********** ... If Tianchong's approach didn't work, then the only option was to focus on Lan Yuli. Although this seemed unrealistic , He Ming knew that everyone eventually slips up. With Fu Feng constantly monitoring her, he believed they would soon make a move. He Ming's guess was spot on. Three days later, Fu Feng sent word that Lan Yuli had secretly met with someone using the alleyway information she'd obtained from the Tianchong gang. He knew his opportunity had arrived. Admittedly, He Ming couldn't directly get Lan Yuli to talk, but as long as he followed the trail, he would eventually find something. So, he told Fu Feng to abandon the woman and keep a close watch on the guy, constantly reminding him to be careful . That day, Fu Feng sent a message that surprised He Ming: the guy who had met with Lan Yuli had actually bought a train ticket, apparently preparing to leave Jiangzhou. After a moment's thought, He Ming knew that he could basically ignore Lan Yuli now, so he firmly told Fu Feng to follow as well. The next day, Fu Feng followed the man's bus northward in his private car. A day later, they arrived in the provincial capital. The man's identity was quickly revealed, much to He Ming's surprise—he was a policeman. He Ming pondered, sensing the truth beginning to surface. Since the police wouldn't hire an idle person. Therefore, Lan Yuli was definitely a policewoman. This meant her relationship with the high-ranking leaders of Tianchong was far from simple. Considering this incident, it could be summed up in two words —undercover. He Ming was getting restless. If his guess was correct, then what Lan Yuli stole from Old Man Ling was definitely not "simple." If it fell into the hands of the police, Old Man Ling would be in grave danger. After all, the man's destination was the provincial capital, not this small, powerful Jiangzhou. Indeed, He Ming's life with Old Man Ling as his father-in-law was far from secure. Everything he did felt like a thorn in his side; he was truly unlucky. However, on the other hand, his current success in Jiangzhou was largely due to the old man's influence. Besides, the old man was Ling Zhi's father, so He Ming couldn't just stand by and watch him suffer. But, as the saying goes, the items were now in the police's hands—what could he do? After careful consideration, He Ming felt relieved. Judging from Lan Yuli and that guy's behavior, they clearly weren't planning to close the net yet; otherwise, they wouldn't have needed to be so secretive. There was only one explanation —the timing wasn't right, so there were still ways to salvage the situation. But salvage was easier said than done. Helping Old Man Ling would be tantamount to going against the police, and he wouldn't be implicated? This was a real headache. He Ming was caught in a dilemma. Fortunately, Lan Yuli didn't make any moves for the next two weeks, instead spending most of her time with the vice chairman of Tianchong. Based on his observations, their relationship wasn't as intimate as he'd imagined; it was more like a developmental stage. Otherwise, he would have lamented that such a good woman had been wasted. However, a phone call from Fu Feng at 11 PM that night made him uneasy. It turned out Lan Yuli had spent the entire night at a KTV with Xu Hua and had only just left. Apparently, she was completely drunk and had to be helped a car by him. He Ming knew very well that most KTVs, bars, and nightclubs were places for picking up girls. Alcohol was a drug, and with women around, what man could be so naive? Once drunk, there were no saints like Liu Xiahui in this world. Could He Ming just watch a lamb walk into the lion's den? Of course not. So he went out again and, following the directions Fu Feng had given him, quickly found Xu Hua's residence. As the vice chairman of Tianchong, Xu Hua was naturally wealthy, so his residence was very luxurious—a detached villa located on the outskirts of the city. Villa areas are unlike ordinary residential communities; their areas are naturally much larger, making perfect management unrealistic. Therefore, He Ming easily slipped inside and found Fu Feng hiding under a large tree. From Fu Feng, he learned that this villa belonged to Xu Hua, and that the two had just returned home a few minutes earlier. Without much hesitation, He Ming had Fu Feng wait outside while he quickly darted to the door. Since Xu Hua had just arrived, the door wasn't locked. He gently pushed it open a crack, peeked inside, and slipped in. This kind of stealthy operation was second nature to him. The hall was empty, the lights were on, and it was opulent. The change in environment made He Ming's eyes water slightly. After a moment's adjustment, he quietly went upstairs to the second floor. The second floor was quiet; only one room was lit. Without hesitation, He Ming tiptoed, moving with the agility of a monkey, and quickly reached the door. The door was half-open. He Ming, after a brief moment of preparation, quickly peeked out and then withdrew. In less than a second, he had gleaned a great deal of information. The room was spacious, with a large bed placed to one side. On the brand-new sheets lay a woman's body , dressed in a silver cheongsam-style dress. Her devilish figure was curvaceous, revealing extremely alluring curves. The dress had a high slit, exposing one slender leg, covered in flesh-colored stockings The exquisite lace at the top of the stockings was clearly visible, held up by a thin strap, clinging to her half-exposed buttocks. She was incredibly beautiful and sexy. Her feet were also clad in silver high heels.

Although he couldn't see her face clearly, He Ming was certain it was Lan Yuli .
There was another door on one wall of the room, and behind the semi-transparent glass window, a shadowy figure could be seen moving, accompanied by the faint sound of running water—
it must be the bathroom.

He Ming pondered carefully. He knew that if he didn't act tonight, the woman inside would surely
lose , but figuring out how to do it was a major headache.

While thinking of a solution, He Ming glanced quickly into the room every now and then. Suddenly, he froze,
almost forgetting to pull his head back. Lan Yuli, who had been completely drunk just moments before, had swiftly sat up, her
movements so agile that she showed no signs of intoxication whatsoever.

He Ming instinctively pulled his head back, his heart pounding. It seemed the situation tonight was
far more complex than he had initially thought. He took a deep breath, and once he calmed down, he peered inside again.

At this moment, Lan Yuli took out a cardboard box, then took out a pill-shaped object, put it in her mouth, and
drank it with the water by the bedside. Then she took out a small plastic bottle, squeezed out something, and
smeared it on her fair cheeks with her slender fingers.

In less than half a minute, she lay down again.

Chapter 322 Stalking, Lan Yuli (Part 3)

He Ming didn't know what the woman was up to, but his curiosity was piqued. He continued to secretly
observe . After about five or six minutes, he heard the bathroom door open. He knew it must be Xu Hua coming out.

He paused for a few seconds, then quickly peeked out and saw a fat man around fifty years old, wrapped in
a bath towel, standing at the head of the bed, looking at Lan Yuli greedily. His oily face was really disgusting.
After getting to know him for a while, he was very familiar with the appearance of the deputy leader of Tianchong.

He Ming, of course, dared not keep his head up to observe, so he only glanced at her occasionally. When he
peeked out , he saw that the man was already on top of Lan Yuli, his obese body writhing like a worm,
his large mouth greedily nibbling at the woman's delicate face.

If he hadn't witnessed Lan Yuli's strange behavior earlier, He Ming would definitely have lost his composure by now.
Suppressing his , he decided to observe her a little longer. Sure enough, less than ten seconds later, the fat man suddenly
shook his head, frowned, touched his forehead, and then slowly slumped down.

At the same time, Lan Yuli rolled out of bed, then cautiously called out a few times. Seeing that the fat pig didn't respond,
she carefully rolled out of bed and began looking around, then started searching.

He Ming stared intently, only by figuring out what this woman was looking for could he determine his target.

Lan Yuli probably never dreamed that an uninvited guest would appear under such circumstances. Her vigilance wasn't
high; she focused intently on searching for something. After about ten minutes, she pulled a bunch of
keys , took one, examined it for a moment, and then smiled with satisfaction. She then began tidying up her
messy room.

He Ming knew this woman had probably found what she wanted. Looking around and finding no
quick hiding place nearby, he quickly and quietly retreated, descending the stairs and leaving the villa, then hiding in
a corner.

During the brief wait, He Ming's mind raced. Judging from Lan Yuli's behavior,
the key must be of great importance, given her status. If it fell into
the hands would be a huge blow to Tianchong.

He Ming couldn't remain uninvolved and decided to risk it to retrieve it. However, doing so was tantamount to
going against ; if recognized, he would definitely go to jail. Therefore, he had to conceal his identity when taking action.

