Chapter 572: Unreasonable [Two in One]

Qi Lie and Han Baiji waited at the door, "Captain Fang, what's the situation?"

"There's absolutely no clue from this fugitive's direction."

The two men's faces turned pale, "What should we do then?"

"Finding clues is your business at Zhen Shou Dadian. Without evidence, you can't convict anyone, and it's up to you."

Fang Che coldly said, "This rule doesn't apply to me!"

"Order the summoning of Lin Ao, the young master of the Lin family, to Zhen Shou Dadian! Tell them that the Life and Death Command wants to understand the situation!"

Fang Che made an unreasonable decision.

He directly and forcefully intervened.

"The Lin family is a meritorious family..."

Qi Lie hesitated, "Captain Fang, this will affect your reputation..."

"It's fine, just summon him. No matter what, we must break through this case."

Fang Che said, "In fact, you all know that Ju Xiushui's death was definitely caused by the Lin family!"

Qi Lie and Han Baiji sighed simultaneously and lowered their heads.

Yes, they firmly believed this in their hearts! Moreover, apart from the Lin family, none of Ju Xiushui's other opponents or enemies had such capabilities.

And many things had already changed over the years.

Just as Fang Che said: this was the Lin family's doing!

But it was done exceptionally cleanly.

No evidence was left behind.

"So, if there's no evidence, then we don't need evidence. Let's handle the case directly!"

Fang Che signed a warrant, "Go and summon him!"

His eyes held an inexplicable expression. He knew that this summons would never bring Lin Ao, who had cultivated demonic powers to the point of madness, biting people on the streets, to Zhen Shou Dadian.

An hour later.

Fang Che was waiting at Zhen Shou Dadian.

"Captain Fang, the Lin family's butler and the third uncle of the Lin family are here."

"Who are they?"

"Lin Bai, the third younger brother of the Lin family's patriarch."

"We summoned Lin Ao, has he come?"

"No..."

"I won't see him! With my warrant, go to the Lin family and arrest Lin Ao!"

Fang Che directly gave the order.

Just then, a voice laughed, "Captain Fang, indeed, you have great authority and killing intent."

Following the voice, a figure was about to step into the hall.

"Who allowed you to come in..."

Han Baiji went to stop him, but the man dodged, and with a bang, he struck Han Baiji's palm.

Then, he floated and landed in the hall, facing Fang Che with a smile, "This is Captain Fang? I..."

Fang Che's face turned frosty, and he slammed the table, shouting, "This is outrageous! Who dares to intrude into Zhen Shou Dadian and even dares to strike the hall's master, Han Tangzhu! Capture him!"

With a boom, Dong Yunyu and Ge Jing Shuanggao rushed forward together!

The four Jun-level geniuses attacked simultaneously.

A loud boom echoed.

The Lin family's third uncle, who only had Huang-level cultivation, was immediately subdued and pinned to the ground.

Bang!

Crack! Crack!

Both his legs and arms shattered simultaneously, and blood sprayed from his mouth as he screamed in rage, "Fang Che! You..."

He never expected that as a descendant of a meritorious family, his previous visits to Zhen Shou Dadian had always been casual, and he had always been polite, even bringing gifts. Yet, this time, the outcome was so different.

Bang! Dong Yunyu kicked his chin, and with a crack, his jaw dislocated, causing several teeth to fall to the ground.

Blood flowed from Lin Bai's mouth, and he couldn't speak, only glaring at Fang Che with hatred in his eyes.

"Capture the assassin, interrogate him severely, and use torture if necessary to find out who sent him! Under the bright sky, he dares to come to Zhen Shou Dadian to assassinate the guardian!"

Fang Che floated out and stood in front of Lin Bai, pressing down on the Lin family's third uncle's head and forcefully slamming him to the ground. At the same time, the power of Wuliang Zhenjing surged into his body.

Soon.

At the heart pulse.

Something was amiss.

Wu Ling Gu! Fang Che's eyes flashed, and he understood.

With a forceful push, the Lin family's third uncle's head made contact with the ground.

Bang!

A large bump formed on his forehead.

"Lock him up!"

After a scan, the presence of Wu Ling Gu made everything clear to Fang Che.

However, he still couldn't reveal this information.

The ability to detect Wu Ling Gu was a closely guarded secret.

No one could know, and under no circumstances could this secret be leaked!

Not even Xue Fuxiao, Ning Xue Jian, or anyone else could do this. The only way they could identify Wu Ling Gu was by opening the chest of a dead member of the Only Righteous Sect and seeing the missing heart pulse segment.

Only then could it be confirmed.

In the entire world, only Fang Che could detect the presence of Wu Ling Gu in a living person.

Although he couldn't reveal this,

his determination to deal with the Lin family was absolute! Even if their ancestors had outstanding merits, this time, the Lin family would face consequences.

