293: Chapter 91: The Origin of Liuye Camp is Not Simple 293: Chapter 91: The Origin of Liuye Camp is Not Simple Wang Yunxiao had his eyes truly opened today.
Taoists pretending to be possessed by gods, real estate developers with murky sources of capital, ignorant believers beguiled, specially trained Faceless Ones, old lawyers who turned black into white with their glib tongues, and elite soldiers who supported the President unconditionally.
No sooner had one finished than another took the stage, the excitement was nonstop.
The direction of the entire incident was becoming stranger and stranger.
The three people undergoing interrogation provided three different leads.
Faceless One Lu Er, about whom there was still no further information, sounded a bit like a member of a spy training organization known as “Liuye Camp”.
The loafer acting as the victim’s family member, Dog Child, claimed he had been instructed by Senior Brother Zhao of the Great Luo Sect; this seemed the most plausible.
And that old lawyer, who spoke so eloquently of legal justice, claimed he was recruited by an old friend’s phone call, offering a hefty sum to come out of retirement and seek compensation for the victim.
As for that old friend, he was said to be just an ordinary but very wealthy shop owner.
It wasn’t as if the three had nothing to do with one another, but they also did not seem to be on the same page at all.
Qin Xiangdong began making calls for reinforcements.
The word “give up” wasn’t in his dictionary, and since he took on the role of police chief, he was committed to investigating any case in his jurisdiction to the end, never allowing any leniency or indulgence.
“Given the complicated situation, I suggest that you two don’t leave the police station tonight for your own safety,” he said.
Qin Xiangdong, who had been muddled since the beginning, had completely forgotten about the father-daughter duo of Mu Yuming after being reminded by Wang Yunxiao.
Only then did he remember those two individuals.
Their connection to the case itself had become negligible, but they weren’t entirely innocent either.
After all, the entire affair started because someone coveted the money in Mu Yuming’s hands.
Letting them leave now would amount to letting the sheep out of the pen, inevitably leading to a lamb entering the tiger’s maw.
But Mu Yuming politely declined Qin Xiangdong’s kind offer.
“My wife is waiting at home, and she will be worried if we don’t return tonight.
Rest assured, we understand the gravity of the situation and won’t cause any trouble for you,” he said.
Before coming here, Li Mumu had already sent Jiang Yinyin home to report the situation.
The family was aware of what was happening here.
Mu Yuming had great confidence in his wife’s fortune-telling abilities.
Since Li Ya did not give any specific warnings when they left home in the morning, it indicated that he wouldn’t face any danger.
As for someone standing next to him getting a bullet in the head, that was their destiny, and it had absolutely nothing to do with him.
If you want to get by in life, you have to…
no, what I mean is, you need to maintain a calm mindset.
Don’t get too entangled in other people’s fates.
Whether they make money or get beaten up has nothing to do with you, don’t over-identify with it, and create additional stress for yourself.
Wang Yunxiao escorted them to the police station entrance.
Although he wanted to extend his help further, manpower was already being assembled at the station, and he simply couldn’t leave.
“Uncle Mu, Student Li, today’s events were a bit chaotic, and I apologize for leaving a bad impression.
Usually, things aren’t like this around here…” he said.
“I know, and it’s not your fault, it’s mainly the problem of money enticing people’s greed.”
Mu Yuming extended his hand to Wang Yunxiao for a handshake, smiling and said, “If you have time tomorrow, come to my company and have a tea, let’s talk about the demolition issue.”
Wang Yunxiao thought for a moment and nodded, “No problem, would it be convenient for you if I come over in the afternoon?”
“Anytime is convenient, there’s not much happening on my end right now.”
After sending the father and daughter off, Wang Yunxiao turned and went to the door of the security guard booth, knocking on the window, “Master?”
Old Master He was squatting inside the booth smoking, without even lifting his eyelids, he snorted coldly, “What is it?”
Wang Yunxiao said with an apologetic smile, “Master, another ‘faceless one’ has sneaked into our bureau and Director Qin is very angry.
There’s going to be a big move tonight.
You’re an old hand in the Jianghu World, have you heard of Liuye Camp?”
“Liuye Camp?”
Old Master He abruptly raised his head, staring at Wang Yunxiao and asked, “Liuye Camp has long been gone, where did you hear this name from, youngster?”
Wang Yunxiao shrugged, “The spy who sneaked in confessed, saying they were trained at Liuye Camp and then sent to various places to gather intelligence.”
Old Master He frowned, “Impossible, how could Liuye Camp…
Are you sure he mentioned the three words ‘Liuye Camp’?”
Seeing the tense expression on Old Master He, Wang Yunxiao couldn’t help but ask with curiosity, “Is there something else about this Liuye Camp?”
Old Master He flicked the ash from his cigarette and lowered his voice, “Young people nowadays don’t know about this, but back then…
it must have been over twenty years ago, State Duke Mu led a campaign to the Northwest, selecting strong local youths to form a new army.
At that time, it was called Willow Camp.”
“Later, Willow Camp followed State Duke Mu to the West to fight hard against the Rakshasas, suffering heavy losses, almost wiping out the entire camp.
Three thousand elite troops went and less than three hundred returned, all from the most outstanding generation of young men…
After that battle, more than half of the families in the North Thirteen Families had their lineages cut off.”
“Subsequently, the President trained troops in Tianmen, inviting the veterans of that year’s Willow Camp to re-form.
They created two military camps, Liutiao and Liuye.
Liutiao Camp later merged with the present Ink Green Qilin Army, but Liuye Camp wasn’t so lucky.
Ten years ago, they went deep into Annan and were completely annihilated, the entire camp was lost.”
“So how come there’s suddenly another Liuye Camp now?
And they’re sneaking around, using despicable methods.”
Old Master He rolled his eyes and shook his head, “It’s hard to say about this…
If they’re masquerading under the name of Liuye Camp, then they’re purely seeking death.
The veterans of Liutiao Camp definitely wouldn’t let them off.
But if…
Kid, you remember, right?
The files Director Qin brought out that day, there was one called the Iron Blood Society.”
Wang Yunxiao exclaimed, “You mean to say that someone from the military did this privately?”
“I didn’t say that, don’t spread rumors about me!”
Old Master He quickly waved his hand, “As to what’s really happening, we ordinary folks don’t know, and it’s best not to pry too deep.
Later, by observing the military’s attitude, we can basically determine what this Liuye Camp really is.”
Just as he finished speaking, the sound of car horns came from the distant street.
Three military transport trucks drove mightily down the street, heading straight for the police station entrance.
A young officer jumped off one of the trucks, raised his hand in a salute toward Old Master He.
“Hello, I am Xiao Hua, the commander of the 27th company of the Ink Green Qilin Army, ordered to report here!”
Old Master He and Wang Yunxiao looked at each other, thinking to themselves that Director Qin was probably playing for real this time.
