Dragon King Palace: Urban Affluent Son-in-Law

Chen Peng has run away, and there's a high chance he's seeking refuge with his brother who's involved with the underworld. This could be a lead, or it might just be speculation.

To catch Chen Peng, Situ Yan even promptly contacted the action department in Su City for assistance.

Upon learning about the situation, the Su City action department expressed full support and immediately laid out careful plans to monitor Chen Peng.

Yet Jiang Feng was still not at ease, feeling it was necessary for him to personally go to Su City, at least to see Chen Peng and find out who bribed him from his own mouth.

"Can you help me book the fastest ticket to Su City?" Jiang Feng asked Situ Yan.

"I've already used internal connections to book two tickets. The train leaves in twenty minutes. Head to the train station as fast as you can; I'll meet you there," Situ Yan said decisively.

"Two tickets?" Jiang Feng frowned.

"I reported this matter to my superiors. They are taking it very seriously and have assigned me to solve this case. Initially, they wanted to send more people with me, but I figured just having you along would suffice," Situ Yan said earnestly.

Jiang Feng was speechless; clearly, it was his intention to help Fengming out of a tight spot, yet she was roping it into an official task.

However, with Situ Yan around, many things were indeed more convenient, so Jiang Feng didn't object further.

Putting down his phone, Jiang Feng said to Heizi, "While I'm away, the company is in your care. If Manager Nangong or Supervisor Bai have any news, inform me immediately."

"Got it, leave it to me, brother. Don't worry!" Heizi noted Jiang Feng's swift decisiveness and refrained from asking too many questions, replying quickly.

Jiang Feng left the security office, hailed a cab, and headed straight to the train station to meet Situ Yan.

As expected, Situ Yan was already waiting at the automatic ticket dispenser, having changed into travel attire—a tight white T-shirt that accentuated her stunning figure and paired with ultra-short denim shorts that highlighted her vibrant, long white legs. She wore efficient sneakers, her delicate waist and graceful curves drawing attention as she formed the most striking view amidst the bustling waiting hall.

"Here's your ticket. Just get on the train later," Situ Yan walked over and handed a ticket to Jiang Feng.

Jiang Feng took the ticket and saw that it was a seat next to hers.

"By the way, when you came just now, did you feel like anyone was following you?" Situ Yan suddenly asked.

Hmm?

Jiang Feng frowned; on the way here, he was focused on the trip south and hadn't noticed, so he asked, "What's up?"

"Nothing, I just kept feeling like someone was trailing me since I left South City, but when I looked back, I found nothing," Situ Yan shook her head. "Maybe I'm overthinking it, being too sensitive."

Hearing this, Jiang Feng immediately turned to glance at the crowded and noisy waiting hall but saw nothing due to the overwhelming chaos.

"Let's go; the train will be arriving soon," Situ Yan shrugged and was the first to enter the platform.

...

North City.

In the Rongsheng Haoting Villa, Mr. Scar had just finished his lunch and was picking his teeth with a toothpick.

Ah Bin approached with a phone respectfully saying, "Big brother, new development: that guy Jiang and Situ Yan have both left South City and are now at the train station, preparing to head south to Su City."

"Why are they suddenly going to Su City?" Mr. Scar asked, puzzled.

"That hasn't been figured out yet, but it's confirmed they're going to Su City together. I'm wondering if we should notify the Han Family or Young Master Yan?" Ah Bin inquired.

"No need!" Mr. Scar shook his head. "This counts as a sudden event, a change in plans. No need to alert the enemy. Other than Chu Renxiong, these two annoy me the most, and now they're together. Truly a heaven-sent opportunity!"

Ah Bin had a revelation and immediately understood: "Should I have the guys take action now? The two of them have probably already boarded the train. I can select a few smart and capable ones to take the next train and act when they get to Su City?" Ah Bin asked.

"No need. Don't forget that Jiang Feng is of master-level capability; sending ordinary hands over there is just throwing lives away, and we only have a few master-level experts. We should not act rashly," Mr. Scar contemplated.

He couldn't bear to risk those experts; if anything went wrong, the loss would be irreparable. Moreover, with Jiang Feng and Situ Yan far in Su City, if anything went amiss, sending reinforcements would be impossible—too risky.

"Then, what about sending out that old guy? He has to do something useful, right?" Ah Bin, recalling the rude law enforcer of the Tianyin Sect, suggested with disdain: "That old guy is like a reincarnated lecher. I heard last night, at 999, he wore out those twin girls to the point they couldn't get out of bed, squeezing them dry; we can't just support him for nothing."

"No need for a sledgehammer to kill a chicken, and he won't be useful," Mr. Scar shook his head in refusal.

Ah Bin fell silent, knowing his elder brother must have someone suitable in mind since he rejected both ideas.

"Ah Bin, don't forget, besides us, there are others who despise those two as much as we do!" As expected, Mr. Scar coldly smiled, "Why don't we play another game of borrowing a knife to kill? No bloodshed!"

Ah Bin suddenly realized and immediately flattered, "Big brother, you're wise!"

Mr. Scar pulled out a secure satellite phone, dialing an international number. He then smiled and said, "Ta Kun, my dear friend, how are you?"

"Old Scar in China, how dare you call me?" Came a voice full of hostility and darkness from the other end of the line: "I asked you to investigate my brother Tasha's mysterious disappearance. Do you have results for me yet?"

"Of course, without good news, how dare I, a lowly person, call you, the heir of the Heigu Group?"

Mr. Scar, not one to beat around the bush, said with a light smile, "After my investigations over this period, I can almost certainly tell you that your brother died at the hands of a guy named Jiang Feng. And this Jiang Feng has a close relationship with the female action officer who previously captured your third brother, Talai! So, in essence, these two are responsible for your grievances. As long as they are eliminated, you will have avenged your brothers." Mr. Scar calmly explained.

Up till now, Mr. Scar didn't have concrete evidence to prove that the one who saved Situ Yan in the warehouse was Jiang Feng, but what did it matter? As long as he could divert trouble away from himself and shift the animosity towards Jiang Feng, that was enough, making Jiang Feng the perfect scapegoat.

"Jiang Feng? Where is this person now? Still in Binhai?" Ta Kun asked coldly.

"No! You may not believe it, but he is currently with that female action officer, traveling together to Su City in China! So—my dear friend, if I reveal their whereabouts to you, I'm sure with your capabilities, you can certainly do something about it, right?" Mr. Scar inquired with a smile.

"Old Scar in China, consider yourself clever, or else my father is contemplating venting his anger on you! Your timing couldn't be better with this call, or your good days would soon end!"

"Give my regards to Chairman Tarsen. By the way, a friendly reminder: Jiang Feng has master-level strength, so be careful with your people, and it's best not to send fools, or that'll just be giving away lives for free," Mr. Scar nonchalantly added.

"Don't worry about that, we at the Heigu Group have experts aplenty; what's a master-level expert in comparison? There are plenty who can crush him! Send me pictures of him and that female action officer later, and I guarantee they're on a countdown to their demise!"

"Alright!"

Ending the call, Mr. Scar instructed Ah Bin to find a few photos of Jiang Feng and Situ Yan and send them to Ta Kun. Then he stood up, walked to the window, looked towards the south, and coldly smiled, "Jiang, and that bitch, it's a pity, but you're not coming back..."
