Mo Ming came out from Mourning Lion and drove directly back to the resort. He needed some rest; after all, he wasn't a god, and staying up all night had drained his energy. He needed to catch up on sleep. Lying in bed, he fell asleep shortly after.
When he woke up again, it was already nighttime. Mo Ming came out of his room and wandered around, just in time to bump into Liufeng.
"Boss, there's someone claiming to be Huang Zifeng who wants to see you," Liufeng said.
"Oh? Huang Zifeng managed to find this place; the intelligence network of Dragon Group is quite impressive. Let's go meet this leader of Dragon Group and see what brings him here," Mo Ming replied, slightly surprised but then smiled and followed Liufeng to meet Huang Feng.
Huang Feng was arranged by Liufeng in a room, sitting on the sofa sipping red wine. When he saw Mo Ming and Liufeng approaching, a smile immediately spread across his face. He stood up and said, "Shura, this 82 vintage red wine is really good. Thanks to you, I've finally had my fill. It seems I should drop by more often."
"Director Huang really enjoys joking around. With your status as a big star, getting wine shouldn't be a problem. Of course, if you want red wine, you're always welcome to come find me; I guarantee you'll have a great time," Mo Ming introduced. "Director Huang, this is my good brother, Liufeng. You probably have some information about him as well."
"The famous Hunter; how could I not know you? I'm Huang Feng, nice to meet you," Huang Feng extended his hand for a handshake with Liufeng.
Liufeng smiled back and said, "If the leader of Huaxia Dragon Team knows me, should I feel honored?"
"Hahaha... alright then, no need to tease me. Compared to you two, I'm just a worker; you are the bosses. Can we sit down and have a good chat?" Huang Feng laughed heartily.
"Of course, take a seat, worker," Mo Ming said without reservation. Huang Feng didn't take it to heart and sat back down on the sofa while Mo Ming and Liufeng also took their seats.
Mo Ming knew that Huang Feng had come to him for a reason, so he asked directly, "Director Huang, what can I do for you?"
"Would I dare disturb such a busy person without reason?" Huang Feng countered with a question. After taking a sip of red wine and savoring it, he said, "This red wine tastes great. The first thing I want to ask is if you have any news about Su Luan?"
"If I had any news, I would definitely tell Director Huang. I've already sent someone to investigate; for now, there’s no information about Su Luan. It doesn’t look too optimistic," Mo Ming shook his head and continued, "Director Huang, let's move on to the second matter: what do you want me to help you with? Just so you know in advance, for matters unrelated to my main business, I do charge for my services."
"..." Huang Feng was momentarily speechless and gave a wry smile. "Shura, don't be so mercenary. I'm asking you to help not just for me but for the country..."
"Alright then, let's not digress. I've already said that for matters unrelated to my main business, I need payment before I'll assist you. This isn't being mercenary; it's principle. If it weren't for your face as Director Huang, even if you offered me money, I might not help," Mo Ming said with a strong sense of principle. In reality, he was just joking with Huang Feng; they were friends after all, and friends helping each other typically didn't involve payment.
"Bring me another bottle of red wine!" Huang Feng looked at the nearly empty wine bottle on the table and said irritably, "According to your logic, if I let you handle things, you want to charge me. Since I'm here providing a service, I really need to drink a few more bottles of red wine to feel at ease."
"Haha, Liufeng, hurry up and get some good wine for our Director Huang to enjoy. After all, he is here providing a service; we shouldn't neglect him," Mo Ming seemed to understand Huang Feng's intention and smiled as he urged Liufeng to fetch the wine. Liufeng didn't say much and got up to bring two bottles of good wine to the table.
Huang Feng was not polite; he directly opened a bottle and poured himself a full glass. He took a sip and shook his head in enjoyment, saying, "Not bad. You don't mind if I take some with me, do you?"
Mo Ming and Liufeng were left feeling frustrated by Huang Feng's nonsensical remark.
"Director Huang, please feel free. Now that we've had our drinks, it's time to discuss what service you're here for," Mo Ming said with a smile.
Huang Feng put down his glass and nodded with a smile, "Haven't you caused quite a stir in Sanpan City? This matter has drawn significant attention from above. They've sent me to investigate who is behind the explosion case. As soon as I started my investigation, it led me straight to you. I must say, you're quite bold to dare do such things in Huaxia."
