How could Qiu Dugu have found out?

Ma Shaoku's heart skipped a beat as he looked at Qiu Dugu, his mind filled with suspicion and uncertainty.

"You, what do you mean? Naturally, we submitted it together. The paperwork and seals are from both of us."

"Is that so? But I heard a different version from my informant."

Qiu Dugu briefly recounted Fang Yue and the others' statements in his own words, observing Ma Shaoku's expression for any changes. His heart sank.

Judging from Ma Shaoku's flustered reaction, he was likely the culprit.

More importantly, once headquarters investigated, it would be impossible to hide the truth.

Gritting his teeth, Ma Shaoku said, "That's nonsense! How could I possibly embezzle the headquarters' strange objects? Even if you gave me ten guts, I wouldn't dare!"

Fang Yue raised an eyebrow. "Oh? Then what about contacting your subordinate Chen Yang to have the Bounty Company search for the parchment? Should I call Chen Yang right now?"

Ma Shaoku glared at Fang Yue. "Who are you? This is between me and Lao Qiu, what's it to you!"

"Me? I'm just an ordinary otaku passing by."

Fang Yue shrugged, while Qiu Dugu said, "I've already contacted headquarters to confirm the situation. Ma Shaoku, think carefully. Confess now, and we'll be lenient. If you remain stubborn, no one can save you!"

Ma Shaoku clenched his fists. He'd made a significant blunder. An ordinary person wouldn't find any traces, but if the power of the Lian Shou Hui (United Hands Society) headquarters was used, everything would be exposed under the bright light!

Looking at Qiu Dugu, who had just fought a major battle, Ma Shaoku's eyes darted around. Suddenly, he shoved Qiu Dugu and ran outside.

This surprised Fang Yue. kanShuLa

This guy was quick to expose himself. He had no sense of composure at all. He didn't know how he even entered the Lian Shou Hui (United Hands Society). Even Fang Yue was better than him.

Fang Yue didn't chase after him, but instead watched Qiu Dugu's performance.

As expected, Ma Shaoku, weakened by his injuries, was quickly captured by Qiu Dugu's Bianhua Fa (Changing Hair Technique).

"You can touch his physical body?!"

Aming exclaimed in surprise, while Bai Xiaoya, carrying her bone spear, walked towards them menacingly, scaring Ma Shaoku into surrendering immediately.

"Surrender! Surrender! I confess! I'll confess everything! It was the An Ying Hui (Shadow Society)! The An Ying Hui (Shadow Society) offered me a high price to buy me out. They wanted the parchment. I didn't know at the time that the parchment was such a hot potato, so I accepted."

"Later, according to the plan, the parchment was lost outside and replaced with a fake by me."

"But the problem was that I couldn't find the lost parchment, and I didn't dare to look for it myself."

"So, I'm hiding it from the Lian Shou Hui (United Hands Society), and I'm also deceiving the An Ying Hui (Shadow Society), pretending that I have it in my hands, stalling them, and sending people to frantically search for the parchment's whereabouts."

"Do you know how much I've suffered these days? Haven't you been asking me why I've been smoking more lately?"

"I'm anxious! My hair is falling out in clumps!"

"During that time, I not only had to guard against the Lian Shou Hui (United Hands Society), but also the An Ying Hui (Shadow Society) who were monitoring me."

"Because I don't know where the parchment is now! I didn't want this either. Later, I wanted to confess several times, really, but the An Ying Hui (Shadow Society) didn't give me a chance. They forced me to work for them. It was all the An Ying Hui's (Shadow Society) doing!"

Ma Shaoku pleaded for mercy on his knees, lamenting his situation.

Qiu Dugu looked at his former partner, now in this state, and clenched his fists.

"How could you become like this? Ma Shaoku, have you forgotten our ideals when we first met!"

Qiu Dugu reprimanded loudly. Ma Shaoku, who had been begging for mercy, suddenly stood up as if his tail had been stepped on, and shrieked, "Fine! You're high and mighty, you don't care about worldly affairs, you can die for your ideals. But brother, I need to eat, I need to live!"

"Isn't the Lian Shou Hui's (United Hands Society) salary enough for you to eat? How greedy are you!"

"I used to think it was enough, but now I don't. So many people who are even more useless than me can get rich in the An Ying Hui (Shadow Society), and can enjoy a good life in the high-level of the Lian Shou Hui (United Hands Society), without having to deal with loopholes or Guidu Xian (Weirdness Index), only needing to move their mouths to complete a day's work.

Why can they be comfortable, but I can't? Am I worse than them? It's just that I'm lacking a powerful strange object! The Lian Shou Hui (United Hands Society) can't give it to me, but the An Ying Hui (Shadow Society) can! The An Ying Hui (Shadow Society) has promised to give me a position among the Thirteen Daoists.

I didn't know who was going to step down, but now it seems like they're going to give me Bai Daoren's position. Unfortunately… it's all been ruined by you!"

Ma Shaoku didn't feel like he was wrong at all, but instead felt that Fang Yue and the others had ruined his future.

Watching his former comrade, even his thoughts warped, Qiu Dugu closed his eyes in pain.

"Lian Shou Hui (United Hands Society), Rule One, Section One: Traitors to the Lian Shou Hui (United Hands Society) shall die!"

When he opened his eyes, his eyes were filled with determination. Fang Yue thought he was going to kill Ma Shaoku.

But in fact, he only used his hair to tie up the ethereal Ma Shaoku.

Then he made several more phone calls. About half an hour later, a helicopter flew in from the horizon and landed nearby.

Fang Yue and the others were all preparing to greet them, but when the helicopter landed steadily and the people inside came out, Qiu Dugu's expression changed drastically.

"Luo Shuang?! Why is it you?!"

"Why can't it be me?" Luo Shuang jiggled her ample breasts, and walked towards Fang Yue and the others with a seductive gait.

"I didn't want to make this trip, but the higher-ups insisted that I, the Thirteen Daoist closest to you, had to come forward, so I had to make a trip reluctantly."

Luo Shuang approached step by step. Qiu Dugu's nerves tightened. It was clear that he was very wary of this large-breasted woman in front of him.

"Are you going to attack us? I've already contacted the people from the Lian Shou Hui (United Hands Society). They're on their way. Think carefully. If you can't take us down in a short amount of time, you'll be stuck here!"

Qiu Dugu said with implied threat. Fang Yue didn't feel any sense of crisis.

After all, it was nighttime now, the Nighttime War God didn't need to talk much!

His lifespan was about to be burned.

Luo Shuang in front suddenly stopped, looked into the distance, hesitated, and then suddenly retreated and returned to the helicopter.

"Withdraw! He's here!"

"Yes!"

There were also people in the helicopter, and they immediately started it. Fang Yue frowned and asked, "Should we leave her behind?"

"Can you do it?"

"Of course…"

Boom!

Before Fang Yue could finish speaking, the helicopter, which had just taken off and wasn't very high, exploded.

The rotor blades flew everywhere, and the helicopter's main body shattered and scattered into the distance. Luo Shuang didn't know where she fell.

Looking at this scene, Fang Yue and the others were stunned.

What... was going on?
