Playing cards, I am your ancestor!-Chapter 325: Severity

This is simply a bolt from the blue.

No exaggeration, from the moment Mountain Ghost withdrew from all competition levels, all competitions around the world became insignificant.

For it to reach such a severe level can only mean that a major incident has occurred with Mountain Ghost, a catastrophic event.

And it’s not something that can be simply explained with words.

Otherwise, the management at Mountain Ghost wouldn’t have so quickly decided to withdraw without any reservation.

This is a brave move to cut off one’s own hand to save the arm.

[If they don’t withdraw from the competition and something more serious is discovered, they are very likely to be banned from the competition for decades.]

Wen Jiang raised an eyebrow: [I only gave Tan Heming a possibility, and he found something so quickly, which can only mean that the Duan Family is indeed not clean.]

This possibility is something Wen Jiang saw in that assassin’s memory.

She thinks the Duan Family is not clean.

The Duan Family is part of the management in Imperial City, if they are not clean, it indeed becomes a major incident.

And if it was a spy from another country, it would have been easier to handle.

This involves something manufactured by someone like Yu Jian.

All of Wen Jiang’s social groups burst into a frenzy.

[Guo Shu]: Damn, did Mountain Ghost really withdraw from the competition? Wen Jiang called it correctly, huh?

[Song Yi]: @Wen Cangtian, what’s going on? Can you tell us? No need to hide it anymore.

[Wen Cangtian]: Can’t say, ask your dad, daddy’s boy.

[Song Yi]: ...

Song Yi was furious, smoke practically coming out of his ears.

But Song Jue didn’t comfort or tease him like usual. Instead, he frowned, his expression quite serious: "If even she can’t say, it means the matter is truly serious, maybe it involves internal affairs of the Empire."

Otherwise, with Wen Jiang’s temper, she had no reason to hide anything.

She doesn’t even hide that she’s the author behind the card now, why keep a secret for Mountain Ghost?

Song Yi also realized the seriousness, unable to believe it: "Someone from Mountain Ghost committed treason?"

It has to be that severe to justify dealing with such a huge incident.

Song Jue said, "What if it’s even more serious than that?"

He said solemnly, "Why don’t you ask dad?"

Song Yi shivered: "Why should I? Brother!"

Song Jue: "Didn’t Wen Jiang say you’re daddy’s boy? It’s more natural if you ask than I do."

Song Yi: "..."

Nonsense!

In the group, Sheng Hongying and Du Zhaiyue both chimed in.

[Du Zhaiyue]: Is it related to last time Tan lost his spiritual power suddenly?

[Guo Shu]: Could be, I’m currently asking Mountain Ghost’s coach crazily, he just replied with two words: dumbfounded.

It means even he was stunned.

He had no idea why the Mountain Ghost management made such a decision.

If even the coach doesn’t know, then it’s a higher-level game being played.

[Sheng Hongying]: The information I have says it is related to Duan Yuleng, but it isn’t about his performance this afternoon, he should have known something would happen before that.

Sheng Hongying’s network of relationships over the years is also impressive.

The players discreetly investigated, and they can vaguely tell it has something to do with Duan Yuleng, but no more information could be found.

Wen Jiang understands.

The matter of resentment controlling spiritual power must be tightly covered; otherwise, it will definitely cause international panic.

Originally, Ricardo was already jumping out, saying he’s furious with Yunxia because there is someone in Yunxia who can strip spiritual power.

However, she has her own channels.

She directly asked Tan Heming: [Have you found anything?]

Tan Heming quickly replied: [Yes, unfortunately, you were right.]

It’s related to the Duan family, and the Duan family holds a lot of important information about Yunxia, this is absolutely serious.

Plus, since Tan Heming was the first victim, with the incident happening at Mountain Ghost, Mountain Ghost naturally became the target.

The ban was not Mountain Ghost’s decision; rather, it was a direct order from above for Mountain Ghost to completely stop the competition to undergo a comprehensive inspection.

If they do not comply, it will not just be a temporary halt but will turn into a complete ban.

However, there is bad news that Tan Heming didn’t mention.

He has offended high-level insiders of Mountain Ghost.

Although he is a star player of Mountain Ghost, after investigating and finding follow-up problems in the Duan family, he directly reported to the Empire without Mountain Ghost’s internal approval, resulting in Mountain Ghost’s current competition suspension.

This involves the interests of too many people.

Even the senior management within Mountain Ghost may not know what unforgivable crime the Duan family committed, yet with just a word, Mountain Ghost’s competition fate for this year was decided.

Wen Jiang: [Aren’t you afraid? Once people get implicated, you’ll become a living target.]

Tan Heming: [I think Black Tortoise wants me to do this.]

The last time he hesitated, it caused Black Tortoise’s dissatisfaction, leading to the current silence of the Black Tortoise Card.

This time, he didn’t want to back off; since he found a problem, he’d rather see Mountain Ghost undergo an internal purge than allow pests like Duan Yuleng to potentially ruin the future of card competitions.

Wen Jiang: [(Then just report my name as well.)]

Anyway, being resented by people isn’t the only challenge she’s facing now.

Moreover, it was indeed she who encouraged Tan Heming to investigate.

Tan Heming: [No need for me to say, you are already a higher-level target than I am.]

The existence of Yunxia’s comics is striking, and now Wen Jiang is facing pressure not just domestically but from other empires too.

Wen Jiang: [Indeed.]

Wen Jiang: [We all have a bright future, cheers!]

Seeing Wen Jiang’s easygoing tone, Tan Heming couldn’t help but smile after seeing the message.

He really doesn’t know why she has such strong confidence, even when she knows there are many arrows in her back, yet she doesn’t care.

Luo Juerao came to Tan Heming’s side.

Knowing that this year’s competition was stopped, which is no different from a ban, Luo Juerao also looked haggard: "Tan, they say the reason for this incident is because you were dissatisfied with not being able to participate in the competition, so you reported Mountain Ghost."

This is the rhetoric being spread by the internal senior management.

Not only is there external pressure, but also pressure from internal players.

They worked so hard for a year, and now, because of this incident, they’re banned, and they have nowhere to vent their pent-up anger.

And Tan Heming has been made the scapegoat.

If this news gets out, if Mountain Ghost’s fans learn about it, he might face even more terrifying verbal attacks.

Tan Heming looked up at Luo Juerao, his expression serious: "Jue Rao, if you trust me, then you should know, if I hadn’t reported it, Mountain Ghost would only face a worse outcome. Do you really want your career to end here?"

If it were in the past, he might have borne these things and said nothing for some reasons.

But now Black Tortoise seems to not want him to do this.

What needed saying, Tan Heming still needed to be said clearly.

Indeed, these words brought fear and helplessness to Luo Juerao’s expression: "Tan, what exactly happened? Are the consequences really so severe?"
