Chapter 408: Chapter 407, An Existence as Cunning as a Demon

Because of the low tide, there were indeed a lot of stranded seafood on the beach, mostly crabs and small fish.

However, the places with seafood were all covered with slippery rocks, so ordinary people were really hesitant to come here to collect seafood.

But for Xu Wendong, it was as easy as walking on flat ground. He gathered some seafood and then followed Ye Qingxin to the observation deck.

He casually placed a few blue crabs on the stove to roast, and at the same time went to the car to draw an amulet using a wolf-hair brush, cinnabar, and talisman paper.

After all, the Su Residence would soon deliver the medicinal materials he needed.

And he needed to give the other party an amulet.

Because he had experience in drawing amulets, this time he completed it in one go, successfully creating an amulet. Then he sat on the folding chair, eating crabs and drinking tea, feeling quite at ease.

At the same time.

Shaanxi Province.

Qian Duoduo rushed into the villa’s backyard in a panic, saying to Qian Wantian, "Dad, I know who killed Nie Yunchuan."

Qian Wantian was over sixty years old, but because he had stepped into the Great Grandmaster Realm, he looked just over forty.

He had short hair and sword-like eyebrows with a gaze like stars. His whole demeanor radiated an imposing aura without being angry.

He was one of the renowned six Great Grandmasters in the martial arts world.

By a stroke of luck, he obtained a body refining technique, broke through the layers of shackles, and became one of the top six combat powerhouses in the martial arts world.

"You know who killed Nie Yunchuan?" Qian Wantian asked curiously.

He had just learned about Nie Yunchuan’s murder.

Upon hearing it, he felt very shocked.

After all, Nie Yunchuan’s strength was second only to the six Great Grandmasters. However, the six Great Grandmasters wouldn’t lower themselves to kill a Grandmaster-level expert.

Let alone Nie Yunchuan’s master being Ye Gucheng, the number one martial artist in the martial arts world.

"Xu Wendong, yes, it must be him!" Qian Duoduo said, "Xu Wendong attended the Su Residence’s auction, but throughout the auction, he didn’t bid at all. Don’t you find this quite incredible?"

Qian Wantian nodded slightly, "It does seem somewhat unreasonable, but we can’t conclude that Xu Wendong killed Nie Yunchuan based on this!"

Qian Duoduo continued, "Dad, do you think it’s possible that Xu Wendong went to the Su Residence with a purpose, but because of financial constraints, he had to forgo bidding?"

Qian Wantian nodded, "It’s not impossible."

"So, here’s the question," Qian Duoduo said excitedly, "Without spending money, how could he get the item he wanted?"

"After all, the alchemy furnace that Nie Yunchuan purchased had also disappeared, which clearly seems to be a targeted action."

Qian Wantian frowned, feeling that his son’s analysis was very reasonable.

Qian Duoduo continued, "And the most important point."

"When I got into Xu Wendong’s car, he once sighed that he used to track others, but now he is being tracked himself."

"Dad, do you think the person he was tracking could be Nie Yunchuan?"

Qian Wantian shook his head disapprovingly, "What you say makes sense, and Xu Wendong is indeed highly suspicious. However, Nie Yunchuan’s strength was second only to the six Great Grandmasters."

"Frankly speaking, even if I wanted to defeat him, it would take about ten moves."

Qian Duoduo said, "I really don’t know Xu Wendong’s strength, because he gave me the impression of being an ordinary person. But his demeanor was very profound, as if he had everything under control."

"And there’s one more thing."

"Why was Xu Wendong able to sit in the front row at the Su Residence?"

"Why could he keep pace with the people of the six Great Grandmasters?"

"Why did an amulet suddenly appear at the Su Residence auction?"

"Isn’t the amulet worth more than the alchemy furnace?"

"Logically, when two Taoist Sect items appear at the same time, the more valuable one should be the one attracting customers."

The reason Qian Duoduo was favored wasn’t just that his father had him late in life, but mainly because he had exceptional wisdom.

A bright light flashed in Qian Wantian’s eyes, "Are you saying that the appearance of the amulet is related to Xu Wendong?"

Qian Duoduo replied, "The amulet is a Taoist thing."

"The alchemy furnace is also a Taoist thing."

"This could fully connect the dots."

"Dad, there’s one more thing you might not believe."

"The cinnabar on the amulet I obtained seemed like it was just drawn on."

"You wouldn’t want to say that the amulet was drawn by Xu Wendong, would you?" Although Qian Wantian was one of the six Great Grandmasters, he couldn’t help but get goosebumps hearing this.

Qian Duoduo managed a smile, "I don’t know if it is, but I always feel that Xu Wendong is no ordinary person. We could entirely establish good relations with him."

Qian Wantian couldn’t calm his heart. If Xu Wendong was truly a member of the Taoist Sect, maybe he had the chance to help him break through his own shackles.

Thinking of this, Qian Wantian said excitedly, "Son, maintaining a good relationship with Xu Wendong is up to you, as this concerns the future of our Qian Family!"

"Dad, I know what to do," Qian Duoduo chuckled softly, "just... I’ll need some power, the full control of the group!"

Actually, Qian Duoduo did have some control over the group, but his power wasn’t very significant. Now, he planned to invest in Lianyun County, knowing that Xu Wendong worked there.

Qian Wantian felt a bit of a headache, "Son, do you know why I haven’t given you the control of the group?"

Qian Duoduo pursed his lips, "Isn’t it just because you’re afraid I’ll fail at investing and lose all the assets?"

Qian Wantian laughed, "That’s right. I’m not afraid of you spending money recklessly, even if it’s tens of billions a year, which is insignificant for our family."

"But investment is different, as being slightly careless could lead to irreparable disaster."

"However, since you have an idea, I will give you enough power, hoping you won’t disappoint me!" He said and picked up the phone to call the company’s executives, transferring the control of the company to his son.

To him, as long as they could establish a relationship with Xu Wendong, as long as everything his son said was true, it would be worth it even if the company went bankrupt.

Lianyun County.

Bai Lu found the head of the investment promotion bureau, Ma Chengwen, and informed him that Ye Qingxin intended to build a port in Lianyun County.

After all, Ma Chengwen was her direct superior, and such matters must first be discussed with him.

Ma Chengwen felt incredible upon hearing this, not expecting that someone would be willing to invest a huge amount to build a large port here. If this could be accomplished, it would undoubtedly change the current investment environment in Lianyun County and also show people the county’s future prospects.

Of course, to him, it would also be a significant achievement in his political career.

After regaining his composure, Ma Chengwen immediately said, "Chief Bai, I am already aware of this matter. I will now go to the county government to report it to Secretary Liu and County Chief Meng. You can go back and rest for now!"

Bai Lu showed a surprised look. Why should I rest when I was the one who contacted the investor?

Are you perhaps trying to seize my achievement?
