Chapter 131: The Peony Lady
of you wait for me! You'll know what you've gotten yourselves into soon enough!" The middle-aged woman gritted her teeth.Then, he pulled his child away and dialed someone on his phone as they walked."...>
Zhou Bin and Xu Hong finally knew who had been watching them!
Just the two words "Shadow Gate" were enough to fill them with dread, and now, the head of the Eastern District of Shadow Gate has arrived in person. How could they not be terrified
Moreover, the two of them simultaneously thought of another question: if Ling Hao could command the Judge of Hell, what was his identity!
King of the West, Master of the Shadow Gate, Ling Shuai!
Oh my gosh! Could you please not be so scary! ...Actually, even this bigwig from the cloud is here!
Could it be that Madam Peony committed another major crime recently, causing such a big figure to take action personally
"Can we speak now" the judge continued, "Come clean and tell me everything, and I can try to get you a lighter sentence!"
"I... I don't know where she is..." Zhou Bin spoke with difficulty: "I... We are only peripheral members of Mo Ge, we... don't know her whereabouts..."
"Is that so Since you don't know, then it holds no value for us." Ling Hao said, his voice dropping: "Kill both of them!"
"Yes!" The judge replied in a deep voice, his wrist flipped, and the Cold Moon curved blade appeared in his hand.
"No..."
Both of them knelt down towards Ling Hao.
"Don't...don't kill me..." Zhou Bin quickly shouted, "I... I'll say, I'll say..."
After a brief pause, I continued, “Her level is higher than mine. Normally, I...I wouldn't possibly know her whereabouts, but...but today happens to be her birthday...”
As usual, she would always find time to host a small birthday party at her villa even if she was busy.
"Where is her villa" the judge asked.
"This... this is the specific address..." Zhou Bin trembled and took a piece of paper and pen from aside, wrote an address on it, and handed it to the judge.
"You better not lie to us, or else you know the consequences!" The judge took the address and looked at it.
Half an hour later, Ling Hao and his two companions drove away. Zhou Bin, Xu Hong, and all the outer members of Moge from the teahouse were taken away by Yingmen's disciples.
Zhou Bin's address is about two to three hundred kilometers away from Dongzhou. According to administrative divisions, it belongs to the suburbs of Jianghai City.
At four in the afternoon, the Range Rover stopped at the foot of a scenic mountain. Before them was a secluded villa nestled amidst the hills.
At the entrance of the manor, there is a sizable artificial lake. Several black swans and pairs of mandarin ducks are swimming in the lake. A small arched bridge made of balustrades and jade connects to the manor gate.
"She sure knows how to enjoy herself!" After the three of them got out of the car, the Judge looked around.
"According to Zhou Bin, Madame Peony's public identity is the deputy director of the Jianghai City Chamber of Commerce. With the backing of Mo Ge, making some small money is naturally no problem," Lu Yue responded lightly.
"Go take a look!" Ling Hao scanned his surroundings and walked towards the arch bridge.
The manor was bustling with activity, a scene of lively commotion. Men and women in fine attire gathered in groups, clinking their wine glasses and engaging in animated conversation.
Around the manor, twenty to thirty men in black stood like javelins, their bodies sturdy and their auras fierce.
A few middle-aged men and women were gathered around a tall woman not far from the manor gate, chatting animatedly.
A woman in her mid-thirties, with delicate features and an alluring presence. She possesses a beauty mark the size of a grain of rice between her brows, and her skin is so smooth it feels like porcelain.
About 1.7 meters tall, with a graceful figure, noble temperament, elegant demeanor, and a mature aura of a domineering woman all over her body.
No wonder both Zhao Yuehua and Heishandi said Madam Peony was a beautiful woman, they were indeed speaking the truth.
"Happy birthday, Lin Jie!" one young gentleman raised his glass and said, "I wish you a happy birthday every year, and may you always have today's happiness!"
Madam Mu, whose full name is Zeng Xuelian, goes by "Sister Lin" regardless of age or gender, among those outside the Ink Pavilion.
"Thank you, Huang Shao!" Zeng Xue Lin smiled sweetly and raised her glass to take a sip.
"Miss Lin, about that project I asked you to inquire about last time, could you please take another look at it" After finishing his drink in one gulp, the young master continued.
"Huang Shaofeng, rest assured, there will be results in three days." Zeng Xue'lin smiled again.
"Then, thank you!" The young master's eyes lit up.
"Huang Shao, you're welcome!" Zeng Xue Lin responded with a smile.
Knock! Knock! Knock!
Just then, a few footsteps sounded. Leading the way was an old man and a middle-aged man, followed by several attendants.
"Excuse me, everyone, I'll be back in a moment!" After seeing the two people, Zeng Xue Lin said a few words to the surrounding people and quickly walked over.
"Mr. Xu, I'm so surprised to see you here! Xue Lin is truly honored," said Zeng Xue Lin as she walked up to the two men, a radiant smile gracing her face.
"Sister Lin, you're wrong about this today. You didn't even tell me about the birthday banquet, how come Don't you think highly of this old man" An elder named Xu Yao responded with a smile.
"Mr. Xu, you're joking! I wouldn't dare to trouble you!" Zeng Xue Lin smiled again and then looked at the middle-aged man: "Mr. Xu, may I ask who this is"
"Haha, let me introduce you," Xu Yao laughed twice. "This is Chief Ma, the deputy superintendent of the Jiang Hai Special Patrol Division, whom I mentioned to you last time."
"I was just speaking with Inspector Ma, and I heard about this gathering here. So I asked Inspector Ma to come over with me for a drink."
After hearing his words, the crowd around him looked over one by one, their eyes filled with fear.
Most people present knew exactly what the Special Patrol Division was like – it was a direct line to the capital, and even figures as powerful as those from the Jiang Hai Yun Duan feared them!
While the deputy inspector's position within the Special Patrol Division was not low, second only to the governor and inspector, making him a powerful figure.
As expected of Sister Lin! Even big figures like this came to celebrate her birthday!
"Lin Jie, I'm here unannounced, haven't I disturbed you"
A middle-aged man named Ma He reached out his hand towards Zeng Xue Lin and smiled, a flash of astonishment in his eyes.
"Big Brother Ma, you're too kind!" Zeng Xuelin shook hands with the other person and then smiled seductively.
"You are a distinguished guest, I'm afraid even I might not be able to request such a meeting. How could I possibly intrude"
After finishing, he looked at Xu Yao again: "Mr. Xu, Big Brother Ma, let's go inside and have a chat!"
"Haha, that's great!" Ma He said with a smile.
Then, the three turned and walked towards the villa.
Knock, knock!
Just then, two muffled sounds echoed from the entrance of the manor. Two men in black flew in and crashed to the ground, their heads lolling at odd angles as they passed out.
In a short while, Ling Hao and his two companions walked in steadily.
"Huh" A barely perceptible coldness flashed from Zeng Xuelian's eyes at this sight.
"Who is it Do you know what place this is To come here and act recklessly, aren't you tired of living" The black-clad men in the manor all walked towards the entrance.
"The banquet is now over, everyone please return."
The judge ignored the group of men in black and instead turned to the men and women inside the manor, shouting loudly.y, why don't you come with me" Looking at Qin Yuxin's eyes, Ling Hao felt a sour feeling all over the room."No, I have a lot of things to do at my company, and I have a meeting coming up soon." Qin Yu...
