241: Earth-shaking events

It's better to avoid trouble than to seek it. The Guild's intelligence department will surely find out that there's an expert backing the Bingyan Office. Once an enmity is formed, the consequences might be more than the Guild can bear.

So, the Guild Leader had actually been waiting for him to show himself.

Thinking about it now, he had actually fallen into their trap!

And this Guild Leader truly calculated every step. The Bingyan Office, in helping Bao Hui from behind the scenes, set the condition that once Bao Hui became the leader, 70% of the Axe Gang's monthly profits would be handed over to the Bingyan Office.

It seemed like a huge profit, but in reality, if it failed and Bao Hui didn't succeed in becoming the leader, everything the Bingyan Office invested would be for naught.

So, when the Director proposed paying the Guild Leader directly with spirit stones, the Guild Leader showed no displeasure.

Taking money for services rendered without becoming a shareholder meant that no matter whether Bao Hui or Xiong Mao ended up as the leader, the money would reach the Guild Leader's hands on time.

The Director had just paid half of the deposit before returning. After the battle for The Axe Gang Leader ended, he would still need to pay the remaining half to the Guild.

Over the years, it wasn't the first time the Bingyan Office had appeared in a Wall; it just hadn't been in the 155 Fortress before.

Therefore, he never expected to suffer such a huge setback at the Guild Outside the 155 Wall.

This is truly too much!

But this matter was his own decision, and the higher-ups wouldn't care at all. If it got out, he might even be removed from his position as Director of the Bingyan Office.

He was in a dilemma.

And the Guild Leader had precisely counted on him being in a dilemma!

Damn it.

Who exactly is this person?

... The next day.

Outside the 155 Wall, in the Ferocious Beast Forest.

The VIP carriage in the morning was already filled with passengers, bringing together the 'three teams.'

Xiao Shen's three-person team, Wang Yi's four-person team, and Ximen Chuifeng's... two-person team.

That's right, today Ximen Chuifeng also brought Su Duo.

When he had no money, he couldn't ride in the VIP carriage, but now that he had adjustable spirit stones, he couldn't enjoy it all by himself.

After all, Su Duo was also a member of their plan, even though she offered almost no help to it.

Before buying tickets, Xiao Shen and Wang Yi each bought two bottles of train exclusive water; today, the train exclusive water was sold out.

Ximen Chuifeng had wanted to buy some, but unfortunately, he was short on cash, and once in the VIP carriage, he couldn't buy water anymore.

[Destination reached. Passengers, please disembark.]

Thirty minutes, and the passengers from all three teams had just reached their time limit.

A 'ding' sound echoed in everyone's mind; the multiple cultivation time was over.

"So you're Ximen Chuifeng?"

Wang Yi opened his eyes and looked at Ximen Chuifeng in front of him, extremely surprised. So the person Xiao Shen told him about yesterday was him!

Everyone was a passenger on the same train. He didn't know if they could be considered friends, but at least they had seen each other a few times.

Ximen Chuifeng used to come alone, rarely with a tag-along, but this time he brought Su Duo.

Su Duo loved excitement. With so many people on the train today, she naturally had to say a few more words!

"Yes, this is Uncle Ximen. Do you need him for something?" Before Ximen Chuifeng could answer, Su Duo spoke for him.

"Huh?"

As soon as Su Duo spoke, Wang Yi noticed that the person behind Ximen Chuifeng was Su Duo, and he became even more surprised: "When did you two... come together? Where's your cousin?"

He knew Su Duo, that chatty little girl, but she usually rode the train with Zhuang Sanming. Who knew Zhuang Sanming wouldn't be here today?

"My cousin couldn't make it because he had something to do." No matter how much of a bigmouth Su Duo was, she wouldn't casually blurt out such a big matter. However, she didn't know that Wang Yi and Xiao Shen had already learned about the Axe Gang through Ximen Chuifeng yesterday.

"No need to hide it, we all know what your cousin is doing. Isn't it about the Axe Gang?" Xiao Shen suddenly said.

Su Duo: !!!

"How did you know?" Su Duo's eyes widened, her intelligence momentarily failing to catch up.

"Ahem, well, I told him." Ximen Chuifeng coughed twice, saying awkwardly.

Su Duo turned her head to look at Ximen Chuifeng, her face full of disbelief: "What, you... you actually...?"

"We need help." Ximen Chuifeng's expression suddenly turned serious again, startling Su Duo.

"No, I don't understand? What are you talking about?"

Gu Mingzhu blinked innocently. She knew Xiao Shen and the others, but who was this Ximen Chuifeng?

"This..." Wang Yi didn't know whether to explain, so he hesitated.

On the contrary, Ximen Chuifeng, who was well aware of Gu Mingzhu's background and martial artist rank, enthusiastically said to Gu Mingzhu on the spot: "Miss Mingzhu, so you are the rumored Miss Mingzhu!"

Gu Mingzhu: ?

The enthusiasm in Ximen Chuifeng's eyes was almost overflowing with stars: "Ever since I can remember, I've heard of Miss Mingzhu's great reputation. Her beauty, which can make fish sink and geese fall, and flowers ashamed, cannot be fully described by any words. Not only that, I've also heard that Miss Mingzhu is upright and kind, unwilling to even step on an ant, always full of compassion, worrying before the world and rejoicing after it..."

"Alright, alright, that's enough." Gu Mingzhu herself couldn't listen anymore and quickly, with a wry smile, stopped Ximen Chuifeng from continuing, "If you need something from me, just say it directly, don't beat around the bush."

He said he'd heard of her great reputation since he could remember, but when Ximen Chuifeng could remember, she, Gu Mingzhu, probably wasn't even born yet!

When Su Duo called Ximen Chuifeng just now, she called him "Uncle Ximen."

"As expected of Miss Mingzhu, truly intelligent." Ximen Chuifeng didn't mind having his flattery exposed. Instead, he continued to praise Gu Mingzhu before getting to the point, "It's like this, a few of us are planning an earth-shattering event..."

As soon as she heard it was an earth-shattering event, Gu Mingzhu's shrewd eyes immediately lit up.

Wang Yi almost rolled his eyes watching from the side. Well, it had to be Ximen Chuifeng; he really had a knack for stirring up people's emotions.

Gu Mingzhu was a typical person who loved chaos. How could she not be interested in such a big event as the change of the Axe Gang's leader?

Wang Yi finally understood why Xiao Shen had spoken so highly of Ximen Chuifeng yesterday.

Honestly, for an intelligence dealer to reach his level, he was truly extraordinary.

"The Axe Gang?" Gu Mingzhu listened very attentively, asking a few questions from time to time.

"Yes, Miss Mingzhu, you don't know, but this Axe Gang is really powerful..."

Ximen Chuifeng spoke with such vividness, and the content was so captivating, that Ge Yunying and Feng Zhi listened with great interest.
