The Tempting Road to Becoming an Official

Chapter 1230



As those two figures came closer.

Chen Fang could finally see clearly.

Turns out they were two men.

Why would two men come to the woods in this pitch dark?

Chen Fang crouched down instinctively.

At this time, one of the tall and thin men looked around, and after making sure no one was around, he asked, "Is everyone here? How many people are estimated?"

The other man had a crew cut.

He said, "I counted, there are roughly over four hundred people, adding the over six hundred from our side, it should be at least over a thousand."

"That's enough."

The tall and thin one responded, then continued, "The specific time for action is at two o'clock in the afternoon the day after tomorrow, remember, the bigger the scene, the better."

The crew cut nodded and said, "Four self-immolators have already been arranged, rest assured, it will definitely be big by then."

Upon hearing the word "self-immolation."

Chen Fang, hiding behind the bushes, felt a chill run down his spine.

At this moment, it seemed the two had finished speaking.

The tall and thin one reached out and touched the crew cut's head.

This gesture was already very strange.

Only to hear the tall and thin one muttering in a low voice, "In the name of Heavenly Phase, may your merits be fulfilled."

The crew cut reached out his hand.

Made a very strange seal.

Replied devoutly, "Thanks to Heavenly Phase for the blessing, may Heavenly Phase live long and prosper."

After this ritual was completed.

The two disappeared into the darkness.

When the tall and thin one uttered the words "Heavenly Phase," Chen Fang realized something.

At this moment.

A bad premonition rose in his heart.

He feared something major was about to happen.

"Heavenly Phase? I feel like I've heard of it somewhere."

At this time.

Song Lanre murmured.

Suddenly, she realized, "Right, Jiang Xiaofan, she said she's a follower of the Heavenly Appearance Sect, she came to Rongjiang City to do something big, once it's done, her merits would be fulfilled."

Chen Fang's heart tightened, he asked, "Jiang Xiaofan said that?"

Song Lanre nodded emphatically, saying, "Yes, she also said the day after tomorrow afternoon, she has to go to Yinjiang County."

Yinjiang County?

Yinjiang County is a subordinate county under Rongjiang City.

Close to the urban area of Rongjiang City.

It's a large county by the mountains and the sea.

Realizing the seriousness of the issue, Chen Fang stood up from the ground and said to Song Lanre, "Let's go, we need to find Jiang Xiaofan."

The two hurried upstairs.

When they pushed open the door, they saw Zhao Yiyi sitting on the sofa.

Jiang Xiaofan was sitting opposite her, holding a paintbrush and moving it across a canvas.

The two took a look.

Zhao Yiyi's portrait had already taken shape.

"Take a look, how's Xiaofan's drawing of me?"

Zhao Yiyi didn't dare move and asked the two.

Chen Fang couldn't wait any longer.

He said to Jiang Xiaofan, "Xiaofan, can you pause for a moment? I need to ask you something."

Xiaofan was quite obedient.

She put down her brush.

"Let me ask you, are you a follower of the Heavenly Appearance Sect?"

Chen Fang asked.

Jiang Xiaofan was stunned for a moment and looked at Song Lanre.

She knew it must have been Song Lanre who told Chen Fang.

However, she didn't hide it and nodded, "I was diagnosed with a terminal illness more than a year ago, and after visiting many hospitals, they all said it was incurable, so a relative introduced me to the Heavenly Appearance Sect and I became a follower, what's wrong?"

So that's the reason.

Chen Fang let out a long sigh of relief.

He sat down across from her and asked, "Lanre told me, are you going to Yinjiang County to do something big the day after tomorrow afternoon?"

Jiang Xiaofan nodded.

She said, "Yes."

"Are you going to participate in self-immolation?"

Chen Fang asked this question directly.

Zhao Yiyi, who was unaware, was stunned upon hearing this question and looked at Jiang Xiaofan in disbelief.

Her expression remained calm as before, shaking her head, she said, "It's not self-immolation, it's a sacrifice, I want to atone with my own body, that way, I can escape the current pain and have my merits fulfilled, to reach Heavenly Phase."

Bang!

It felt like a blow to the head.

All three were dumbfounded.

Such a cruel thing as self-immolation, in her words, seemed as simple as doing a trivial matter.

And judging from her expectant expression, it seemed she truly believed this was a sacred act.

"Do you know where in Yinjiang County?"

Chen Fang continued to ask.

Jiang Xiaofan thought for a moment.

She said, "Seems like it's the courtyard of the county public security bureau, Heavenly Phase said that place is full of filth and sin, we need to cleanse the devils through sacrifice."

Public security bureau?

What does this mean?

This implies the Heavenly Appearance Sect is planning to confront the government.

Suddenly, a person came to Chen Fang's mind.

Who?

Wen Mei!

Currently, Wen Mei is the Political Commissar of the Yinjiang County Public Security Bureau.

He didn't have time to think much.

He went into another room.

Took out his phone directly.

Made a call.

After all, it was late.

The call took a while to be answered.

A drowsy voice came through, saying, "Hello, what's up? Calling me so late?"

"Meimei, let me ask you, has the Yinjiang County Public Security Bureau recently arrested anyone with a special identity? Or have you been cracking down on any cults lately?"

Chen Fang asked urgently.

On the other end, Wen Mei was evidently awake by now.

She paused and said, "You said special identity, seems like no, but in terms of cults, we did catch someone related, around two days ago, arrested a rapist, the person who reported said he used the guise of preaching to commit rape, he's being detained by the criminal police team, why?"

"The day after tomorrow at two in the afternoon, possibly over a thousand people will storm the Yinjiang County Public Security Bureau, you must prepare immediately."

"What did you say?"

Chen Fang's words made Wen Mei's voice rise by eight decibels.

Clearly.

She had some disbelief in such news.

After all, nothing like this had ever happened before.

For over a thousand people to storm a public security bureau, how severe would that be.

"I'm not joking, nor trying to scare you, you must report this to the higher-ups immediately, I'll also make decisions here without delay, understood?"

Wen Mei believed Chen Fang's words.

She was startled for a second and then said, "Got it, I'll report to the director right now."

After hanging up the call.

Chen Fang's anxious heart was slightly soothed.

Returned to the living room.

He glanced at the innocent-faced Jiang Xiaofan opposite him.

Trying to calm his emotions.

Said, "Xiaofan, can you tell me, what illness do you have?"

Xiaofan nodded, and in a very relaxed tone, said, "Stomach cancer."

Those two words were heavy.

Pressing down on them, making it a bit hard to breathe.

Chen Fang continued to ask, "I've studied traditional Chinese medicine, could I feel your pulse?"

"Of course."

Jiang Xiaofan extended her hand to Chen Fang.

Chen Fang placed three fingers on her wrist.

Carefully examined it for a moment.

Sure enough, she did have stomach cancer, and it was already at an advanced stage.

"How is it? Can it be saved?"

Zhao Yiyi anxiously asked.
