Chapter 136: Borrowing a Tiger's Power to Leave the Mountain

  Lyu Yang returned to his own compartment, and Xu Qiye was staring at the screen in a daze, with an uncertain expression on his face, on the verge of exploding at any moment.

  Xu Guangda was indeed very embarrassed, as the seventh elder of the Hongmen, he couldn't even take out this little money, and could only watch as one after another of the world's most precious items slipped away from his eyes.

  The history of the Hongmen can be traced back to the White Lotus Society during the Song Dynasty, and later the anti-Qing pro-Ming organizations during the Qing Dynasty, the Xinhai Revolution at the end of the Qing Dynasty, as well as various disturbances that followed, all of which had a close relationship with the Hongmen.

  However, after the founding of the Huaxia country, the surname quality of the Hongmen also gradually changed. Now, people in the Hongmen have transformed into entrepreneurs or politicians. Although they are still called Hongmen, in reality, the internal structure of the Hongmen has become fragmented. In this era where money is supreme, whoever makes more money is the boss. Therefore, many small-time figures in the Hongmen, due to their business success, actually hold a lot of power within the organization. On the other hand, Xu Guangda and his fellow senior members of the Hongmen, because they are not skilled at doing business and do not engage in politics, have gradually been marginalized. Although people in the Hongmen still show them respect on the surface, they ignore their orders and secretly disobey them.

  However, when Xu Guangda asked his fellow disciples for a loan of tens of millions, no one responded. Those who did respond were very prompt, but they didn't have the money to send over.

  Xu Guangda was furious, he really wanted to walk up and slap these bastards a few times. What's the use of making money? In this society, it's still about who has the real power. If it weren't for us old guys protecting the Hongmen, if it weren't for these younger brothers fighting and going to jail for the Hongmen, you business bastards wouldn't be so successful.

  Lyu Yang looked at Xu Guangda, whose face was gradually turning purple, and hastily said in a low voice: "Seventh Master, don't get angry first, I know how to retrieve this thousand-year-old Ice Chi again."

  "Huh?" Xu Guangda turned his head and stared at Lü Yang.

  Lü Yang said in a low voice: "Seventh Master, I just went to my grandfather's place and happened to see my grandfather and the others capturing this Ice Porcelain."

  "What? Is it your grandfather's auction?" Xǔ Guāngdá suddenly stood up, his killing intent spreading, a greedy cold smile appearing on his face.

  "Seventh Master, calm down, it wasn't my grandfather who did it, no," Lyu Yang hastily argued.

  Xu Guangda smiled and said, "Don't worry, Lü Yang, you've done a good job. I won't do anything to your grandfather. However, putting the thousand-year-old ice ginseng in his hands is really a waste, so I'll buy it back from him."

  Although it is said so, Xu Guangda has already made up his mind to seize the opportunity.

  "No, no, it wasn't my grandfather who bought it. It was Song Jian, the one who came with my grandfather, he took the photo."

  "Huh? Song Jian? Who is he? Is he very powerful?" Xu Guangda was stunned for a moment, and asked, "Which big group does he belong to?"

  "Going back to what Qiye said, Song Jian is not some big shot from a wealthy family, he's just a traditional Chinese medicine practitioner who knows a thing or two about medical skills and has some knowledge of Chinese medicinal herbs. I reckon he must have spent all his money to buy this Ice Porcelain," Lu Yang hastily said.

  "Oh, what's the relationship between Song Jian and your grandfather?" Xu Guangda asked with improved mood.

  "Back to Qi Ye, it's nothing, he was hired by my grandfather to keep an eye on things, and his salary is not low at all, one million a day," Lyu Yang said straightforwardly.

  "Hahaha! Heaven is helping me! This Lingyun Ice Chi is mine! As long as I get this Ice Chi, my kung fu will be able to advance further. At that time, those old turtles won't dare disobey me! Hmph!" Xu Guangda became excited, although he was one of the seven elders of the Hongmen, there were not many people who submitted to him, because his kung fu had only just entered the realm of inner energy and was much weaker than the other eight elders. If it weren't for Xu Guangda's broad vision, he wouldn't have even gotten the position of one of the seven elders of the Hongmen.

  "Xiao Lü, pack up your things. This time, I'll obtain the Lingyun Ice Pearl and immediately promote you to be the Hall Master of the Hongmen Society. At that time, in the entire Jinling City, who would still dare not obey you?" Xu Guangda threw out the bait.

  Lü Yang immediately nodded, packed up his things and said: "Seventh Master, are we leaving now? Not waiting for the auction to finish?"

  "Wait no more, let's go outside and wait for your grandfather and that Song Jian, as soon as we get the Ice Pearl, I can also rest assured."

  The old and young said as they walked out of the auction hall.

  "Huh?" Lü Yang was stunned for a moment, pointing to a stretched Lincoln in front of the auction hall and said, "That's my grandfather's car."

  "Your grandfather's car?" Xu Guangda furrowed his brow.

  ……

  At this time, Lü Feng, who was sitting in the back row of Lincoln's car, saw Lü Yang and Xu Guangda walking out of the exhibition hall. He was shocked in his heart. He didn't expect that what Song Jian said would really come true. The other party didn't wait for the auction to end before coming out, and it's likely that they were going to snatch the Ice Chi from Song Jian's hands.

  "This Lü Yang!" Lü Feng was annoyed in his heart, he raised his head and said to the driver in front of him: "Little Li, drive, speed up, go towards Beijing."

  "Yes!"

  The driver stepped on the gas pedal and the Lincoln accelerated with a "hum", then headed in another direction towards Gusu City, driving towards the capital.

