They even interrogated his subordinates to uncover his film production factory that made adult films.
"Who exactly are you?" Old Yao asked defiantly.
Ye Xingchen broke this guy's knees, but he gritted his teeth and endured it.
"Just how much kindness has Na Yuanzhen done for you? Is it worth you taking on all this trouble for him?" Ye Xingchen felt somewhat incredulous.
He saw that Lao Yao was no tough guy and was definitely a coward. Now that he had brought Liu Xuesong's team over, it was a direct indication that the military was getting involved.
This proves that things have escalated significantly. If they resist to the death, given what Na Yuanzhen has done, it wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that his entire family would be executed.
But this guy is still stubbornly refusing to say a word, which makes Ye Xingchen feel somewhat surprised.
"Heh... Young Master Na has been incredibly kind to me. I'd rather die than reveal his information, even if you kill me." Old Yao sneered.
"Are you really going to frame me for him? Even without you, I can still find out the information I need," Ye Xingchen said with a smile.
"Heh... I believe you can figure this out. It's not like an ordinary person could mobilize so many soldiers." Old Yao sneered. "But whether you can mobilize them is one thing, whether I tell you or not is another. Don't confuse things."
"You're quite loyal, aren't you?" Ye Xingchen nodded slowly, actually quite admiring of this guy.
“Our young master is worthy of my loyalty.” Old Yao tilted his head and sneered, “Maybe I can’t stop you, but at least you won’t get any information from me.”
As he spoke, he gritted his teeth fiercely...
Fresh blood gushed from the corner of his mouth.
"He swallowed poison! Stop him! Stop him!" Zhang Shih-hao cried out in alarm.
"Since he wants to die, then let him have his way." Ye Xingchen sneered. "If he thinks Na Yuanzhen is worth the sacrifice, then let him sacrifice himself. How can I stop someone from being loyal to his master?"
Old Yao grinned maliciously, blood gushing from the corner of his mouth, before collapsing straight to the ground.
"Good, he's a real man." Ye Xingchen nodded gently: "I underestimated Na Yuanzhen. It turns out that besides always wanting to restore his ancestral system, he's also quite good at managing people."
"Well, the clue we had just gotten our hands on has vanished." Zhang Shih-hao sighed, rubbing his head in dismay. "What do we do next?"
"Next, let his dog from the south of the city report to him," Ye Xingchen said. "This guy is not one to suffer a loss alone; he'll definitely find a way."
"Okay, okay, I'll listen to you." Zhang Shihao nodded, also feeling that what Ye Xingchen said seemed to make some sense.
Since this guy is so eager to die, then let him die.
“Xingchen, the situation here has been investigated.” Just then, Liu Xuesong walked over: “I will apply to the local authorities to take these guys away and put them under military control.”
"Okay, I'll leave these things to you." Ye Xingchen patted Liu Xuesong on the shoulder: "I'll treat you to a drink later."
"Don't mention it. Anyway, Jiyang is always far from the reach of the emperor, and the higher-ups are already looking to make a move here. I should thank you for taking advantage of your influence." Liu Xuesong grinned.
The entire club was raided overnight, and a major storm swept through Jiyang City. Hundreds of people involved in the case were arrested, and the local police had no prior warning whatsoever.
North of Jiyang City, in front of a barren mountain.
There is a villa at the foot of the mountain, which looks a bit dilapidated from the outside.
The mountain was privately owned and has not been developed at all; there is nothing there except for this villa.
Moreover, there was an elderly man with white hair in the villa. He was very old, and every day he would take a broom and sweep the fallen leaves on the ground.
But behind the villa lies a completely different world.
The villa's main hall leads to the mountain behind it, which has been completely hollowed out.
After entering the villa, passing through the backyard, and verifying my identity at a composite door in front of the mountain, the door opened automatically.
Once opened, there is a long passage. At the end of the passage, your identity is verified again.
After verifying their identity a second time, a door opened, revealing a hidden world inside.
The space inside is extremely large, with patterned bluestone paving the floor. The surrounding furnishings are all classical books, and there is a writing implement on a table. Behind the table, the wall is filled with antiques.
If someone knows their stuff, they can tell at a glance that these antiques have an unusual origin.
These antiques all originated from the imperial court of the previous dynasty, and each one is genuine and priceless.
A man dressed in a python robe and with a long whip sat at a desk, holding an ancient book in his hand, carefully flipping through it.
The soft indoor lighting illuminated the man's face, making his appearance appear even colder and more effeminate.
Just then, a man dressed in the robes of a former dynasty slowly walked in and bowed slightly to the man: "Young Master Na, Black Bear has arrived."
"Let him in." The man gently put down the book in his hand, then sat up straight, adopting a composed and steady demeanor.
This man was none other than Na Yuanzhen, Na Yuanwu's younger brother. Compared to his brother Na Yuanwu, he was more cunning and more eager to restore the kingdom.
"Yes." The man bowed slightly, then turned and left.
A moment later, a burly man came running in, stumbling and crawling.
"Young Master Na..." He knelt down in front of Na Yuanzhen with a thud, trembling all over and unable to say a word.
"Speak." Na Yuanzhen raised an eyebrow, clearly displeased with the man's demeanor.
He often taught his subordinates that they should not panic no matter what happens.
His subordinate, however, seemed not to have taken his words to heart.
"Young Master Na, something terrible has happened. Our establishments have been raided. Old Yao was taken away last night, and all the establishments under his jurisdiction were raided. I also had to close all my own establishments." Black Bear looked terrified.
"How do you do things? Didn't you receive any prior notice?" Na Yuanzhen's expression was icy. "If you can't even handle this simple matter, what use are you to me?"
"Young Master Na, I'm innocent! After the incident, I contacted all the connections I could to try and find out what happened, but no one knows what happened."
The black bear said in a panic, "I'm still trying to contact him to find out what happened, but there's no news yet. I've used everyone I can."
"It wasn't you who deliberately got him involved for the sake of competition, was it?" Na Yuanzhen picked up a cup of tea, took a sip, and said slowly.
