I bought a secret manual of the Hehuan Sect for ten yuan.

"Hu Qingshan? He has a mother?"

Seeing Hong Zhendong's strange expression, Qin Ge realized that she might have been impolite. "Don't misunderstand, that's not what I meant."

"I heard that Hu Qingshan is about the same generation as that old man Xia Siyuan. Xia Siyuan is over seventy, so Hu Qingshan should be around the same age, right?"

"If his mother were still alive, how old would she be?"

Suddenly, something occurred to him, and he looked at Hong Zhendong suspiciously. "Chairman Hong, I don't think I've ever demonstrated my medical skills in front of you before. Why did you think of asking me?"

"Just because I gave you a prescription to clear up wasp venom and relieved some of the pain from your fracture, do you think I can save lives?"

"Brother Qin is truly quick-witted!" Hong Zhendong quickly explained, "It's not because of those things."

"The president met with Xia Siyuan and Han Qianyun. I was there at the time and heard them talk about you."

"I learned from their words that Brother Qin, your medical skills are truly remarkable!"

"They met up?" Qin Ge's expression softened. "Is it because of the Kumanthong and Butler Ding?"

Both Xia Siyuan and Han Qianyun, those two old men, have handed over the family affairs to the younger generation to manage, and Hu Qingshan has completely retired, handing over the management of the Qingshan Chamber of Commerce entirely to Hong Zhendong.

Their meeting must have something important to discuss. It seems that Butler Ding's scheme against the Han family using Kumanthong has given them quite a shock!

"It's good that Brother Qin understands." Hong Zhendong smiled noncommittally. "There are some things I can't say without permission."

"Brother Qin, why don't we talk on the way? Our guild leader's mother's condition is really not optimistic."

"Let's go take a look first!" Qin Ge got up and went out with Hong Zhendong.

On the way, Qin Ge remembered the news her parents had mentioned last night. "By the way, Chairman Hong, I heard that a serial killer and rapist has appeared in Donghai recently, committing a series of crimes, and the police haven't caught him yet. Are you aware of this?"

"Yes, that's true. Brother Qin, you're still concerned about this?" Hong Zhendong turned the steering wheel. "Those two people must be from out of town."

"We were just killing time, so we chatted." Qin Ge was slightly surprised. "How did you know there were two people, and how are you so sure they're from out of town?"

Hong Zhendong smiled slightly, "Cats have their ways, and mice have theirs. This matter is not insignificant; I have received some information about it."

"The police station contacted those two people, but unfortunately they escaped and injured several people."

"Those are two experts, at least at the Profound Realm."

"While the various well-known forces in the East China Sea may not necessarily be on good terms with each other, they do communicate with each other. If those two people belong to a certain force in the East China Sea, it won't be difficult for us to find out."

"So I judged that they were from outside, but we still don't know what their real purpose was in coming to the East China Sea."

Qin Ge was still puzzled. "President Hong seems quite certain that those two people came to Donghai with ulterior motives?"

"Couldn't it just be randomly moving around and happen to appear in the East China Sea?"

"It's unlikely." Hong Zhendong shook his head slightly. "I checked, and I didn't find any information about them committing crimes in other places."

"If he were a repeat offender, purely motivated by murder and lust, it's impossible for him to leave traces only in the East China Sea."

"Moreover, it's highly unusual for experts like them to act this way. I'm more inclined to believe they're from out of town and have ulterior motives."

"Abnormal?" Qin Ge was increasingly confused. "They're just taking advantage of their superior skills to do whatever they want. Doesn't that make sense?"

"And as you said yourself, the police can't do anything about them. Not only did they fail to arrest them, but several people were also injured in the process!"

Hong Zhendong glanced at Qin Ge, finding it somewhat unbelievable. "Brother Qin, do you really not know?"

"Just because others can't do anything about them doesn't mean no one else can. Rumor has it that the Shadow Martial Hall has already intervened!"

"In my opinion, martial artists are the most law-abiding, at least more so than ordinary people, because they are always being watched..."

"Wait! What did you just say, Shadow Martial Hall? What is that?" Qin Ge interrupted Hong Zhendong. He had never heard of Shadow Martial Hall before.

"Has no one told you?" Hong Zhendong also found it unbelievable. Qin Ge was on good terms with the Shen family and also had dealings with the Xia and Han families. Had no one mentioned Shadow Martial Hall to him?

"I don't really know how to put it, but the Shadow Martial Arts Hall is basically like a martial arts association!"

"There aren't many martial artists in this world, but there aren't a few either. If they break the law and cause trouble, it will be a very troublesome matter. The Shadow Martial Hall exists to restrict and control these people; at least that's one factor involved!"

"That's why I say martial artists are the most law-abiding. It's not like you think that you can do whatever you want just because you have strength, because nobody wants to be targeted by the Shadow Martial Hall."

"With the Shadow Martial Hall making a move, it's only a matter of time before those two are caught. Isn't their behavior unusual?"

"Wait, wait!" Qin Ge's head was buzzing. Why was he completely unaware of the existence of such a powerful organization as the Shadow Martial Hall?

According to Hong Zhendong, the Shen family, the Xia family, and others should all know this, and Su Wenxi and her family, being martial artists, should know even more. So why has no one mentioned it to him?

However, some things that puzzled me before have now become clear. For example, the Su family has so many martial artists, yet they keep a low profile and would rather work for the Xia family to earn money than do other business.

Looking back now, it must be related to the existence of the Shadow Martial Hall.

Just like he had asked Su Wenxi before, if a martial artist were to participate in a sports meet with such physical abilities, wouldn't they just be killing everyone indiscriminately?

Making money after becoming famous is a natural thing, and it's glamorous money too. Isn't that better than working your life away for a rich man?

"President Hong, is this Shadow Martial Arts Hall a highly secretive organization?"

"How come I've never heard of this before?"

"It's not exactly a secret, a lot of people know about it!" Hong Zhendong began to suspect that Qin Ge was teasing him. "Maybe you just haven't had the chance to get in touch with him before, Brother Qin."

"The Shadow Martial Hall has dozens of branches, and there is one in the East China Sea."

"However, they don't have a nameplate, nor do they announce that this is the Shadow Martial Arts Hall. Just like the shadow units in special forces, it's normal for ordinary people not to know about it."

"After all, ordinary people may never come into contact with martial artists in their entire lives, and even if a martial artist stands in front of them, they wouldn't know it."

"Brother Qin, aren't you a martial artist too? Martial artists should know this!"

"I also want to know why I don't know!" Qin Ge said, a little annoyed.

He then asked Hung Chen-tung many questions about the Shadow Martial Arts Hall, and the two chatted idly until they arrived at Heng Ai Hospital.
