Top-tier Unruly Master

Small Moustache Man led Ding Fan and Xu Rui into an alleyway.

There were few pedestrians passing by here, and even if they made a scene, no one would step in.

Ding Fan was quite satisfied with the place; if he disabled these hoodlums here, it's unlikely anyone would know.

"Kid, don't say I didn't give you a chance, now get on your knees and kowtow to us brothers. Then I might let you off the hook," Tattooed Man stepped forward, pointing at Ding Fan's nose as he spoke.

In Tattooed Man's eyes, Ding Fan was just a pushover. If they had started a dispute in the restaurant earlier, they wouldn't dare do much to Ding Fan, at most throwing a few punches. After all, that place was in the bustling area of Dongcheng, under the watchful eyes of the police, where they didn't dare go too far.

But this pushover has led them into this alley, idiotically enough. Here, even if they crippled Ding Fan, it wouldn't cause any trouble.

At this moment, Xu Rui stood there watching with an indifferent expression, having seen Ding Fan's skills before. She could already foresee the miserable fate of these men.

"Girl, wait till we deal with this eyesore, then we'll have some fun with you..." Tattooed Man's eyes almost clung onto Xu Rui.

Xu Rui shook her head at this, finding it laughable—ignorance truly is without fear. She wondered what they would think after witnessing Ding Fan's beastly side. "We'll talk after you deal with him."

Tattooed Man chuckled. "Don't worry, you won't have to wait long."

Ding Fan didn't wait for Tattooed Man to finish his words. His body suddenly moved, and before Tattooed Man even realized what was happening, Ding Fan's heavy punch was already barreling towards him.

Tattooed Man couldn't dodge; as the punch hit his chest, he gave a choked gasp and passed out on the spot.

The rest of the men were stunned. They had not expected Ding Fan to take the initiative to strike first under these circumstances.

However, Ding Fan didn't give them any time to react. A series of chain kicks followed by a smooth swing of his fists left all of them, except Small Moustache Man, overturned on the ground.

At this moment, Xu Rui's eyes unreservedly glowed with admiration. Ding Fan's moves were clean, efficient, impressive, and fluid. Watching Ding Fan beat people up was nearly a pleasure.

Small Moustache Man's expression turned grave, yet his eyes betrayed no panic.

Ding Fan knew why Small Moustache Man wasn't panicking; he had been using mere martial skills, while Small Moustache Man was confident in his protective Evil Cultivation Technique, thinking he could easily crush Ding Fan.

Ding Fan did not engage Small Moustache Man. "Are you with Zheng Group?"

Upon hearing Ding Fan's words, Tattooed Man couldn't help the subtle change in his expression.

"What's your relationship with Iron Dragon?" Ding Fan asked with a calm tone, each word seemingly timed with a specific rhythm.

"Iron Dragon is my senior brother..." Small Moustache Man answered faintly, as if under a spell.

Xu Rui, on the side, was taken aback. She had seen her fair share of the world and had encountered a hypnotherapist before. Allegedly, once someone mastered another person's life rhythm, they could hypnotize them, eventually making the person act under their command.

The technique Ding Fan used was somewhat similar to that hypnotherapist's method. However, Xu Rui remembered that the hypnotist had mentioned how challenging it was to become a Hypnotist. Without decades of experience, one couldn't even begin to grasp the essence of hypnotism.

How old was Ding Fan, after all? Just in his early twenties. Could it be that at this young age, he had already touched upon the path of a Hypnotist?

What other secrets did this Ding Fan have?

Actually, Xu Rui wasn't far off in her thinking. The technique Ding Fan was using could indeed be considered hypnotism, but in the Cultivation World, it was known as the God Summoning Technique.

The so-called God Summoning Technique involved controlling another's consciousness, similar in function to hypnotism.

However, in the Cultivation World, very few used the God Summoning Technique, as it only worked on those with a lower cultivation than oneself. If used against someone with equal or higher cultivation, the God Summoning Technique would not only fail to control their consciousness, but it would also harm one's own Divine Sense.

Therefore, in the Cultivation World, the God Summoning Technique was generally regarded as a fringe and unorthodox method. But after being reborn on Earth, Ding Fan found this technique quite useful in the current context.

"What's the relationship between Zheng Group and Qiu Yuanzheng?" Ding Fan asked.

This was the question Ding Fan cared most about. Fan Aiping had sent Hu Jin to Iron Dragon; Fan Aiping was Qiu Yuanzheng's man, and Iron Dragon was the head of Zheng Group. There must be a connection between Qiu Yuanzheng and Iron Dragon.

"Qiu Yuanzheng is the secular representative of the White Lotus Sect... Zheng Group is White Lotus Sect's secular enterprise, and Qiu Yuanzheng is merely managing this part of their business for them," Tie Hu now spoke in a tone that resembled a robot.

