"Young Master!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

"Mr. Jiang!"

Ying Zi and her two companions approached Jiang Chen and his company, greeting them with light laughter as Zhu Yan's gaze turned to Spirit You, revealing a hint of longing in her eyes.

Spirit You flashed a grin, her eyes sweetening when she looked back at Zhu Yan.

"I say, Zhu Yan, wouldn't this count as mixing personal feelings with public duty? I've heard the person in charge here in Zhou Yi District is the captain of the Kylin Squad. And here you are, the captain of the Vermilion Bird Brigade, trying to muscle in on their turf?" Jiang Chen teased Zhu Yan playfully.

Zhu Yan's face turned a shade of red as she argued, somewhat illogically, "I, I just worried that cooperation between you, Mr. Jiang, and Squad Leader Su might be a bit awkward."

"Awkward cooperation? The cooperation between you and me isn't that seamless either, is it? Though, your coordination with Spirit You must be exceptionally well-practiced!" Jiang Chen teased again.

"Kill them! Kill them for me, now!"

Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!

Suddenly, Lü Tianfang's roaring command echoed, and the group of men in black suits by the roadside instantly surrounded Jiang Chen and his party.

"Stop!"

Lü Tianjiang shouted authoritatively, making his way quickly into the circle. He turned to the men in black suits and bellowed, "I dare you to lay a finger on them!"

"Lü Tianjiang, what are you trying to do? I've already told you who they are, why are you still protecting them? Are you deliberately opposing me?" Lü Tianfang yelled as he walked toward them.

Lü Tianjiang frowned slightly, glanced at Jiang Chen, then turned to Song Wanqiu, "Miss Song, what is your relationship with this Mr. Jiang?"

"He's my friend. I came to Zhou Yi District because of him!" Song Wanqiu replied softly.

"What are you all waiting for? Don't you know who the real Young Master of the Commerce Alliance is? Follow me and take down that kid!" Lü Tianfang, seeing the men hesitate to act, became even more infuriated, pointing at Jiang Chen and bellowing.

"No fighting allowed!"

Lü Tianjiang raised his voice again, turning to Lü Tianfang, "Big brother, calm down and let's figure things out first!"

Lü Tianfang glared furiously at Lü Tianjiang: "What's there to figure out? Don't you know what he's here for?"

"Big brother!"

Lü Tianjiang hollered, pointing at Song Wanqiu and Zhu Yan, "This is Miss Song Wanqiu, the eldest young miss of the Jincheng Song Family, and Miss Zhu Yan, the captain of the Vermilion Bird Brigade from the Flame Dragon Group."

"Song Family! Flame Dragon Group!"

Lü Tianfang was taken aback, his brows knitting together tightly. The Song Family he didn't really fear – the emperor far away, he wasn't much worried about offending them. But the Flame Dragon Group was a different story, that was an entity he truly feared.

Zhu Yan looked at Lü Tianfang with an icy demeanor, her tone indifferent as she spoke, "The Lyu Family certainly throws its weight around in Zhou Yi District. Right here at the airport exit, in full view, you dare to openly talk of murder? Utterly lawless!"

"Miss Zhu, my big brother was just joking!" Lü Tianjiang hastily interjected.

Jiang Chen allowed himself a faint smile: "Whether it was a joke or not is irrelevant now. You must be Lü Er [Second Young Master Lü], correct? I'd like to meet your father, if that's not too much trouble?"

"This... I need to ask my father. If Mr. Jiang doesn't mind, you're welcome to stay at our Commerce Alliance's hotel in the meantime," Lü Tianjiang said hesitantly, but with a friendly smile.

"No need, Yi Chen also has hotels in Zhou Yi District. I will stay there. Once I am settled, I will definitely come for a visit," Jiang Chen replied, smiling lightly.

"Alright!"

Lü Tianjiang responded with a light laugh.

"Mr. Jiang, my car is over there," Zhu Yan pointed to her Audi.

"Alright!"

