C125 Ning Que You Are Going too Far!

"Master Yin, these four individuals are the secret guards of the Wen Family, led by Wen Nine. He's the only one privy to a wealth of information," Yu Zecheng stated earnestly. "Wen Nine is a key figure among the Wen Family's secret guards. He revealed that this operation was commanded by the head of the secret guards, Wen Tianjiao."

"The situation is straightforward. My people were detected while investigating Wen Tianfeng, which led the Wen Family to me. Wen Tianjiao dispatched this group to discipline me, aiming to draw you out," Yu Zecheng explained with clarity. "Wen Tianjiao isn't overly concerned with this affair; he assumes I'm acting on orders from a prominent family in Imperial City. They're trying to uncover the full story."

Lin Yin nodded slightly, his deductions aligning with the account.

"What significant intelligence did Wen Nine share about the Wen Family?" Lin Yin inquired.

Yu Zecheng paused before responding, "Wen Nine mentioned that several powerful entities back the Wen Family, though he's unaware of their identities. He's only encountered them once, claiming that the liaison could overpower him single-handedly."

"Moreover, he disclosed frequented locations of Wen Tianfeng and Wen Tianjiao," Yu Zecheng continued with a grave tone. "Wen Nine is to report back to Wen Tianjiao and Wen Tianfeng. The time and place for their next assignment is tomorrow night at eight, in Supreme Room 888 at Diyang Wu City."

"Excellent," Lin Yin nodded, speaking with gravity. "Remain out of sight until eight o'clock tomorrow evening. Have all your men stay inside Zecheng Building and avoid exposure."

"I understand," Yu Zecheng nodded respectfully, grasping Master Yin's intent to apprehend Wen Tianfeng and Wen Tianjiao in one fell swoop.

With Wen Nine's group now captured and the news contained, Wen Tianjiao remains oblivious to the current predicament.

"Master Yin, is there anything I can assist you with? I, too, wish to contribute to this matter," Yu Zecheng offered.

Yu Zecheng was driven by a desire for vengeance. Wen Nine had brought him considerable hardship. Now that they were poised to strike at the Wen Family, he was determined to stand with Master Yin and bring them down once and for all, or else he'd be forced to abandon his enterprise and flee abroad.

Lin Yin tapped the wooden table lightly, his gaze profound.

"I'll arrange some tasks for you," Lin Yin stated firmly. "Prepare yourself. You'll need to oversee a family enterprise in Imperial City for me."

Yu Zecheng's eyes gleamed with excitement as he looked at Lin Yin in disbelief.

He understood Master Yin's intention – he was planning to take down the Wen Family in one decisive move.

"I will follow Master Yin's instructions," Yu Zecheng declared respectfully.

Lin Yin gave a slight nod.

He had already formulated a plan to swiftly dismantle the Wen Family's influence in Imperial City.

He intended not only to eradicate the Wen Family but also to support Yu Zecheng's rise in Imperial City.

The Wen Family was more complicated than it appeared.

In Lin Yin's view, the Wen Family might simply be puppets for some hidden forces.

Just like Yu Zecheng, Jiang Qi, and Shen San, they were merely his pawns.

The power lurking behind the Wen Family was beyond his wildest imagination.

Lin Yin then issued his orders to Yu Zecheng.

Filled with fiery zeal, Yu Zecheng left the office and immediately began mobilizing his people, setting in motion a series of actions. He was ready to follow Master Yin and make a move that would send shockwaves through Imperial City the next day.

In East Sea Province, Qingyun City.

At the Wang Hotel, in the grand hall on the twenty-fifth floor.

Among the many tables in the vast hall, only one was occupied.

Wu Yang stood respectfully next to a young man exuding an air of distinction.

He was Ning Que, the helmsman of the Ning's Group from the Eastern Sea.

Sitting across from Ning Que was a middle-aged man with a dignified and elegant demeanor, dressed in a well-tailored suit and smiling warmly.

"Wang Chengqian, Boss Wang, regarding the issue with Zhang's Jewelry Group, it was Wang Guokang I had a problem with. I'm not sure why you felt the need to intervene on his behalf," Ning Que spoke calmly. "Wang Guokang had the audacity to blatantly encroach on the Ning family's assets. I won't let this go easily, and even if the Wang Family wants to intercede for him, I won't forgive Wang Guokang."

Ning Que's visit was to address the incident of Wang Guokang and his son ousting Wu Yang from the company – a matter of great importance, as it was an assignment from the first elder himself. He had to take it seriously.

"Director Ning, if it were just a minor issue, I wouldn't have bothered to arrange this meeting," Wang Chengqian said with a smile, then his tone shifted. "However, Director Ning, don't you think your methods are a bit too extreme?"

Wang Chengqian initially had no interest in meddling with the affairs of Wang Guokang and his son. However, when the family patriarch issued a command, he had no choice but to get involved.

He found it quite odd, actually. Wang Guokang and his son were notorious for their misdeeds, seemingly unaware of their own limits. Chengqian had always looked down on them. Yet, Ning Que's retaliation seemed excessively harsh this time. He had rendered Wang Guokang and his son infertile, beating them into a state of confusion.

Upon witnessing the dreadful condition of Wang Guokang and his son, Chengqian was deeply shocked. He could hardly bear to look at them; their plight was truly pitiable.

He quickly moved to suppress any news of the incident, so the events that transpired at Precious Cauldron Tower involving Wang Guokang and his son remained undiscovered.

"My methods are too severe?" Ning Que scoffed, puzzled by the accusation. "Chief Wang, let me be clear: my approach has been more than lenient! After all, it was your Wang Family that first stepped out of line."

It seemed they were increasingly underestimating the Ning family of Donghai.

"I'm warning you, within 24 hours, you must relinquish all shares of Zhang's Jewelry Group," Ning Que stated firmly. "Otherwise, I will start imposing sanctions on the Wang Family, and I won't hesitate to spend whatever it takes."

Wang Chengqian's brow furrowed slightly; he couldn't fathom why Ning Que was so incensed. He had already punished Wang Guokang and his son, yet Ning Que remained unforgiving. Today, he had arranged to meet with Ning Que, but Ning Que was still intent on holding the Wang Family accountable.

"The Ning's Group of the Eastern Sea certainly carries a lot of clout!" an aged, robust voice chimed in.

A white-haired elder sat in a wheelchair, flanked by two suit-clad bodyguards.

"Mr. Wang, what brings you here?" Ning Que inquired, respectfully addressing the senior Wang, though puzzled as to why the old man would intervene in such a trivial matter.

Old Master Wang Chengdao had long since withdrawn from the affairs of the world. During the founding of Dragon Country, he had stepped down from his influential role in East Sea Province. His connections ran deep, not only with the prominent families of Imperial City but also with the venerable elders of the Ning Family.

Therefore, despite Ning Que being a direct descendant of the Ning Clan, he was still expected to show deference to Wang Chengdao.

"Why am I here?" Wang Chengdao scoffed coldly. "If I hadn't intervened, would you have gone so far as to wipe out the Wang Family? You're far too audacious. Even your father, who once served under me in his youth, never dared to be as brazen as you!"

"Mr. Wang, I'm at a loss. I don't understand what you're implying," Ning Que responded.