Outside, the old butler was smiling as he followed the third uncle in, but as soon as he entered, he saw the third uncle being brutally subdued and arrested.

A good person was instantly reduced to a bloody mess.

With their heart and courage shattered, they let out a startled cry and fled in panic.

"Take them down!"

Fang Che's voice was stern.

A loud boom echoed as a chain hammer flew through the air, striking the Lin Family's steward and causing him to spit out fresh blood. He was knocked back several zhang and fell to the ground, convulsing and vomiting blood.

"Issue a statement, questioning the head of the Lin Family. I summoned Lin Ao, why did two unrelated people come instead? And they even dared to attack the Palace Guardian in the Zhen Shou Dadian! This is truly lawless!"

Fang Che's voice and expression were equally stern, "Make sure the Lin Family gives me an explanation!"

"First, capture these two assassins and guard them strictly!"

Fang Che's unreasonable actions did provide some relief.

However, in the eyes of the experienced and knowledgeable Qi Lie, Han Baiji, and others who were unaware of the situation, his actions seemed too impulsive.

They understood that Fang Che wanted to avenge Ju Xiushui, and they knew he had the Life and Death Command.

But... you can't be completely unreasonable.

After all, they were descendants of a meritorious family, a family of honor.

Although they hadn't made any new contributions in recent years, their ancestors had sacrificed for the continent. Shouldn't they be given some face?

If everyone were to act so unreasonably and seek revenge, what would this world become? If this were allowed, why would we need you, Fang Inspector, to seek revenge? We could just go and kill whoever we have a grudge against!

Han Baiji was worried that Fang Che might make a mistake, so he pulled him aside and whispered, "Inspector Fang, I know you want to avenge Xiushui, but... but this is indeed a bit reckless."

His face was filled with concern.

The Palace Guardian had finally obtained the Life and Death Command, allowing him to deal with evil people without hesitation. Although Han Baiji desperately wanted to avenge Ju Xiushui, he didn't want Fang Che to get into trouble over such a minor matter.

If the Lin Family were to appeal for justice and numerous meritorious families were to collectively rise up in anger, this matter would become a big issue. At that time, Fang Che might not be able to protect himself.

That would be a real pity.

Fang Che whispered back, "Hall Master Han, rest assured, I have my reasons. Moreover, there's an inside story to this... The reason Chief Clerk Ju was killed is because she discovered many things about the Lin Family... But I can't tell you the specifics right now."

Fang Che couldn't explain the source of his intelligence information.

So, he simply shifted the credit to the late Ju Xiushui, who had passed away.

This was the only thing he could do for her, aside from seeking revenge.

Moreover, Fang Che genuinely believed that Ju Xiushui must have discovered something. Otherwise, the brief conflict at the restaurant entrance wouldn't have led the Lin Family to take such a risky move against the Palace Guardian. Fang Che was familiar with the position of Chief Clerk, having held it in White Cloud Continent.

He knew the value of the Chief Clerk's position.

Additionally, Ju Xiushui had insisted on investigating the Lin Family before her death, and at that time, the Lin Family was still a meritorious family, a family of honor.

Why was Ju Xiushui so determined to investigate them?

There had to be a reason for this!

Therefore, Fang Che believed that attributing this credit to Ju Xiushui was not only something he should do, but even if Ju Xiushui's spirit were to know, she wouldn't feel that she didn't deserve it.

Upon hearing Fang Che's explanation, Han Baiji suddenly realized the truth.

He repeatedly stomped his feet and sighed, "This foolish girl, why didn't she tell me what she found? Since there's a reason, I must stay by her side and ensure her safety... Alas! This girl is too stubborn..."

As he spoke, his eyes turned red.

Fang Che sighed, "It's just a guess, without solid evidence. How could she report it to you?"

Han Baiji sighed repeatedly, feeling as if his throat were blocked.

"It's because I was close to her lover, Zuo Guanglie, that I understood their secret language and discovered a clue in Ju Xiushui's belongings... Otherwise, I would have been kept in the dark as well."

He said solemnly, "When the matter is settled, we will need you, my old superior, to come forward and evaluate Ju Xiushui's achievements. I'm not in a position to do these things."

With these words, Fang Che completely distanced himself from the matter.

Moreover, he passed the task to Han Baiji.

"That's right! Rest assured, I'll take care of this matter!"

Han Baiji sighed with tears in his eyes, "No matter what, I will strive to ensure a proper burial for this girl!"

His demeanor seemed to age significantly.

He muttered to himself, "Silly girl... silly girl... Why didn't you tell me about such a big matter?"

Fang Che made a request, "Regarding her burial with my brother Zuo, I wonder if Hall Master Han could..."

After seeing the painting in Ju Xiushui's residence, Fang Che felt even more compelled to fulfill this wish.

