Chapter 119

"What the hell is this? This thing even carries a prison sentence?"

The news from the other end of the phone directly blew Lao Yan's mindset! "Of course.

If you don't have evidence proving this Peach Blossom Nightmare once had human lives on its hands, other clauses can't punish it.

Even Criminal Code Article 300:

Organizing or using cult organizations or using superstition to undermine the implementation of state laws and administrative regulations carries a fixed-term imprisonment of not less than three years but not more than seven years, and a fine.

If the circumstances are especially serious, the punishment is fixed-term imprisonment of not less than seven years or life imprisonment, and a fine or confiscation of property.

If the circumstances are relatively minor, the punishment is fixed-term imprisonment of not more than three years, criminal detention, public surveillance, or deprivation of political rights, and a fine concurrently or independently.

Do you think this Peach Blossom Nightmare applies to this article?

Applies to which clause? This requires an organization, reaching a certain number of people, to constitute the nature of a cult or evil cult.

I even suspect it fundamentally can't be locked up for long, unless you have evidence proving it's guilty.

As long as valid evidence is placed before the Criminal Code, it will naturally receive the punishment it deserves!"

Hiss...

Lao Yan was inexplicably shocked: "Still need to find evidence?"

Chen Yaozu on the other end of the phone spoke as if it were only natural: "Of course! During adjudication, one cannot rely on a single party's word; of course evidence is needed.

Unless it's a ghostly evil spirit currently committing a crime harming others; additionally, there is evidence proving the other party committed crimes before, or there's a warrant on them.

To convict and punish, one naturally must look at evidence for sentencing! Actually I even suspect it can't be locked up for more than a few days!"

Tian Erdai, lingering with fear, suddenly interjected: "Just now this thing almost sucked me dry, it was going for my life — that counts as murder, right! Even though I was saved, that still counts as attempted murder!

How could it not be locked up for a few days?"

Speaking to here, he suddenly felt a bit aggrieved: "And, I wasn't willing, I was forced!

This is always a crime, right!

How could it not be locked up for a few days?"

He was aggrieved, not because the other party couldn't be locked up for a few days, but because he was forced!

The Lao Tian family's face can be considered completely lost!

"This kind of matter between men and women, who knows if it counts as murder!

Also, a woman forcing a man, who knows if that's a crime!"

"I'm not very familiar with domestic law, and I'm not a legal professional either.

You can go consult professionals! Besides, with such a thing appearing and falling into your hands, is it possible you wouldn't report it?

Since it's reported, there will be professional legal personnel studying this issue.

Additionally, if the law can't sanction this Peach Blossom Nightmare, you can seek assistance outside the law.

For example, the Daoist Buddhist Sect, Wizards, Shamans."

Actually Chen Yaozu's words were really right; no matter what suggestions or inside information he heard here, this thing ultimately had to be handed over.

There was even a possibility Lao Yan would make merit, and very likely a major merit! "Alright, thank you Mr. Chen! If there are any issues, I'll consult Mr. Chen again!"

Lao Yan was a bit grateful, sincerely giving thanks.

"No need to be so polite, helping you is helping myself! Call me if anything, I'm busy first!"

Finished speaking, he hung up.

Handing the phone back to Tian Erdai: "What's your condition now, can you walk?"

Tian Erdai shook his head: "I feel like I'm floating even standing, you have to send me to the hospital, I'll get checked what my body's condition is."

"Okay!"

Southeast Asia.

Singapore, hosting Asia's largest legitimate combat sports event, the ring fighting fiercely, fist to flesh, the audience in the stands surging with excitement along with the match.

In a special private box sat a tall, cold beauty who also carried a hint of domineering air; although watching the spectacular match below, her cold, heroic face showed no expression.

At this moment a flat-topped middle-aged man walked over: "Yuan Jie, all intelligence reports show Liu Xing never appeared in Singapore.

There's a not-too-reliable piece of intel saying he should have secretly run off to America!"

The cold, domineering Yuan Jie finally moved, her pair of phoenix eyes narrowing slightly: "That is to say, Liu Xing might have found out A Zu's whereabouts, planning to cut the grass at the root?"

The flat-topped middle-aged man nodded: "There's this possibility, but also the possibility he knows staying in Southeast Asia he'll eventually fall into our hands.

Running to North America is also a last retreat! However, if he knows A Zu's address, he very likely won't let him go! Must guard against it! Yuan Jie, since Hu Ge is gone, just let him return to Southeast Asia! With us here, it's always safer than North America! Besides, the Tianzi-type big and small should have a successor, right!"

Yuan Jie coldly glanced at him, while taking out her phone to dial a number she coldly snorted: "Your idea has crossed the line; Lao Liu used to think exactly like this!

