“Could he be from Shaolin Temple and knows Death Proof kung fu?” Jia Zizai wondered aloud as he rubbed his chin.

“Does that kung fu really exist?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“Yes, it was on TV,” Jia Zizai said, knowing that wasn’t a very reliable source. “Ah, but I could tell that you have the courage. You have made great progress.”

“If I didn’t try, how would I know how hard it is to deal with him?” Zhong Liuchuan replied.

“Do you know now?” Jia Zizai asked.

“Yes,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“Why don’t you go back and tell Dr. Wang about it and ask him to help you? Didn’t he come here some time ago?” Jia Zizai asked.

Zhong Liuchuan remained silent as he turned to look at Jia Zizai.

“Oh, what’s the matter? Jia Zizai touched his face. “Didn’t I wash my face, or have I become even more handsome?”

“I just think we should deal with some things by ourselves,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “I don’t want to bother him. He is my master. As an apprentice, I should help with his worries not bring him troubles!”

“Whoa, whoa, what kind of mentality is that?” Jia Zizai asked. “In such a short time, you’ve undergone such a big change. I suddenly feel that I must go to the mountain village again, get on my knees in front of his door, and beg him to accept me as an apprentice.”

Zhong Liuchuan didn’t speak.

“No matter how strong the tiger is, it should be afraid of a pack of wolves,” Jia Zizai said. “It’s better to find the evidence he holds.”

In the afternoon, the sky was a little overcast. In a corner of Dao, there was an old abandoned villa area. People rarely went into the area since real estate in other areas was so popular.

Two people were in a villa.

“Are you sure?” a man asked.

“I don’t think I can escape this time!” Zhang Wei took off his hat and smoothed out his hair.

“Can’t hide?” The man was surprised.

“My hunch has always been accurate.” Zhang Wei said.

“The last time was more troublesome than this time, and didn’t you escape unscathed?” the man asked.

“It’s not the same,” Zhang Wei said.

“What about the things handed to you?” the man asked.

“It’s all destroyed,” Zhang Wei replied.

“Destroyed? Are you sure?” the man asked. “Aren’t you letting them off lightly?”

“Remember, there has never been a so-called letting people off lightly,” Zhang Wei said. “Some things will allow you to gain profit at the expense of others. It can be done. Some things will not gain you profits even at the expense of others, so there is no point in doing them. It would only cause some irrelevant people to be happy.”

That other man started to refute his words. “That…”

“What’s more, there is too much involved in the information I hold, most of which has no actual evidence,” Zhang Wei said. “Even if it was disclosed, it would only cause a temporary disturbance. It’s better to destroy it.”

“I see,” the man said.

“Dongying’s part must not be destroyed,” Zhang Wei said. “Keep it for me. I still need it.”

“Understood,” the man replied.

“For the first 30 years of my life, I had no free will,” Zhang Wei said with a sigh. “For the next 15 years, it was the same. I’m living in constant fear like I’m walking on thin ice.”

“You can create a different identity,” the man suggested.

“I can’t change it,” Zhang Wei said. “I can’t go back.”

Meanwhile, Zhong Liuchuan received a call from Wang Yao. He rushed over to the guild hall to meet up with him and Sun Yunsheng.

“Why are you here, Master?” he asked.

“I saw the news on the website and felt a little uneasy, so I came here to have a look,” Wang Yao replied. “Did you see that man?”

“Yes, I’ve dealt with him,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“How was it?” Wang Yao asked.

“I’m not his match.” Zhong Liuchuan carefully described the details of the match.

“Interesting,” Wang Yao said. “Can you find out where this man is?”

“I’ll do my best,” Sun Yunsheng said.

With a population of millions, it was very troublesome to find one person in Dao. If one had the means to spend money to find one person, it was much easier. When the amount of money was large, such as millions of dollars, it was even easier.

That night, Sun Yunsheng brought news. “We found him.”

If it wasn’t for Wang Yao’s arrangement, the Sun family would not have interfered in this matter. It was terrifying to use the underground forces controlled by the family to cooperate with the forces on the surface.

“Where is he?” Wang Yao asked.

“Here in an old villa area,” Sun Yunsheng replied.

“I’ll go and see,” Wang Yao said.

“Now?” Sun Yunsheng was surprised.

“Yes, now,” Wang Yao said.

