Fangzheng smiled. “Amitabha. Patron, since you do not wish for This Penniless Monk to talk about Patron Wu’s matters, This Penniless Monk will talk about your matters. Yang Xu. Male. 31 years old. Nicknamed Xizi. Core leader of Flowershadow Syndicate…”
“You shut up!” Yang Xu trembled when he heard that. He originally imagined that Fangzheng would have only investigated Wu Yue’e and Lin Wenlong’s past, but to his surprise, the monk had also exposed his background!
His real name, Yang Xu, hadn’t been used for a very long time. Even he had nearly forgotten it. This was because this was the name his parents had given him. Ever since he left home, he changed his name to Yang Wan, hoping that the name would make him known to thousands 1 .
His real name wasn’t known by anyone around him, not even by the core members of the Flowershadow Syndicate! Therefore, the moment Fangzheng said it out loud, he felt like he’d been struck by lightning. He roared to get Fangzheng to shut up because he was afraid! He was afraid of this monk who seemed to be omniscient and of how he could expose everything about his past. His past was stained with blood. It couldn’t be exposed in any way.
However, Fangzheng couldn’t be bothered with Yang Xu. He continued. “Patron, are you afraid of facing your past now? Then, do you still remember the people that died because of you? Chen Bin, w.a.n.g Huiyong, Luo Fen, Sun Chang…”
One name after another was revealed by Fangzheng as his expression grew darker. He originally imagined that the trio were just thugs who were there to cause a disturbance, but when he looked at them with his Wisdom Eye and Dharma Eye, he actually saw living devils!
Every name that was announced left Yang Xu trembling. He looked at Fangzheng like he was a monster. But soon, Yang Xu calmed down and listened to Fangzheng as though those people had nothing to do with him. It was as if he hadn’t heard of them before.
By the time Fangzheng finished reciting all the names, Yang Xu had completely calmed down. He curled his lips and said, “I have to say that for a monk, you are great at fabricating stories. You are even better at sullying others. Although I have no idea who those people you mentioned were or what your goal for saying that is, I have to say that my name isn’t Yang Xu.”
Upon hearing that, Lin Wenlong and Wu Yue’e, who were somewhat panic-stricken, calmed down as well. They had been shocked by Fangzheng’s sudden exposure of their past. They had been momentarily fl.u.s.tered, but now, with Yang Xu’s lead, they calmed down again.
At the same time, upon hearing these words, the two policemen who were looking suspiciously at Yang Xu also looked at Fangzheng with a puzzled look. They were unable to determine if what Fangzheng had said was the truth.
Upon seeing that the situation was under control, Yang Xu calmly looked at Fangzheng and said, “Abbot Fangzheng, I’m not an educated man, so I don’t know much. But there’s one thing I do understand. Every person has to be responsible with what they say. After saying so much, do you have the evidence to prove what you said?”
Lin Wenlong added. “That’s right. To use randomly fabricated stories as evidence. Isn’t that too much of a joke?”
Wu Yue’e was just about to speak when he heard Fangzheng chuckle lightly. “You want evidence?”
“Yes!” Wu Yue’e immediately said.
Fangzheng suddenly wiped his smile off his face and flicked his sleeves. He gently raised his head as his eyes flashed like lightning as though Buddha had descended upon the mortal world to judge mortals. He directly said to the two policemen. “Patrons, please check their ident.i.ties and see what their names are.”
The two policemen were taken aback, never expecting they would become the center of the stage.
However, the two were already on Fangzheng’s side, so they immediately went forward and said, “Please show us your ident.i.ty cards.”
Lin Wenlong and company sneered in the depths of their eyes as they took out three ident.i.ty cards without showing any signs of panic.
When the policemen took them and looked at them, one of them shook his head and said, “Abbot Fangzheng, one of them is named Huang Yun, the other Liu Yan, and the last is named Zhang Bing. They aren’t the people you were talking about.”
Fangzheng p.r.i.c.ked up his brows, never having expected the three would have come prepared with fake ident.i.ty cards. However, this didn’t matter. He activated his Wisdom Eye with his Dharma Eye, and indeed, more information was exposed.
Fangzheng said, “Those IDs are fake. They were made just three days ago. The person who created the ident.i.ty card is named Ma Qiang. His telephone number is 138********. His address is Songwu County, 375 West River Street. You can send people there to take a look.”
Upon hearing that, Yang Xu, Lin Wenlong, and Wu Yue’e tensed up. They looked at Fangzheng as though he was a monster. They thought, “How does he know this?”
The two policemen were in a dilemma when they heard that. Although Fangzheng was famous, the police weren’t his attendants who helped watch over the monastery. To investigate someone just based on his words? Who was he? If they were to really do that, it would be fine if something was found, but if Fangzheng’s words couldn’t be verified, they would be embarra.s.sed.
“Alright! I’ll investigate him!” At this moment, a female voice sounded.
The two policemen were taken aback as they saw a female police officer wave her hands at them. The two, as well as Fangzheng, instantly recognized her. She was none other than the policewoman who had previously handled the Ganfanpen case, Bao Yuluo.
The two policemen frowned, thinking, “Why is this la.s.s joining the fray? How can the police take random sides?”
However, they didn’t say a word since she wasn’t under their jurisdiction. Besides, they were also curious to find out if Fangzheng was really omniscient or just randomly shooting off his mouth. Hence, the two didn’t say a word.
After Bao Yuluo finished speaking, she made a phone call. The person on the other end of the line was quick to react. Soon, they found the storefront which claimed to make keys but secretly produced fake identification cards. Furthermore, they found plenty of equipment used to ma.s.s produce fake IDs… The boss was quite a coward. Once the police said the names of Yang Xu and company, he immediately admitted to it, even telling them the exact time they had ordered the IDs and how much money they had spent.
And this process only took 20 minutes!
Upon hearing the confirmation on the other side of the phone, the two policemen subconsciously looked at Yang Xu, Lin Wenlong, and Wu Yue’e. Almost at the same time, Yang Xu shouted. “Move!”
Lin Wenlong suddenly turned and pounced onto Bao Yuluo who had started walking over. He grabbed her shoulder in a bid to make her his hostage! But Bao Yuluo suddenly crouched down, locked his hands, turned around, and took a step forward. With a bend of her back, she flipped him over!
Bam!
Lin Wenlong felt the world spin around him as he was slammed into the ground by Bao Yuluo. Then, Bao Yuluo quickly twisted his arm and pressed him down to the ground.
At the same time, Wu Yue’e pounced towards Fangzheng, thinking, “This monk has such supple skin and tender flesh. He’s definitely lacking in strength. He’s the best hostage!”
Indeed, after Wu Yue’e grabbed Fangzheng, she did manage to pull out a knife and hold it to Fangzheng’s neck. She then shouted. “Stop!”
