Chapter 9: Dark Night: Unveiling Secrets, Entering the Tiger's Den

~6 min read 1,147 words

"What an evil cultivation method!" Zhang Jun's heart skipped a beat.

He finally understood where Fang Zijie's overbearing internal strength came from.

The Fang Family is actually using the Black Tiger Hall to conduct human experiments, cultivating this evil cultivation method!

Zhang Jun properly stored the documents and secret manuals.

These are all irrefutable evidence to overthrow the Fang Family.

But for now, it's not the time to go public.

He needs an opportunity, an opportunity that could ruin the Fang Family forever.

Inside the Fang Family, the atmosphere is tense.

The news of the study being invaded spread like a plague.

Fang Hong summoned all the core members of the family to the meeting hall.

"Investigate! Investigate thoroughly!" Fang Hong roared, "I must ferret out that mole!"

Fang Zijie stood to the side, his face grim.

His first suspect was Zhang Jun.

But lacking evidence, he could only endure for now.

"Dad, could it be the Liu family who did this?" Fang Zijie asked.

"I can't rule that out." Fang Hong nodded, "But we also can't rule out that the problem lies within us."

"Big brother, could it be…" Liu Yunfei trailed off.

"Second brother, what do you want to say?" Fang Hong stared at him.

"I… I just feel that this matter might be related to Zhang Jun," Liu Yunfei said hesitantly.

"Zhang Jun?" Fang Hong frowned, "Does he have the capability?"

"Big brother, don't forget, he's someone who can even handle the Black Tiger Hall," Liu Yunfei reminded.

"Hmph, even if it's him, what can he do?" Fang Hong sneered, "This is the Fang Family, not a place for him to run wild!"

"But…" Liu Yunfei still wanted to say something.

"Enough!" Fang Hong interrupted him, "I'll handle this matter. You all keep your people in line, don't cause any more trouble!"

Everyone fell silent like cicadas in winter, daring not to speak.

After the meeting dispersed, Liu Yunfei returned to his room alone.

He closed the door, took out a phone from his bosom, and dialed a number.

"Hello, it's me… something has happened on the Fang Family's side…"

Liu Yunfei lowered his voice and reported the Fang Family's situation to the person on the other end of the line.

"... Zhang Jun? I understand… keep watching him, and report any developments to me at any time…"

From the other end of the phone came a low voice.

Liu Yunfei hung up the phone, a hint of a cold smile appearing on his face.

"Zhang Jun, do you think you can defeat me? How naive!"

Under the night sky, a greater storm is brewing.

Zhang Jun sat in the room, eyes closed, cultivating his spirit.

In his mind, the eavesdropped information kept replaying, analyzing the current situation.

"The Fang Family, the Black Tiger Hall, the Superior… what exactly is the relationship among these three?"

"What other secrets does the Liu family hide?"

"And who exactly is that mole?"

One question after another swirled in Zhang Jun's mind.

He needs more information to unravel these mysteries.

Suddenly, Zhang Jun opened his eyes, the corners of his mouth slightly turning up.

"Since you want to play, I'll gladly play along with you."

He rose, pushed open the door, and walked out.

The night grew darker.

Zhang Jun's figure vanished into the vast night.

A carefully plotted scheme is about to unfold.

Only unknown is who set the trap and who is the prey.

Zhang Jun came again to the vicinity of the Fang Family.

He did not directly infiltrate, but instead observed from the shadows.

The Fang Family tightened its defenses, the patrolling servants now several times more numerous than before.

Moreover, he discovered that unfamiliar faces had appeared around the Fang Family.

These people, with restrained breath and sharp eyes, are clearly not ordinary bodyguards.

"It seems the Superior has already begun to act," Zhang Jun thought to himself.

He did not act rashly, but continued to observe.

Soon, he discovered a suspicious target.

A man in a black suit, alone, was loitering near the Fang Family.

He occasionally took out his phone, seemingly contacting someone.

Zhang Jun quietly approached, using a listening device to intercept his conversation.

"... Everything is normal… no abnormalities detected…"

「...... Continue monitoring...... report any developments immediately。」

The man's voice was low and carried a hint of wariness.

Zhang Jun's heart stirred, and a plan formed.

He quietly moved behind the man, then struck suddenly, subduing him.

Before the man could react, Zhang Jun sealed his acupoint, leaving him immobile.

Zhang Jun dragged the man into a hidden corner and searched him, finding a mobile phone.

On the phone screen, an unfamiliar number was displayed.

Zhang Jun hesitated not, and dialed the number directly.

"Hello, what's up?" a low voice came from the other end of the line.

Zhang Jun imitated the man's voice and said, "Report, this is the Fang Family side—there's a situation."

"What situation?" the other party immediately asked.

"I've discovered that there seems to be a mole inside the Fang Family," Zhang Jun said.

"A mole?" the other's voice grew tense, "Are you sure?"

"I personally saw Liu Yunfei secretly meeting a stranger," Zhang Jun said.

"Liu Yunfei?" the other seemed surprised, "Are you sure it's Liu Yunfei?"

"Absolutely certain," Zhang Jun affirmed, "I also heard them mention my name."

"Zhang Jun?" the other's voice grew grave, "Understood. Keep watching and report any developments immediately."

"Yes." Zhang Jun replied.

After hanging up, Zhang Jun's lips curled into a cold smile.

He placed the phone back on the man and released his acupoint.

The man moved his body a bit, found nothing amiss, and hurried away.

Zhang Jun watched his retreating back and thought to himself, "The show has just begun."

He turned and sneaked into the Fang Family residence again.

This time, his target was Liu Yunfei.

Liu Yunfei's room was located on the west side of the Fang Family manor, relatively secluded.

Zhang Jun easily avoided the patrolling servants and arrived outside Liu Yunfei's room.

He held his breath and focused, listening carefully.

From inside the room came Liu Yunfei's voice.

"... Rest assured, on my end, everything is going smoothly..."

"... That old coot Fang Hong has already been deceived by me..."

"... As long as we get rid of Zhang Jun, the Liu Family will be ours..."

Zhang Jun snorted coldly inside.

As expected, this Liu Yunfei is the mole!

He quietly pushed open the window and slipped into the room.

Liu Yunfei was facing the mirror, adjusting his clothes.

He was completely unaware that danger had arrived.

"Mr. Liu, what a refined hobby," Zhang Jun's voice suddenly rang out.

Liu Yunfei jumped in fright and turned sharply.

"Zhang... Zhang Jun?!" he exclaimed, eyes wide in disbelief.

"Surprised?" Zhang Jun asked with a smile.

"How... how did you get here?" Liu Yunfei stammered.

"Why couldn't I be here?" Zhang Jun countered.
