Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 216 The Underworld King

The Zhang brothers found themselves with no way to express their anguish.

They had originally thought it would be easy to encounter such individuals in the capital, which was why they requested a transfer back to the Southern Province Military Command.

However, upon arriving at the Southern Province Military Command today, they unexpectedly encountered this half-human, half-deity being. What kind of luck was this!

They truly had no tears left to cry!

"Since that is the case, this matter will be handed over to you to handle. Within one day, I want to know who provided weapons to Canhong. If there is no news after one day, I will have the War Department intervene."

Ye Longlin spoke, his tone devoid of any discernible emotion, yet his words sent a shiver through the two men, their eyes filled with a trace of fear and shock.

If the War Department intervened, their methods would not be so gentle. They were an organization of absolute non-violence, non-cooperation!

The War Department was the core of the military system. If they were to get involved, it would take less than five hours to find out, but those implicated would have no good end.

"Un... Understood!"

The two were extremely frightened. They knew that the being before them absolutely had the qualifications to mobilize personnel from the War Department, and perhaps even more than just mobilizing them!

Third Master Zhang grabbed Zhang Tiejun and directly broke both his legs, coldly stating, "Apologize to Mr. Ye!"

Zhang Tiejun looked at Third Master Zhang in confusion. Wasn't Third Master always the most protective? Why would he do such a thing and make him apologize?

Seeing his bewilderment, Third Master Zhang's anger flared. He slapped Zhang Tiejun on the head, "Don't you understand? Apologize to Mr. Ye!"

Zhang Tiejun, suppressing his pent-up frustration, lowered his head and apologized, "Mr. Ye, I, I'm sorry."

Ye Longlin looked at Third Master Zhang, "My car was bombed under his orders."

As soon as these words were spoken, Third Master Zhang's face changed drastically. Another slap landed on Zhang Tiejun's head, knocking him unconscious!

"Mr. Ye, please take my car. The Zhang family will take responsibility for this. After we buy a new car, we will send it to you."

Yuan Gang took the keys and stood by the rear door. After Ye Longlin got into the car, he closed the door, started the engine, and then drove away.

Only then did Nigati look at the two Zhang brothers and ask, "Do you know his identity?"

Second Master Zhang gave a wry smile, "Commander, he is that half-human, half-deity being."

Nigati's face suddenly changed.

...

Shui Mo Da Xia.

This was the top villa complex in the Southern Province, a health and leisure city built with an investment of three billion. Each unit was a detached villa with its own private courtyard.

The greening rate reached an astonishing sixty percent. Walking along the tree-lined paths, one could feel a sense of secluded tranquility.

"Boss, we've uncovered some information. Twenty S-class war criminals are connected to Xu Jiajun, the underground king of the Southern Province. Most of the people we are monitoring are under this Xu Jiajun. Additionally, back then, the Ye family issued a kill order through the Glory Hall, leading many to pursue Uncle. Among these people was the underground king Xu Jiajun.

Over the years, with the support of the Ye family, Xu Jiajun has transitioned from illicit to legitimate, establishing a real estate company. This real estate company has a rather... infamous reputation in the Southern Province. The houses under its umbrella are either unfinished projects or of substandard quality, amassing wealth to a frenzied extent.

Xu Jiajun has since left the historical stage, but he is not dead. He has now retired to enjoy his twilight years, living in the Yulong Mountain Villa developed by his company."

Xuan Niao stood by Ye Longlin, reporting, while Ye Longlin sat on a small stool, holding a fishing rod and fishing.

Beside them stood a magnificent villa. This villa had no basement; four stories above ground were sufficient.

"In other words, whether it's capturing war criminals or making the first move, it all falls on Xu Jiajun."

Ye Longlin spoke slowly. Just as he finished, the float dipped and submerged.

A fish had taken the bait.

Yuan Gang came rushing out of the villa, "Boss, Miss Mu is in trouble. The other party is reportedly the grandson of some King Xu, and they are trying to force-feed Miss Mu alcohol. Miss Mu has asked us to go rescue her."

The fastest way to enter the Southern Province's business community was to acquire a company.

The Southern Province was very exclusive. Only local companies could command some respect, making this the most stable approach. Otherwise, it would not be easy for Yuan Zhan Capital to enter the Southern Province.

"See, the fish has taken the bait, hasn't it?"

Fu Sheng Imperial Hot Spring Hotel, Food and Beverage Department.

"Secretary Mu, as long as you drink this last glass of wine, I can approve the acquisition of your Yuan Zhan Capital. I can even reduce the price a bit."

Xu Ziheng said with a smile, holding a glass of wine, his eyes shamelessly appraising Mu Hanqi's figure, a fiery desire in his gaze.

Even the few negotiators he brought with him had been drunk under the table, and he himself only showed a slight flush.

"General Manager Xu, I really can't drink anymore. I'm full."

"Kaiyuan Real Estate is on the verge of bankruptcy. Our willingness to acquire it is something you should welcome. It seems rather inappropriate for you to be forcing me to drink like this."

From both objective and subjective perspectives, Yuan Zhan Capital held the advantage, but Xu Ziheng was too overbearing.

"What do you mean by that? Are you implying that we should be grateful for your willingness to acquire us? I can tell you clearly, many people in the Southern Province want our company. Who do you think you are?"

Xu Ziheng's expression also darkened, but he didn't dwell on it, assuming she was talking nonsense due to being drunk.

Who knew that Mu Hanqi would let out a scoff, "Otherwise? If you didn't still hold five projects, who would be willing to take over your broken company? Do you have a good reputation in the Southern Province? Or do many people like your properties?

During your management, it's widely acknowledged that many residents have died in your developments or on your construction sites, isn't it? And now you're telling me this, don't you find it ridiculous?"

As soon as she finished speaking, Xu Ziheng slapped her across the face, his voice icy, "Mu Hanqi, I give you face, and then you have face. If I don't give you face, what the hell are you?"

"I am the grandson of the underground king. How many women have I dealt with over the years? Women, you need to be obedient, otherwise, you will suffer. It's an honor that you make me angry and want you to suffer. Originally, you could have enjoyed yourself."

After speaking, several bodyguards in the corner directly moved to lift Mu Hanqi.

"Xu Ziheng! Don't worry, you won't be able to touch me today! Do you think you're the only one with someone backing you? I have someone behind me too!"

Mu Hanqi let them support her without resisting. She knew that if she resisted, she would be the one to get hurt, and she wouldn't be able to resist anyway.

Xu Ziheng sneered, "To put it bluntly, who in this Southern Province dares to provoke me? Don't they know who's behind me? If anyone dares to save you, I guarantee they will regret being born!"

The door opened, and three figures stood at the entrance.

"So brazen? Then I truly wish to witness it."
