Chapter 66

"Really? Another mission?" Li Mang looked at Yang Fan in surprise, feeling depressed. The missions at the Yanhuang Compound were not frequent, and some people didn't even get one in a year. Why did he keep getting them one after another?

"It's a small mission, not very challenging, and the reward is only 50,000 yuan. No one else wants to take it," Yang Fan shrugged helplessly, then patted Li Mang's shoulder apologetically.

"…Alright!" What else could Li Mang say? Although he hoped to stay at the Yanhuang Compound to read more books from the second basement floor, especially the Shan Hai Jing, he hadn't even finished reading the Southern Classic. Additionally, he wanted to read more martial arts classics, which were very significant for him, a martial arts novice.

"Recently, something strange has been happening in a village in the Tianmen Mountain Scenic Area of Zhangjiajie, Hunan. The village's poultry has been disappearing for no reason, and no method has been able to solve the problem. The police, who received the report, are also at a loss. We speculate that some strange creatures are causing trouble in secret. From their behavior, they don't seem very strong, so sending you should be enough to handle it," Yang Fan explained the general situation of the mission to Li Mang, adjusting his glasses twice during the conversation.

"I don't have the skills for this. How can I find them?" Li Mang raised his doubts. He had no experience in this area and didn't think his perception was much better than an ordinary person's. If it came down to luck, it seemed too far-fetched.

"Don't worry. This isn't the first time we've received such a mission. I'll send all the past experiences to your email. If you encounter any unsolvable problems, you can call me," Yang Fan replied.

"…Alright!" Li Mang no longer hesitated.

...

On the plane to Changsha, Li Mang was somewhat distracted. Cai Cai's words echoed in his ears, and the scenes he saw in the Destiny Sky Disk appeared in his mind. This made him sense something different about this mission, as if something dangerous and lurking awaited him at the destination.

"Is it really Yang Fan?" Li Mang's expression was very complex.

When he saw the future scenes, his face turned pale not because his future wife was cheating on him, but because he saw himself being killed by a group of people. The tragic scene was still vivid in his mind, a very terrifying and bizarre situation! He didn't know who the murderer was, but he saw Yang Fan in the future scenes, with a terrifying and hideous face that Li Mang couldn't forget.

This time, when he returned to the Yanhuang Compound, he subconsciously became wary of Yang Fan but didn't dare to show it, as it was a matter of life and death. The reason he believed Cai Cai's words was also because of this. Now, Yang Fan suddenly assigned him a mission, which made Li Mang even more suspicious.

"If I didn't kill Liu Junchun, would you believe me?"

"Two consecutive secretaries of Group Nine have had accidents. Do you feel a sense of crisis?"

"I just want to advise you. People with potential and those who are too smart are often remembered by others, and you have both. If someone wants you to be silent, it's either to kill you to cover up or to drive you mad…"

Was Liu Junchun killed by Yang Fan in secret? Were the accidents of the two secretaries of Group Nine also due to Yang Fan's machinations? Now, was Yang Fan trying to silence him?

The more he thought, the more anxious Li Mang became. He finally couldn't resist pulling out his phone to seek help. He could ask for help from the Ghost Doctor or Cheng Wei. This time, it wouldn't be Yang Fan himself, and the person sent to deal with him might not be very strong, so someone with over fifty years of cultivation should be able to handle it. Last time, he contributed a tiger python and received a chance to call for help from a strong person, which he could use now. Even if he wasn't sure if his suspicions were correct, it was better to be cautious.

"Sir, please turn off your phone quickly!" Just as Li Mang was about to make a call, a delicate but frightened female voice came from beside him. It was a beautiful flight attendant who happened to be passing by, but her face was pale with fear.

"Are you trying to die? Playing with your phone on a plane! Don't you know that the phone signal can interfere with the plane's navigation and even cause various dangers!"

"Exactly, turn off your phone quickly. If you want to die, don't drag us down with you!"

The other passengers were also frightened by Li Mang's actions, and their faces changed dramatically. They all shouted at him, even scolding him. It was a sensitive time for plane accidents, and the passengers were already on edge. Seeing someone trying to make a call on the plane they were on, they angrily criticized him.

Despite his烦躁的心情，李芒还是保持了良好的修养，努力镇定下来解释道：“这是卫星电话，使用的是卫星信号，不会干扰到飞机的任何信号源！”

“卫星电话也是电话，一百多条人命能用来测试吗？”

“不错，飞机系统本来就很复杂，任何差错都可能导致飞机失事，这么高掉下去大家都一锅熟！”

“赶紧把手机关掉，否则不要怪我们不客气！”

大众对这方面的知识认知不足，加上是非常时期，自然不听他的解释，甚至已经有几个壮汉从座位上站起，如果李芒还不关手机，大有要强行夺过手机的意思。

如果是平时，李芒或许还会好声好气地跟他们解释，或者拿出什么证件压制，但如今他比飞机上的乘客还要烦躁不安，听到这些人的无理要求，当下就愤怒了，豁的一声从座位上站起，瞪着那说话的大汉怒问：“你要怎么个不客气法！”

“……”不得不说，李芒身上还是有不少气势的，当下就让几个原本要动手的大汉愣在原地，被吓住了。

不过，飞机上还有这么多人，岂是李芒这一丁点气势就能够全部镇压的，随即后面就有几个女性站出来指责道：“你这年轻人怎么能这样，有什么事你等下飞机再说不行吗？一百多条人命是你能够负责得了的吗？”

“就是，看这素质！”

眼看场面越发混乱，俏丽空姐也非常着急，飞机上能打卫星电话吗？法律上并不禁止，但作为乘务员务必要劝阻，加上民心所向，她自然不能同意李芒的做法。不过，看到李芒也不是什么善类，为平息事端她想到一个折中的办法：“先生，如果您真有什么急事，我申请机舱的通讯系统帮您联系如何？”

“……算了，我关机！”被这些人这么一闹，李芒心情尽管依旧烦躁，但也稍微平静了一些，默默地把手中的卫星电话关掉。不管机舱内议论纷纷的乘客，他把头拧向窗外，看着外面模糊不清的蓝天白云怔怔出神。

pS: The gap between the third place and the first place is quite large. I hope everyone can help to support.
