big, and you don't have any maids to clean it. We thought we'd get you one to make things easier."

Gao Zhan said with a grin.

Xia Linyuan looked at the robot vacuum cleaner and asked, "How much does it cost?"

"More than two thousand, Brother Xia, please don't transfer two of these to me! I won't accept them. I was watching a video today and it taught me a little bit of knowledge: when people move to a new house, relatives and friends come to congratulate them and give them gifts."

"Brother Xia, it would be a bit embarrassing if no one congratulated you on your new house. We don't have any relatives and we weren't sure what to give as a gift. This robot vacuum cleaner is a congratulatory gift from both of us. If we accepted the money you transferred, who would give us gifts when we buy our own houses?"

Gao Zhan said with a smile. Gao Yuan nodded and said, "Yes, yes, yes."

Xia Linyuan felt a warmth in his heart: "Then I'll give you a gift when you buy a house."

"it is good!"

Gao Zhan responded, then said to Xia Linyuan, "By the way, Brother Xia, the Huazhong Company of that welfare home only said they would help us, but they didn't say how many people would help us..."

"It's alright. We just need to let them know about our actions so that they won't have an excuse to act recklessly in East China in the future."

Get some rest early tonight, and get up early tomorrow.

Xia Linyuan said calmly.

"learn."

Gao Zhan nodded.

Upon hearing this, Gao Yuan drove smoothly into the room where he had slept before.

Five small black lumps of coal, eyes wide open, flew about angrily, as if protesting that outsiders had moved into the house they guarded.

Xia Linyuan smiled slightly.

He casually summoned five ghosts. Looking at these little coal lumps driven only by instinct, he decided to give them a promotion.
