Chapter 98 If you want to live a decent life, you have to have some green on your head
"He Huo Bei Dao, I want you to die!!!"
Tianqi's face turned red, like a red balloon that would burst at any time. But this time, it was no wonder that Tianqi couldn't control his temper.
The reason is also very simple.
He saw the emotion in He Huo Bei Dao's (Li Zhongren) eyes when he looked at his wife, and the image was recorded by the puppet on his wife's body.
This is something no man can tolerate.
"Tianqi, control your temper."
A voice sounded in Tenki's ears, but it was not his uncle Ebizo or someone else. Obviously, Chiyo knew that her son was no match for this Genin in terms of intelligence, and she was afraid that he would do something impulsive again, so she asked this uncle to come along.
"First of all, why is he looking at you like that?"
Ebizo looked at the information brought back by Kamikakushi, and then looked back at Kamikakushi. After all, this puppet only had the first-person perspective of He Huo Bei Dao.
"Uncle, I...I don't know either."
Shenyin felt a little guilty, because only she knew that at that moment, maybe because she had read the articles he wrote, or maybe for some other reason, she actually had a vague desire in her heart to get to know the man more deeply. The last time she had this thought was when she met her husband.
Fortunately, this feeling gradually dissipated not long after I left the office, but whenever I think about it, I still feel guilty.
"I was stumped by Ye Cang and him at the time. I wanted to lie, but when I thought about how it was Tianqi who hurt him first, I felt a little guilty."
"Guilty?"
Ebizo was slightly stunned.
"Make that expression for me."
"Okay, uncle, that's it?"
As an intelligence ninja, Shenyin quickly recounted his expression at that time. This recounting was not important. Not only Ebizo, but even Tianqi was stunned, because at that moment, they felt as if they saw Yamato Keiko, not in terms of appearance, but in terms of the temperament that emanated from their bones. Both women were gentle and virtuous.
"I see."
Seeing this, Ebizo understood.
"He probably hasn't seen Shenyin before. Even if he had, he wouldn't have thought of his wife before Shenyin showed a similar expression. This should be just a beautiful coincidence. I think he let Shenyin go as a hostage. If we do something bad when he is coordinating the information, Shenyin may be punished. This is the most reasonable explanation. However, this is an opportunity to steal the information in his mind."
"Uncle, you???"
Tianqi and Shenyin both looked at Ebizo, especially Tianqi, who suddenly felt as if he had an extra hat on his head.
"A ninja is someone who can endure what others cannot endure."
Ebizo looked at his nephew and his nephew's wife.
"The feud between us and him has reached the point where there is no end in sight. Once a genius like him gains power in the future, he will become our family's greatest enemy. And all of this is caused by your, Tianqi's misjudgment."
"However, I haven't figured out his purpose in analyzing that information yet, but one thing is certain, a man like him would never do useless work. Instead of passively waiting for him to make a move, we might as well take the initiative to see what he wants to do."
"certainly."
Seeing that Tianqi seemed to be on the verge of collapse, Ebizo no longer kept the secret and took out a small bottle from his arms, which was filled with light pink liquid.
"This is a truth serum prepared by your mother herself. As long as we create a space where the two of us can be alone, He Huo Bei Dao will lose his resistance instantly. And while the drug is taking effect, he will answer any questions you ask him truthfully, and after waking up, he won't remember anything related to it."
"It's just that I was always worried about how to create such a space. After all, Ye Cang almost never leaves the Hehuo Beidao. Now that there is this coincidence, Shenyin, maybe you can try to take advantage of it. Maybe, you might suffer a little loss?"
"By the way, you shouldn't dislike Shinigakushi for this, right?"
Ebizo turned his head again and looked at his nephew, Tianqi, who was standing beside him.
"I swear, I will kill him, I must!!"
Tianqi did not answer his uncle's question, but clenched his fist tightly, blood slowly flowing out from the gaps between his fingers.——
Early in the morning, light penetrated the glass, shone into the study, and spread onto the desk. Li Zhongren stayed up all night, organizing all the information he analyzed based on the big data model in this notebook.
On the side, Ye Cang quietly looked at everything Li Zhongren wrote.
The more she looked, the more frightened she became.
The more she looked, the more disappointed she became.
The production cost of a bag of mass-produced puppet screws is 900,000 taels.
A leather kettle used by ninjas, 90,000 taels
Even the most interesting thing is that He Huo Bei Dao (Li Zhongren) came to a conclusion through data analysis that because there is a lot of water in the Rain Country, a certain unit of Sand Village wanted to build a floating dock at a strategic point at a cost of 20 million taels, but not long after, they built the same dock at the same place again, spending another 20 million taels.
What's even more infuriating is that all this information was not even reported to Fengying. Instead, a method of breaking the whole into pieces was used. Instead of reporting on the construction of dams, different materials were purchased separately. When these materials were scattered and did not exceed a certain value, they would not be reported to Fengying, but would be drowned in the vast amount of information.
It’s not that Fengying is so stupid, but the information generated by the battle situation on the front line is as vast as the ocean. If someone intends to conceal it, it would be impossible to find it even if you want to. To be honest, Ye Cang still can’t figure out how the man in front of him did it.
However, she knew that there was only one reason driving this man to do this: revenge.
