Wu Changgeng left temporarily and called the head of the Wu family. He relayed everything Ye Longlin had told him.
After Ye Longlin left, he also received a call.
"Hall Master, the person has been found. I've sent you the specific information and location."
Hei Wuchang called. After investigating everyone in the church, he narrowed it down to three suspicious individuals. Through surveillance, he finally identified one:
Pimute.
According to the information, Pimute was the CEO of the Kyushu District of "The", the largest import and export trading company in the United States. The taxes paid annually amounted to tens of billions.
Pimute was also a devout follower of Godism, so it seemed normal for him to attend a sermon. However, the issue was that he had met with someone in his company with whom he had no apparent connection, at least according to the publicly available information.
After this information reached the Dragon Pavilion, they immediately launched a thorough investigation. They discovered that the person he met was an SSS-class war criminal, Fang Chang, ranked ninety-seventh.
Fang Chang, a mid-stage cultivator of Zhuban Longxiang, was once hunted down for the unprovoked massacre of a small sect. He had single-handedly killed nearly six hundred people in the entire sect, leaving no survivors. The Town Martial Department had dispatched numerous individuals to pursue him, and it was only after paying a great price that he was apprehended.
Previously, the Dragon Pavilion's intelligence department had searched the entire country but found no trace of any war criminals. However, ever since their return from overseas, these war criminals had appeared one after another like mushrooms after rain. No one knew what was happening.
"Arrest them! And initiate reconnaissance on all war criminals!"
Yuan Gang gave the order and led his men directly to Luoshan Villa District.
Luoshan Villa District was a mid-to-high-end villa area. The residents were mostly small wealthy individuals. Of course, "small wealthy" in the capital city meant top-tier wealthy elsewhere.
"Yes!"
Yuan Gang personally led the team to apprehend the suspect.
Two years ago, almost all war criminals had been captured. However, except for one SSS-class war criminal, there was no news of the others. Despite their diligent efforts to find them, there were still no leads.
For the past two years, both the information departments and the Dragon Pavilion had been searching with little success. Now that they were all appearing, it truly gave one the feeling of an approaching storm.
Luoshan Villa District was not too large, but it contained a hundred villas and three low-rise apartment buildings.
Pimute was currently chatting with Fang Chang in his villa.
"Dear Fang, can the people behind you really make me a senior executive at 'The' headquarters? In your words, if I become a senior executive, I will definitely not treat you poorly."
Fang Chang's narrow eyes narrowed slightly, and he nodded, "Of course, Pimute. You must trust the people behind me. They have immense power and can even make you the owner of 'The'. You should know your country's UM company, and you should also know about their last major change, shouldn't you?"
His narrow eyes squinted further, like those of a venomous snake, making one feel uneasy.
Pimute nodded, "Of course. UM Company is our manufacturing giant. I am very shocked that the people behind you can achieve this, so I am willing to trust you."
He said this and clapped his hands.
Four women wearing bikinis walked out of the room. If anyone else were present, they would undoubtedly recognize them as the four rising stars of the entertainment industry. Unexpectedly, they were all here now!
"Dear Fang, this is your gift. From now on, you can enjoy your gift here!"
Fang Chang burst into laughter, "Pimute, you understand me best. Rest assured, I will definitely help you."
As soon as he finished speaking, he pounced.
Meanwhile, within the villa complex, Dragon Pavilion soldiers had already concealed themselves and were silently approaching Villa Sixteen.
Pimute walked along the dark path with a smug expression. Although the four female celebrities had cost him over twenty million, it was nothing compared to the benefits he stood to gain.
After UM's exit, he knew that the people behind the operation truly had power.
This was also the brilliance of the Dark Temple. They were willing to pay a price to develop their subordinates. No one would suspect that a seemingly innocent person was actually a member of the Dark Temple.
This greatly reduced the risk.
Pimute walked onto a dark path. After ten minutes, he still couldn't get out of the dark path, which was only dozens of meters long.
At Jiu Ma Tea Industry.
Wu Changgeng had finished his call with the family head. After receiving the family head's approval, Wu Changgeng directly stated, "Since Commander Ye wishes for us to align with your side, you must also show sufficient sincerity. Without proper sincerity, how can we be sure that you won't discard us after the matter is settled?"
Ye Longlin was not surprised by their conditions; they were not foolish.
"Of course, this is a contract. Also, I would like to know if you intend to be like the Ye family in the secular world, or to remain in hiding?"
Ye Longlin said with a smile, already halfway successful.
Wu Changgeng stroked his chin, "Of course, we wish to remain in hiding. We do not wish to become another Ye family, so you should understand my meaning."
Ye Longlin nodded, "You can choose any location for your base. Of course, we will not be responsible for the funds to build your family's establishment. However, as compensation, after the destruction of the Ye family, you can take thirty percent of the total value of their assets, which should be enough for you to establish your family."
Wu Changgeng reviewed the contract item by item. The contract clearly stated that by choosing to remain hidden, they would have to act as they did before, staying out of worldly affairs. Whether hidden or visible, they would have to obey official commands and become part of the official underlying strength.
"I need to take this contract back for my family head to review. If there are no issues, I will contact you tomorrow evening. If there are issues, I will also contact you. After all, for our Wu family, we only wish to continue our lineage. As for your conflict, we do not wish to participate."
Ye Longlin nodded, indicating his understanding and acceptance.
After discussing some contract details, Wu Changgeng proposed to leave. Ye Longlin saw him out, paid the bill, and also departed.
The Ye family had no idea that Ye Longlin had secretly contacted the Wu family and even swayed them to his side.
Perhaps it would only be during the final battle that the Ye family would understand the feeling of betrayal.