At night, Dao was still very lively. In the suburbs, it was a different story. There was an abandoned villa area at the junction of the suburbs. The owner of the development was unable to continue development since the capital chain was broken. No one had accepted and continued the project, so it had become an uncompleted building. It was a rare sight under the current situation of the real estate boom in Dao.

The area surrounding the villa was pitch dark with overgrown with weeds. It looked like a backdrop from a horror film.

“This is it,” Wang Yao said.

“Here?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

Wang Yao sat in the car and looked up at the sky. “Quite interesting. You guys wait here. I’ll go and take a look.”

“May I go with you?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“I’ll go too,” Jia Zizai said.

“We may alert them if there are too many people,” Wang Yao said.

“If we don’t follow you there, I’m afraid that you’ll recognize the wrong person,” Zhong Liuchuan said.

“Alright, let’s go together,” Wang Yao said.

The three men got out of the car, leaving Hu Mei alone to guard the car. They headed toward the abandoned villa area. It was very quiet. The only slight sound was the wind gently blowing the grass.

“It’s pitch dark,” Zhong Liuchuan said. “Is anyone there?”

The abandoned house in front of them was quiet.

Wang Yao stopped in his tracks.

“What’s the matter?” Zhong Liuchuan asked.

“There’s someone in there,” Wang Yao said.

With that, he began to move faster. Zhong Liuchuan and Jia Zizai also sped up behind him.

In the abandoned villa, a man stood quietly in front of the paneless window. “Is someone coming?”

Wang Yao arrived at the villa and saw President Zhang, who looked very ordinary.

Zhang Wei sat there quietly, looking at the three people who had come in. He finally said, “Liuchuan, Jia Zizai, you’re here too. And this is?” He looked at Wang Yao.

“Hello, my name is Wang Yao.” Wang Yao smiled. “Hello, Zhang Wei.”

“It’s already so late,” Zhang Wei said. “You’re not here to reminisce with me, are you?”

“Yes, we’re a little worried about you, so we’re here to have a look,” Jia Zizai said.

“You don’t have to be so hypocritical at times like this. You’re probably not totally at ease if I’m alive, right?” Zhang Wei laughed at himself.

“You are very ill,” Wang Yao said.

“Huh?” Zhang Wei was stunned.

“You have been poisoned, and it is lethal,” Wang Yao said.

“How can you tell?” Zhang Wei asked. He was indeed seriously ill and had been severely poisoned.

“You worked with the Dongying people because you wanted to use their advanced science and technology to survive, right? The so-called organ trafficking was actually for experiments.” Wang Yao made a conjecture of his own.

“Awesome,” Zhang Wei said after a moment of silence.

Jia Zizai and Zhong Liuchuan were stunned. In their opinions, the chairman, who had been invincible in the past and imposed over everyone else, was a seriously ill person. If he was already so powerful when he was so ill, what would he be like if he were healthy?

“It’s no use saying more,” Zhang Wei said. “Now that you’re here, let’s do it!”

“Your current physical condition is not suitable to use internal Qi, otherwise it will only poison yourself faster,” Wang Yao said.

“Can you even see that?” Zhang Wei asked. “Internal Qi… He actually knows internal Qi!”

“Their blackmail data?” Wang Yao pointed to the two people behind him.

“It’ll be exposed when I die,” Zhang Wei said.

The ambiance suddenly became a little grim.

Wang Yao stared at him for a while before turning around to leave. “Let’s go.”

“Why?” Jia Zizai asked.

“He’s a dying man,” Wang Yao asked. “What else is there to negotiate.”

“If you want to leave, you’ve got to ask me,” Zhang Wei quietly said.

Wang Yao turned around. He instantly flashed in front of Zhang Wei and grabbed the air.

With a thud, Zhang Wei fell to his knees. He seemed to be trapped by the shackles of a thousand pounds. He couldn’t move. He urged the movements of the internal Qi in his body, but he was only able to move a little. His gaze changed. He was not as calm as before.

“Who are you?” he asked.

“I am just me,” Wang Yao said. “Stop using your internal Qi.”

He reached out and struck several acupoints on Zhang Wei’s body. Next, he reached out and grabbed the man’s arm and pushed up his sleeve. His skin had a metallic sheen. It was hard but not tough enough.