Moreover, the target of this revenge is bigger than she thought, not just the Chiyo family, but all the ninja families in the Sand Village headed by the Chiyo family! !
"Ye Cang."
Closing the notebook, Li Zhongren looked at Ye Cang.
"I might have to do something that's going to be dangerous for you."
"I will accompany you to the end."
Ye Cang looked at the sun outside, then his gaze moved a little lower and fell on the lonely grave.
"sorry"
This time, it was Li Zhongren who said sorry.
"If each of us says sorry, we are...even?"
Ye Cang turned his head and looked at Li Zhongren, with some longing in his eyes.
"Well, it's even."
Hearing this, Ye Cang felt that the most blocked part of his heart seemed to be unblocked all of a sudden.
"So, we go arrest someone?"
A smile finally appeared on Ye Cang's face, and he even rolled up his sleeves.
"How about we start with the director of the Logistics Project Planning Department, who is walking on the Ten De Shui River? I always thought he was a good man, a rare thrifty guy, but I didn't expect him to be a corrupt official. This bastard always says that he is the son of the people of the Sand Country."
"Don't go."
Li Zhongren shook his head.
"Why? Are you afraid that you can't beat them? Don't worry, there are not many people in the Sand Village who can beat me."
"It's not about that, it's about, we have no evidence."
"Isn't this evidence?"
“This is just a deduction.”
Li Zhongren smiled and yawned. "They have been doing this for a long time, so how could they leave obvious evidence? Of course, we can investigate, but it's hard to say how long it will take."
"What should I do?"
"you say."
Li Zhongren shook the notebook in his hand.
"What would happen if the contents written on it were discovered by the Ninja Clan?"
"Eh"
Ye Cang tilted his head.
"Kill you?"
"Under the nose of Master Kazekage, and under your protection?"
"I do not know then."
Ye Cang shook his head.
"Do you think Lord Kazekage is a fool?"
"Not like that. Well, I mean, no."
"So, although Master Fengying doesn't have any specific information, as a smart man, he can naturally see that there is something wrong with the accounts, but why doesn't he ask about it?"
"Why."
"Because this is a tacit understanding. Lord Kazekage needs the Ninja Clan to manage the Sand Village for him and to fight for him. This is the result of a mutual compromise. Therefore, for some things, unless the evidence is in front of him, he will not take the initiative to investigate. What if he really finds something?"
"I feel like throwing up."
After pondering for a long time, Ye Cang suddenly spoke.
"Is this the Sand Village that I want to fight for?"
"That involves a problem, Ye Cang."
"What."
"Is this village the village of the Sunagakure people, or... the village of those ninja families?"
-
"boom!!"
A loud bang drew everyone's attention to the office area where Li Zhongren was, as if something had happened inside.
As the deputy district chief, Shenyin quickly stood up and walked over, knocked on the door, actually listening attentively.
"Hehuo District Chief, what happened?"
"He Huo Bei Dao, you bastard!!"
Ye Cang's voice could be heard faintly in the room.
"For you, I even turned down Lord Fengying's transfer order and guarded you day and night. I can't compare to your wife, I admit it. How can I be inferior to a stinky woman? Why can she? Because she looks like your wife when she smiles?"
"I saved your life. I don't owe you anything. You owe me something. What are you going to pay me back with???"
"Da da da da."
With her super hearing, Shen vaguely heard these words, but she felt an inexplicable throbbing in her heart. Of course, this throbbing soon disappeared, and she quickly stepped back.
After a moment, Ye Cang opened the door, glanced coldly at Shen Yin, and turned away.
"Hehuo District Chief, do you need my help?"
"Close the door."
In the room, Li Zhongren's face was gloomy, he just lowered his head and waved his hand.
"Yes."
"This bastard is really thinking about you."
At night, Kamikakushi relied on her bloodline limit and mist escape to leave the town quietly. Outside the town, she reunited with her husband and uncle and told them what happened during the day.
However, although Tianqi gritted his teeth, he seemed to react quickly.
"Uncle, is there any fraud here?"
"good."
Ebizo nodded with satisfaction.
"The fact that you can think of this proves that you are mature."
"I don't know what happened during the day, but I know that Ye Cang really left the town and headed for the Sand Village. You have to know that He Huo Bei Dao's own strength is not worth mentioning. Without Ye Cang's personal protection, once Lord Fengying's attention is not on him, it will only take a moment for him to be killed. The bounty hunter you hired has spread the news on the black market. He will not let it go like this."
"So, there is only one conclusion. He did have a disagreement with Ye Cang for some reason. Even a fool can see that Ye Cang likes him, but he only likes his wife, or someone similar to his wife."
Hearing this, Shenyin blushed a little.
"So, Shenyin, seize this opportunity and go find him tonight. If Ye Cang changes his mind and comes back halfway, there will never be such a good opportunity again."
"Will she regret it?"
Tianqi was angry, but also a little curious.
"Of course."
Ebizo looked full of emotion.
“When you like something and have invested so much in it, it’s hard to give it up at the first opportunity.”
"Oh!"
Tianqi slammed his palm.
"No wonder you are still single, uncle. I heard from mom that you also chased after a girl when you were young."
"."
One update. There will be another update in the evening.
It's a bit late today, and I'm a little stuck.
