"Abbot, if possible, please perform the ritual for me right here in your main hall today! I need to calm my mind; I've witnessed too much life and death recently!"

Where else can one witness countless deaths and injuries? Only on the battlefield. The abbot seemed to understand something, but he couldn't say anything.

Clearly, the aura that Zhang Tianhao released at the beginning, even though it was still around his body, was enough to make the abbot feel that there was too much blood and killing on Zhang Tianhao.

Now, hearing Zhang Tianhao say this, I understand what's going on.

"it is good!"

Since he was getting paid anyway, the abbot didn't feel there was anything wrong with chanting scriptures in the main hall.

Inside the main hall, there were still some other worshippers who, after kneeling and praying, looked around and then left.

Zhang Tianhao, sitting quietly in a corner, had slightly relaxed his aura, and as he chanted Buddhist scriptures, much of the fierceness in his body gradually dissipated.

His mental strength had already reached its limit, but as the fierce aura around him slowly dissipated, his mental strength became purer and purer.

While he was still contemplating Buddhist scriptures, a young woman inexplicably appeared beside him.

She slowly approached Zhang Tianhao's side, sat quietly, and listened to the chanting of Buddhist scriptures in the main hall, gently kneeling there as well.

After the chanting of Buddhist scriptures ended, she looked at Zhang Tianhao in front of her and asked him softly.

"Excuse me, sir, what kind of religious ceremony was performed today?"

"no!"

Upon hearing the voice, Zhang Tianhao continued to kneel there, his voice not loud, yet still calm.

"Sir, you seem to be feeling unwell. Do you need any help?"

"I do feel a little uncomfortable, my heart is a little uneasy."

"It seems you've come to Jing'an Temple because of a heart ailment! Tell us about it, and perhaps we can help you treat it. What do you say?"

"sure!"

Zhang Tianhao also turned his head to look at the young woman behind him.

However, there still seemed to be a few strands of sorrow between his brows.

"It seems the young lady has something on her mind too! Perfect, let's go sit in the backyard, perhaps we can have something in common to talk about."

"Okay!"

Zhang Tianhao then stood up and said something to the abbot.

"Abbot, I'd like to speak with this female benefactor in the back. Is that convenient for you?"

“Benefactor Wang, you and Benefactor Yu, please make yourselves at home.”

"Thank you!"

The abbot looked at the two men and realized that they seemed to know each other at all. He smiled and didn't say anything. Instead, he sat there and continued to lead the monks in chanting sutras.

The chanting was much quieter and softer.

Miss Yu, however, did not notice anything amiss and followed Zhang Tianhao toward the backyard.

Under an old tree in the backyard, there was a stone table with a teapot on it and two cups on either side, indicating that someone would sit here to drink tea and chat.

The two of them didn't stand on ceremony and simply sat down on the stone bench to the side, watching Miss Yu sit down opposite them.

"Ms. Yu, hello, would you like some water?"

"Thank you, but no need."

Seeing the tea prepared especially for them, Miss Yu still refused it directly. Zhang Tianhao, standing to the side, also didn't say much and simply sat there, with no one pouring him a glass of water. "Miss Yu, Yu Yinyin, the eldest daughter of the Yu family flour mill, is twenty-nine years old today and unmarried."

Zhang Tianhao's mind raced for a moment, and he couldn't help but give a wry smile.

"I never expected that we would become friends after such a fight. I was wondering why it was so easy for me to get rice and flour from your house before."

"Dr. Wang, you're too kind. I never expected we'd meet like this. And you know me so well, I really didn't expect it!"

"As for that place, I only know a few simple details about you, not much, and I can't even match your name to my face. It's only now that I see you and hear the abbot mention you that I remember you."

"It seems Dr. Wang knows a lot about people in Shanghai?"

"How could I possibly know? Shanghai also has a population of over a million, but I know at least a thousand of them, or at least they are people I'm paying close attention to!"

Zhang Tianhao smiled and replied nonchalantly.

"Dr. Wang's name is known throughout almost all of Shanghai. He's extremely famous. Even if I wanted to, it would be impossible for me not to know him, haha!"

Yu Yinyin couldn't help but laugh.

"By the way, Miss Yu, let's get down to business!"

"it is good!"

"Let me introduce myself. I'm the leader of the Dark Group. Although we're not on the same side, we've definitely heard of you."

"Although the comrades you led had many internal problems, you did a lot of things while you were in charge of Shanghai, and the organization also mentioned this to me."

"However, the organization also said that you have too many things to do and are too busy. We also haven't met you yet, which is really a bit embarrassing. If we had known it was you, we would have paid you a visit directly."

"Yes, I didn't expect it to be you either. We guess we're destined to meet!"

Zhang Tianhao didn't seem to care and just chuckled a few times.

"We've started an internal investigation into the message you gave us last time, and we've indeed discovered quite a few problems. Morale among our staff is low, and some have even actually defected to the Japanese!"

“After we launched our internal investigation, we discovered that almost all of these people were brought in by a key traitor, who was also an important member of our group.”

"And our comrades were either corrupted by him, sacrificed, or captured by the Japanese. Almost the entire army on that line was wiped out. Alas!"

How many people are on their line?

Three!

"Two sacrifices were made. One surrendered, the hotel owner, but he was just a pawn; the traitor was behind him."

"As for his superior, we've always communicated through a dead email address, so I've never met him in person and he doesn't know I exist."

"Oh, I see!"

"How is that traitor doing?"

“We have already sent out a cleanup team to clean it up. This time the losses are huge. He had as many as ten men under him, and five of our cleanup team members were killed.”

"There are still some of the people he recruited who are still alive, and that's when we started to realize we were in some trouble."

Yu Yinyin was somewhat helpless, but still said with some gratitude, "This time I applied to the organization to meet, firstly to express my gratitude, and secondly to see if we can cooperate, since our enemies are all Japanese."

“We’ve been working together all along, haven’t we? If you need anything, you can let me know. I have some connections here and can help you solve some problems.”

"Thank you!"

She also felt a little embarrassed. (End of Chapter)
