Under One Person, your rebellious life has reached the heavens?

"What's her weakness? Are you just going to let her go like this?"

Wang Ai was very unwilling. Duanmu Ying's abilities were just too much for him to satisfy his desires. Even if there was only a trace of a clue, he wanted to investigate it.

"Her relatives and teachers who had any connection with her are all dead long ago."

Lü Ci had considered this method, but he was unable to implement it due to a lack of necessary conditions.

"Even the man she was engaged to back then is now in his coffin."

"Hmph! That witch is lucky."

Wang Ai's eyes were sinister. Once he obtained the Double-Handed Technique he was after, he would have countless ways to deal with the Celestial Master's Mansion.

"Ugh......."

Lu Ci gazed at the emaciated corpse on the stone wall with complicated emotions. It was his relative, and also his wife whom he had never had a formal title.

Until her death, the old woman's children never knew that the "aunt" who had taken care of them since childhood was their mother. In her later years, she was even more miserable, as her body was taken over, her mind was erased, and she was locked in this dark dungeon to rot.

How pitiful.

How ridiculous.

How cowardly!

A self-deprecating smile appeared on Lü Ci's face.

He rationally suppressed these inappropriate emotions, quickly averted his gaze, and as if nothing had happened, took out his phone from his pocket and dialed his family's number.

"Get down and collect the body."

The concise words reveal an almost cruel indifference.

Regardless of whether the other end could hear, Lü Ci hung up the phone and smiled slightly at Wang Ai: "Want to go? Fatty, want to come up and have a seat?"

"Alright, it's time to talk about the Luo Tian Grand Ceremony. With our two families joining forces, how can we not obtain the Qi Source Flow?"

moment.

Inside the old-fashioned Chinese hall, Wang Ai and Lü Ci chatted over tea, pondering how to deal with the Celestial Master's Mansion.

"Ding dong!"

"Ding dong!"

Suddenly, the phones on the table lit up at the same time. The message came from the group chat of the Ten Elders. When they saw the few lines of text on the screen, no matter how careful Wang Ai and Lü Ci were, they could not suppress the greed in their hearts.

"As expected... the Tongtian Talisman is with Lu Jin. The rumors from back then were true."

"I didn't expect him to be so generous, actually throwing out all eight extraordinary techniques?"

Wang Ai smiled knowingly and mocked, "Those pretentious old fogies deserve to have no family skills."

"Don't you know what kind of person Lu Jin is?"

Lu Ci slowly sipped his tea and said with a faint smile:

"He and Zhang Zhiwei are the same kind of people, and they're close. Seeing that the old man from the Celestial Master's Mansion was bullied and disrupted by us, do you think he can swallow this? Isn't he just causing us more trouble?"

"Sigh! Since he's willing to throw out such a lucrative bait, I'll make sure he loses everything."

At this moment, Wang Ai felt so happy that every pore on her body was slightly relaxed.

The Dual-Hand Technique, the Heavenly Talisman, and the Qi Source Flow all appeared. It felt really good to be given a pillow just when you were about to doze off.

"Are you ready? Fatty?" Lu Ci probed, seemingly casually.

"more or less."

Wang Ai glanced at the messages in the group chat, his smile widening. He casually sent a few agreeing messages, then put down his phone and said:

"Later, I also made an appointment with Chairman Feng of the Tianxia Society to have dinner, reminisce about the past, and maybe we can even cooperate."

"Given the hidden circumstances of that year, isn't it obvious who was the enemy and who was the friend?"

"Hedgehog, come with me."

"Oh? What would I do there?" Lu Ci raised an eyebrow, showing little interest.

"Watch me train the dog, and that will serve as proof."

Chapter 240 First Tame the Dog, Then Win Him Over

"President Feng... Feng Zhenghao."

"Starting from scratch, he established the Tianxia Society, and the Tianxia Group under his name has a market value of 3000 billion, making it a mid-level player among the world's top 500 companies, with astonishing financial resources."

"A tough guy like him who has fought his way up must have exceptional talent and strategy. I'm not trying to belittle myself, but if it were the two of us, we probably wouldn't be able to achieve what he has."

Lu Ci's smile was intriguing, and his implication was rather tactful. He didn't quite believe that Wang Pangzi's methods could tame this person, and that it might even drag the Wang family down with him.

