Arresting people personally
Ling Yan's private jet landed at Golden Garden in Country J two hours later.
Golden Garden was aptly named as a den of iniquity for the wealthy, a black market casino, and a hub for underground transactions.
Ling Yan's plane landed here, and he naturally paid a large sum of money to the owner of Golden Garden in advance.
As the young master of Fancheng and the owner of Golden Garden, Brother Rui would naturally give him some face, but not much.
After all, his subordinates depend on him for their livelihood. If everyone gives him face, what's the point of them working here?
Why not just kneel down and become someone's lackey?
Those who venture into the world aren't afraid of death.
Especially in this small, uncivilized country on the fringes of a world where even the government is colluding with them in their nefarious schemes.
There has been some recent commotion in the Gold Souk, with members of the Andrew family and LAN gradually disembarking in Japan.
And the funniest thing is that last night, a woman was secretly brought over by Yan Zheng, the agent of the Andrew family.
Huang Rui even had someone take a look.
He assumed she was a stunning beauty, given the grand display, but it turned out to be a middle-aged woman who was barely alive.
Jin Rui is in his early thirties and is a true local tyrant in Japan. He joined the Golden Society in his teens and took over the position seven years ago by killing the previous leader. He is ruthless and heartless.
Ling Yan's arrival in J country could not be kept secret from J country's largest non-governmental organization.
The Gold Society is a visible force in J country that is no less powerful than the government.
No matter who comes to Japan, they cannot fail to give face to Brother Rui, the master of the Golden Society.
Ling Yan was the same.
Ling Yan didn't intend to delay his mission to capture Ling Changqing and Yan Zheng. He believed that things that could be solved with money generally didn't require excessive manpower and resources.
He didn't bring a large group, just over 100 people, which was just within Rui Ge's tolerance range.
Of course, Hei Jie and Yan Zheng brought even fewer people, only about 20 with them.
After all, they came here to do business, not to fight Jin Rui for territory.
Once everyone has the money, they can use the territory to do whatever they want.
After getting off the plane, Ling Yan went straight to the Golden Garden, the headquarters of the Golden Society.
This is the largest above-ground and underground trading district in Country J, where you can find a vast amount of illegal firearms, medical supplies, high-tech gadgets, personal collectibles, rare and priceless treasures, and top-secret information. As long as you have money and connections, you can obtain them through effective channels.
This is also a paradise for mercenaries.
If you can afford the price, you can hire someone to get you anything you want.
Given Ling Yan's status, meeting Huang Rui wouldn't be too difficult.
The two groups arranged to meet at the Golden Casino, the largest gambling venue in Golden Garden.
Why is it called the Golden Casino?
Looking around, this casino, which has two floors above ground and three floors below, covering an area of 600,000 square feet, has 3,500 slot machines and more than 900 gaming tables.
The design is opulent and glittering; an unsuspecting person who wanders in might mistake it for a medieval Roman royal temple.
The two enormous lion-bodied beasts at the entrance symbolize that this is a gold-devouring cave.
Ling Yan, along with the Ling twin brothers, Ling Qi, and Ling Ling, arrived at the Golden Casino as agreed.
Ling Yan was alright, but Ling Kun, seeing this situation, rubbed his palms together, wanting to join in and play a few rounds.
Ling Yan then went with his two younger cousins.
He then led Ling Qi and Ling Ling directly up to the second floor.
As soon as Ling Yan entered the casino, someone reported the news to Huang Rui.
This local tyrant from Country J was sitting leisurely on a large, genuine tiger-skin sofa, legs crossed, smoking a cigar.
Huang Rui made no move to greet Ling Yan; in J country, he didn't need to bow and greet a foreign power.
But when Ling Yan knocked and came in, Jin Rui still got up and greeted Ling Yan with a smile.
Huang Rui had a buzz cut and a tall, sallow complexion.
She was wearing a tight black leather jacket, leopard-skin leggings, and a large metal earring on her right ear.
She was wearing a black and gold snake necklace.
His pectoral muscles were prominent and bulging, exuding a wildness.
At this moment, Huang Rui put on a smile, stood up, and took two steps forward:
"Welcome, welcome! I wonder what brought Young Master Ling to Japan."
It's been really lively here lately, hahaha~
Please have a seat.
