Hu Qi said nervously, "It's … it's my big brother … who contacted them …"
"Your big brother?"
Ding Meng thought about it carefully. Wasn't Hu Qi's big brother Hu Tianyu, the teacher of the Southern District's Boxing Department back then? Back then, that guy had a very bad relationship with Mr. Zhao. "Hu Tianyu isn't a teacher anymore?
He's here to do this kind of thing? "
Hu Qi lowered his head and said, "They said that as long as they confirm that the teachers are useful and release the itinerary, they will give us an intermediary fee."
Ding Meng stared at him. "How much?"
Hu Qi said, "3 million Star Coins."
Luckily, Gu Yuanyuan had been killed by Ding Meng. If she heard this, she would probably vomit blood in anger. She was the one who put in the effort, but in the end, she only got one-tenth of the money. She died too unjustly.
Ding Meng said, "Show me the transaction records!"
Hu Qi's head was covered in cold sweat. Didn't Ding Meng just kill Xiao Gu like this?
But no matter how scared he was, he had to obediently turn on his wrist device. The transaction details of his personal information card immediately appeared on the screen. It showed that there were four transactions of 3 million Star Coins in the past six years, which meant that the Hidden Front had kidnapped four teachers. This completely matched the information provided by Roger about the four missing teachers.
"They're all teachers from the Listin Academy?" Ding Meng's gaze gradually sharpened.
Hu Qi lowered his head even more. "No, no, there are also teachers from the Superconductor Academy …"
"Very good!" Ding Meng said expressionlessly. "Open your contact list and contact Hu Tianyu."
Hu Qi raised his head with a blank face. "What?"
Ding Meng said, "Tell him that Mr. Xu Weimin from the Listin Academy will go fishing alone at Sweetwater Park in the suburbs of Autumn Pool City at around 1 pm. Mr. Xu Weimin has a personal martial art of the Moonlight Holy Fist. Tell Hu Tianyu to inform him …"
Teacher Xu was actually the teacher who taught Yu Man and the others. Ding Meng had only interacted with him once before and they weren't familiar with each other. However, Ding Meng was able to accurately identify Teacher Xu's martial techniques at this moment. It was all thanks to Teacher Zhao's personal optical computer. The information in the optical computer showed that Teacher Zhao and Teacher Xu were very close. The two often discussed martial techniques together. Therefore, Teacher Zhao knew about Teacher Xu's personal martial techniques and was also very familiar with his daily routine.
When Hu Qi ended the call, a notification sounded from his personal information card on the holographic screen. Taking a closer look, Hu Qi had received 800,000 star coins.
Ding Meng said, "What's the meaning of this?"
Hu Qi's head drooped. "This is the deposit. They will pay the rest after the job is done, which means that they acknowledge this teacher."
Ding Meng said, "Do you think you'll still be alive to spend this money?"
Hu Qi retreated in fear. "Don't kill me … don't kill me … please …"
Ding Meng smiled. "When did I say I wanted to kill you?"
Hu Qi was stunned again. "Then you …"
Ding Meng said, "You're all small fries who work for money. The person behind the scenes is the one I'm looking for. What's the use of killing you?"
Hu Qi felt like he had been pardoned. He let out a long sigh of relief. "That's good, that's good. Brother Ding, if you need anything in the future, just let me know …"
Ding Meng looked at him coldly. His tone suddenly changed. "Although it's useless to kill you, you do deserve to die."
Hu Qi's expression changed again. However, he could not make a sound. He felt as if his throat was being strangled by a pair of invisible hands. Then, his entire body went numb. He could not feel anything.
In the middle of the luxurious office, Hu Qi turned into a ball of flame with a bang. Gu Yuanyuan's body on the big office table also flew into the air and melted directly. The two balls of flame burned for a long time and finally disappeared completely.
Ding Meng's eyes slightly exerted force, and the craters on the surrounding walls also returned to their original state. It was as if nothing had happened here, but Hu Qi and Gu Yuanyuan had completely disappeared from this world. Even their spiritual bodies would not be left behind.
This was not Ding Meng's ruthlessness, but this matter could not go wrong. He could not leave any clues for the other party.
After dealing with all this, Ding Meng used the Cyan Spirit Skill and equipped the Thousand Shadow Foil. His whole body changed at a speed visible to the naked eye. He changed from a young boy to a gentle middle-aged man. This image was Xu Weimin, the teacher of the school. It was not difficult to imitate the current Teacher Xu. The investigation order could directly connect to the space station of Planet TT12 in the military database. After obtaining the authority, he could connect to the intranet of Ristin School and instantly extract Teacher Xu's information.
Ding Meng's figure flashed and he returned to the bustling pedestrian street. Now, he was wearing a very simple jacket and slowly walked in the crowd. No one could tell that he was a disguise.
It was 9 o 'clock at night, and there was still some time before 1 o' clock in the morning. Ding Meng casually strolled around the pedestrian street. After walking a few rounds, he stopped outside a shop. The shop's crystal display cabinet was filled with a dazzling array of fishing equipment.
Ding Meng's eyes widened slightly. In the next second, two metal fishing rods, one long and one short, a portable toolbox, and a plastic bucket appeared in his hands. When others saw this, they would definitely think that this was a veteran fishing enthusiast.
