Du Kongting glanced at the young man and introduced him to Hei Biao, "Shaojie is the sole inheritor of Linxi Pool Leg Techniques in Qilu Province. His mastery of leg techniques is exquisite and truly superb, earning him the nickname 'Ghostly Legs Young Master' in Jianghu!"
"Ghostly Legs Young Master?" Hearing this title, Hei Biao's expression underwent a drastic change, and his figure shot up in alarm.
Though he was a crime syndicate boss, he was after all part of the Jianghu, and had a deep understanding of the remarkable tales and extraordinary individuals in today's Jianghu.
In the present Jianghu, dramatic changes were afoot and remarkable characters emerged in abundance; it was no longer the Jianghu of the past.
Now, with the development of the internet, the entire Martial Arts World had entered the information age. A rather detailed martial arts masters ranking, circulating online, had come into being.
This ranking comprised four parts: "Sun, Moon, Star, Chen," each listing martial artists of various levels. Among them, masters on the Sun list had the greatest strength, followed by the others.
As for the Sun, Moon, Star, Chen ranking lists, anyone from the Jianghu would be quite familiar with them.
Hei Biao had studied these extensively, and his surprise upon hearing the name 'Ghostly Legs Young Master' was precisely because he knew this name was included in the Chen List.
The Chen List, although being the last in strength among the four lists, was still not something ordinary Jianghu people could enter.
Although Tan Shaojie was ranked at the bottom among the Chen List masters, his cultivation had already reached the Initial Stage of the Innate Realm. Such formidable individuals were not only rare in the secular world but also as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns in the Jianghu.
No wonder this guy was so arrogant; turns out he had the capital to be so!
"So it's Tan Shaojie; I've heard much about you!"
Upon learning that Tan Shaojie was a master from the Chen List, Hei Biao immediately treated him with great respect, hastily clasping his hands in salute to show his reverence.
However, Tan Shaojie was utterly disdainful and contemptuous of his respectful gestures.
"Enough!"
Sensing the embarrassment on Hei Biao's face, Du Kongting waved his hand to signal him to sit down, and then said in a deep voice, "We are in extraordinary times. Ling Zhenfei is not an easy man to provoke, no matter how much you've lost this time, do not provoke him again!"
Having said that, Du Kongting turned to look at Tan Shaojie, who had been sitting still all along, and continued, "Headquarters has sent Shaojie here to accomplish a very important task! This matter is of utmost importance, and Hei Biao, you must support it at all costs and with all your efforts!"
"President Du, what matter... is so urgent?"
Seeing the grave expression on Du Kongting's face, Hei Biao couldn't help but feel a chill. The fact that Headquarters had sent even a Chen List master indicated that the issue was not to be underestimated.
"Let me tell it!"
At this moment, Tan Shaojie had already taken out a cigar, lit it, and after taking a puff, he spoke coldly, "Two days ago, an important person from headquarters was detained by Binyang police while passing through Binyang International Airport. My mission in infiltrating Binyang is to rescue this important person!"
"What? A key person from headquarters was captured?"
Upon hearing this, Hei Biao's complexion turned pale with shock, and he cried out, "How could such an important matter not have been heard by my side at all?"
"Hmph, Hei Biao, who do you think you are? You're just a gang leader; how could you possibly be informed?"
Upon hearing his words, Tan Shaojie let out a contemptuous snort and rolled his eyes several times, his expression full of disdain.
"This..."
Even Du Kongting felt that Tan Shaojie was indeed a bit too arrogant, but he was the man sent by Headquarters, and even he, the head of Binyang branch, didn't dare to offend him lightly.
After some thought, Du Kongting could only apologize with a smile to Hei Biao and comforted him warmly, "Hei Biao, the Binyang police force takes this case very seriously, and the news is absolutely sealed. Not to mention you don't know, even I have just received a notice from headquarters!"
"Ah! This..."
Upon hearing this, Hei Biao realized the seriousness of the situation. He pondered for a while before tentatively asking Du Kongting, "President Du, who is the high-ranking official from headquarters who was caught?"
"Uh, it's..."
Just as Du Kongting was about to answer, he was rudely interrupted by Tan Shaojie waving his hand and barking at Hei Biao, "Hei Biao, you just need to listen to my command and do your job. It's better not to know what you shouldn't."
"Yes! Yes!" Although Hei Biao was furious and his face turned an iron blue at Tan Shaojie's arrogance, he dared not fart more than necessary due to the other's status and strength, and could only repeatedly agree.
"Shaojie, the police have set such strict defenses this time. It will not be easy for us to rescue them! Do you have any specific rescue plan?"
At this moment, Du Kongting suddenly furrowed his brows and asked Tan Shaojie with concern.
As the head of the Binyang branch, Tan Shaojie, no matter how arrogant, did not dare to be too disrespectful to him.
At his words, however, a strange angle formed at the corner of Tan Shaojie's mouth as he spoke in a chillingly cold tone, "I have five masters under my command, and I have already issued an order to gather them. They will arrive in Binyang to meet with me within three days, and then we will discuss the specific rescue plan."
After speaking, his sharp gaze turned and swept over Du Kongting and Hei Biao, and he said in a tone that brooked no doubt, "As for your tasks... you just need to find out the police's exact detention location within these three days..."
Li Ermeng's capability to get things done was really not for show.
Ling Zhenfei asked him to gather farmworkers for himself, and in just three days, he managed to recruit a group of skilled and diligent farmers.
Not only that, but he also took the initiative to contact local construction crews, brought in excavators to do extensive developmental plowing of the land at Xi Shan, and dug channels for irrigation. Furthermore, he proposed that Ling Zhenfei build a farm at the foot of the western hills.
Ling Zhenfei had also thought of the idea of building a farm. Hearing Li Ermeng's suggestion, the two hit it off and began to work on a large scale.
As for funding, it was no longer a problem for Ling Zhenfei now.
With the commission from Liang Yida and the more than a million won from Fengzi, as well as his recent earnings, the effective funds he could now control had reached three million. Building a medium-sized farm was completely within reach.
The farm was to be built at the foot of Xi Shan, so Ling Zhenfei simply named it "Xi Shan Farm."
Xi Shan Farm was under intense construction, and the vegetables planted in his field last time had also matured.
Just as Ling Zhenfei was preparing to put this batch of vegetables on the market to see how they would fare, his phone suddenly rang.
Taking a look at his phone, he found it was Fatty Yu Deshui calling; Ling Zhenfei was quite surprised.
Ling Zhenfei had a very deep impression of this Fatty Boss Yu Deshui.
Of course, this impression was not solely because of the fat man's vivid "fathead fish" nickname.
More importantly, the fat man was straightforward, unpretentious, and loyal, which Ling Zhenfei really appreciated.
"Hello, Boss Yu..."
Ling Zhenfei picked up the call, ready to speak, but he heard Yu Deshui quickly taking over with a tone full of flattery, "Ah, Bro Zhenfei, please don't call me boss; just call me Deshui, or Old Yu will do..."