He looked around; this huge villa area in the suburbs was the perfect place to make his move. The light was dim, and
there were trees everywhere, so finding a suitable spot meant he wouldn't need much concealment.

Just to be safe, He Ming sent a text message to Fu Feng, stating that he would be meeting this woman later and asking him
to keep a close eye on her. After all, being good at fighting didn't mean being a master at tracking.

He Ming waited for almost five or six minutes before hearing the crisp sound of high heels. He saw Lan Yuli walk out of the villa.
Her casual demeanor, as if she were strolling leisurely, showed her strong mental fortitude.
Most people would feel guilty in this situation, which would only cause trouble.

The light in front of the villa was strong, so He Ming naturally didn't dare to act. He waited until Lan Yuli was far away before
following her.

The neighborhood was large, and the streetlights were already sparse, making it dark. Now, so late, the administrator had cut off the power,
plunging the area into complete darkness, with only a few stars barely surviving the gloom.

In such a situation, most women probably wouldn't dare step out the door, but Lan Yuli showed no sign of backing down,
further proving she wasn't an ordinary woman.

High heels are every fashionable woman's favorite, but as it turns out, sometimes loving beauty can backfire. For example,
right now , it was very quiet all around. If someone wearing flat shoes was being followed, they would definitely be alerted easily,
but Lan Yuli's footsteps were so crisp that He Ming's footsteps were completely suppressed.
He subconsciously lightened his movements, almost like a ghost.

Seeing that the time was ripe, He Ming quickly rushed forward. The night was dark, but he could still make out the general outline of that alluring figure
. When he got close, he instantly reached out his right hand and covered the woman's soft mouth, while his left hand
smoothly reached forward and wrapped around her slender waist.

He Ming thought he had the upper hand with his hands, but he was wrong.

Lan Yuli's reaction was incredibly fast. In an instant, she raised her small foot and, with her sharp high heel, stomped hard on He
Ming's instep.

He Ming had already suffered a great loss at Ling Zhi's hands,
so Reflexively, he lifted his foot and miraculously dodged. However, this was just the beginning.

He Ming lifted his foot, his head leaning forward with the momentum. Lan Yuli didn't even look at him, smoothly tilting her head
back as well.

There was no sound like a broken egg. He Ming hadn't expected this woman to be so experienced in combat, or
to react so quickly. The darkness limited his vision, naturally slowing his reaction by more than ten percent. His nose was instantly
hit, and for a moment he felt a mixture of tastes, saw stars, and felt as if he were falling into a coma. His hands instinctively released
their grip and then covered his nose.

Lan Yuli was fearless, intending to finish the fight quickly. She turned around and swept her long leg towards He Ming.
Although her dress was a tight-fitting cheongsam style, the high slit didn't hinder her movements at all.

He Ming, naturally, wasn't a novice. Ignoring the pain in his nose, he quickly freed his hand and bent his elbow to block at his side.
If the light were sufficient, he knew he would definitely be able to catch a glimpse of the beautiful scenery beneath the woman's dress. Of course,
this thought only flashed through his mind; he already felt that this woman with "beautiful scenery"
was not someone to mess with.

The force from her hand wasn't particularly fierce; after all, she was a woman, and her explosive power in an instant was no match for some strong
men. However, He Ming still staggered a couple of steps to the side. The force from her slender legs was gentle, yet
it seemed concentrated on one point, using every bit of force to its fullest extent.

Lan Yuli's attacks were like a storm, showing no sign of stopping. She raised her leg and, using the sharp
heel of her high heel, instantly kicked He Ming in the waist.

He Ming dodged to the side and fled in a disheveled state without thinking.

Tears gradually blurred his vision, and the metallic taste at the corner of his mouth told He Ming that his nose
was badly irritated. He knew he had encountered a formidable opponent tonight. After briefly assessing the exchange, he realized that although he had
the upper hand in strength, he was completely unaccustomed to fighting in this environment. The woman opposite him, on the other hand, seemed completely at ease. If
the fight continued, he might be subdued instead of subdued. Simply put, it wasn't that he couldn't beat this
woman , but rather that he was uncomfortable fighting in the darkness.

Lan Yuli, somewhat startled, didn't give chase, disregarding her image, and quickly
ran towards the villa's exit, the sound of her high heels clicking somewhat erratically.

"What happened? Should we stop her?"

Fu Feng was indeed an extremely capable bodyguard, always by his side. He probably hadn't expected He Ming
to fail, and given the short duration of the fight, he hadn't had time to intervene.

"No, you can continue following!"

Seeing that Lan Yuli had already left the residential area, and that the outside was brightly lit with many people, He Ming didn't dare to take too much risk and
had to step back.

"Are you alright? Should we go to the hospital?"

Fu Feng was about to chase after her, but stopped and subconsciously asked.

"No need, you go!"

He Ming wiped away the tears that had welled up in his eyes, accidentally touching his nose and wincing in pain. He hadn't expected
to be outmaneuvered by such delicate women. The saying "don't judge a book by its cover" was indeed very
true.

Chapter 323 A Shocking Change, A New Day He Ming left the villa area somewhat dejectedly. He wanted to buy some ointment to apply
, but he felt uneasy. After thinking about it carefully, he finally understood the problem. That woman had stolen the key,
and no matter what, she would definitely not dare to stay outside for long. You must know that Tian Chong's power in Jiangzhou is absolute.
Once Xu Hua wakes up and discovers this, she will have nowhere to escape. So, if she has any purpose, she will definitely act immediately.

He Ming knew that if he let things slide now, he might not have the chance to intervene later. Who knew if this
would be the last piece of evidence Lan Yuli had collected?

The more He Ming thought about it, the more uneasy he became. He called Fu Feng and learned that Lan Yuli had taken a taxi
eastward, heading to the surprising headquarters of the Budong Group.

Ignoring his nose injury, He Ming quickly followed. When he arrived, he saw
that another person. Upon closer inspection, he realized it was the policeman who had taken the items to the provincial capital last time. According to Fu Feng, the two
had just met.

Because there was an extra person, He Ming dared not get too close and could only observe from a distance. Soon after, he saw
Lan Yuli and the man find the building manager, negotiate for a while, and then pull something out of their bag and flash it
—presumably identification. The two then swaggered inside.

He Ming was extremely anxious. The building was different from before. If he rushed in to stop them, he couldn't get away with
it. Was he just supposed to watch helplessly?

He Ming hesitated for a long time, deciding to wait until the two men came out before figuring out what to do. Surely Lan Yuli
wouldn't not return them?

After waiting for about ten minutes, Lan Yuli and the male police officer finally emerged. They got into a
private car and headed straight north.

He Ming and Fu Feng also got into a taxi, asking the driver to follow them. However, they ended up leaving the city,
and the car in front of them still showed no sign of stopping.

"Hey you two, where are you going?"

the taxi driver asked impatiently.

He Ming felt awkward. The car in front of them was a private vehicle; they could go wherever they wanted, while he was
just passenger.

"They're not going straight to the provincial capital, are they?"

Fu Feng asked worriedly.

He Ming understood the seriousness of the situation. If Lan Yuli and Fu Feng went directly to the provincial capital, not only would he
be unable to weren't going to return the keys meant there was enough evidence for the police to
close in.

"Just keep following them! You won't be shortchanged on the fare when you get off!"

He Ming insisted, still determined.

"What time is it? I'm going to finish my shift!"

The taxi driver's tone was unfriendly. No one knew he wasn't trying to lose money; driving two
tall was practically risking his life for money.

He Ming, somewhat impatient, pulled out five or six hundred-yuan bills from his bag and threw them over.

The taxi driver was stunned for a moment, then quickly put the money away, finally relieved. Since the other party
had plenty money, there was no need for them to try and take advantage of him. If they were going to kill him, they'd at least have a plan to steal his money.

And so, He Ming spent the night with Fu Feng in the taxi, but neither of them slept. The
closer the provincial capital, the stronger their worries became.

The next day at noon, his worst fears came true. The car carrying Lan Yuli and Fu Feng
arrived in the provincial capital without a delay and drove straight into the police station.

Witnessing this unfold, He Ming could only shake his head helplessly. Since fate had decreed it,
there was nothing he could do.

