    Chapter 649 Yun Dong

    “Where is Elder Han Long?”

    In the meeting hall, as Yu Hongxi’s cold voice sounded, some of the original whispers suddenly disappeared. The high-level officials of Jinlong Baoxing present looked at each other, and they all sat upright.

    “Haha, president, have you forgotten? Elder Han Long escorted a batch of goods to the Xiyan County branch half a month ago. Counting the time, he should be on his way back now.” In the silence of everyone, a burst of laughter rang out.

    Yu Hongxi looked around and saw that it was Vice President Ning Qian who was speaking.

    Yu Hongxi stared at Vice President Ning Qian with sharp eyes, and said slowly: “Is it true that you haven’t come back yet, or is there something else?”

    Vice President Ning Qian was startled and said, “What else is there?”

    Yu Hongxi was too lazy to beat around the bush and said calmly: “Today is the Luo Lan Mansion’s Mansion Festival. I don’t want my Jinlong Baoxing to get involved in it. This goes against our Jinlong Baoxing’s neutral position, so I’m going to say it out loud. Anyone who dares to interfere in the Luo Lan Mansion’s affairs will get out of the Jinlong Baoxing.”

    Hearing Yu Hongxi’s cold words, the senior executives of Jinlong Baoxing present felt their hearts tremble and did not dare to speak.

    Yu Hongxi has been in charge of Daxia Jinlong Baohang for many years, and his prestige has long been deeply rooted in the hearts of the people.

    Vice President Ning Qian’s face was calm and he said with a smile: “What did the president say? How could we get involved in Luo Lan Mansion’s affairs for no reason? However, the president also knows that our position at Jinlong Baoxing is neutral. But from your words, why do I feel that you are always favoring Luo Lan Mansion?”

    Hearing Vice President Ning Que’s somewhat targeted words, everyone present was slightly shaken and fell silent. Although Yu Hongxi had great prestige in Daxia Jinlong Baoxing, Vice President Ning Que was also very senior. He was once a strong contender for the president. It is said that behind him, he also had a background from the headquarters.

    Yu Hongxi looked at Vice President Ning Qian and said, “If the Vice President feels that I have acted in violation of Baoxing’s rules, he can impeach me directly to the headquarters.”

    Vice President Ning Qian chuckled and said, “President, what you said is serious. I just asked this question without any other intention.”

    Yuhongxi was noncommittal.

    Lu Qing’er, who was standing behind Yu Hongxi, had a look of worry in her eyes. It was too coincidental for Elder Han Long to leave.

    She did not expect that the problem this time would be the elder Han Long, because as far as she knew, Han Long had been quite low-key in Baoxing in the past, and he was also considered a neutral faction, and did not get involved in the fights between her mother and Vice President Ning Yan.

    However, Han Long’s delivery at this point was quite suspicious.

    It seems that this person’s low profile and neutrality in the past were all just an act. He may have secretly turned to Vice President Ning Qian a long time ago.

    “What a bunch of cunning old foxes.” A coldness flashed across Lu Qing’er’s eyes.

    “Mom.” She called softly.

    Yu Hongxi didn’t look back, just patted Lu Qing’er’s little hand, and then started to preside over the meeting.

    In a forest quite far away from Daxia City.

    A large number of people camped, bonfires were raised, and a banner of Jinlong Baoxing was erected.

    There were many figures beside the bonfire, and among the crowd, there was an old man in green robes. He was chatting with everyone with a kind smile, while others agreed with respectful faces.

    The excitement lasted for a long time, and everyone dispersed and took a rest.

    The old man in green robe looked up at the night, then slowly put down the barbecue in his hand, and returned to his tent in full view of everyone.

    The camp gradually became deserted and quiet.

    A blurry figure quietly swept out of the camp, then emerged from the woods, and was about to break through the sky in the direction of Daxia City.

    However, just when he was about to leave, a laugh suddenly sounded from not far away: “Haha, isn’t this Elder Han Long? Are you planning to leave alone? What about the convoy?”

    The blurry figure suddenly stiffened, and the figure in green robe cast his gaze towards the place where the laughter was, and saw a figure standing there at some point, looking at him with a smile.

    “President Lu Cao?!”

    The old man in green robe named Han Long looked at the figure in shock. The person who came was the branch president of the county they passed before, but why did he appear here?

    “Oh, it’s like this. I have received instructions from President Yu before, saying that if I meet Elder Han Long’s returning convoy, I must follow you to Daxia City to report on my work. In addition, President Yu also asked me to go with Elder Han Long.” The branch president named Lu Cao explained seriously.

    Elder Han Long’s expression was gloomy and uncertain. This Lu Cao branch president was also a very senior old man in the Daxia Golden Dragon Treasure Industry. He was not weaker than him in terms of strength or status.

