　　"Wu Yun…" Yun Yiyuan said in a low voice after Ying Mei left.

　　Although Ying Mei did not bring any good news, it was not a complete surprise to Yun Yiyuan considering the fact that he had noticed Wu Yun's presence back at the banquet. He still thought of Li Yiming as nothing more as a p.a.w.n in the grand scheme of things — even if the latter was no ordinary guardian, the person to be feared was the one behind him.

　　'The staff alone is not a threat, the problem lies with the person holding it. Mr. Kong has taken over Heaven's Laws, but he's still not in full control of it. What should I make out of this situation?' Yun Yiyuan's thoughts wandered far beyond taking his revenge against Li Yiming, planning his allegiance in the fight that would soon decide his fate.

　　'But I know nothing… Who's going to come out on top?' Yun Yiyuan could not afford to make a misstep as it would be the last mistake he would ever make.

　　"I want all the information about any woman involved with Li Yiming," After a long moment of thinking, Yun Yiyuan picked up his phone.

　　"Ms. Ying has already…" A voice full of reverence answered.

　　"I want you to do it," Yun Yiyuan interrupted him.

　　"Ah, yes, right away." The voice said after a brief moment of silence.

　　"Try to make it as detailed as possible." Yun Yiyuan hung up the phone.

　　It was no secret that the woman Li Yiming had erased was someone dear to him, and Yun Yiyuan wanted to get first-hand information on the matter, for it could be a decisive lead in figuring out who exactly was behind Li Yiming.

　　At the same instant, Ying Mei sat down in her car in the underground parking lot. She took out a thick file folder containing a list of over a hundred names and began noting down information as she went along.

　　Anyone would have been impressed by Ying Mei's meticulousness — she noted down the name of every female friend that Li Yiming had made since birth. She knew where her priorities lied and she knew better than to tell Yun Yiyuan about everything she knew.

　　Once Ying Mei finished composing her list, she began to cross out names until only nine remained.

　　"Wu Jia…" Ying Mei pointed at one of the names with her pen.

　　Inside a research laboratory in A309, an old man with bloodshot eyes frowned as he stared at the computer screen. On display was the picture of a ball of flesh. From the little bits of hair which remained on it, it seems like it was flesh taken from some kind of primate.
