"The indecent video mentioned by this woman should be sufficient as evidence. The next objective is simple: capture Wu Ye alive and find the video or that booklet. Speaking of which, Wu Ye is just an ordinary person. It's one thing for him to use videos to threaten officials at various levels, but how dare he threaten The Way of the Extraordinary?"

"It's also possible that he only secretly filmed videos of ordinary dignitaries and didn't keep any of The Way of the Extraordinary. If we want to indict Chi Yue'an, the women in the building are witnesses."

In the dark night, under the lamplight, Kou Beiyue silently stared at the ordinary-looking young man wearing glasses and smoking a cigarette for about a dozen seconds. Then, he said, "No wonder Xiao Yuan appreciates you so much. She is sensitive and wary, and it's difficult for ordinary official members of The Way of the Extraordinary to get close to her, yet she trusts you alone and is friends with you. It's not without reason. From now on, um, from now on we are friends."

Teenagers are often pretentious and thin-skinned, feeling ashamed and embarrassed when expressing goodwill.

Seeing Zhang Yuanqing silent and lost in thought after he spoke, Kou Beiyue felt his self-esteem wounded and pressed him, "Aren't you happy to be friends with a master like me?"

Zhang Yuanqing snapped back to reality and instinctively said, "Yeah, sure."

Then he asked suspiciously, "Huh? What did you say just now? I didn't hear clearly." Kou Beiyue's face turned from green to white, and he snorted angrily, turning his head to the side.

Confused, Zhang Yuanqing took a deep breath and said, "I'm thinking about the plan of action. Since we've decided to get involved in this matter, analysis and deployment are essential. Rushing into the Copper Sparrow Tower rashly is the stupidest thing to do, and it's a dangerous place."

"Why? According to my analysis, that Wu Ye should be an ordinary person, not a member of The Way of the Extraordinary. Dealing with ordinary people doesn't require such caution, does it?" Kou Beiyue said, holding back the words "Just kill your way into the Copper Sparrow Tower!"

Wu Ye was definitely not a member of The Way of the Extraordinary, and Zhang Yuanqing agreed with that. The moral values of The Way of the Extraordinary couldn't withstand such torment.

An executive like Chi Yue'an would occasionally spend money to vent his inner darkness, just like spending his salary, carefully budgeting so there wouldn't be any problems. But opening such a place for power and sex trading, cultivating a team to engage in pyramid schemes, fraud, forcing good women into prostitution, etc., no member of The Way of the Extraordinary's moral values could withstand such squandering.

Zhang Yuanqing glanced at his phone, estimating the arrival time of the online taxi, and explained, "Chi Yue'an knows you, right? Your grudges with him all originated from the Copper Sparrow Tower. After encountering your assassination, he will definitely notify the Copper Sparrow Tower to strengthen security and even dispatch members of The Way of the Extraordinary to reside there and protect Wu Ye."

Kou Beiyue frowned, "What you said makes sense."

"But don't worry too much. You are an evil profession, not an official person, and you are alone. In Chi Yue'an's view, you are at most a relatively troublesome enemy. I guess his approach is to set up an ambush around himself or in the Copper Sparrow Tower, waiting for you to walk right into it. As for the official investigation, he won't consider it because this matter involves too many dignitaries, and these people can completely suppress it." Zhang Yuanqing analyzed logically.

As Kou Beiyue listened, he gradually became convinced, his thinking completely following the other party. "Then what should we do?"

What should we do?

Zhang Yuanqing had two ideas. The first was to sneak into the Copper Sparrow Tower, search for evidence, and then report it to Fu Qingyang, who would report it to the elders. In this way, the officials would naturally deal with Chi Yue'an, but the prerequisite was that he could find evidence to indict Chi Yue'an.

There was also another hidden danger: Chi Yue'an was an executive, an executive who controlled a district, and he had the Zhu family behind him. In addition, he was a consumer of the Copper Sparrow Tower, not the culprit. Such a crime might not be enough to put him to death.

As for the matter of killing Kou Yusi, Kou Beiyue, as an evil profession, certainly couldn't come forward to testify. Although the Five Elements Alliance had ways to make people tell the truth, in the Five Elements Alliance's system, relying solely on props to investigate a case didn't conform to the procedures; there had to be other evidence to support it.

This provided Chi Yue'an and his backers with an opportunity to drag things out. Like a lawsuit, the process was always complex and difficult, but also indispensable.

The second idea was simple: set a tiger against a wolf.

Push the case of the Copper Sparrow Tower to the Devil's Eye Heavenly King, letting bad people grind against bad people.

This was the lowest-risk method, and the feasibility was also high, but there was a fatal problem—it couldn't be controlled.

