"Young Master Qi, what do we do now? Things have blown up. The All-People Martial Arts Hall..."
Before the person on the other end could finish, Qi Jun interrupted indifferently, "You don't need to do anything. If we get involved now, we'll only drag ourselves down. Our allies are even more panicked than we are. We're just businessmen, and we have some business competition with Dong Jinghua. Now it's a conflict between the All-People Martial Arts Hall and the War Zone!"
As Qi Jun finished speaking, the other side quickly responded.
The phone call ended, and Qi Jun's gaze became even sharper. Soon, his phone rang again!
Seeing the caller ID, Qi Jun couldn't help but frown.
After a slight hesitation, he answered, "Heh, Young Master Bai, it's so late. Is there something you need?"
"Late? Heh, it is indeed very late. Qi Jun, don't think I don't know about the foolish things you've done. Zhang Jia from Jiangbei deserved to die. He was just a knife, and you are the ghost wielding it. Don't think you can stay out of this. Do you know who the Six-Star War General Zhu Shan is?"
A voice of extreme malice came from the other end.
Hearing this, Qi Jun's expression became even more grim. "I don't know who the Six-Star War General Zhu Shan is, nor do I know what happened. Young Master Bai, it's not good to call me to account so late at night. Dong Jinghua was brought to Jiangbei by you. I know nothing about anything else!"
"Heh, alright, Qi Jun, your methods are brilliant. Using someone else's knife to kill is a good move. However, I'm telling you, the War Zone is furious about this. After Dong Jinghua dies, your Qi family won't fare well either!"
The person on the other end was already extremely angry. With a cold laugh, they were about to hang up.
But Qi Jun calmly replied, "Heh, if Dong Jinghua dies, it will be good news for our Qi family. How can our Qi family not do well? We can take over his businesses. Then, won't your Bai family, who cooperates with us, benefit greatly? Young Master Bai, don't be so anxious. This matter may not have such serious consequences. The War Zone and the All-People Martial Arts Hall won't truly clash head-on. Such matters are handled discreetly at most..."
"You..."
The person on the other end was somewhat dumbfounded, clearly not expecting this.
After a long silence, a voice came from the other end, "Fine, Qi Jun. It's best if it's as you say. Otherwise, if our Bai family doesn't fare well, your Qi family definitely won't either!"
"Heh, don't worry, I always do what I say. This matter is very beneficial to us!"
Qi Jun hung up the phone with a cold smile.
At the same time, Ling Feng quickly received a response from Yang Fei!
"Heavenly Venerate, he has been found. It's the Glorious War God Chen Wu! He is the one backing the Bai family. In the past two years, many people connected to Chen Wu have been promoted within the War Zone, and a large portion of them have been placed in the All-People Martial Arts Hall, where they are also doing quite well!"
Yang Fei said in a deep voice.
Ling Feng remained seated, appearing to be resting with his eyes closed.
Seeing that Ling Feng made no move, Yang Fei dared not waste any more words and continued his report, "Just now, Chen Wu mobilized some soldiers. Their strength is not weak, about seven people. They form a small team with strong assault capabilities. Three of them have met the preliminary qualifications to enter our War God Corps. These individuals were also brought in by Chen Wu using his connections. According to some clues we've investigated, this team has been deployed four times in the past two years, and their assassination targets have generally been people of high status!"
Hearing this, Ling Feng's eyes opened slightly. "Glorious War God Chen Wu? Who gave him that title?"
Yang Fei couldn't help but break out in a sweat and repeatedly shook his head at Ling Feng. "No one gave it to him. You were missing for three years, and Chen Wu's record is indeed impressive. He participated in many monster extermination operations and achieved considerable military merits. He even single-handedly rescued an entire regiment or more of combat units from a monster's lair, saving them!"
"Into the monster's lair?" Ling Feng became even more interested.
Yang Fei nodded and quickly flipped through the documents in his hand. "Yes, the information shows that there should have been a King-level monster in that lair! When Chen Wu came out, he was heavily injured and had lost an arm. This scene was reported at the time. Later, Chen Wu gained the recognition of the entire War Zone, thus earning the title of Glorious War God!"
Ling Feng raised his hand, and Yang Fei quickly handed him the documents.
Ling Feng merely glanced at them casually and then said to Yang Fei, "Have you confirmed this place? Was there a King-level monster?"
Yang Fei nodded. "Yes, we went to investigate before, and there were indeed traces of a King-level monster. However, we all avoided it, as there was no need to confront them directly!"
Ling Feng nodded. "Since it was a King-level monster, then Chen Wu's military merits are fabricated. Announce it to the entire War Zone!"
Yang Fei's eyes widened. "Announce it to the entire War Zone? But the title of Glorious War God carries considerable weight. Doing this might cause a huge stir, and the impact wouldn't be good, would it?"
Ling Feng glanced at Yang Fei. "Impact? What impact? Yang Fei, what are you worried about? Are you worried that such a person won't live long? Do you think the title Glorious War God is for him to do what? It's his own shield, meant to prevent the War Zone from easily dealing with him. But if others can't deal with him, do I, this Venerate, need to be concerned about him? What a joke!"
"Yes! Your subordinate knows his mistake. Your subordinate obeys!"
Yang Fei immediately broke out in a sweat and bowed repeatedly to Ling Feng!
Ling Feng nodded indifferently. As Yang Fei was about to withdraw, Ling Feng added, "Arrest that small team first. They should be making a move on Dong Jinghua, right?"
"Yes, they have arrived in Jiangbei and are expected to act within fifteen minutes!"
Yang Fei quickly responded, adding, "Our people are already protecting Dong Jinghua, and we can ensure their actions fail!"
"I don't want their actions to fail, I want them captured alive. Yang Fei, can you do it?"
Ling Feng asked calmly.
Yang Fei immediately revealed a defiant smile. "Heh, of course, we can. Three of them are only at our preliminary level. If they could enter the War God Corps, then perhaps they would pose some threat to us. In their current state, capturing them alive is not difficult!"
"Then, make sure not one of them escapes. After they are captured, then announce it to the entire War Zone!"
Ling Feng waved his hand casually.
Yang Fei quickly responded and left.
It was already late at night!
Dong Jinghua did not return to his residence in Jiangbei but went directly to the All-People Martial Arts Hall. This was naturally because Dong Jinghua had realized he was in great danger from the very beginning!
Moreover, Ling Feng had also told him earlier that someone would definitely make a move on Dong Jinghua at this time!
Therefore, Dong Jinghua felt that returning to the All-People Martial Arts Hall was safer, as there were more people here, and the attackers would have to be more cautious!
"Mr. Yang!"
Dong Jinghua noticed a figure flash outside and immediately stood up with a solemn expression to greet him!