  "Huh? Is Song Jian on that car?" Xu Guangda saw the Lincoln start and hummed a sentence to ask.

  "It's definitely there," Lyu Yang said with certainty. "Seventh Master, let's chase after it first. I'll call my grandfather to probe him."

  Xu Guangda and Lü Yang got into their Audi, with Lü Yang driving while following the Lincoln, and dialed Lü Feng's phone number.

  Lü Feng's phone is turned off.

  Lyu Yang threw down his phone and accelerated while saying, "My grandfather's gone dark, Seventh Grandfather, hold on tight, let's catch up to my grandfather first."

  The car roared and chased after Lü Feng's Lincoln.

  The Lincoln car was also speeding along very quickly, and once it got onto the highway, it was like a black leopard, not stopping at all as it sped forward.

  Xu Guangda narrowed his eyes, and as an old fox, he sensed that something was off.

  Picking up his mobile phone, Xu Guangda dialed a number.

  "Hey, Qi Ye, what are your instructions?" A chubby man's panting voice came from the phone, accompanied by a woman's humming sound.

  "Damn it, you know what to do in broad daylight, help me stop a car, a stretched Lincoln, heading towards your Huabei City, right on the highway, hurry! If that car gets away, I'll go to your place and hold you accountable!" Xǔ Guāngdá started with a loud scolding.

  "Alright, Seventh Master, you take care," said the voice on the phone. A fat man of over 200 pounds hung up the phone and got out of bed.

  A young woman with large earrings next to him stretched out her arm and wrapped it around Baozi's neck, "Baozi, where are you going? We're not done yet?"

  "Go, go, that damned old ghost wants me to stop a car," said the fatty with a face full of impatience, but also not daring to overly disobey Xu Guangda's orders.

  "Fat master, who else dares to order you around on this one mu and three fen of land?" The woman's voice was filled with coquetry as she swayed her plump breasts back and forth, continuously rubbing against Fatso's back. "Come on, let's finish up first."

  "Wait for me, I'll be back soon," the fat man pinched the woman's chest and quickly put on his clothes, then made a phone call to have someone drive him to the highway.

  Lü Feng sat silently in the Lincoln, he may not know any martial arts, but to get to his position and live to his age, he had seen many tricks of both the white and black ways.

  "Boss, we've already reached the border of Huaiyuan City. Once we pass this place, it's Hebei Province," said the driver beside him.

  Lü Feng murmured a response and then saw several cars parked in the distance ahead. Lü Feng knew that things were about to come to an end.

  He picked up the phone, turned it on, and Lu Feng dialed Song Jian's number.

  "Hey, I'm in Huaiyin City, I've been blocked," said Lv Feng, and then quickly hung up the phone and turned it off.

  At this time, Song Jian was sitting in a Toyota car, rushing quickly to Gusu City. The car was driving on the highway at a very fast speed. This Toyota car was temporarily dispatched by Lü Feng. After Song Jian left the auction venue, he quietly went around to the back of the venue and got into this Toyota car.

  Lü Feng got into his Lincoln and after seeing Lü Yang and Xu Guangda also leave the auction house, Lü Feng used a trick to lure away Xu Guangda.

  The stretched Lincoln slowed down and soon dozens of people in suits swarmed around.

  Lü Feng didn't panic, he slowly rolled down the window and looked at the fat man in front, saying: "What's going on?"

  Fatso did recognize Lü Feng. He was taken aback for a moment, then smiled and said: "It's nothing, you're Director Lü, I'm... oh, Seventh Brother is here."

  Behind them, the Audi car stopped, Lü Yang worried about his grandfather's safety and hurried over, Xu Guangda also followed, walking slowly.

  Xu Guang arrived, and Lü Feng got off the car, laughing loudly towards Xu Guang: "Seventh Master, hello! This grandson of mine is too mischievous, troubling you with so much trouble."

  Xu Guangda chuckled and said: "Brother Lü, you're being too serious. I actually like Yangyang a lot and was thinking of making him my successor."

  "It's an honor, thank you so much, Seventh Master," Lv Feng said with a humble tone.

  At this time, Lü Yang had already climbed onto the car and looked around. He ran down from the car and asked urgently: "Grandpa! Where is that kid Song Jian?"

  "Huh? Song Jian? He bought a stalk of ice bamboo and left." Lü Feng pretended to be unaware, with an innocent look on his face.

  "Why are you driving so fast? And why is your phone turned off?" Lü Yang felt hurt, he still hadn't guessed that his grandfather was intentionally helping Song Jian.

  "Lyusong! How dare you speak to your grandfather like that!" Xuguangda scolded Lyusong, then cupped his hands and said to Lyufeng: "Ah, in this case, our Hongmen has some grudges against Songjian. Since he's already returned to Gusu, it's quite presumptuous of us to disturb him this time. I think we'll definitely meet Songjian in the city of Gusu, haha!"

  Xu Guangda looked at Lü Feng and said with a forced smile, then beckoned to Lü Yang to get on the car and drove away.

  Lü Feng looked at Xu Guangda's back, suddenly feeling a wave of panic. Song Jian was just an ordinary person's child, this time, it's likely to be more bad than good, hopefully this old thing will only steal things and not hurt anyone's life.

  Lü Yang and Xu Guangda got on the car, the car started, Xu Guangda hummed a sound, saying: "Old thing! Play with me! I'll play you to death! Suzhou City? Hum, let me show you the power of Hongmen!"

  Humming, Xu Guangda took out his mobile phone, flipped through the phone book, and soon dialed a number.

  "Hey? Xiong San, didn't you always want to be the master of Jiangnan Tang's entrance hall? Help me out and I'll guarantee it for you at the next Master's Conference!"
