CHAPTER 602: CHAPTER 601 REVEALING THE TRUTH (1/3)

Daoist Tai Wen, after a quick turn of thoughts, snorted coldly and said to several people, "Elder Zhang! President Zhang! Since you don’t believe me, why bother asking me to come? In that case, I’ll just leave!"

After speaking, Daoist Tai Wen flicked his sleeve and strode towards the outside.

"Wait!" Elder Zhang spoke up.

Daoist Tai Wen stopped and looked at Elder Zhang.

Elder Zhang looked at Daoist Tai Wen and said calmly, "Daoist, no need to hurry. If things are investigated clearly, I’ll naturally give you justice, and the price we initially discussed will be doubled, how about that?"

Daoist Tai Wen’s expression turned uglier.

This doubled price was indeed very tempting, but he knew very well that he couldn’t possibly get this doubled price.

"Sorry!" Daoist Tai Wen said in a deep voice, "I absolutely will not take money from those who doubt the divine. Find someone else to solve your matters!"

After speaking, Daoist Tai Wen was about to leave.

Zhang Xingzhou immediately gestured, signaling a few subordinates to block Daoist Tai Wen’s path.

"What do you mean by this?" Daoist Tai Wen started to panic.

Zhang Xingzhou said calmly, "I advise you to stay and wait for the result."

"Are you killing the donkey when the grinding is done? If it weren’t for me stopping the evil ghost’s revenge, do you think you could still be sitting here talking to me?" Daoist Tai Wen said angrily.

Zhang Xingzhou snorted coldly and said to Daoist Tai Wen, "If there really were an evil ghost, I would probably already be dead."

As a seasoned expert in grave-robbing, Zhang Xingzhou had seen some bizarre and supernatural things, and he knew that what their family was experiencing had nothing to do with any evil ghosts.

When he saw Daoist Tai Wen start to perform rituals, both Zhang Xingzhou and Zhang Qishan began to have doubts.

Now, seeing Yang Chen targeting Daoist Tai Wen, they understood even more.

Daoist Tai Wen’s face went pale, and he was so nervous that he didn’t know what to do.

At this moment, Zhang Shaoting hung up the phone and came over, saying, "It’s clear now!"

"What did you find?" Yang Chen asked.

Zhang Shaoting glared at Daoist Tai Wen and said coldly, "They do have a disciple named Tai Wen. He is their sixteenth-generation successor, but he is a very inconspicuous person at the temple, and most importantly, this person works in the kitchen and never goes out. When I called, Tai Wen was in the kitchen preparing meals!"

Upon hearing this, Daoist Tai Wen’s legs went soft, and he collapsed to the ground completely.

Regarding Daoist Tai Wen’s actions, Zhang Shaoting was indifferent and continued, "After inquiries, the people from Wudan Mountain told me that this Tai Wen had conspired with this person outside, using Tai Wen’s name. Even if someone investigated, they would know Wudan Mountain has such a person. It can be said that the two colluded, using Wudan Mountain’s name to earn a lot of ill-gotten money, and their people clearly told me. They only study Daoism and self-cultivation, not engage in such acts."

After speaking, Zhang Shaoting looked at Daoist Tai Wen coldly, "Well, am I right?"

Gu Xijun immediately pulled out handcuffs, grabbed Daoist Tai Wen’s arm, pinned him to the ground, and cuffed him.

"It’s no longer just organizing feudal superstitious activities, but also suspected of fraud!" Gu Xijun said coldly.

Daoist Tai Wen lost all spirit, lay on the ground, neither shouting nor making a sound, like a fool.

The remaining few people were naturally also captured by the Zhang family members.

Zhang Xingzhou looked at Yang Chen and said, "Brother Yang, let’s go inside!"

Yang Chen nodded and said to Gu Xijun, "You first hand them over to them."

Gu Xijun considered for a moment and nodded, handing Daoist Tai Wen over to the Zhang family’s subordinates, asking them to keep an eye on him.

The group returned to the house.

Zhang Shaoting said depressingly, "I really didn’t expect him to be a fraud."

Zhang Qishan said in a deep voice, "Don’t blame yourself. If such matters were easily resolved, we wouldn’t have so much to fear."

Zhang Shaoting nodded, but there was still some irritation in his expression.

After sitting down in the room, Zhang Xingzhou looked at Yang Chen and asked, "Brother Yang, did you see something?"

Yang Chen waved his hand and said, "I just saw that he was a fraud."

Zhang Xingzhou seriously stared at Yang Chen without speaking.

After being stared at for a while by Zhang Xingzhou, Yang Chen felt uneasy all over and knew that Zhang Xingzhou had undoubtedly guessed something, so he no longer concealed, helplessly said, "Alright! Alright! I’ll tell you."

Zhang Xingzhou showed a delighted expression, "Many thanks to Brother Yang!"

Zhang Qishan and Zhang Shaoting also looked curiously at Yang Chen, not knowing what Yang Chen had discovered, and not understanding why Zhang Xingzhou kept pressing Yang Chen for answers.

Gu Xijun also didn’t understand what kind of trouble the Zhang family had encountered that warranted such a big commotion, inviting a Daoist for rituals, getting deceived, and now having this kind of attitude toward Yang Chen, it puzzled her.

Yang Chen thought for a moment and slowly said, "First of all, as for ghosts and gods, it’s better to believe they exist than not. I still hold reverence for these things, but definitely not like these fraudsters who can subdue them with little tricks. Moreover, what your Zhang family experienced, I think definitely isn’t because of evil spirits. Third, I’d like to introduce you to someone, Captain Gu Xijun from Beicheng Public Security Bureau, a very outstanding officer with strong investigative abilities."

"I know!" Zhang Shaoting said with a mischievous grin, looking back and forth between the two.

Back at Wei Qingzhong’s funeral, he saw some things and always thought there was something fishy between the two.

Seeing Zhang Shaoting’s ambiguous gaze, Yang Chen couldn’t help frowning, recalling the awkward scene at that time.

Gu Xijun didn’t expect Yang Chen to praise her so much, and for a moment, she felt a bit overwhelmed.

Yang Chen continued, "I called her here because if you need help with this matter, Captain Gu is an excellent choice. She will help you find out who is targeting you behind this."

Upon hearing this, Zhang Xingzhou frowned and said, "You mean someone is deliberately targeting us? That’s why this situation occurred?"

Yang Chen nodded, "If I didn’t guess wrong, that should be the case."

"This..." Zhang Xingzhou and Zhang Qishan glanced at each other with worry flashing in their eyes.

Upon hearing Yang Chen’s words, some suspects inevitably emerged in their hearts.

If it’s those people taking action, it might be possible...

"I actually have two purposes for coming here today." Yang Chen stood up and said to the three, "Firstly, I came to see if there’s anything I can help with, and if there is, I’m naturally happy to do so. So I’ve now called over Captain Gu, and I believe she will assist you very well. Right, Captain Gu?"

"Yes! Don’t worry!" Gu Xijun quickly responded.

It was the first time she was praised like this, so she was very pleased and was just short of pounding her chest to make a solemn vow.

"Then what about you, Brother Chen?" Zhang Shaoting asked.

"That’s another issue I wanted to address..." Yang Chen said.
