Before the burly man could speak, Xiao Yunlong stood up and said, "You must be Mr. Xuanyuan Qingfeng. Boss Mai mentioned that you served as a commander in the Northern Territory camp. I've long admired your reputation!"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng was stunned. He had recognized Xiao Yunlong by now, but Xiao Yunlong's words left him at a loss.
Mai You Su stepped forward with a smile and said, "Mr. Xiao, Brother Qingfeng did serve as a commander in the Northern Territory some years ago, but he left the Northern Territory camp half a year ago. He is now serving as the Fifth Deputy Commander in the Southern Border camp!"
"I see, it's a pleasure to meet you!" Xiao Yunlong nodded slightly.
Although he didn't know why Xiao Yunlong hadn't revealed his identity on the spot, Xuanyuan Qingfeng was no fool. He knew that the King of Zhenbei must have his reasons for doing so.
Straightening his posture, Xuanyuan Qingfeng said loudly, "I'm ashamed. I'm just a deputy commander in the Southern Border now, and I'm getting worse. Your friend, Mr. Xiao, has an extraordinary demeanor and seems to be no ordinary person. Greetings, Mr. Xiao!"
Mai You Su waved his hand and said, "Brother Qingfeng, to be honest, Mr. Xiao and I have encountered trouble today and have offended the eldest young master of the Ge family. We had no choice but to ask you to help. I thought that with your status as a deputy commander of the Southern Border, the other party would show some respect."
Xuanyuan Qingfeng glanced at Xiao Yunlong and saw that he had no intention of commenting. He then nodded and said, "Brother Mai, we have known each other for many years. Since you've approached me, I will not stand idly by. Lead the way, let's go meet that young master Ge!"
"Alright, please, everyone!" Mai You Su gestured to the side, secretly relieved.
The group then quickly went downstairs to the parking lot.
"By the way, can I ride in the same car as Mr. Xiao?" Xuanyuan Qingfeng suddenly asked.
"Of course, I have no problem. I'm just wondering about Mr. Xiao..." Mai You Su said with a smile.
"Get in!" Xiao Yunlong said calmly, opening the car door and getting in first.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng did not choose the back seat but sat in the front passenger seat.
This scene seemed a bit strange to Mai You Su. After all, given Xuanyuan Qingfeng's status, it was one thing that Mr. Xiao and his companions didn't personally open the car door to welcome him, but it was unthinkable to let him sit in the front passenger seat.
However, he didn't have the time to ask more questions at the moment, so he shook his head and got into his own car.
As soon as the car door closed, Xuanyuan Qingfeng said, "Your subordinate, Xuanyuan Qingfeng, the Third Commander of the Northern Territory camp, pays his respects to His Highness, the King of Zhenbei!"
If it weren't for the inconvenience of being in the car, he would have probably knelt down to pay his respects.
Xiao Yunlong waved his hand slightly and said, "No need for formalities. Tell me, why did you leave the Northern Territory camp and come to the Southern Border?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said with a wry smile, "Reporting to His Highness the King of the North, I didn't want to leave the Northern Territory, but I had no choice. After you had your accident, the Zhang family from the Northeast came and forcefully took over the affairs of the Northern Territory camp. While supporting their own forces, they purged dissidents. I couldn't stand it and refused to comply, so I was ostracized and removed from my post, and eventually had to leave!"
"As for why I came to the Southern Border, Your Highness the King of the North may not know, but I am originally from the Southern Border, and I have some connections in the Southern Border camp. It was through his introduction that I joined the Southern Border camp!"
Xiao Yunlong raised an eyebrow and asked, "Who do you know in the Southern Border?"
"I know Deputy Officer Zhou, Deputy Officer Zhou Yun, who is the personal attendant of the King of the Southern Border. He is my fellow townsman!" Xuanyuan Qingfeng immediately replied.
"I see!" Xiao Yunlong nodded.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng then smiled ingenuously and said, "Actually, Your Highness the King of the North, I have a secret mission this time for coming to Longyan City."
"A secret mission?" Xiao Yunlong asked in return.
"Yes, Your Highness. I was ordered by Deputy Officer Zhou to secretly come to Longyan City to investigate the Lord of Chuanlong Ridge, and also Director Ge Bo of the Supervisory Department!" Xuanyuan Qingfeng said.
"You are secretly investigating the Lord of Chuanlong Ridge and Ge Bo?"
Xiao Yunlong was somewhat surprised. After thinking for a moment, he asked, "When did this happen? Have you found anything?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng respectfully replied, "Deputy Officer Zhou secretly sent me here half a month ago, and I have almost finished my investigation."
