Chapter 516 - 516 515 Banquet Invitation

Su Xuan was summoned to the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce by Xiong Sandao to inquire about Zhong Feiying’s situation.

Su Xuan drove the limited edition Lamborghini all the way there at top speed.

“Su Xuan, you owe me an explanation for this matter,”

Xiong Sandao sat in the premier position in the conference hall, with four Hall Masters seated beside him.

Xiong Sandao had established five hall branches to manage different areas.

Among these branches, Fei Ying Hall, led by Zhong Feiying, boasted the greatest strength and was the person Xiong Sandao valued most.

This time, by putting him and Su Xuan in the same team, the implication was clear: to keep a close eye on Su Xuan’s movements and prevent any underhanded tactics.

Who would have thought, who could have imagined, in the end, Zhong Feiying would still end up sacrificing himself.

Xiong Sandao wanted to apprehend Su Xuan, but without evidence, it made things difficult for him; he was eighty percent sure that Su Xuan was the undercover agent, but if suspicions were anything to go by, what would be the need for evidence in police investigations.

Upon hearing Xiong Sandao demanding an explanation, Su Xuan immediately responded with a deep sadness, “Zhong Feiying was a Hall Master.

If it weren’t for him discovering the enemy and signaling us to retreat immediately, you might not be seeing me right now.”

“What about the others from Fei Ying Hall?”

“The others?

Haven’t they returned?

We dispersed in different directions, unfamiliar with the terrain, and ultimately lost each other,”

Su Xuan explained.

“Humph!

Not a single person from Fei Ying Hall returned, and what about you?”

“Us?”

Speaking with grief in his tone, Su Xuan said through clenched teeth, “We lost four-fifths of our manpower this time.

I didn’t expect the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce to act so ruthlessly.

I share no common ground with them!”

Xiong Sandao was unsure if Su Xuan had really lost so many men, but reports from his informants indicated that Su Xuan’s people returned in complete disarray.

Su Xuan carefully watched Xiong Sandao’s demeanor, thinking to himself that it was fortunate that they had intentionally dirtied their faces and clothes on the way back, even feigning limps.

“Where’s Zhong Feiying’s body?”

“It should be in the hands of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce.

No, that’s not right.

I only saw Zhong Feiying deeply surrounded by the enemy, but I didn’t witness him being killed,”

Su Xuan said deliberately.

“Are you suggesting Zhong Feiying might still be alive?”

Su Xuan nodded to indicate that it was possible.

“Someone, get me Wei Zhentian from the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce on the line.

I want to ask about Zhong Feiying’s status.

If he’s really not dead, I’m willing to trade venues for him,”

In this attack by the Black Wolf Gang on the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce, aside from Fei Ying Hall suffering defeat, the other four halls had a victorious start, seizing over a dozen venues.

Except for a few tasked with guarding Fei Ying Hall, nearly no one else survived; it was a total wipe-out.

After the first clash between the two sides, although the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce lost over a dozen venues, by annihilating Fei Ying Hall, they managed to establish their prowess, which made Xiong Sandao wary.

Xiong Sandao was now somewhat regretful, regretting that he had allied with Su Xuan.

Previously, there had been discord and mutual suspicion between him and Zhong Feiying, resulting in the current uncertainty of Zhong Feiying’s whereabouts.

“Su Xuan, although we are allies, with Zhong Feiying’s disappearance, I believe you are directly involved,”

“Correct, this weighs heavily on me too.

But in that critical situation, if I hadn’t left, it’s likely I would have been lost as well.”

“You bear an inescapable responsibility for this matter.

Finding Zhong Feiying will be your task.

I give you three days,”

Xiong Sandao said displeased.

Su Xuan readily agreed.

After all, they were allies, but now, by the tone of Xiong Sandao’s voice, it was as if Su Xuan was one of his subordinates.

In his heart, Su Xuan sneered, “Let Xiong Sandao be arrogant a while longer; eventually, he will have no choice but to kneel and beg me.”

