The Pluto Hall first occupied the provincial capital, so their next target would obviously be the remaining dozen or so cities in Northern Jiang.
Realizing this, Chen Xiao made a decisive move and instructed Qi Tianhu, "Old Qi, call the bosses of the other cities immediately and have them rush to Jiangcheng."
"Yes, Boss Chen."
Qi Tianhu nodded in agreement. Although he was worried, there was nothing else to do but trust Chen Xiao now that things had come to this.
Qi Qingfei asked, "Master, should we do something now?"
Chen Xiao shook his head and said casually, "No need. Just wait for them to come to us. I will catch them all in one net."
His words stunned everyone. Those were twenty Huajing Grandmasters.
Although Boss Chen was powerful, he was only one person. Could he really handle it?
They only knew that Chen Xiao had fought four Huajing Grandmasters alone on the Ling Shui Painted Boat.
They didn't know that Chen Xiao's strength had been rising like a rocket in the past few months. He wouldn't even bat an eye at a hundred Huajing Grandmasters, let alone four.
Just then, a brother of Da Xiang suddenly stepped forward and said, "Report, Boss Chen, I have something to report."
Chen Xiao nodded at the man, "Speak!"
The man scratched his head, looking embarrassed, and said, "Boss Chen, it's like this. After we were defeated, the people from Pluto Hall thought I was dead. In reality, I had just fainted. When I woke up, they were still there, so I had to keep pretending to be dead. That's why I overheard that several people from Pluto Hall had already arrived in Jiangcheng ahead of time."
"Oh? Do you know who they are? And why did they come ahead of time?"
Chen Xiao asked with a look of confusion.
"The leader is a woman. The people from Pluto Hall call her 'Eldest Miss'. She brought two Huajing Grandmasters with her, saying they wanted to find some vixen for revenge..."
Hearing this, Chen Xiao's mind buzzed because he immediately thought of someone: Li Ziqing.
Chen Xiao remembered that Li Ziqing had played with the young masters of the five great families back then, causing 'one death, one madness, and one serious injury'.
Since there were only five great families, the probability of someone from the Li family being among these victims was very high.
As for that Eldest Miss, she was likely Li Xun's sister, Li Cun.
With this thought, Chen Xiao didn't hesitate. He drew the Yitian Sword again and flew out through the window.
Chen Xiao's guess was not wrong at all. Li Cun was indeed the one who had arrived in Jiangcheng with two Huajing Grandmasters.
And the person she was looking for was Li Ziqing!
While Li Ziqing was having a meeting with her executives, the door to the conference room was kicked open.
Two middle-aged men, dressed identically, barged in.
These two men not only wore the same clothes but also looked exactly alike, as if they were cast from the same mold. They were clearly twins.
Behind the twins, besides the security guards who had been knocked down and piled up like a mountain, there was a young woman, petite in stature but exuding an imposing aura.
Upon seeing this young woman, Li Ziqing froze.
She naturally recognized Li Cun and could guess that Li Cun was not here with good intentions.
"All irrelevant people, get out!"
Li Cun said lazily and imperiously.
"Who are you people? How dare you cause trouble here? Do you know what this place is..."
A young and hot-headed executive stood up, pointing at the twins and Li Cun, and shouted angrily.
However, before he could finish speaking, one of the twins raised his hand, and a surge of energy shot out rapidly, hitting the young executive with a bang.
The young executive only managed to let out a muffled groan before collapsing to the ground, his fate uncertain.
Seeing this, a wave of screams erupted from around the conference table.
They were just ordinary people, how could they have witnessed such a scene?
"I'll say it again, all irrelevant people, get out!"
Li Cun repeated herself, her tone significantly colder this time.
The executives trembled with fear, looking at Li Ziqing for guidance, unsure of what to do.
"You all go out first."
Li Ziqing said calmly.
Upon hearing this, the executives quickly dispersed. A moment later, only Li Ziqing, Li Cun, and the twins remained in the conference room.
Li Ziqing crossed her arms and stared at Li Cun.
Although she felt a bit flustered, she maintained a calm facade, acting as if nothing was wrong.
"Li Ziqing, you're doing quite well for yourself now, a beautiful CEO, hehe..."
Li Cun walked over and sat down casually opposite Li Ziqing.
"Miss Li, what breeze blew you all the way to Jiangcheng? You wouldn't have traveled such a long distance just to see how well I'm doing, would you? After all, we don't seem that close?"
Li Ziqing said with a smile, appearing perfectly calm.
"Hmph, Li Ziqing, why are you playing dumb with me? You vixen who only knows how to seduce men, can't you guess why I'm looking for you?"
Li Cun slammed the table, her small face contorted with fierce anger.
"If it weren't for you, my Shaofeng brother wouldn't have died. If my Shaofeng brother hadn't died, we would have been married long ago, and perhaps we would already have children!"
"You vixen, it's all your fault."
Li Cun became more agitated as she spoke, her gritted teeth suggesting she wanted to devour Li Ziqing alive.
Her "Shaofeng brother" was named Zheng Shaofeng, a young master from the Zheng family, one of the five great families, and the only unfortunate soul who had been harmed by Li Ziqing.
The Li family and the Zheng family were close, and when Li Cun and Zheng Shaofeng were young, their families had arranged a marriage for them.
Li Cun had always considered herself Zheng Shaofeng's fiancée since childhood. Even after Zheng Shaofeng's death, she still believed herself to be Zheng Shaofeng's widow, although the Zheng family did not acknowledge her as their daughter-in-law.
Upon hearing Li Cun's words, Li Ziqing burst into laughter, "My foolish sister, what nonsense are you spouting? Do you really think Zheng Shaofeng liked you? Do you know what he said about you to others?"
"He, what did he say?"
Li Cun was stunned for a moment and quickly asked.
Li Ziqing's lips curved upward slightly, forming a contemptuous arc, and she said softly, "He said you're a flat-chested princess, that there's no difference between the front and back of your body, as it's all the same. He also said that marrying you is worse than marrying a washboard. Think about it, is it really worth being so infatuated with a man like that?"
"You, you're talking nonsense!"
Li Cun retorted immediately, "I don't believe my Shaofeng brother would say that about me, and besides, I've grown up now."
As she spoke, she deliberately puffed out her chest.
"Hehe, you have indeed grown up, but only your age has increased. The parts that should have grown haven't changed at all."
Li Ziqing stared at Li Cun's flat chest, her "airport," and mocked her mercilessly.
"You slut, you vixen, I'm going to tear your damned mouth apart today!"
Li Cun, enraged and flustered, lunged at Li Ziqing.
