Love letters are not allowed in the exorcism notebook!-Chapter 701 - 124: The Situation is Extremely Grim (Extra - for 800 Monthly Votes)

As the saying goes, in a large forest, there’s every kind of bird, and the same is true for noble families.

There are very few outstanding elites, along with a large number of relatives who are just scraping by—this has always been true of noble families throughout history.

However, unlike the common folk who may face the extinction of their family line due to the inability to find a spouse, noble families have sufficient resources to mass produce outstanding members. Accumulated over many years, they become as sturdy and unshakable as trees with deep roots.

The Yang Family is the most typical representation of this.

Even though the family’s direct lineage was extinguished decades ago, various distant branches scattered abroad have gradually grown and strengthened over the years. 𝚏𝕣𝐞𝗲𝐰𝕖𝐛𝐧𝕠𝕧𝚎𝚕.𝐜𝚘𝗺

There are so many people with the surname Yang in the world, you cannot simply arrest and behead everyone with that surname every time one of them commits a crime.

According to the clues Wang Yunxiao has investigated... or rather, what was reported by Leng Nian, the current Yang Family is openly divided into three factions.

The one with the biggest reputation among them is Yang Qiming, the current Marshal of the Northern Navy. It is said that he is one of the surviving direct descendants of the Yang Family, but for some unknown reason, he bears deep hatred towards the Yang Family and stands in opposition to other members of the Yang clan.

He really kills people, and he does it without any attempt to hide his actions.

Apart from this loyal lapdog of the President, the remaining members of the Yang clan are divided into Northern and Southern factions.

These people don’t dare to publicly appear under the banner of the Yang Family, but they secretly collude with each other, forming two semi-open secret societies.

That is, the "Extensive Knowledge Society" of the North, and the "Ullambana Festival" of the South.

Let’s set aside the Ullambana Festival for now and talk about the Extensive Knowledge Society. Their main business is providing entertainment for the rich and powerful.

In the past, nearly forty percent of brothels, casinos, and opium dens in Tianmen City were under the control of this organization.

It’s not that they didn’t want more, but rather they were suppressed.

After the establishment of the new government, all HDD places were shut down, so they transformed and upgraded, beginning to provide other kinds of services.

For example, Yang Tianyu’s father, Yang Chongshan, operates a business in antique curios.

There are also those specializing in breeding flowers, birds, fish, and insects, acquiring opera troupes, selling jewelry, cars, and household appliances... as long as you can afford it, they can get you anything.

So, seeing Yang Tianyu put on such a naive and innocent front, Wang Yunxiao feels very confused.

Is this a clean individual selected to be sent here for schooling, or a sly old fox with deep schemes and superb acting skills?

He really can’t figure it out.

However, one thing is for sure: Tianmen City is anything but peaceful right now.

Undercurrents are surging outside, and who knows what’s happened.

Qinghe Middle School seems like a tranquil haven, where students can sit in the classroom and study peacefully, without worrying about the storms outside.

In the end, Yang Tianyu did not report to the police, but the police came knocking.

Chen Yuguang came to the school alone.

When Wang Yunxiao saw this guy in Principal Zhou’s office, he almost didn’t recognize him.

Not having seen him for two months, the university graduate from before now looked as haggard as a thirty-year-old office drone.

"Section Chief..."

Before Wang Yunxiao could speak, Chen Yuguang burst into tears: "Director Qin is in critical condition!"

What do you mean by critical condition?

Wang Yunxiao was startled: "Clarify your words. Is it the person or something else that’s in critical condition?"

"Director Qin was seriously injured last night and taken to the hospital for emergency treatment. The doctors say...it all depends on fate whether he can wake up."

Wang Yunxiao frowned at Principal Zhou.

Principal Zhou sighed and said, "I originally had other plans for you, but the current situation is quite dire. The police station will probably have to replace him with you. But I must warn you, if you go out now, both you and the other students will be in danger."

Is it really that serious?

Wang Yunxiao was shocked.

After weighing the situation in his mind for a moment, he said to Chen Yuguang, "I’ll have Youtiao take you to the cafeteria for a meal. Rest a bit, and then we’ll talk later."

After sending Chen Yuguang off, Wang Yunxiao sat down in front of Principal Zhou and asked, "Principal, what exactly is the situation outside?"

"The circumstances are complex, one could say there are internal and external troubles."

Principal Zhou sighed, "You already know about the fourth round of the anti-crime campaign in October, right?"

"I know."

"The feudal dynasty that has existed for thousands of years, although now overthrown, some things are still hard to eradicate in such a short period of time, whether on the surface or in people’s hearts... The previous rounds of action were just superficial solutions, only intended to clear obstacles. But this time, the nation is determined to dig out those deeply rooted elements."

"Those people are not fools; they definitely won’t just sit around and wait for their doom."

"They may not have the courage to carry guns and fight on the battlefield, but they certainly have all the skills when it comes to scheming and plotting in the shadows."

"Now, including the Secretary Bureau and the Special Service Bureau, many powerful departments have joined this operation. Thanks to thorough preparation, the overall situation is still under control, but we must be wary of the enemy’s desperation and resorting to dirty tricks."

"That is the internal trouble."

"As for the external threat, you should also know about the window period. To put it simply, by the end of this year, we will face an unprecedented scale of Temporal Tide disturbance."

"When the time comes, as the flood of time washes over us, not only will the Outer Dimension conflict with the Real World, but the more terrifying issue is that information and objects from future eras will be carried to our point in time."
