The events that took place at King’s Bar are not exactly a secret. With a little investigation, one could find out what happened.
Moreover, with Ning Chengyuan’s thods, accessing the surveillance footage there presented no problem.
In less than an hour, the investigation results had reached Ning Chengyuan’s hands.
Ning Chengyuan’s phone had also received a video from soone.
Watching the video, Ning Chengyuan’s expression beca unusually grave.
The video showed Ye Guichen delivering a strike that made Valon bleed profusely, rendering him completely incapacitated.
"Guli, that Valon is just a third-rate expert, right?" Ning Chengyuan tossed the phone to the white female bodyguard.
Guli, the white female bodyguard, had also seen the video and nodded upon hearing his words: "Correct, even using Ancient Muay Thai, he’s almost on par with ."
"So you’re saying that even if it were you, at most you could only fight Valon to a draw?"
Guli nodded vigorously.
Ning Chengyuan’s face grew darker: "So you an, even if you two tead up, you still might not be a match for that little bastard?"
In this world, many people’s strength far surpassed that of ordinary humans.
As the third-generation grandson of the Ning Family in the provincial capital, Ning Chengyuan naturally knew of these superhuman entities, and the two female bodyguards by his side were such formidable beings.
A third-rate expert could deliver punches with six to seven hundred pounds of force, far exceeding the limits of an ordinary person.
For this reason, even if Black Panther had more subordinates, they were still no match for these two female bodyguards.
Ning Chengyuan had thought that in a small place like Yun City, there couldn’t possibly be experts above the third rank. But now, he never expected the existence of a monster like Ye Guichen.
"Who exactly is this guy?" Ning Chengyuan asked again.
The white female bodyguard Guli responded: "We looked into it; this person is Ye Guichen, the one who possesses three pieces of the Seven-colored Lotus Jade, and our primary target here in Yun City."
"Him again?" Ning Chengyuan frowned.
He had thought that obtaining the three pieces of the Lotus Jade would be easy, but with such formidable skills, it could be troubleso.
"Has his background been thoroughly investigated?" Ning Chengyuan asked in a deep voice.
Guli shook her head: "Just as our previous findings indicated."
"Damn it, call Mr. Wen and ask him to have the Shadows look into it. I refuse to believe we can’t uncover his true identity!" Ning Chengyuan ordered directly.
The Shadows, Azure Dragon Comrce’s intelligence agency.
Once they took action, not just in Hua Country, but virtually anywhere in the world, it was nearly impossible for anyone to hide.
If it were not absolutely necessary, Ning Chengyuan did not want to use this connection, lest others think he was incompetent.
But after witnessing Ye Guichen’s impressive strike, the usually arrogant yet cautious Ning Chengyuan decided it was wise to be careful.
Guli nodded and made a call to Mr. Wen.
On the other end, a middle-aged man’s voice responded: "Speak."
"Mr. Wen, Young Master Ning wants the Shadows to investigate the true identity of Ye Guichen." Hearing the voice, Guli quickly showed her respect.
Wen Daoxian was silent for a mont before spitting out three words: "Ten minutes."
Then, not waiting for Guli to respond further, he hung up the phone.
What followed was a long wait.
Ten minutes was the ti Wen Daoxian had given.
Yet, ten minutes passed, and Wen Daoxian did not call back.
Ning Chengyuan couldn’t sit still any longer and began pacing the guest room, feeling agitated: "What’s going on? Isn’t Wen Daoxian supposed to be very capable, able to command the Shadows? What’s happening?"
The two female bodyguards dared not make a sound.
After twenty minutes had passed with no response, Ning Chengyuan could no longer hold back and gave another order: "Find out what’s going on."
Guli had no choice but to make another call to Wen Daoxian.
This ti, the phone rang several tis before it was answered, and Wen Daoxian’s voice ca through, raspier than before: "Wait a bit longer."
Click!
He hung up again.
Guli froze; it seed she had heard impatience in Wen Daoxian’s voice.
Ning Chengyuan had also heard Wen Daoxian’s tone, and he looked at Guli with a mix of surprise and an ominous feeling.
After over an hour of waiting, Wen Daoxian finally called back.
Ning Chengyuan eagerly answered, "Mr. Wen, do you have the results?"
Recognizing Ning Chengyuan’s voice, Wen Daoxian paused for a mont before speaking: "Ning Chengyuan, I ca to Yun City to assist you, but now an issue has arisen, and I need to return to the Comrce to report the situation directly to the President."
"What?" Ning Chengyuan was stunned, not understanding Wen Daoxian’s aning: "Mr. Wen, are you asking to handle matters here on my own?"
"That’s right," Wen Daoxian said flatly. "You have full responsibility, and as for that Ye Guichen, he has no significant background, just as your investigation found. If you can secure the Seven-colored Lotus Jade from him, it would be a major achievent for you."
Wen Daoxian paused briefly before adding, "Also, a reminder: you represent the Ning Family."
Then without further words, Wen Daoxian hung up the phone again.
Staring at the phone, Ning Chengyuan’s eyes seed vacant.
He hadn’t even t Wen Daoxian, and the guy just ran off, telling him he’s in full charge?
"Damn, that Wen Daoxian is too cunning!"
In his fury, Ning Chengyuan flung his phone to the ground.
Although Wen Daoxian hadn’t said it explicitly, Ning Chengyuan wasn’t stupid. He had a hunch that Wen Daoxian hadn’t uncovered more about Ye Guichen’s background.
In other words, Ye Guichen might be even more terrifying than they had imagined.
It was clear that Wen Daoxian wanted him to test Ye Guichen.
"Damn it, who the hell is this guy?" The sudden appearance of Ye Guichen left Ning Chengyuan perplexed.
However, recalling Wen Daoxian’s promise, Ning Chengyuan’s eyes lit up.
Fortune favors the bold.
If he could obtain the Seven-colored Lotus Jade, he might even have the support of the Azure Dragon Comrce to beco the Family Head of the Ning Family.
To him, this might be a golden opportunity.
"Guli, have our people ready. Tonight, I want to et this Ye Guichen!" After so thought, Ning Chengyuan made his decision.
No matter how formidable Ye Guichen was, Ning Chengyuan was no pushover.
After further contemplation, Ning Chengyuan’s mouth curved into a cunning smile: "By the way, isn’t Chen Ziran Ye Guichen’s fiancée? Tell Bai Qinghe to bring Chen Ziran to . Let’s see if that guy, no matter how good he can fight, would abandon his own woman!"
A hostage situation was sothing Ning Chengyuan had always despised.
But to achieve his goal, he was willing to resort to any ans.
Guli nodded lightly: "Understood."
Then, she took out her phone and called Bai Qinghe, instructing: "Before seven o’clock tonight, no matter what thods you use, bring Chen Ziran to the Shangri-La Hotel."
On the other end, Bai Qinghe was standing outside Chen Ziran’s office.
After hanging up, Bai Qinghe glanced at the busy Chen Ziran inside the office, a struggle flashing in her eyes.
