Chapter 271: Chapter 238: "Three Strikes and You’re Out

The sun was setting in the west and dusk was descending, at the parking lot beneath the Dong hai Branch of the Hong Ding Club, located along the Huangpu River, teeming with sedans including luxury cars worth millions and mid-range sedans worth a couple hundred thousand with special license plates and permits.

When the last ray of the sunset completely disappeared behind the horizon, a Hongqi H7 bearing Dong hai City government license plates arrived at the parking lot and parked in the reserved spot right at the center.

The car came to a stop and Bai Luo, dressed in a dark blue suit, stepped out with his briefcase under the watchful, reverent gaze of the security guards and headed towards the Hong Ding Club’s Dong hai Branch, a venue every socialite in the southern half of the country dreamed of entering.

"Chairman, all the members from Dong hai have arrived. Chairman Guan is waiting for you in your room," the club’s manager had been informed of Bai Luo’s arrival and had already been waiting at the entrance for a while. He hurried forward to greet him and reported with a bow.

Bai Luo gave a slight nod and entered into the club, taking the private elevator straight to the top floor.

The top floor of the club consisted of a banquet hall that could accommodate nearly a hundred people and a suite, the former for gatherings of the club’s personnel, and the latter, Bai Luo’s residence at the club, featured an interior with six rooms including a living room, study, bedroom, bathroom, gym, and dining room, all fully equipped.

"You’re here."

In the living room of the suite, Guan Lin, dressed in a leather jacket and pants, was lounging on the sofa with her legs crossed. She stood up immediately upon seeing Bai Luo enter, greeting him with a smile.

"Mhm," Bai Luo nodded, handed the briefcase to Guan Lin, and asked, "What was the matter with the traffic accident this morning?"

"Master Wu was driving carelessly and rear-ended someone. The person was a woman associated with that bastard from the Ye family, the same woman who was rude to you back at Tan’s Private Kitchen, named Liu Li," Guan Lin reported, and then couldn’t resist chuckling spitefully. "Remembering her insolence and disrespect towards you, I secretly used the Cui Qing Technique on her, causing her to embarrass herself publicly. Unexpectedly, it caused her uterus to hemorrhage severely, nearly sending her to meet King Yan."

"I heard that the traffic police took Master Wu away?" Bai Luo inquired further.

"Yes," Guan Lin’s eyes flashed with anger, "This makes me furious. Is Feng Dong thinking that the Guan family has no backing?"

"He has long been colluding with that Ye family’s bastard, otherwise he could never have become the overlord of Dong hai’s underworld," Bai Luo said disdainfully, then rubbed his temple and reminded Guan Lin, considering Bai Guotao’s warning earlier, "That bastard never lets things slide; since you almost caused the death of the woman by his side due to uterine hemorrhage, he won’t let it go easily. You should return to the American Alliance immediately to avoid his retaliation."

"He just has the strength comparable to someone at the Peak Stage of Innate, doesn’t he?" Guan Lin dismissively responded, "I’ve also stepped into the Innate Great Success Realm, he can’t even touch a single hair on me!"

"Oh?"

Bai Luo was momentarily surprised, then added, "He’s not just an Innate Great Success Martial Artist but also an Early Innate Mage."

"Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts?"

Since Bai Luo had secretly assigned Duan Sect magician from Ghost Sect to assassinate Ye Fan, the members of the Hong Ding Club were unaware of this, and because Guan Lin had been secluded in cultivation, both Bai Luo and Uncle Guan had not informed her of this incident. Therefore, Guan Lin was not aware of Ye Fan’s Dual Cultivation until Bai Luo mentioned it, catching her by surprise.

As a successor of the Lan Hua Sect, she knew very well how difficult Dual Cultivation of Magic and Martial Arts was, let alone mastering Martial Arts and Magic to reach the Innate Realm!

"Yes."

Bai Luo nodded, "While you were in seclusion, I secretly sent Uncle Guan’s magician, Duanmu, to deal with that bastard, but he was counter-killed by Fan!"

"Would he dare to break Yanhuang Organization’s rules and make a move on me?" Even though the news of Ye Fan’s Dual Cultivation was hard for Guan Lin to accept, she did not believe Ye Fan would dare to do so.

"Just to be safe, you should leave for now," Bai Luo also felt unsure, but equally believed Ye Fan wouldn’t let things slide.

"Alright."

Guan Lin agreed somewhat reluctantly and then, unwilling to give in, added, "Are we just going to let that bastard walk all over us? Maybe I should secretly contact someone when I get back and send two Peak stage experts into Huaxia to send him straight to Yama Palace!"

"No need," Bai Luo waved his hand dismissively.

"Are you worried about being discovered by the Yanhuang Organization? Don’t worry, I’ll have others make the contact. Even if the Yanhuang Organization finds out, they won’t be able to trace it back to us," Guan Lin confidently said, "As long as it can’t be traced back to us, not even Wenhao could do anything about us, right?"

"I’m not worried about being discovered, but rather, keeping the bastard alive temporarily benefits us," Bai Luo smiled subtly.

"Why?" Guan Lin was puzzled.

"A month ago, Wenhao’s wife, Qin Yan, came to Dong hai and met that bastard, and it seems they fell out badly. Over the past month, the gang that the bastard secretly controls in Dong hai has launched attacks on Nanqinghong. Because Wenhao intervened, some people within the Ye Family Camp have been turning a blind eye," Bai Luo’s eyes sparkled as he spoke coldly, "Originally, that bastard was never acknowledged or favored by the Ye family. Now that Wenhao is using the power of the Ye Family Camp to cover his tracks, this would definitely evoke severe disapproval, perhaps even sparking internal conflict within the Ye Family Camp. By then, the higher-ups won’t just sit idly by!"