Returning calmly to Jiangzhou, He Ming took no action, knowing it was too late to reverse the situation. Besides,
once Xu Hua discovered the key was missing, the whole truth would come out.

He Ming knew a storm was brewing, but he couldn't fathom its full force.

A week later, Jiangzhou was shaken by a magnitude 8 earthquake. Ling Hao, the well-known director of the Budong
Group was arrested. The police stated that they had evidence of his involvement in organized crime, smuggling, and other illegal activities.
The streets and alleys were abuzz with discussion. No one could understand why this powerful figure, who controlled both the legal and illegal
worlds , would be targeted by the police.

Few knew the inside story, but He Ming was one of them. He understood that higher-ups had intervened, and even
Su Xue's father probably wouldn't dare to object, let alone ordinary citizens like himself.

Xia Jingmei also knew about this. Being kind-hearted, she couldn't remain indifferent
. She assumed it was a local Jiangzhou operation and planned to use her financial resources to try and pull some strings.

He Ming, of course, wouldn't let her waste her time, so he explained the whole story. Xia
Jingmei was finally reassured, but she remained worried about Ling Zhi, her future daughter-in-law.

He Ming wasn't particularly affected by this upheaval. Although his relationship with Ling Hao appeared close on the surface,
it wasn't genuine. He was forced to submit to his surroundings; while this outcome wasn't exactly good,
it at least relieved his long-standing anxieties. He wouldn't have to live so fearfully anymore. His only
worry was Ling Zhi. After all, he was engaged to her, and they had already been intimate. To say
he felt nothing would be a lie.

Soon, Ling Zhi came knocking. The once proud woman now looked incredibly
haggard , sobbing and begging Xia Jingmei for help. During their conversation, she bitterly denounced the Su family for their heartlessness—they used to
have a good relationship with her, but now they were indifferent.

He Ming knew immediately that Ling Zhi didn't know the inside story and didn't say much. This was something
he couldn't change, and Xia Jingmei naturally wouldn't make any promises that would offend anyone.
So she simply offered words of comfort.

While troubled, He Ming suddenly felt a strange sense of joy. If Ling Hao really
fell, Jiangzhou City would once again fall into disarray, which would be the perfect opportunity
to make his mark .

However, after this incident, He Ming felt it was best to keep his distance from the underworld. But to develop his own
strength, he didn't necessarily have to come from the underworld. As long as he had enough money, manpower, and connections, no one would
dare to mess with him.

Chapter 324 Revenge, Xia Jing Almost Humiliated (Part 1)

Jiangzhou City was in a state of panic. The police operation continued, not only clearing out Tian Chong's forces everywhere, but also
freezing Ling Hao's personal assets and sealing off the Budong Group. This was practically a repeat of what happened to the Lü family.

He Ming knew very well that it wouldn't be easy for Ling Hao to make a comeback. Even if he wanted to help, he didn't have
the ability . The only thing he could do was to take care of Ling Zhi as much as possible in her life.

Ling Zhi initially came home every few days, sometimes to complain, sometimes to ask for help. Although everyone
was heavy-hearted, their relationship had changed considerably because of this incident. However, in the past week, she seemed to
have disappeared , with no trace of her for a long time.

He Ming was somewhat worried and inquired around, only to find out that the woman had returned to the provincial capital, probably also sensing that this
matter was not simple.

He Ming knew that the Ling family's influence in the provincial capital was not insignificant, and that the woman was probably back to find a solution. Given his sensitive
position , he couldn't ignore it, so he called every few days to inquire.

Ling Zhi wasn't clear about the specifics either, only saying that this matter was probably caused by their rivals, and she didn't know where the problem lay or how to solve it for the
time being.

He Ming couldn't intervene and could only wait quietly for news. He originally thought that this storm would
subside , but unexpectedly, an even greater shock swept through Jiangzhou again. Su Xue's father,
the top official of the municipal party committee, was announced to have been dismissed from his post pending investigation after a seemingly peaceful night.

Less than a month later, one after another, high-ranking figures were arrested, causing widespread panic. Even the
usually bustling night market seemed unusually quiet. It was as if a giant guillotine hung over Jiangzhou,
ready to fall at any moment.

One was a government official, the other a powerful underworld figure. On the surface, they seemed unrelated, but He Ming felt it
couldn't be such a coincidence. He knew the relationship between these two was far more complex than it appeared, so the
two incidents must be connected. He wondered what Lan Yuli had obtained that possessed such
power.

However, racking his brains now was futile. He Ming put aside his worries and went about his business.
For things seemed to have returned to what they were like half a month ago, except now it was Su Xue and her daughter who came to complain, with the
same purpose: either to lament their plight or to seek help with finances or connections.

He Ming naturally had no say in this. Xia Jingmei seemed to have her own difficulties, saying she would try her best financially, but
was truly powerless when it came to connections.

He Ming sighed at the vicissitudes of life, feeling somewhat worried. He knew these people were all connected to him
, and he had offended many wealthy and powerful individuals. He feared he might one day fall from grace and secretly
reminded himself to be more discreet in the future.

It was a dark and windy night. Too much had happened recently, and He Ming had little interest in
hunting for women. After finishing his studies, he went to bed and quickly fell asleep.

Half-asleep, a knock on the door startled him awake. Somewhat groggy, he sat up, wondering
what his adoptive mother wanted so late.

Still half-asleep, he opened the door to find two strange men standing before him, dressed in suits, tall, and
exuding a menacing aura.

He Ming almost thought he was dreaming, but in that instant, one of them raised a steel bar and
slammed it down on his shoulder.

He Ming, somewhat dazed, barely managed to dodge, his bangs fluttering in the air from the steel bar, his nose almost touching
the cold metal. The shock was immense; cold sweat poured down his body, and he was wide awake, quickly retreating.

The two strange men, fierce and menacing, paid him no heed, making no attempt to probe him, forcefully advancing. One of them, without any fancy
moves raised his sword
and brought it crashing down.

As soon as He Ming's mind returned to normal, his first thought was of his beautiful foster mother. He didn't know
what the situation was; the only solution was to deal with these two men as quickly as possible.

After a quick assessment, He Ming realized the two men before him were clearly physically strong and agile, making
a swift His only chance was to strike the man's rival in a decisive blow.

He Ming dodged another vicious blow, grabbed the blanket from the bed, and threw it at the
two .

The blanket was large, and the two men, holding their weapons, tried to push it aside, their vision immediately obstructed.

He Ming leaped forward, his feet landing high in the air, and with a powerful right fist, slammed it into one of
the men's faces. To eliminate the man's fighting ability in one strike, he held little back.
He knew the man had trespassed on a private residence, and under the principle of self-defense, even if someone died, there would be no legal consequences—he was well aware of this basic legal knowledge. He

Ming's strength was immense; the man was struck hard, his head flying backwards before
his body collapsed like a broken sack.

Without pausing, He Ming instantly grabbed the iron bar from the other man who hadn't yet reacted, pulled it
forcefully towards himself, and slammed his knee into the man's abdomen. The man groaned and collapsed limply.

Holding the iron bar, He Ming rushed out the door. The motion-activated lights in the hallway illuminated the surroundings,
making the situation clearly visible.

The lights in Xia Jingmei's room were on, and faint voices could be heard inside. Two
men in matching suits stood guard at the door, holding stun guns, standing there like wooden statues.

He Ming was filled with anxiety. He charged forward, steel bar in hand. The two men, hearing the commotion, looked
surprised . One of them slowly approached, stun gun in hand.

He Ming, of course, wouldn't be so gentlemanly as to engage in close combat. At a distance of about ten feet, he swung the iron bar with
lightning speed .

The man's eyes widened suddenly, and he instinctively shifted his body slightly. The iron bar grazed his head as it flew
past .

However, He Ming's attack was not so simple. The guy in front stepped in dog poop and dodged it, but his
accomplice guarding the door behind him suffered the consequences. Due to limited visibility, he had no time to react and was hit hard in the chest by an iron rod
. His eyes bulged, blood slowly trickled from the corner of his mouth, and he clutched his chest and slowly fell to the ground.

Of course, none of this was accidental; it was all part of He Ming's plan.

