"Jiang Feng, you're getting more and more outrageous, aren't you? At home you're timid as a mouse, but the moment you come to my office you do whatever you want?"

Happy as she was, with Situ Yan's temperament, having taken such a big loss, she naturally couldn't help needling Jiang Feng a couple of times.

Jiang Feng rubbed his nose. He was actually embarrassed too. As a man, he'd watched plenty of that kind of video, and now there just happened to be a stunning beauty in his arms. It'd be strange if he could hold himself back.

"Ahem, let's talk business. Since we've locked onto this club now, what are you planning to do next?" Jiang Feng deliberately changed the subject.

"Isn't that simple? I'll personally lead a team over tonight to conduct a thorough investigation of this club. I don't believe they can keep denying it in the face of irrefutable evidence." Situ Yan huffed coquettishly.

"Why wait till tonight?"

"Idiot! Does a place like this even operate during the day? And moving in the daytime makes too much noise. If any word leaks out and they have time to prepare, that'd be bad." Situ Yan explained.

Jiang Feng thought it over and felt that made sense. But given how unfathomable this Zunxiang Club was and how high the risk factor, he still didn't recommend Situ Yan openly leading people over. If there really were strange people from the world of martial arts inside, there was no way she could handle them with her ability.

"How about this: you don't need to lead a team tonight, I'll go with you. Just treat it as an undercover visit to crack the case. Of course, if necessary, you can have Niu Tao and the others get set up ahead of time, ready to move at any moment." Jiang Feng said calmly.

"Just the two of us?" Situ Yan's beautiful eyes lit up, and she immediately smiled. "Okay! We'll do it your way, we'll head out together tonight!"

With Jiang Feng there, she wasn't afraid of anything. Plus, this kind of working a case side by side was very exciting, and the odds of success were higher.

"Then it's settled. I'll come find you tonight."

As Jiang Feng spoke, he let out a long breath and stood up.

"Where are you going?" Situ Yan immediately stood up as well and asked.

"We're moving at night, and there's nothing to do in the daytime, right? I'm going out to look around." Jiang Feng said casually.

"You…"

Situ Yan started to speak but stopped. She really didn't want to be separated from Jiang Feng, but she had no reason to forcibly keep him, so she could only say, "Fine, just don't be late. We can move as soon as it's dark."

"Mm."

Jiang Feng nodded, turned, and left.

He was eager to get out; one was that there really was no need to stay any longer, and secondly, he was afraid that if he stayed he wouldn't be able to control himself and might do something even more over the line…

Right now, Situ Yan was more beautiful than a flower, sexy and charming, truly irresistible…

And as Situ Yan watched Jiang Feng leave, she lightly pouted, then wiped her lips with the back of her hand, unable to help the smile that curled up again. Her jade-like face was flushed red.

...

After leaving the operations department, Jiang Feng hailed a cab and went straight to Chu Group.

It was a spur-of-the-moment decision to go have a look. After all, he hadn't seen Yu Hang in quite a while, and he had no idea how Chu Family was currently running things. It wouldn't hurt to go over and get a basic understanding.

At the same time—

Inside that very Zunxiang Club which had just been locked onto by Jiang Feng and Situ Yan!

Situ Yan's assessment was very accurate. This club did not open during the day.

But that didn't mean there was no one inside at the moment!

Moreover, because there were no guests or service staff during the day, the interior was extremely quiet, making it convenient for certain secret discussions that couldn't see the light of day to take place here.

Inside the top-floor office of Zunxiang.

On a wide sofa sat a man with an extremely dark, gloomy face, his aura icily indifferent to the extreme.

Behind him stood four hunched old men, their entire bodies wrapped in black clothes.

And across from him, a middle-aged man in a suit, who looked every inch the successful businessman, was kneeling on the floor, trembling with fear.

If anyone familiar with Zunxiang Club were here, they would immediately recognize this middle-aged man kneeling on the ground as the capital investor behind Zunxiang Club, Pi Changshan.

In the past, Pi Changshan could be considered powerful and high-status, swaggering wherever he went. Yet right now, facing the gloomy man, he appeared extremely respectful and cautious, not daring to go against him in the slightest.

"Pi Changshan, another week has passed. How is that thing coming along?" The gloomy man on the sofa spoke flatly, his tone so low it was frightening.

"R-replying to Hall Master! Everything is proceeding smoothly. If nothing unexpected happens, that thing will be born very soon!" Pi Changshan answered in a panic.

"Hmph, you'd better not be trying to fob me off. If we want to get rid of that Jiang brat, we can only rely on that thing now!" The gloomy man suddenly ground his teeth and sneered coldly.

"Understood! Jiang Feng is our mortal enemy. He dared to wipe out the Main Pavilion, eradicate our hall, and slaughter us to the last. Even if you, Hall Master, never came looking for me, I would still stand irreconcilably opposed to him, tear his body into ten thousand pieces, and grind his bones to dust!" Pi Changshan hurriedly declared viciously.

"Heh, I didn't misjudge you."

The gloomy man finally revealed a faint smile and stood up. "Now that Tianji Pavilion has been destroyed, when the tree falls the monkeys scatter. There are very few who can remain as loyal as you. Your Master's favoring you back then wasn't for nothing."

"Master!"

When Pi Changshan heard the gloomy man mention his Master, cold light shot from his eyes, and a Killing Aura spread all over his body!

His true identity was actually that of a disciple under the seat of a Supreme Elder of Jing Hall. It was just that he was a lay disciple, so he didn't have to stay in Jing Hall all his life and could choose to enter the mundane world.

His Master was a leading figure among the Jianghu Strange Men of China, almost a founder-level figure in this lineage of Southern Border Gu Technique and Corpse Control Technique.

Previously, within Jing Hall, the Abnormal Techniques of elders like Gongyang Lu, Ya Facun, Zuo Qiujie, Wan Jigui, Wuma Ye, and the others were more or less learned from him and traced back to his inheritance.

It was just that what those people learned was all mixed and varied, so they didn't count as disciples of the Supreme Elder. Only Pi Changshan was the Closed-door Disciple who had truly inherited the full legacy.

After completing his training, Pi Changshan left Jing Hall and, by a twist of fate, ended up in Binhai and opened this Zunxiang Club.

He had always relied on shady methods to make profits. Over the long run, he had little to do with Jing Hall and Tianji Pavilion anymore. Jing Hall didn't even seek him out during several previous missions to Binhai to deal with Jiang Feng.

However, some time ago, Jiang Feng had Wu Feng and the others raid Jing Hall's headquarters, taking Jing Hall down in one fell swoop. Even the Hall Master Jing Kuiyuan only managed to escape by using a Substitute Technique, barely avoiding total annihilation.

Consumed with rage, Jing Kuiyuan, while dodging Wu Feng's dragnet, instead secretly slipped into Binhai, using the notion that the most dangerous place was the safest, hoodwinking everyone and biding his time for revenge.

Here, he thought of this "old acquaintance" Pi Changshan, secretly established contact with him, laid out all the old and new grudges, and thus got Pi Changshan to share a common enemy and agree to avenge the hall and Tianji Pavilion!

"Please rest assured, Hall Master! Among the techniques Master passed down to me, the most powerful is refining Blood Corpses! These years in Binhai, other than running this business as a cover, my more important goal has been to refine one of these things, to serve the hall and the Main Pavilion."

Pi Changshan said through gritted teeth, "Now, before it could be completed, the hall and the Main Pavilion have already suffered calamity! Then I'll use this thing to utterly torture that Jiang bastard to death, avenge the blood debt, and wipe out every last one of his family, not leaving a single survivor!!!"
