Chapter 392: Chapter 418, You’re Done For

Kong Lingxuan raised an eyebrow when he saw Kong Linghai approaching. His heart skipped a beat, not without reason; although they were brothers, their relationship was far from amicable, even openly hostile at times.

In a prominent family like the Kong Family in Moon City, disputes among brothers turning into enmities were common occurrences.

It was said that once you entered the aristocracy, it was as deep as the sea, and it was with Kong Linghai that Kong Lingxuan specifically had a strained relationship.

Moreover, Kong Linghai held another identity that truly made Kong Lingxuan wary: he was the Sect Leader of the Hundred Immortals Sect.

The sudden arrival of Kong Linghai took Kong Lingxuan by surprise. He had not expected Kong Linghai to show up unexpectedly and even directly make his way here.

Kong Lingxuan’s gaze swept unintentionally over Fang Yi and Kong Qingci. Seeing the unchanged, even somewhat comfortable smiles on their faces, Kong Lingxuan suddenly realized that this was a setup.

The muscles at the corner of Kong Lingxuan’s eyes twitched as he sneered, "Good! Good! Qingci, my dear niece, I never thought you would collude with outsiders to scheme against your fourth uncle. Big brother truly has a wonderful daughter!"

Kong Qingci, calm as an ancient well, responded, "This is all self-inflicted, uncle. If you had relented earlier, the sky and sea would be wide open."

Kong Lingxuan coldly said, "But you think by bringing your third uncle here, I would step back? I, Kong Lingxuan, have weathered many storms - if I were so easily defeated by you all, I would be utterly useless."

Kong Qingci smiled faintly, neither confirming nor denying.

Kong Linghai had already approached; not only had Kong Linghai arrived, but people from the Hundred Immortals Sect were also with him.

"Fourth brother," Kong Linghai greeted with a smile as he approached.

"Third brother," responded Kong Lingxuan in a nonchalant manner, "What wind blew you here from Moon City? I remember that this isn’t a place you can reach out to. Aren’t you supposed to be staying in your territory, what are you doing running to my patch?"

Kong Linghai smiled slightly and said, "I’ve heard about your feud with this Fang Yi. Fourth brother, let bygones be bygones, why bother fighting with a minor character?"

Kong Lingxuan replied, "He’s not a minor character if it involves you stepping in, third brother. I want to know, you didn’t come all this way from the Hundred Immortals Sect just to plead his case, did you?"

Kong Linghai nodded slightly, "Not entirely. I just want you to know that it’s not too late to step back now; otherwise, it’ll be too late for regrets."

Kong Lingxuan’s eyes flashed with sharp intensity, "Third brother, this isn’t Moon City, this is Southern Domain City. Here, I’m the boss."

Kong Linghai gave a noncommittal nod and smile, glancing at Kong Qingci, who then took out her phone and played a recording.

"Sis, I actually have no real purpose here, as you know, I’m a man, and I like women, Xu He is a celebrity..."

"That bastard Fang Yi; when I see him, I’m definitely going to kill him..."

"These villagers, screw them, my dad is the top man in Southern Domain City, it’d only take a minute to kill them!"

"Sis, when can dad come?"

...

In the hands of Kong Qingci, the phone played a recording, not of someone else, but indeed of Kong Mingkai.

Kong Mingkai’s face changed color. He immediately reached out to snatch the phone, but Kong Qingci stepped back, leaving Kong Mingkai frozen in place. The cold sneer on Kong Qingci’s lips infuriated him immensely.

"Kong Qingci! You’re framing me! You wretched woman!" Kong Mingkai, seething with rage, had his features contorted.

Fang Yi, standing nearby, frowned and said, "Younger brother, what kind of character does your son have to randomly curse people, especially his own cousin? How can he curse like that without feeling any shame!"

Kong Lingxuan did not stop him; the recording had infuriated him too. With his shrewdness, he instantly realized that Kong Qingci had set a trap for his son. From the tone of his son in the recording, it seemed his son was being sold out yet blindly helping to count the money.

It was infuriating, utterly infuriating! How could he have raised such a foolish son!

However foolish, that was still his son. Kong Lingxuan’s old face lost its luster, as if he had been slapped.

Taking a deep breath, Kong Lingxuan stared at Kong Qingci and said, "Qingci, you are getting smarter and smarter, no wonder the old man and big brother value you so much. Mingkai falling into your hands is his own fault, but do you really think you can take me down this easily? Isn’t that a bit too fanciful?"

Kong Qingci’s pretty face showed a bitter smile. In the political arena, the information she had was indeed not enough to take down an official like Kong Lingxuan. The deeds were done by Kong Mingkai, not Kong Lingxuan. Without Kong Lingxuan’s direct involvement, she couldn’t take him down.

Kong Qingci gracefully acknowledged this reality with a nod of her head.

Kong Lingxuan immediately laughed heartily, then turned his head to look at Kong Linghai and said, "Third brother, what about you? Do you have any leverage against me? If not, then it seems you’ve made a wasted trip here today."

Kong Linghai also frowned and looked at Kong Qingci. It was this girl who had called him here, expecting that she was fully prepared. However, from the current situation, it seemed not.

Suddenly, Kong Linghai noticed Fang Yi standing next to Kong Qingci. Unbeknownst to him, Fang Yi had lit a cigarette, his mouth holding it as he watched Kong Lingxuan’s complacently smiling face, with a hint of mockery in his eyes.

The next moment, Fang Yi held his cigarette and exhaled a puff of smoke, a slight smile on his lips as he said, "Kong Lingxuan, it seems you are laughing a bit too early."

Kong Lingxuan was startled, then scoffed, "Just because of you?"

Fang Yi nodded with a calm expression: "Yes, just because of me."

Not far away, a Land Rover sped towards them. The car door opened, and two men jumped out — a lean man and a robust man. The robust man was holding a briefcase.

They quickly walked towards Fang Yi, ignoring Kong Lingxuan and went straight to Fang Yi.

"Special Envoy Fang," the lean man respectfully greeted him and took the briefcase from the robust man, handing it to Fang Yi.

"When did I become a ’Special Envoy’? Lin Chen?" Fang Yi took the briefcase, puzzled.

"Deputy Director Zhao said so," Huang Tian replied gruffly.

Special Envoy? It seems that Ning Nan handing over the Dragon King Token to him was no secret, even Zhao Guosheng knew about it.

But Fang Yi didn’t bother to fuss about that; instead, he directly lifted the briefcase in front of Kong Lingxuan, smiling, "Come on, receive the decree."

Kong Lingxuan coldly said, "Kid, you sure have a lot of tricks!"

Special Envoy? What was that?

Kong Lingxuan fearlessly took the briefcase, pulled open the zipper, and confidently picked out a document at random. He was curious to find out what the other party was up to.

However, after briefly scanning the document, Kong Lingxuan’s expression turned to sheer panic as if struck by lightning, as if he had seen a ghost. Then, when Kong Lingxuan looked at Fang Yi again, he was utterly shocked.

Fang Yi, with his hands in his pockets and a cigarette in his mouth, smiled faintly, "If you don’t want others to know, don’t do it yourself, Kong Lingxuan, you’re done for."
