Chapter 174: Chapter 174: The bargaining chip that threatens Su Luo

"That possibility can’t be ruled out," Wan Chuanxiong pondered, then said.

Zhou Shihao’s face darkened, "If Su Luo killed Lei Yanwu, then everything would make sense!"

Previously, he had been wondering which Martial Arts Grandmaster he had offended to the point that the person would kill Lei Yanwu as a warning to him, yet not lay a hand on him directly.

But if Su Luo was the one who took action, then everything could be explained.

Purely for revenge.

Though he did not have a Martial Arts Grandmaster by his side, he was accompanied by a large number of armed bodyguards, making it difficult to strike at him, whereas Lei Yanwu lived alone and therefore was vulnerable.

"It’s just a possibility, unless we can confirm that Su Luo indeed has the capability to take down a First-Grade Grandmaster," Wan Chuanxiong said without absolute certainty.

Zhou Shihao nodded.

At that moment, Zhou Shihao’s phone rang. He picked it up and looked.

"Jiang Hongying?"

Zhou Shihao was somewhat surprised.

Jiang Hongying was the wife of the Governor of Jiangnan, He Weiyuan, and also the female grandmaster who had secretly gone to Jiangbei to abduct Lin Ruoxi.

Zhou Shihao thought for a moment, then answered the call.

"Mr. Zhou, I’ve come to Jinling. Let’s meet somewhere," Jiang Hongying said bluntly.

A flash of astonishment crossed Zhou Shihao’s eyes.

What was Jiang Hongying doing in Jinling?

Other than coming for Su Luo, he couldn’t think of any other reason.

After all, her son, ever since being knocked out by Su Luo, seemed to be broken beyond repair, which was something both she and the Governor of Jiangnan could not accept. That’s why even after obtaining the Jade Ruyi, they still insisted on crippling Su Luo.

"Alright!" Zhou Shihao agreed immediately.

After arranging the meeting place, Zhou Shihao left with Wan Chuanxiong.

But after a thought, he turned to Shen Qingzhi, "You’ll come with us too."

"Me too?" Shen Qingzhi frowned slightly.

"Yes!" Zhou Shihao nodded, She was almost at the point where she could be useful, and absolutely nothing could go wrong. From now on, he planned to keep Shen Qingzhi close at all times and watch over her personally.

...

Half an hour later.

Zhou Shihao, along with Shen Qingzhi and Wan Chuanxiong, arrived at the predetermined destination, an elegantly furnished teahouse.

Upon entering,

Zhou Shihao was startled.

He had not anticipated that in the teahouse, aside from Jiang Hongying, there was also the Family Head of the Jinling Xia Family, Xia Hongbo!

"This is Mr. Xia Hongbo, Family Head of the Jinling Xia Family."

"And this is Zhou Shihao, Chairman of the Jiangbei Shihao Group."

Jiang Hongying introduced them proactively.

After exchanging greetings, they took their seats.

"Madam He, now that Mr. Zhou has arrived, you might as well be frank with me about why you have asked me to come," Xia Hongbo looked at Jiang Hongying.

Zhou Shihao also looked at Jiang Hongying, clueless about what Jiang Hongying was planning.

Jiang Hongying smiled, "Of course, it’s about Su Luo. I have a way to capture him."

At these words, Xia Hongbo’s expression subtly changed.

By now, the entire Martial Arts World of Jinling knew that their Xia Family was looking for Su Luo. Even the entire Martial Arts World of the south had heard about it, and many eyes were watching them.

Unfortunately, with all the power of the Xia Family, they had still not found Su Luo, leading many to believe that the Xia Family was not as strong as imagined.

And now, Jiang Hongying herself had come to Jinling, claiming she had a way to capture Su Luo?

If she really were to catch Su Luo in Jinling, externally, it would only further highlight the incompetency of their Xia Family.

However, on the other hand, he indeed loathed Su Luo to the core, wishing he could find Su Luo immediately, and flay, dismember, and scatter his ashes.

Xia Hongbo’s expression was complex, and he stayed silent.

On the contrary, Zhou Shihao immediately asked, "Madam He, may I know what plan you have to capture Su Luo?"

"Su Luo’s strength may not seem very strong, but his skill in hiding is first-rate. Since we can’t find him, we’ll have to find a way to force him out," Jiang Hongying said with a smile.

Xia Hongbo frowned, "How do you plan to force him out? By threatening the people of the Jiangbei Martial Association?"

If that was her plan, he would really think less of Jiang Hongying.

If they were to openly threaten other members of the Jiangbei Martial Association excessively, what they would provoke wouldn’t be Su Luo but Cui Fengyi and the higher-ups of the Huaxia Martial Association.

Zhou Shihao was also puzzled.

Su Luo had no family. The only people close to him in Jiangbei were from the Lin Family, but the Lin Family were not ones easily provoked. After the lesson from last time, it was unlikely that Jiang Hongying could abduct Lin Ruoxi again.

Jiang Hongying smiled and snapped her fingers, "Bring them in."

As her voice fell,

Her subordinates led a mother and daughter out from another room by force.

"Xia Yi?"

Seeing the young yet motherly and stunning woman, Xia Hongbo’s face displayed a hint of surprise, quite unexpectedly.
