Chapter 181: Chapter 161 [Storm Brewing]

Since the outbreak of the destroy virus, the world has undergone a transformation, with the age of individual nations passing into history, giving way to the era of alliances we see today. However, Huaxia has always proclaimed itself a nation, continuing to celebrate the eleventh as its National Day.

Just as in the era of nations, every National Day on the eleventh, Huaxia would activate its emergency security plan, increasing its monitoring efforts. It demands that all departments related to national security remain vigilant and station at their posts before and during the holiday season to prevent any incidents that could destabilize security.

Though the Yanhuang Organization was established only in recent years, it has played an increasingly significant role in maintaining national security and stability, even being called "the mysterious force guarding Huaxia" by foreign media.

As the eleventh approached, the workload for the Yanhuang Organization surged. They had to cooperate with other departments to ensure security and stability while also intensifying surveillance on Jianghu People, ensuring they kept tabs on those with potential for wrongdoing.

Dong hai, Yanhuang Organization Office.

"Director Lu, we’ve received reliable information from the outer layers that Elder Huang Qi of Hongwu Sect has shown up in Dong hai."

In the office at the top floor of the Yanhuang Organization Office, a member of the organization reported respectfully while standing in front of Lu Canghai’s desk, "Would you like to arrange for someone to monitor him?"

"Which of the formal members don’t have surveillance tasks now?"

Upon hearing the report from his subordinate, Lu Canghai frowned and inquired. Unlike other departments, the Yanhuang Organization had few formal members. Dong hai might be the flag of Huaxia’s economy, but it only had ten formal members of the Yanhuang Organization; most others were what the subordinate referred to as peripheral members from the military, mainly responsible for collecting intelligence and dealing with less powerful Jianghu People.

"Everyone is assigned tasks except for you."

The Yanhuang Organization member responded, "Following your orders, I’ve placed one formal member each at the airport, docks, train stations, and bus terminals to quickly spot and control Jianghu People traveling from other places. Moreover, to ensure the safety of participants at the Yangtze River Delta Economic Summit on October 2nd in Dong hai, five of us including myself will be heading to the venue to collaborate with other departments."

"Then I will take care of Huang Qi myself. Let me know where he’s staying later, and I’ll go have a heart-to-heart with him," Lu Canghai pondered and then decided.

"Yes, Director!"

"By the way, have you contacted headquarters about investigating that Ye Fan’s information? What’s the situation now?"

Seeing that his subordinate was about to leave, Lu Canghai asked again. Despite being swamped with work these past days, he had not forgotten the matter of avenging his son, Lu Wen.

"The Intelligence Department at headquarters hasn’t responded yet, it’s probably going to be after the festival."

"Then let’s focus on the task at hand for now; we’ll discuss that after the festival," Lu Canghai said after a brief contemplation, knowing that all of the higher-ups were now focused on ensuring security and would hardly have the time to deal with personal matters.

"Buzz... Buzz..."

Shortly after the Yanhuang Organization member left, Lu Canghai’s cellphone in his pocket began to vibrate.

Hm?

Lu Canghai raised an eyebrow, retrieved his phone, and to his surprise, found an unfamiliar number calling. He was taken aback—as the person in charge of the Yanhuang Organization in Dong hai, his phone was specially made by the security department with strong confidentiality; he had hardly disclosed the number and only a very few were aware of it.

"Hello."

Despite his confusion, Lu Canghai pressed the answer button and spoke with a grave tone.

"Hello, Uncle Lu, this is Situ Haotian."

On the other end of the call, Situ Haotian’s tone was extremely respectful; it didn’t matter that he was now at the Half-step Innate Realm—even if he had stepped into the Innate Realm, he would still need to be humble in front of Lu Canghai.

"What do you want, calling me?"

Lu Canghai’s frown deepened. Due to the choices Situ Chen had made in the matter of his son being crippled, he had cut off all relations with the Situ Family. He also heard about Situ Haotian being driven out of the Dong hai Gang, and under these circumstances, he couldn’t fathom the purpose of Situ Haotian’s phone call.

"Uncle Lu, I want to talk to you," Situ Haotian got straight to the point.

"Talk?" Lu Canghai looked even more puzzled, "What could you possibly have to talk to me about?"

"About how to help Xiao Wen get his revenge."

"What makes you think you have the grounds to talk to me?"

Lu Canghai asked coldly, his tone filled with disdain. In his view, it didn’t matter that Situ Haotian was now akin to a dog that had lost its home—even if Situ Haotian were the Crown Prince of the Dong hai Gang, he had no right to a face-to-face discussion with him.

"Uncle Lu, I am now a Half-step Innate Martial Artist, plus, I have gained control over more than seventy percent of the big shots in the Dong hai Gang," Situ Haotian displayed his assets and intentionally paused to give Lu Canghai time to digest the information, then continued to ask, "I wonder if Uncle Lu could spare just a little time to meet with me?"

When Lu Canghai heard Situ Haotian’s astonishing words, his first reaction was disbelief, but he soon thought that if Situ Haotian hadn’t accomplished those feats, he wouldn’t have dared to call him, much less propose a meeting.

Realizing this, Lu Canghai coolly asked, "Time, location."

"Five minutes later, my car will pick you up 100 meters to the east of your office," Situ Haotian said.

This time, Lu Canghai didn’t say anything more but hung up the phone. He left his office alone, heading towards the agreed meeting spot while pondering how Situ Haotian managed to climb back up from Hell to Heaven in just a few days.

Five minutes later, Lu Canghai arrived on time at the designated meeting spot and was surprised to see an unremarkable Passat sedan. Inside, he spotted Situ Haotian behind the wheel.
