Chapter 46: What??:
For top-tier families, criminal organizations were like rats in the gutter.
Destroying them was just a matter of a word.
In one night, the Tianlang Gang, which had a significant reputation in Hai City's underworld, was gone. Those who had been eyeing Tianlang Gang’s power were now curled up quietly, not daring to make a move.
It happened so fast!
Before many could react, the Tianlang Gang was obliterated. While they didn’t know who Tianlang Gang had offended, they knew better than to expose themselves and risk being wiped out.
At that moment, Jiang Cang's arm was crippled, and a gun was pointed at his head.
“Our boss wants to see you! Move!”
Jiang Cang wasn’t foolish. Having raised the Tianlang Gang steadily, he had a good head on his shoulders. He immediately knew who their boss was referring to. What he didn’t understand was why his leader had set him up.
If Long Tian wanted to attack the Zhao family’s heir, he could have done it himself. Why use the Tianlang Gang’s people? Long Tian must have known this would provoke Zhao’s revenge.
“Let’s go!”
Seeing Jiang Cang’s silence, they didn’t waste time. They lifted him and took him away.
...
Zhao Shen had been waiting for a while at an abandoned warehouse. After all, handling such matters couldn’t be done in the open.
“You’re Jiang Cang, the leader of the Tianlang Gang, right?”
Zhao Shen’s expression and tone didn’t change much as he looked at the captured Jiang Cang. This wasn’t the first time Zhao Shen had handled such matters personally.
“Allow me to introduce myself, I'm Zhao Shen, from Hai City’s Zhao Group.”
Even though Jiang Cang had prepared himself, hearing it directly still made his expression complex. Why had his leader set him up?
“It seems you know why I brought you here.”
Zhao Shen gestured to a subordinate, who quickly brought out a crowbar. Zhao Shen weighed it in his hands.
“It’s been a long time since I’ve done this myself.”
After Zhao Shen became famous, he rarely handled these matters personally, leaving them to his subordinates. But thinking of his son, who was barely clinging to life, ignited an unquenchable fire within him.
“Crack!”
Jiang Cang’s already crippled arm was now joined by his other arm, equally ruined.
“Ahhh!”
The intense pain made Jiang Cang scream. Only then Zhao Shen did feel a bit of his anger dissipate.
“I’m getting old.”
Just one strike had tired him out, a reminder of his age. He tossed the crowbar aside and focused on Jiang Cang again.
“Tell me, who ordered your Tianlang Sect to attack my son?”
“I...”
Despite being set up, Jiang Cang’s loyalty to Long Tian, influenced by the protagonist’s aura, was unshaken.
Seeing his hesitation, Zhao Shen didn’t mind.
“Make him talk within an hour,” Zhao Shen ordered.
“Yes, Master!”
In the end, Zhao Shen got the name Long Tian and learned he had fled.
The culprit who harmed his son want to escape?
Zhao Shen ordered his men to search all of Hai City and bring Long Tian back at the first sign.

The next morning, Ye Liuyun stepped out from his room, yawning and looking lazy.
[Wow, Qu Yingmeng is truly like a temptress!]
[I can’t handle it! I can’t handle it!]
[If not for Six Libraries of Immortality, I’d be drained!]
But thanks to his martial arts, Ye Liuyun felt confident. Entering the living room, he saw the tired Zhao Shen, who had just returned and was resting on the sofa.
[Master works hard, I slack off!]
[Master stays up, I sleep!]
It felt like their roles had been reversed. Ye Liuyun cleared his throat and walked over.
“Master, did you catch the culprit who hurt the young master?”
“Mm.”
Seeing Ye Liuyun, Zhao Shen simply nodded.
“Sit down.”
He gestured for Ye Liuyun to sit, indicating he didn’t need to stand during the ceremony.
“The Tianlang Gang was just a pawn. The real culprit won’t escape as long as he’s still in Hai City.”
Zhao Shen’s confidence was evident. Ye Liuyun nodded knowingly.
[Looks like Zhao Shen knows it was Long Tian who attacked his foolish son!]
[Too bad, Zhao Shen will never avenge this!]
[Long Tian’s mercenary team is full of elite experts!]
Ye Liuyun knew this but wouldn’t interfere with Zhao Shen’s revenge plans.
“Liuyun!”
Zhao Shen had been thinking about Zhao Group’s future. With his only heir gone and himself aging, he couldn’t possibly hand the Zhao Group to Qu Yingmeng.
“I’m getting old. This world belongs to the young.”
[Why is he getting sentimental?]
Ye Liuyun raised an eyebrow but kept a serious face.
“Master, you’re still strong. You can do anything!”
“Hahaha!”
Zhao Shen laughed. If he wasn’t suffering from an illness, he might have had another child. But he hadn’t even touched Qu Yingmeng.
“Liuyun! I’ve always seen potential in you. It’s unfair to keep you as a driver for Qu Yingmeng. Soon, get familiar with the company and start as a vice president!”
[What?! Vice president? Me? In the company?]
[Wow!]
Ye Liuyun was stunned.
On the other side, Qu Yingmeng, who had also woken up, was surprised by Ye Liuyun’s thoughts.
