"Ling Yu?"

Chang Fei was completely confused. How did this matter have anything to do with Ling Yu?

Yes, yes.

Xiao Hong gritted his teeth and said, "President, just last night, Ling Yu suddenly found me and asked if I wanted to consume an inexhaustible supply of high-grade True Qi Pills. I said of course I wanted to, I dreamed about it!"

"But the association only has so many high-grade True Qi Pills. Even we, the association leader, aren't rich."

"and then?"

Chang Fei was startled and quickly pressed for an answer.

"Then, Ling Yu said that he had a way to ensure that I would never have to worry about not having enough high-grade True Qi Pills again. I was overjoyed and immediately asked him what his method was."

Xiao Hong glanced at Chen Fan, tears streaming down his face. "He said that there is a very powerful alchemist in the Anshan City Martial Arts Association who can refine high-grade True Qi Pills. A whole batch of pills will be high-grade True Qi Pills."

I immediately felt that things weren't that simple, because if he really was involved, why didn't he keep all the good talk for himself instead of telling me?

Later, I finally understood.

"What do you understand?"

Chang Fei's eyes were filled with coldness.

He vaguely guessed what had happened.

This Xiao Hong, who traveled all the way from headquarters to Anshan City, is really going to cause trouble for Brother Chen.

No wonder Brother Chen's face was so terribly gloomy at the moment.

"I understand. That despicable Ling Yu is just trying to use me. He said that although Brother Chen is very skilled in alchemy, his martial arts skills are not that great. We can tie him up in a very secluded place and make him keep refining True Qi Pills for us. That way, we'll have countless high-grade True Qi Pills to consume, right?"

"Did Ling Yu really say that?" Chang Fei asked, staring intently into his eyes.

"President, even if I had the guts of a bear and the gall of a leopard, I wouldn't dare to lie to you about something like this."

Xiao Hong cried.

"Every word I've said is true, not a single one is false."

"Okay, go on."

Chang Fei's gaze was chilling.

"Yes, Chairman, I was shocked when I heard what he said. I said, how could we lay a hand on our own brothers? Although we are strangers, we are all members of the association."

Besides, since Brother Chen can refine high-grade True Qi Pills, why don't we just honestly buy them from him with money? Why resort to such methods? If others find out, we'll both be in deep trouble.

Xiao Hong licked his lips and continued, "But Ling Yu said that high-grade True Qi Pills are expensive, and buying them would cost a fortune, plus the quantity available is limited. Wouldn't it be better to kidnap them? Then we'd only have to pay for some medicinal herbs to get a large quantity of high-grade True Qi Pills. Wouldn't that be better?"

"So you've fallen for her?"

"No, President, do you think I'm that kind of person?" Xiao Hong cried out, "I refused back then, but who knew that Ling Yu would threaten me, saying that he had already told me what happened and that if I didn't do as he said, the consequences would be severe."

"President, as you know, Ling Yu is a True Yuan Realm martial artist, and his strength is already above mine. Not to mention his status, I dare not disobey him."

"So, I had no choice but to agree to his request and travel all the way from headquarters to try and kidnap Brother Chen. But who knew that Brother Chen was so skilled? Before I could even make a move, he had already immobilized me by striking my pressure points. And then, Chairman, you know what happened next."

Xiao Hong looked extremely aggrieved.

"Why don't you tell me what you did to Brother Sun?" Chen Fan asked.

"Um?"

Upon hearing this, Chang Fei looked over again.

"I, I..."

Left with no other choice, Xiao Hong could only recount what he had done to Sun Wei.

"Xiao! Hong!"

Sure enough, a fierce anger rose in Chang Fei's heart on the screen.

This guy is actually going to kill someone from the same association! The worst part is that his target is the branch president!

This Xiao Hong is absolutely lawless!

"President, I know I was wrong, I really know I was wrong!"

Xiao Hong cried out in distress. If he hadn't been unable to move, he would have knelt down on the ground and begged for mercy.

"President, I was blinded by greed at the time, single-mindedly focused on finding Brother Chen's whereabouts so I could take him away. That's why I resorted to such a desperate measure. President, I was wrong, and I'm willing to accept punishment from headquarters!"

"You've been blinded by greed, aren't you? You certainly know how to make excuses for yourself!"

Chang Fei gritted his teeth, his eyes filled with a look of rage that seemed to want to devour him alive.

This guy was clearly trying to kill me to silence me!

He knew perfectly well that the person standing in front of him was a fellow member of the association, yet he still managed to do such a cruel thing. What a beast!

Of course, what he was more worried about was Chen Fan, fearing that he would have a problem with headquarters because of this.

From the current perspective, this is already an open secret.

