Chapter 572: Chapter 617: Spreading the Net

"Evidence?"

"Yeah, where’s the evidence?"

In high-class venues like Purple Vine Bay, it’s impossible to install cameras in the private rooms. If cameras were installed, it would invade the privacy of the guests.

Yet now, Lin Feng and Fang Muye wanted to find evidence but couldn’t find any.

Eye witnesses?

Yes, they both saw Fang Yi enter the private room, but when Fang Yi came out again, Fang Jupeng and Lin Zheng had already become comatose. However... seeing Fang Yi’s confident and calm demeanor, they felt it was useless.

Both were silent and then realized that Fang Yi had done this intentionally. Given the state of the victims, now concussed and comatose, sending Fang Yi to jail in this respect was simply impossible!

Several guards went upstairs and then hurried back down. One whispered a few words into Li Xue’s ear.

Li Xue’s face turned cold and she commanded, "Seal off this area, then conduct an investigation."

Lin Feng exploded in anger, "You little brat from the Bai Family! I told you to arrest him, did you hear me?"

"Little brat?" Li Xue snorted derisively, looking down at Lin Feng, and said, "I’m a direct descendant of the Bai Family, at least. Lin Feng, you are just a collateral member of the Lin Family, and you dare to shout at me... Arrest him!"

Out of the blue, Li Xue pointed at Lin Feng.

Lin Feng was taken aback and then furiously ranted, almost uncontrollably spewing out words that basically accused Li Xue of being arrogant, not taking the Lin Family seriously. Unbeknownst to him, this only fueled Li Xue’s anger even more.

Two guards took Lin Feng away. Li Xue hummed lightly and muttered to herself, "Hmph! This is my turf in Moon City, and you dare to challenge me?" Her voice wasn’t loud but not soft either. After finishing, she turned to look at Fang Muye.

Fang Muye was a bit pale, knowing that provoking Li Xue right now was extremely unwise. It was a struggle for his facial muscles to produce a smile as he said, "I’m not like that Lin Feng, I didn’t say anything."

"Is that so?" Li Xue replied with a question.

"...Yes."

"Fine, then get lost," Li Xue said indifferently.

Fang Muye bowed his head slightly, his current posture extremely awkward. In Tianjing, he was considered influential as a member of the Fang Family, and under normal circumstances, he wouldn’t take Li Xue seriously. However, at that moment, he had no choice but to lower his stance even further.

After all, Moon City was indeed Li Xue’s territory, and she now held real power as the head of the Guard Department. Fang Muye might have status and strength in Tianjing, but not here in Moon City.

Thus, Fang Muye had to humble himself.

Following that, Li Xue ordered the accompanying guards to start cleaning up the mess. She approached Fang Yi, looked him up and down, causing him to instinctively step back two paces.

Meanwhile, Song Wuliang took the initiative to come closer, incessantly blinking at Li Xue: "Look at me! Look at me quick!"

Li Xue, looking at Song Wuliang’s chubby face, said impatiently, "What’s there to see in that fat pig face of yours?"

"..."

Smack!

Suddenly, a slap landed on Song Wuliang’s face.

"Alliance Hierarch, why did you hit me?" Song Wuliang was stunned by Li Xue’s slap.

Fang Yi snickered.

Li Xue sheepishly said, "Sorry, I’ve contracted a disease that makes me want to hit someone involuntarily. I can’t control my limbs."

No sooner had she finished speaking, Li Xue kicked out, hitting Song Wuliang on the leg, who promptly ran off.

Li Xue turned back around and just happened to notice Fang Yi smiling at her. She smiled back, slightly embarrassed, "I can’t control myself," she said, with a coquettish tone.

"I know," Fang Yi didn’t tell Li Xue that her ’condition’ was getting worse.

"Right, spill it, how did you manage to cripple Fourth Master Fang and Third Master Lin?" Li Xue suddenly remembered this and asked with great excitement.

"You’re the head of the Guard Department, if I tell you, you won’t arrest me, will you?" Fang Yi teased.

Li Xue rolled her eyes and said, "If this heroine wanted to arrest you, I would have done so already."

Fang Yi smiled and still recounted the whole story to Li Xue.

Li Xue pondered for a moment and said, "Alright, I will go all out to issue a warrant for Blood Buddha Mie Nian, hmph, not content with being a monk at Shaolin Temple, he actually came to the city to cause trouble, utterly despicable."

He was never a good monk to begin with.

"Thanks," Fang Yi said.

With the official support of Li Xue, Fang Yi did not expect the guards to catch Mie Nian, he just needed them to deter Mie Nian enough so that he wouldn’t come looking for trouble.

Then Fang Yi and Song Wuliang left Purple Vine Bay together.

They exchanged a few pleasantries on the way, and soon after, Fang Yi and Song Wuliang went their separate ways.

The next day, after breakfast, Fang Yi went downstairs to buy a newspaper from the kiosk outside the residential area, lit a cigarette, and glanced at the paper. The headline was about the incident last night at Purple Vine Bay.

However, what the newspaper reported was quite different from the facts, with many deceptive elements. For instance, the fight between Mie Nian and Hua Huiyue, which no one had seen, and Fang Jupeng and Lin Zheng becoming vegetative, which was not reported — they just mentioned someone causing a ruckus at Purple Vine Bay.

Fang Yi returned the paper and thought it over, deciding to give Kong Qingci a call. However, Kong Qingci did not answer, which made Fang Yi somewhat puzzled.

Then, a message came through.

"I apologize for my disciple’s lack of discipline" ----- Kong Qingci.

Fang Yi sighed. Kong Qingci felt like she owed him an apology. With a resigned smile, Fang Yi knew Kong Qingci was such a face-conscious person and immediately sent a message back —— It’s not your fault.

Fang Yi pocketed his phone and left the kiosk.

In the following period, Fang Yi visited the Dragon Soul Alliance to inquire about the Gold Mine and learned that the mining was almost done and the gold could be processed and shipped out.

Gold has many uses: it can be used for experiments, as well as for making jewelry, ornaments, and a lot of luxury items.

"Alliance Hierarch, I think we can transport these gold to Lank City for processing and then ship it overseas," Su Ge’er suggested.

"Yang Dingfeng’s idea?" Fang Yi asked.

"Yes."

"Alright, that works," Fang Yi said. He too wanted the gold mine to be quickly turned into funds.

Although Yang Dingfeng had his own agenda when he proposed this idea, it was indeed a good suggestion. However, there was an important issue, which was that Fang Yi was not familiar with Lank City.

To establish a production line, or rather a base in Lank City, would prove very challenging.

Fang Yi called Yang Dingfeng over and asked him to scope out Lank City first; once that side was ready, they would start transporting the goods.

Yang Dingfeng was overjoyed upon hearing this news and assured with a thump of his chest that he would handle this matter well.

Afterwards, Fang Yi left the Dragon Soul Alliance and headed to his own Tianyi Company; after looking around and seeing no issues, Fang Yi thought of Longtu Group.

"I wonder if Shen Binan misses me," musing over this thought, Fang Yi headed to Longtu Group.

Meanwhile, Shen Binan was dealing with an extremely troublesome matter.

Besides Shen Binan, there was also Shen Hongyang.

The father and daughter duo were currently in the office, their faces clouded with worry.
