Chapter 110: Chapter 98: Re-entering Qingyuan_2
“Green-faced Ghost is coming to Qingyuan Fist Village?”
“Don’t ask too many questions, just do as told.”
“Yes!”
Subsequently, the woman in green quietly sat back in the Taishi Chair and waited.
The second major search operation had already started, and inspectors were everywhere in Qingyuan District. With even more watchers outside Qingyuan Fist Village, she was curious about how Green-faced Ghost would silently make his way into the village to meet her?
…
“Halt! Do you have your National ID?”
Li Fei was stopped by several inspectors.
“Yes, I do.”
Li Fei calmly took out his National ID from his chest and handed it over.
The National ID issued by the Da Lan Dynasty consisted of several pages and included personal information such as native place, current domicile, National ID number, date of issuance, educational level, occupation, residence, and more.
Moreover, to ensure that the ‘person matched the ID,’ there was a specific section on the National ID for describing physical features, like whether one had a square face, moles on the face, double or single eyelids, and so forth.
The most crucial piece of personal information was the ‘fingerprint entry.’
On the National ID, fingerprints were differentiated by “spoon” patterns and “dipper” patterns. During registration, each finger of the holder was inspected, and the details were filled into the respective columns.
For “dipper” patterns, a “〇” was marked, and for “spoon” patterns, a “ム” was marked. All ten fingerprints were recorded to prevent counterfeiting.
“You live in the Inspection Bureau’s family compound; are you a child of an Inspector?”
An inspector, after noticing the address in the National ID, asked in surprise.
Li Fei nodded, “Yes.”
“Who is your father?”
“Do I have to say?”
“Ha-ha, no need. You’re just sneaking out for some fun, aren’t you?”
“He-he,”
Li Fei, embarrassed, touched his head.
The faces of the inspectors performing the temporary checks all brightened with smiles, and their looks towards Li Fei softened significantly.
With his upright appearance, Li Fei looked like a good kid, and being a child of the Inspection Bureau, they didn’t question him further and let him pass, reminding him to stay safe.
Next, on his way to Qingyuan Fist Village, Li Fei encountered two more inspections, which he passed safely.
After all, Green-faced Ghost was a murderous, brutal expert with martial master combat power. How could he be connected to an under-18-year-old, upright-looking child of the Inspection Bureau?
It was indeed difficult for Green-faced Ghost to enter Qingyuan Fist Village without attracting attention, but it was different for Li Fei.
What does Green-faced Ghost’s killings have to do with me, Li Fei?
Thus, Li Fei entered Qingyuan Fist Village openly and legitimately.
Despite the thorough checks outside, the Fist Village was still bustling with noise and excitement.
Li Fei found a dark, unnoticed corner, put on a head cover, wore his clothes inside out, and threw over a black robe, completing his disguise.
Carrying the mask of Green-faced Ghost was too risky, so he only brought these items, having an explanation even if checked.
Li Fei, now enveloped in a black robe, emerged from the dark corner and headed towards the residential area of the Inner Village.
He was quickly stopped by the patrolling guards.
“I am Green-faced Ghost, here to see your Big Leader.”
Li Fei stated in a deep voice.
The guards were startled, and the leading martial artist at the Body Breaking stage cautiously regarded Li Fei:
“Follow me.”
Subsequently, Li Fei was led all the way into a house in the residential area.
“The Big Leader is waiting for you inside.”
The leading martial artist declared, then turned and left.
The Big Leader had stated he wanted to meet this person alone, so no one else entered.
As for the Big Leader’s safety, no one in the Fist Village worried about that.
Li Fei stepped into the hall and saw the woman in green sitting on the Taishi Chair.
Their eyes met, and Li Fei felt as though a sword was thrusting towards him, his Steel Armor Implant inside him stirred almost instinctively to activate “Overlord Body”!
Li Fei inwardly panicked and immediately controlled the restless Implant within him.
“Quite brave of you to come alone to this Fist Village to meet me.”
The woman in green said coldly,
“Why not come in person if not to show my sincerity?”
Li Fei replied resolutely,
“If that’s the case, why did you first send Liu San to deliver the message? Are you testing me?”
The woman in green stared directly into Li Fei’s eyes as if she could see through his heart.
Li Fei was startled and, not wanting to be led by her, he spoke up,
“Perhaps the Big Leader has extraordinary strength, but does he have the confidence to confront an alliance between the Chief’s faction and the Tiger Saber Gang?”
