Warning! A hidden dragon has emerged!

Jiang Yao slowly turned around, a faint smile on her charming face, her sweet voice soft and gentle, yet every word carried a sharp edge.

"Qin Quan has joined Hidden Dragon?"

Jin Hai was stunned for a moment, then filled with regret.

If I had known it would turn out this way, why did I put on such a show?

Now that his attempt to put on a show had failed and his efforts to win over the enemy had fallen through, his aged face looked as ugly as if he had eaten excrement.

It turned green one moment and white the next, making me so angry I wanted to bite my teeth.

Jiang Yao was too lazy to waste words with this old geezer, so she responded directly with her actions.

She swayed her slender waist and walked with sexy steps to her seat, then took out a black ID from her briefcase.

The cover features a gilded dragon, solemn and imposing, exuding an overwhelming aura.

"Look carefully."

Her voice remained gentle, yet carried an undeniable domineering air.

"Qin Quan has joined Hidden Dragon; he's one of their men. If you dare touch him, you're going against Hidden Dragon. Go back and tell Shen Shichang not to think I don't know what he's up to. If there's a next time, I can't guarantee my old man won't tear down the Martial Alliance!"

Jiang Yao spoke the most ruthless words in her most charming voice.

Her fierce protectiveness of her husband is both endearing and admirable.

The old man of the Jiang family was a survivor of the national war in the last century, a national hero who crawled out of piles of dead bodies, and the initiator of the Hidden Dragon.

Let alone a mere martial arts alliance leader, even the cabinet elders would show him deference.

He is the one who truly stands at the top of the pyramid.

Jin Hai stared at the black dragon-patterned certificate, his face ashen, and remained silent for a long time.

How could he not recognize Yinlong's identification?

The die is cast; does he dare challenge the Hidden Dragon?

Or do you dare to challenge Grandpa Jiang?

Left with no other choice, he could only glare fiercely at Xie Honglong, "Disgraceful wretch!"

Jin Hai flung his sleeves and stormed out of the Qingcheng Group.

Xie Honglong and the other man exchanged a glance and slunk off.

He tried to steal a chicken but lost the rice instead; he's really embarrassed himself this time.

Watching the three figures disappear into the distance, Jiang Yao immediately reverted to her gentle and charming demeanor, blinking her bright eyes and staring intently at Qin Quan.

Hey little brother, praise me! Isn't your big sister awesome enough?

Qin Quan immediately understood her thoughts, but deliberately pretended not to hear and directly changed the subject.

"Tell me, did Jin Hai and Xie Honglong come to the company to win me over, or do they have ulterior motives?"

When it came to serious matters, Jiang Yao stopped being willful, her smile vanished instantly, and her expression became serious.

"As far as I know, the Martial Alliance headquarters clearly knows that you killed Ren Beizhou and Song Yunhui, but they have been slow to take action against you. There must be a bigger conspiracy behind this."

"Oh? What do you mean?"

Qin Quan looked at Jiang Yao in surprise.

Just from Jiang Yao's domineering rebuttal to Jin Hai, it's clear that this young lady has an extremely powerful background and definitely possesses top-secret information that no one else knows about.

Jiang Yao glanced at Lin Wanrou, seemingly challenging her, her wise eyes flashing with golden light.

"They either value your strength, or they have ulterior motives towards the beautiful Lin. For example, those three energy stones she took from Qing Shi Farm."

boom!

Upon hearing this, Qin Quan and Lin Wanrou were both startled and turned to look at Jiang Yao.

They kept this extremely secret, thinking it was foolproof, but unexpectedly, the Martial Alliance found out, Zhong Jiaming found out, and now even Jiang Yao knows everything.

Don't look at me like that.

Jiang Yao smiled faintly and said without any politeness:

"Is the energy stone that Boss Lin researched really worthless? Its energy supplied Qing Shi Farm for two whole years without any abnormalities. After you handed over the work, the energy stone just disappeared? Do you really think the people upstairs are blind or stupid?"

Something unusual must be going on. Since the higher-ups clearly knew the spirit stones were stolen but didn't hold anyone accountable, what does that mean?

There must be a bigger conspiracy brewing behind this.

