Yu Su reminded him of some things to take note of before hanging up.
She looked at Ruan Dong and said, “There’s going to be a good show tonight. The mastermind might appear. When the time comes, I need you to identify him.”
“That’s not a problem. I’m free tonight!” Ruan Dong promised. “If you need anything, come to my office anytime.”
After saying that, the two of them parted ways and Yu Su went back for dinner.
At seven in the evening, Yu Su sat in front of her computer and pulled up the surveillance camera in the corridor of Hu Rui’s ward, preparing to check the other party’s appearance through the surveillance camera.
Ten minutes later, Hu Ying appeared in the surveillance footage.
Hu Ying led the way. Behind her was an old man in simple clothes, and behind them were two middle-aged men.
With just a glance, Yu Su knew that the two of them were metaphysical masters.
This old man was probably related to the mastermind behind him.
The faces of the three of them appeared on the surveillance footage. Yu Su quickly took a screenshot and saved it before taking a taxi to look for Ruan Dong.
After Yu Su entered, she took out her tablet and showed Ruan Dong the screenshot.
“Do you know these three people?” Yu Su asked.
Ruan Dong was slightly surprised. “This old man is the honorary chairman of the Daoist a.s.sociation, Master Peng Chan. He controls all the affairs of the a.s.sociation and has a lot of power. Behind him are his two disciples, Devotee Mingda and Devotee Ruoshui.”
He was quite familiar with these three people.
The Metaphysics Management Office would sometimes arrest people together with the Daoist a.s.sociation. Devotee Ruoshui was the one who dealt with him the most.
Devotee Mingda had an arrogant personality and was not easy to come into contact with.
Devotee Ruoshui was kinder, so the people from the Metaphysics Management Office liked to interact with Devotee Ruoshui.
What surprised Ruan Dong the most was that the chairman of the Daoist a.s.sociation would actually partic.i.p.ate in the Hu family’s matters. What did Hu Rui’s poisoning have to do with the chairman?
Yu Su was also a little surprised. “This person is the chairman of the Daoist a.s.sociation?”
“Yes!” Ruan Dong looked at the picture again and nodded firmly.
He was very familiar with Master Peng Chan. His family attended Master Peng’s lectures almost every year. Ruan Dong had also been there a few times.
Yu Su asked again, “Is there anything different about his appearance from before?”
Ruan Dong took a closer look before answering, “Master Peng seems to have aged a little, and his spirit is not as good as before. His sideburns are a little gray, and his back is a little hunched. The rest is fine.”
Perhaps it was because he was old!
However, Yu Su did not think so. This person was very strong. Logically speaking, he should not be so old.
If he had not deliberately pretended to be like this to attract Yu Su’s attention, it would be because after he had suffered a backlash, the magic power and luck in his body were chaotic, causing his bodily functions to decrease.
Ruan Dong could not help but ask, “Could that mastermind be Master Peng? If that’s the case, things will be troublesome.”
The chairman of the Daoist a.s.sociation had actually set up such a huge trap and even used any means to steal luck.
Wasn’t this terrifying?
“I’m not completely confident that it’s him. I need more evidence, but even if it’s not him, that person’s ident.i.ty must not be lower than his.”
Yu Su had already expected this outcome and was not too surprised.
After all, if he did not have much power, he would not be able to do so many heaven-defying things.
Ruan Dong was a little nervous. “He has a very high status in the hearts of the believers. He also holds many rights in the Daoist a.s.sociation and is even quite prestigious among the metaphysical masters. If we rashly deal with him, we will definitely encounter layers of obstacles.”
He wasn’t afraid. He just felt that it was very troublesome.
The Daoist a.s.sociation had a very high status in Chinatown. Almost 80% of the residents supported the Daoist a.s.sociation. If they rashly confronted them, it might have a bad impact.
Most importantly, Peng Chan was a metaphysical master who has achieved the perfected realm.
Yu Su smiled and asked, “If it’s really him, will your Metaphysics Management Office still dare to bring him to justice?”
If they were going to arrest him, they would definitely encounter all kinds of trouble. Ruan Dong might even lose his position as the minister.
Ordinary people would choose to protect themselves!
Ruan Dong immediately said, “Of course. As long as we find concrete evidence, no matter how high that person’s status or how strong he is, our Metaphysics Management Office will definitely handle the case impartially.”
Otherwise, the Metaphysics Management Office would just be a decoration..
