The headquarters of the Jianghu Affairs Bureau appeared remarkably ordinary, resembling the typical courtyard houses in the capital city, with the only exception being two sentry posts at the entrance.
By the time Cheng Xiaofan arrived, Zhang Heng was already waiting at the gate.
Upon seeing Cheng Xiaofan approaching, Zhang Heng let out a hearty laugh and exclaimed, "Xiaofan, you're here so quickly!"
In front of Zhang Heng, Cheng Xiaofan openly admitted, "Teacher, I came by Sky-Breaking Eagle, so my speed is bound to be very fast!"
Zhang Heng glanced around curiously and asked, "Huh, where's the Sky-Breaking Eagle?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and replied, "It's gone to a nearby area to forage for food."
Zhang Heng nodded and said, "That's a rare divine eagle. Xiaofan, I have something to discuss with you. If the Jianghu Affairs Bureau headquarters were to acquire a few female eagles, could your divine eagle breed with them to produce some superior young eagles!"
Upon hearing this, Cheng Xiaofan immediately shook his head and said, "Teacher, I cannot agree. My Sky-Breaking Eagle is inherently proud and aloof. If you ask it to mate with ordinary female eagles, it will certainly refuse."
"Besides, as its owner, I cannot force it to do something it's unwilling to do. Teacher, wouldn't you agree?"
Zhang Heng quickly responded, "Yes, yes, you're right. If it's not possible, then never mind!"
As they spoke, the two entered the courtyard house.
Cheng Xiaofan swept his gaze around. Although the courtyard house looked ordinary and even dilapidated, intricate magic formations were secretly deployed within.
If an enemy were to attack, they might be able to get in, but they wouldn't be able to get out.
Zhang Heng's office was just like a regular room in a home, with very simple furnishings. The desk, sofa, and other items were all quite old.
A tiered display rack held newspapers from all over the world.
Zhang Heng was the only one working in this office.
Zhang Heng led Cheng Xiaofan into the office and said with a smile, "Xiaofan, please sit anywhere you like. I'll brew you a cup of tea."
He took out a tea caddy from a cabinet and scooped out a small pinch of leaves, smiling, "This is the Golden Tea you gave me. I've been reluctant to drink it!"
Cheng Xiaofan casually took out two bags of Golden Tea from his backpack and said with a smile, "Teacher, how about this: I'll give you a cup of Golden Tea, and you give me two large bags in return. You won't be at a disadvantage, will you!"
"Not at all, Teacher is making a huge profit!" Zhang Heng eagerly took the two bags of Golden Tea and immediately put them into the cabinet.
He then offered the tea to Cheng Xiaofan and said with a smile, "Xiaofan, I know you're a busy man and rarely come to the capital."
"Tell me, you didn't come to the capital this time just to see your teacher, did you?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and replied, "Teacher, I came to the capital this time specifically for Li Jieqiong."
Zhang Heng was taken aback.
He said, "The Li Jieqiong you're referring to, is she the CEO of the 'Heaven on Earth' Group?"
Cheng Xiaofan took a sip of tea, nodded, and smiled, "You're right, Teacher. It is Li Jieqiong, the CEO of the Heaven on Earth Group."
Zhang Heng's expression turned grim.
He said, "Xiaofan, why are you getting involved with someone like that? Do you know she's quite famous in the capital? You might suffer losses if you associate with her."
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "It's not that I want to associate with her; it's her daughter who has provoked me."
Zhang Heng said, "Li Jieqiong is single. How could she have a daughter?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Her daughter's name is Li Lili, and her English name is Grilace!"
Zhang Heng said, "Xiaofan, from what I know, Li Lili is Li Jieqiong's niece, not her daughter!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Teacher, Li Lili is indeed Li Jieqiong's biological daughter. Her father is probably a prominent figure in the capital, but it's inconvenient to make it public, so they have to acknowledge each other as niece and aunt!"
Zhang Heng nodded solemnly, "Xiaofan, this Li Lili is also no simple woman. Do you know that she is nominally the goddaughter of American Senator Degrell!"
Cheng Xiaofan sneered dismissively, "Teacher, I've already called Degrell. He has canceled all relations with Li Lili."
"What? You called Degrell, and he listened to you?" Zhang Heng looked at Cheng Xiaofan as if he were an idiot.
He wondered if the young man's mind had suffered some kind of shock.
The words he was saying were becoming more and more outlandish.
Degrell was known for his stubbornness. Would he listen to Cheng Xiaofan?
Cheng Xiaofan knew Zhang Heng didn't believe him and smiled faintly, "To be frank, Degrell and his daughter, Yameti, have recently been incorporated into my ranks. Both father and daughter are working for me."
"..." Zhang Heng was utterly speechless.
Degrell and his daughter had actually been incorporated by Cheng Xiaofan!
Only a madman would say such a thing!
He looked at Cheng Xiaofan with concern and said, "Xiaofan, is what you're saying true?"
Cheng Xiaofan smiled and said, "Teacher, would I lie to you? You should know I have a casino in Chinatown, USA, right?"
Zhang Heng nodded, "I know that!"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed, "A while ago, I received news that someone had forcibly occupied my casino. When I rushed over, I discovered the person who had taken over my casino was named Hailey, who is Degrell's illegitimate son."
"He, relying on ten genetic humans as guards and Degrell's backing, severely injured all my subordinates, leaving them lying in the hospital, barely clinging to life."
"This enraged me. I directly killed those ten genetic humans and then channeled the toxins from their bodies into Hailey, who in turn transmitted them into Degrell's body."
"In short, after my intervention, Degrell had no choice but to submit to me, handing over all four of his major corporations and his assets to me!"
Upon hearing Cheng Xiaofan's account, Zhang Heng was completely stunned.
After a long pause, he finally murmured, "Xiaofan, I truly didn't realize you had subdued that old man Degrell. That's remarkable!"
"You must understand, he's a complete China hawk. With him subdued, this is undoubtedly a great thing for our China!"
"By the way, how did Li Lili provoke you?"
Cheng Xiaofan laughed, "It's simple. This woman, who has a screw loose, learned from an insider at Degrell's home that I had taken possession of all of Degrell's assets. Under the instruction of her mother, Li Jieqiong, she colluded with poison cultivators. They came to Wangjiang City, intending to attack me and reclaim those assets."
"If I hadn't discovered it early, my 'Troublemaker' would have died from the poison needle of the poison cultivator Bai He!"
"These mother and daughter have crossed my bottom line. I've come to the capital this time to use their own methods against them, to make Li Jieqiong transfer all her assets to me!"
Zhang Heng listened and shook his head, "Xiaofan, this Li Jieqiong is no ordinary woman. You really have made things difficult for yourself!"