Han Baiji's mood sank, and he sighed with a trembling voice, "Initially, Xiushui's mood changed, and she became depressed. After investigating, I learned about her relationship with Zuo Guanglie. Ever since Zuo Guanglie's death, Xiushui rarely smiled..."

"After returning from her visit to White Cloud Continent, she became a completely different person. This girl is foolish, stubborn, and once she sets her heart on someone, she won't change for life. Since they loved each other, as an elder, I should do my best to fulfill their wishes.

He looked at Fang Che and asked seriously, "How was your brother, Zuo Guanglie, in life? I don't want Xiushui to be bullied by him even in the netherworld..."

Fang Che replied, "Zuo Guanglie's character is well-known in the Zhen Shou Dadian of White Cloud Continent. Moreover... his cultivation is not as high as Ju Xiushui's. I reckon if they were to have a fight, Zuo Guanglie would definitely be the one getting beaten."

Han Baiji nodded, somewhat relieved, and said, "That makes me feel better."

Although the conversation had a touch of humor, no one could laugh when it came to Zuo Guanglie and Ju Xiushui, the unfortunate couple.

The entire conversation was solemn.

Han Baiji sighed a few times, and finally, with a hobbled gait, he went to his battle hall to attend to his duties.

This old man, who had dedicated his life to the Zhen Shou Dadian, was still a towering figure, fierce and fiery, with a full beard, exuding immense dignity.

But ever since Ju Xiushui's death in the line of duty, the old man seemed to have aged instantly.

Even his walk was now slow and feeble.

Qi Lie noticed Fang Che's gaze following Han Baiji's back and sighed softly, "Han Baiji's parents, wife, son, daughter-in-law, and grandson... they were all martial artists, all serving in various Zhen Shou Dadians, but they all died in battle long ago... Last year, countless young disciples of the Only Righteous Sect went to the Southeast for training, and Han Baiji's only remaining grandson died in White Apricot Continent during that time..."

"His entire family... has already been sacrificed!"

"Only he remains... He always treated Ju Xiushui like his own daughter... Now, Xiushui is gone too..."

Qi Lie's expression revealed boundless sorrow and sighs.

Fang Che was also stunned.

When he looked again, Han Baiji's figure was already out of sight.

He couldn't help but fall into a deep silence.

"Truly... this world... this era..."

Fang Che sighed softly.

"Men like Han Baiji... there are four more in the Zhen Shou Dadian of White Elephant Continent. They are all old fellows, and even if they were offered promotions, they all refused... They have stayed in the Zhen Shou Dadian of White Elephant Continent all along."

Qi Lie said, "If there's no need, they don't even go home... After all, even if they did, there would be no family left..."

"These old guys, I understand them clearly... They just want to keep fighting in the Zhen Shou Dadian, fighting until the day they die. Truly unburdened..."

Qi Lie chuckled, "Captain Fang, do you think... when will such days come to an end?"

"..."

Fang Che was speechless.

Because... no one knows when such days will end. Even if the Only Righteous Sect were to disappear, the life in the Zhen Shou Dadian would continue.

Such families of loyal heroes would still exist and keep appearing.

"Palace Guardian Qi, are you also from White Elephant Continent? You could invite these old brothers to your home for gatherings. It would be some comfort."

Fang Che suggested, his voice pale.

"My home?"

Qi Lie smiled bitterly, "I... don't have a home either. I... am like Han Baiji."

He laughed self-mockingly, "Just the same... hehe, hehe..."

Fang Che's heart skipped a beat.

Suddenly, he felt his eyes moisten.

Dong Yunyu said from the side, "You could take another concubine... at least you wouldn't be alone."

Fang Che frowned, about to reprimand.

That was... a bit frivolous.

But Qi Lie didn't take offense, and laughed bitterly, "I had one many years ago, but we didn't share the same ideals, and our lifespans were different. What good is beauty if it only brings more sorrow of parting and death? Over time... I just let it go."

He spoke these words very calmly.

After he finished, he laughed and walked away with a light step.

"Every night, as long as we five or six are all here, we drink. Are you coming tonight?" Qi Lie had many things he couldn't say in the Zhen Shou Dadian, and he genuinely wanted to give Fang Che and his team a heads-up and some advice. So he extended the invitation.

Fang Che felt a warm surge in his heart and said, "We'll come! All eight of us will come!"

Qi Lie laughed as he walked, "I'll prepare more then. I didn't expect it to be lively tonight..."

Han Baiji came over and showed concern about Fang Che's actions.

But Qi Lie didn't even ask.

He had complete trust in Fang Che.

After the incident in Biyue City, he talked with Song Yidao for a long time and learned a lot about Fang Che, naturally understanding that this Captain Fang was not a rash person.

If he did something, there must be a reason.