Zhang Yuanqing remembered what the squad leader had said: the Devil's Eye Heavenly King had caused two bloody cases in Songhai, killing nearly twenty people, and his moral values had been deducted a lot. He should be settling down a bit recently. In the Copper Sparrow Tower incident, there were too many people who deserved to die. With the Devil's Eye Heavenly King's character, he would never let these people go, but he wasn't stupid, and he would also consider the situation of insufficient moral values. A reasonable approach would be to first make a note in his little book and then take action after accumulating enough moral values.

But Zhang Yuanqing couldn't afford to wait. The interrogation of Kong Liangping tonight meant that this case had to be resolved quickly. Once Chi Yue'an and the other dignitaries knew that Kong Liangping had died, they would definitely make corresponding deployments to clean up the mess. When it came to scheming, Zhang Yuanqing knew very well that he couldn't outsmart those old foxes.

In addition, there was another drawback to the plan of setting a tiger against a wolf: who knew when the Devil's Eye Heavenly King would accumulate enough moral values, and the elders of the Songhai branch would be taking action soon. If the Devil's Eye Heavenly King suffered a big loss and chose to withdraw from Songhai, then it would all be for nothing.

"Let's go to the Copper Sparrow Tower first and gather intelligence," Zhang Yuanqing made a prudent decision.

Kou Beiyue looked at him strangely, "So, what's the difference between this and what I thought—directly storming the Copper Sparrow Tower?"

Zhang Yuanqing disdained, "The difference lies in the fact that you didn't think about anything before making this decision. But a wise man has already imagined a political drama in his mind before making a decision."

Kou Beiyue was unconvinced, "So, there's still no difference."

Zhang Yuanqing's mouth twitched, "Okay, don't worry about these details. The car is coming soon. When we get to the destination, listen to my instructions." To prevent this kid from arguing, Zhang Yuanqing changed the subject, "How did you and Xiao Yuan meet?"

Kou Beiyue recalled, "We met in a multi-player adversarial dungeon. At that time, I was careless and was almost killed by an orderly profession who ambushed me. Xiao Yuan saved me. Later, we exchanged contact information. She thought I was a good seed and brought me into Master Wuhen's team to cultivate."

Actually, it was a moment of softheartedness, not being able to bring himself to kill someone. He had just become an Enchanting Demon not long ago and had psychological barriers to killing people. But Kou Beiyue was too proud to admit it.

"I always thought you were Xiao Yuan's son. Um, does Xiao Yuan have a husband or boyfriend?" Zhang Yuanqing asked casually.

Kou Beiyue immediately became alert, "What are you trying to do?"

"Just thinking..." Zhang Yuanqing joked inwardly, but was upright and frank on the surface. "Xiao Yuan is beautiful and sexy. Isn't it normal to be curious about whether she has a partner? Of course, it's purely curiosity."

"I don't know. Anyway, I've never seen one." Kou Beiyue said with a rebellious look, sneering, "How many men in this world are worthy of Xiao Yuan?"

"You have a deep filter for Xiao Yuan," Zhang Yuanqing thought. He said "Oh" and stopped talking.

But Kou Beiyue couldn't stop, asking, "You know Yuan Shi Tianzun, right? I heard that kid is a genius who has emerged recently, killing Li Xianzong of the Soldiers Sect. Compared to him, who is stronger?"

Zhang Yuanqing didn't hesitate, "In front of him, I can only kneel down and sing 'Conquer'."

Kou Beiyue said blankly, "So amazing? It shouldn't be. Li Xianzong is about the same as me. You're a little stronger than me. Logically speaking, you and Yuan Shi Tianzun wouldn't be too different."

"You're about the same as Li Xianzong?" Zhang Yuanqing couldn't help but size up Kou Beiyue, thinking that this kid didn't seem like he would brag. "So strong? Um, he seems to be a level 3 Enchanting Demon. No wonder he was favored by the Devil's Eye Heavenly King..."

At this moment, a bright white car slowly decelerated and stopped beside the two. The online taxi had arrived.

Half an hour later, the white car arrived at Xinyuan Road and parked a hundred meters away from No. 38. Zhang Yuanqing paid the fare and got out of the car with Kou Beiyue.

He came to the roadside, sat cross-legged under a green plant, summoned the Bloodthirsty Blade, and said, "I'm going in. You take good care of my physical body, little brother. Don't stab me in the back."

This was the plan they had agreed upon in the car. He would first leave his body in spirit form and enter the Copper Sparrow Tower to gather intelligence, and then decide what to do next based on the actual situation. If his spirit left his body, his physical body would become vulnerable.

Kou Beiyue rolled his eyes.

What he couldn't see was that at his feet, a round, adorable baby with sparse downy hair raised its head and sized him up.

Little Funny was Zhang Yuanqing's other insurance policy. Although he didn't think Kou Beiyue would betray him, it was better to be safe than sorry. At a critical moment, Little Funny could buy him time.

"I have to refine a Yin corpse as soon as possible so that I can have a strong bodyguard by my side next time my spirit leaves my body," Zhang Yuanqing thought to himself as his spirit floated out of his body.