Zheng Group is an industry of the White Lotus Sect, and Qiu Yuanzheng is responsible for managing the White Lotus Sect's industries? Ding Fan was a bit puzzled; if it truly was about managing industries, why wasn't Qiu Yuanzheng the general manager of Zheng Group?

"Why isn't Qiu Yuanzheng the person in charge of Zheng Group?" Ding Fan asked.

"Qiu Yuanzheng doesn't want to be the person in charge, he only made my senior brother Iron Dragon..."

Thinking through Tie Hu's words, Ding Fan started to understand. From the information available, Qiu Yuanzheng had some entanglements with Qin's Group. He could come up with a large amount of funds—money that must definitely belong to the White Lotus Sect. It looked like Qiu Yuanzheng was using Iron Dragon as a shield.

The money was used by him, and once the White Lotus Sect conducted its investigation, all the blame would fall on Iron Dragon. Ever since his rebirth, he had seen enough of such a wicked human nature...

"Iron Dragon was killed, why hasn't the White Lotus Sect made any moves?" Ding Fan inquired.

"The fifth elder of the White Lotus Sect, who is responsible for the investigation, has already arrived in Dongcheng. He is investigating... the cause of Iron Dragon's death,"

At this moment, Tie Hu had started foaming at the mouth.

Ding Fan knew that this was because he had influenced his consciousness for too long. Although Tie Hu practiced Evil Cultivation Techniques, after all, his cultivation was too shallow. If the control over his consciousness lasted too long, at best he would faint, but he could also turn comatose or even die.

Right away, Ding Fan retracted his Divine Sense, and Tie Hu, who was still standing there, suddenly collapsed onto the ground, his body going limp.

Ding Fan glanced at Xu Rui on the side, who had long since been dumbfounded. "Let's go, we should head back..."

Tie Hu's consciousness was damaged, but as for the questions Ding Fan had just asked him, he could only consider them to be occurrences within a dream. Thus, Ding Fan had nothing to worry about.

...

Su Maner came to Sichuan Cuisine today with Hu Jin to accompany an important guest. This guest was someone sent by the headquarters of Qin's Group.

Strictly speaking, Su Maner did not want to attend today's meal. The reason was nothing else but her not wanting to meet this person sent by the headquarters.

This person, named Li Guanglin, was a university classmate of Su Maner, and, at one time, was her first love in college.

The two had sworn eternal love and had even arranged that as soon as college ended, they would get married.

However, life is unpredictable. While Su Maner still dreamed about being a bride after college graduation, Li Guanglin got married before finishing college. And his bride was not Su Maner.

Li Guanglin's bride was not much more beautiful than Su Maner, who was the recognized campus belle in college. There were indeed not many who could surpass Su Maner's beauty.

Instead of being beautiful, Li Guanglin's bride was a fat woman.

This fat woman had quite a background, as it was said her father was a high-level manager within Qin's Group. When she married Li Guanglin, she promised that as long as he married her, she would help him secure an official position in the headquarters of Qin's Group.

Qin's Group, one of the top fifty enterprises in Huaxia Country, was a large enterprise even throughout Yahuan State. To be able to distinguish oneself in such a company, Li Guanglin immediately chose to give up love and pursue his 'career'.

At that time, Su Maner had not told Li Guanglin about her family's relationship with the Yanjing Qin Family. She didn't want their marriage to be filled with too much interest. But who knew that in the end, for the sake of benefits, Li Guanglin would turn to another woman's embrace.

Although Su Maner had been heartbroken, she also felt fortunate. Thanks to that opportunity, she had seen through such a scumbag. Otherwise, spending a lifetime with such a person would have disgusted her to death.

Yet, the world turns, and people change. After all the twists and turns, Su Maner found herself sitting at the same table with Li Guanglin again to have a meal. However, to avoid awkwardness, Su Maner had also brought Hu Jin with her.

"Man Er, you are even more beautiful now than you were in college..."

Around the dinner table, Li Guanglin smiled amiably at Su Maner.

From the moment they met, Li Guanglin's eyes hadn't strayed from Su Maner's face.

In fact, Li Guanglin had long since hated himself. Why was he so anxious back then? If he had known that Su Maner came from such an impressive background as that of the Qin Family, why would he have married that fat woman?

Being ravaged by the fat woman every night and having to force a smile was not a pleasant feeling.

"Manager Li, it's better if you call me Director Su." Su Maner's eyebrows slightly furrowed, then she spoke indifferently.

"Hehe, Man Er, we are old friends after all, why must we be so distant..."

Before Li Guanglin could finish, Su Maner cut him off. "I wonder, Manager Li, what is the main purpose of your visit to Dongcheng this time..."

Seeing Su Maner's icy demeanor towards him, Li Guanglin smiled awkwardly. "I came to meet the manager named Ding Fan who saved the Group last time."