"Haha, it's not that I'm reckless; I know Director Huang would definitely help me. Besides, my intentions are good; it's just that my methods are somewhat unconventional," Mo Ming poured himself a glass of red wine and smiled as he said, "I believe Director Huang knows my character well enough; I would never do anything harmful to my country."
"Of course. If I didn't understand your character, there would be soldiers here instead of me. This situation has escalated too much; we need a scapegoat. Since I'm the one investigating this matter, I can say whatever I want," Huang Feng looked at Mo Ming, seemingly on the same wavelength as they both smiled knowingly.
"Alright! Director Huang handles matters differently; now I finally see what it means to be cunning!" Mo Ming laughed a few times and said, "It seems this time I've managed to kill two birds with one stone. Hehe, the Dark Order probably didn't expect this issue would fall on their heads; they will find it hard to explain."
Liufeng thought the two were up to something until he heard Mo Ming's later comments and realized they were planning to pin this mess on the Dark Order. He couldn't help but admire Huang Feng's ruthlessness.
"I need to remind you of something. According to the information I've received, the Dark Order's Evil Eye has already arrived in Sanpan City. He's not just any minor character; you'd better be careful," Huang Feng said with a slight frown, warning Mo Ming.
Mo Ming and Liufeng exchanged surprised glances. If Evil Eye had come to Sanpan City, it would undoubtedly strengthen Yin Jiu's power. Assassinating Yin Jiu would not be so simple anymore; Evil Eye's arrival might disrupt Mo Ming's plan to deal with Yin Jiu within a week—plans often change unexpectedly.
"I've already crossed paths with Evil Eye before; his strength is on par with mine. If we meet again, I can't confidently say I'm his match. Thanks to Director Huang's reminder, otherwise we might have fallen into their trap," Mo Ming said.
"I'll be in Sanpan City for a while. If you need my help, just let me know," Huang Feng said. "Also, there's something else I need to tell you: since you're planning to eliminate Yin Jiu, those above have already discussed taking decisive action against him. As long as there's a suitable successor for control, getting rid of Yin Jiu won't be that difficult."
"Oh, if control doesn't belong to Yin Jiu, then things can indeed be much easier," Mo Ming said with an appealing smile. "I already have someone suitable in mind, Director Huang. I hope you can inform the police in Sanpan City when the time comes. I can guarantee that Hong Gang will be under his control and will definitely behave."
"This person, since you have your eye on him, must not be an ordinary character. Alright, just let me know when the time comes, and I will give a heads-up to the police in Sanpan City. He will then have control." Huang Feng chuckled a few times, raised his glass of red wine, and drank it all in one go. He picked up an unopened bottle of red wine and said with a smile, "I've said what I needed to say, so I won't waste any more words. I'm leaving now."
"Then I won't keep you." Mo Ming and Liufeng also stood up. Mo Ming said to Liufeng, "Take Director Huang out. Just give the brothers a heads-up; from now on, everyone needs to be on high alert. I don't want to wake up in the middle of the night and find my head isn't on my shoulders anymore."
Liufeng nodded without saying anything and led Huang Feng outside.
"Evil Eye, oh Evil Eye, after what happened last time, I wonder if your strength has improved. Your arrival might complicate my plans even more, but I also look forward to crossing paths with you again!" Mo Ming had his hands in his pockets, his eyes flashing with fierce killing intent as an uncontrollable fighting spirit emanated from him.
After sending Huang Feng off, Liufeng felt Mo Ming's fighting spirit and walked over to say, "Boss, Evil Eye has already arrived. The people he brought are definitely not weak. Our plans might need to change; if we want to kill Yin Jiu, we will have to face Evil Eye directly. That’s not a problem in itself; I'm just worried about falling into Evil Eye's ambush."
If it were anyone else setting up an ambush, Liufeng wouldn't be too concerned. However, with a master like Evil Eye involved, there is already a gap in strength; if he sets a trap and they fall for it, it would truly be life-threatening.
"This is also something I've been considering. Evil Eye's arrival has disrupted my plans. Let me think about it; tomorrow I'll rearrange things with you," Mo Ming said with a wry smile and shook his head. "Liufeng, if you have any suggestions, feel free to share them. After all, you have plenty of clever ideas and should come up with something useful."
"I haven't thought of any ideas yet," Liufeng shook his head and said. "Alright then, I should go out and enjoy myself at the bar for a bit and gather some information. Boss, you stay here and think things through; I won't disturb you. Haha, Life Is Short, Enjoy It While You Can—don’t let the golden cup face the moon empty..."
As Liufeng spoke, he walked away.