The meeting had just begun when the old butler from the Black Wolf Club walked in and whispered something into Xiong Sandao’s ear.

Xiong Sandao stood up from his seat and rushed to the next room, picked up the phone and said coldly, “Wei Zhentian, how dare you still call.

Where exactly is Zhong Feiying from Fei Ying Hall now?”

“Oh, what Fei Ying?

I must say I don’t understand,”

The caller was indeed Wei Zhentian, the Big Master of the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce.

“The one surrounded by your men in Sishui Town,” Xiong Sandao persisted.

“Oh, now I know.

Completely annihilated,”

Wei Zhentian’s words were delivered nonchalantly, and Xiong Sandao nearly burst into curses, shouting, “You mean, the Hall Master of Fei Ying Hall, Zhong Feiying, is dead?!”

“Ah, why didn’t you say earlier that there was a Hall Master involved?

If I had known, I wouldn’t have killed him.

My bad, my mistake,”

“Just you wait, the Black Wolf Gang is not to be trifled with!”

“Hey, hold on, do you even want the corpse of your Hall Master?

If not, I’ll just throw it to the dogs,”

Xiong Sandao felt suffocated, as if his throat was clenched, and he forced himself to ask, “What do you want?”

“Simple.

If you really want it, exchange all the venues you took from the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce,”

“Delusional!”

“How about this?

Considering your tiresome journey, I’ll give you an 80% discount, return a few small venues to you, and take back the rest,”

Xiong Sandao’s hand holding the phone trembled slightly; as a Gang Leader, he had never been blackmailed like this before.

“Deal or no deal—give me a straight answer.”

Wei Zhentian began to urge the matter, and Miao Qingfeng, who stood beside him, gave Big Master a thumbs-up.

He never expected that the body of Zhong Feiying could still be exchanged for some venues.

“We can only give up to five venues,”

Xiong Sandao considered and said, it was mainly for the sake of showing the other Hall Masters and to demonstrate the Gang Leader’s righteousness to retrieve Zhong Feiying’s body.

“Considering we’ve been old rivals for years, let it be five venues.

Have your people come and take them later,”

After hanging up the phone, Xiong Sandao cursed, “Typical of a businessman, the old guy always talks about cost for everything.”

When he returned to the meeting room and shared the unfortunate news that Zhong Feiying was dead, everyone showed a pained expression, but deep down, they all had their own little schemes.

Zhong Feiying’s Flying Eagle Hall had always had the upper hand over the other Halls in any undertaking; with Zhong dead, they couldn’t help feeling a bit of schadenfreude.

When Xiong Sandao mentioned that Zhong Feiying was dead, he intentionally glanced at Su Xuan a few times.

Su Xuan took out a handkerchief and gently wiped the corner of his eye, acting all too convincing.

When the other Hall Masters heard about exchanging five venues for Zhong Feiying’s body, they were unhappy, because the dead cannot be brought back to life.

These venues had been won over with their lives, and it was truly annoying to just give them away like that.

“Today we give away five venues; someday we will reclaim five hundred!”

Xiong Sandao said fiercely.

Su Xuan yawned, finding these absurd slogans extremely boring.

Su Xuan was now very cautious about a particular issue, the locator button given by Miao Qingfeng.

He only wore it during military maneuvers, not wanting Miao Qingfeng to know his whereabouts at other times.

Just as Su Xuan was about to fall asleep, the meeting finally ended, but Xiong Sandao held him back.

He said to him, “Su Xuan, don’t be discouraged.

Although your action this time has failed, overall, our troops have made progress.

Pick up your confidence; defeating the Lingnan Chamber of Commerce isn’t difficult.”

Just a moment ago Xiong Sandao was looking fierce, but now he was serving up a motivational pep talk to Su Xuan, making Su Xuan uncertain of his intentions; perhaps he realized that appeasement was the way to get people to listen.