In terms of financial resources alone, the World Society is undoubtedly the number one among the forces to which the Ten Elders belong.

"Fatty, you want to use him to get rid of Zhang Chulan?"

Wang Ai smiled and blew on the warm tea, saying:

"Money makes the world go round. It would be a waste not to win over such a good ally."

“If the World Society is on our side, unless that kid hides in Longhu Mountain for the rest of his life, as long as he is outside, even if he is protected by a company, there are plenty of people who want his head if they try to lure him with a lot of money.”

Lu Ci was tempted, but fearing the fat man might cause trouble, he thought it over and decided to go along to see what was going on. So he inquired about the itinerary:

"What time?"

"Nine p.m."

Wang Ai was increasingly looking forward to meeting Chairman Feng.

.......

Under the dazzling night sky, in a luxurious VIP dining room of a five-star hotel standing in the heart of the city, Lü Ci and Wang Ai leisurely waited for their prey to take the bait, chatting and laughing as if nothing was amiss.

The reception manager next to us arranged a table of steaming hot delicacies.

With just a few minutes to go before nine o'clock, the room door was pushed open.

The man walking towards us was tall and straight, wearing a suit, with regular features, thin round-framed glasses, and gray hair on his head. He was none other than Feng Zhenghao, the current president of the Tianxia Society.

Several bodyguards and secretaries followed, and they tactfully stopped and waited quietly outside the door.

"President Feng? That's rare. Come, have a seat."

"I apologize for keeping you two waiting. I just finished some company business and rushed over here."

Feng Zhenghao greeted Wang Ai and Lü Ci respectively, shaking hands and exchanging pleasantries. The power of the Wang and Lü families was not to be underestimated, but the profit-driven nature of a businessman made him keep a very humble attitude.

"It's alright, sit down." Wang Ai warmly pulled Feng Zhenghao to sit down.

"I am honored by your kindness, Mr. Wang. Please, let me pour you a glass of wine, fill it to the brim."

As the host, Feng Zhenghao took the initiative to pour wine for the two elderly people. The aroma of Moutai quickly filled the air, bringing the group closer together.

After several rounds of drinks and several dishes, Wang Ai saw that a good opportunity had arrived, so he simply got straight to the point:

"President Feng, I've recently heard that you've been getting quite close to that kid Zhang Chulan. What's going on? Tell this old man about it."

Feng Zhenghao's right hand, which was holding the wine glass, stiffened slightly. He hadn't expected that the old devil Wang's informant was so sharp that he had actually found out about his Tianxia Group.

However, he wasn't afraid of being held accountable; he just gave a forced laugh.

"Oh! That's right, it can't be hidden from you, sir."

"I think Chu Lan is a decent kid, so I'm planning to let the kids in my family get to know him and get to know him. After all, they're the same generation, and they might have things in common."

"Interactions? Hmph!"

"boom!"

Wang Ai sneered and slammed his wine glass heavily on the table, the crisp sound seeming to vent his extreme displeasure.

"My Bing'er is about the same age as your child, so why doesn't Chairman Feng urge them to keep in touch?"

"what?"

Feng Zhenghao pondered the old man's scheme in secret, and dealt with it calmly:

“You come from a prestigious family, don’t you? I’m just a merchant’s son. If I were to associate with Young Master Bing, wouldn’t that be beneath my dignity? I’m afraid you might mistakenly think we have ulterior motives, so I hesitate and dare not.”

"It's not my fault, please don't mind."

Before Wang Ai could react, Feng Zhenghao raised his glass to apologize, completing the entire action in one smooth motion.

"Alright, Chairman Feng, everyone knows what you're up to. You're just after that kid's 'Qi Body Source Flow.' I just don't know what you're going to offer him? Money, power, or a beautiful woman?"

Lu Ci deliberately broke the ice, and the atmosphere at the dinner table instantly became subtle and heavy.

"Look at what you're saying, Senior Lü, I'm ashamed."

Feng Zhenghao tacitly acknowledged the fact, but didn't want to say it so bluntly, his smile tinged with embarrassment.

"If you want it, why not just steal it?"

Lu Ci's words were indifferent, and his gaze was sharp as a knife. Faced with his pressure, Feng Zhenghao feigned fear and tried to deflect the question:

"This...absolutely not. A gentleman loves money, but he acquires it in a proper way."

