n, you agreed..." 。but in the end, it all comes down to you saying that you're in some death desert with no time to spare."Besides, there was once when we were camping on the African savanna. You sai...Chapter 155: Devil! (Part 1) (1/2)

Hong Jiu had seen Ye Junlang, though only through some photos or something like that. He was so against Ye Junlang, it's impossible to say he hadn't seen some photos of Ye Junlang.

Now, the face in front of him was exactly the same as the photos of Ye Junlang he had seen before!

But how is that possible

Shouldn't Ye Junlang have fallen into the numerous traps set by Jin Lin and his men at this time

How did he get here

This left Hong Jiu utterly shocked. His face contorted in disbelief, as if he had seen a ghost. A sudden thought struck him, and a wave of icy dread surged from his feet, spreading throughout his entire body.

"Yes, I am Ye Junlang, the very Ye Junlang you've been trying so hard to get rid of!"

Ye Junlang spoke, his tone calm yet remarkably indifferent.

Hong Jiu was startled in his heart, and he hurriedly said, "Misunderstanding, misunderstanding! Mr. Ye, this is completely a misunderstanding! How could I have the idea of getting rid of Mr. Ye This is something that has never happened to me personally. It must be my subordinates who acted without discretion when acting, which led to such a misunderstanding. I can guarantee that those who offended Mr. Ye before will definitely be severely punished, even if Mr. Ye wants to punish them in any way."

Ye Junlang smiled faintly, and said calmly, "Misunderstanding Is that really the case Then what about the actions of your men tonight Did they act on their own Did they act independently to kidnap my sister and lead me to Yunfeng Mountain, setting up layers of traps and killing opportunities, ready to surround and kill me Are you saying this was the actions of your subordinates acting without your knowledge, that you knew nothing about it"

As soon as these words were uttered, Hong Jiu's face completely changed.

When Ye Junlang appeared here, Hong Jiu had already guessed something. Until Ye Junlang said those words, he confirmed his guess—Jin Lin and the others had failed!

Ye Junlang's appearance here already proves that Jin Lin and his men's operation tonight was a failure. Even Jin Lin and the people he brought have become cold corpses!

This explains why, even after such a long time, there has been no news from Jinlin's side.

This made Hong Jiuxiao's hands and feet turn ice cold, a chill spreading throughout his body. He felt like he was falling into an ice cave, his mind blank.

He couldn't have dreamed that the seemingly foolproof operation would end in failure. It was even more shocking that Jin Lin, the mastermind behind this operation and a powerful martial artist at the sixth rank of Mingjing, was killed

It's unimaginable!

Hong Jiu really couldn't believe it, but Ye Junlang was standing right in front of him, alive and well. There was no room for doubt.

"Hong Jiu is also an old fox. After he came to his senses, he hurriedly said, "Ye, Mr. Ye, I really had no idea about what happened tonight... Someone kidnapped your sister Are you sure it was my Nine Dragons Society If it really is, I will definitely investigate thoroughly and severely punish the culprits. I will definitely give Mr. Ye an explanation!"

“That's not necessary. I’ve already given those people a good explanation—death!” Ye Junlang spoke, his voice slow and measured. “Whether I was pretending to be stupid or doing something else, since I’m here now, I’m settling accounts for tonight and everything that happened before. From Zhang Biao’s gang incident, to the poison-eyed man’s attempted murder, and tonight's trap, you people from the Nine Dragons Society have repeatedly tried to kill me. What do you think I should demand an explanation for”

Hong Jiu took a deep breath. He heard the meaning behind Ye Junlang's casual words. As long as Ye Junlang was willing to negotiate with him, he felt relieved. What he feared most was that Ye Junlang wouldn't discuss any terms with him.

"Mr. Ye, I am truly sorry that these things have happened. To be honest with you, I have been gradually withdrawing from the management of the Kowloon Society for the past three years and basically no longer deal with its affairs. All the big and small matters of the Kowloon Society are handled by my subordinates. If, as Mr. Ye said, so many things have happened, then I am really very sorry." Hong Jiu spoke up, his voice full of emotion, sounding sincere. He changed his tone and continued, "But for these things to happen, I definitely bear some responsibility. It was my failure to control my subordinates well. Therefore, Mr. Ye, whatever compensation you need, whatever conditions you require, please just speak up, and I will definitely do my best to fulfill them!"

Ye Junlang smiled, he even felt his own face was thick enough, but compared to Hong Jiu, his own face was simply as thin and tender as that of a newborn baby.

Ye Junlang was still controlling Hong Jiu's body. He said in a calm voice, "It seems that the Dragon Lord of the Nine Dragons Society is still a straightforward person. Alright, since you are so sincere, you can agree to any condition. Then I have only one condition: where is the secret passage behind this bookshelf I'm very curious about what secrets are hidden behind it."

