Chapter 199 The road to promotion
[Last night, Taoyuan City, which is not like Taoyuan, once again had a family-killing tragedy. A migrant worker was furious that his boss at the construction site withheld his wages. He broke into his boss's home with a knife late at night and brutally killed the boss's family of six who were having dinner. This is the seventh vicious crime that has occurred in Taoyuan City this month...]

The old city of Yundu is full of traces of the times. The LCD screen in the center of the barbecue restaurant is playing yesterday's evening news. Yunzhou TV doesn't like to show movies or TV series in the second half of the night when the ratings are low. Instead, it will use reruns of news and advertisements to make the whole night pass.

"Fuck, what a ruthless person, just wipe out the whole family."

"666, you are willing to sacrifice your life to bring down the capitalists. You are a role model for our generation."

"I bet on a plate of beef tripe in sesame sauce that this guy must be a bachelor, because men with families don't dare to go to extremes."

"Of course, nowadays, employers give priority to those who are married, have children, or have mortgages..."

"Employees with weak points are easier to exploit, and they dare not resist."

Sitting across the aisle was a table of students. A few young guys who hadn't even graduated from high school were drinking beer and eating skewers, watching the rerun of the evening news, chatting about meaningless things, drinking bland water, and shouting that they wanted to pick up knives and chop up someone.

Feng Yushu glanced at the evening news on the screen, then looked at Ning Zhe and stammered, "It's Taoyuan City again..."

In recent months, the public security in Taoyuan City has been getting worse and worse. There have been 7 reported serious crimes this month alone, one of which was a brutal murder of an entire family...

Feng Yusu couldn't understand the reason, but for some reason, she felt that Ning Zhe might know something.

"Why are you looking at me like that?" Ning Zhe raised his lips slightly, his smile harmless: "Do I look like the mastermind behind a shocking conspiracy?"

Feng Yusu thought that they really looked alike.

"Okay, let's go home after we finish eating. If you go home too late, your daughter will probably tell her father that mom is secretly having an affair outside." Ning Zhe said with a smile.

"Eh? This, I... No, Ah Zhi goes to bed very early, at nine o'clock every day." Feng Yushu hurriedly explained: "I came out only after I saw she was asleep..."

"That's even more suspicious."

After joking with Feng Yusu, Ning Zhe called the waiter to settle the bill, packed up the remaining barbecue, went downstairs with Feng Yusu and then separated. The two left this street barbecue restaurant located in the old city of Yundu one after another.

Bai Zhi didn't fool him. If he wanted to find delicious food, he really had to come to the old city. Any roadside barbecue restaurant in the old city tasted better than the high-end restaurant that Ning Zhe and Zhang Hanying and her sister had eaten at in the new city this morning.

"Hmm?" Ning Zhe suddenly frowned while walking on the road.

A subtle feeling of being spied on came over me, as if something was following me quietly. When I turned around, I saw a pair of bright eyes hanging like lanterns in the deep darkness, staring at me motionlessly.

No, that's a lantern.

The street behind him was empty. He had walked out of the food court and was surrounded by an old residential area. The lights in the community were dim. An elderly security guard was sitting in the security booth smoking. A large wolfhound on a chain was squatting at his feet. Two lanterns that were put up during this year's Dragon Boat Festival were hung at the door.

Ning Zhe walked over and threw a piece of boiled beef ribs from the lunch box to the dog. The wolf's big green tail immediately wagged rapidly.

"did not find."

The pair of eyes that were secretly watching him just now were neither the security guard in the pavilion nor the big wolf-blue dog.

Leaving the security booth behind, Ning Zhe quickly left the residential area, walked through the old streets of the old city with crisscrossing streets, and came to the riverside.

After crossing the Han River Bridge, the new city area is on the other side of the river. However, locals generally prefer to take a boat because the Han River Bridge has only 6 lanes and there are often traffic jams on weekdays.

Ning Zhe scanned 100 yuan to the boat driver and asked him to start the boat immediately. The boat ticket across the river is 8 yuan per ticket, which is relatively cheap. So in order not to lose money, the boatman usually waits until the boat is almost full before starting the boat across the river. The boat he was on can carry 10 people at most.

The hard bow of the boat parted the soft river water, and the lanterns under the bridge passed over the head. After crossing the bridge, the feeling of being spied on still did not disappear, like a maggot hooked in the joint, lingering around.

One o'clock in the morning in the new city area is when the nightlife begins. Ning Zhe got off the boat and hurriedly walked into the crowded CBD, submerging his body in the crowd. The feeling of being stared at finally disappeared.

