If Ling Yun’s deductions were right, the deceased Wang Lei must be the one who killed his useless predecessor with the Steyr that night. If he had died on the same night, there was no doubt that the mastermind involved destroyed the evidence.
Ling Yun instructed Tang Meng and Tie Xiaohu to find out everything about Wang Lei at all cost!
Ling Yun was now the unofficial king of Qingshui City. He had a handle on both the black and white forces, which made it very easy to investigate someone like that.
Ling Yun was therefore not in a hurry. He continued watching the television with a mysterious smile, paying attention to any further development of the situation.
Only one family member arrived at the scene — his wife. She was about thirty years old and possessed a plain face and body. She was dressed very fashionably, however, which was a huge contrast.



It seems like Wang Lei received a lot of money for the job. He probably never dreamt that he would need to exchange it with his life…
Ling Yun sneered.
That woman was howling in sorrow on the television. Ling Yun didn’t pity her. The enemy’s wife wasn’t worthy of any pity.
Ling Yun had finally confirmed that his predecessor was indeed deliberately murdered!
The first wave was Wang Lei, then came Li Yi and Jiao Fei. Xuan Qi and Xuan Jiu were the third wave, Di Ba was the fourth, and the three Heaven-ranked killers were the fifth!
Of course, Wang Lei’s first attempt was successful, but they didn’t account for this Ling Yun substituting for the dead one and being reborn!
Who on earth was it that wanted him dead so desperately?
A useless fatss less than twenty years of age with his Yang Heel Meridian destroyed. Why would he have such a persistent enemy?
Moreover, the assassins that were sent for him obviously didn’t know about his destroyed Yang Heel Meridian. Ling Yun could easily infer that someone else destroyed it!

Brother, you… oh, no, it’s me. Who hates me so much to send so many highly skilled assassins? I would have been slaughtered if I didn’t cultivate at such speed!

Ling Yun mocked himself, his eyes burning with rage. His Yin-Yang Eye reappeared!


Ling Yun was able to kill someone like Sun Tianbiao at Xiantian Realm Level One with ease when he was at the mid-stage of Physique Tempering Stage Five. Now that he had attained Physique Tempering Stage Six, his strength had doubled. He was confident that if he met someone like Sun Tianbiao once again, he would be able to kill him with his bare hands!
Ling Yun was now able to protect himself and was therefore at ease.
The news was replaced quickly by irrelevant news. Ling Yun continued staring at the screen, wondering how to get to the mastermind.
Wang Lei must have gotten a huge sum of money. He should start from there!
Ling Yun gave the boring television program no more thought as he waited patiently for Kong Xiuru to be done with the meal. Great dishes filled the whole table!

Wow, the dishes are colorful, aromatic, and tasty. Your cooking is better than the great chefs of Qingshui! I worked so hard to slim down to become so handsome. Are you intentionally trying to fatten me up?

Ling Yun deliberately jested so that Kong Xiuru wouldn’t be able to sense his current state of mind.
Kong Xiuru was proud that she obtained the praise of her beloved Ling Yun. Her face, however, reflected the opposite of what she was feeling.
I used to ask you to come over for private tutoring. You would always promise to come but never appeared. I don’t understand you. Why would you hide your talents even though you are such an outstanding individual and only choose to reveal them when you are about to graduate? You are really evil!

Kong Xiuru’s beautiful eyes were fixated upon Ling Yun, obviously asking him to explain himself.
Kong Xiuru was smart. Ling Yun’s performance before and after was too stark, anyone would be perplexed.


Kong Xiuru accepted Ling Yun’s drastic change very quickly, but she couldn’t understand it. If Ling Yun didn’t want to talk about it, she wouldn’t press it.
Ling Yun knew that Kong Xiuru was testing the water. He smiled and tried to explain casually.
Teacher Kong, I have been busy cultivating the past few years. You might be as gentle and considerate as a fairy, but my master is fearsome. He would attack you out of nowhere. That was why I prioritized learning martial arts before studies!

