Max-Level Metaphysician: A Debt Repayment Journey

Chapter 27: Chapter 27: The Prophecy of the Ancestors

Fu Shiyan said without looking up, “Come in.”

The next second, Duan Jianchuan pushed open the door of the study and entered, “Third Brother.”

Fu Shiyan hummed in response, “Have you found the cause of the explosion?”

Duan Jianchuan nodded, his poker face still showing little reaction, “The car owner was a good-natured man, not likely to have made enemies with anyone, and the explosive used was a high-powered specialty gunpowder, something only certain special organizations would use.”

Fu Shiyan paused in his typing and looked up at Duan Jianchuan, “What do you mean?”

“The car owner himself wouldn’t have any connection with those organizations, and he’s a genuine local, hardly ever having left our country since he was born, and he has a very simple social circle. Therefore, we speculate that the explosive in the car wasn’t meant for the car owner himself.”

...

Fu Shiyan interrupted Duan Jianchuan, “Then it was meant for me?”

Duan Jianchuan nodded, “That’s a possibility. Our people have looked into the car owner’s recent work schedule and travel routes, and found that in the past few days, because of work arrangements, he had dealings with the Fu Group, and his home is located between Third Brother’s house and the group on this line, so there are many overlaps with the routes you travel.”

They suspected that the person behind this intended to target Fu Shiyan, but since Fu Shiyan was vigilant, it was not convenient to tamper with his car, and today Fu Shiyan happened to be riding in Wen Zishu’s car—a situation no one had expected.

So, the person behind this, after investigation, would have discovered that today’s exploded vehicle’s owner had overlapping routes with Fu Shiyan’s, which is why they arranged this act specifically.

“Are you saying the car owner died because of me?” Fu Shiyan’s expression turned slightly cold.

Duan Jianchuan remained silent for a moment, he didn’t reply but instead said, “Therefore, we believe that it’s very likely that the person behind this was targeting Third Brother, and they are ruthless, practically at all costs.”

Fu Shiyan’s slender fingers tapped lightly on the desk, and he said with a smile that was not quite a smile, “It seems quite interesting, I just came back not long ago, and those people have investigated so much.”

Duan Jianchuan, highly alert, immediately picked up on the unspoken implication in Fu Shiyan’s words, “Third Brother, are you suggesting there’s a mole by your side?”

Fu Shiyan did not respond.

Duan Jianchuan frowned and said, “If that’s the case, then we need to check the people around you as soon as possible.”

He remembered that before Fu Shiyan returned to the country, he had already investigated everyone who could come into contact with Fu Shiyan.

How could there still be a mole by Fu Shiyan’s side by now?

Indeed.

If there wasn’t a mole, how could they so clearly know every move Fu Shiyan made?

With this thought, Duan Jianchuan said with some self-reproach, “It’s my negligence.”

“It’s not your fault,” Fu Shiyan closed the folder in front of him and said indifferently, “and there’s no need to bother with them.”

Duan Jianchuan was taken aback, “Why? Having a mole is too dangerous for Third Brother!”

“Eliminating this mole will only bring about the next one. Do you think those people would let me off easily?” Fu Shiyan said lightly.

Duan Jianchuan fell silent.

After two seconds, Fu Shiyan continued, “They won’t let me off, and I won’t let them off either. Since that’s the case, it’s better to keep their people here, and I believe we will soon have a way to deal with them.”

Duan Jianchuan didn’t quite understand, “Does Third Brother have another plan?”

Fu Shiyan simply smiled without saying a word.

Just as Duan Jianchuan was about to ask about Fu Shiyan’s plans, the phone on the desk suddenly rang.

Fu Shiyan glanced at it; it was Zishu calling. He hesitated for a moment, then picked up the phone and answered, “Hello, Zishu…”

“Wah, Third Brother, you have to come and save me!”

Before Fu Shiyan could finish, Wen Zishu started crying out.
