"Yes, I know, I killed him. The assassin who attacked us yesterday was hired by Yang Buqun."

Qin Yang said directly. He didn't need to hide anything from Ruan Xinxue.

"You killed him?"

On the other end of the phone, Ruan Xinxue paused for a moment, then said worriedly, "Qin Yang, the Yang Family has considerable influence in Huaxia. You need to be careful. If you run into any trouble, call me. I'll talk to Grandpa…"

"Yes, don't worry. It's fine."

Qin Yang nodded and smiled as he spoke.

No matter how formidable the Yang Family was, Qin Yang wasn't afraid. It's not that easy to deal with him. If pushed to the edge, he could always flee to the deep mountains and focus on cultivation. Once his power increased, he would come back and eliminate these people.

"By the way, Qin Yang, if someone from the Special Security Department contacts you, don't confront them head-on."

Ruan Xinxue seemed to suddenly remember something and said.

The Yang Family was powerful but couldn't directly command the Special Security Department. Still, Qin Yang killing a third-generation member of the Yang Family wasn't a trivial matter. If the Special Security Department got involved, things would get complicated.

"Sister Ruan, how much do you know about this Special Security Department?"

Qin Yang raised an eyebrow and asked.

Long Meiqing had previously warned Qin Yang that he might attract the attention of the Special Security Department. Now that Sister Ruan had reminded him again, it seemed like this department was indeed not to be underestimated.

"I only know it's a very powerful and mysterious national department filled with extraordinary people. Whenever ancient martial artists break the law in the Mortal Realm, they are the ones who capture them."

Ruan Xinxue said.

"Got it."

Qin Yang nodded, realizing that what Sister Ruan knew was pretty much the same as what Long Meiqing had told him.

"Little rascal, no matter what happens, no matter who your enemy is, your sister will always be on your side."

On the other end of the phone, Ruan Xinxue's gentle voice carried a hint of determination.

Hearing this, Qin Yang felt a warmth in his heart and a smile emerged on his lips.

"Alright, little rascal, I'll hang up now," Ruan Xinxue said.

"Wait a moment, Sister Ruan, you forgot something…"

Qin Yang said with a grin.

"What is it?"

Ruan Xinxue paused and asked.

"Give me a kiss…"

"…"

After hanging up the phone, Ruan Xinxue's pretty face was tinged with a blush, unable to resist Qin Yang's words, she gently kissed him over the phone.

"No way, the Yang Family certainly won't let this matter go easily, I have to tell Grandpa about it."

Sitting at the office desk, Ruan Xinxue thought for a moment, then dialed Ruan Zhengtian's number.

"Little girl, what's up, do you miss Grandpa?"

On the other side of the phone came Ruan Zhengtian's hearty laugh.

"Grandpa, I need to tell you something." Ruan Xinxue said.

"Go ahead," Ruan Zhengtian said with a smile.

At that, Ruan Xinxue recounted everything to Ruan Zhengtian, believing that given her grandfather's character, he would certainly stand by Qin Yang.

After listening to Ruan Xinxue's account, Ruan Zhengtian paused for a moment. He had already known about Yang Buqun's death and had some suspicions. He didn't expect it was actually the young doctor who did it.

"Grandpa, is this a big problem?" Ruan Xinxue asked.

"Don't worry, little girl, the young doctor will be fine. Just in time, I'm out of Immortal Orange Wine, and I heard he set up a vacation manor. I and that old drunkard will go there to take a look."

Ruan Zhengtian chuckled. Since the reason why the young doctor offended the Yang Family was largely because of his granddaughter, he naturally had to help Qin Yang.

In the Spirit Gathering Array, Qin Yang sat cross-legged, using the Supreme Yang Rune to seal the black flame at the wound again.

"For these next two days, I'll first use the Fire Spirit Fish and the Spirit Gathering Array to break through to the Peak of Intermediate Immortal Warrior. Then I'll find the right opportunity to advance to High Level Immortal Warrior. Once reaching High Level Immortal Warrior, even facing an Earth Tier expert, Qin Yang would have nothing to fear."

With a plan in mind, Qin Yang's fingers glowed, sending light flowing into the river surrounding the Spirit Gathering Array.

Pop! Pop! Pop!

The Fire Spirit Fish in the river began to emit spiritual energy, and the Spirit Gathering Array activated, drawing that energy towards Qin Yang.

Qin Yang closed his eyes, started circulating the Nine Revolutions Star Technique, and entered a state of cultivation.

Three days passed in the blink of an eye.

During these three days, Yunshui City remained under lockdown, with armed police and military stationed at major traffic routes, train stations, and bus stations.

The ordinary citizens only knew that a murder case had occurred in Yunshui City, but they weren't clear on the specifics. Nevertheless, it became a hot topic of discussion among locals.

Inside a spacious and bright office in the City Hall.

"Vice Mayor Yang, according to our investigation, after the suspect left the hospital, he got into a taxi. The taxi drove to a narrow alley where the suspect got out. That area is quite remote, and there are no cameras. I had people question the nearby residents one by one, but no one knew where the suspect went."

Cai Jiang's face didn't look good either. His eyes were sunken, clearly drained from the past three days.

"Have you identified the suspect?"

Yang Jianye frowned deeply.

"We've focused on comparing data from individuals with criminal records in the police system, but found nothing. The person isn't someone we know from either domestic or international circles."

Cai Jiang sighed and said.

"How can there be nothing? We have the suspect's appearance, three days have passed, why haven't we found any information?!"

Yang Jianye's expression darkened.

"I apologize, Vice Mayor Yang. In the last three days, we have dispatched all available police force, with personnel at every intersection. Yet the suspect seems to have vanished without a trace, and so far, we haven't obtained any useful clues."

Cai Jiang said helplessly.

"Could the suspect have already escaped from Yunshui City?"

Hearing this, Yang Jianye's face turned even uglier, and he immediately asked.

"That possibility can't be ruled out. However, I have already requested the Ministry of Public Security to list the suspect as an A-level wanted criminal."

Cai Jiang thought for a moment and had to say, if the suspect was still hiding in Yunshui City, with such a tight security net, it's impossible that there weren't any leads.

Bam!

Yang Jianye paced back and forth in front of the solid wood table, suddenly grabbing a cup and smashing it hard on the ground, shattering it into pieces, as if only this way could slightly vent the anger in his heart.

"Three days, and there isn't a single clue!"

Yang Jianye's expression was so grim it seemed like water could drip from it. Where could that murderer be hiding, and how long could he remain hidden?!

"Investigate, keep investigating. Even if you have to search three feet underground, find that suspect!"

Yang Jianye shouted almost as an order.

"Yes!"

Cai Jiang responded. He was from Yang Jianye's faction, so naturally he would follow Yang Jianye's instructions, especially since the deceased was Yang Jianye's son.

"That Qin Yang, bring him in under the pretense of assisting the investigation immediately, and make him talk within 24 hours. If he resists, shoot him on the spot!"

A cold gleam flashed in Yang Jianye's eyes, and he said icily. This matter surely had something to do with that kid.