Huang Rui scanned the man in front of him, the master of the underground city of Fancheng, with his sharp leopard eyes.
She was very young and incredibly beautiful. She looked about 70% like the person he remembered.
When Huang Rui was young, he actually met the legendary emperor Ling Teng'an of Fancheng with his eldest brother.
My impression of that big shot was the same: gentle and harmless, you couldn't tell he was a 'businessman' at all.
He was polite, yet he could easily manipulate other people's fates with his words.
Fortunately, Huang Mang (the boss who was killed by Huang Rui) was one of the people who had sought help from Ling Teng'an.
At that time, the Golden Gang was far from the only dominant force in Japan. The Tiger Gang, the Snake Gang, and more than a dozen smaller gangs shared the underground power in Japan.
At that time, Huang Mang was almost driven to the brink of despair by Black Tiger, the leader of the Giant Tiger Gang. He had no choice but to ask Shen Teng'an for help through a very roundabout connection.
Huang Mang hadn't held out much hope; it was just a last-ditch effort before his death.
However, Ling Teng'an, who had agreed to help, immediately sent people to wipe out the Giant Tiger Gang, the largest gang in J country that was opposing him, without saying a word.
The white tiger skin covering his sofa is one of the symbols of the Giant Tiger Gang.
These are spoils of war looted from the Black Tiger's secret chamber after Huang Mang defeated the Giant Tiger Gang.
After Huang Rui took office, he naturally inherited this complete white tiger skin.
Therefore, Huang Rui still has a certain degree of goodwill towards Ling Yan.
Ling Yan glanced at Huang Rui, gestured for him to sit down, and the two sat down facing each other.
Ling Yan took the cigar Huang Rui offered and held it between her fingers.
The direct approach:
"I need you to find me a woman and get her safely out of J country."
"Name your price."
Huang Rui raised an eyebrow, somewhat surprised that Ling Yan had actually started doing business with him.
Huang Rui chuckled and spread his hands, asking:
"May I ask about this woman's background?"
She seems to be quite important.
If I accidentally touch someone I shouldn't, I'll...
Ling Yan looked up at Huang Rui again and scoffed softly:
"She's my second uncle's woman. Our family was in an uproar over this. I'm sorry to have embarrassed Chairman Rui."
The Golden Gang has now been renamed the Golden Association, and Huang Rui is the president of the Golden Association.
There's absolutely nothing wrong with Ling Yan addressing him that way.
"Oh, since it's Young Master Ling's family matter, I won't ask any further. It's just that this woman is currently in the hands of the Andrew family, and I..." Huang Rui was still trying to evade Ling Yan's question.
"I told you, name your price." Ling Yan stated firmly, indicating that he had no time for pretense.
"Young Master Ling is indeed straightforward. Alright, I'll get the person safely out of J country before this afternoon." Huang Rui couldn't help but sneer. How much did he dislike him? He couldn't even muster the patience for a few pleasantries.
"There's one more thing." Ling Yan glanced at Huang Rui again:
"I need to borrow some people from Chairman Rui. There's a traitor in my family, and I need to personally bring him back."
"It's that person from the Yan family." Huang Rui naturally knew some information about the Andrew family's representative.
“It wasn’t him.” Ling Yan twirled his cigar, his eyes flickering.
"No problem, Young Master Ling, feel free to use my men. Speaking of which, our Golden Society also received a favor from Elder Ling in the past."
Huang Rui's statement at this time was clearly a gesture to curry favor with Ling Yan.
Ling Yan nodded, accepting Huang Rui's kindness.
"Goodbye, Chairman Huang."
Ling Yan nodded and said goodbye to Huang Rui.
Huang Rui watched Ling Yan leave, and although he didn't personally get up to see her off, he didn't stop her either.
Saying you're borrowing someone is too polite.
Huang Rui's attitude indicated that he would not interfere in the Ling family's affairs.
That's enough.
Ling Yan went downstairs and called over Ling Kun, who was in the throes of gambling.
The twin brothers followed Ling Yan out of the casino, and everyone showed great curiosity about this new force.
Moreover, the skill Ling Kun just displayed at the gambling table clearly showed he was no ordinary person.
"Boss, are you really not going to care about them?"
