Chapter 150 | The Apocalypse Landlady

This ability, according to the records held by the organization, had only appeared three times.

Each time it appeared, it triggered a storm of blood and gore.

And now, this mysterious person in Jiangcheng actually possessed such an ability?

Liu Junnan slowly put down the receiver, his gaze falling on the man on the other side of the glass who looked like the living dead.

Deep in his eyes, complex emotions churned.

There was excitement—if he could capture this person and bring them into the organization, how great of a merit would that be?

There was apprehension—could he even be a match for an Ability User with Mental Rewriting-level powers if they actually fought?

What exactly was that person's background?

Liu Junnan stood up, picked up his briefcase, took one last look at Xu Tianlin, and turned to leave the meeting room.

Outside the detention center, Xu Maoshan was waiting anxiously.

He was Xu Tianlin’s father.

In his early fifties, with a gloomy and sinister face and shrewd eyes, he was the real person at the helm of the Xu Corporation.

Seeing Liu Junnan walk out, he hurriedly went to meet him: “Lawyer Liu, how is it? Tianlin, he...”

Xu Maoshan’s face wore the perfect amount of anxiety and anticipation, but deep in his eyes, a sliver of profound wariness was hidden.

He had already heard from Bai Hongyuan that this young man had a special identity and was by no means an ordinary person.

Earlier in the car, he had only glanced at the other man once, and the coldness churning in the depths of those eyes had chilled his back with fear.

He had only seen that kind of gaze in desperate outlaws who had truly killed people.

No, it was more terrifying than a desperate outlaw.

A desperate outlaw’s eyes still held madness and emotion, but this young man’s gaze was a void of dead silence, devoid of any warmth.

Liu Junnan completely ignored Xu Maoshan’s question and walked straight toward the black business van parked by the roadside.

Xu Maoshan stood frozen on the spot, his face turning pale and then flushed with embarrassment.

The car door closed, isolating everything from the outside world.

Liu Junnan leaned back against the seat, his eyes watching the street scenery flashing past the window, his gaze deep and inscrutable.

Qin Zhong’an sat beside him and asked cautiously: “Young Master Liu, how was it?”

Liu Junnan didn't answer.

He just stared out the window, the corners of his mouth slowly curling into an arc.

Xu Tianlin, Bai Ruochu.

Two cases, the same person.

That person has intersections with both the Bai family and the Xu family.

As soon as this thought surfaced, Liu Junnan’s brow furrowed slightly.

He picked up his phone and dialed Fang Yingshan’s number.

“Check for anyone who has intersections with both the Bai and Xu families. Whether it’s a grudge or a favor, as long as there’s a connection to both families, find out everything.”

On the other end of the line, Fang Yingshan replied: “Understood.”

After hanging up, Liu Junnan closed his eyes and leaned against the seat to rest.

An Ability User at the level of Mental Rewriting...

What exactly does such a person want to do, hiding in Jiangcheng?

The black business van stopped at the Yuanhang Freight Transit Station.

Third floor, conference room.

Fang Yingshan was already waiting there, with a thick stack of documents on the desk in front of him.

Seeing Liu Junnan enter, he quickly stood up: “Young Master Liu, I found it.”

Liu Junnan sat at the head of the conference table, picked up the stack of documents, and began to flip through them.

Fang Yingshan’s efficiency was indeed high.

He had retrieved all business transaction records, social activity records, and public intersections of the Bai and Xu families from the past five years, as well as a list of personnel both families had contact with.

The list was very long.

After all, within the elite circles of Jiangcheng, business dealings were frequent. Basically, anyone with a name had some degree of intersection with the Bai and Xu families.

Liu Junnan flipped through page by page, his brow gradually furrowing.

Ordinary business partners—excluded.

Ordinary social interactions—excluded.

Those with no conflict of interest—excluded.

There were too many people to exclude, and too few who were truly suspicious.

Until he turned to a certain page, and his finger suddenly stopped.

It was a brief summary of personal information.

【Su family: Formerly one of Jiangcheng’s prestigious families, primarily involved in real estate and trade.】

【One year ago, due to poor management and a multi-party siege, the group went bankrupt. The chairman and his wife died in an accident, the only son Su Zhuo was imprisoned for intentional assault, and the only daughter Su Wan survived. She currently resides in an unfinished building in Jinxiu Garden in the western suburbs.】

Liu Junnan’s gaze fell on the last line of text.

Many people had intersections with both the Bai and Xu families.

But the only one with a deep-seated hatred for both families was the Su family.

He continued to flip down and saw more detailed content.

The Bai family and the Gu family joined forces to launch a comprehensive commercial siege against the Su Corporation.

The role the Xu family played in it was that of an accomplice who added fuel to the fire.

After the Su family went bankrupt, the chairman and his wife were involved in a car accident while out and both died.

Although the accident was classified as an unintentional incident, everyone in the circle knew that the car accident happened far too conveniently.

Su Zhuo, the only son of the Su family, was sentenced to prison for severely injuring Xu Tianlin.

Xu Tianlin.

This name caused Liu Junnan’s eyes to flicker slightly.

Su Wan.

The surviving eldest daughter of the Su family...

Liu Junnan looked up at Fang Yingshan: “I want detailed information on this Su Wan.”

Fang Yingshan was well-prepared. He pulled a thin file from the stack and handed it over.

“Su Wan, the only daughter of Su Zhenhua, the former chairman of the Su Corporation. Twenty-four years old.”

“After graduating from Jiangcheng University, she entered the family business as a Market Department Deputy Manager. She has no experience in independent operations.”

“She has a gentle personality, a simple social circle, and no negative record.”

“After the Su family’s downfall, she sold all her assets to repay the debts. She currently lives in Room 102 of an unfinished building in Jinxiu Garden in the western suburbs.”

“Her source of income is unknown, but according to investigations, she has had contact with the Liu family and may have received some financial assistance.”

“Regarding social relations, she was once Gu Huaiyu’s fiancée. They were engaged for over a year, and the engagement was dissolved after the Su family’s bankruptcy. There is currently no public contact with Gu Huaiyu.”

Liu Junnan flipped through the thin file, his brow furrowing deeper.

Simple and brief.

Clear at a glance.

A pampered young lady who hadn't experienced much hardship, hadn't done anything out of the ordinary, had a gentle personality, and a simple social circle...

Could such a person be that powerful expert with Mental Rewriting-level abilities?

Impossible.

Liu Junnan dismissed the possibility almost the instant he saw the file.

If Su Wan really had such strength, how could the Su family have gone bankrupt?

If she could truly destroy a person’s consciousness with a flick of her finger, how could she have stood by and watched her parents die and her brother go to prison without doing anything?

If she were truly the mysterious person who had handed him two consecutive defeats, how could she have appeared so... ordinary during the destruction of the Su family?
