nor Ning Jie paid any attention to him and simply walked straight in.The two of them quickly arrived at their villa entrance but didn’t open the door immediately because they suddenly noticed someone...Chapter 1236 Double Purpose with a Single Arrow

Yue Zhi Feng died suddenly, at noon exactly. Someone burst into Windy Yue軒 (a residence), slashed his throat with a knife. Before he could be sent to the hospital, Yue Zhi Feng had already passed away on the way. After that, although there was an hour-long symbolic resuscitation in the hospital, it ultimately announced his death.

When the hospital declared Yue Zhi Feng's death, news of his demise had already spread across all major and minor clans in the capital city as well as throughout various sectors. To put it not too exaggeratedly, this piece of news shook the entire capital city. However, the first question that everyone pondered was not who the killer might be but how to break the news to Old Man Yue.

Old Man Yue, in his nineties, had high prestige both within political circles and military ranks. Although he hadn't held any official positions for a long time nor wielded real power, what he said could still get many high-ranking officials and politicians to act upon it. It was precisely due to this that Yue Zhi Feng became the first prince of the capital city back then, and even now remained influential in the capital city enough to make the Four Great Families wary of him.

Yue Zhi Feng obviously understood Old Man Yue's significance at that time, which is why he tried his best to prolong his life. This was how he came to know Yi Xiaoyin, and indeed, as the first goddess doctor in the capital city, she had kept Old Man Yue in great health. Before the New Year many people had seen Old Man Yue and believed him capable of living another three or five years without a problem.

But no one could have imagined that while Old Man Yue was still healthy, it was Yue Zhi Feng who died first. This news left everyone at a loss as to how to break the news to Old Man Yue, and nobody knew if he would be able to withstand such a blow.

In the end, after much discussion, they decided to invite Yi Xiaoyin back to the capital city first. Once she arrived, they could then tell Old Man Yue about Yue Zhi Feng's death. In case Old Man Yue couldn't handle the shock, Yi Xiaoyin would be able to provide emergency care.

At this moment, everyone also realized something important: there was a divine doctor nearby. If Yi Xiaoyin hadn't left the capital city, she might have been able to save Ye Zhifeng. Thinking about it, they all made another decision: they must find a way to keep Yi Xiaoyin in the capital city. Otherwise, if any of them fell seriously ill or met with an assassination like Ye Zhifeng did, they might still have a chance at survival.

After deciding how to inform Old Mr. Ye about this unfortunate news, everyone began considering who the murderer could be. Without exception, the first person that came to mind for all of them was Xia Tian.

The recent conflict between Ye Zhifeng and Xia Tian in the capital city was no secret, and it was well known among everyone that the cause of this conflict was a woman—someone very beautiful and extremely important to Ye Zhifeng. This woman now also seemed crucial to them all: none other than the number one goddess doctor of the capital city, Yi Xiaoyin.

Although they didn't know exactly what had transpired between Ye Zhifeng and Xia Tian, everyone had heard about how Xia Tian's private jet was attacked by a fighter plane while he was leaving the capital. It was said that this incident was orchestrated by Ye Zhifeng; however, it was also rumored that despite the attack, Xia Tian managed to survive with his plane intact, whereas somehow he caused the fighter plane to crash.

Of course, these details weren't important for everyone involved. What mattered most was that only a few days ago, Ye Zhifeng had attempted to kill Xia Tian, and now Ye Zhifeng himself was dead. Therefore, Xia Tian naturally became the prime suspect.

Furthermore, Ye Zhifeng wasn’t an ordinary person—he was powerful and Feng Yue軒 (Feng Yuezhuang)【Note: It seems this part might be a typo or mistranslation in the original text as "風嶽軒" doesn't directly refer to anyone specific based on the context provided. I translated it as is, keeping in mind that "嶽之風" and "嶽老爺子" have been mentioned previously.] wasn’t unprepared; killing him wouldn’t be an easy task for a normal person. However, Xia Tian undoubtedly had the capability.

However, everyone quickly discovered something: Xia Tian was currently in Sichuan City, with countless witnesses and videos proving that when Ye Zhifeng was killed, Xia Tian was actually beating someone up at Sichuan Square. This meant that the person who carried out the murder could not have been Xia Tian—regardless of whether or not it was Xia Tian's intention for Ye Zhifeng to die, he hadn’t done so himself.

But, apart from the summer, who else would dare to kill Yue Zhi Feng

This afternoon, almost all of the Beijing police force was mobilized for this case. The state security and military departments also sent people to participate in the investigation. The murderer was quickly identified as a man wearing gray robes; however, no one knew his name.