"Should we say hello to Yan Zheng and Hei Jie? After all, they paid the land rental fee." One of Huang Rui's underlings suggested.
"No need." Huang Rui's face was full of cunning.
In J country, double-crossing is the most common occurrence.
What he needs to do now is turn a blind eye and remain neutral.
He allowed them to turn his territory into a gladiatorial arena.
After all, no matter who wins in the end, they should acknowledge Huang Rui's goodness.
This is a sure-fire way to make money.
Ling Yan didn't actually need Huang Rui's help; he simply took his own people to Yan Zheng's temporary residence in J country.
Yan Zheng was still surprised when Ling Yan barged into the room.
"Brother Yan, what is this?"
Ling Yan immediately delivered an uppercut, knocking Yan Zheng to the ground.
Yan Zheng didn't react at first, but when he got up from the ground and wiped the blood from the corner of his mouth, although there was still a smile on his lips, his eyes had turned completely cold.
"Young Master Yan, you're quite the show-off," he said, then pounced on her and the two started fighting again.
When they were kids, the two of them never really fought to a draw at the training base. Now that they're older, they can finally have a good match.
But Ling Yan had no intention of sparring with him. Every punch landed squarely, drawing blood, and in no time, he had Yan Zheng knocked to the ground, unable to get up.
Ling Yan pressed Yan Zheng's head down forcefully to the ground:
"Where is Ling Changqing?" Ling Yan demanded fiercely.
Yan Zheng was pinned to the ground; his stubbornness would only invite a stronger beating.
"I've arranged for him to hide with Heijie in Songcheng for the time being."
"You're coming with me now to demand their release." Ling Yan didn't give Yan Zheng time to react.
Why did I—
Ling Yan delivered another powerful punch.
Yan Zheng's mouth was slapped crooked.
He spat out a mouthful of blood.
He glared defiantly and said:
"Just for your second uncle's mistress, you had to beat me up like this?"
"My father saved you!" Yan Zheng wasn't that he couldn't beat Ling Yan, but he lost the initiative and was then constantly suppressed by Ling Yan. He was extremely resentful at this moment.
"Don't try to get close to me," Ling Yan said, dragging Yan Zheng forward.
"You think I'd punch you twice if it weren't for Uncle Yan? Do you even know what that bastard Ling Changqing did? And you still dare to protect him."
"I now think that it's enough for Uncle Yan to leave behind only one son. You can simply disappear from this world." Ling Yan had no composure at this moment. Faced with Yan Zheng's current attitude, he only wanted to throw him and Ling Changqing into the sea to feed the fish.
Yan Zheng was dragged on the ground and simply gave up.
From the gate to the yard, Ling Yan dragged her all the way, and she didn't know what kind of stones, table corners, and uneven mud she bumped her head on.
In a sorry state.
"Wasn't it Ling Changqing who leaked your whereabouts before?"
You've endured this for so many years, why are you determined to kill him now?
"Your reaction time is so slow~" Yan Zheng continued to banter, as stubborn as a rock in a latrine.
He was almost beaten to a pulp, his head was bleeding, but that didn't shut his mouth.
"Shut up!
He dared to touch my woman.
"I want him dead!" Ling Yan dragged Yan Zheng over the last step, with a loud thud.
Yan Zheng crashed into something hard.
Yan Zheng was so dizzy from the impact that he didn't care about anything else.
"What did you say
"Ling Changqing bullied Zhihan." Yan Zheng was no longer dragged along and stood up from the ground on his own.
Ling Yan looked at him without saying a word.
"Holy crap!"
Leave this to me.
"I've come to avenge my sister Zhihan." Yan Zheng's attitude changed completely, undergoing a 180-degree turn.
Yan Zheng hopped around on the spot, pacing back and forth in the yard.
Ling Yan crossed his arms and watched Yan Zheng put on this act. His tightly pursed lips suggested he wanted to skin him alive or tear him apart.
"How did Ling Changqing bully her?" Yan Zheng seemed even angrier than Ling Yan. He suddenly stopped in front of Ling Yan and looked at him with a serious expression.
"What do you think?" Ling Yan's face darkened.
"Holy crap, holy crap!" Yan Zheng started scratching his head and spinning in circles.
"Ling Yan, are you serious?"
He couldn't even protect his own woman and let her suffer a loss.
I despise you.
