Regardless of what others thought, the three of them chatted enthusiastically, spitting as they spoke, completely oblivious to everyone else, until the car came to a sudden stop and they finally got out and returned to the long-missed Jiangdong City.
However, as soon as Li Yang got out of the car, he received some very shocking news.
Lu Da and Tie Dan met Li Yang and his group at the pick-up point, but they were fully armed and on guard, with more than a dozen henchmen who seemed to be watching them closely.
"What's going on?" Li Yang asked, frowning.
"Boss, something's happened. A powerful force has suddenly appeared recently, and they've swept away the leaders of those areas with ease. Even those areas we didn't take action against until things calmed down have been subdued by that mysterious force!" Tie Dan said solemnly.
"Really? Okay, I understand. You take them back first." Li Yang pointed to Ye Qiu, Lin Ke, Cao Xin, and Gao Qingmei.
“But, boss, you…” Luda said worriedly.
"Don't worry, I'm not afraid of them!" Li Yang narrowed his eyes, already guessing what was going on, knowing that he was facing an unprecedented crisis.
However, he has never been afraid of anyone. Since he gained superpowers and martial arts skills and recognized a master, his combat power and strength have skyrocketed. He is full of fighting spirit and has never been afraid of anyone!
Cao Xin and Gao Qingmei also sensed the unusual atmosphere. Without saying a word or even acting cute, they obediently allowed Tie Dan and his dozen or so men to escort them back.
"Li Yang, just ask if you need anything, and I'll take care of it without hesitation!" Ye Qiu said.
"Yes, even though I'm... something else, I'm still a hot-blooded man, not afraid of bleeding!" Link, the virgin, said defiantly.
"I know you're tough, so just ask if you need anything!" Li Yang chuckled, showing no sign of nervousness.
"Okay!" The two of them left as well.
Li Yang didn't go back to the high-speed rail station to report, nor was he required to do so; Cao Xin and Gao Qingmei would report back after they returned.
"Did you set up the Shadow Group that I asked you to set up?" Li Yang asked Lu Da.
“That’s about it. We have people lurking in every corner of this city!” Luda said coldly, narrowing his eyes.
“Very good. We are the only ones in Jiangdong City. Now that the Shadow Group has been successfully established, let’s immediately begin operations and thoroughly investigate the backgrounds and origins of these people. A reminder: pay close attention to anyone connected to the Fan family in Beijing!” Li Yang said.
"The Fan family of the capital?" Lu Da was shocked. That family was even more powerful than the Zhu family, and almost everyone with some background knew about it.
“Yes. This trip to the capital led to conflicts with them, irreconcilable conflicts!” Li Yang nodded.
"So, it's going to be a fight to the death?" Lu Da said coldly, a murderous aura emanating from his body.
“That’s right. Let’s start with the Fan family this time. The Zhu family is just a piece of cake!” Li Yang said without any fear, his voice calm and composed, without the slightest hint of nervousness.
"Hehe, boss, here's the information for the remaining districts!" Lu Da smiled mysteriously and handed Li Yang a stack of documents.
"Oh? Good, not bad! You've improved!" Li Yang said approvingly, taking the documents.
"Hehe, it's all thanks to Sister Su's excellent teaching!" Lu Da chuckled.
"Oh? Little one? You've grown up quite quickly. Not bad." Li Yang nodded slightly and got into the car. The driver was also a member of the Bagua Sect, skilled in driving and with a fierce expression.
Li Yang lowered his head and slowly flipped through the documents, but the more he flipped through them, the faster he went. In just a few minutes, he finished flipping through a thick stack of documents. He placed them in his palm, rubbed them slightly, and gave them a gentle shake. The stack of documents shattered into pieces and flew away.
“Based on the data analysis, let’s start with the daytime area. Is the Night Glory venue protected by someone called Black Tiger? Is he the most outrageous? Does he have the most ruthless and lawless underlings with no bottom line?” Li Yang said, squinting his eyes.
“Yes. That’s what the information says. We had two members of the Shadow Team lying in ambush there. We got firsthand information!” Lu Da nodded.
"Drive to Dafabet Casino! How's the martial arts gym doing lately?" Li Yang asked.
“Great, quite a few people have signed up!” Luda said.
"Is someone trying to take advantage of the situation? We can let people into their territory, and they'll definitely do the same!" Li Yang pondered.
"Yes. What the boss said makes a lot of sense. I'll keep that in mind!" Lu Da's forehead immediately broke out in a cold sweat. How could he not have thought of that? He was just too happy to see so many people signing up.
"Intelligence, many wars are fought with intelligence. Intelligence almost determines the outcome of a war. Our enemy has the background of the behemoth Fan family, so we must treat them with utmost care!" Li Yang said in a deep voice.
"Understood. Boss, I'll be careful!" Luda bowed and accepted the instruction.
"But don't be nervous. Even a powerful dragon can't suppress a local snake. No matter how powerful the Fan family is, if they dare to challenge us in Jiangdong City, they're digging their own grave and courting death!" Li Yang suddenly laughed, a very bright laugh.
"Old Master, you're invincible!" Luda immediately flattered him.
"Damn it, who did you learn that from?" Li Yang cursed.
"Isn't that what everyone says?" Luda chuckled dryly.
"Why did you park?" Li Yang suddenly frowned.
"Boss, there's a traffic accident ahead!" the driver said, turning around.
"A traffic accident? What happened?" Li Yang frowned. The situation was urgent, and no situation could be ignored.
"Luda, go down and take a look!" Li Yang ordered.
"Yes!" Luda drove off.
A moment later, he climbed back into the car, his face flushed with excitement.
"You saw a pretty girl's butt? You're so excited?" Li Yang teased.
"Hehe...more or less, a hot babe!" Luda said, licking his lips.
"Where did you go?" Li Yang asked, frowning.
“Yes, boss, I was wrong. But one of the people involved is a hot woman, her breasts are huge, but big is tolerable. The key is that she's very open-minded!” Luda gestured to his chest.
"It's late autumn now. Although I'm immune to heat and cold, most people are already cold wearing just a shirt and need to wear a coat. How dare she expose most of her breasts?" Li Yang narrowed his eyes, activated his X-ray vision, and looked through the front of the car and the crowd at the source of the commotion.
