Chapter 1056: Subduing Mo Yun
"No problem, leave the Mo Family to me, I promise to satisfy you," Mo Yun assured.
Chen Tianlong nodded. With Mo Yun’s assurance and Han Zhiming as the insider, the Mo Family was basically under his control, so he wasn’t too worried.
After leaving the Mo Family, Chen Tianlong called Wang Dahua to learn about the recent situation of the Xu Family. From Wang Dahua, he learned that the Xu Family and the Black Alliance had fewer activities recently, and apparently, the situation seemed a bit grim. He heard that Hao Shuai also went to Black Alliance City.
Upon hearing this news, Chen Tianlong furrowed his brows. What exactly was happening with the Black Alliance, even Hao Shuai went there. So, Chen Tianlong directly called Xu Wei.
"Hey, boss, what’s up?"
Xu Wei answered the phone, getting straight to the point.
"Xu Wei, tell me the recent news about the Hao Family. I heard Hao Shuai went to the Black Alliance, do you know?" Chen Tianlong asked directly.
"Huh? No, according to Prophet Xu, Hao Shuai just went out for business," Xu Wei honestly disclosed.
Upon hearing this, Chen Tianlong furrowed his brows. This was certainly a cover by the Hao Family. If they were openly doing business, it was fine, but if it’s deceitful, then Hao Shuai must have a major conspiracy.
"Any other insider news?" Chen Tianlong casually inquired.
"Insider news, let me think... Oh right, Prophet Xu went out a few days ago, apparently to various sects around the South Sea. I don’t know what he’s doing!"
"Oh? Is this true?" Chen Tianlong picked up on something fishy.
"Well, that’s indeed true," Xu Wei said.
"Alright, I got it. You stay at the Hao Family, after a while, I’ll bring you over to the company to help out, hiring you at a high salary," Chen Tianlong began to offer incentives.
"Haha, thanks, Chen,"
After hanging up the phone, Chen Tianlong already felt the situation was tense. However, he didn’t want to deal with it right now. The most important thing was solving the herbal raw materials issue.
It was initially believed that Hao Shuai was the mastermind, and since he went to the Black Alliance, he could only go there in a few days.
Around two in the afternoon, as Chen Tianlong just returned to the villa, he received a call from Lin Wushuang, saying Mr. Chen wanted to take them to that mysterious family to clarify the marriage matter.
Both of them decided that, no matter what, they would insist on breaking off the engagement.
Around half-past two, Chen Tianlong drove to the Lin Family Mansion, at this time, Mo Jing happened to come out, thinking Chen Tianlong was going out to play without her, she directly blocked the car.
"Brother, where are you going to play, how come you didn’t take Xiaojing," Mo Jing pouted and said.
"Haha, today I’m going with Wushuang to a place, Xiaojing, you just stay at home and accompany Sister Bingshuang and Sister Liu Ting, I’ll be back soon."
"No, I’m going too. It’s so boring at home," Mo Jing refused to give in.
Looking at his adorable sister, Chen Tianlong had no choice but to let her in the car. Mo Jing smiled triumphantly, and the two started driving to the Lin Family.
They arrived at the Lin Family quickly, and Lin Batian and Lin Wushuang had already prepared everything and brought several gifts. After all, when you’re trying to inquire about things and meet villagers, it’s only polite; otherwise, no one would want to help you.
Soon, the two got into the car, and Mo Jing remained in the front passenger seat, Lin Wushuang didn’t mind because Mo Jing was just too cute.
"Alright, Mr. Lin, where exactly are we going?" Chen Tianlong prepared to drive, wanting to clarify the route.
"Sanketan Town, Lotus Village!"
"What?"
Hearing that, Chen Tianlong and Mo Jing both froze. Isn’t that their hometown? So, the mysterious family Lin Batian mentioned was also in their village?
"What’s wrong, Chen Tianlong?" Lin Batian was also puzzled, seeing the strong reactions from the two.
Although Lin Batian knew the mysterious family also had the surname Nie, there were many people with the surname Nie, not just Chen Tianlong’s family. The most important thing was, the old man said it was quite a powerful family, unlike Chen Tianlong, an orphan.
"Mr. Lin, Lotus Village is where my family lives," Mo Jing explained.
"Oh? Right, haha, turns out you’re in the same village as that family, I just found out," Lin Batian laughed wryly.
"So, Mr. Lin, do you know what that family’s name is?"
"Their Patriarch seems to be named Chen Feng, yes, Chen Feng, I’ve heard he was quite famous back then, but later on..."
"Chen Feng?"
Chen Tianlong was taken aback. He heard this name too often, and he even asked Old Chen before, but Old Chen didn’t clarify, and Chen Tianlong didn’t want to press further.
"Yes, you’re from Lotus Village, you should have heard of this person, right?" Lin Batian asked.
Chen Tianlong scratched his head, obviously a bit embarrassed, and said, "Honestly, I don’t know, but it seems Old Chen knows something. How about we go to my place first, maybe she knows something."
"Alright, then,"
Lin Batian hesitated for a moment but quickly agreed.
But on the side, Lin Wushuang didn’t think the same. Now, going to Chen Tianlong’s place would be like meeting the parents, this happiness came too fast, Lin Wushuang hadn’t prepared well.
"Dad, when meeting Mr. Chen, what should I say, I’m... I’m a bit nervous," Lin Wushuang blushed and said, somewhat shyly.
"Haha, you’re nervous about meeting the parents. Since you have to meet them anyway, why not do it now? I can skip the formalities and discuss the two families’ matters with Mr. Chen," Lin Batian laughed.
"Oh dear, Dad, I’m nervous and you keep talking. I’m not speaking to you anymore," Lin Wushuang’s pretty face blushed again, bowing her head and not speaking.
"Haha..."
Accompanied by hearty laughter, Chen Tianlong started the car and rushed towards Lotus Village.
Meanwhile, something major happened in South Sea City.
Within the War Wolf Assassin Group.
"Ming Dao, Guangzu, I’ve recently grasped the opportunity for a breakthrough and plan to cultivate in seclusion to achieve Great Perfection. During these days, you must protect me well. No matter what happens, you cannot disturb me, or I might experience demonic possession, even sudden death," Ye Feng emphasized again.
"Don’t worry, Master, we will definitely protect you."
Ming Dao spoke, but a trace of coldness flashed on his face.
"Yes, with me and Senior Brother here, you can focus on your breakthrough. Besides, the War Wolf Assassin Group’s terrain is perilous, with many traps; entering is not easy!" Wu Guangzu analyzed.
"True, but caution is the parent of safety. This is my father’s most critical moment; there can’t be any sloppiness," Ye Feng advised again, then began walking into the cave, a place where the Heaven and Earth Spiritual Qi was relatively abundant.
However, not long after everyone turned away, Ming Dao took out his mobile phone and dialed a number.
