Chapter 316: Chapter 315: Surprise (Part 1)_1
Recently, Ye Xiong had been living quite leisurely.
During the day, he drove Tang Ning and Yang Xinyi to school and work, then spent the rest of the day at the company, occasionally strolling around when he had free time.
With He Mengji, the super-brain, handling things, he basically couldn’t get involved in the company’s affairs.
Every day, he flitted among various beautiful women, thoroughly enjoying himself.
He had visited Du Yuehua several times, but it was always in the office to experience Sister Hua’s charm, and he never stayed over because he needed to be home with his wife at night.
As for Tang Ning, she seemed to have become much better behaved, no longer chattering constantly after class each day.
The Beast Organization hadn’t sent anyone else over and probably reckoned Jiangnan was difficult to deal with.
Under He Mengji’s management, the company had gotten on the right track and started receiving orders with salaries over a million. Core members like Chen Xiao, Vermilion Bird, and Du Feng had begun going on missions.
One day, Ye Xiong received a call from Long Zaitian, who told him about something important over the phone.
“We’ve captured a member of the Beast Organization who received treatment from Mr. Ghost,”” Long Zaitian said. “According to his description, Mr. Ghost performed a blood-activating acupuncture technique on him, which might very well be the legendary Nine Meridian Divine Needles of the Lingnan Sect.”
The Lingnan Sect?
Ye Xiong immediately thought of the Lingnan Divine Doctor, the most famous figure in the southern medical community.
Last time, when Yang Xinyi was poisoned, Chen Xiao had used his connections to request the Lingnan Divine Doctor for assistance, but instead of him arriving, it was one of his female disciples, Murong Ruyin.
Could it be that Mr. Ghost was also related to the Lingnan Divine Doctor or the Murong Family?
“Gu Cangshan said that Long Tianya’s injuries can’t be healed in a short period of time,” Long Zaitian continued. “If we want to cure him, we might need to use the Nine Meridian Divine Needles, conducting a process each day to expel the stagnated blood from his entire body. Therefore, it is highly likely that Mr. Ghost is someone from the Lingnan Sect. If that’s the case, then Long Tianya might very well be hiding there, receiving treatment.”
“Do you want me to go to the Lingnan Sect to find out about Mr. Ghost’s whereabouts and locate Ghost?”
“You’re not part of the Dragon Group, so you’re not under my command. I’ve already sent people there, but if you could go, that would be even better,” Long Tianya replied.
“Alright, I’ll make some arrangements first and find time to go. Send me the information about the Lingnan Sect, and I will have a closer look at it,” Ye Xiong said.
After hanging up the phone, it wasn’t long before his computer received a file.
Seeing the document of tens of thousands of words, Ye Xiong felt overwhelmed.
He had originally thought that the so-called Lingnan Sect was just the Murong Family, but to his surprise, it was actually seven major families collectively known as the Lingnan Sect.
Among these seven great families, all practiced the Nine Meridian Divine Needles. Altogether, there were dozens of practitioners.
Out of those dozens, how was he to identify which one was Mr. Ghost?
Ye Xiong was dumbfounded; this mission was not as simple as the last time when he investigated Li Chunpeng. It might take even longer.
“Xinyi is going to be heartbroken when she finds out I have to go on another mission!”
“I’ll work harder these next two days and keep her well-fed,” Ye Xiong sighed.
After class, Ye Xiong went to pick up Tang Ning, and when he got home, Yang Xinyi’s car was already parked in the garage.
Ye Xiong found it odd, as she didn’t usually come home this early.
Upon entering the living room, he saw Tang Ning playing with Xiao Baibai, while his phone was out of battery so he went upstairs to charge it.
When he got to his room and started charging his phone, he suddenly realized the bathroom door was closed, with the sound of running water inside.
“Why is my wife taking a bath so early today? Isn’t she supposed to be cooking?”
Later on, Ye Xiong found out that it was his sister-in-law who had come over.
