Chapter 619 (2/2)

Wang Zidong himself had just decided that he would tell Du Yunlong about Tang Xiu’s identity after the man had arrived here. But when he heard Tang Xiu’s warning, he immediately tossed this thought away. He was not afraid of the Du Family, what he feared was Du Yunlong. But if he were to compare him with Tang Xiu, he was definitely more afraid of Tang Xiu.

After going out, Wang Zidong saw Li Chunlei waiting in the corridor outside and said with a bitter smile, “Send instructions to clean up the Supreme Hall and prepare good wine and dishes. Also, take the best tea leaves in my room to the Supreme Hall as well, it will be used later.”

Inside, Li Chunlei was shocked. Though he had long guessed that Long Zengyu and Tang Xiu had extraordinary identities, little did he think that they would receive such attention and care. One must know that the guests who could use the Supreme Hall in Blue City were probably less than the number of fingers in both of his hands.

“I’ll arrange it now!”

Wang Zidong watched as he left. He fell into silence for a short while before clenching his teeth, typing a text and sending it.

On a road a dozen kilometers away, two cars were heading toward the direction of the Clearlake Club. Inside one of the Mercedes-Benz, Du Yunlong’s mobile phone vibrated. After he took it out and read the text message, his face slightly changed.

“Master, A’ Qiang is dead.” Du Yunlong turned his head and looked at the middle-aged man sitting beside him.

Shao Mingzhen slightly furrowed his brows. Pity could be seen on his face as he lightly said, “I originally wanted to enter Blue City secretly by subduing A’ Qiang and using him as my proxy. I didn’t expect him to die. Wasn’t he sheltered by your Du Family? Don’t tell me he provoked a terrifying figure?”

“I don’t know, either.” Du Yunlong shook his head. “Just before I received a text that you’re at the airport, I had been informed that my little brother has stirred up trouble in the Clearlake Club. He should be the one who called A’ Qiang, so…”

“You two are biological brothers from the Du Family, yet have such different characters.” Shao Mingzhen narrowed his eyes. “You have great aim, great ambition, a steady and safe attitude in pursuing something, and a low-key disposition. Yet Du Yunjie is unbridled and seriously have a silk pants’ bad habits. I’m afraid he will be in for getting stabbed and stuffed into a big basket in the future if your family can’t properly restrain him.”

“My parents are too fond of him, thus they spoiled him,” said Du Yunlong helplessly. “Though I have tried to keep him in check, I don’t have other means to change his slovenly, reckless attitude completely. How about you find some time to teach him well, Master? I believe that he will definitely grow a lot if you are willing to teach him.”

“We’ll discuss this matter some other time!” said Shao Mingzhen faintly. “I still have a lot of things to deal with, and though there’s no need for me to involve myself with the matters in Star City, the expansion I planned in the dark is kind of obstructed. If there’s no other way around to break into Blue City, it won’t be easy to expand my influence in other provinces than Shuangqing Province.”

“But Master, there are many families in Blue City, and some of them even have a deeper heritage as well as an intricate network,” hesitantly said Du Yunlong. “If you want to control the underworld forces in Blue City, I’m afraid that it won’t be easy to counter the resistance from those families without the support from some big shots in the government.”

“I’m not unaware of this fact.” Shao Mingzhen nodded “I wanted to control A’ Qiang, who could be said as someone discovered by your family. I want to exercise control over dozens of powerful people in the entire Blue City, but I’m aware that more than that may possibly give rise to the anger of the families, joining in opposition to battle the same adversary. However, I have no other options. There are reasons behind my actions.”

Du Yunlong was very confused and puzzled. He couldn’t figure out why his Master wanted to control the underground forces in Blue City. Even if he wanted to be the Godfather of the entire Shuangqing Province, it didn’t mean that Blue City was the only place he could start at. He really wanted to ask him, but was evaded by his Master every time, and therefore could only bury his confusion inside.

“Master, I just broke through the Foundation Establishment Stage a couple days ago.” Du Yunlong changed the subject and spoke in an undertone voice.

Shao Mingzhen’s eyes lit up and nodded with satisfaction. He had two disciples being an itinerant cultivator. His first disciple had been living in a foreign country and only returned to China every year to celebrate New Year, whereas his second disciple had always been in the country and followed him for at least a few months every year for cultivation purposes.

Originally, he thought that his second disciple would require at least a few years more before he breakthrough to the Foundation Establishment Stage. Little did he expect that his aptitude turned out to be this good and had already had a breakthrough now.

“That’s great, you’re very good.” Shao Mingzhen nodded and praised. “Maybe you can surpass your First Martial Brother and break through to the Golden Core Stage earlier than him.”

“As a matter of fact, this disciple chanced upon a good opportunity,” said Du Yunlong with a smile. “I met someone, an authoritative figure in the Endless Virtue Pharmaceutical in Blue City. I bought several precious medicinal herbs from him, and after a period of having nourishing medicated dishes, I then broke through to the Foundation Establishment Stage.

“You mean, someone in charge of the Endless Virtue Pharmaceutical in Blue City sold it to you in secret?” Shao Mingzhen was surprised.

“Yeah, he often keeps some precious medicinal herbs.” Du Yunlong nodded. “I can help you contact him if you need them.”

“I had better let it pass!” Shao Mingzhen shook his head. “I’m afraid that things will go awry if Chen Zhizhong learns about this.”

“But Master, why do you still pay attention to Chen Zhizhong given your present capacity?” Du Yunlong’s brows raised.

With a forced smile, Shao Mingzhen said, “It’s not him who I look at, but his Master! Well, let’s forget it! Anyways, since you always wanted to know why I want to control the underground forces in the entire Shuangqing Province, especially here in Blue City, then I’ll tell you about it today.”