As soon as these words were spoken, Hong Jiu's face changed drastically. However, the shrewd and cunning Hong Jiu quickly regained his composure and smiled, saying, "Mr. Ye, you're overthinking it. This is just an ordinary bookshelf. How could there be anything like a secret passage"

"You can fool others with this, but you can't fool me." Ye Junlang

Chapter 155 Demon! (1/2)

"Opening his eyes, he met Hong Jiu’s gaze. His eyes were deep and still, yet seemed to pierce through Hong Jiu’s very thoughts. He continued, “I’ve received special training from the intelligence agency, so I could immediately tell if there was anything amiss with the bookshelf in your study.”

"Mr. Ye, this is just an ordinary bookshelf. There's nothing mysterious about it. You're overthinking things..." Hong Jiu remained calm, saying with a fake smile,

"Is that so Then let's see, shall we Let's take a look and see if there are any hidden secrets in your bookcase." Ye Junlang said.

During their conversation, Ye Junlang had been meticulously observing the two rows of bookshelves. Soon, he noticed something unusual: a book on a shelf in the middle of the right bookshelf protruded slightly more than the others of the same size, looking out of place.

Ye Junlang dragged Hong Jiu over, reached out and took down all the books from that grid. Even as he did so, he saw a cleverly concealed hidden mechanism within.

"Hong Jiu, this isn't the 玄關, what is it then"

Ye Junlang smiled ambiguously.

Hong Jiu's face turned ashen at this moment, the last sliver of hope he had clung to vanished without a trace.

Ye Junlang was too lazy to look at Hong Jiu's reaction. He reached out and pressed the switch for this threshold, then—

Click! Click!

That was the sound of gears turning, and then, he saw the entire bookshelf moving, shifting towards the wall on the right side until it came to a stop. Immediately, a space about a meter wide opened up on the left side.

Ye Junlang walked over and took a look. The exposed space was indeed another world, with a safe embedded inside.

And this is also a fingerprint-recognition safe, requiring no password or key. Your fingerprint is the only password needed. As long as your fingerprint matches, it can be opened instantly. Compared to the old mechanical safes, it saves time and effort, and security is greatly improved.

"It seems you're not being honest. Your words are insincere. Are you deceiving me Even everything you said before I hate deception, especially when it's directed at me. I get angry, and the consequences can be severe." Ye Junlang narrowed his eyes, his blade pressing harder against Hong Jiu's neck, drawing a thin line of blood.

Upon seeing this, cold sweat immediately beaded on Hong Jiu's forehead. His face turned as pale as death, and a flicker of fear crossed his eyes. He stammered, "Mr. Ye, I was wrong, I really was wrong! I only concealed the truth about this matter; everything else has been honest and upfront. Please, Mr. Ye, give me another chance. I guarantee I will cooperate with you in every way. Whatever you need, I can provide it without reservation! From now on, I will also issue orders throughout the Kowloon Association, ensuring that we never again offend Mr. Ye in any way. As long as Mr. Ye has any requests, the Kowloon Association will certainly do everything in its power to help."

"You've said so much, haven't you All because you're afraid I'll open this safe and peer into its secrets The more you act like this, the more intrigued I become." Ye Junlang chuckled, glancing at the safe. "A fingerprint-activated safe Then it's all the simpler."

Saying that, Ye Junlang forcefully extended Hong Jiu's finger and pressed it.

At first, Hong Jiu was unwilling and resisted fiercely. However, after Ye Junlang twisted his shoulder blade, Hong Jiu's arms immediately went limp and tingled, rendering him powerless.

Finally, when Hong Jiu pressed down on the thumb of his right hand, the safe opened, revealing stacks and stacks of files.

Some files have already turned yellow, obviously they are quite a few years old.

It can be concluded that these files are very important, otherwise they wouldn't be so secretly hidden by Hong Jiu in such a concealed safe.

Ye Junlang didn't hesitate and took out all those documents, placing them on the desk.

Ye Junlang casually flipped through some files. The content inside could be said to be shocking. File after file seemed to be stained with blood, emanating a feeling of extreme cruelty and intense bloodshed.

A document described that three years ago, Hong Jiu personally planned and carried out the assassination of a high-level executive of a certain company.

Also, Hong Jiu cooperated with some aristocratic families to use illegal means to disrupt the cash flow of some companies, and then took the opportunity to acquire them at low prices and gradually consume them.

Furthermore, there are detailed records of Hong Jiu using underground money houses to launder money for his Red Dragon Society and even some foreign forces.

As for some earlier documents, such as those that are yellowed with age, one document in particular records how Hong Jiu conspired to assassinate certain high-ranking figures of influence in Jianghai City back then in order to fight for territory and resources.

It can be said that on this thick pile of documents, every single one is related to a conspiracy, and every single one is stained with blood. Any evidence contained in these documents if discovered by the police, could sentence Hong Jiu to death.

With so many files, even if Hong Jiu had a thousand lives, it wouldn't be enough to serve his sentence!

"This is eye-opening! The famous Master Hong really lives up to his reputation as a hero. He's ruthless, cunning, and bloody!"
