At the same time, in a hall in a certain building in Jiangnan Province, more than ten elders were gathered together.
The atmosphere here was extremely solemn.
Not long after, the elder presiding over the meeting spoke.
“Who is responsible for Yuan Jingfu’s death?”
“Also, we secretly dispatched Jiang Luozhen there as well. Who isresponsible for his death?”
This was Tang Ao!
He was ranked 189th on Huaxia’s grandmaster rankings, and was far more powerful than Yuan Jingfu!
Tang Ao’s question remained hanging in the air, and these few well-known grandmasters at the meeting with him did not even dare to breathe loudly.
“Are you all deaf? Could it be that no one was responsible for their deaths?”
An elder stood forth and said, “President Tang, there are indeed many suspicious points regarding this incident. 1 heard from the witnesses that Yuan Jingfu self-destructed as if he had gone berserk. The martial arts platform also shattered because of this.”
“Self-destructed?” Tang Ao waved his sleeve and slammed his palm on the solid wooden table.
“Yuan Jingfu has a bright future ahead of him. What reason would he have to self-destruct when facing a piece of trash? There was also Jiang Luozhen. He had been hiding the entire time, so why and how did he die?”
“It’s obvious that someone broke the rules of the martial arts arena and attacked them!”
Tang Ao put his hands behind his back and glanced at everyone present. His gaze stopped on three elders.
“Ma Wei Qi! Su Yuanxiu! Cui Zhen! The three of you will investigate Yuan Jingfu’s death!”
“Do not let any clues escape you. If you can’t find anything, then bring that kid called Ye Chen to me!
“In this matter, this kid definitely cannot escape the responsibility for their deaths! Even if the investigations yield no results, I will kill this brat!”
“Yes, President Tang!”
In the penthouse, Ye Chen and Sun Yi continued from where they left off. As last night’s vigorous activities were too intense, and it was Sun Yi’s first time, she was unable to walk properly today. Thus, she decided to take the day off and rest at home.
Ye Chen did not want Sun Yi to walk around too much, so after his morning activities, he decided to go to the supermarket to buy some ingredients for dinner later.
As soon as he arrived downstairs, his phone rang. It was Ying Qing.
“Ying Qing, thank you for your help yesterday.”
“Mr. Ye, I only did what I should,” Ying Qing quickly replied.
“By the way, why did you call me?”
“Mr. Ye, we would like to invite…”
Before he could finish, Ye Chen felt that it was going to be troublesome and rejected him directly.
“No, I’m busy buying groceries.”
Ying Qing, who was on the other end of the line, almost fell to the ground.
He even had the urge to smash his phone!
‘You’re a peerless expert! Why are you buying groceries like an ordinary family man?’
The image of Ye Chen carrying around a bag of vegetables leisurely formed a stark contrast with the powerful attacks he had seen in the martial arts arena that day.
Ying Qing’s mouth twitched.
“Mr. Ye, the invitation is by that person. He has something to see you about…” Ying Qing suppressed the emotions in his heart and probed.
“I’m not free. That’s all. If I don’t buy ingredients, there won’t be dinner later.”
Ye Chen then hung up without hesitation.
Ying Qing, who was sitting in the car, looked at Lei Shuwei and smiled bitterly, “Mr. Ye…”
Although Lei Shuwei was also a little speechless, he still opened the car door and said, “Experts are eccentric in their own way. It’s understandable. I’ll go and find him myself.”
Not long after, Ye Chen noticed a middle-aged man beside him. He glanced at him and stopped in his tracks.
“Since you’re here, why did you call me?”
Lei Shuwei smiled awkwardly. He felt somewhat helpless.
With his status, it had always been others who had to lower themselves to meet him and not the other way around.
However, when he thought of Ye Chen’s feats in the martial arts arena that day, he felt a chill run down his spine.
“So what do you want? Tell me, if I can help, I will,” Ye Chen said.
Lei Shuwei’s eyes lit up and he quickly said, “Mr. Ye, can I take you to a place? It won’t take up too much of Mr. Ye’s time? If you want to buy groceries, 1 can get someone to send the freshest ingredients upstairs.”
“Mr. Ye, don’t be in a hurry to reject me. I’m doing this for Mr. Ye’s own good. Going to that place will be beneficial to Mr. Ye!”
“Alright then.”
Ye Chen got into a red sedan that drove straight to a small airport where a camouflaged plane was parked.
“You want me to take a flight?” Ye Chen asked in surprise.
“Mr. Ye, it’ll be quick. It really won’t take too much time.”
Lei Shuwei broke out in cold sweat.
Ye Chen boarded the military aircraft, which took off immediately. After about half an hour, they reached their destination.
After disembarking, Lei Shuwei brought Ye Chen into another car and drove into the jungle. They only stopped after passing through many checkpoints.
“Mr. Ye, we’re here.”
The car stopped and Ye Chen arrived at what seemed to be a training ground.
Dozens of men with buzz cuts were fighting. It was not ordinary fighting either…
They were using ancient martial arts to spar with each other!
Every single fighter exuded a murderous aura, and their moves carried a trace of powerful energy!
“Why did you bring me here?” Ye Chen asked.
Lei Shuwei clenched his fists and said seriously, “Mr. Ye, 1 hope you can join Dragon Soul!”
“Impossible.” Ye Chen refused decisively and turned around to leave.
“Mr. Ye, I’m not asking you to join Dragon Soul as a member. 1 hope you can be its Chief Instructor,” Lei Shuwei said..
