Lin Jiuhe was indeed stunned.
He truly hadn't expected Lin Shuainan and the others to be so audacious!
In his previous estimations, Lin Shuainan and Ling Feng would at most be targeting the cultivation techniques about to be auctioned.
Lin Jiuhe had encountered such individuals before.
Some wanted to act in advance, using their information to find the sellers early.
Some were even more desperate, planning to intercept or rob the cultivation techniques directly during transit.
Of course, the fate of such individuals at the hands of Lin Jiuhe and his associates was always utterly tragic.
However, the most common type were those with ill intentions who wanted to cause trouble within the auction house.
The most concerning among them were naturally those from official circles, wanting to enter their auction house to investigate something.
There had been some media outcry before, but the matter never escalated significantly and was easily dealt with by Lin Jiuhe and his team.
They were the kind who could be appeased with a bit of money.
Yet, even with such easily resolved issues, they preferred to avoid any trouble. If things were to blow up, it would affect everyone's livelihood.
Therefore, when encountering such situations, they always took them seriously. After understanding the background and confirming the motives of the parties involved, they would even directly eliminate these individuals.
Unfortunately, this time they had completely failed!
Moreover, Lin Jiuhe could basically confirm the identities of these people.
"You, who exactly are you?"
Lin Jiuhe still asked, his voice trembling.
*Slap, slap!*
Lin Shuainan showed no courtesy to Lin Jiuhe, delivering heavy slaps to the back of his head without restraint.
"Old man, still spouting nonsense? Say what you're asked, or I'll kill you right now!"
As he spoke, Lin Shuainan produced a gleaming dagger.
However, Lin Shuainan didn't place the dagger on Lin Jiuhe's neck. Instead, he brought it to his own mouth and licked it with his tongue!
It was evident that Lin Shuainan was getting into character, treating himself as a cold-blooded killer.
His wide eyes, contorted facial lines, and the somewhat disgusting flick of his tongue.
Lin Shuainan's current appearance was indeed somewhat frightening!
Lin Jiuhe was on the verge of wetting himself from fear.
But in the next moment, Lin Shuainan's tongue began to bleed. The pain made him quickly pull the dagger away and turn to anxiously call out to Ling Feng.
"Brother, I'm bleeding, do you have a band-aid!"
Ling Feng's mouth twitched.
This brat always faltered at critical moments. Why did he have to imitate a cold-blooded killer by licking a dagger?
Now, if the wound wasn't treated promptly, it would heal...
Lin Jiuhe was bewildered, and Yang Fei's mouth twitched uncontrollably, nearly bursting into laughter.
Holding back laughter was truly a painful experience!
Following that, Ling Feng raised his hand and pushed Lin Shuainan aside, reaching out with one hand directly towards Lin Jiuhe's head!
Lin Jiuhe's mouth opened wide in terror, wanting to shout something.
But before any sound could escape Lin Jiuhe's lips, he completely lost consciousness.
His eyes rolled back, and a bit of white saliva dripped from his mouth.
His entire body trembled, as if all his essence was converging towards his head.
And these things were being absorbed by Ling Feng's palm!
Ling Feng, of course, wouldn't do such a pointless thing. Ling Feng was currently employing the Soul Extraction technique, a method that could read a person's memories!
Ling Feng had already mastered this technique proficiently when he was in the Golden Core stage.
Now, executing it was incredibly easy, especially since Lin Jiuhe's strength was not significant at all. Therefore, reading the memories in this fellow's mind was truly quite simple!
Soon, Ling Feng's eyes narrowed slightly.
The True Essence on his hand dissipated, and Lin Jiuhe's body went limp, falling to the ground and still twitching. Even if this fellow survived, he would be a cripple for the rest of his life.
Yang Fei and Lin Shuainan both crowded over.
But before they could ask anything, Ling Feng, with a chilling expression, turned and walked towards the outside!
The two exchanged a glance, slightly taken aback, and then chased after Ling Feng.
It wasn't until they got into the car that Lin Shuainan couldn't help but ask, "Brother, what's the situation? What you did to that old guy just now was the legendary Soul Extraction technique, right? Did that old guy have a lot of unspeakable, dirty secrets in his head?"
Ling Feng's eyes closed slightly.
He was in a state of resting with his eyes closed.
Of course, it wasn't because the previous actions had made Ling Feng feel tired or anything.
It was entirely because Ling Feng had indeed seen many unspeakable, dirty things in Lin Jiuhe's mind.
Especially things between men and women.
This Lin Jiuhe was truly a perverted fellow, deserving of death!
Originally, Ling Feng would have given this fellow a quick end and sent him on his way after obtaining some useful information.
But after seeing some of these guys' memories, Ling Feng directly changed his mind.
Ling Feng wanted this old man to die in endless agony!
This was what the old man deserved!
Just as he was about to shake off those unbearable memories from his mind, Lin Shuainan uttered such a sentence.
This naturally made Ling Feng somewhat displeased.
However, Lin Shuainan was quite accurate in his judgment, actually guessing that Lin Jiuhe was a lecherous old pervert!
After a two-second silence, Ling Feng slowly opened his eyes, apparently having digested what he had just obtained.
Then, Ling Feng spoke to Lin Shuainan unhurriedly.
"We've found the biggest person in charge in the capital, but Lin Jiuhe never actually met him. We'll have to wait for the auction to begin. However, what we did today is bound to attract some attention, so we'll need to stir up some trouble!"
As Ling Feng's words fell, Yang Fei respectfully volunteered, "Heavenly Venerate, please give your orders!"
"Go to the Kyoto Chamber of Commerce headquarters in the northern part of the city and have the会长 there come to see me!"
Ling Feng casually commanded.
Yang Fei quickly nodded, "Yes!"
Then Yang Fei got out of the car. Lin Shuainan, on the other hand, drove Ling Feng home. As he got out of the car, Lin Shuainan scratched the back of his head with some shame.
"Heh heh, Brother, I messed up this time and had to trouble you to personally handle it!"
Ling Feng glanced at Lin Shuainan, shook his head, and said, "You didn't fail completely. At least you helped us understand some core information more quickly. There's still a mission for you next."
"What mission?"
As soon as Lin Shuainan heard that there was a mission for him, he immediately became excited.
The last mission Ling Feng gave him had made him the center of attention for all the people in the world!
After returning, even his wife Xiuxiu's attitude towards him improved significantly.
This made Lin Shuainan incredibly pleased!
Moreover, Lin Shuainan himself enjoyed this sense of glory. As long as it was a mission given by Ling Feng, he would do his best to complete it!
"The task I have for you is naturally a good one! I'll have a makeup artist come over later to do your makeup!"
Ling Feng smiled faintly at Lin Shuainan and patted him on the shoulder!
Lin Shuainan immediately became excited, "Makeup? Brother, am I going on TV? Heh heh, this is indeed a good job that gets me noticed!"