I've made my decision. From now on, I will protect Zhihan.
You coward.
After scolding Ling Yan, Yan Zheng led his men to Hei Jie's place.
Fifteen minutes later, Ling Changqing appeared before Ling Yan and Yan Zheng with a bruised and swollen face.
Ling Changqing's right hand was severed and was now hanging limply at his side.
My eyes are so swollen I can't open them.
He could barely make out Ling Yan's face through his slits in the air.
Ling Changqing even managed to laugh out loud despite the excruciating pain.
"What's wrong, Young Master Yan? Are you heartbroken?"
"Miss Lin won't even let you touch her now, hahaha~" Ling Changqing laughed for a while before spitting out a mouthful of blood.
But his eyes still held a madness.
"Miss Lin is so sweet. Do you know how I tasted her lips?"
Holy crap!
"You still dare to say that?" Yan Zheng delivered a powerful punch that sent Ling Changqing bouncing off the ground.
This time, there's really no laughing to be had.
Like a fish that's half-breathing.
"I...I didn't touch her."
I can hypnotize people, but I'm just using her memories.
The kiss was real.
I didn't do any more.
Brother Yan, please don't kill me.
"Brother Zheng, you still have a chance." Ling Changqing clearly knew he might not be doing well.
But he didn't want to die.
Acting on impulse is not his style.
He also left himself a way out.
"It was Shen Qing who told me to ruin Miss Lin's reputation, but I didn't do as he said."
Shen Qing is a terrifying woman.
I'm afraid that if I don't do what she says, she'll retaliate against me.
Brother Yan, I know I was wrong. I've regretted it ever since I betrayed you four years ago.
Don't kill me.
I can help you remove the effects of hypnosis on Ms. Lin and help her forget this memory.
"I'm still useful to you, Brother Yan, please don't kill me."
Lying on the ground, Ling Changqing truly regretted his actions. He was covered in wounds and barely clinging to life.
He racked his brains, trying to figure out what other bargaining chips he had left.
No!
There isn't one!
"I have no choice but to lie," Ling Changqing said, clinging to his last breath.
"I have a medical discovery that I can offer to the Ling family."
Really, you believe me.
Brother Yan!
I'm still useful.
Ye Yunran is more useful to you than you are.
Brother Yan,
Please, spare me some breath, let me finish this medical research.
It's not too late to kill me then.
Thinking about it another way, luckily it wasn't me back then, was it?
Young Master Yan, you know him.
The people in our base don't bother with dealing with women.
I also came from the base.
I just...
Eyes blinded by jealousy.
I want to get revenge on you.
Yan Shao.
I……"
Yan Zheng delivered another powerful punch, knocking the man unconscious.
He circled around Ling Changqing, saying irritably:
Did he kiss Zhihan?
Holy crap, I haven't even touched her yet.
How dare he?
They must be killed.
Yan Zheng hesitated, concerned about his sister Zhihan's psychological trauma.
Ling Yan issued an ultimatum: "Just throw them into the sea to feed the fish."
Yan Zheng said awkwardly, "So ruthless."
Ling Yan glared at him.
"Okay, okay, I'll do it myself, alright?" Yan Zheng indicated that he was willing to do it himself, even if it meant getting his hands dirty.
Ling Yan stepped forward and crippled Ling Changqing with a single kick.
His left hand was also broken.
Yan Zheng's thighs tightened, and he felt a sharp pain in his left hand. He quickly looked to the side.
Ling Yan added, "Cut off the tongue."
Yan Zheng covered his mouth.
Ling Yan glared at him.
"Fine, fine, I'll do it." Yan Zheng drew a knife from his sleeve, his movements far more ruthless than his expression suggested.
He stepped forward and pried open Ling Changqing's mouth.
Blood splattered on the spot.
He didn't kill him.
This was a subtle action left behind by Yan Zheng.
Ling Changqing said he could help Zhihan erase her painful memories.
He couldn't let Ling Yan ruin her because of his anger.
Wow~, this is the first time I've seen Young Master Yan so angry.
Yan Zheng felt a sense of loss, like a rabbit mourning the death of a fox.
I couldn't help but think, if he had dared to touch Lin Zhihan or harbor any wicked intentions, wouldn't he be the one slumped on the ground like a ghost right now?