    Lu Cao’s appearance here was obviously arranged by Yu Hongxi.

    It turned out that she had been on guard against herself for a long time, but fortunately he still felt that she hid it very well on weekdays.

    This woman is really scheming.

    “Haha, is Elder Han Long in a hurry to return to Daxia City now? If you are in a hurry, I will go with you.” Lu Cao asked thoughtfully.

    Han Long’s heart was filled with emotions, and finally he showed a forced smile and said: “No, no, I was just feeling bored in the tent, so I just wanted to come out and see the night.”

    “That’s it.”

    Lu Cao walked over with a smile and said, “It’s a long night, so I’ll talk to Elder Han Long to relieve my boredom.”

    Han Long twitched the corners of his mouth and could only nod helplessly.

    This Yu Hongxi was really scheming. He had left Daxia City more than half a month in advance, but she was still aware of him and arranged means to contain him.

    Shengxuanxing Academy.

    Among the lush shades of trees, there were dark shadows passing by like civet cats. When the moonlight penetrated the dense branches and leaves and fell, it happened to be reflected on the slender figure wearing black tights, revealing the sexy and hot curves.

    Her figure jumped down from the forest. When she raised her head, a cold and charming face was exposed. It was Ye Chengying, one of the Seven Star Pillars.

    Ye Chengying looked at the gate of the school not far away, but did not continue to move forward. Instead, he cast his cold eyes into the shadows ahead and said: “With your strength, you still want to hide in front of me?”

    The shadow there squirmed and then turned into a human figure.

    It turned out to be Xin Fu.

    He looked at Ye Chengying, with a wry smile on his somewhat pale face, and said, “Sister Ye, why do you have to get involved in tonight’s matter?”

    Ye Chengying said coldly: “Don’t you know this is an order from the government?”

    “You don’t have to go.” Xin Fu said.

    “Can you stop me?” Ye Chengying slowly raised the dagger in his hand, and there was a black cold light flowing on it. The moment her voice fell, her figure had disappeared. The next moment, the black tip of the knife was hovering at Xin Fu’s throat.

    The cold light was swallowed, and with a slight movement, it could penetrate Xin Fu’s throat.

    However, Xin Fu didn’t move at all, just looking at her quietly.

    Ye Chengying said coldly: “You really think I don’t dare to kill you? If you interfere with the tasks in the palace, if I kill you, the master of the palace will not blame me.”

    “Li Luo is my friend.” Xin Fu said after a moment of silence.

    “The notorious Lanling Mansion actually has a righteous young master?” Ye Chengying’s voice was somewhat sarcastic.

    “After all, I am from the Justice Squad.” Xin Fu joked, then he stared into Ye Chengying’s cold eyes and said, “You know I don’t like Lanling Mansion, nor do I like its ruthless and cruel rules. Just like in that cruel elimination match, I risked being stabbed to death by my ruthless father to take you back when you were on the verge of death due to elimination.”

    Ye Chengying’s cold and murderous eyes moved at this moment, and the fingers holding the black dagger slowly tightened.

    The frozen atmosphere lasted for a long time, and Ye Chengying finally moved the dagger away from Xin Fu’s throat.

    “Let your friends come out. Do you think a group of children from One Star Courtyard can stop me? When did you become so naive?” Ye Chengying glanced at the forest behind Xin Fu.

    At this time, there were figures coming out one after another.

    Yu Lang, Bai Doudou, Qin Zhulu, Bai Mengmeng, Zhao Kuo and others.

    Yu Lang said with a smile: “Xin Fu, tell me earlier that you and Senior Ye are old acquaintances, which makes my little heart keep pounding.”

    Ye Chengying glanced at him coldly, then his expression suddenly changed, looking at the last figure walking out of the forest.

    “Qiao Yu?”

    It was a long-legged girl with simple clothes and short silver ear-length hair. For her, Ye Chengying’s eyes just showed surprise, because this Qiao Yu, like her, was the Seven Star Pillar in the academy, but he didn’t expect that she would also appear here.

    “It seems that you have really made a lot of preparations. You even invited her.” Ye Chengying glanced at Xin Fu. It seemed that he was also ready to intercept her by force if his persuasion failed.

    Qiao Yu’s expression was indifferent, but he ignored Ye Chengying. Instead, he looked at Bai Mengmeng and stretched out his hand: “The mission is completed, please give me the money.”

    While Xin Fu and the others were intercepting Ye Chengying, outside the academy, instructor Xi Chan, who had changed into his usual instructor’s robes, was already walking down the stone steps of the academy.

    The night wind blew in, lifting the tulle covering her face, revealing her fair and delicate chin.

    She did not enter Daxia City, but headed to the southwest.

    The headquarters of Lanling Mansion is hidden deep in the mountains over there.