The guy in front dodged the iron rod, only to be met with a powerful kick from He Ming in mid-air, his
body flipping backward and sliding a long way.

Seemingly hearing the fighting outside, four or five people rushed out of the room. One of
the men was dressed differently from his accomplices, wearing a white suit, and stared at He Ming with some surprise.

He Ming was about to continue his attack, but then stopped abruptly, slightly stunned, because he
suddenly the other party was actually an acquaintance of his—
the eldest son of the Fu family, who had framed Meng Lei and forced her into a mental hospital.

"I didn't expect you to be so capable at such a young age. I advise you not to move now.
That's your mother inside, right? She has a knife to her neck!"

The man surnamed Fu frowned slightly, his gaze icy as he looked at He Ming, watching the two brothers struggling in the hallway.

He Ming dared not take the risk and obediently stood still.

"Bring her out!"

Fu Dong sneered, then gave the order to the room. A moment later, sure enough, someone escorted Xia Jingmei
out.

He Ming was instantly filled with shock and anger. Xia Jingmei was wearing a pink nightgown; the sheer fabric accentuated her curves
, subtly revealing the outline of her purple underwear. The
outfit , didn't suit her current appearance.

Her clothes were disheveled, her hair messy, and her pretty face streaked with tears—clearly, she had just suffered.

Chapter 325 Revenge, Xia Jingmei Almost Humiliated (Part 2)

He Ming was furious. He stared intently at the man surnamed Fu, wondering
what could possibly drive this guy to hate his family so much that he would force his way in in the dead of night, acting
like a hysterical madman.

"Could it be that he discovered I was the one who rescued Meng Lei?"

He Ming guessed vaguely, but quickly dismissed it. He knew the danger of this matter and had specifically instructed
Meng Lei not to tell anyone.

"Could it be that he discovered I was having an affair with his wife?"

He Ming guessed again, feeling uncertain. So he tentatively asked, "What do you want?"

"What do I want?"

The man surnamed Fu laughed maniacally, "Nothing much, just want to catch up!"

As he spoke, he grabbed Xia Jingmei's hair and pulled her into his arms. Then he snatched the gleaming
dagger from his subordinate and gently wiped it on the woman's fair and delicate cheek.

"Ah!"

Xia Jingmei groaned in pain, then quickly recovered from her shock and shouted, "Xiaoming, run! Don't
worry about me!"

"Don't do anything rash. I'm telling you the truth now, I'm the one who rescued Meng Lei, and I have your wife's
nude photos !"

Feeling uncertain, He Ming decided to play his trump
card since things had come to this point.

"Haha... do you think that thing still has any deterrent effect on me? I kicked
Yu out long ago!"

The man surnamed Fu laughed even more recklessly, gritting his teeth as he said, "I've been wanting to
settle scores with the Ling family and you bastard for a long time, but even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. Now the Ling family is in dire straits, and that Secretary Su has been removed from office.
Let's see who can protect you now!"

He Ming was immediately alarmed. It seemed that this guy already knew that he was responsible for Meng Lei's affair, but
he hadn't taken revenge because he was worried about his connections and influence in Jiangzhou.

"I knew things weren't that simple!"

He Ming felt a pang of regret. He'd rescued Meng Lei initially, thinking the Fu family, with their power and influence, wouldn't
let things go easily . But then, there was no reaction for a long time, so he'd let his guard down.

"Alright, now I'll give you two choices: either come begging for mercy, and I might take pity on you and let you
suffer less, or run away, I won't stop you!"

The man surnamed Fu said, glancing at Xia Jingmei with a lewd grin. "But your mother's so beautiful, I don't
mind making good use of her. Oh, and my brothers too, they've worked so hard for me, they deserve some fun!"

"Heh, you don't know, do you? She's not my biological mother. How much of a threat does capturing her pose to me?"

He Ming's lips curled into a smile, trying to appear nonchalant.

The man surnamed Fu paused, then smiled calmly as well: "Whether she's your biological mother or not, I don't know, and it
doesn't matter, but I do know she's a major director of Jincheng. You can leave now, I won't stop you. After
the brothers have their fun, we'll take some nude photos like you did, then extort a little money from her, and Jincheng will be in our hands,
right? That's much more worthwhile than getting revenge on you!"

He Ming hadn't expected the other party to be so difficult to deal with; he was completely at a loss.

"Now, are you going to obediently come over or abandon this woman and run away? I'll give you ten seconds to consider!"

As Fu spoke, the knife in his hand began to slice down Xia Jingmei's slender, white neck,
the sharp tip piercing the thin, sheer nightgown, then gently pulling it down. With a soft

"whoosh,"

Xia Jingmei's nightgown ripped open, completely exposing her snow-white breasts. Her
two high, firm breasts, encased in purple lace lingerie, appeared exceptionally perky, forming a
deep, unfathomable cleavage. Her delicate, white skin glistened under the light, a beauty that seemed almost dreamlike.

The surrounding crowd watched, two men noticeably swallowing hard.

"Xiaoming, don't worry about me, let's go!"

Xia Jingmei tried to cover herself, but her hands were firmly held by the man surnamed Fu. She knew what He Ming would face if he came
now , so she shouted.

Seeing that his beautiful foster mother wasn't even thinking of him, He Ming was genuinely moved.
The situation left him no time to consider anything else, so he could only obediently move forward.

Just then, the man surnamed Fu gave a signal to one of his lackeys.

The man immediately smirked and approached, sparks flying from the stun baton in his hand. Without the slightest mercy or
hesitation, he slammed it into He Ming's abdomen.

He Ming felt a jolt of numbness throughout his body, his limbs completely out of control, and he collapsed limply to the ground. His
mind began to fog up, and he struggled to maintain a sliver of consciousness, barely managing to open his eyes a crack.

"Haha! Keep an eye on her!"

Fu Feng laughed maniacally, shoving Xia Jingmei in his arms to an accomplice beside him. Then, he snarled as he walked towards He Ming,
raising his foot and kicking him hard, shouting, "If it weren't for you, you bastard, how could Yu Wen and I have ended up
like this? Die!"

He Ming was completely numb and unable to fight back, but fortunately, he didn't feel much pain. He only
felt a tightness in his chest, which actually helped clear his mind a little.

"Is this the end for good?"

Since the matter with Lan Yuli had come to a close, He Ming had sent Fu Feng to follow Mei Gui again. Now,
all hope was lost. He felt resentful, not for himself—as an orphan, he was
already content to die for the two years of blissful life he had enjoyed. But he wondered what kind of
torture .

"Don't hit him! Don't hit him! Please!"

Xia Jingmei finally cried, struggling desperately, but was held tightly.

Fu Feng kicked He Ming violently for a while until He Ming's face was bruised and swollen, then stopped, panting heavily. He turned
to Xia Jingmei and sneered, "Sorry, Director Xia, we had no grudges against each other. It's all your fault, my good son!"

"Pah!"

Xia Jingmei was clearly disgusted by Fu's hypocrisy. Her beautiful eyes glared at him, wishing she could
tear the man who had beaten her adopted son apart.

"Drag her inside, hehe!"

The man surnamed Fu didn't waste any more words, then grinned wickedly and ordered his men.

He Ming's consciousness began to blur; although he struggled desperately, he couldn't resist the increasingly strong
drowsiness .

Just then, the lights in the hallway and room suddenly went out, plunging the surroundings
into complete darkness.

"What's going on?"

the man surnamed Fu asked疑惑地.

"Ah!"

Just then, a man screamed in pain. Due to the sudden change in light, those
around couldn't adjust and couldn't see anything.

He Ming, however, managed to avoid this by blinking. The hallway wasn't truly pitch black; he
vaguely saw a strange figure moving among Fu's men, striking with fists and feet, his movements agile and
clearly trained.

Watching this unfamiliar savior quickly subdue the man holding Xia Jingmei hostage, He Ming felt relieved. With
that man's skills, he had escaped death tonight. As he calmed down, drowsiness overcame him, and he finally succumbed and
lost consciousness.

He slept for an unknown amount of time. When he opened his eyes again, all he saw was a white ceiling, and
a faint smell of medicine filled his nostrils. He struggled to turn his head and realized he had
been taken to the hospital without his knowledge. Beside him lay a woman—a woman he knew very well—Xia Jingmei.