"So you want him to cause Wenhao to miss his chance to reach the pinnacle of power, to incite internal conflict within the Ye Family Camp, and then send him to meet King Yan?" Guan Lin instantly grasped the plan.

"Yes."

A cold gleam flickered in Bai Luo’s eyes, the humiliation he suffered when he knelt before Ye Fan was something he could never forget. He had not sought revenge sooner partly due to Bai Guotao’s warning and more so because he felt the timing was not yet ripe.

"Then let him jump around a bit longer." Guan Lin smiled, then, with a flirtatious tone, added, "I’ll stay tonight to keep you company and help you cleanse your marrow and purify your body."

"Mhm."

Bai Luo, upon hearing these words, couldn’t help but recall the ethereal ecstasy he felt while in bed with Guan Lin.

That sensation was something no other woman could offer him!

Meanwhile,

In a private dining room of a modestly famous restaurant in Dong hai, Feng Dong, who held a significant position and was the top official in the Dong hai’s police force, sat opposite Zhao Meng, the head of the Yanhuang Organization’s Dong hai Office, waiting for the waiter to serve their dishes.

"Director Zhao, it seems you aren’t the least bit worried about the Ye Family making a move on Guan Yi’s daughter, are you?" Feng Dong exhaled a plume of smoke and chuckled.

"Do you think he would make a move?"

Zhao Meng hesitated slightly, then responded with a laugh, guessing that Feng Dong’s invitation for dinner was mostly concerning this morning’s traffic accident. He did not expect Feng Dong would get right to the point about this matter.

"He would."

Feng Dong’s smile faded slightly, his eyes sparking with intensity as he said, "Not only is he fiercely loyal, but he also never lets a grudge go unanswered. He naturally seeks to vent this pent-up frustration."

"I think so too, otherwise he wouldn’t have caused the kneeling incident at Tan’s Private Kitchen that day," Zhao Meng said, laughing.

Seeing Zhao Meng’s carefree smile, Feng Dong grew curiously tentative: "Aren’t you worried at all that he will cause a significant upheaval?"

"Secretary Feng, you demonstrated your position by ordering your subordinates to arrest Guan’s driver immediately," Zhao Meng stated with clear understanding.

"If I’m not wrong, you chose to stand by him not just because of the power dynamics within the Ye Family, but also because of his personal qualities, right?"

"Director Zhao, what are you suggesting?" Feng Dong appeared slightly embarrassed as if a secret from his heart had been exposed.

"You can see that he is not as simple-minded and prone to violence as rumors suggest, right?" Zhao Meng asked smilingly.

Feng Dong smiled, covering his embarrassment, "It seems you’ve noticed that too, Director Zhao."

"If he were as the rumors portrayed, Bai Luo would have paid with his life for breaking the rules and attempting to have him assassinated!"

Zhao Meng indirectly offered his answer.

Feng Dong snuffed out his cigarette, his smile undiminished, "So in your opinion, he will seek revenge but won’t breach the laws and regulations of the Yanhuang Organization?"

"Yes," Zhao Meng nodded.

"Then what do you think he will do?" Feng Dong asked again.

"I don’t know how he will do it."

Zhao Meng shook his head, his expression loaded with meaning, "But as the saying goes, ’once and twice is bearable, but not a third time.’ Whether it’s Guan Yi’s daughter or the young members of the Bai Family, they won’t escape this time!"

"You have that much confidence in him?" Feng Dong was somewhat surprised.

"Don’t you have complete confidence in him as well?" Zhao Meng laughed heartily, but he knew well that a disciple personally chosen by the Evil Emperor Chu Xuanji could not be compared to the self-inflated waste that was Bai Luo!

Ao Xiang Villa.

Pan Jueming drove the Mercedes S700 up to the villa where Ye Fan lived, stopped the car, and carried a suitcase straight into the courtyard.

In the courtyard, Ye Fan was sitting cross-legged on a jade stone, cultivating his skills while Little Wolf lay beside him, bored.

"Owooooo~"

Recognizing someone was entering, Little Wolf stood up and howled before recognizing it was Pan Jueming and lazily sprawled back onto the ground.

"Mr. Ye, I’ve obtained the items you requested, sourced directly from the military of the American Alliance, and they are of the most advanced kind," Pan Jueming, carrying the suitcase, walked right up to where Ye Fan was sitting and bowed to report.

He had received a call from Ye Fan that morning, in which Ye Fan told him to secretly acquire some equipment.

Although he didn’t know what Ye Fan intended to use the equipment for, he guessed that it was related to the morning’s traffic accident and that Ye Fan was planning his retaliation. Thus, he had used the shortest time possible to acquire the needed equipment and, as Ye Fan had instructed, to avoid any leaks, he personally delivered them.

"Understood." Ye Fan stopped his cultivation and leaped down from the jade stone.

"Mr. Ye, is there anything else I need to do?" Pan Jueming volunteered.

"Jueming, I’m not telling you my plan not because I don’t trust you, but because I fear a slip-up and have decided to take matters into my own hands," Ye Fan pondered for a moment, his eyes gleaming coldly, "Bai Luo has been buzzing around for too long now. This time, I must crush him!"
