Chapter 1259: Cai Heizi's Nefarious Scheme, Triggering the Fall (10k)

Wen Yan started to somewhat understand why the General Director said that the Ancient Dream wasn’t entirely negative, and even the Old Celestial Master would enter the Ancient Dream.

At least now he felt quite happy, especially seeing himself from those years ago from a third person’s perspective, he could still feel the pure joy of that time.

He merely entered it briefly, but it seemed like his mind and spirit were healed, and the gloom seemed to have mostly dissipated.

Indeed, he didn’t suffer direct harm last night, but based on his current feelings, he was still affected, a veil of gloom covered his heart.

And at this moment, this layer of gloom also dissipated mostly with a journey into the Ancient Dream, and the remaining part is continuously fading away.

It seems the speculation wasn’t wrong, the other party wasn’t aiming to take his life in one go, but to influence him.

Whether one has the ability is one thing, doing it this way is another, and the latter is obviously more cost-effective and lower in risk.

Just a harmless probe would not trigger much retaliation in resources, but if something were to happen to Wen Yan under these circumstances, it would automatically trigger the current top priority event.

Because Wen Yan is participating in the Ancient Dream incident, someone using dream methods to harm key members of the incident would undoubtedly fall under this event, without any controversy.

Wen Yan had a meal in a chuan chuan xiang restaurant, and the owner was right, the ingredients were indeed fresh.

As long as the ingredients are fresh, it won’t taste too bad no matter how you eat it.

Coming out of the restaurant, Wen Yan headed straight for Doctor Meng’s clinic. On the clinic’s glass door, there was a U-shaped lock, with a sign hanging.

“The world is so big, I want to see it; I’ve gone traveling, return date undetermined.”

Wen Yan looked inside through the glass door and seemed to see someone.

He knocked on the glass door and called out.

“Doctor Meng?”

Hearing Wen Yan’s voice, the head of the reception girl popped out from the hallway behind the ground-floor lobby; seeing that it was indeed Wen Yan, she immediately came over.

“Mr. Wen, Doctor Meng is not home, he went back to his hometown to visit family.”

“Hmm? Went back home for family visits? Is something wrong?”

“I don’t know…” the reception girl hesitated, standing behind the glass door, whispered: “When Doctor Meng left, he locked the door from the outside and told me not to unlock it, not to go out, there are food and drinks in the clinic, wait for him to come back.”

“Did something happen?” Wen Yan picked up the U-shaped lock to have a look, and indeed, on the back of the lock, he saw some special symbols, as if they were engraved on it and then soaked in blood.

“Doctor Meng didn’t tell me, he just said so, but I feel he ran away…” the reception girl somewhat uncertainly slandered the boss.

“Why do you say that?”

“He ran away once before, it took half a month to come back, later I heard during that half-month, several different races left Yu State, completely disappeared.”

“Is his phone turned off too?”

“Yeah, he said not to look for him, he will come back by himself later, he said even if there’s an earthquake, we are not allowed to leave this door.”

Wen Yan nodded, the reception girl was also a little monster, Doctor Meng was obviously protecting her.

And the issue was that Doctor Meng needed to run, but the reception girl didn’t need to.

Wen Yan looked back at the path he took to get here, feeling somewhat enlightened; entering the Ancient Dream as he was about to reach Doctor Meng’s clinic must have a reason.

Perhaps it had his own reasons, and an element of luck, possibly also nearing here was a reason.

Hmm, right, can’t forget, most likely yesterday night’s event was also a reason.

“Did Doctor Meng leave any other messages for you? Didn’t he say what to do if someone looks for him? Or how to contact him in urgent matters?”

“No, if it’s someone unfamiliar, just say he went traveling, if they ask, say he’s wealthy. If it’s someone who knows him, say he went back home to visit family, and might return in about half a month, every time it’s like this.”

“Ha, then why did you tell me the truth?”

“Mr. Wen is different, even if Doctor Meng were here, he definitely wouldn’t use that kind of excuse to fob off Mr. Wen.” The reception girl spoke honestly, she still remembered, that day when the Yang Energy burst out of Wen Yan, at the moment of that eruption, it almost covered the surrounding streets, even if it quickly retracted, that terrifying explosion, she still remembers clearly.

This sort of thing, she never dared to tell anyone, she had long held suspicions in her mind.

“Alright then, just listen to Doctor Meng, stay here well, if something happens, call me, you have my number, right?”

“Yes, I do, I do.”

“Good, that’s fine, I’ll go now, when Doctor Meng returns, tell him I came by.”

Wen Yan turned to leave, feeling a bit regretful, the expert on The Path of Dreams that he knew was this Doctor Meng, there was no one more professional than him.

…

At the Scorching Sun Headquarters, the General Director stood in the command room, watching the small squares appearing on the screen.

Each small square represented a place in action, he looked on with a calm and cold expression.

After the previous Ancient Dream, Skeleton Archway incident was listed as the top priority, the resources and permissions that could be invested were completely different.

For the moment, they truly couldn’t directly lock onto the target, but following the information previously obtained, they could continue to trace downwards.

Identifying the Gatekeeper’s identity allowed them to investigate the phones he used in his lifetime, the phone numbers, the accounts used when playing with mobile phones, and so on.