He's a local, thinking this way is no objection, but once this kind of thought arises, mistakes will be made.

Of course, thinking is fine, just don't make mistakes; make mistakes and you'll be punished!

So, to prevent you from making mistakes later, here I need to reiterate one point: the Tianzi-type big and small isn't mine, nor is it Old Tiger's! A successor is natural, but it shouldn't be privately passed down!"

The flat-topped middle-aged man was scolded, hurriedly defending: "

The Tianzi-type big and small is very large, and very important.

Yuan Jie, you could smoothly take over the Tianzi-type big and small without causing any chaos, because your identity is Hu Ge's wife, and we this batch of elites support you.

But to speak ugly, although we these people are elites, our numbers are too few; you and I don't know which day we'll die in a firefight.

If we call A Zu back to stay by your side, later if something happens to us, he can also take over the Tianzi-type big and small, preventing chaos! Legitimate succession is very important!

Besides, didn't Hu Ge want A Zu to bring his wife and kids to his grave to offer wine? Let him make merit.

A suspected murder case where Liu Xing used head-lowering sorcery to frame him, merits and demerits offset, surely he can be allowed to return and sweep the tomb!

Us sweeping Liu Xing across all of Southeast Asia, isn't it to clear A Zu and Hu Ge of this charge!"

Yuan Jie didn't pick up this topic, because the phone had already connected, a man's voice came from the phone: "Who's this!"

Yuan Jie hurriedly walked to the side and replied, "Hello, Mr. Lin! I am Mengqi, the Tianzi-type leader of Southeast Asia!"

The other end of the phone fell silent for a second, then swiftly switched to Mandarin: "Hongmen Three Pillar Incense, I wonder which route's incense you burn?"

Yuan Jie immediately answered, "I don't burn Hongmen Three Pillar Incense, yet in the jianghu I am known as loyal and upright."

"The loyal and upright of the jianghu number forty million; I wonder which one million you belong to, sir?"

"My late husband walked the Zi Three; I walk the Wu Three!"

"So it truly is Madam Yuan, a pleasure to meet you. I am Lin Qinghe; may I ask if there is anything I can help with?"

Yuan Jie also went straight to the point: "Last time, before my late husband Tage passed away, he asked Chairman Lin to guarantee safety for my nephew A Zu when he came seeking help.

I wonder if Chairman Lin still remembers?"

Chairman Lin on the other end let out an "Oh": "Of course I remember. The tiger's nephew is also my nephew; as long as he comes, I will certainly guarantee his safety.

But he never came. I looked into it; he's teaching very well now, and some time ago he even went for disaster relief!

If it weren't for the suppressed news, he'd be a celebrity by now! He seems to have some connection with Tycoon Ma, and his own abilities aren't small either — he has a bit of money — so you don't need to worry about his safety.

In America, the rich have far more safety guarantees than ordinary people! Not to mention, he seems to have deep ties with the Fuzhou Gang in Los Angeles!"

Yuan Jie thought for a moment and said, "Chairman Lin, have you ever heard of the Head-Dropping Technique?"

Lin Qinghe on the other end of the phone froze for a moment: "Madam Yuan, in this day and age, we must speak of science!"

Yuan Jie didn't hide it either: "Lao Liu, the Tianzi-type leader, secretly plotted against my late husband, and I killed him.

His son Liu Xing knows the Head-Dropping Technique; he can kill invisibly, so he accidentally got away at the time.

Now Liu Xing has already smuggled into North America; I suspect he learned of my nephew A Zu's whereabouts and went there to make a move on him.

So I want to ask Chairman Lin for a favor: guarantee Chen Yaozu's safety.

If possible, also help me find Liu Xing's whereabouts — preferably alive."

She still kept thinking, wanting to investigate clearly whether that blood case back then was really Liu Xing's doing. California's above-board Eastern Chefs Association Chairman Lin Qinghe opened his mouth, but in the end only spat out a single word:

"Good!"

After hanging up, Yuan Jie was just about to call Chen Yaozu to remind him to pay attention to safety during this period, but at that moment a call suddenly came in — a domestic virtual number.

"Who is this?"

"Little Yuan, it's me!"

"Teacher?"

"Do you understand what kind of person your nephew Chen Yaozu is? Have you ever heard before that he has talent or ability in the Metaphysics Divination Feng Shui Ghost-catching aspect?"

Yuan Jie was a bit dumbfounded; what the hell?

She caught the drift — where did they hear that Chen Yaozu knows Metaphysics knowledge and has Divination Feng Shui Ghost-catching skills? The teacher came to her for verification! "Teacher, I've never heard of it, but I can ask him!"

"Good. If he has ability in that aspect, then I have a bit of trouble here and need him to help out!"
