Chapter 1578 — Wei Zhao's Resolve

"After a careful examination by our plastic surgery experts, this suspect was found to have undergone cosmetic surgery. So this matter is, exactly as we suspected, undoubtedly a frame-up targeting you," Yang Huaijun said. "Therefore, whether it is for solving our case or for you to unearth the mastermind behind the scenes, both are of the utmost importance."
"I'll do my best — let's wait and see how it goes," Wei Zhao nodded. "However, if his brain was damaged by drugs, the chances of restoring it are very slim..."
"Good! Let's head to the hospital together," Yang Huaijun said.
"By the way, how are Qiu Lingshan and Wu Chengtian?" Wei Zhao asked.
"It's quite miraculous. The doctor said they only sustained external injuries — all their internal organs are perfectly intact. It really is a miracle!" Liu Wangli's voice still carried a note of wonder as he spoke of it.
Yang Huaijun and Wei Zhao exchanged a glance, a wordless understanding passing between them. He naturally knew what had happened, and Qiu Lingshan had already told him about Wei Zhao's extraordinary abilities — but Liu Wangli was in the dark.
Liu Wangli still had business to attend to, so Yang Huaijun personally accompanied Wei Zhao to the hospital.
On the road, with only the two of them, conversation was far easier.
"Eagle — could it be some faction you've crossed paths with before? Otherwise, an ordinary criminal gang wouldn't possess such advanced technology!" Yang Huaijun said. "Between the plastic surgery technique, the hypnotic technique, and that man's instantaneous burst of strength, none of it is something an ordinary criminal gang could achieve! I examined that man's strength myself — right now he's no different from an ordinary person, with no trace of Xuan-tier power whatsoever! So his strength must have been boosted instantaneously by drugs, not his own innate ability!"
"Oh?" Yang Huaijun's words plunged Wei Zhao back into deep thought. But no matter how he turned the question over in his mind, he could not think of which faction might be responsible. After all, he had indeed offended some criminal gangs in the past — but those gangs didn't know his current identity, and they certainly didn't possess such formidable means.
Now it seemed more like enemies he had made since arriving in Songshan City — only he couldn't tell which one.
"If you can't figure it out right now, don't torment yourself. We'll wait and see when the time comes," Yang Huaijun said, watching Wei Zhao's brooding expression. "From what I understand of prominent families, this level of means is beyond what any ordinary family could pull off. It would have to be the work of a Hidden Family or a sect."
"True — we'll see when the time comes," Wei Zhao managed a bitter smile. The people from Hidden Families and sects — he had crossed plenty of them.
"Let's drop that for now. Lingshan tells me you're planning to go after the Yu family?" Yang Huaijun hesitated before asking.
"Mm..." Wei Zhao nodded.
"Sigh — didn't I tell you before? Don't make a move against the Yu family unless you're absolutely certain," Yang Huaijun sighed. "From my covert investigation, the secular Yu family's backing isn't simply the Hidden Yu family — it goes far deeper than that. Over the years, the secular Yu family has quietly engaged in all manner of unsavory dealings — drug trafficking, smuggling, and so on. These are precisely the things the Hidden Yu family would consider beneath them. So these under-the-table operations point to one conclusion: behind the secular Yu family, there must be a powerful figure pulling the strings..."
"Brother Jun, why do I feel like you've become so cautious and hesitant when it comes to taking action now? You second-guess everything far more than you used to," Wei Zhao said, turning the question around instead of answering.
