"Dad, I'll come back to see you again. Don't worry, I'll move you to the ancestral grave as soon as possible, and everything in the Ma family will be restored soon." Ma Chenglong took one last deep look at his father's grave, then bowed deeply before leaving with Ye Xingchen.
Back at his residence, Ye Xingchen received a call from Liu Kun, who told him that a superior from Jinluo City was coming to Nanshi to personally oversee matters there and asked him to fully cooperate.
Ye Xingchen readily agreed, casually replying, "President Kun, wasn't it said that Young Master Huang would be overseeing this matter? Why the sudden change?"
“Young Master Huang was originally going to come, but there are more important matters in Jinluo City that require his attention, so he has been replaced. The person going to Nanshi this time is named Wu Qiang, and he will arrive in Nanshi tomorrow. Please cooperate with him, and contact me if anything happens,” Liu Kun said.
"Okay, Mr. Kun, don't worry, I will definitely cooperate with you fully." Ye Xingchen nodded slightly.
"What did Liu Kun say?" Ma Chenglong asked as he walked over after Ye Xingchen hung up the phone.
“People from Jinluo City have come to personally oversee things in Nanshi,” Ye Xingchen said.
"Is Huang Tai coming?" Ma Chenglong's heart skipped a beat. "If he's coming in person, it means Jinluo City takes the situation here very seriously."
"It's not that Huang Tai is coming," Ye Xingchen said, shaking his head. "They said the person coming this time is named Wu Qiang."
"Wu Qiang? Never heard of him." Ma Chenglong frowned slightly. "What exactly are those people up to?"
"Young Master Ma, don't worry. At least they sent someone." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly and said, "If this person is capable and competent, we'll listen to him. If he's not so great, then we don't need to give him any face."
"Hehe, Brother Ye, do you really mean what you said? You're Liu Kun's man, and the people in Jinluo City are your superiors. If you want to climb the ranks, you still can't do without them," Ma Chenglong said.
"It's true that I want to climb the ladder." Ye Xingchen didn't deny it. He smiled slightly and said, "But those people in Jinluo City are too cautious. I think even if I gain their trust, I probably won't gain their importance."
"So... if we can stay in Nanshi and work together with Young Master Ma, it would actually be a good choice."
"Hahaha, it's good that Brother Ye thinks that way." Ma Chenglong laughed heartily, patted Ye Xingchen's shoulder heavily, and said through gritted teeth, "Actually, Liu Kun and Jin Luocheng, none of them are good people."
"Besides, what kind of place is Jinluo City? No matter how capable you are, unless you are one of their core figures, you are destined not to be given important positions. With your abilities, you can't possibly be a mediocre person there, can you?"
"So, it's the best choice for you to stay in Nanshi and work with me on this grand plan."
"Young Master Ma yearns to believe in me. I will risk my life to help Young Master Ma reclaim everything that you deserve." Ye Xingchen smiled slightly.
"Of course I trust Ye Xingchen, you are the person I trust the most." Ma Chenglong nodded: "Brother Ye, it's getting late, you should rest too. We'll wait for that Wu Qiang to arrive, I want to see what kind of person he really is."
Ye Xingchen returned to her room and made a phone call to Bai Zilin.
"How did it go?" Bai Zilin was relieved to receive Ye Xingchen's call. Ye Xingchen had been in Nanshi for the past few days and hadn't contacted her.
This made her somewhat apprehensive, fearing that something might happen to Ye Xingchen.
"Jinluo City has sent someone out. This person is named Wu Qiang," Ye Xingchen said. "If nothing unexpected happens, this person will arrive in Nanshi tomorrow."
"Wasn't that Huang Tai who came out?" Bai Zilin was taken aback. "Is there some other unexpected turn of events?"
“Yes, something has changed. Huang Tai is very cautious. What happened in Yun City last time has made him wary. However, he has an inside man from Jinluo City by his side. I’ll contact him and see what’s going on,” Ye Xingchen said.
"You have an inside man in Jinluo City?" Bai Zilin said angrily, "Why didn't you tell me about something so important?"
“He’s not one of your people, why should I tell you? Besides, this inside man isn’t an ordinary person.” Ye Xingchen said, “I won’t use him unless it’s absolutely necessary.”
"You're so careful," Bai Zilin said speechlessly. "What do we do next?"
"Contact the military in Prison Mountain and prepare for deployment. I will tell you the location of Liu Kun and his drug manufacturing plant. Deploy surveillance in the surrounding area and launch an attack at any time," Ye Xingchen said.
"They're closing in? Huang Tai hasn't come out yet?" Bai Zilin was taken aback.
"Hehe, who do you think this Wu Qiang is?" Ye Xingchen laughed.
"You mean Wu Qiang is Huang Tai's alias?" Bai Zilin was starting to understand.
“That’s right, almost certainly.” Ye Xingchen said, “Let’s get ready. We’ve put in so much effort here, we can finally close the net.”
"Understood," Bai Zilin replied briefly.
After hanging up the phone, Ye Xingchen lay on the bed, unable to fall asleep.
He was a little agitated. If nothing unexpected happened, Wu Qiang was Huang Tai's alias, and the kid had finally been lured out of his hole.
As long as Huang Tai is in his hands, the confrontation with Jin Luocheng will officially begin.
The matter concerning my father must eventually come to a conclusion.
Lost in thought, he drifted off to sleep.
However, at that moment, his body slowly sank and began to fall.
"Again?" Ye Xingchen was taken aback. He had already experienced a state similar to sleep paralysis once before.
With his current cultivation level, this situation is impossible, because his divine sense and spiritual power have been cultivated to an extreme point. The kind of ghost pressure that only ordinary people experience cannot possibly occur on him.
He tried to resist and open his eyes, but he failed several times and could only helplessly let his consciousness fall.
Finally, his consciousness seemed to return to the ground. When he opened his eyes, the same scene from his previous dream appeared before him.
Beneath the lava, beneath the massive, agonizing dragon's head, a disheveled man is imprisoned.
The surrounding formations continuously drew out his luck and poured it into the mountain. The man knelt on the ground, and although he was tortured beyond recognition and suffered great pain when his luck was being extracted, he remained silent.
Ye Xingchen slowly walked forward, feeling the man's emotions deeply.
He could feel the other person's pain and anger.
Moreover, a sense of grief arose within him, slowly growing stronger.
He reached out, wanting to touch the man, but at that moment, his consciousness was abruptly pulled from the dream and back to reality.
