Under the sunlight, Wang Zheng squinted his eyes and looked at the sign in front of him with a sneer on his face.
The sign read four characters: Private Farm.
Though called a farm, it was actually a combined ranch and farm. The once small place where Shangguan Yunxiao had raised flowers and cultivated grass has now grown to an impressive scale, with the continuous mountain range at the border of two provinces under its management.
It is said that the milk produced in Shangguan Yunxiao's ranch could already meet the full supply demand for two provinces connected to the capital. This was a staggering number.
To own such a vast area near the capital, a city of steel and concrete forests, is truly rare.
"Finally, he has arrived," Wang Zheng squinted his eyes as he looked at this idyllic place with fluctuating eyes.
Shangguan Yunxiao lived a life free from worldly affairs, giving up the inheritance rights of Juruo and distancing himself from the family's political machinations. He drove his old Passat and quietly managed his ranch in a corner of the capital. Many people praised Shangguan Yunxiao, while many others lamented his decision, as he had displayed extraordinary talent during his youth that would have made him undoubtedly the first among China’s young elites, even surpassing Su Tianran.
But later on, he suddenly faded from public view and lived a life immersed in nature, free from worldly affairs. Many people had almost forgotten about him.
However, Wang Zheng did not forget. He had countless times imagined Shangguan Yunxiao as an imaginary rival merely because of his low profile, a humility that was unusual to the point of being abnormal. Because, Wang Zheng vaguely felt that Shangguan Yunxiao resembled a rather famous historical figure.
The fourth prince of Emperor Kangxi during the Qing Dynasty, who later became the Yongzheng Emperor.
On the surface, he appears indifferent to worldly affairs, planting rice and vegetables in his own王府 (Wángfǔ), but secretly he is operating one of the most effective power bases. During the九龍奪嫡 (Jiǔlióng Duó Dí) period when the nine princes were competing for succession, he suddenly made a grand move at the last moment to decisively settle everything.
At this time, Shangguan Yunxiao truly resembles Emperor Yongzheng of the Qing Dynasty.
Wang Zheng also carefully analyzed the situation. Logically speaking, since Shangguan Yunxiao was originally the first-in-line heir of the entire Shangguan family, there would be no reason or necessity for him to act this way. Even if he did not restrain himself, his right of succession wouldn't fall into someone else's hands, unlike the situation during the九龍奪嫡 (Jiǔlióng Duó Dí) period in Qing Dynasty history. But since this is how things are, why does he still maintain such a low profile
After much deliberation, Wang Zheng finally came up with an answer that better fits reality: Shangguan Yunxiao's vision extends far beyond just the inheritance of the Shangguan family. The right to inherit one single family is insignificant; he aims for something much larger—perhaps even the entire capital or the whole of China!
Before this, Shangguan Yunxiao must make everyone see him as an indifferent person and even forget about him.
Wang Zheng carried his suitcase into the farm. When a security guard tried to approach and inquire, Wang Zheng knocked him unconscious with one palm strike.
Looking at the stun baton that fell from the security guard's hand, Wang Zheng kicked it away nonchalantly with his foot; the baton rolled out of sight over ten meters away.
From afar, Wang Zheng spotted Shangguan Yunxiao’s Passat. It seems this guy should be here.
Even before he got close to the car, Wang Zheng's attention was drawn by a chorus of barking.
This is where Shangguan Yunxiao keeps his dogs. The area is quite large and houses only aggressive fighting dogs. When Wang Zheng first saw these vicious dogs, he felt puzzled: How could someone who appears indifferent to worldly affairs enjoy such violent dogs
Now that he thinks about it, this was probably when Wang Zheng's suspicion towards Shangguan Yunxiao started.
Pushing open the door to the dog house, Wang Zheng spotted a familiar figure standing on top of a platform, tossing down an antelope into the fenced area below.
Inside the fence, two fighting dogs were baring their crimson tongues at the antelope with menacing intent.
The figure turned around to reveal a rather solemn and imposing square face, though there was a hint of slight surprise on it, followed by an expression of realization.
No one else could be here other than Shangguan Yunxiao.
"I should have guessed that you're alive," Shangguan Yunxiao glanced at the antelope being chased by the two fighting dogs and then smiled, saying: "I'm curious how you managed to survive in such an explosion"
"I was prepared. The Task Guild's inner chamber is much sturdier than you think; I only had ringing ears for a few weeks."
"It seems the Task Guild is living up to its reputation," Shangguan Yunxiao’s eyes twinkled with an unknown light: "You being here means that you’ve figured everything out."
"I realized it long ago." Wang Zheng stared coldly at Shangguan Yunxiao and said, “The moment I met you, something felt off.”
"Because I'm left-handed" Shangguan Yunxiao asked with a sneer.
"There are plenty of left-handers in the world. But there was just something about you that seemed wrong." Wang Zheng said earnestly.
"Do you know My right hand is equally dexterous. I deliberately used my left hand to hold chopsticks when we met, just to give you a hint. Otherwise, this game would have been too boring."
Saying that, he raised his hand and simultaneously flicked with both hands. Two cold lights burst out from his palms, directly piercing into the eyes of the two fighting dogs!
The two vicious dogs died instantly! Just as he had said, both his left and right hands were equally dexterous!
Wang Zheng’s eyes narrowed immediately. This throwing-knife skill was not inferior to that of Li Minghao who was skilled in throwing knives! Given how this上官雲霄seemed unremarkable on the surface, he actually possessed such extraordinary skills!
At this moment, Wang Zheng felt a slight shock. The guy truly seemed like a freak; completely disregarding everyone else in the world. If he didn’t reveal any clues at all, then it would be impossible for him to find out anything about him now!
"But my physique is taller than that left-handed sniper’s. How do you explain this" 上官雲霄 sneered.
"There exists a mysterious martial art called Bone-Shrinking Art in the world. I only heard of it later from Blazing Heaven Lake, but I never expected such an odd skill to be something you could learn," said Wang Zheng.
"Therefore, if I don’t wish to expose myself, then you’ll never find me." 上官雲霄 said.
"There are still some clues left behind," Wang Zheng looked at the two fighting dogs that had died in the center of the arena and sneered. "In my opinion, those who like fighting dogs and watching illegal fights belong to the same category."
"It’s just a personal hobby that you’re magnifying out of proportion," said 上官雲霄. "Actually, you couldn’t be certain it was me before until Giant Fusion’s recent experiences made you guess my identity."
"Indeed, you thought I was dead so you couldn’t hold back and started taking action." Wang Zheng’s gaze flickered. "But what I don’t understand is how uniting external capital to beat up Giant Fusion benefits your inheritance of the Giant Fusion International"
"Inheritance of Giant Fusion International" A rather arrogant smile appeared on 上官雲霄’s face. "When have I ever taken this group seriously Having it adds luster, and not having it won’t cause any problems either."vered above them, the floor hasn't collapsed yet.This can be attributed to several sharpshooters from State Security who, just moments before launching the explosive shells to collapse this level, kil...
