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

When Shadow Martial Arts Hall received a request for support from the Jiangcheng Police Department, Cheng Hao led a group of people to the scene, but the entire group returned injured, and Cheng Hao even had one of his legs broken!

"Who dares to be so bold?" Qin Ge was furious upon hearing Chang Siyao's report, but soon felt something was amiss.

"This isn't a small matter, but it's not a huge one either. Can't you handle it?"

"Just send another expert to capture them. Is it really necessary to report to me?"

"There are many other things that are more important than this, but I've never seen you report them to me so proactively."

"Master, you truly have keen insight!" Chang Siyao couldn't help but flatter him. "I've looked into it, and this matter is indeed quite special."

"The person who injured Cheng Hao and the others is called Feng Yi. This Feng Yi is a martial arts master and also a retainer of the Min family."

"Feng Yi was fighting on behalf of Min Zhenghao, the second young master of the Min family. This Min family of Beidu is not simple."

Qin Ge frowned. "What makes him so extraordinary? Could he be a Celestial Dragon?"

"Master, you're joking. We don't have any Celestial Dragons in China." Chang Siyao forced an awkward smile. "But that's pretty much the gist of it."

"The Min family of Beidu has a deep foundation and extensive connections. If we really bring Min Zhenghao back, it will probably be a hot potato."

"Min Zhenghao has arrived at the Shadow Martial Arts Hall. What should we do?"

"If we handle this normally, it'll be difficult to explain to the Min family!"

"If we don't deal with them or just release them, we'll become a laughing stock."

"Arresting people isn't difficult, but once we do, we'll find ourselves in a dilemma."

"The person has barely arrived at our branch office when headquarters in Beidu might call us!"

"Bullshit!" Qin Ge slammed his hand on the table, shattering it to pieces. His gaze, sharp as a knife, fixed on Chang Siyao. "Are you out of your mind?"

"Does our Shadow Martial Arts Hall need to explain its actions to the Min family?"

"To hell with their deep roots! Go and bring them back to me! Don't let anyone involved get away with this!"

"I don't care what the other branches do, but the Jiangcheng branch isn't afraid of trouble. They don't even dare to utter a sound when their own people are beaten. Don't even mention the Jiangcheng branch again!"

"I can't afford to lose face like that!"

He paused, then said, "Go and bring them back. You'll lead the team yourself!"

"If you're scared, you don't have to go. Get out of the Shadow Martial Arts Hall now, I'll go myself!"

"Yes, sir! I guarantee I will complete the mission!" Chang Siyao replied solemnly and then turned around.

"Wait a minute!" Qin Ge called out to him, "Why don't you ignore anyone from headquarters who contacts you and just have them come to me directly!"

"If he dares to step in and bail him out, I'd like to see if he dares to come to Jiangcheng. If he does, I'll take him down too!"

Jiangcheng Hotel.

"Young Master Hao, haven't we gone too far today?"

"They're all from the Shadow Martial Hall, no matter what. If things get out of hand, it'll be hard to handle."

"Why don't you ask your family to let you know first, and then go back to Beidu? I'll handle the rest."

Feng Yi looked worried and tried to advise Min Zhenghao.

"You mean you want me to escape back to Beidu?"

"Where will that leave my pride?"

"Do you want me to become the laughingstock of those rich kids in Beidu?"

"Let's not talk about this anymore. I haven't finished taking care of my business in Jiangcheng!"

Min Zhenghao's words were cold and sharp: "Have you found that woman?"

"She's really asking for it! We gave her a million and she still complains it's not enough!"

"It's an honor for her that I even deigned to take my libido with her, yet she dared to call the police!"

Feng Yi looked slightly embarrassed. "That woman is quite clever. After she called the police, she stayed at the police station and refused to leave. We can't very well go to the police station to arrest her, can we?"

"Forget it, let her live for now, until she leaves the police station..." Min Zhenghao made a throat-slitting gesture.

"Contact Chu Hongxiu again; I've heard that woman is the real beauty!"

"I want both Qingyin and Ren!"

Feng Yi nodded. "I contacted Chu Hongxiu just half an hour ago, but she still refuses..."

"boom--"

Before Feng Yi could finish speaking, the door burst open, and Chang Siyao stood coldly in the doorway. "Shadow Martial Arts Hall!"

"Those who resist will be killed without mercy!"

......

Qingyin Company, Chu Hongxiu's office.

"Mr. Chu, don't you need to give a reply to the Min family?"

Secretary Dai Qing took the documents handed to her by Chu Hongxiu and asked questions cautiously.

"Just make up an excuse, say I'm busy and haven't had any free time lately."

Chu Hongxiu had strikingly beautiful features, but at this moment she appeared unusually aloof, indifferent, and dignified.

After hesitating for a moment, Dai Qing finally spoke up, "But President Chu, Min Zhenghao is, after all, the young master of the Min family. Is it really okay for you to reject him so many times?"

"If the Min family retaliates against Qingyin, it could cause quite a bit of trouble."

Chu Hongxiu pondered for a moment, then sighed softly, "I understand what you mean, but I don't have a better choice right now."

"If I don't refuse to meet him now, am I supposed to wait until we meet to refuse his request in person?"

"Don't tell me I can't make the decision. Even if I could, I would never agree to let the Min family acquire Qingyin!"

"Don't worry, we're not as vulnerable as you think. Even the Min family might be a match for us!"

"Go about your business!"

Dai Qing still showed no sign of moving. "President Chu, isn't our big boss also in Jiangcheng?"

"Why don't you go find him? Maybe he can solve it!"

Chu Hongxiu frowned slightly. "What are you thinking about now?"

"Mr. Xia and the others have repeatedly instructed us not to disturb Mr. Qin unless absolutely necessary!"

Do you think now is the last resort?

Dai Qing muttered under her breath, "Isn't that right? That's the Min family of Beidu..."

"What did you say?"

"It's nothing, it's nothing. Mr. Chu, I'll get back to work now!"

......

Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall.

Qin Ge's gaze shifted back and forth between Min Zhenghao and Feng Yi. "So, you're the ones who attacked my Jiangcheng Shadow Martial Arts Hall?"

"Tell me, who did it?"

"Who are you?" Min Zhenghao remained arrogant. "I don't care who you are, I guarantee you'll be begging me to leave Shadow Martial Arts Hall before dark!"

"Kid, this world is far more complicated than you think. The waters of Beidu are deep enough to drown you!"

"Release us now, offer us tea and apologize properly, and I can pretend nothing happened."

"Otherwise..."

"Snap—"

Before Min Zhenghao could finish speaking, Qin Ge slapped him across the face, making him see stars, knock out most of his teeth, and fill his mouth with blood.

Qin Ge clapped his hands, looking disgusted. "Don't you fucking understand the situation?"

"Now that you're prisoners, who are you trying to gloat to?"

"Did I ask you all these questions before you answered?"

"Listen carefully, answer whatever I ask!"

"Who attacked and injured our Shadow Martial Arts Hall members?"