Li Fei asked.
The woman in green paused, and calmly asked, “Are you here to tell me that the Chief’s faction and the Tiger Saber Gang are planning to join forces against the Qingyuan Fist Village?”
Li Fei nodded sincerely and said,
“I’m not being alarmist. Please consider carefully, looking at the whole of Xing City, I belong neither to the Chief’s faction nor to the Tiger Saber Gang. Yet, I dare to strike at both; which force am I most likely from? My appearance has disrupted the entire situation in Xing City, who stands to benefit the most in the end? Who are Gu Zhenhui and Yu Hu most likely to suspect?”
“Why couldn’t they suspect that it was someone from the Chen Family?”
The woman in green asked.
When speaking of the overt powers in Xing City, the Chen Family was the third major force after the Chief’s faction and the Tiger Saber Gang.
Li Fei replied without hesitation, “The Chen Family is certainly a suspect, but the suspicion towards Qingyuan Fist Village is definitely much higher since I first appeared there, and it was also there that I assassinated Zhang Mingze.”
Actually, this was Li Fei’s initial strategy; he deliberately disrupted the situation to draw in Qingyuan Fist Village and hence find an ally he could cooperate with.
Only in this way could he enter the fray as a “Chess player.”
But after making that phone call and hearing the Big Leader’s voice, his thoughts changed…
The woman in green laughed coldly, looking at Li Fei,
“Are you trying to say that everything you did was ultimately to smear Qingyuan Fist Village and arouse suspicion from the other two parties?”
Li Fei shook his head, looking directly at her,
“What I did was more out of my own convictions, to follow my own heart and for my own enjoyment.”
“Following your own heart and for your own pleasure?”
The woman in green looked into Li Fei’s eyes, and after a moment her tone softened slightly,
“Then why did you specifically come to caution me about the Chief’s faction and the Tiger Saber Gang teaming up?”
Li Fei replied, “I wanted to tell the Big Leader that the Chief’s faction and the Tiger Saber Gang will definitely team up against Qingyuan Fist Village. Please be prepared!”
“Oh?”
The woman in green narrowed her eyes, “And why are you so sure?”
“Because it’s a great opportunity for both sides, a rare chance for joint action with a plausible suspect; regardless of whether or not I belong to the Fist Village, they can directly consider me part of it and use this to target the Village!”
Li Fei continued,
“This second city-wide search will inevitably target Qingyuan Fist Village. By then, simply finding someone to impersonate me will give the Chief’s faction and the Tiger Saber Gang a reason to act against the Village. At that moment, Big Leader, will you have the confidence to withstand the join attack?”
The woman in green fell into thought.
She had to admit Li Fei’s logic was sound; if she was Gu Zhenhui or Yu Hu, she might also be tempted to seize such an opportunity.
And there was another important reason: compared to dealing with the Chen Family, which is deeply rooted locally and entangled in many aspects, targeting the Qingyuan Fist Village, which only had masters stationed, seemed easier and more manageable afterward.
“So you came to me wanting to form an alliance?”
The woman in green revealed Li Fei’s intentions.
She seemed to have an ability to directly discern people’s hearts, always able to see through others’ motives and thoughts.
Li Fei nodded, “Correct, although this was not my original intention, the situation I’ve created makes this necessary, so I am willing to join forces with the Big Leader to resolve this crisis.”
The woman in green looked at him, “Your thoughts are meticulous and logical, a rare smart person. But have you considered another possibility?”
Li Fei asked, “What possibility?”
“I could capture you now and hand you over to the Chief’s faction or the Tiger Saber Gang, thus naturally resolving the crisis for the Fist Village and perhaps even gaining some benefits in return.”
The woman in green spoke in a serene tone.
As her words fell, she sprang from the Taishi Chair and lunged at Li Fei like thunder!
Note 1: ‘Jiwen’ is the pattern that, like high mountains and flowing water, has an opening on the outer circle.
‘Douwen’ is the opposite of ‘jiwen’, typically a rounded fingerprint made up of concentric circles.
Generally, the outer circle of the fingerprint is closed and classified under ‘douwen’.
For those interested, you can look this up yourself; apart from being used for identification, it can also be used for medical diagnoses, fortune-telling, and marriage compatibility among other things. More will be touched on this subject later in the book.