“I’ll call in some more people from Qingshan City to help in the next few days.”

Su Xuan made a bold claim to Xiong Sandao, encouraging him not to be disappointed about the alliance, promising that the Black Wolf Gang’s springtime would surely come.

Su Xuan drove away from the Black Wolf Club.

Xiong Sandao stood on the balcony, watching Su Xuan’s silhouette disappear, sighing.

He still didn’t know who was right and who was wrong between Zhong Feiying and Su Xuan.

This time, Xiong Sandao’s deployment of troops hadn’t yielded much benefit, and instead, he had lost a valuable general.

After Su Xuan returned from the Black Wolf Club to the Top Diamond KTV and sat down, he received a call from Miao Qingfeng.

Su Xuan even began to suspect whether Miao Qingfeng had been monitoring him all along; his phone call arrived before he could even get comfortable in his chair.

“What’s up?”

“Su Xuan, our Big Master would like to invite you over to our place as a guest.

Will you do us this honor, or rather, will you give me this honor?”

Seeing Su Xuan’s hesitation, Miao Qingfeng added, “Don’t worry, we’ve taken care of the Black Wolf Gang’s spies around your area, you don’t need to come in disguise this time.”

Hearing Miao Qingfeng’s words, Su Xuan was taken aback.

The Lingnan Chamber of Commerce really was full of sincerity.

Initially, Su Xuan was reluctant to go, but then the thought of visiting He Xia’s house changed his mind; he simply had to go!

“Alright, I’m coming over now.”

“Thanks, muah,”

Listening to Miao Qingfeng’s somewhat playful words, Su Xuan felt surprisingly unmoved inside.

Had he lost interest in her so quickly?

No, it had to be He Xia’s overwhelming allure.

This time Su Xuan didn’t bring Azure Dragon and the others, instead opting to drive there alone.

The Lingnan Chamber of Commerce’s territory was relatively safe; he shouldn’t encounter any trouble.

As soon as Su Xuan’s car stopped at Wei Zhentian’s villa, he saw Wei Sijia, Wei Zhentian’s son, waiting at the entrance.

“Master, I’ve finally been able to await your arrival.

I still haven’t mastered the dart skills you taught me before.

Just yesterday, I accidentally hit one of the girls in my class; damn it, I ended up paying quite a lot in hospital bills.”

Without much concern, Su Xuan patted his head and said, “Don’t worry, I’ll teach you again this time.”

Su Xuan looked up from the doorway, hoping to catch a glimpse of He Xia.

He hadn’t seen her since their last visit to Linyun Temple and his late-night solution of her dire thirst; now he wondered how she was.

“Master, come on in, let’s talk inside,”

The dining table was set up in the garden courtyard again, with several cold dishes already laid out.

Wei Zhentian sat right in the middle, and Miao Qingfeng said with a smile, “Su Xuan, come over here.

You have made a great contribution this time, and Big Master really wants to thank you.

Let us know what gift you’d like; we will do whatever we can to provide it.”

At that moment, Su Xuan really wanted to say, “I want He Xia.”

Of course, this thought only flashed through Su Xuan’s mind momentarily, and what he said out loud was, “What contribution?

It’s just that the Black Wolf Gang’s forces are too weak.”

Wei Zhentian waved his hand and said, “Don’t underestimate the forces of the Black Wolf Gang.

If it weren’t for you successfully luring them to the heart of Sishui Town this time, it would have been somewhat difficult to achieve complete annihilation.

By the way, I exchanged Zhong Feiying’s body with Xiong Sandao for five venues.

I didn’t expect that Xiong Sandao would still value righteousness.”

Ah!

Suddenly a piercing scream came from the kitchen.

“What’s the matter, He Xia?”

Wei Zhentian shouted and quickly stood up.

Wei Sijia emerged from the kitchen nonchalantly, his chubby face jiggling as he explained, “No worries, step-mom might have been splashed with oil while cooking.”
