Jordan put on his coat and was about to call Xiao Deng to pick him up when there was another knock on the door.

Lu Hanshuang?

That was Ye Chen’s first thought.

He opened the door and saw a burly man wearing a cap outside.

“Hall Master.”

The man’s deep voice rumbled.

It was obviously Ye Lingtian.

Ye Chen quickly invited Ye Lingtian in and asked in surprise, “Why are you here?”

Ye Lingtian took off his hat and said respectfully, “Hall Master, I should have come to welcome you personally yesterday, but I was delayed by some matters.”

“That’s not what I meant. I’m asking you why you came to see me today. Did something happen?”

“It’s better if we’re not seen together. If there’s anything, we can talk over the phone.”

“Understood!” Ye Lingtian nodded and continued, “However, Hall Master, since you are here, I naturally have to play the role of the host adequately.”

“Hall Master, please follow me to the Hidden Dragon Building.”

Based on their interactions during this period of time, Ye Chen knew that Ye Lingtian’s strongest force had yet to be revealed.

Ye Chen narrowed his eyes and agreed.

“Alright, but I need to make a trip to the Xia family’s residence now. I’ll go to the Hidden Dragon Building after I’m done.”

Ye Lingtian was delighted and quickly said, “Thank you, Hall Master!”

Ye Chen simply nodded. Suddenly, he thought of something and asked, “Is there any news about Chief Long?”

Ye Lingtian shook his head.

“I once sent six experts to Capital City to investigate Chief Long, but none of them came back alive.”

“I have failed you, Hall Master. I am willing to personally set off for Capital City tomorrow to investigate this matter!”

Ye Chen fell into a state of deep thought. It seemed that Chief Long was not as simple as he had imagined.

He looked at Ye Lingtian and instructed, “Put this matter aside for now. You just need to send some people to ask around. There’s no need for a thorough investigation at this point.”

“Alright, don’t stay in my villa for too long. Otherwise, others will become suspicious.”

“Yes, Hall Master. I’ll be waiting for you at the Hidden Dragon Building!”

“Very well.”

After Ye Lingtian left, Ye Chen called Xiao Deng and asked him to pick him up and head straight to the Xia family’s residence.

At the same time, in a mysterious hall in Jiangnan Province, a young woman was sitting cross-legged. Spiritual energy surged around her, and slowly seeped into her body bit by bit.

There was a mark of a blooming red plum on the woman’s forehead.

If Ye Chen was here, he would definitely recognize that this woman was Lu Hanshuang, whom he had saved yesterday.

Suddenly, Lu Hanshuang opened her eyes, and a powerful wave of energy rippled out in all directions.

She let out a breath and muttered, “Where did that guy’s pill come from? It actually has an effect on my martial arts.”

Not long after, there was a knock on the door.

“Come in.”

Lu Hanshuang’s voice was cold.

An old woman walked in with a document in her hands.

“Have you found the details of the person I asked you to investigate?” Lu Hanshuang asked anxiously.

The old lady nodded and handed the document to Lu Hanshuang. “The young man is called Ye Chen. He is from the Ye family of River City. Five years ago, the Ye family was destroyed and his parents were killed. At the time, he was thrown into the depths of East Coin Lake. Everyone in River City believed him to be dead.”

“However, five years later, he returned to River City. He established the Heavenly Justice Group and killed Yuan Jingfu in the martial arts arena, cementing his status as the number one expert in River City.” contemporary romance

Lu Hanshuang looked confused.

She had thought that the young man was some kind of awesome person. She did not expect him to only be the number one expert in a small place like River City.

However, the fact that this kid could kill Yuan Jingfu meant that he should be ranked around 350 on Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings, or even higher.

“Do you know where this kid went during the five years he disappeared?” Lu Hanshuang asked.

The old woman shook her head.

“That remains a mystery. It’s almost as if he completely disappeared from the face of the earth during those five years. There are no traces of him whatsoever. Somehow, in just five years, a notorious piece of trash in River City was transformed into a martial arts expert. There are too many suspicious points.”

Lu Hanshuang fell into deep thought.

“You can leave now. Help me keep an eye on this person. Also, don’t reveal any information about him to those people.”

“Understood.”

A Mercedes-Benz slowly came to a halt in front of the Xia family’s residence.

Two martial artists with strong auras walked over and asked, “Hello, please show me your pass and invitation.”

Xiao Deng rolled down the window and replied, “I don’t have one.”

The eyes of the two experts narrowed as they said coldly, “Since you don’t have a pass or invitation, please leave!”

Ye Chen, who was sitting in the back, was about to speak when Xiao Deng took out a token from the car’s glove compartment and handed it over.

“This is my identity. I can enter any place I want! Your Xia family’s residence is no exception!”

“If you’re sure you want to stop me, Xia Hongye will be responsible for the consequences!”

The two of them were stunned. They had been guarding the Xia family for so many years, but this was the first time they had seen such a domineering driver!

Most importantly, what was written on that token was too terrifying!

The two of them could not make the decision, so they made a call to confirm Xiao Deng’s information. Not long after, the gate opened, and the expert guarding the gate smiled and said, “Comrade, please enter. My apologies if I offended you earlier.”

Before he could finish, the car window was closed and the car drove straight into the Xia family’s residence.

The Xia family’s expert took a deep look at Ye Chen in the backseat and sucked in a sharp breath.

If the driver was so awesome, then the person sitting in the backseat had to be some big shot!

After getting out of the car, Ye Chen headed straight for the villa. He glanced in several directions and could clearly feel a few pairs of eyes staring at him with unfriendly gazes.

They probably belonged to the Xia family’s experts.

Ye Chen ignored them and sent a text message to Xia Ruoxue that read, “I’m here.”

Not long after, Xia Ruoxue hurried down and opened the door of the villa. Her eyes were filled with panic.

She looked around, and when she saw that there was no one around, she quickly pulled Ye Chen inside.

The door closed.

“Come with me..”
