Chapter 78 The Same Old Trick

Chapter 78 The Same Old Trick

A conference room.

Lu Yuan and Tang Yue were both escorted back and are currently being monitored by palace guards.

At this moment, Zhu Meng, Tang Zhong, and others arrived and all looked at the two of them.

"Tang Yue, do you know what you've done? You've caused so many people to lose their lives for an ancient tradition?" Zhu Meng questioned.

Tang Yue had wavered when faced with similar questions before, but after Lu Yuan told her the truth, she knew that Xuan She was right.

Those people are the ones who are wrong!

Tang Yue said, "It wouldn't do such a thing."

"Can't do it?" Zhu Meng almost laughed in anger. "The evidence is right in front of you, what don't you believe?"

"Couldn't those pieces of evidence have been fabricated?" Tang Yue retorted directly.

"Man-made?"

Zhu Meng didn't care at all; he only cared about the safety of Hangzhou.

"Hangzhou is facing internal and external troubles. If you do this, how can you face the people of Hangzhou?"

Tang Yue remained silent.

Zhu Meng said sternly, "Tell us its location, and don't make the same mistake again."

Tang Yue countered, "Then what if it wasn't it that did it?"

"If he didn't do it, I'll kowtow to him ten times!" Zhu Meng said domineeringly.

"I will prove it, but not now," Tang Yue said.

"Think about it carefully. How many lives are in your hands right now? I hope you can wake up." Zhu Meng finished speaking and slammed the door shut as he left.

Tang Zhong sighed. This was not what he wanted to see, but there was really nothing he could do about it.

At this moment, a cool and aloof older woman walked towards Lu Yuan opposite her and said calmly, "There has been progress on Lingling's side. This matter is very complicated, but we have already locked onto our target."

Lu Yuan nodded. "Approximately when can this be resolved?"

Leng Qing's eyes flashed, and she said coldly, "We are still gathering evidence. In the end, none of them will be able to escape."

With Lu Yuan's guidance, they collected evidence ahead of the original plot, which allowed them to catch the enemy off guard.

"It seems you've made progress on your end." Tang Zhong was also pleased to hear this good news.

Since Leng Qing had said that, Tang Yue knew that Xuan She must not have done it.

"Give them two more days. Before they find out, we can gather more evidence," Leng Qing said.

Tang Zhong nodded. "I'll leave this matter to you."

"Actually, before this, I discovered a problem," Lu Yuan admitted.

Everyone looked over.

Lu Yuan explained, "Actually, I discovered this while monitoring Lu Zhiyong's faction."

"Before, I discovered that they were collecting a plant called Eagle Red Grass. Later, I also asked Lingling if there was Eagle Red Grass in the blood, but I didn't find it."

Lu Yuan continued, "See if you can investigate whether there is any connection between this Eagle Red Grass and the plague."

After exchanging a glance, Tang Zhong and Leng Qing decided to give it a shot and investigate, as a last resort.

"Leng Qing, have Mr. Lu look into this matter," Tang Zhong instructed.

"I'll go right away."

Seeing Leng Qing leave, Tang Zhong looked at Lu Yuan and Tang Yue, "You two stay here for now. If you need anything, have someone pass on a message to me."

With that, they all left to do other things.

With the plague raging and people filled with fear, and with powerful enemies coming from outside, the whole of Hangzhou is no longer safe.

After everyone left, Tang Yue turned around and said, "Lu Yuan, thank you."

Lu Yuan said, "Didn't I owe you a favor? Now we're even."

Tang Yue nodded with a smile.

……

However, not long after, Leng Qing and Tang Zhong returned to the conference room.

"Lu Yuan, this Eagle Red Grass really is related to the plague!" Leng Qing exclaimed excitedly.

"Mr. Deer says that eagle-red grass can cure the plague!"

Tang Zhong then asked, "Lu Yuan, do you know where they put that batch of Eagle Red Grass?"

Lu Yuan replied, "They have already destroyed it."

Upon hearing this, both Tang Zhong and Leng Qing showed a hint of unease on their faces.

Eagle Red Grass grows in Xiling, but Xiling is now full of demons, making it impossible to get close.

Moreover, they also killed all the flying beasts, making it impossible for ordinary people to pass through.

If high-level or super-level mages were to go, they would be targeted by Ma Chao's powerful demons, and it would likely all be for naught.

"I had someone buy some Eagle Red Grass." Lu Yuan's words brought them hope.

Lu Yuan asked, "Grandpa Tang, you haven't told anyone else about this, have you?"

"No, we had Mr. Lu study it secretly," Tang Zhong said, shaking his head.

"That's good." Lu Yuan was afraid of alerting the enemy.

"The Eagle Red Grass is right here." He handed the Eagle Red Grass to Leng Qing in front of him.

"Great! With Eagle Red Grass, they're all saved." Tang Zhong's face broke into a long-lost smile.

"Leng Qing, quickly get Mr. Lu to develop the reagent. Remember to keep this a secret for now, and don't let anyone else know."

"I know." Leng Qing also knew that she couldn't alert the enemy, after all, she was still collecting evidence.

After they left, Tang Yue happily hugged Lu Yuan, laughing like a little child.

"Lu Yuan, thank you!"

In this way, the totem snake is innocent, and the plague was not brought by it.

Lu Yuan lowered his head, looked at the ferocious creature that was about to deform, and smiled and nodded.

Tang Yue realized what was happening, her cheeks flushed slightly, she let go of her hand and turned around without saying anything more.

Just then, Lingling called him.

"Lu Yuan, I have obtained information about the key figure, but to find out who is behind it, we have to get it out of him."

Lu Yuan understood that this person was clearly someone who had hidden himself too well, making it impossible to find him.

"Still not working?" Lu Yuan sighed inwardly, thinking that this would be enough to expose them all.

It seems...

We still have to use the old methods.

As he spoke, Lu Yuan asked Lingling to contact Leng Qing and then told her about the plan.

"What you're doing is too dangerous," Leng Qing disagreed.

Lu Yuan said, "He's hiding it too well. The only way to convict him is through this method."

Now that he's gone this far, he should have all those cavities pulled out.

Otherwise, Lu Yuan was afraid that the other party would turn around and bite him.

"I have a trump card; he can't hurt me," Lu Yuan said firmly.

Leng Qing hesitated. Lingling had just told her that if they wanted to find them, someone had to make a sacrifice.

"He is a super-level mage..." Leng Qing emphasized again.

Lu Yuan laughed and said, "I wouldn't joke about my life. Aren't you all going to be there too?"

After pondering for a moment, Leng Qing said, "We need to discuss this matter."

"OK."

Lu Yuan nodded.

After a short while, Leng Qing and Tang Zhong contacted Dean Xiao, since Lu Yuan was his student.

Dean Xiao said, "Since he wants to do it, then let him do it. I have faith in my student."