"Sure enough, I was followed..." Ning Zhe breathed a sigh of relief. It was not an illusion that he was being spied on just now.

The public security in Yundu is very good, mainly because the public security in major cities in China is basically not that bad. The city's sky eyes that can be seen everywhere, combined with strict law enforcement, have gradually eliminated the car robberies that were very popular in the early 2000s, and highway robberies are almost invisible. This is a country where street fights can make the local news.

"The person who followed me just now is probably not a petty thief or robber. They usually don't target adult males, so..."

Is it the one who ascends or the one who grants the title? Or someone else?

What a coincidence? He had just made the guess that Bai Fugui's true identity might be Fen Wu, and he was followed on his way back? After looking around, Ning Zhe walked into the women's restroom of a shopping mall, intending to change his gender and identity and leave.

When the compartment door was opened, a pair of hands suddenly stretched out from inside and covered Ning Zhe's mouth and nose.

"Well……"

"Shh, don't make a sound."

The person hiding in the women's restroom cubicle was none other than Lan Shiwen.

"Fuck, why are you here?" Ning Zhe opened his eyes wide and lowered his voice.

"I knew you would come to the women's restroom, so I waited for you here." Lan Shiwen breathed a sigh of relief, with a strange look on his face: "Why are you going to the women's restroom for no reason?"

"It has nothing to do with you." Ning Zhe felt a little guilty: "Why are you looking for me so late at night?"

Lan Shiwen closed the cubicle door and said in a low voice, "I need your help with something."

"You say, I may not agree."

"You will say yes."

Lan Shiwen looked calm and said in a calm tone: "There are five direct descendants of the Liu family in this generation, two sons and three daughters. Four of them have been killed by me. There is also a son who is planning to flee abroad. His name is Liu Hongwen and he is already on the plane."

"So?" Ning Zhe looked at him.

"Liu Hongwen also fled abroad with Shen Changjiang, the vice president of the Yanzhou Merchants Association. They have all established connections with foreign forces and are preparing to defect abroad with a batch of confidential documents and important resources."

Lan Shiwen continued, "I know you accepted Duo'a's commission and were planning to kill the vice president of the Yanzhou Merchants Association, but he had already learned the news and fled overnight. I hope that when you kill him, you can also kill Liu Hongwen and his wife and children who were taken abroad by him."

Ning Zhe frowned and looked at Lan Shiwen with a strange expression: "Do I look like a humble person who dares not forget to worry about the country?"

"No, so your trip won't be in vain." Lan Shiwen said:

"Yunzhou does not support me in exterminating the entire Liu family, so you will not get any support from the government after you go abroad. This is a personal commission from me to you, that is, after killing Liu Hongwen and Shen Changjiang, you can keep all the things they took out of the country for yourself. I will not ask about it, and I will help you cover it up."

"Besides that, I will personally give you another reward."

Ning Zhe became interested: "What's the reward?"

"Fenwu's information." Lan Shiwen said seriously.

Ning Zhe took a deep breath, a playful look on his face: "The rules for predicting the future are indeed well-deserved, you are right, I will agree.

But I won't risk my life to work for you for nothing just because of a few words. I need a deposit."

"I know." Lan Shiwen nodded. He knew Ning Zhe would ask this:

"Fen Wu is an old guy who has been active in the Ascender circle since the 70s. This Ascender has survived through the changes of times and has survived until now. Do you know what this means?"

Those who are promoted control ghosts with their bodies. While controlling the rules, they are also constantly suffering from the backlash of evil ghosts. Ning Zhe himself is a living example.

Ning Zhe has been controlling Taiyi since June 6th of this year, and today is July 5th. In the past two months, he has lost himself several times and was on the verge of death. This is even with the mental stamp of Taiyi simulation and the observation and blessing of the Four-Faced Buddha.

The other upgraded ones do not have Ning Zhe's mentality and circumstances, and their lives will be even shorter than Ning Zhe's. If they want to prolong their lives, they must either pay a huge price like Yu Ziqian to find a fierce ghost who can make up for their core defects, or try not to use the power of rules and linger on as a mortal.

However, Fenwu, the upgraded person, has been active from the 70s to the present. He is not hiding until now, but is active until now.

what does this mean?
This means that Fenwu has gone a long way on the road to advancement and has even begun to explore the end of this thorny road.

"Do you want to know where the end of the road to promotion is?" Lan Shiwen asked softly, "Do you want to know what our future will be like?"
