Welcoming Hall.

Still the familiar Welcoming Hall.

But yesterday's reception was for the Lin Family.

And today's reception is for guests from afar.

The Bo Family from Thunder City, being the Hall Master of the Foolish Underworld, An Menyi had naturally heard of them.

He just didn't expect that they would actually take a special trip to Tianyuan Town.

The matter to be investigated is about a group called the Six Ghost Path Rats.

Through the dispatch of records, there are indeed traces of the Six Ghost Path Rats being active in Tianyuan Town, but it all happened a few years ago. In the end, no one was caught, only records were left behind.

However, recently, a new description was added to this record, saying that some time ago, the Six Ghost Path Rats illegally entered the Diao Residence of the Foolish Underworld and were ultimately driven out.

The record was made by a team member named Mi Hengpeng.

The existence of a small fry like Mi Hengpeng naturally didn't leave much impression on the Hall Masters.

But the Diao Residence, isn't that Diao Deyi's residence?

Hence, Captain of the Yangshen Hall, Diao Deyi, was summoned to the Welcoming Hall.

[Bo Wei: 3105/3105.]

[Bo Tong: 2215/2215.]

[Bo Yunqiao: 1809/1809.]

[Bo Dian: 1964/1964.]

[...]

When Fang Yu entered the Welcoming Hall, the first thing he saw was these unfamiliar figures.

All named Bo?

A hint of doubt flashed through Fang Yu's mind, but he maintained his composure and saluted the Hall Masters.

"Greetings, Lord Hall Master."

Bo Wei was leisurely drinking tea at his seat when An Menyi introduced at the side.

"This is Diao Deyi, whom I mentioned earlier, one of our Yangshen Hall's captains. Diao Deyi, have you heard of the Six Ghost Path Rats?"

What could Fang Yu say, claim ignorance? That clearly wasn't realistic.

After a brief pause, Fang Yu replied, "...I've heard a little."

Fang Yu vaguely guessed what these people were here for.

He just didn't expect that Bo Fanfan would have such significant influence that people would come all the way from Thunder City to stand up for him after his death!

"Among the Six Ghost Path Rats, there is one named Bo Fanfan, a descendant of the Bo Family, one of the Ten Major Families of Thunder City. Some time ago, Bo Fanfan lost contact, so the Bo Family sent them here to investigate the situation and find the person as soon as possible."

Whether it was An Menyi speaking euphemistically or the visitors were using this pretext, it was unclear.

Having come all this way, it certainly wasn't just a simple matter of a missing person.

"Lord Hall Master, how should I assist these gentlemen in conducting the investigation?" Fang Yu planned to feign ignorance.

"Simple, just recount the incident of the Six Ghost Path Rats invading your residence in detail to these Bo Family envoys. Then cooperate with their actions in whatever they wish to investigate."

Currently, with the Foolish Underworld facing hostility from the Lin Family, if they could pull in a major family from Thunder City to support them, it would add a bit more negotiating power against the Five Great Families in the future.

But An Menyi was just thinking; from the attitude of the Bo Family members, they seemed solely interested in investigating the matter, not participating in local disputes of Tianyuan Town.

Bo Wei squinted his eyes now.

"Captain Diao, why did the Six Ghost Path Rats break into your home?"

"Don't know." Fang Yu shook his head.

"Don't know?"

"Yes."

"But the records clearly state..."

Fang Yu interrupted, "On that day, indeed some thieves attempted to break into my residence, but at the time, I wasn't present. It was my subordinates who discovered and drove them away. Since I never saw the intruders myself, I'm uncertain if they were the Six Ghost Path Rats."

"Only later, after my subordinates conducted an investigation, did I learn the identity of the thieves."

"However, the thief has been missing for many days, and currently, there isn't a trace of them to be found. I haven't pursued the matter further since they might fear the energy of the Foolish Underworld and have already fled Tianyuan Town."

"..."

Bo Wei was silent for a moment, then said, "I see, it seems Captain Diao also knows little. Then please have Mi Hengpeng come here; I'd like to personally ask some questions."

Fang Yu glanced at the Hall Master, who nodded, and Fang Yu instructed the guards at the entrance to summon Mi Hengpeng.

At this moment, the Hall Master began chatting casually with Bo Wei about the customs and culture of Thunder City, while Fang Yu listened idly.

Before long, Mi Hengpeng arrived.

He seemed somewhat bewildered, not expecting such a grand scene here, his body trembling slightly.

"S-see, see the Lord Hall Master! See Captain Diao!"

As he bowed his head, he glanced at Fang Yu from the corner of his eye, his gaze filled with confusion and a plea for help.

Fang Yu gave a reassuring look, calming him down a bit.

Then Bo Wei's inquiry began.

He primarily asked Mi Hengpeng about what happened on the day of the incident, how he investigated, where he investigated, and finally, what the current investigation results were.

"Because this matter is shrouded in mystery and the leads were cut off, I haven't continued to investigate further."

Mi Hengpeng hesitated.

He didn't mention that Fang Yu told him not to investigate further.

But in such a situation, offending Fang Yu would mean not being able to work under him anymore.

"This brother's investigation was quite meticulous, and his logic was sound, it's just a pity he couldn't uncover Bo Fanfan's whereabouts."

Bo Wei said, while understanding internally that the days Bo Fanfan was missing were likely when he was killed.

Knowing the approximate date would make the investigation easier.

After inquiring about some more details, Bo Wei prepared to take his leave.

"Don't you need our people to accompany you?"

An Menyi asked.

"No need, we'll conduct a preliminary investigation ourselves. If necessary, we'll seek help from the Foolish Underworld."

An Menyi smiled and said, "Visitors are guests after all, no need to be so polite. If there's anything you need, just look for Diao Deyi. He will fully assist you in completing the investigation."