Jiang Chen nodded his head, and the group made their way towards Zhu Yan's car.

Lü Tianjiang cast a glance at Song Wanqiu, making no attempt to detain her.

"Bastards! This Jiang Chen has even ties to the Flame Dragon Group; no wonder he could stir up such a commotion in the inland!" Lü Tianfang bitterly spat out as he watched Jiang Chen and his companions walk away.

A cold flash crossed Lü Tianjiang's eyes as he softly said, "Big brother, this Jiang Chen is up to no good; since he's connected with the Flame Dragon Group, you must not act rashly."

"I know. Just wait, sooner or later this bastard will fall into my hands. When that time comes, I'll make sure to repay him a hundredfold, a thousandfold for what he did to me!"

Lü Tianfang watched the retreating figures of Jiang Chen and his group with a venomous gaze and seethed through his teeth.

...

In Zhou Yi District's Beiwan City, at the West Suburb, lies the Lyu Family's villa estate.

Wuwu...

A convoy of Mercedes-Benz cars drove into the estate, coming to a stop at the main villa's entrance.

Click click!

The car doors opened, and Lü Tianfang, along with Lü Tianjiang, stepped down.

"Dad is waiting for us in the study. Let's hurry; he's already angry because the matter in Yizhou Province wasn't handled properly!" urged Lü Tianjiang.

"No need to remind me!"

Lü Tianfang glared at Lü Tianjiang and quickly strode into the villa.

A sinister look flashed in Lü Tianjiang's eyes as he stared at Lü Tianfang's back and followed suit.

In the second-floor study of the villa.

A middle-aged man sat at the desk, a trace of anger on his face as he looked at a document in his hands.

Thump thump thump!

Knockings on the door sounded, causing the middle-aged man to frown slightly and call out, "Come in."

Click!

The door opened, and the two Lüs walked in, standing erect in front of the desk.

Bang!

The middle-aged man slammed the document onto the desk and berated Lü Tianfang sharply:

"Tianfang, what the hell have you done? Ah? You couldn't even handle such a simple matter in Yizhou Province? You called to report the good news that the matter was solved. Is this how you solved it? I taught you the methods, and you let Jiang Chen be brought back? You sure are capable! What else can you even do?"

"Dad, let me explain!" Lü Tianfang urgently started.

This middle-aged man was Lü Tianfang's father, Lü Jianzhong, the Alliance Hierarch of the Sanzhu Commerce Alliance.

Hearing this, Lü Jianzhong's face darkened as he barked, "Speak! If you can't give me a good reason, I'll hand this matter over to Tianjiang to deal with, and you'll stay in Zhou Yi District without causing further trouble!"

"Dad! I followed the plan and went to Unchanging Valley, where I met You Chen. We had already come to an agreement, and You Chen's intentions were very clear. But who would have expected him to suddenly bring Jiang Chen along? Moreover, he was extremely respectful towards Jiang Chen, and it wasn't just him; even some of the old powerhouses in Unchanging Valley bowed to Jiang Chen. I couldn't help it!" Lü Tianfang explained urgently.

Lü Jianzhong frowned slightly, his eyes revealing a somber seriousness, "You're saying the people from Unchanging Valley were very respectful towards Jiang Chen? They're usually secluded in their valley, rarely venturing out. How do they know Jiang Chen? And why would they be respectful towards him? What's going on here?"

"Could it be because of the Flame Dragon Group? Zhu Yan from the Flame Dragon Group was also quite respectful towards Jiang Chen!" Lü Tianjiang interjected softly.

"Flame Dragon Group!"

A contemplative look flashed in Lü Jianzhong's eyes, before he suddenly glared at Lü Tianfang:

"I told you to quickly take down that Su, the captain of the Flame Dragon Group's Kylin squad. She's the one in charge of the Flame Dragon Group in Zhou Yi District. If you had taken her down earlier, made the raw rice into cooked rice, wouldn't we be in a much more advantageous position?"