As he spoke, he took out a small notebook and a voice recorder from his pocket.
"Your Highness the King of the North, here is the criminal evidence of the Lord of Chuanlong Ridge and Ge Bo. Their crimes are too numerous to list and truly heinous. It took me quite some effort to find it. Of course, many clues were provided to me by Deputy Officer Zhou, otherwise, I wouldn't have been able to find them!"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng said, handing over the small notebook and the voice recorder.
Jun Bufan, who was driving, couldn't help but say, "That's great, Big Brother. Aren't Zhuge Wushuang and the others also investigating? With this evidence, we can directly take action against the Lord of Chuanlong Ridge and Ge Bo."
Xiao Yunlong just smiled without responding and took the small notebook and voice recorder.
"Your Highness the King of the North, are you planning to take action against the Lord of Chuanlong Ridge and the others? That might not be easy!"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng frowned and continued, "Longyan has been under the control of the Lord of Chuanlong Ridge for over twenty years, and he is deeply entrenched. This is his power base. Even the King of the Southern Border cannot do anything to him. Moreover, it is said that the Lord of Chuanlong Ridge has thirteen great martial arts masters under him, known to the world as the Thirteen Taibao!"
Xiao Yunlong smiled noncommittally and asked, "By the way, Qingfeng, is your investigation this time at the behest of Deputy Officer Zhou or the command of the King of the Southern Border?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng was startled and then smiled, "What's the difference? Your Highness, you may not know, but in the Southern Border camp, Deputy Officer Zhou is the shadow of the King of the Southern Border, his right-hand man. Of course, these are not my words; everyone in the entire camp says so."
"Therefore, in many cases, Deputy Officer Zhou's orders are the King of the Southern Border's directives, especially in the past year, as the King of the Southern Border's health has been deteriorating."
Xiao Yunlong frowned and asked, "What's wrong with the King of the Southern Border's health? Is he sick?"
"Not exactly sick, but he has been lethargic and weak, and he often feels sleepy!"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng sighed and added, "According to the divine doctor from the Hui Chun Sect, His Highness the King of the Southern Border is suffering from acclimatization. He had symptoms when he first arrived at the camp."
"Acclimatization?" Xiao Yunlong chuckled.
This reason seemed too far-fetched, as the King of the Southern Border had studied martial arts, and his martial arts cultivation was quite good. However, Xiao Yunlong didn't ask further.
"By the way, Your Highness the King of the North, why have you suddenly come to the Southern Border?" Xuanyuan Qingfeng suddenly asked.
Xiao Yunlong smiled and asked in return, "What do you think?"
Xuanyuan Qingfeng then realized he had asked too much and could only give an awkward smile.
Just then, the car arrived at the Liren Yingge Club. The car stopped, and Jun Bufan said, "Big Brother, we're here!"
Xiao Yunlong instructed, "Now that we have the evidence, call Wushuang and tell them to come here immediately!"
"Yes, Big Brother!" Jun Bufan nodded and took out his phone.
Xuanyuan Qingfeng then asked, "Your Highness the King of the North, the Wushuang you mentioned earlier, is it His Excellency Zhuge Wushuang, the Xuanwu General? Could it be that your Four Great Generals and the Dragon Blood Guards have all arrived?"
Xiao Yunlong smiled and said, "You'll know when the time comes."
After saying that, he pushed open the car door and got out first. Xuanyuan Qingfeng quickly followed.
Liren Yingge was an entertainment venue. Although it was afternoon, business was still booming. There was no other reason than that it was opened by the eldest young master of the Ge family. In Longyan City, the Ge family's reputation was very strong, and competitors dared not provoke them easily.
Looking up at the prominent sign with the four fiery characters "Liren Yingge," Xiao Yunlong let out a cold laugh and strode in.
At the same time, in the most luxurious and largest private room inside, there was a noisy and chaotic scene.
More than twenty young men and women were eating, drinking, and indulging in revelry. The men were mostly young scions of wealthy families in Longyan City, while the heavily made-up, provocatively dressed, sexy, and charming young women were mostly internet celebrities or so-called socialites.
Of course, Ge Shaocong, the eldest young master of the Ge family, was also among them. He was currently holding two female internet celebrities, touching them intimately, and having a great time!
A bodyguard pushed open the door and hurried to his side, leaning in to whisper a few words.
The young master Ge was furious on the spot. With a bang, he picked up a wine glass from the table and smashed it to pieces.
The previously noisy private room instantly fell silent, with not a sound to be heard.
"This bastard surnamed Xiao actually dared to come looking for me! Does he really think I'm made of mud? Let's see how I deal with him this time!"