Seeing his adoptive mother sleeping so peacefully, He Ming finally breathed a sigh of relief, his heart filled with deep
doubt . Who had saved him last night?

Chapter 326 The Last Hope

Xia Jingmei soon woke up. She wearily rubbed her slightly sore eyes and suddenly
noticed her adopted son staring at her quietly. Instantly, she became overjoyed, her face beaming like a little girl's. She exclaimed, "Xiao
Ming, you're awake! Are you alright? Does it still hurt anywhere?"

He Ming didn't want the most important woman in his life to worry, so he smiled and shook his head, his expression
gentle and calm, even showing a hint of doting affection.

"That's good, that's good!"

Xia Jingmei, still a little sleepy, gently brushed her long, flowing hair behind her high, firm breasts, revealing her
delicate, snow-white neck. A delicate necklace adorned her neck, sparkling and translucent, instantly making her look incredibly alluring. She quickly regained her senses and
asked with concern, "Are you hungry? I'll go buy you breakfast!"

"Wait, Aunt Xia!"

He Ming hadn't woken Xia Jingmei because she was resting, but the doubts in his heart were getting hard to suppress, and he
really had to get them out.

Xia Jingmei stopped
in her tracks, her beautiful, large eyes gazing dreamily at her adopted son. She was already tall, and now, with age, her curves had become incredibly alluring. Dressed casually in a black uniform skirt, her
long, straight legs encased in black stockings made her look like a radiant supermodel.

"What happened after I passed out last night? Are you alright?"

He Ming was somewhat captivated by Xia Jingmei's charm, and straightened his expression slightly before speaking.

"Well, I don't know why, but someone suddenly appeared and defeated all those bad guys!"

Xia Jingmei said, a hint of confusion flashing in her clear black and white eyes.

"Do you know who he is?"

He Ming continued to ask, this unexpected hero was too mysterious.

"I don't know him, but he said you know him, he's from the Budong Group!"

Xia Jingmei said with doubt, then suddenly realized, "Right, he told you to go to the 'Ocean World' pet shop in
Pet !"

He Ming pondered for a moment. If it was the Budong Group, then saving him would make sense, but he
didn't have a deep relationship with the people from "Tianchong," and he didn't know why this guy was coming to his door.

"Are you alright? If you're not feeling well, we can go again another day!"

Xia Jingmei said with some concern.

"It's nothing!"

He Ming moved his body to check himself. Some parts still ached, but it wasn't severe. After all, the person
had saved his life last night, so he figured he should still keep his appointment.

At 11 PM, He Ming arrived at the pet shop on time. Tian Chong's men had nowhere to go in Jiangzhou,
so this guy choosing this spot to get injured was probably for his own safety.

The owner came over to negotiate, but when He Ming said he was looking for someone instead of patronizing the shop, he didn't show any displeasure and
directly invited him into the back room.

He Ming looked around; the man seemed like someone who used to do underground work. He quickly entered a small
room . A curtain blocked most of the light, and although it was broad daylight, the lights were on, but the light was weak, making it still dim.

In the middle of the room was a low table with a table on it. A
man around thirty years old sat on a stool to one side, his long hair covering his forehead, wearing large sunglasses, making it impossible to see his face.

He Ming hesitated before sitting down, then looked at the man opposite him. This strange atmosphere made him feel
uneasy.

The man removed his sunglasses, revealing a smile that dispelled the tense atmosphere. He said gently,
"Chen Ming, you're here!"

Upon first glance, He Ming felt a sense of familiarity. After a moment's thought, he realized this man seemed to be a director at the Budong Group
? He had encountered this guy several times in public with Ling Hao, and he seemed to be highly regarded.

"You must be Brother Zhou? Long time no see!"

He Ming vaguely remembered that this guy's name was Zhou Zhiyun.

"Yes, I didn't expect you to remember me!"

Zhou Zhiyun smiled slightly and poured He Ming a teacup.

He Ming was somewhat flattered. The previous times they met, this guy was always stern and unsmiling; that was probably the typical style of people in the underworld
. He hadn't expected him to be so respectful now. Was it because of his status as Ling Hao's future son-in-law
?

"Thank you so much for last night!"

He Ming's words came from the bottom of his heart, not because the man had saved his life, but because he had protected
Xia Jingmei.

"It's nothing, we're all on the same side!"

Zhou Zhiyun shook his head indifferently.

"By the way, how did you know they would attack my house last night?"

Although the question was a bit abrupt, He Ming couldn't suppress his curiosity.

"Since you asked, I'll explain why I'm here today!"

Zhou Zhiyun took a sip of tea to moisten his mouth before explaining in detail.

It turned out that in the provincial capital, the rivalry between the Ling and Fu families was like that between the Chen and Lü families in Jiangzhou—a feud that had lasted for generations.
They were both wary of each other, desperately collecting dirt on the other, hoping to one day completely crush
them . Even if the other wanted to take action, having something to protect themselves would be much safer.

This time, Ling Hao's incident was most likely the work of the Fu family, because a member of their family had recently
been promoted and was now firmly suppressing the Ling family in the officialdom.

Because the secret was kept well in advance and the action was swift, the Ling family barely had time to react before suffering a severe blow.
Not only in Jiangzhou, but also in the provincial capital, most of the family members were under surveillance. The Fu family seemed to want to use
swift and decisive measures to ensure that the Ling family had no chance of recovery.

Of course, the Fu family's method worked. Ling Hao was detained, and now they are operating in secret, not allowing
anyone outside to see him. Within the entire Ling family, only the old man Ling Hao possesses something that can be used to retaliate against the Fu family.

"The fact that the chairman has a major weakness of the Fu family is something only two people know. Miss Ling Zhi is
one of them, but she only knows this much; she doesn't know the specifics.
After this incident, everyone was busy trying to find a solution, and I learned about it from her,"

Zhou Zhiyun said solemnly, then glanced at He Ming. "This time, the Fu family only imprisoned
the chairman , which can only mean that they also know this inside story. This means..."

Zhou Zhiyun looked at He Ming gravely, "There's a mole within the chairman's inner circle, possibly even his closest confidant!"

"You don't suspect me, do you?"

He Ming was stunned. Even Ling Zhi didn't know; how could he possibly know? And wouldn't this guy consider whether
he had any motive for doing so?

"Until the truth comes out, anyone who gets close to the chairman is a suspect. That
's why I appeared so timely last night. Actually, I've been following you for several days!"

Zhou Zhiyun smiled calmly, his gaze sharp, but then softened. "However,
seeing how that guy surnamed Fu treated you last night, your suspicions are basically cleared!"

He Ming secretly wiped away a cold sweat. Even a centipede with a hundred legs doesn't die easily; if he couldn't clear his name
, his future would be difficult.

"Of course, I was following you on Miss Ling Zhi's orders. Finding the mole was only one purpose; the most important
thing was to find what could severely damage the Fu family. She told me to ask you if you know what it is and
where it's hidden! Of course, you can
call !"

Zhou Zhiyun added, knowing full well that it was impossible for He
Ming .

"I don't know!"

He Ming honestly shook his head; he didn't want to get involved.

"Alright, if you have any clues, please provide them promptly. This is the last hope to save the chairman.
Also, she asked me to tell you that the Fu family, to prevent others from knowing about that thing, will definitely be secretly
monitoring those who have been close to the chairman. So be careful!"

Zhou Zhiyun's words made He Ming's heart tighten once again.

Chapter 327 A desperate gamble (Part 1)

That night, a group of people surnamed Fu came to attack, but were thoroughly beaten by Zhou Zhiyun. This
act of trespassing on a prestigious residence constituted the crime of "illegal intrusion into a residence." However, He Ming did not blame Zhou Zhiyun for letting
these guys go. Because with the power of that Fu guy, even if they were locked up, it would probably just be a "one-day trip to prison,"
and they would come out unharmed the next day.

He Ming did not imagine that the guy would give up after one setback. To be on the safe side, he quickly recalled Fu Feng
again. Although Mei Gui seemed to be content with the status quo, he could not be careless. He also assigned
one of his brothers to keep an eye on her. Of course, anyone could do the job of tracking such an ordinary woman.

