"Was it really your idea to attack Yan Xue your own, and it had nothing to do with the Zuo Family?"
Fang Ping asked coldly.
Although Zuo Wei took all the responsibility on himself, Fang Ping did not believe him at all.
According to his investigation, Zuo Wei was not doing well in the Zuo Family, and he had fallen out of the ranks of the Zuo Family's upper echelons.
It would be difficult for such a person to order Wu Zhenzhu, a Rank 5 Awakened, to cooperate with him in obtaining information.
Therefore, he felt that Zuo Wei was not telling the truth.
"It was Sir Zuo Gaofeng's order to attack Yan Xue."
Zuo Wei replied with a wooden expression.
Now that he was under the control of the parasite, there was no possibility of him protecting the Zuo Family.
"As expected."
Fang Ping's expression showed that he was right. The assassination of Yan Xue was not Zuo Wei's idea.
He took out a pen and paper.
"List all the people who participated in the assassination of Yan Xue."
Zuo Wei took the pen and paper and listed the people who participated in the assassination one by one. There were more than ten people, and the one at the top was the Zuo Family's Morning Star powerhouse, Zuo Gaofeng.
"Do you know where the Zuo Family's treasure vault is located?"
"I only know that it's at Sir Zuo Gaofeng's residence, but I don't know the specific location."
"What abilities does Zuo Gaofeng have?"
"Iron Thorns, Lightning Transformation, Terrain Manipulation …"
After more than half an hour of questioning and getting all the information he wanted, Fang Ping decisively burned Zuo Wei to ashes.
He took out his computer and began to track the positions of the ten people listed with his hacking skills.
The Zuo Family was a large Awakened family with hundreds of people. Many of them did not participate in the assassination of Yan Xue.
He could not kill all of them, so he could only target those who had participated in the assassination.
Soon, he locked onto the position of one person. Using the Door Door Fruit ability, he rushed to the person's location with Lu Yu.
In a high-class apartment, a man with a hideous scar on the back of his hand frowned.
He was a consecrator of the Zuo Family and was once responsible for monitoring Yan Xue.
This time, the assassination of Yan Xue failed. Although the main responsibility had been taken by Zuowei, as one of the participants of this incident, he was still inevitably punished. He was fined three months of his salary.
Although it was a little painful, compared to Zuo Wei's treatment, it was still a little fortunate.
Buzz —
Suddenly, a door opened silently in the room, and Fang Ping and Lu Yu walked out from it.
"Fang Ping …"
Seeing Fang Ping and Lu Yu suddenly appear, he turned pale with fright. He was in charge of monitoring and investigating Yan Xue, so he naturally knew Fang Ping. He also knew about the relationship between Fang Ping and Yan Xue.
He abruptly retreated towards the window, wanting to jump out and escape. Knowing Fang Ping, he knew very well that he was no match for Fang Ping.
Crack!
Suddenly, he felt something tighten around his neck. Then, he saw that Fang Ping had appeared beside him.
His right hand was on his neck, and golden flames were spreading towards him. Soon, he was completely engulfed in flames.
"Wu —"
Being burned by the flames, he let out a painful whimper as his throat was crushed. Then, he was burned to death.
After burning the body to ashes, Fang Ping led Lu Yu to the next person on the list.
In a parking lot, a young man opened the door of a luxury car and walked out. His name was Zuo Qingguang, a member of the Zuo Family and one of the participants of the assassination of Yan Xue.
As a member of the Zuo Family and not the person in charge, his punishment after the assassination failed was very limited. He was only symbolically fined half a month's salary.
Therefore, although he failed to assassinate Yan Xue, he was not in a bad mood. Right now, he was about to head to the residence of one of his mistresses.
Suddenly, he heard footsteps approaching. When he looked up, he could not help but panic.
Two people were walking towards him. One of them was a young man with short black hair. It was Fang Ping.
Of course, he knew Fang Ping. When he was investigating Yan Xue, he had envied Fang Ping's luck with women. Now that Fang Ping was in front of him, he had a bad feeling.
"What do you want? I'm a member of the Zuo Family. If you attack me, the Zuo Family won't …"
He tried to scare Fang Ping away, but before he could finish, Fang Ping appeared beside him in a flash, golden flames surging out.
Under the tyrannical golden flames, he, a mere Type 4 Awakened, was burnt to ashes in an instant.
…
In the evening, at Zuo Gaofeng's residence.
"What? Including Zuo Wei, there are thirteen people who have gone missing in one day?"
Hearing the report, Zuo Gaofeng was both shocked and furious. With a crack, he smashed a crystal tea table into pieces.
Losing contact with thirteen people in one day was a serious matter that had never happened to the Zuo Family.
"Are there any traces of fighting at the scene?"
"No, I had people carefully investigate the place where these people disappeared. There are no traces of fighting."
A man with a short beard on his chin said with cold sweat on his forehead.
His name was Zuo Jinghui. He replaced Zuo Weixin in the Zuo Family after Zuo Wei was stripped of his status.
He had just been promoted, and such a big thing had happened in the area he was in charge of. This made him nervous and apprehensive. He was afraid that Lord Zuo Gaofeng would be dissatisfied and abolish the high-ranking status he had obtained with great difficulty.
"No traces of fighting?
Even the place where Zuo Wei went missing? "
Zuo Gaofeng asked.
"Yes, even the place where Zuo Wei went missing, there were no traces of fighting. I went to the place where Zuo Wei went missing to check, and there were no traces of fighting."
Zuo Jinghui said quickly.
"Zuo Wei couldn't resist?"
Zuo Gaofeng pondered. Zuo Wei used to be a high-ranking member of the Zuo Family and had the strength of a Level 5 Awakened. The person who could make a Level 5 Awakened powerless must be very strong.
Even if it wasn't a Morning Star powerhouse, it must be a powerhouse very close to it. In addition, it required a strong intelligence network to locate these people. Zuo Gaofeng had a faint guess in his heart.
"Check these missing people and see if they participated in the assassination of the super hacker Yan Xue."
Zuo Jinghui responded and hurriedly went to investigate. Half an hour later, he returned, slightly out of breath, and reported.
"As Sir expected, these people did participate in the assassination of the super hacker Yan Xue."
"They're quite bold."
Taking a deep breath, Zuo Gaofeng's face was ashen.
By now, he was almost certain that it was Fang Ping who made the thirteen people disappear, including Zuo Wei.
The other party found out that the assassination of Yan Xue was done by the Zuo Family through some means, so he retaliated against the Zuo Family who participated in the assassination.
A moment later, his eyes flashed with a fierce light.
"You're courting death!"