Zhang Chulan not only receives much attention from the Celestial Master, but also has the title of temporary worker at the company.

Even with Feng Zhenghao's great ambitions, he dared not go too far and could only proceed slowly.

Not long ago, he even tried to recruit this guy as his son-in-law and marry his daughter Feng Shayan to him, hoping to obtain the 'Qi Body Source Flow' in the future. However, he did not expect Zhang Chulan to be so wary and refuse to eat or drink anything.

"Oh? You acquired it ethically."

Wang Ai seemed to have heard the most absurd joke in the world, and her contempt deepened. She scoffed:

"Are you, Chairman Feng, so merciful to the descendants of your enemies? Have you ever thought about how your ancestors were framed by their ancestors?"

"?!"

Feng Zhenghao's body trembled violently, his pupils shrinking to the size of pinpoints, he was quite shocked by this sudden news.

Zhang Chulan is the grandson of Zhang Huaiyi.

During the Jia Shen Rebellion of the last century, his grandfather, Feng Tianyang, was also one of the thirty-six sworn brothers. He even comprehended the miraculous ability to bind spirits and command generals. During this period, he was hunted down by both the righteous and evil factions of the martial arts world and fled all over the world.

Before his whereabouts were exposed, Feng Tianyang secretly passed on his extraordinary skills to his family. After that, his younger brother led his family to live in hiding and flee across the country.

Now, Wang Ai accuses Zhang Huaiyi of framing her grandfather. Feng Zhenghao, suppressing a bad feeling, presses for an answer:

"Mr. Wang, I'm afraid I don't understand what you're saying. Could you please explain the whole story in detail?"

"Humph."

"The brothers Feng Tianyang and Feng Tianyi actually have a history with my Wang family..."

Wang Ai glanced sideways at Feng Zhenghao, his eyes filled with disdain for this fool who had been kept in the dark, and recounted the whole story:

"Speaking of which, it was your grandfather Feng Tianyang who was too greedy back then. In order to protect himself, he even plotted against our Wang family."

"He offered up the Spirit Binding and Commanding skills on his own initiative, and also revealed to us all the extraordinary techniques that his other sworn brothers had mastered. There were quite a few sect leaders present at the time. You don't need to doubt that I'm deceiving you. You can ask the old folks in the circle anytime if you don't believe me."

Feng Zhenghao's brain went blank. His father and grandmother had indeed been taken away by his uncle Feng Tianyi to hide from place to place many years ago. Even after he was born, there was a period of hardship when they were always moving.

However, even on their deathbeds, Uncle, Grandmother, and Father did not tell Feng Tianyang the reason behind this. They only left instructions to keep a low profile and avoid using the family's unique skill of summoning spirits and commanding generals, for fear of attracting disaster.

But what Feng Tianyang couldn't understand was why his grandfather would betray his sworn brother. He found it hard to accept that his ancestor was such a despicable person. Perhaps there were other hidden reasons behind it?

Wang Ai looked at Feng Zhenghao's unpredictable expression and felt incredibly pleased. He proudly showed off the favor he had once received.

"Do you know? Your life, Chairman Feng's life, and even the lives of your entire family, were all earned by your grandfather kowtowing, one by one. It's true that you, Feng Zhenghao, are a ruthless and powerful figure, but without your grandfather's scheming many years ago, your family would have been wiped out long ago."

"Back then, your grandfather made a deal with my father. In those turbulent times, he withstood a lot of pressure. He said he would protect your grandfather, and he did. Even after he died suddenly, his wife, children, and brothers, who were desperate and being hunted down, sought our protection."

“My father still cherishes our past relationship. He not only protected your uncle Feng Tianyi, but also gave him some money to settle down and make a living. Otherwise, do you really think that with your grandfather’s background, your whole family could survive in this chaotic world?”

Wang Ai's voice was like a sharp dagger, piercing deep into Feng Zhenghao's heart. He couldn't understand why his grandfather would do that. His lips parted slightly, and he asked with difficulty:

"Old Wang...how exactly did my grandfather die?! Why...why did he do that?!"

"How did you die?"

Wang Ai was lost in memories, hesitating and pondering:

"I don't know the specific truth either, but my Wang family was really screwed over by your father. Back then, his Spirit Binding Generals were targeted by Quanxing, who broke into my Wang family and killed several respected elders there."