He Ming weighed the current situation. Remaining passively defensive wasn't the best strategy; even the most meticulous plans
can have flaws. He needed to find a way to counterattack. Only by completely crushing the Fu family could he live in peace.

Given the current situation, the fastest way to achieve his goal was to find leverage Ling Hao held against the Fu family.
The problem was that the old man was already in custody, and the Fu family was secretly causing trouble, preventing anyone from visiting him in prison—this
was problematic.

After much deliberation, he gritted his teeth and decided to pass the buck to one person, a woman: Li Suya, the current deputy mayor
of Jiangzhou .

As the third-highest-ranking official in Jiangzhou, Li Suya should have no problem resolving this issue;
the biggest challenge was explaining it to her superiors afterwards.

Of course, this was irrelevant to He Ming. He only needed evidence. He
trusted .

He Ming quickly contacted Li Suya. Of course, the woman wouldn't
agree After much coercion, she reluctantly agreed, promising to find a way for He Ming
to meet with Ling Hao.

He Ming thought things had taken a turn for the better, but the news Li Suya brought next almost made him
faint . It turned out that Ling Hao had been hastily escorted to the provincial capital the very night of his arrest and had been
secretly executed ten days earlier.

"A powerful figure, gone just like that!"

He Ming couldn't help but sigh with disappointment, yet inexplicably felt a sense of relief. This old man had
always been like a mountain weighing on his head, and now that it had collapsed, he felt instantly relieved.

"The Fu family is indeed not simple!"

After his initial shock, He Ming's mood turned somber. The Fu family knew that keeping Ling Hao alive would ultimately be a problem, so they simply
eliminated him completely. Their ruthlessness and decisiveness made them a formidable opponent.

This shortcut was completely cut off. Currently, He Ming couldn't afford to offend the Fu family in either the legitimate or underworld circles. To have any chance of winning,
he needed to unite with other forces as much as possible, and the only one he could think of was the Ling family. Only they
would be so single-minded in their pursuit of the Fu family.

"It's a pity that Ling Zhi doesn't know about this yet. What a tragedy!"

He Ming thought for a moment, but decided not to tell her. The Fu family, for the sake of caution, wouldn't give up so
easily . Now was the time to fight back desperately; he couldn't afford to lose his composure.

He Ming was racking his brains for a solution when he suddenly received a call from Ling Zhi. She said she had found
what Ling Hao had and was preparing to retaliate against the Fu family. Because of her sensitive position, she was in the eye of the storm.
For safety, she would have Zhou Zhiyun bring the item to Jiangzhou first, and
He Ming would receive it. He would then be in charge of keeping it.

He Ming wasn't stupid. Although this was good news, the item was definitely a hot potato. Whoever
touched it would face annihilation.

However, He Ming obviously couldn't refuse. He couldn't be a coward at this time unless he completely severed
ties with the Ling family, which would mean the end for him and Ling Zhi.

"Damn it, I'm taking the gamble!"

He Ming gritted his teeth. He couldn't stay out of it anyway, and this way he could win the beauty's favor—
why ?

But just the next day, Ling Zhi called urgently, saying that Zhou Zhiyun, whom she had been in contact with,
hadn't responded, and the crucial item was still in that kid's hands.

"Damn, could this kid be a traitor?"

He Ming guessed. If so, they were completely finished; the Fu family would be unstoppable. However, judging from
Ling Zhi's tone, this was unlikely. This kid had a tragic past; he was personally brought into the Budong Group by Ling Hao,
was highly valued, and had received countless benefits. He wouldn't betray them.

While the two were still wondering, on the evening of the third day, Ling Zhi received an unexpected call. It was from someone surnamed Fu, saying that Zhou Zhiyun was in his hands, and if they wanted the kid to live, they had to go to Xifeng Town
with He Ming . "Damn it!" He Ming couldn't help but curse. He was so close to turning the tables, but things went wrong at this crucial moment. He was furious; it was all Ling Zhi's fault for being such a stupid woman. She definitely hadn't kept it a secret. "There are only two people who know about this, all of them are from the Ling family!" Ling Zhi explained weakly, feeling somewhat ashamed that she had dragged He Ming into it as well. "Forget it, let's go rescue Zhou Zhiyun first. Maybe we can get some evidence!" He Ming wasn't one to give up easily; this time, he was determined to fight back. Xifeng Town was located between the provincial capital and Jiangzhou, about a half-day drive away. He Ming lied to Xia Jingmei beforehand and took leave from school. Early in the morning, he arrived at the factories in the suburbs, ordered one of the factories to shut down, and had most of the workers pack their gear. Then, using the two vans and one large truck from the factory, they all headed to Xifeng Town. A total of forty or fifty people set off in a grand procession. Of course, such a large commotion, if left undisguised, would inevitably cause trouble along the way. Therefore, the truck was covered with cloth , leaving the dozens of people inside like pigs in a cage. This was naturally an unpleasant experience, but no one complained. This demonstrates their extraordinary willpower; after all, they were seasoned veterans. Soon, the group arrived at their destination. Since it wasn't far from Jiangzhou, many people there were familiar with the area.

No guides were needed. To avoid any mishaps, the three vehicles of people dispersed in three separate groups, and would gradually
regroup later.

He Ming waited for Ling Zhi, wanting to see what preparations this woman had made, so he could assess their own strength and
then devise a plan.

Soon, the two met up. He Ming looked around at the woman, then furtively searched her surroundings.

"What are you looking at?"

Ling Zhi couldn't help but wonder. The past two months of turmoil had made her much more composed. A white
coat concealed her stunning figure, and long bangs covered her beautiful face, hiding a hint of fiery passion. Neither her attire
nor her demeanor was as dazzling as before.

"How many people did you bring?"

He Ming, finding no clues, asked directly.

"I'm coming alone!"

Ling Zhi swept her bangs aside with a charming smile, saying with a helpless bitter smile, "You know my identity.
I bet there are more than one person secretly monitoring me. Even if I bring more people, it won't make a difference!"

"Alright!"

He Ming gave up, looking at the woman's somewhat haggard appearance, he couldn't help but feel sorry for her. If she knew that her
father had passed away, he wondered if she would still be so motivated.

However, there was one question he couldn't understand. Logically speaking, the man surnamed Fu was currently in the upper hand, and if he wanted to deal with
someone, he should have called on the most capable person in the Ling family. Why did he specifically name this woman? Did the Ling family have no one left?

Soon, the man surnamed Fu called, asking the two to meet at an abandoned factory in the suburbs.

"Another abandoned factory!"

He Ming couldn't help but mutter under his breath. Just like in the TV dramas, abandoned factories had become
essential locations for murder and robbery.

Chapter 328 A Desperate Struggle (Part Two)

With only two hours left before the appointment, He Ming knew he needed to devise a plan. Otherwise,
rushing off blindly would be tantamount to "going to his death," as his encounter with Mei Gui was still fresh in his mind.

However, before that, He Ming had to figure out one thing: were there any
spies ?

Ling Zhi was right; she was in the eye of the storm, and the Fu family couldn't let her go unchecked. They would definitely
have people following her constantly, and they might be nearby. If he didn't find them, even the most brilliant plan would be useless, and he
would . But then again, identifying and finding someone who was following him in this sea of people was incredibly
difficult, a real headache.

"Didn't you think of making a backup when you got the evidence? Otherwise, how did you end up in such a passive
position !"

He Ming became increasingly angry as he thought about it, and couldn't help but complain.

"You make it sound so easy. If it's just files and audio recordings, backing them up is simple, but
what ? You want me to clone it?"

Ling Zhi was already in a bad mood, and this harsh rebuke only made her eyebrows furrow in protest.

He Ming was speechless, wondering to himself, "Does this so-called evidence involve several pieces?" He didn't understand that
files and audio recordings often only serve as corroborating evidence in law. To secure a conviction, a chain of evidence must
be formed , and physical evidence is indispensable. Otherwise, let alone dealing with a behemoth like the Fu family, even
bringing down an ordinary person would be difficult.

