"Ling, what are you looking at?" Noticing Ling Chen’s gaze, Tang Shiyun held his arm, her soft chest gently pressing against it.
Since she wasn’t wearing clothes, Ling Chen could clearly feel the soft tenderness, causing his heart to flutter. Hearing Tang Shiyun’s voice, Ling Chen imdiately redirected his gaze, maintaining a serious deanor, and said, "Nothing much. Girl, have you been busy these past few days?"
"Originally, I had a few comrcial performances, but the company heard I might be in danger, so they postponed them all and let take a break for a while."
Ling Chen nodded and looked at Liu Xiyao, asking, "Xiyao, is there nothing going on these days?"
"Not really. Your people patrol the area 24 hours a day; no one dares to approach this villa. Didn’t you send soone to find that person’s whereabouts? Have you still not found them?"
"There’s no progress yet, but don’t worry, I’ll deploy all our forces to find that guy." With that, Ling Chen patted Tang Shiyun’s little head and said, "I’m going downstairs to chat with my friends; rember to co down for breakfast later."
Upon reaching the first floor, Bai Huanjun was already waiting for Ling Chen’s appearance. Having learned Ling Chen returned last night, Bai Huanjun removed his disguise early in the morning, reverting to his original form.
"You’ve worked hard these days."
"It’s not too tiring, just staying at ho every day, occasionally going out to show my face, not much hard work involved. But for you, I heard from Kai that you guys had a great ti outside this ti. It’s a pity I didn’t join, but rember to take along next ti."
As he spoke, Bai Huanjun handed over a pre-prepared file to Ling Chen.
"What is this?"
"I asked so old friends to investigate and finally got so information on Old K. The nickna ’Old K’ isn’t famous dostically or internationally, but according to the data, he has planned multiple bombings abroad, and six countries are pursuing him. However, Old K is a very smart criminal. He keeps a low profile, rarely appearing unless committing a cri, so no one knows his whereabouts."
"No leads from Fatty yet?"
"Not yet. Unless he reveals himself, given his low profile, it’s very hard for us to locate him."
Ling Chen thought for a mont, then said, "Old K was hired by Zhu Hong, and no one except Zhu Hong probably knows his whereabouts. During the desert battle that day, Zhu Hong fled by car and is currently nowhere to be found. To my knowledge, he hasn’t returned to the country yet. Go back to the base later and tell Fatty to enhance airport surveillance, and arrest Zhu Hong as soon as he shows up."
"Alright, I’m heading back to the base now."
After seeing Bai Huanjun off, Ling Chen joined the won for breakfast, then drove alone to the Old City.
A couple of days ago, Tang Guolun had called Ling Chen, saying that the Dragon Tiger Tower had been fully constructed, and the interior was also completed, asking him to co take a look when he had ti. Until then, though interested in the establishnt of Dragon Tiger Tower, Ling Chen hadn’t been very involved. However, after talking with Ling Tao and learning the truth, Ling Chen finally decided to create a Martial Arts force capable of rivaling the Heavenly chanism Pavilion.
Upon arriving at Dragon Tiger Tower, Ling Chen directly entered the main building. There’s no denying Tang Guolun’s efficiency; in such a short ti, the building is finished with painting and decoration, exuding grandeur everywhere. Having just been completed, the property was filled with a strong sll of paint. At the mont, more than a dozen workers were cleaning the building to remove the odors.
"Ling Chen."
Responding to the voice, Ling Chen turned his head and smiled to greet Tang Guolun.
"Boss Tang, thanks for your hard work."
"It’s alright. There’s still so finishing up to do, but it should be done in a couple of days. When are you planning to have people move in?"
"This month, maybe," Ling Chen thought for a while and replied. The main base of Dragon Tiger Tower has been established, and recruiting Martial Arts practitioners will be the next task, which isn’t easy. Moreover, Ling Chen has concerns given the Heavenly chanism Pavilion’s longstanding dominance, unmatched in experience and influence. Planning to compete directly with them, Ling Chen wonders whether they might try to restrict him.
"Right! Boss Tang, can you help make a plaque in a couple of days?"
"Dragon Tiger Tower?"
"No, change it to Dragon Tiger Hall," Ling Chen opened his mouth to say. He had pondered deeply over the naming of Dragon Tiger Hall. Considering the present tis, it’s better to have a more modern and agreeable na. ’Dragon Tiger Hall’ is neither too ordinary nor pretentious, making it just right.
Ling Chen has thought through the developnt of Dragon Tiger Hall. Besides recruiting Martial Arts elites, he’s going to open a Martial Arts Academy to impart Martial Arts skills. With an abundance of Martial Arts manuals as support, Ling Chen is confident. If he’s going to do it, he might as well do it big. He clearly understands he started late and cannot compare with the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, which boasts centuries of history. So, he must embark on an unconventional path.
These days, whenever Ling Chen is free, he studies the advantages and disadvantages of the Heavenly chanism Pavilion. The advantages are self-evident; the historical foundation is unparalleled. However, its disadvantages are equally apparent. Heavenly chanism Pavilion, owing to its years of history, has amassed countless Martial Arts manuals, including so lost cultivation techniques. Yet, it covets its treasures, keeping all Martial Arts manuals hidden and never sharing them.
Furthermore, Heavenly chanism Pavilion treats these manuals as lures to attract Martial Arts elites. In reality, they never transmit truly valuable manuals to outsiders. To them, these valuable manuals are their cornerstone.
Therefore, Ling Chen made a decision; he won’t be like the Heavenly chanism Pavilion, hoarding these manuals. Instead, he will publicize them, and anyone joining Dragon Tiger Hall will be free to choose their learning path.
The aim is not only to break the Heavenly chanism Pavilion’s monopoly but also to attract more Martial Arts elites. Besides, Ling Chen hopes to keep these lost Martial Arts skills alive. He understands that throughout history, many valuable Martial Arts got lost mainly because masters withheld so absolute skills during apprentice training, refusing to pass them on. This greatly contributed to the loss of many Kung Fu.
Ling Chen’s decision is also intended to enhance Dragon Tiger Hall’s influence.
After chatting with Tang Guolun for a while, Ling Chen didn’t stay long; he drove straight to the base. Since Dragon Tiger Hall has been built, there are plenty of matters to attend to.