According to the information from Teacher Zhao's optical computer, Teacher Xu was indeed a fishing expert, but he did not have much time to go out. Now that he was old, he was in a semi-retired state and spent most of his time recuperating in school.
Fishing was also addictive. Those veteran fishing enthusiasts liked to fish all night, and they had to go all the way out of the city to fish in the wild.
Tianshui Park was such a good place because the upper reaches of the Jinxiu River in Qiuze City passed through the park. This river nurtured hundreds of thousands of hectares of rice fields and wheat fields in the Jinfeng Oasis, so it was named Tianshui Park.
A man-made lake had been built in the middle of the park. It was already late at night, but there were about 34 people fishing around the lake. They were all people around Teacher Xu's age.
Ding Meng found a patch of grass and sat down alone. He opened the fishing rod and hung the bait before starting to fish. He was not pretending. When he was young, he had followed Sister Wen He and Brother Zheng Ming to wander around. Fishing was a necessary survival skill. Therefore, he had just sat down for an hour or so when the bucket was filled with a bunch of lively fish.
"Little brother, you're really good at fishing!" A white-haired old man beside him could not help but come over.
"Yeah, we've been fishing since 7 o 'clock, but we don't even have half of the fish you've caught." There was a young man beside the old man. They were probably father and son. The two of them were very envious of Ding Meng.
Ding Meng smiled and said meaningfully, "I'm just lucky. I'm not good at fishing. The big fish are all behind me."
As the time gradually approached 1 o 'clock in the morning, the number of people fishing around the lake gradually decreased. Other than the father and son, there were less than five people left, all of whom were middle-aged men.
Not long after, the young man's fishing rod vibrated violently. It was obvious that a fish had taken the bait. And judging from the vibrations, it was probably a big fish.
The young man pulled the fishing rod hard, but found that he could not pull it up.
"Little Nian, let me help you!" The old man stood up and reached out to grab the fishing rod.
The father and son worked together, and with a splash, a big fish about one meter long was pulled out of the water.
"Yes!" The young man waved his fist vigorously. "We finally caught a big one."
Ding Meng could not help but be attracted by the fish that the father and son had caught. The fish's body shone with three colors, and its scales were as sharp as blades. It was the famous sweet water fish of planet TT12, and was also a well-known specialty of the empire.
The father and son were overjoyed. At this moment, Ding Meng's fishing rod vibrated violently. Ding Meng could not help but smile. "It seems that a big fish has taken the bait!"
The young man was pleasantly surprised. "Big Brother, you have a good catch here. You can pull the rod back now."
Ding Meng grabbed the rod with both hands and pulled it up violently.
With a splash, the water split open, and a sweet water fish that shone with five colors was pulled up. This fish was at least 1.5 meters long, and was indeed a rare good catch.
However, at this moment, the fish that had flown up in the air split open on its own, and a black shadow came out of the fish's mouth. The black shadow swung its palm at Ding Meng's face.
Ding Meng was already prepared, and he took a step back.
However, to his surprise, the young man next to him suddenly kicked out without warning as he retreated, and the target was also his head.
Ding Meng suddenly made a difficult move. His body formed an iron bridge, and he first dodged the incoming palm. Then, he straightened his body and somersaulted in the air. The young man's flying kick was magically dodged by him.
However, when he landed on the ground and stood firm, another strong gust of wind came pressing down on him. This time, he couldn't avoid it. With a "dang" sound, his forehead received a heavy blow, and he finally fell down weakly.
This process was completed in the blink of an eye. The young man sighed. "Fortunately, Old Nine has you!"
It turned out that the last blow had been delivered by the old man. At this moment, there was still a layer of white Origin Energy on the edge of his palm. Now, the surrounding Dangling Fishers heard the news and rushed over. They hurriedly attached energy bands to Ding Meng's limbs and injected them into his Origin Body, completely imprisoning him …
It turned out that these Dangling Fishers were all in cahoots. They had set up a trap here long ago, waiting for Ding Meng to take the bait.
At this moment, Old Nine no longer had the slightest hint of joy on his face. He said solemnly, "These teachers used to be veterans, so they still have a few tricks up their sleeves. If I don't make a move, you may not be able to deal with him in one go. Check and confirm his identity!"
The young man immediately turned on his wrist device and scanned Ding Meng's face with a ray. "The DNA match is 100%. This person is indeed Xu Weimin from the Lissten Academy. There is no mistake about the target."
Old Nine said decisively, "Okay, then take him away!"
Everyone hurriedly pushed over a medical pod and placed Ding Meng inside. Then, they activated the cryogenic function and finally carried the medical pod to a civilian flying car that had been waiting at a nearby bend.
The flying car quickly spewed out crystal flames and slowly rose into the air.
Inside the medical pod, although Ding Meng's eyes were tightly shut and he seemed to be unconscious, his mind was actually very clear. His telekinesis vision had already spread out all around. From the moment he entered the park, he had already seen the assassins lurking at the bottom of the lake and the Origin Energy users disguised by the lakeside. What he wanted to do was to "fish" this school of fish out. I want to see where you want to send me.
How is this mysterious Hidden Front going to reform me?
Instead of investigating everywhere without any clues like Roger and the others, it would be better to beat them at their own game and be captured alive. Then, they could use the vines to find the melon.