Qin Quan and Lin Wanrou remained silent, their sharp gazes fixed on Jiang Yao like blades.

"What roles do you and Yinlong play in this conspiracy?"

Qin Quan smiled enigmatically, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

Jiang Yao was taken aback, then burst into laughter, bending over backward.

"Haha, as I said before, Hidden Dragon belongs to the War Department, and most of its members are elite soldiers from various branches of the military. They have to go through layers of selection to become a member of Hidden Dragon."

"Hidden Dragon is the special forces among special forces, the nation's sharpest sword, a steel blade piercing the enemy's heart, and a strong shield for the motherland and its people!"

"really?"

"nonsense!"

I'll believe you this once.

Qin Quan nodded slowly, his guard slightly lowered.

In that instant, he had already planned his escape route: once he had found out the real culprit behind the Qin family massacre, he would leave Hidden Dragon.

Jiang Yao's words gave him a completely new understanding of Hidden Dragon.

The Martial Alliance is a social organization composed of martial arts sects and families, while the Hidden Dragon is a powerful force built by the state, loyal to its country and its people.

The two are fundamentally different.

"Since you trust me, shall I take you to collect your equipment?"

Jiang Yao slowly stood up, swaying her sexy waist as she walked in front of Qin Quan, her eyes flashing with suggestive light.

Qin Quan was speechless.

This little vixen, in order to take him away, actually made up such a high-sounding reason.

He subconsciously looked at Lin Wanrou, and only breathed a sigh of relief when he saw that she was calm.

"Boss lady, I..."

"Go on, work is important."

Lin Wanrou smiled and said, "I'll go home by myself later."

"Thank you so much, Boss Lin! You're very generous!"

Before Qin Quan could speak, Jiang Yao quickly agreed, ignoring the stares of others, grabbed Qin Quan's wrist, and strode towards the door.

……

Kaneshiro Martial Arts Alliance Headquarters.

Xie Honglong was furious and pointed at Jin Hai's nose, cursing loudly.

"Jin Hai, don't think I don't know what you're up to. I'm warning you, I'm here in Jincheng as vice president on a mission. If you dare to interfere, you're dead!"

"You're the only one with a mission? I don't?"

Jin Hai was also furious. He was, after all, the president of the Jincheng Martial Arts Alliance branch. To be publicly reprimanded was intolerable.

"If I hadn't backed down in time, Qin Quan would have beaten you to death! What right do you have to yell at me?"

Speechless after being confronted, Xie Honglong simply dropped his pretense and resorted to shameless behavior.

"I don't care whose people you work for, or whose mission you're carrying out, my master is very unhappy."

"Qin Quan must die, Old Lady Lin must die, and we must get our hands on the three energy stones in Lin Wanrou's possession!"

"Your master? Could it be Master Qin from the capital?"

Jin Hai's pupils contracted sharply, and he looked at the other person with a half-smile.

"Don't ask what you shouldn't ask!"

Xie Honglong's expression changed drastically, and he glared fiercely at Jin Hai.

He was so focused on losing his temper that he didn't realize he had said something inappropriate.

Jin Hai suddenly understood. No wonder Xie Honglong was parachuted into Jincheng as the vice president; it turned out he was Qin Wuye's man.

It seems his mission is to investigate the massive fire that occurred in the suburbs ten years ago.

"I also have people behind me. They value talent and want Qin Quan to join the Martial Alliance."

Jin Hai said in a deep voice.

"That's your problem, I'll just focus on doing my job well."

Xie Honglong looked arrogant and didn't take Jin Hai seriously at all.

"I heard that Fang Mushou spent 10 billion to hire Fengyulou to send assassins to Jincheng?"

"arrive."

Jin Hai nodded, and said with a solemn expression:

"Three assassination attempts, all ended in failure. According to the rules of the Wind and Rain Pavilion, it's time for the ace assassin to be dispatched."

"When will you arrive?"

"tonight!"

Xie Honglong's lips curled into a sinister smile, his eyes filled with calculation.

"Then I'll sit back and watch the tigers fight. As long as Qin Quan is dead, that little bitch Lin Wanrou is no threat."
