Nine-Colored Lotus

Chapter 192 Lord of the Dragon Pavilion, Meritorious Service Bestows Kingship

Ye Weizhu nodded, her voice serious. "Be careful. It's said that Ye Xingchen has already enlisted the help of Southern Province to deal with you. You might not care, but what about the people around you? You can't possibly have people following them all the time, can you?

Another thing, this King of Southern Province is not someone to be trifled with. We haven't figured out the specifics yet. The network in Southern Province is much more complex than in Star City. If the King of Southern Province appears, you must eliminate his cronies. It's said that he was ordered by the Ye family to pursue and kill you back then."

A hint of murderous intent flashed in Ye Longlin's eyes. He had almost forgotten who had pursued them back then. Now, he could only rely on the Dragon Pavilion's intelligence network to investigate the events of that year.

But the events of that year were a taboo, and no one dared to mention them. As a result, the truth of many matters had been buried in the dust.

"Are you the legendary, youngest Five-Star Heavenly King in history?"

Mu Hanqi stared at him with wide eyes, gasping in shock. Her gaze was filled with awe, clearly not expecting Ye Longlin to be that legendary top-tier existence!

Both the Hall of Honor and the Highest Department avoided discussing the identity of this Five-Star Heavenly King. Few people knew that this legendary Five-Star Heavenly King was less than thirty years old. If this news were to spread back to the capital, it would definitely cause a stir among many!

"The Hall of Honor once said: Da Xia is stable, and there is no war overseas. Achievements for a thousand autumns, benefits for ten thousand lives. The Lord of the Dragon Pavilion, with great merit, is enfeoffed as King."

"Who would have thought that the person sought by countless people in the capital would appear before me, and I've even fallen for him? I finally understand why the Murong family and the Wang family support you unconditionally."

Mu Hanqi gave a helpless bitter smile, a mix of shock at Ye Longlin's identity and pride in knowing such a great figure.

The Wang family and the Murong family's influence might not be enough to uncover his identity, unless the current elder stepped forward. But even then, their family's elder would have to pay a price to truly discover his identity.

"The Lord of the Dragon Pavilion and the Five-Star Heavenly King are the same person. With such an identity, he can already walk sideways in the capital."

Mu Hanqi's expression was also a little complicated, but more so, it was bitter.

With his status, was she still worthy of him?

She used to think that her status was enough for him, after all, she was also from the Murong family, and once from the main lineage.

But now... she was definitely not worthy of Ye Longlin.

"Don't think too much. If you can really win over our boss, I'll personally celebrate with you."

Xuan Niao patted Mu Hanqi on the shoulder. Seeing Ye Longlin walk away, she whispered in her ear, "Our boss has a thorn in his heart. If no one can pull out that thorn, he might choose to remain alone for life. That thorn, perhaps no one can pull it out but you."

Yes, not every woman had the courage to resolutely stand in front of Ye Longlin.

The previous one was Xiao Cao. Her body was riddled with holes, and she died on the spot without even being able to say her last words. And now, Mu Hanqi appeared. She was going to be like Xiao Cao, resolutely taking a bullet for Ye Longlin. That was a situation with almost certain death!

The soldiers of the Dragon Pavilion also knew this, but they couldn't persuade him. It was a demon of the heart, a knot in his heart.

Mu Hanqi's eyes lit up, and she gave herself a boost. "I will try my best."

Yuan Gang had previously placed his hope on Lin Tian'ai, but Lin Tian'ai's disbelief had pushed him away. Fortunately, there was still Mu Hanqi.

If even Mu Hanqi couldn't untie this knot, then they would be helpless.

"Contact Xu Denggui and ask them if they've disclosed their relationship with Qi Mingdao."

As long as they could prove their relationship with Qi Mingdao, they could immediately arrest Qi Mingdao. At the very least, he would be guilty of harboring a criminal, intentionally killing a Dragon Observer, and disturbing social order.

Qi Mingdao also understood the consequences, so he had already let a large number of people confess to crimes from back then to take the blame. Recently, the Dragon Observer Bureau had arrested no less than ten people.

"Yes!"

......

The first thing Ye Weizhu did after taking office was to purge Ye Lin's people in large numbers. This upheaval allowed the Giant Spirit Group and Yuan Zhan Capital to seize opportunities. Ye Longlin also contacted the Paul family and the George family, telling them not to come over.

In just one morning, Meihua Group lost 10 billion. Coupled with the actual money tied up in the stock market, within a short period, 30 billion had been lost, all of it by the Meihua Group.

Ye Longlin sat steadily on the rooftop, not in a hurry at all. He trusted Ye Weizhu's words. One's hatred couldn't be hidden in their eyes, let alone such deep-seated enmity.

"Boss, Xu Denggui said there's been no breakthrough. As of now, they haven't obtained any useful intelligence. And the trouble is, Qi Mingdao is preparing to leave Star City. His flight is this afternoon at 5 PM. We have no way to keep him here."

Yuan Gang said with a headache. S-class criminals were all tough nuts to crack. It was very difficult to extract useful intelligence from them.

Ye Longlin slightly furrowed his brow. "You go to the Dragon Observer Bureau to interrogate him personally. Xuan Niao, you'll accompany me to meet this Qi Mingdao."

Xuan Niao frowned. "You want to know the whereabouts of other S-class criminals?"

Ye Longlin pursed his lips and didn't say much, but his expression made them both understand his thoughts.

The fact that he could contact these two people meant that he could contact more people. Therefore, using him as a breakthrough point was quite good.

"Master, have some tea."

Fang Cunxin brought tea over. Both her hands and feet were bound with lead blocks, each weighing fifty jin. She had to wear them even when sleeping, which was a type of rigorous training.

"Mm, follow the plan your Xuan Niao sister made for you. We don't have time to take care of you during this period."

Ye Longlin rubbed her little head, his eyes filled with a trace of heartache.

Fang Cunxin nodded obediently. "Understood, Master."

This sensible and heart-wrenching little girl had become the group's darling.

Lin Tian'ai and Diana had already moved out. There were also Dragon Pavilion soldiers secretly guarding them, so there was no need to worry about their safety. The villa had returned to its usual quiet state.

Yuan Gang left first, and Xuan Niao prepared the car, heading to the administrative presidential palace.

In the Maybach commercial vehicle, Ye Longlin looked at the scenery outside the window and suddenly spoke, "The Ye family father and son have returned to Southern Province, haven't they?"

Xuan Niao nodded. "Yes, I've been monitoring them. After Ye Lin had an accident, they returned to Southern Province and haven't stepped out the door."

"After dealing with Qi Mingdao, I'll go to Southern Province. The Fang family's matter should come to an end."

The revenge for his little apprentice had been dragging on for some time. Now that Yuan Zhan Capital was on the right track, he didn't need to worry about it anymore, so these matters needed to be prioritized.

"Understood. I will also increase efforts to search for those criminals."