He Ming had a headache. Suddenly, he thought of someone: Fu Feng. This guy was elusive, always
around him. Although he hadn't specifically informed him of his arrival in this town, a bodyguard should at least be prepared to protect his employer
at all times . If he were still in Jiangzhou, he might as well not have this bodyguard!

Thinking of Fu Feng around, and considering the old man's exceptional tracking and counter-tracking abilities, finding the Fu family
's informants shouldn't be a problem.

Thinking of this, He Ming immediately called Fu Feng. The appointed time was fast approaching, and any
further delay would leave no time to arrange any plans.

Fu Feng didn't disappoint him; he had indeed arrived in the town.

He Ming quickly assigned the task, instructing him to find all the informants. He soon received a reply:
there was indeed someone lurking suspiciously following them.

"Are you sure it's just him?"

He Ming asked, somewhat uneasy.

"Absolutely. Not many people can escape my notice!"

Fu Feng replied confidently.

He Ming considered the situation. Even if he eliminated the informant surnamed Fu, his chances of success wouldn't be high. As the saying goes, "Know yourself and
know your enemy, and you will win every battle." Why not make good use of this lurking informant? He must know something about
Fu's plans.

Thinking this, He Ming naturally didn't dare to personally and openly deal with the informant, so he gave the task to
Fu Feng, and of course, just in case, he also assigned two extra men to him.

Fu Feng quickly settled things, bringing the boy who had been secretly following them to
the car his brothers had driven from Jiangzhou.

He Ming, as if seeing the light of victory, smiled and led Mei Gui back to the parking lot,
getting inside and closing the door behind them.

"Didn't you say you were police officers? Show me your identification!"

The boy who had been following them was about twenty-seven or twenty-eight years old, looking like a monkey, short and thin. Although his face showed panic due to
anxiety , his eyes kept darting around, clearly the kind of person who was extremely cunning.

Although He Ming deliberately kept a cold face, he couldn't help but chuckle. It seemed that Fu Feng was indeed very experienced,
most likely impersonating a public official to subdue the boy. Because he didn't know the truth and the incident happened
so suddenly , he only realized what was happening now.

"Identity my ass!"

He Ming knew that dealing with this kind of person with words alone wouldn't work, and would probably only lead to him getting himself into trouble, so he started slapping him
across the face.

"Ah!"

The man screamed repeatedly, trying to cover himself, but was restrained by He Ming's two men.

"Tell me, where is that guy surnamed Fu now?"

He Ming got down to business.

"Which guy surnamed Fu? I don't know him, you must have made a mistake!"

The man immediately feigned innocence.

"Damn!"

He Ming kicked him, then ordered his men to search the man's body, quickly finding his phone.

"Who is this Boss Fu listed in the call log?"

He Ming's eyes flashed with a fierce light as he stared intently at the man.

"Oh, one of my superiors, probably shares the same surname as the person you're talking about!"

The man paused slightly, then explained calmly.

"You damn fool, still not being honest!"

The henchmen on either side couldn't take it anymore and slapped him several more times.

"Help! Even if you really are police, you can't just use the death penalty arbitrarily! I'm going to sue you for assault!"

The man actually roared without any restraint.

He Ming ignored him, carefully searched through his phone book, and then found a
number saved as "Mom," which he handed to the man, saying, "This is your mother, right?"

Before the man could answer, he said to one of the henchmen in the car, "
Where ?"

"It's from the provincial capital!"

Every gangster in the underworld is experienced, and one of the henchmen answered without even thinking.

"Wow, so close!"

He Ming feigned surprise, then his face turned cold as he ordered, "Call the brothers and find out
where the person using this number is. Cause some kind of accident!"

"No!"

The guy finally changed his expression and shouted to stop him.

"Then tell me quickly, where is Fu Feng now?"

He Ming impatiently slapped him again.

"I'll talk! I'll talk! They're at the Yingchun Hotel!"

the guy stammered.

"Hotel?"

He Ming pondered for a moment. There was still more than an hour until the agreed time, so it seemed that this Fu guy hadn't
made any .

"What if I take the initiative now?"

He Ming considered this, but quickly dismissed it. Although catching him off guard would greatly increase the chances of success,
how could he dare to act so openly in this bustling city? He'd probably be mistaken for a terrorist and shot dead on the spot.

He Ming paused for a moment, then suddenly had an idea. He then demanded, "
Which abandoned factory is the meeting place that 'Happiness' requested tonight?"

"It's the old 'Hey Haha' food factory!"

the guy hurriedly replied, then cautiously looked around, afraid of being hit again if he wasn't careful.

"Hey Haha?"

He Ming was a little embarrassed, secretly sighing at how many opportunistic people there were in this world. He then looked at his brothers with a questioning
gaze , but all of them shook their heads.

"Fine, take me there now!"

He Ming was giving the order when his phone rang. He picked it up and saw
that it was Fu calling.

"You know what to say, right?"

He Ming glanced at him coldly and handed the phone over.

The car was quiet, and the voice on the phone was clearly audible. Fu's question was simple: he was asking about He
Ming's whereabouts.

"Oh, they're eating at a restaurant!"

"Oh, just the two of them!"

...

That guy was smart enough to completely hide He Ming's situation. Looking at the few fierce-looking guys in the car,
even if he had the guts of a lion, he probably wouldn't dare to play any more tricks.

"You're a good kid!"

As soon as he hung up the phone, He Ming immediately snatched the phone, opened the car door, and asked him to take his group
to the abandoned factory that the man surnamed Fu had chosen. He planned to set up an ambush in advance and then suddenly rush out to strike first.

"That guy will never dream that I'll be the one setting things up before him!"

He Ming thought smugly, a lewd smile on his face.

Chapter 329 A desperate gamble (Part 3)

"Did you ask him about the evidence?"

Ling Zhi asked impatiently as soon as He Ming got out of the car.

"No, do you think a mere errand boy would know? Besides, it's been two or three days already. Even if that guy surnamed Fu
is stupid, he wouldn't carry it with him, would he?"

He Ming analyzed logically. In fact, his primary goal wasn't the so-called evidence, but
the guy surnamed Fu. If he caught him, wouldn't he be able to find clues? Even if they couldn't find him,
having a hostage would be a bargaining chip for a counterattack.

"How would you know if you didn't ask?"

Ling Zhi snorted and glared at He Ming.

"Fine, ask away! Ask away!"

He Ming begged for mercy, bowing and yielding. He was somewhat helpless dealing with this kind of foolish woman.

Previously, He Ming and his group had parked in a very secluded spot to avoid detection. Ling Zhi glanced around and,
finding no suspicious people, turned to her "informant" and asked, "That guy surnamed Fu arrested someone a couple of days ago.
He must have gotten something from him. Is he still carrying it with him?"

The man didn't answer, only looking at Ling Zhi indifferently, with a hint of disdain.
He clearly didn't care about such a delicate woman and felt he didn't need to obey her.

"Speak!"

Ling Zhi's eyebrows shot up instantly, her expression changing drastically. She raised her hand and slapped the man across the face,
making a crisp sound.

He Ming was stunned, and the brothers around him gaped, their eyes practically exploding with shock. They never expected
such a beautiful and elegant woman to do something so brutal.

"You bitch!"

The guy was stunned by the slap, standing there for a long time before he reacted. By then,
a handprint of his accomplice was already visible on his left cheek. Being hit by a woman had severely damaged his dignity.
He cursed raised his fist to fight back.

"Want to die?"

How could He Ming stand by and watch someone touch his woman? He reacted quickly, instantly stepping
between , staring intently at the guy with a fierce glint in his eyes. If this guy weren't still useful, he would never have
tolerated it.

Looking at the tall and strong He Ming, and remembering the suffering he had just endured, the guy instantly lost his temper and slumped down, lowering
his fist.

"Answer her question!"

He Ming immediately snapped.

"Boss Fu did indeed arrest a man, and he's currently locked up in the hotel I mentioned, but
I really don't know what you're talking about!"

The "informant" took a deep breath and answered honestly.

"You're still not being honest?"

Ling Zhi was still unwilling to give up, her beautiful eyes wide open, like a cat that had been provoked. Although she was still cute, no one dared
to hit her again.

"I'm telling the truth, there's nothing I can do if you don't believe me!"

the informant said somewhat dejectedly, clearly having already thrown the bait.

