Chapter 315: Chapter 0314: Lingnan Sect (Five Updates)_1
Inside the Hunter Bodyguard Company, He Mengji stood by the window, frowning as she watched the stream of experts rushing out from the building below.
She had heard Ye Xiong mention Mr. M’s name many times, a terrifying figure. Even if the entire company were to be deployed, they might not be able to catch him.
Because she had no information about him, she didn’t know if he was male or female, his height, his appearance, or even which country he came from.
Mr. M was Huaxia Country’s most mysterious assassin.
She was doing this to establish authority, to put pressure on him even if they couldn’t catch him, to let him understand that the Hunter Bodyguard Company was not to be trifled with, and to signal to Long Tianya that Jiangnan was not so easily infiltrated.
Only absolute power can instill fear.
He Mengji took out her phone and called Huang Weifu at the police bureau, informing him of the situation and requesting that he dispatch officers to conduct a citywide blockade and vehicle check.
Huang Weifu’s life was saved by Ye Xiong, and his reputation was given by Ye Xiong. Without Ye Xiong, the police would have been annihilated in the Beast Organization’s assault, so Huang Weifu immediately decided to mobilize his men.
The establishment of the Hunter Bodyguard Company was like erecting a mighty Buddha statue for Jiangnan City.
Huang Weifu and He Mengji had already established a cooperative relationship. If there were things that the police couldn’t investigate or were inconvenient to resolve, then He Mengji would take care of them, making the two parties cooperative allies now.
After hanging up the phone, Huang Weifu ordered a citywide lockdown and identity checks to apprehend the killer.
Mr. M exited the building and got into a car, tossing his case into the trunk before driving away.
The car joined the national highway, heading south to leave Jiangnan City when he suddenly encountered a row of police cars blocking the road. Besides the police, there was someone he recognized—An Le, who had once worked under Ghost and now defected to Reaper’s side.
Mr. M thought for a moment, decided to make a U-turn before him, and headed in another direction.
As an assassin, he had alternate identities to fool the police, but An Le was different. She had the instincts of a former assassin and might be able to recognize him.
To play it safe, he dared not take the risk.
Starting the car, he headed elsewhere.
Soon, he discovered that all the cars entering and exiting Jiangnan City were filled with police, and there were experts from the Hunter Bodyguard Company assisting. It was clear that driving out of Jiangnan was impossible for him.
Jiangnan City was now completely locked down.
With no other options, Mr. M had to drive back downtown, planning to find a place to stay.
But to his knowledge, every hotel in the city had been searched by the police, making it inconvenient for him to find a place to settle.
Remembering he still had a gun in the car, he had no choice but to drive to the outskirts and find a place to bury the case containing the sniper rifle before returning downtown.
When he found a moment, he finally called Ghost.
“The mission failed. Reaper seems to have formed an alliance with the Jiangnan Police Bureau. The entire city is under lockdown. I can’t get out for now. If I try to force my way out, I may risk exposure,” he reported.
“Lie low for a while and come back after the situation calms down. Don’t go out these next few days and be careful. Reaper is no simple opponent,” Ghost instructed before hanging up.
The intense citywide search continued for three days before finally stopping. During those days, aside from going out for food, Mr. M didn’t dare leave his room, afraid of being discovered.
Mr. M had carried out missions for many years and had visited every major city. He had never experienced such frustration during an evacuation.
Three days later, when the searches were not as strict, he left with his heart in his throat.
He estimated that if he ever dared to come back to Jiangnan, he wouldn’t be as brash as before.
…
Recently, Ye Xiong has been living quite leisurely.
During the day, he drives Tang Ning and Yang Xinyi to school and work, then spends the day at the office, occasionally strolling around when he has some free time.
With He Mengji, the greatest brain, in charge, he basically can’t get involved in the company’s affairs at all.
Every day, he flits among various beauties, thoroughly enjoying himself.
He’s been to Du Yuehua’s place several times, but he’s always stayed in the office to experience Sister Hua’s charm, never spending the night because he has to go home to his wife in the evenings.
As for Tang Ning, she seems to have become much better behaved, coming and going to school quietly without chattering as much.
The Beast Organization hasn’t sent anyone else to Jiangnan, guessing they must think Jiangnan is tough to deal with!
Under He Mengji’s management, the company got on the right track and began receiving orders worth over a million in salary. Core members like Chen Xiao, Vermilion Bird, and Du Feng started going on missions too.
That day, Ye Xiong received a call from Long Zaitian, who told him about an important matter on the phone.
“We’ve captured a member of the Beast Organization. He has been treated by Mr. Ghost. According to his description, Mr. Ghost used a blood-activating acupuncture technique on him, which might very well be the legendary Nine Meridian Divine Needles from the Lingnan Sect,” Long Zaitian said.
The Lingnan Sect?
Ye Xiong quickly thought of the Lingnan Divine Doctor, the most famous figure in the southern world of medicine.
The last time Yang Xinyi was poisoned, Chen Xiao found the Lingnan Divine Doctor to treat her, but instead of the Divine Doctor himself, one of his female disciples named Murong Ruyin came.
Could it be that this Mr. Ghost is related to the Lingnan Divine Doctor and the Murong Family?
“Gu Cangshan said that Long Tianya’s injuries can’t be healed in a short time. If we want to cure him, we may need to use the Nine Meridian Divine Needles, using the technique daily to expel all the stagnant blood in his body. So, there’s a high possibility that Mr. Ghost is someone from the Lingnan Sect. If that’s the case, then Long Tianya might very well be hiding there for treatment,” Long Zaitian continued.
“You want me to go to the Lingnan Sect to uncover Mr. Ghost’s whereabouts and find Ghost?” asked Ye Xiong.
“You’re not a member of the Dragon Group, so you’re not under my command. I’ve already sent people there, but it would be better if you could go,” Long Tianya said.
“Alright, I’ll make some arrangements and find time to go. Send me the information on the Lingnan Sect first; I want to study it in detail,” Ye Xiong replied.
After saying this, he hung up the phone.
Before long, a document arrived on his computer.
Seeing the tens of thousands of words of information, Ye Xiong felt overwhelmed.
He had originally thought the so-called Lingnan Sect was just the Murong Family, but it turned out there were seven major families. Together, they were referred to as the Lingnan Sect.
Among these seven major families, all practiced the Nine Meridian Divine Needles, with dozens of people skilled in this medical art.
Out of these dozens of people, how was he to identify which one was Mr. Ghost?
Ye Xiong was dumbfounded; this mission was not going to be as simple as the investigation into Li Chunpeng. It could take even longer.
“Xinyi will definitely be heartbroken when she finds out I’m going on another mission!” he thought.
“Guess I’ll have to spoil her a bit more these next few days,” he mused.
Ye Xiong sighed.
