Volume 3 Winter Solstice Chapter 43: Provocation
Jiang You stood up straight. Facing Tang Butian's inquiring eyes, he said, "How would I know? You have to ask Zhuang Zekun."
Jiang Mo let go of his hand, Zhao Cai jumped to the ground, and then jumped onto Tang Butian's desk.
"Chief, the technical department is looking for me. I'll go over first?" Sun Yu asked Tang Butian.
Tang Butian nodded slightly.
After Sun Woo walked out of the office, Kang You picked up Kang Mal.
He sat back in his computer chair and turned it half a circle, facing Tang Butian. "He is much smarter than Guan Nuo."
"I gave him the health-preserving technique."
"Can you become a martial arts master?"
Tang Butian thought for a moment and said, "I can stay up late more easily."
"Then I want to practice too. I feel like I don't have enough time every day. I've been stuck at level 1254 in Candy Crush for several days..."

Zhuang Zekun took Guan Nuo to a Cantonese restaurant near the Public Security Bureau.
After ordering the dishes, Zhuang Zekun looked at Guan Nuo and asked, "How is it? Can you adapt?"
"Yes, everyone is very nice to me."
"Then I feel relieved."
"That's it..." Guan Nuo hesitated.
"What is it?"
"I think that the Special Operations Department will wait until something happens and then solve it. It is a passive way of working. If we can be more proactive, we can prevent tragedies from happening."
The grilled beef ribs were served.
"Eat first." Zhuang Zekun motioned Guan Nuo to pick up some food.
Guan Nuo picked up a piece of beef ribs and took a bite. "If I have to be passive every time, how can I..."
"When I was in the Special Branch, we would patrol the various areas regularly."
"Really?"
"Really, at that time, there were more than 20 people stationed in the department, and each area had a fixed person in charge..." Zhuang Zekun recalled, "In the beginning, the people in the mountains looked down on us and called us miscellaneous soldiers. We also looked down on them. If we only know how to practice but cannot benefit mankind, what's the point of being powerful?"
Guan Nuo's eyes showed longing.

"What did you ask Lei Yao?" Tang Butian interrupted Jiang You's fantasy of 30 hours of entertainment time a day.
"Quite a lot. The unlucky Luo Chengyuan died, which may have led to the intensification of their internal conflicts. Sun Xiu seems to be stuck somewhere now. A man named Huang Hu may have some old grudges with Luo Chengyuan, so he jumped out. The Luotian Dajiao incident was probably planned by him. He is now in Tangjiang. I am more curious about the relationship between Zhuang Zekun and him."
"Zhuang Zekun? What did he do?"
"It would be strange if he didn't do anything in the past ten years, right?" Jiang You grabbed Jiang Mo's hands and waved them a few times. "I thought about it for a while. Zhuang Zekun probably wanted to use the Luotian Dajiao to expose their attempt to steal the truth. This is not just Baihe Temple's business. After investigating, the mountain will definitely not sit idly by, right? You are the head of the special operation team who came down from the mountain."
"Zhuang Zekun mentioned this matter at the meeting today."
"We arranged for Guan Nuo to join the Special Operations Department. His identity is that he wants to investigate his father's affairs. This can legitimately integrate Zhuang Zekun's past forces once again. And it just so happens that right after he joined the Special Operations Department, a fierce ghost came to him. We can follow the clues and slowly investigate further, and it will be connected to the matter of the statue."
"Was all this arranged by Zhuang Zekun?"
"Maybe it's fate." Jiang You felt a little thirsty. He pushed Jiang Mo's shoulder and said, "Get me a can of Coke. Hurry up."
Jiang Mo looked at the recruitment.
Zhaocai looked at Tang Butian.
A few seconds later, Zhao jumped off the desk, slowly walked under the desk, stretched out his claws, and tried hard to pull out a can of Coke.
Jiang Mo stretched out his hand.
Zhaocai stood up, held the Coke with his two front paws and put it in Jiang Mo's hands.
Jiang You took the can of Coke from Jiang Mo, unfastened the ring, and took a sip. "After Zhuang Zekun left the Special Operations Department, the people in charge of the Special Operations Department in Tangjiang City were all from the mountains."
Zhao Cai then coiled up at Jiang You's feet.
"Zhuang Zekun facilitated this."
Jiang You looked out the window. "He saved Tang Jiang. Sun Xiu originally wanted to come in through normal channels and gradually remove his influence in Tang Jiang."
"How do I wash it?"
"This detailed account could take up several million words," Jiang You brought the topic back to the topic. "According to Zhuang Zekun's plan, after five or six years, Guan Nuo has grown up, and the chess pieces he has laid for more than ten years have been uncovered one by one. He takes advantage of the other party's internal strife and finally joins forces with the outside world..."
Jiang You touched Jiang Mo's hair. Jiang Mo shook his head, then stood up, squatted down, stretched out his finger and poked Zhaocai's forehead.
"It's a brilliant plan, isn't it?"
"Will it work?"
"Who knows, but I have a question," Jiang You stood up and walked in front of Tang Butian, "No matter how you deduce it, Guan Nuo will face it in the end."
He took out his phone, found the photo of the statue, and pointed the screen at Tang Butian, "Who will take care of it?"
Tang Butian looked at the white statue on the screen.
"Zhuang Zekun? He couldn't handle it thirteen years ago. In the past thirteen years, it must have eaten well every day. Guan Nuo? Can he be persuaded by talking nonsense?" Jiang You lowered his head and looked into Tang Butian's eyes. "His old subordinates are even less worth mentioning. No matter how I think about it, I feel that you have to fill this hole."
"And you."
"I am not in Zhuang Zekun's plan."
Tang Butian pursed her lips and picked up the wooden scimitar placed inside the office. "I got this sword from the sword tomb."
“This is a knife.”
"Its previous owner, according to legend, killed a god."
"The kind with a compilation?"
Tang Butian put down the wooden sword, "I don't know, it's just a legend. It's very convenient to use."
"No wonder I asked you to go down the mountain," Jiang You took back his phone. He took a step back, pulled the computer chair to the opposite side of Tang Butian and sat down. "I have to find its body before I can completely get rid of it."
Tang Butian looked at him suspiciously, "You want to help Zhuang Zekun?"
"I have no choice. Look at Lei Yao. She broke into my yard in broad daylight and I couldn't kill her. Otherwise, Jiang Yunxian and Huang Hu would come to me one after another. How can I run a business like this?"
"You have a way to make her die without knowing it." Tang Butian exposed Jiang You.
"If Zhuang Zekun's plan succeeds, the Special Operations Department will be named Guan instead of Tang."
"It doesn't make any sense. In two years , I'll be back in the mountains."
"If he can trick you into going down the mountain, he can also prevent you from going up the mountain," Jiang You reached out and picked up the wooden sword. He waved it, "I think I should also get a cooler weapon. How about a mace?"
"You asked me to recruit someone."
"Whether I let you recruit or not, Guan Nuo will be stuffed in."
"I will be better than him."
"I'm sure of this," Jiang You took a sip of Coke, "I need you to help me hold Zhuang Zekun back for a while, like going to Laojin Mountain to collect some wind for a few days or something like that."
"good."
" I'll bring you some local specialties."
