Chapter 22: All of You Come at Once!
The next day, after Ye Qiu finished work and took Bai Lan home, he received a call from Mouse.
"Got any news?"
"King, recently, many people of the Blood Cross have disappeared, like they've deliberately hidden away. However, I found out that the master of the Celestial Splendor Martial Arts Hall in Jiangnan City, Cai Minghui, might know something about the Blood Cross."
As an intelligence officer within the Demon Corps, it wasn't too difficult for Mouse to investigate some situations.
"Alright, I'll personally pay a visit to the Celestial Splendor Martial Arts Hall!"
Saying that, Ye Qiu hung up the phone, halted a taxi, and rushed straight towards the Celestial Splendor Martial Arts Hall.
Meanwhile, after receiving some simple treatment at the hospital, Wei Liangjun and others couldn't wait to head to the Celestial Splendor Martial Arts Hall.
When they arrived, Cai Minghui was already waiting.
As soon as Wei Liangjun's group noticed Cai Minghui sitting in the main seat of the living room, their breathing immediately became rapid.
There was a hint of fear in their eyes!
Although they had never seen Cai Minghui in action, it was known that the Snow Wolf and Tiger gangs in Jiangnan City were very famous!
Yet, even such existences were wiped out by Cai Minghui, showing how strong Cai Minghui's might was.
Now seeing Cai Minghui in person, Wei Liangjun's followers were all beginning to look forward to the moment when Ye Qiu would kneel before them.
"Uncle Cai."
Upon seeing Cai Minghui, Wei Liangjun quickly walked up to him.
In truth, there was no uncle-nephew relationship between Cai Minghui and Wei Liangjun, but because Wei Liangjun was arrogant and often got into trouble, he frequently sought Cai Minghui's help to deal with those troubles!
In such comings and goings, the two became more and more familiar, and Wei Liangjun shamelessly called Cai Minghui uncle, trying to take advantage.
"Wei, who did you provoke this time?"
Because Wei Liangjun often come to him, in other words, often brought money to him, Cai Minghui's attitude toward Wei Liangjun was relatively good.
"An old classmate of mine, with some little skills."
Upon mentioning Ye Qiu, Wei Liangjun's face turned grim again.
One could now say that Ye Qiu was a hurdle in Wei Liangjun's heart; if he couldn't overcome it, this hatred would root deeply and never be erased.
"Oh."
Hearing Wei Liangjun say it was his classmate, Cai Minghui didn't care much. In his view, similar people flocked together; thus, Wei Liangjun's classmate couldn't be anything remarkable.
"Ling Hao, I'll leave this matter to you." Cai Minghui glanced at his first disciple and said.
"Yes."
"Uncle Cai, that kid has some skills."
In the past, when Wei Liangjun sought Cai Minghui, it was mostly Cai himself who took action. Now, seeing Cai Minghui merely dispatching his first disciple, Wei Liangjun hurriedly stopped him.
"It's fine." Cai Minghui waved his hand, then nodded at Ling Hao.
Ling Hao got the message and casually slammed his palm onto a table.
With a loud "bang," everyone's attention turned towards it.
After Ling Hao removed his hand, everyone noticed that the iron table bore a deep palm print.
"Hiss..."
Seeing this, Wei Liangjun and the others couldn't help but gasp.
A single hit left a five-finger mark on an iron table; how much strength does that take?
"Good! With Brother Ling's help, this will be a piece of cake!"
At this moment, Wei Liangjun's face was glowing with excitement. To him, as long as Ling Hao took action, Ye Qiu was doomed.
So, Wei Liangjun didn't dilly-dally; he promptly signaled his follower to produce a box and open it:
"Uncle Cai, this is 200,000, and this here is that kid's photo."
Saying that, Wei Liangjun found Ye Qiu's photo on his phone.
Cai Minghui merely glanced at it, noticing nothing special about Ye Qiu beyond being somewhat handsome. Therefore, he paid it no mind and casually said, "No problem."
Seeing Cai Minghui agree, Wei Liangjun felt reassured because he knew Cai Minghui never failed. He quickly added:
"Uncle Cai, I have another shameless request. This time, don't take the kid's life directly; I want to torture him bit by bit!"
The humiliation Ye Qiu brought to Wei Liangjun was something he'd remember for a lifetime, and if Ye Qiu died so easily, he would feel unsatisfied.
"Leave it to me," Ling Hao said with a cold smile.
He didn't bother to put Ye Qiu in his eyes. To him, Wei Liangjun was simply throwing money at the Celestial Splendor Martial Arts Hall, and if this matter went smoothly, he would receive a bonus. Thus, Ling Hao was quite eager.
"Boom!"
Just as the group finished discussing Ye Qiu, the martial arts hall's door was kicked open.
A young man then slowly walked in from outside.
Everyone inside the martial arts hall looked shocked at the appearance of the young man!
The Celestial Splendor Martial Arts Hall was well-known throughout Jiangnan City, and no one in the underworld dared underestimate its power.
Yet, the young man seemed like he was about to challenge the hall.
"Who are you?"
Immediately, a disciple inside the hall shouted sternly.
"Ye Qiu!" Ye Qiu said calmly.
"Ye Qiu?"
Upon hearing this name, Cai Minghui and Ling Hao were taken aback, feeling the name was familiar as if they'd heard it somewhere before.
"That's him! Uncle Cai, that's the kid!"
Wei Liangjun snapped out of his surprise and shouted loudly.
Though he didn't know why Ye Qiu suddenly appeared here, it no longer mattered:
"Ye Qiu, you really are courting death!"
Listening to Wei Liangjun's words, Cai Minghui and Ling Hao then realized!
This was indeed the person they intended to deal with!
At once, their faces wore cold smiles, thinking that the 200,000 was really effortlessly earned today!
Seeing this, those disciples of the Celestial Splendor Martial Arts Hall promptly charged at Ye Qiu.
"Coming here to cause trouble at the Celestial Splendor Martial Arts Hall? You're courting death!"
"Kill, slaughter this brat!"
The Celestial Splendor Martial Arts Hall had developed to this scale for a reason, and any disciple here could fight against elite soldiers, especially since they had strength in numbers.
Immediately, a group of people surrounded Ye Qiu tightly.
Ye Qiu was surrounded, but his face showed no panic, only deep calmness: "Come at me together."
"Damn, this guy is too arrogant!"
"Arrogant? The Celestial Splendor Martial Arts Hall isn't a place you can behave arrogantly in!"
"Why bother with useless talk? Just slaughter him already!"
Ye Qiu's words immediately angered the disciples; one by one, they all jumped out.