Kong Xiuru’s heart bloomed like a flower upon hearing Ling Yun’s praise.
Go to hell! So everyone guessed it right, you do have a master…


Everyone?
Ling Yun looked up with interest.
Kong Xiuru gave Ling Yun a sidelong glance.
Yes, there is a rumor spreading all over the school now. You must have met a high ranking martial artist when you were young, someone who taught you amazing skills. You’ve been enduring insults quietly until now, when you are about to graduate…


I have never thought that such a dramatic plot would be possible in real life…
Kong Xiuru said dreamily.
Ling Yun was secretly happy; that saved him the trouble of going around and explaining things. He nodded his head in confirmation.
Sigh… I’m a low-profile genius who wants to keep my power under wraps, but that’s just impossible!

Kong Xiuru giggled as she extended her pink index finger and gave Ling Yun’s forehead a gentle poke.
Stop being so slick, have some food before it turns cold! Drink some soup first…

Kong Xiuru’s food was delicious, and Ling Yun ate his fill, giving Kong Xiuru a sense of satisfaction.
Kong Xiuru served Ling Yun throughout the meal. At twelve-thirty in the afternoon, Ling Yun received a call from Tang Meng and got up to leave.


Kong Xiuru was very reluctant to let him go. She wanted nothing more than for Ling Yun to stay with her twenty-four hours a day. Ling Yun reignited the passion in her.

Teacher, call me when you miss me. Both of us are very busy but don’t worry, I’ll bring you on a relaxing island-wide tour once the college entrance exams are done. Perhaps we can have our first night together then. We can go to Switzerland if you don’t like it here! What do you say?
Ling Yun promised her while hugging her hot, seductive body.
Xiao Meimei warned him that domestic accounts weren’t safe. Luo Zhong sealed his accounts just because he went into the crater. Ling Yun hadn’t forgotten about it!
Ling Yun had other intentions in mind when he mentioned an island-wide tour. The place he wanted to visit the most was actually Henan, where the Emperor Brush was found.

You have to promise me!
Kong Xiuru wrapped her arms around Ling Yun’s waist lovingly.
Ling Yun locked gazes with Kong Xiuru with deep affection.
I promise you 100%! However, you have to ensure that you take care of your body. Don’t work so hard, if not you’ll age rapidly…

Ling Yun knew that Kong Xiuru had a deep sense of responsibility. Her promotion was good, but it was bound to be more exhausting.

What did you make me a boring director for then? This is a thankless job, I really don’t want to do it…

Kong Xiuru twisted her body in Ling Yun’s arms like a spoiled child.
Ling Yun smiled lightly and rubbed her pretty nose.
This is just a springboard. If you’re willing, I’ll make you Director of the Qingshui City Education Bureau when I graduate!



Ling Yun had plans for Kong Xiuru’s future. The position that Lu Chengtian’s father was occupying would be Kong Xiuru’s sooner or later.

What!

Kong Xiuru was shocked, it was the top position in the education sector of Qingshui City!
She was merely a normal teacher currently. Director of the Education Bureau of Qingshui City was a million levels higher!
Ling Yun didn’t think much of it. He squeezed Kong Xiuru’s butt, excited by its elasticity.
This position will be a little tiring, but just act out the part. It’s just a transitional period, understand?

After, Ling Yun walked out of the dormitory under Kong Xiuru’s shell-shocked gaze.
Ling Yun went downstairs to his Land Rover and drove slowly out of the school gates. He simultaneously gave Tang Meng a call.

How did that Wang Lei die?


Big Brother Yun, Wang Lei’s corpse has been soaked for a good twenty days and has rotten away severely. He has now been carried away and is awaiting forensic identification,
reported Tang Meng.

However, Tie Xiaohu and I did loiter around to observe. He didn’t have any external trauma. They suspect he lost his footing and fell into the water…
Tang Meng continued after a slight pause.

Rubbish, how can that be. Where is his body being transported?
Ling Yun sneered.

The vehicle came from the People’s Hospital, so it should be sent to the mortuary of the People’s hospital,
Tang Meng answered.

You must get your father to help in this matter. This person is very important, we have to get to the bottom of his identity, understand?
Ling Yun urged.
Tang Meng readily agreed.
Big Brother Yun, I know, I asked my dad for help already. Kang Ruiyong will be on this case personally.


That’s good. Do note that while we use the power of the police, you shouldn’t be sitting around idle. Ask Tie Xiaohu to dig into Wang Lei, report everything to me tonight!
Ling Yun said, reassured.
Ling Yun’s car came to a halt at the school gate after he hung up the call. A beautiful girl with lustrous hair was leering at him under a sycamore tree.
It was Miao Xiaomiao!
