Chapter 54: Case Closed

Chapter 54: Case Closed

When Zhang Qishan returned, the Flower Reef case was closed.

Mo Yungao was on the verge of death when he met an extraordinary person. This person didnt seem ordinary and even used his own blood to save Mo Yungao.

Afterwards, Mo Yungao set up his headquarters in Beihai and life went on. The years passed by, but he still couldnt forget about that extraordinary man.

At that time, he asked the extraordinary man if his remarkable abilities were congenital or acquired. When the young man told him they were acquired, Mo Yungao felt that it was unfair. After he gained power, he had obtained many things that he was afraid of losing. As a result, he hoped to meet that extraordinary man again and ask how he had acquired those abilities. It was for this reason that he spread the plague and did whatever it took to force the extraordinary man to appear again.

In order to obtain the same plague that had broken out that year, he studied various materials and hijacked ships in the South Sea in order to dig up a sunken ship by the reef. In the end, he managed to obtain a strain of the Wudou disease.

But the South Sea Archives obstructed his efforts, so he planned the Nanan incident to test the spread of the disease and slaughter the Archives agents.

Zhang Haiyan and Zhang Haiqi were the lucky survivors, and they obtained evidence of Mo Yungaos actions on the train that year.

Changsha defense officer Zhang Qishan went to Beihai, took over Mo Yungaos territory, replaced the soldiers with his own men at lightning speed, and killed the ones Mo Yungao trusted.

After Mo Yungao returned to Beihai from Nanjing, he found that Beihai had undergone a change in leadership. When Zhang Qishan surrounded him at the dock, Mo Yungao fled into the depths of the Guangxi mountains. No one knew what became of him after that.

Mo Yungao was keen on researching nerve gas, which meant that many unnamed corpses were found in his mansion. Several of the corpses were believed to be people from the Zhang family, but their hands were cut off and they were so decomposed that they were unrecognizable.

Now that the story has developed like this, we can breathe a sigh of relief.

Zhang Qishan returned to Changsha, hoping to incorporate Zhang Haiyan and Zhang Haiqi into his defense force and help them rebuild the South Sea Archives. But Zhang Haiyan didnt feel that he could be a soldier. He couldnt bear the weight of the real military uniform, so he rejected the job offer. But he did gain a somewhat formal uniform, so he could be considered a law enforcement officer.

They didnt get to avenge Zhang Haixia since Mo Yungao escaped capture and went deep into the mountains, but there would be a series of follow-up events to wrap it up.

Despite all this, the threat was ultimately lifted. All the plague teams and disease strains were confiscated and burned.

Meanwhile, He Jianxi was looking for Zhang Haiyan in Xiamen. As he was searching, he happened to find Haili Bank and got hired as an assistant there. He was still trying to crack the mystery sketches that Zhang Haixia had left on the money. He Jianxis story has just begun, and these sketches play a very important role in the follow-up story.The source of this content nov(el)bi((n))

But I have to emphasize again that this isnt the time to tell this story.

If you have an understanding of people, fate, and life, you can probably infer what this kind of state was. But Qi Tiezui also knew that people who could have such a life must not be ordinary. It was like killing the one you loved the most in order to get what you wanted most.

When Qi Tiezui checked Zhang Haiyans fortune, all he saw was an unpredictable situation.

Qi Tiezui advised Zhang Haiqi that it was fine is she wanted to die, but she wouldnt have asked him to make a prediction if she really wanted to. Those who asked for their fortune to be told usually still had a desire to live. She wanted a reason to live no matter what that may be, and since she knew what she was looking for, she should go to Southern Xinjiang. People and things changed, so if she suddenly didnt want to die, it was best that she was already on her way to trying to save herself.

In the end, Zhang Haiqi agreed to go to Southern Xinjiang with Zhang Haiyan. They made an agreement not to talk about her illness as they made their way there. They would treat it like they were going on a trip. Zhang Haiqi had no choice but to comply.

Southern Xinjiang covered a vast territory and there were hundreds of thousands of mountains, so it wouldnt be easy to find the patriarch.

If Mo Yungao had to release the plague across the country in order to feel just a glimmer of hope, Zhang Haiyan could only take it one step at a time.

The two prepared enough dry food and money for the journey while Zhang Qishan gave them the customs clearance documents so others could help them along the way. The last two agents of the Southern Archives embarked on the road to find their boss.

At this point, the Flower Reef case was closed and the Southern Xinjiang Potluck case had officially begun.

If we look closely at Qi Tiezuis hexagram, there are still many oddities that can be analyzed.

How would Mo Yungao, He Jianxi, and everyone else interact with each other under fates arrangement?

What was it about the tusi (1), the bride, and the Yi village? What was the real purpose of the mysterious Zhang family? Would they be able to find the patriarch? Why was the truth about Potluck Capital hidden for hundreds of years?

We will slowly watch the events unfold.

TN Notes:

(1) Tusi, often translated as headmen or chieftains, were hereditary tribal leaders recognized as imperial officials by the Yuan, Ming, and Qing dynasties of China. Wiki link here.

Tiffanys Notes: Mwahahaha, this is the end of Flower Reef Case. Its okay if you find the last paragraph a bit confusing because the author is just dropping hints here and there about the next story, which is New Years Special 2018. (Its actually an unfinished story. Can you see the tears running down my face? lol)
