Chapter 1623: It Has Nothing to Do With Me

"Let them resolve it internally," Chen Yu said indifferently. "The people of Huaxia will have their moments of unity, but before they awaken, they must go through something, right?"

"That's true, but right now..." Chuan Naizi said, taking out several photographs and placing them on the table. "Those qualified to succeed as the president of the Chinese Association are all dying in accidents, one after another."

"Expected," Chen Yu glanced at the photos.

"Zhou Jinguo, male, fifty-two years old, a member of the Chinese Association Council, died in a car accident a few days ago."

Chuan Naizi picked up the photos and flipped through them one by one. "Liu Jin, also a member of the Chinese Association Council, suffocated while swimming, and there's more..."

"Why are you telling me this?" Chen Yu looked at her with a puzzled expression. "You don't think these things have anything to do with me, do you?"

"I have reason to suspect it might have something to do with you, but I also feel it's unlikely," Chuan Naizi said. "Because if you wanted to be president, you wouldn't have refused back then."

"But what if I'm just an outsider, and I'm afraid that if I become president directly, some people won't be convinced, so I secretly eliminate those who might threaten my position?" Chen Yu smiled slightly.

Chuan Naizi was slightly stunned, her expression changing. She glared at Chen Yu. "Now that you mention it, that's not impossible."

"Haha, just a joke," Chen Yu laughed. "I disdain doing such things. Even if I wanted to be president and someone wasn't convinced, I would find a way to make them convinced."

"Right, you have your pride. I don't think you could do such low-life things," Chuan Naizi nodded, then her brows furrowed slightly. "But who could be doing these things?"

"Why don't you cast your suspicious gaze on Huang Hong and his son?" Chen Yu glanced at her and said. "Do you really think Huang Hong and his son are honest businessmen?"

"Aren't they?" The expression on Chuan Naizi's face changed slightly.

"Absolutely not. Do you know the reason for the conflict between him and Qishu?" Chen Yu asked.

"Qishu is a poisoner. To survive in Chinatown, he has to curry favor with Huang Hong. The reason for their conflict is likely an uneven split of the spoils, right?" Chuan Naizi organized her thoughts and said.

"That's not it," Chen Yu shook his head. "He thinks Qishu has found a way to achieve immortality."

"Immortality? Is there such a thing as immortality in this world?" Chuan Naizi almost laughed. She scoffed at such a claim; she simply did not believe that people could not age.

"I heard that Huang Hong's father hired a fangshi and is researching the method of immortality," Chen Yu said indifferently. "And judging from various summaries, the fangshi he found is mostly from the Evil Path, so do you think they are normal people?"

Chen Yu's words made Chuan Naizi's expression turn grave. After a long while, she said, "But what does that have to do with the Chinese Association?"

"It has a lot to do with it," Chen Yu said indifferently. "People of the Evil Path use many strange things to refine the Longevity Pill. These things are highly likely to be human organs. If Huang Hong were still the president of the Chinese Association, it would be very easy to find those things."

"So he doesn't want to lose this position. Now that those qualified to succeed as president are dying one by one, I think that is likely the reason."

"Is it really the work of the Huang Family father and son? Do you have evidence?" Chuan Naizi stood up abruptly.

So many people dying unnatural deaths was a significant pressure for her, and it would be best if she could solve the case as soon as possible.

"No evidence, I'm guessing, but I think the facts are about the same as what I guessed," Chen Yu smiled and said. "Since the Huang Family father and son dare to do this, they certainly won't leave any major handles for themselves. However, there is no wall that doesn't let the wind through in this world. If you go and investigate, you will find out many things."

"Okay," Chuan Naizi nodded seriously. Then she pondered for a moment and asked Chen Yu, "Who do you think their next target will be?"

"Of course, it's Qishu. Look, the people on the list are almost all dead, and the most qualified person to be president is only Qishu left," Chen Yu smiled slightly. "So don't doubt it, their next target is Qishu."

"Then let's go protect Qishu quickly," Chuan Naizi's expression changed.

"That's your police's business," Chen Yu spread his hands. "The public security in your Fusang has become so poor, what do you want me to say?"

"Isn't Qishu your man?" Chuan Naizi stared at Chen Yu, itching with hatred.

"We are just acquaintances, and I have already warned him to be careful. As for other things, let fate decide. If your police are any slower, the last person qualified to serve as president of the Chinese Association will be gone," Chen Yu laughed.

"We can install one of our own people." Chuan Naizi felt a surge of anger at Chen Yu's indifferent attitude.

"Do you really think the Chinese are just decorations? If you install one of your own, it will probably cause social unrest immediately," Chen Yu glanced at her and said. "Otherwise, why would you have waited until now?"

Chuan Naizi was rendered speechless. Indeed, the path she mentioned was simply unfeasible; otherwise, someone would have been installed long ago.

"Alright, I won't tease you anymore. I have my own arrangements for Qishu, you don't need to worry about it, he will be fine." Seeing her helpless expression, Chen Yu didn't want to deceive her anymore and smiled slightly.

"Is teasing me fun?" Chuan Naizi glared at Chen Yu, only then realizing she had been played.

"Did you ask me out just for this trivial matter?" Chen Yu put the photos away and returned them to Chuan Naizi. "My time is very precious."

"Has there been any progress on the Heart-Devouring Ghost matter recently?" Chuan Naizi paused. "Although there haven't been any new death cases recently, I don't think this matter can be easily abandoned."

"Finding some small fries is meaningless," Chen Yu said indifferently. "If you don't find the right timing to catch the mastermind behind that thing, they will continue to emerge endlessly."

"Then do you have any leads now?" Chuan Naizi asked expectantly.

"No leads at all, just waiting for an opportunity," Chen Yu laughed.

"Waiting for what opportunity?" Chuan Naizi was truly anxious; she hated it when people spoke in half-truths.

"An opportunity to force out their leader. This thing is controlled by Shuten-doji, so it's troublesome to trace it back," Chen Yu said. "A main body will continuously derive, and it's impossible to cut it off without severing the root."

"Besides, don't take this matter to heart; it's not something an ordinary person like you can solve."
