I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"See me?" Qin Ge asked, quite surprised. "Why do you suddenly want to see me? Is he sick?"

"Did they say anything else, whether it's good news or bad news?"

Shen Tingzhi forced a smile. "Who can fathom Elder Yan's thoughts?"

"Do you want to see him?"

"If you don't want to see him, I'll think about how to reply."

"Go ahead!" Su Wan interjected. "Old Yan's intentions are hard to fathom, but he wouldn't stoop to harming you."

"Going to meet him wouldn't be a bad thing."

She smiled faintly, "If I'm not mistaken, he probably wants to tell you a story."

Su Wan had high expectations for Qin Ge, but if Qin Ge wanted to establish himself in Donghai on his own, he couldn't bypass the Yan family.

No one made such a rule, and Yan Jingchun didn't even like to associate with these people too much, but that was the reality.

Moreover, this is a fact that even the Yan family cannot control for the time being.

However, Su Wan and the Shen family will not sit idly by. They might even pave the way for Qin Ge, just like giving him the Alluring Beauty Makeup.

But this doesn't meet Su Wan's expectations of Qin Ge.

"Okay, I'll go see him!" Qin Ge agreed. He could tell that Shen Tingzhi spoke casually, but he must have been quite reluctant to refuse.

He himself also wanted to meet Yan Jingchun.

Meng family.

"What did you say? Li Canglan is dead?!"

Meng Changkong felt as if he had been struck by lightning.

He had been keeping an eye on Qin Ge's situation, and he knew that the police station and the Shadow Martial Hall had been mobilized.

Not long ago, he was marveling at how ruthless Li Canglan was, even alarming the Shadow Martial Hall, and he figured there wouldn't be a single survivor from the Qin family.

So now they're telling him that the dead man is Li Canglan?

Li Canglan is a master of the Earth Realm, how could he die? How could he possibly die?

Aside from the Shadow Martial Hall, who else could deal with him? Just that girl Su Wenxi?

"Dad, could there be a mistake?" Meng Haochen asked cautiously. He knew that Qin Ge was quite skilled and had even been beaten up by Qin Ge before.

But he didn't think Qin Ge was comparable to a pure assassin like Li Canglan.

"What nonsense!" Meng Changkong tried his best to calm his agitated emotions. "Both the police station and the Shadow Martial Arts Hall have confirmed it's Li Canglan!"

"He's dead!"

"Damn it, he was bragging about how there was no one he couldn't kill, telling me to make all the necessary arrangements beforehand so he could leave Donghai after the kill!"

"You've already saved your life, why would you want to leave?"

"It's us who need to leave the East China Sea now!"

The more he thought about it, the more uneasy he felt. Li Canglan had stayed at the Meng family's place when he first arrived in Donghai.

Meng Haochen dismissed it, "Dad, it's not that serious, is it?"

"Our Meng family has some connections in the East China Sea. Just give them a heads-up and smooth things over."

"Li Canglan is an assassin, but we aren't. What are we afraid of!"

"You know nothing!" Meng Changkong roared. "That's Li Canglan, the infamous Li Canglan!"

"Do you think our Meng family's connections are still of any use?"

"When you are in power, you are surrounded by friends. We help others and others will help us. But all of this is based on mutual benefit."

"Our Meng family has suffered repeated setbacks lately, and now we've gotten involved with someone like Li Canglan. Do you think anyone will still be willing to help us?"

"They avoid us like the plague now, and no one answers our calls!"

"No matter what, let's find a way to leave the East China Sea and China, hide abroad for a while, and see how things develop!"

Meng Changkong made up his mind that saving his life was the most important thing; as long as he was alive, he could always find a way to survive.

"Don't move!"

"The Donghai Police Station and Yingwutang are conducting a joint investigation!"

Hearing a commotion outside the door, Meng Changkong's heart skipped a beat. They arrived so quickly?

"Everyone, is there some misunderstanding?"

"Our Meng family has always been law-abiding and a major taxpayer in the East China Sea. Why have we troubled you all?"

Since everyone had already arrived, Meng Changkong had no choice but to show up, his face plastered with a smile.

"Du Jiangming from the Donghai Police Station!" A man flashed his badge. "Meng Changkong, come with us!"

"The assassin Li Canglan appeared in the East China Sea and was killed while committing the crime. Evidence shows that Li Canglan had appeared in your Meng family."

"We have reason to suspect that your Meng family hired someone to commit the murder!"

"Mr. Meng wouldn't be trying to say he knows nothing, would he?"

"Li Canglan?" Meng Changkong looked innocent and confused. "I don't know him!"

"Officer Du, are you mistaken? What does Li Canglan look like, and when did he visit the Meng family?"

"Hiring a killer is utterly unthinkable. I am the chairman of Meng's Pharmaceuticals, why would I hire someone to kill?"

Du Jiangming chuckled, "You're really putting on a convincing act!"

"If we didn't have the evidence, I might have believed it to some extent!"

"Go back and explain yourself slowly. If you're truly innocent, we'll give you justice. Take him away!"

"Sir, young master, you go first!" An old man suddenly jumped out, knocking back the police officers surrounding Meng Changkong with a few punches and kicks, and stood in front of Meng Changkong. "You go first, I'll hold them off!"

"You're asking for death!" A tall woman standing next to Du Jiangming narrowed her eyes and moved as soon as she spoke.

"boom--"

The woman struck the old man with a single palm strike, sending him flying. He coughed up blood and collapsed to the ground, unable to get up.

"Tell me then, how are you going to stall us?"

Her gaze swept over the rest of the Meng family, her phoenix eyes filled with authority. "I advise you not to act rashly. The Shadow Martial Hall does things differently from the police station."

"The police will consider sparing your lives and will act in accordance with their procedures."

"But before our Shadow Martial Hall, those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

Meng Changkong blinked, knowing that everything was over and that even the green hills could not be saved.

If it were just police officers, there would actually be a sliver of hope of escaping.

But when the people from the Shadow Martial Hall arrived, that glimmer of hope vanished.

Even if he manages to escape the Meng family by sheer luck, can he still escape the East China Sea?

"Miss Yu, thank you so much!" Du Jiangming stepped forward and bowed to the woman who had just made a move. "If it weren't for the help of your Shadow Martial Hall, something really might have gone wrong today."

Yu Jinghong smiled slightly and waved her hand, "Officer Du, you don't need to be so polite. We are just following orders and doing our jobs. There's no need for thanks."

"The Shadow Martial Arts Hall's mission is complete. The rest is up to your police department!"

Just then, the phone rang.

Yu Jinghong smiled apologetically, turned around and answered the phone, "Went to the Yan family?"

"Okay, I got it. I'll be right there!"

Yu Jinghong hung up the phone, said goodbye to Du Jiangming, turned around and went out, heading straight for the Yan family's old house.

Meanwhile, Qin Ge and Shen Tingzhi were also on their way to the Yan family's old residence.