Since that was the case, he would just wait patiently.

He quickened his pace and hurried off to inform the old brothers that they would be drinking tonight, and Fang Che and his team would also be there.

You old bachelors, don't put on those disgusting faces of sighing and lamenting, trying to elicit sympathy. It's very unpleasant.

We all fought our entire lives for our cause. Why must we see others' pity?

"Let's show them our carefree spirit and youth!

We can still fight!

By the afternoon, Fang Che had issued his orders, and it was already close to nightfall.

The Lin family had not come to give an 'explanation', perhaps they were discussing countermeasures.

Or perhaps they were waiting for the right moment.

And Fang Che, who had previously been so decisive and swift, now seemed to have changed, no longer in a rush to uproot the Lin family.

He didn't even ask.

Moreover, after the shift change that day, he actually gave everyone the night off.

'Everyone has been working hard these past few days, so today we'll all take a break. But everyone must be vigilant, and from tomorrow onwards... things will get even busier.'

Fang Che, who was on duty in the Zhen Shou Dadian, ordered a batch of Spirit Energy food and had it delivered to the hall.

'Since we're going to work hard and risk our lives, we might as well eat and drink well!'

Everyone's enthusiasm rose instantly.

'Captain Fang, why aren't you in a hurry about the Lin family's orders?'

Someone asked playfully.

Due to the matter of Ju Xiushui, everyone in the Zhen Shou Dadian was feeling particularly satisfied with Captain Fang's unreasonable handling of the Lin family that afternoon. In their hearts, they felt a sense of relief.

You feel like there's no evidence? You're bullying us? So now that you're truly bullying us, are you enjoying it? Even if you claim that you attacked the Zhen Shou Zhe, do you have the nerve? We have no evidence against you for killing Ju Xiushui, but today, you attacked the Zhen Shou Zhe, and there are witnesses!

So everyone is less worried than Han Baiji and the others. There are even a few old guys who have secretly warned: Captain Fang is taking revenge for Zong Zhi Shi! This matter, everyone must keep it in mind.

We can't even avenge Zong Zhi Shi, and we're already ashamed. If we further hinder them and delay matters... then we're worse than pigs and dogs!

Today's matter, whoever dares to speak of it, don't blame the brothers for being ruthless.

From now on, don't even think about mixing with the brothers!

Currently, everyone feels close to Fang Che, even though they don't say it aloud.

Seeing Fang Che treating everyone to a meal, they immediately started joking around.

Fang Che smiled and said, 'The bow is drawn, and the arrow is nocked. The prey is right there, and it can't escape. Since it's like this, what's the harm in playing a little longer?'

'Moreover, we should give the Lin family some time to seek reinforcements or connections.'

Fang Che scolded, 'You guys need to be more flexible in the future. How can you be so unfeeling? Directly eliminating them all would be satisfying, but what about the accomplices outside, the masterminds, and the other hidden figures?'

'Understood... understood, hahaha...'

The group burst into laughter.

Fang Che raised a cup, 'After this cup, you guys continue working overtime. I'll go and butter up those old guys.'

'Good!'

Everyone agreed.

Mo Gaiyun, Yu Zhongge, and the others raised their cups simultaneously in the eight directions of the hall.

They drank in one go.

Watching the eight tall figures walk out, those on duty in the Zhen Shou Dadian looked on with deep respect and admiration.

Even a sense of security arose within them.

'This is the genius of our Shou Hu Zhe Dalu!'

One person sighed, 'Suddenly, I feel at ease and safe. Do you understand this feeling... it's like... it's like...'

He scratched his head, his face contorted as he searched for the right words, 'It's like... even though I might die in battle at any moment, and the enemies in this world are still so powerful, but I feel secure. Do you understand?'

He thought his words would be hard for others to comprehend, so he looked at them expectantly, wanting to explain.

But to his surprise, everyone who heard him nodded deeply in agreement.

'Yes, I feel the same way.'

'Because... we have this group of people who, even if they disregard rules and lack evidence, will still stand up for us and seek justice!'

Someone sighed softly, raising their cup, 'This cup is to Zong Zhi Shi!'

Everyone raised their cups simultaneously, their expressions solemn.

'Zong Zhi Shi's affairs after death need not be a concern. Even in the netherworld, do not rest. If one day we brothers pass on... we will continue to fight under your command.'

'Captain Fang will seek justice for you, Zong Zhi Shi, and we are absolutely confident about this!'

The liquor was poured onto the ground.

It was spilled in front of Ju Xiushui's former desk.

The group of men paused, then shouted together, 'Let's have another cup!'

'Zong Zhi Shi, now we're even less afraid of death. Do you believe it?'

'In this world, there is indeed filth and scheming, but there are also those with iron will and a heart of gold! These are the words you often said. Cheers to you!'

'Absolutely!'
