Chapter 713: Victory

“Yes?”

Ruan Dong’s expression froze as he listened attentively.

Leng Yan said slowly, “Although the aura on that person’s body is terrifying, he has never attacked. He has always let the people around him attack. He seems to be worried about something or he’s injured.”

If this was used well, it could become the secret to victory.

This was something she had to tell the Metaphysics Management Office.

Ruan Dong made a reasonable guess. “Is there a possibility that the person who assassinated you is Master Peng?”

Since he had found something suspicious about Master Peng, Master Peng should be flustered.

It was very likely that he would make a move.

Leng Yan continued, “It’s very likely! When He Jun and I went to investigate the Daoist Association, Master Peng happened to come out of seclusion. His aura isn’t very stable and he even feels empty. This might be why he didn’t make a move.”

He might have been attacked hard.

His magic power had yet to recover. He had coincidentally encountered Leng Yan and He Jun’s probing and had yet to hide his aura. n/o/vel/b//in dot c//om

They attacked the two captains on the way to seal their mouths and prevent the news of his body being depleted from spreading. At the same time, he wanted to intercept the information on the futon.

That made sense.

Yu Su suddenly thought of a few backlashes and said, “If he’s really the mastermind, it’s rather fitting. I used Yu Miao and He Wan to backlash the mastermind a few times. It’s very likely that his body’s abilities are depleted, and his seclusion is even more of a way to deceive people. Essentially, he’s recuperating.”

In that case, wouldn’t it make sense?

The reason why he did not take the initiative to assassinate both of them was because his magic power was still very weak.

Yu Su recalled that she had tested Peng Chan’s Dharmic powers in the ward last time, but she realized that his Dharmic powers were still considered deep.

Could it be that Peng Chan had obtained some fortuitous encounter and replenished the Dharmic powers in his body?

“Then why is he so anxious to obtain the spirit stone mine in the Hu family’s development area?”

Ruan Dong frowned. He felt that there was something he could not figure out.

Yu Su was also deep in thought.

If Peng Chan was the person behind him, his body would be empty after the backlash and he had made up for it through some method.

However, he still needed spirit stones.

Why did he need spirit stones?

A different thought suddenly appeared in Yu Su’s mind. “Perhaps he wants spirit stones to extend his lifespan! After he suffered a backlash, his foundation was unstable and his luck became scarce. His lifespan will naturally decrease. If he doesn’t forcefully increase his realm, he will die!”

To the mastermind, lifespan was the most important.

After so many years of planning and obtaining so much luck, wasn’t it just to extend his lifespan?

If his lifespan was about to end, he naturally could not sit still.

That was why Master Peng personally came to Hu Rui’s ward to persuade the Hu family to cure the worm and he wanted get the Hu family’s spirit stone mine as soon as possible.

Leng Yan’s heart skipped a beat. The premonition in her heart was very strong. “That should be the reason!”

“We need to confirm the identity of the mastermind again. At the very least, we have to obtain the relevant evidence before we can do anything else,” Ruan Dong said.

Yu Su nodded. “Understood.”

Ruan Dong also had to report to his superiors. He could not always fight alone.

When necessary, his superiors would naturally give him the right to exercise his authority independently.

Yu Su thought of something else and said to him, “I’m going to Chinatown tomorrow. Everything is ready. The worm poison in Hu Rui’s body can be cured. If the management office has extra manpower, can you send me two people?”

Yesterday, the Hu family had sent her a message, saying that they had already prepared everything and could go to Chinatown at any time.

Yu Su told the Hu family to book a flight the day after tomorrow.

Ruan Dong nodded. “Of course. In Chinatown, if you need anything, you can use the name of the association to complete your matters.”

The three of them chatted for a while more before Yu Su left.

That night, Leng Yan was brought home by her family to recuperate. There were also people from the management office stationed near her house to protect her.

At night, Yu Su sent a message to Wen Chuan.

Yu Su: [Senior Brother, when I go back this time, prepare more specialties for me. The pastry was too delicious last time. The studio staff didn’t have enough.]

She read the book as she waited for a reply.

Not long after, Wen Chuan replied: [I mailed you ten boxes last time. Isn’t that enough? I’ve been studying a gameplay recently. When you come, you have to play another game with me. Eversince you had left, there’s no one with skills comparable to you. It’s too boring..]