"Brother Chen..." Chang Fei took a deep breath.

"President Chang,"

Chen Fan raised his hand, signaling him not to speak yet, and then said, "I have a question that I don't understand, and I hope Chairman Chang can answer it for me."

"Young Master Chen, please speak."

Chang Fei quickly replied.

As long as it can salvage everything, he wouldn't hesitate to do ten or a hundred things, even if it's just a problem.

"The only people who know I can refine high-grade True Qi Pills are probably Chairman Chang, Elder Tang, and Elder Luo, right? So how did Ling Yu find out about this?"

"It's my problem."

Chang Fei slowly said, "Ling Yu has a high talent, so he has always been trained by the president. Didn't we agree before to give you three Demon-Slaying Arrows?"

Such items are extremely valuable at headquarters. Even I need the president's permission to use them. That's why I told him about your situation. Presumably, Ling Yu learned about this from the president.

"Is that so?"

The doubt in Chen Fan's eyes had not yet dissipated.

"Brother Chen, I know you're wondering if I or Old Tang and the others might be behind this. But honestly, there's no way that's possible."

Chang Fei smiled wryly and said, "I, Chang Fei, am not that kind of petty person. Ever since Tang Lao and the others received the pill formula from you, they have been staying in the alchemy room, working day and night with the others on research. Regardless of whether they had the motive or not, even if they did, they don't have the ability to do so."

If you don't believe me, I can confront him and see if I really orchestrated this."

"No, no, no."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Hong quickly said, "Brother Chen, this matter really has nothing to do with the chairman and the others. We're trying to keep it from them, how could we possibly let them know?"

This whole thing was orchestrated by Ling Yu from beginning to end. I was just a pawn in his game, Brother Chen. Please don't wrong an innocent person!

After he finished speaking, the atmosphere in the conference room fell silent again.

Xiao Hong's eyes were filled with anxiety. He was genuinely afraid that Chen Fan would take his anger out on Chang Fei, and if Chang Fei was the one being targeted, then his situation when he returned to headquarters would be even worse.

Chang Fei was also feeling extremely anxious.

His explanation was indeed very weak.

He couldn't find a better way to prove that he had nothing to do with the matter.

Thinking of this, he could only say, "Brother Chen, I swear a solemn oath: if I was behind this, may I fall into the jaws of a ferocious beast and die a horrible death. I wonder if you can believe me?"

Chen Fan frowned.

The cycle of karma is inescapable, and retribution is inevitable. This is especially true for martial artists with extraordinary power, who are filled with fear. If they can make such a solemn oath, they are most likely to have a clear conscience.

So, was this really orchestrated by Ling Yu?

Or is there someone even more powerful behind this?

It wasn't that he was paranoid or prone to making unfounded assumptions; rather, he always wanted to prepare for the worst.

"Alright, Chairman Chang, I trust you this time. I don't need to remind you what to do next, do I?" Chen Fan said.

Sun Wei's eyes widened in surprise.

Brother Chen's tone? It's as if he and Chairman Chang are of equal status, but Chairman Chang is a True Yuan Realm expert!

Suddenly, he was startled and his gaze secretly turned to Xiao Hong.

Yeah, isn't this guy a late-stage Qi Refining martial artist? Yet he didn't have the slightest chance to fight back against Brother Chen.

Therefore, Brother Chen's strength is also at the True Yuan Realm!

Sun Wei was so frightened by the thought that popped into his mind that he couldn't make a sound.

"Okay, I'll call the president right now and have him bring Ling Yu over so we can all clear things up."

Chang Fei gave Chen Fan a deep look.

He had always thought that Chen Fan's talent was only amazing in alchemy, but judging from what has happened now, Chen Fan's talent in martial arts is no less than that in alchemy!

It is very likely that he is now a True Yuan Realm martial artist. Otherwise, how could Xiao Hong, whose strength is second only to himself, not be a match for the other party?

Ling Yu, oh Ling Yu, you've caused an unimaginable disaster!

Normally, no matter how much you upset everyone, they would turn a blind eye because of the chairman. But you shouldn't have set your sights on this person, especially with such a vicious idea!

To put it bluntly, even if the president intervened and pleaded on your behalf, it probably wouldn't be enough to quell the anger of the person in front of you.

Alas, the sins of Heaven may be forgiven, but the sins of oneself are unforgivable.

He sighed inwardly, and in front of Chen Fan, he took out his phone and dialed the number of Chairman Shi Tao.

I just hope this matter can be resolved smoothly.

Otherwise, the headquarters would have lost far more than just a master alchemist; it would have also lost a martial arts genius, possibly even more powerful than Ling Yu!