Although both the Beijing police and the state security were busy, and there were agents from the military involved in the investigation, the strongest special operations organization, the Dark Team, remained silent this time. The reason for their absence was simple: to avoid suspicion, as the leader of the Dark Team, Xia Tian himself was the biggest suspect. Even though the murderer had been confirmed, many people still believed that there was a connection between him and Xia Tian's actions. As such, the Dark Team chose not to participate in the investigation to prevent any speculations.

At this moment, within the Dark Team's base, Mu Han and Mei Er were quite idle. They were taking a walk inside the base, but their appearance of leisure was actually a cover for discussing matters.

"The murderer hasn't been caught yet" Mei Er asked softly.

"Not yet, but it should be soon," Mu Han replied.

"Has he told you who the actual killer is" Mei Er naturally knew that Yue Zhi Feng's death was planned secretly by Xia Tian. However, up until now, she didn't know who exactly Xia Tian had sent to kill Yue Zhi Feng.

"No, my husband said he would give me a surprise," Mu Han shook her head. "He also mentioned something about killing two birds with one stone, but I still don't understand how."

Mu Han paused and took out her phone to find a photo which she then showed to Mei Er: "Look, this is the person he's talking about. However, I don’t know him personally, and we don’t have any records of him in our Dark Team’s database either."

"This man's attire seems strange, it looks like an ash-colored robe" Mei Er frowned slightly. "An ash-colored robe... Could this be him"

"Mei Er, do you know who he is" Mu Han was a little surprised.

"That pervert told me some things about cultivators recently; he mentioned an ash-robed man named Yuan Tianzheng. He said that the man belonged to the Yuan family but I'm not sure if this is him. However, Yuan Tianzheng should be his enemy, right The pervert also once told me that Yuan Tianzheng had already been crippled by him," Mei Er was somewhat puzzled as she clearly couldn't figure out what exactly was going on.

"Yuan Tianzheng from the Yuan family" Mu Han paused for a moment before her eyes lit up. "Mei Er, it seems like you guessed correctly; he should be this ash-robed man. The so-called killing two birds with one stone turns out to mean that Husband wants Yuan Tianzheng to kill Yue Zhi Feng. After Yue Zhi Feng is done for, the Yuan family will surely meet their demise too. So my husband doesn’t need to do anything himself and he can solve these two problems!"

"I'm only guessing here; I've never met Yuan Tianzheng," Mei Er shook her head and then suggested, "Why don't you just ask him"

Mu Han thought for a moment and then shook her head: "Forget it, my husband must have his plans. Let's just wait here for news."

Pausing, she smiled gently at Meier: "If you really want to know, give your husband a call. If he receives your call, he'll be very happy and will tell you everything."

"I wouldn't call that guy!" Meier snorted lightly; that lecherous wolf would only become more presumptuous if she called him herself, making him think she wanted to throw herself into his arms.

Just as they were talking, Meier's phone rang. She took out her phone and looked at it before answering: "Uncle Zhao, is there something wrong"

A few minutes later, Meier hung up the call and stared at Mu Han with a rather strange look: "Uncle Zhao said that when the police were pursuing the killer, they suffered heavy losses. National Security and military personnel also had significant casualties. Now, they are asking for our Dark Team's help!"

"If that person is truly an immortal cultivator, it's not surprising that they would suffer such great losses." Mu Han nodded.

However, "According to what the lecherous wolf said, even if it's just us two, we might not be a match for that Yuan Tianzheng!" Meier frowned slightly. "If other members of our Dark Team were to go, they would likely suffer heavy losses as well. I think we need to consider this carefully."

"It seems I have to ask my husband how he plans to handle this." After some thought, Mu Han finally picked up her phone and dialed Xia Tian's number.

A short while later, Mu Han hung up the phone and looked at Meier: "My husband says we don't need to worry about this matter. We just need to stay within the Dark Team."

"What is he up to" Meier appeared slightly dissatisfied.

But right then, Meier's phone rang again.

"Uncle Zhao... oh Okay, I understand." Meier answered the call and hung up after a short while. She then looked at Mu Han: "We really don't need to go anywhere; Yuan Tianzheng has already been apprehended."

"Who caught him" Mu Han was somewhat puzzled.

"Song Yumei." Meier seemed a bit displeased, "According to Uncle Zhao, Song Yumei appeared like an ethereal fairy and struck Yuan Tianzheng with one palm, causing him to spit blood. She then apprehended Yuan Tianzheng. It looks like Miss Song intends for everyone to change their perception of her this time."her strongest weapons in accomplishing tasks."Hey, you guys are really loud. You brought me here for something, can't you just get to the point" Xia Tian spoke up at this moment.Hearing Xia Tian’s wor...