"Forget it, he can't possibly know!"

Seeing that Ling Zhi was still not willing to give up, He Ming advised her, then turned to ask, "
Do you have a photo of that guy surnamed Fu on your phone?"

"Yes! Why?"

the informant replied somewhat bewildered.

"Stop talking nonsense, find it!"

He Ming took the photo, then took out his phone and called Fu Feng, sending him the photo of the guy surnamed Fu and
instructing him to go to the so-called "Welcoming Spring" Hotel to investigate and verify whether what this guy was saying was true
. How could one easily believe someone without checking the facts?

Soon Fu Feng sent back a message, confirming that the situation was indeed as the informant had described; the guy surnamed Fu was indeed inside.
He Ming was relieved and ordered the guy to take him to the meeting place.

"Anyway, we don't have to follow that guy surnamed Fu's rules, so you might as well not go!"

He Ming hesitated for a moment, then suggested very sincerely. It was certain that this woman wouldn't be of any help, and worse, she
would be a burden.

"How can I stand idly by at a time like this? There are so many of you; if we're going to win, it won't affect anything because of
me !"

Ling Zhi, of course, understood He Ming's thoughts and stubbornly replied.

He Ming had no choice but to gather his brothers, and then
they drove off in a swarm to the suburbs. By this time, it was getting dark, which provided cover. Along the way, that guy surnamed Fu called a few times, but
all the times ended without incident.

Fu had chosen an abandoned factory; dilapidated bungalows stood on both sides, with a small open space in the middle,
where some discarded steel equipment was placed.

He Ming looked around; the terrain was perfect for concealment. To avoid any unforeseen complications, he quickly ordered his men
to hide in the factory buildings on either side. He then told a few men to drive the car out, while he and
Ling Zhi hid to the side, with the informant watching them constantly. He was still worried.

To ensure everything went smoothly, the group of forty or fifty men remained motionless,
like , almost completely silent. For over an hour, they heard
groans of pain from their bodies once or twice.

"Remember, follow my orders!"

He Ming whispered to those around him as time was running out.

"Vroom..."

The roar of the car engine finally began. He Ming stopped the men who were about to get up and observe, and
quietly peeked out. He saw two or three vans drive into the factory. There was no moon tonight, only the dim starlight
barely resisting the boundless darkness; it wasn't pitch black.

Soon, several vans pulled up in the factory, and nearly twenty people got out, each
carrying a weapon. A few fireworks flickered in the night.

Chapter 330 A desperate gamble (Part 4)

"This place is so small, and these vans are getting in the way. Move them!"

He Ming and his group held their breath, and soon they heard a complaint from the group, from the man surnamed Fu.

"Damn it, why is it so dark!"

He complained again, then shouted, "Xiao Jun, I told you to scout the area a couple of days ago.
Do you know where the lights are? Turn them on!"

"Brother Fu, this factory has been abandoned for a long time. It seems there's no power!"

Xiao Jun replied.

"Damn it, what were you doing before you knew there was no power? Are you guys just freeloaders?!"

Fu was furious. His arrogance was nothing like someone doing illegal business. If the people around heard him,
they might think some leader had come to inspect the place.

"I'll go get it right now! I'll go get it right now!"

the scolded boy stammered.

"Get it my ass! There's no power! By the time you've fixed it, your mother will be calling you back to buy her a coffin
! I should have known better than to let those guys take the car!"

The man surnamed Fu cursed, almost cursing the boy's ancestors.
It was hard to believe that a highly educated person like him would be so vulgar; it was clear that he had
become somewhat arrogant lately.

"Then I'll go call it back!"

the boy named Xiao Jun quickly suggested.

"Call your auntie? That van isn't ours. We finally got those guys to agree to give us a
ride, and now the driver is long gone. We don't even know how to use a cell phone!"

the man surnamed Fu complained loudly.

"Go back to town and buy two flashlights, the big kind! What an idiot!"

After not getting a reply from his subordinate, the man surnamed Fu roared again.

The speaker meant no harm, but the listener took it to heart. He Ming remained silent, but something suddenly occurred to him. Although his
group had laid an ambush beforehand, allowing them to catch the enemy off guard, the enemy numbers were considerable, and a direct assault
wouldn't be an easy victory. What if they could take advantage of the darkness to do something?

Thinking this, a bold plan suddenly arose in his mind. If successful, they could
win this battle without bloodshed.

He Ming quietly waited for his opportunity. Because of the darkness, the group surnamed Fu wasn't
very active, scattering in twos and threes, chatting idly.

"Yangzi, come here!"

He Ming felt the time was ripe and called out in a low voice to one side. The slightly
noisy chatter of the group outside now served as cover for his own.

"What is it?"

Yangzi moved over quietly. In the darkness, their faces weren't visible, but his irregular breathing
revealed his nervousness.

"You and I will sneak into that group. Once they find some lighting equipment, we'll make our move.
You try to subdue that guy surnamed Fu, and I'll go rescue Zhou Zhiyun!"

He Ming whispered his plan.

Yang Zi watched He Ming quietly. In the darkness, his mouth was slightly open, as if he was
terrified by this suicidal plan. After all, there were twenty people involved, and once discovered, escape would be virtually impossible.

"Don't worry, there are so many of them, and the surroundings are so dark. Two
strangers won't be noticed at all,"

He Ming said confidently. He then took a knife from one of his men and handed it to Yang Zi,
saying, "Once you're in, try to get close to that guy surnamed Fu. When I yell 'Attack!', you
have to immediately subdue him. As long as you don't kill him, I don't care what methods you use! With these two tools, I think it should
n't be too difficult!"

"Okay!"

Yang Zi replied, displaying a "go-for-the-fly" attitude.

"Because if too many people go, we're afraid of being discovered, so I'm relying entirely on you!" He

Ming patted Yang Zi's shoulder sincerely and also took a stick from one of his men.

"Keep an eye on him, don't let the people outside see you! Remember, when I say 'Attack,
' don't come out yet. Wait until I say 'Everyone, attack together,' then you move, understand?"

He Ming carefully instructed the brothers around him. After telling Ling Zhi to stay put, he and Yang Zi
got up and looked for an opportunity to sneak in.

The two of them stealthily hid in the corner of the room. There were more people in front, about seven or eight, and it looked
a bit chaotic. This spot was perfect.

"Let's go!"

He Ming said in a low voice, then stood up and walked out openly. Yang Zi followed closely behind,
his weapons already hidden in his sleeves.

Just as He Ming had expected, the night was deep, and without being able to see their faces clearly, the group of people had no suspicion of the
two people who swaggered out. They all thought they were their brothers.

Having infiltrated, He Ming was already halfway there. He couldn't help but take a deep breath, beads of sweat appearing on his forehead
. He knew that if he were discovered, given his animosity with that man surnamed Fu,
he wouldn't be surprised if he were killed and his body disposed of.

To avoid any accidents, He Ming didn't dare get too close to the other party's people, simply keeping his distance with Yangzi,
while his eyes darted around, searching for the man surnamed Fu and Zhou Zhiyun.

"That's Zhou Zhiyun. When I say 'make a move,' you make your move, then take him hostage,
and then move closer together, understand?"

Although the night was dark, the man surnamed Fu kept shouting, which made He Ming's search
easier. He quickly found his target, and then whispered the instructions again. This matter couldn't afford to go wrong.

Seeing Yangzi brazenly circle around to Fu's side, He Ming also began searching for his target.
In the dim light, he strained his eyes and finally spotted Zhou Zhiyun, who was bound hand and foot and held down by
two men, crouching beside a pair of abandoned machines.

He Ming casually walked over and stood a good ten feet away, quietly waiting for his chance. He had
sent Yangzi to deal with him because Zhou Zhiyun was the focus of his vigilance tonight, and this place was relatively dangerous.

The two men sized each other up in the shadows. Although they couldn't see each other's eyes clearly, neither dared to move an inch, their mutual tension
evident .

After waiting for about ten minutes, He Ming suddenly saw a bright light shining from the direction of the factory gate—
two large flashlights. He knew the guy who bought the lighting tools had returned, and his heart tightened instantly.
