Chapter 11: Zhang Ruipu

Chapter 11: Zhang Ruipu

Zhang Haiyan really didnt care about Zhang Ruipu, and didnt think Zhang Haixias hunch was all that accurate.

Penang was indeed Zhang Ruipus territory, and the plague this time must have caused a lot of damage to him, but using the plague to deal with a specific person was really a little too overdramatic.

Moreover, assassinating Zhang Ruipu was their first mission when they first arrived in Perak, and they had investigated the Flower Reef case several years later. The two missions were set far apart in time, and werent related to each other at all. To insist that they were connected was really too far-fetched.

Zhang Haiyan had his own theory that all the conspiracies and tricks in the world had to be full of flaws, because the people behind them were unreliable. As to why so many conspiracies werent discovered, it was because people didnt know where the conspiracies led to. Most conspiracies were crude, but this crudeness was obscured by the enemies carelessness and lack of awareness.

Zhang Haiyan shook his head to show that he disagreed. The two were silent for a while, and then Zhang Haixia asked, Whyd you stop talking? Are you afraid sensitive topics will come up and it won't end well?

Hmm. Zhang Haiyan nodded.

Since the clues lead to Nanan, why not get on the ship and investigate? When will the ship reach land again? Zhang Haixia asked.

Zhang Haiyan took a big puff of his cigarette, Next week.

Nanan is heading to Xiamen, so if you board the ship and investigate the case, youll have to stay on board for the entire journey and disembark in Xiamen. Zhang Haixia said. The ticket is very expensive, so even if we get the cheapest cabin, we can only afford a one-way ticket at most. In other words, if you arrive in Xiamen, it may be more than a year before you can come back."New novel chapters are published on

Exactly. It doesnt make sense for me to leave.

I think its a good idea. You can go back and check why we havent received our pay, and also meet our godmother. Youre going back to Xiamen to investigate a case, so it doesnt count as a violation, right? If the Southern Archives is gone, then don't come back. Just send me a telegram and we wont have to see each other again.

We made a promise that well go back together. Its weird if I go back alone. Besides, the money belongs to the both of us.

Its also my own idea. From now on, we and Uncle Shrimp will depend on each other and live together. Well work hard and save enough money to come to Xiamen so that we can reunite with you. You can leave without worrying. We wont die without you.

Zhang Haiyan's head reared back even more, as if he had been slapped. He slowly stood up, collected the money, and yelled, Zhang Haixia, what the He rushed to Zhang Haixias room and suddenly found that there was more than one person inside.

In other words, Zhang Haixia wasnt alone, but had a lot of people standing in his room.

These people stood tall and straight without any expressions on their faces. Most of them appeared to be about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old. Their leader was a middle-aged man, who appeared to be checking Zhang Haixias legs.

Zhang Haiyan wasnt afraid of the crowd and stepped forward immediately. He flicked the blades onto his tongue, and said to the middle-aged man, If you like playing with cripples, youll have to get in line.

Zhang Haixia immediately stopped him and shouted, Don't be reckless, Hailou. This is Mr. Zhang Ruipu.

Almost at the same time, all the young people present bent over backwards to avoid the blades, and Zhang Haiyan immediately stopped what he was doing.

The middle-aged man tapped Zhang Haixias legs, shook his head, and got up.

He was a very strong middle-aged man. So strong, in fact, that there was a dazzling light in his eyes that showed he clearly wasnt an ordinary man. When he looked at you, it was as if needles were piercing your body.

I heard that youre investigating things regarding the plague. Zhang Ruipu said. Im here to help.

Tiffanys Notes: I cant remember if the author confirmed this, but Zhang Ruipu might have been in the same generation as Fo Yes grandfather (Zhang Ruitong) because they had the same generation name Rui. Based on how badass they acted, they might just be from the main Zhang family. Or maybe this is all just a coincidence lol.
