Looking at the two people who immediately started reprimanding and questioning him, Ye Kunlun's gaze was calm.
After they finished speaking, Ye Kunlun asked, "Are you done?"
The two were startled. The one who spoke first snorted, "Of course..."
*Slap—*
Ye Kunlun raised his hand and slapped him. The crisp sound of the slap echoed in the not-so-large conference hall, stunning everyone!
Lu Dengye swallowed, not daring to speak. Only after Ye Kunlun released the anger in his chest could he speak.
Otherwise, he would inevitably be implicated.
"You, you dare to hit me? Do you know who I am..."
*Slap—*
Ye Kunlun slapped him backhand again, making him see stars and feel dizzy!
"Only speak again when you learn to speak like a human!"
Ye Kunlun's voice was calm, yet filled with a chilling coldness that made one tremble.
The other person was furious and angrily said to Lu Dengye, "You are simply outrageous!"
Ye Kunlun ignored him and asked Lu Dengye, "Lu Dengye, I ask you, does he have the authority to view Tian Ting's most confidential information?"
"No," Lu Dengye replied truthfully.
"When I joined Tian Ting, were my conditions approved by Tian Ting's highest level?"
Ye Kunlun asked again.
"Naturally!" Lu Dengye broke out in a cold sweat.
"I ask you again, am I qualified to hit him?"
Ye Kunlun's voice grew colder.
The two from Tian Ting came up and without a word, gave him a show of force, a round of scolding and questioning!
Unfortunately, they picked the wrong person. One of the conditions for Ye Kunlun joining Tian Ting was that he would not obey any orders from Tian Ting.
As such, these two ignorant individuals who were pointing fingers at him naturally had to be taught a lesson.
"Yes!"
Lu Dengye gritted his teeth.
Although the two beside him had higher status than him, he was ultimately under Ye Kunlun's command.
Moreover, having witnessed Ye Kunlun's strength, Lu Dengye sincerely admired him and naturally stood by his side at this moment!
"Good, good!"
The man who had received two slaps from Ye Kunlun was enraged. "Lu Dengye, I will report this matter truthfully!"
With that, he glared at Ye Kunlun, "We are not done with this matter!"
After speaking, he and the other person turned and left.
Lu Dengye looked at Ye Kunlun with a wry smile, "My Lord, they will likely make things difficult for you."
Ye Kunlun sneered, "You need to understand, you begged me to join Tian Ting, not that I wanted to join!"
Ye Kunlun's gaze became sharp. "Furthermore, Tian Ting and Wujian Yu are of the same rank. As the young master of the dignified Wujian Yu, shouldn't I be on equal footing with the head of Tian Ting?"
Lu Dengye broke out in a cold sweat!
He almost forgot about this matter. With Ye Kunlun's identity as the young master of Wujian Yu, he was qualified to be on equal footing with the head of Tian Ting.
And one of his purposes for coming tonight was to ask for Wujian Yu's help!
As a result, before he could even state his request for help, he had already offended Ye Kunlun.
"My Lord, this subordinate was muddled."
Lu Dengye chuckled awkwardly. "This subordinate actually came today for two matters. The first is to bail someone out."
"Who?"
Ye Kunlun was somewhat curious about whom Tian Ting wanted to bail out from Wujian Yu.
After all, the people imprisoned here were all of extraordinary status and background. Anyone that Tian Ting wanted to bail out must have something special about them.
"This person's name is Li Wangchuan."
Lu Dengye did not offer further explanation and said, "It was also instructed by my superiors that I come to bail him out. I ask for your cooperation, My Lord."
Information about Li Wangchuan immediately surfaced in Ye Kunlun's mind.
During his few days in Wujian Yu, he had reviewed the list of all the prisoners.
Li Wangchuan was imprisoned on the sixth level, a congenital master, and had been held in Wujian Yu for ten years.
Years ago, this person had massacred all thirty-seven members of a minor family in the capital. He was then captured and imprisoned by Wujian Yu.
Ye Kunlun pondered for a moment and then instructed Wu Dao, "Go and bring the person over."
A moment later.
Li Wangchuan, dressed in prisoner's clothes, was brought over. He was over 1.8 meters tall but extremely thin, appearing frail.
"Li Wangchuan, someone is here to bail you out!"
Ye Kunlun looked at Li Wangchuan and said faintly.
Li Wangchuan glanced at Lu Dengye, lowered his eyes, and remained silent.
"My Lord, please take him," Lu Dengye said to Ye Kunlun with a grateful smile.
"I can hand over the person to you. In return, Tian Ting will do one thing for me," Ye Kunlun continued. "Help me investigate news about the Wu clan!"
Upon hearing Ye Kunlun mention the word 'Wu clan', Lu Dengye's expression stiffened. He then replied, "My Lord, according to Tian Ting's data over the years, the Wu clan has long been extinct."
"Just investigate as I told you to!" Ye Kunlun snorted. "There must be people from the Wu clan hiding in the capital. If you can't find them, it only means that Tian Ting is filled with useless people!"
Lu Dengye's expression was a little awkward. "Alright, I will relay your request to my superiors!"
Ye Kunlun nodded to Wu Dao and handed the person over to Lu Dengye.
"My Lord, please pay attention to the matter in Ji City from back then."
Lu Dengye said with a smile.
Ye Kunlun knew he was referring to the matter of the Three Gods Society.
"The Japanese have three major business guilds in the capital. Wujian Yu can easily obtain their information. My Lord, you can start investigating from them."
Lu Dengye reminded Ye Kunlun.
The Three Gods Society was not only related to Tian Ting but also to the events of ten years ago. Even without Tian Ting, Ye Kunlun would have investigated them!
Lu Dengye and Zhai Yue left with Li Wangchuan.
Not long after they left, Mu Qi rushed back.
"Young Master, I've found an important clue!" Mu Qi said excitedly, rushing into the conference hall.
"The person on the list named Zhang Mu..." Mu Qi panted and continued, "is a fake name. To be precise, it's a Chinese name, but he uses it very rarely. His real name is Shenmu Yuta, and he is Japanese."
"Shenmu Yuta? The president of Shenmu Corporation?"
Upon hearing the name, Wu Dao looked surprised.
"Precisely!"
Wu Dao quickly explained to Ye Kunlun, "Young Master, Shenmu Yuta's Shenmu Corporation is one of the three major Japanese business guilds in the capital!"
"What a coincidence?"
Lu Dengye had just asked Ye Kunlun to start investigating the three major Japanese business guilds, and then Mu Qi brought back the news.
"Mu Qi, prepare all the information on Shenmu Corporation."
Ye Kunlun instructed Mu Qi, deciding to start the investigation with this Shenmu Yuta.
"This subordinate will handle it immediately!"
Mu Qi left excitedly, no longer caring that it was already time for bed.
In just over two days, Ye Kunlun's methods had earned the admiration of everyone in Wujian Yu, and they sincerely recognized him as their young master.
"Young Master, this subordinate just remembered something."
Feng Tutu, who was standing nearby, remembered something and said, "My best friend invited me to attend a banquet with her tomorrow, which seems to be hosted by Shenmu Corporation."
Ye Kunlun pondered. Shenmu Yuta was a new breakthrough, and he needed to investigate him quickly.
Thinking of this, he said, "Prepare yourselves. We will attend the banquet tomorrow night."
