Qin Feng looked at the golden afterglow above Emperor Villa with even more amazement at this moment.

To the average person,

it was a breathtakingly beautiful scene.

But he could feel something that ordinary people couldn't.

"Really is a piece of treasure land!"

Qin Feng murmured.

He had only inferred from the model at the sales office that "Cloud Peak" had good Feng Shui, but Emperor Villa was an even more precious Feng Shui site. Now, seeing the golden mist, he was even more certain it was a great place!

"From the top of the mountain, one can overlook the entire beauty of Lake City! It's a shame that we can only look from a distance."

Xu Yunxiao said.

"Yes, Cloud Peak is a high-end residential area, and those who live there are all people of power. I'm afraid we can't even get up the mountain, let alone go to Emperor Villa."

Li Jie said.

Qin Feng smiled and said to Xu Yunxiao, "As long as you want to go, I'll take you there after some time."

The key had just been received; it would require some time for renovations.

So there was no point in going up the mountain now.

"You're just bragging!"

Xu Yunxiao rolled her eyes at him, "You better change this habit of yours in the future; it's annoying to hear!"

As she said this, she glanced at Li Jie.

Li Jie, on the other hand, unusually, said, "Qin Feng will definitely be able to take you there. You have to believe him."

"Oh?"

Xu Yunxiao blinked her bright eyes in wonder, saying to Li Jie, "Why are you so different today? Protecting Qin Feng at every turn..."

Li Jie immediately blushed, hurriedly waving her hands and said, "No, absolutely not! How could I possibly like him? That's not the case!"

"Why are you nervous? I know you have a Prince Charming in your heart," Xu Yunxiao said with a chuckle, "Speaking of which, we never saw your Prince Charming at Wanfu Building that night?" Check My Virtual Library Empire (*) for the latest updates.

"…No."

Li Jie glanced at Qin Feng with a blushed face and shook her head.

At this time.

Qin Feng's phone rang; it was a call from Hong.

After the call, he said to Xu Yunxiao, "I have something to take care of and need to leave first."

"Sure, put the things in the car and go!"

Xu Yunxiao said.

...

Night fell.

In a suburb of Lake City, a warehouse full of ruins.

Qin Feng knocked and entered.

Hong led him to a man who was tied up and said, "We've caught him; this is the mastermind behind the rumors about Luo Hongyan, named Kong Yuan."

Qin Feng looked over.

Kong Yuan was already bruised and swollen, his arms and legs had taken a serious beating, indicating that Hong had used torture on him.

"And then?"

Qin Feng asked.

"We've tried all possible methods. He seems to have undergone professional training and we still can't get anything out of him."

Hong said with a frown.

At this moment, Kong Yuan heard their conversation and put on an innocent face, saying, "I've said it; I wasn't inspired by anyone. I just couldn't stand Luo Hongyan and slandered her. I don't understand why you're treating me so harshly."

Seeing this, Qin Feng squatted in front of him, looked into his eyes, and said, "I admire your courage. So, you don't have to tell me who instructed you, just tell me, who is the one using the Gu Worm?"

At those words, a subtle trace of shock flashed through Kong Yuan's eyes!

That Gu Worm could only be detected by a Divine Doctor Level physician, and there are only three such doctors in the world.

The first one, Divine Doctor Zhuge, is in Yanjing, who swore an oath years ago never to leave the Capital.

The second one, Luo Shui Divine Doctor, has a secret whereabouts, seldom coming to the mortal world, as elusive as a wandering cloud and wild crane.

The third one, Beidou Divine Doctor, disappeared inexplicably three years ago. There were rumors that he was murdered and has not appeared since.

None of the three Divine Doctors would likely appear in little Lake City, and given Luo Hongyan's status, she might not even qualify for their treatment. How did Qin Feng come to know about this?

Soon.

Kong Yuan put away his look of horror and said, "What Gu Worm? How come I don't know about it?"

"Hehe."

Qin Feng had already caught the abnormality in his eyes, he stood up and indifferently said, "I'm giving you a chance. You can't betray the person behind this, but you just need to reveal the user of the Gu Worm. If you refuse, then let's not stand on ceremony."

"Hmph, use whatever methods you have!"

Kong Yuan said resentfully.

"There's no special method."

Qin Feng shrugged, then lit a cigarette, turned his back to Kong Yuan, and said to Hong, "Stamp down! Just like you did to Young Master Li before at Langtaosha Nightclub."

Old Fu had already told him about the chaos at Langtaosha Nightclub, defeating over a hundred people all by herself, and crushing Young Master Li's manhood with a single stomp – that was Hong's doing.

"Yes."

Hong nodded her head.

At this moment, Kong Yuan suddenly became tense.

He had just found out that it was this woman who had crushed Young Master Li's manhood in Lake City.

"Hey, hey, don't mess around!"

Kong Yuan, seeing her approaching, became panicked.

He had undergone professional training and could endure any form of torture, any intense pain, even bone-breaking, tendon-picking, or being locked in chains, he could grit his teeth and remain silent!

But still.

The manhood is a man's dignity; if it gets crushed, especially by a woman, that would be worse than death!

At this moment.

Hong had already reached in front of Kong Yuan, as if she hadn't heard his shouts, she emotionlessly lifted her foot.

"Hey! You, if you stomp down, I won't say anything!"

Kong Yuan said in a panic.

Qin Feng, with his back to him, chuckled and said, "As if you would talk if she didn't stomp."

"..."

Kong Yuan was left speechless.

Seeing Hong's foot coming down, he was shocked and couldn't help but shout with his eyes tightly closed, "It's the Ghost Lady!!"

Hong's foot stopped half a centimeter above his crotch.

He was so scared that he wet his pants.

"The Ghost Lady?"

Qin Feng, hearing this name, was somewhat puzzled.

Although he was raised in Dragon and Tiger Village, he wasn't interested in the affairs of the Jianghu and didn't know many people.

At this moment, Hong frowned and said, "I have heard of her. She's a terrifying person. Three years ago, during the Martial Arts Tournament for the Sky Dragon List, a top ten finalist had a verbal dispute with her. That night, the man died of severe flesh decay with his body full of maggots."

"I see."

Qin Feng mused upon hearing this.

"Hmph! If you are scared, you better release me now; maybe I can beg the Ghost Lady to spare your lives!"

Kong Yuan said.

Qin Feng looked at him indifferently and said to Hong, "Take care of him."

After speaking, he began to walk away.

Kong Yuan became stupefied and called out, "Hey, why don't you ask who's behind me?"

"If you won't tell, why should I waste my time? I'll just go find the Ghost Lady and ask."

Qin Feng spread his hands.

"You…"

Kong Yuan felt stifled.

He never expected to meet such a person in an interrogation.

At this moment, Hong said, "Don't you need to ask where the Ghost Lady is?"

"No need. With the Ghost Lady's status, he probably doesn't know. Moreover, I have the Gu Worm from the Ghost Lady, and that Gu Worm is a treasure. So, she'll come to us."

As Qin Feng spoke, he walked outside.

Kong Yuan became desperate, realizing that the other party truly didn't care about the information he had!

That meant he had no bargaining chip to play against the other party.

Feeling depressed.

He had to concede, calling out hurriedly, "If you spare my life, I will tell you the person behind this is Gu..."
