Chapter 560: Chapter 603-604, A Bunch of Poseurs

Silenced, huh?

Fang Yi was slightly surprised but not overly so. Li Xue looked at him puzzled and said, "You don’t seem very surprised."

Fang Yi smiled and replied, "What’s there to be surprised about? I guessed as much already."

Li Xue glared, "You’re just bluffing."

Fang Yi didn’t explain; in truth, he had indeed guessed it.

To leave prison, Lin Zheng and Lin Chen’s first step would undoubtedly be destroying the evidence.

And the so-called evidence was naturally the assassin from Luo Country.

A family of five was wiped out. It was certain Lin Zheng was behind it. Anyone who had dealt with the case knew it was Lin Zheng. However, the trial had been delayed indefinitely, clearly suppressed by the power backing Lin Zheng.

As long as the trial didn’t start and no verdict was rendered, there was still a chance to turn things around. While Lin Zheng was the mastermind, he hadn’t personally taken action. There was a middleman involved, namely the Luo Country assassin.

The assassin from Luo Country was the evidence. Only the dead can’t speak, and once that assassin died, Lin Zheng’s crimes would effectively be erased, for lack of evidence.

Was there anger?

Yes!

In fact, Fang Yi was extremely angry inside. Not being able to bring someone like Lin Zheng, who had committed such evil deeds, to justice was a source of despair not only for Fang Yi but any conscientious person.

Yet that’s the way the world works. When the opposition has money and power, such people can almost rise above the law in today’s society, trampling on its dignity.

Even with high martial arts cultivation, when it came down to it, Fang Yi was just an ordinary human being.

However, Fang Yi had no intention of letting things end here.

"What do you plan to do next?" Li Xue asked.

"What else can I do? Naturally, I’ll return good for good, and revenge for grievances," Fang Yi said with a smile.

But no matter how you looked at it, his smile carried an unmaskable chill, and a cold murderous intent flickered through his eyes.

After leaving the Guard Department, Fang Yi went home for a rest, sleeping soundly as if he had never slept so well before.

He checked his watch and saw it was already the afternoon. He had come home around four in the morning and had slept straight through until now.

He didn’t get up from bed immediately. Fang Yi sat cross-legged on the bed and practiced the "Evil Desire Scripture," strengthening his bones and flesh. Only after did Fang Yi get up to freshen up.

Next, Fang Yi planned to get something to eat.

Just then, his phone suddenly rang. It was Kong Qingci’s number. Fang Yi was pleased and quickly answered, "Qingci."

However, the voice on the other end let out a cold laugh: "Fang Yi, how dare you address me so intimately, as my sister does? You’re courting death!"

"Kong Qingxu?" Fang Yi asked uncertainly.

"My name is for you to call?" Kong Qingxu on the other end sounded highly dissatisfied, as if Fang Yi had tainted him by uttering his name.

Really thinks he’s all that, huh.

Fang Yi responded with a cold laugh, "Kong Qingxu, Kong Qingxu, Kong Qingxu..."

Kong Qingxu finally exploded in anger, "Stop calling that!"

Fang Yi responded indifferently, "Important things must be said three times, I’m just afraid you didn’t know I was calling your name."

"..."

On the other end of the phone, Kong Qingxu seemed to catch his breath, apparently, he was truly angered as he took a deep breath and said, "Fang Yi, I didn’t call you to chit-chat."

Fang Yi replied, "I don’t want to chit-chat with you either. Once I see your sister, I’ll tell her about you using her phone to call me."

Kong Qingxu went from furious to raging, "Fang Yi, are you even a man? Resorting to tattling!"

Fang Yi said lightly, "If you’re a man, you shouldn’t be afraid of me tattling."

"Fine, you win with your sharp tongue; I can’t outtalk you. Since you’re so damn confident, then be a man and come to Purple Vine Bay tonight. Do you dare?" Kong Qingxu tried to provoke Fang Yi.

"Are you treating?" It’s not that he was scared to go, but it would be annoying if he had to spend his own money on dinner.

"If you have the guts, come on. I’ll foot the bill until you’ve had enough."

"Is that so..." Fang Yi touched his empty stomach and said, "Wait for me."

Fang Yi got into the black BMW and drove straight to Purple Vine Bay. In fact, the black BMW he was driving now was the one Kong Qingxu had compensated him with, exchanging a Phoenix bicycle for a black BMW, which gives an idea of how infuriated Kong Qingxu was when he handed over the car.

It was precisely for this reason that Kong Qingxu found Fang Yi utterly unbearable and wished he could strangle him to death.

Upon arriving at Purple Vine Bay, most of the parking spots were already full.

Purple Vine Bay seemed to be doing exceptionally well today, with luxury cars parked one after another. Fang Yi drove around but couldn’t find a spot. Finally, with the help of a parking attendant, he managed to find a space.

The parking attendant was a naive-looking middle-aged man. After getting out of the car, Fang Yi handed him a cigarette and said, "Thanks, brother."

The middle-aged man hastily smiled and said, "Mr. Fang, it’s all part of the job, my duty."

Fang Yi couldn’t help asking, "You know me?"

The middle-aged man smiled, "You frequent this place and you’re often seen with Miss Kong, how could I not recognize you?"

Fang Yi understood, turned to look at the entrance of Purple Vine Bay, and saw that it was festooned with lights and lanterns were hung at the door. A butler dressed in a tailcoat welcomed the guests – it was only missing the lion dance performers.

Fang Yi was curious and asked the middle-aged man, "Brother, has Purple Vine Bay been reserved by someone today?"

The middle-aged man replied, "Yes, I heard it’s some big-shot hosting a welcome party for someone. The person seems to have the last name Lin or something like that, I forget."

Fang Yi nodded, indicating he understood.

Fang Yi figured that Kong Qingxu’s invitation to Purple Vine Bay was not with good intentions, and to his surprise, the venue was so festively decorated today. It seemed tonight would be quite interesting.

When in Rome, do as the Romans do. Fang Yi was naturally fearless, and he genuinely didn’t know the meaning of fear. With that, he took confident strides into Purple Vine Bay.

Inside the glittering Purple Vine Bay, most of the attendees were wealthy and prestigious, all with recognizable names in Moon City or individuals of stature.

These men were well-dressed, slick and shiny, but Fang Yi, dressed in a simple black trench coat, casual black pants, and leather shoes, clean but none of a notable brand, stood out distinctly in the crowd.

However, the place was too crowded for anyone to take notice of Fang Yi. Those who did see him only cast a disdainful glance before quickly redirecting their gaze elsewhere as if soiled by the sight, unwilling to spare Fang Yi another look.

Noting this, Fang Yi was unbothered. Instead, he defiantly took out a cigarette, put it in his mouth, lit it, exhaled a puff of smoke, and muttered to himself:

"A bunch of posers!"
