Chapter 109: Zhang Yimin

"Hello, Mr. Zhang, this is Qiao Ming. Young Master Zhang Shouhang is currently at Jingming Bar. You must come quickly, Young Master Zhang is about to be killed!"

"What did you say?!"

At this moment, Zhang Yimin was in a high-end coffee shop, discussing matters with an important figure.

Just as they were reaching a critical point in the conversation, he was interrupted by Qiao Ming's call.

Zhang Yimin had been to Jingming Bar a few times, so he recognized Qiao Ming and knew he was a subordinate of Zhang Shouhang.

He was initially very annoyed when he saw the call, but thinking that Qiao Ming would generally not call him unless there was something wrong with Zhang Shouhang that he couldn't be reached for, he answered.

Zhang Yimin was one of the core figures of the second generation of the Zhang Family; he had no children of his own, had watched Zhang Shouhang grow up since he was small, and regarded Zhang Shouhang as his own child.

Therefore, even though he was annoyed, considering that it might be that Zhang Shouhang had met with trouble, he still answered the phone; as a result, he didn't expect that Qiao Ming's words would make him almost jump up from his seat in shock.

"Don't be anxious, tell me clearly what is going on?!"

Zhang Yimin left his seat, moved to a window, and listened carefully to Qiao Ming's report.

"It's like this, Young Master Zhang didn't obtain the investment today, so he was in a bad mood and came to the bar to vent. I didn't expect the Cheng sisters and the head of the Qian Family to be there, and that Chen Che, who has a grudge against the Young Master, also came to the bar.

The Young Master was furious and got into a dispute with them. I didn't expect that Chen Che is a powerful Martial Artist; not only did he kill Mr. Peng, he also used a gun to wound the Young Master's lower parts!"

Qiao Ming lowered his voice and quickly recounted the sequence of events.

"What? Peng Hui is actually dead? And Xiao Hang's lower parts were also shot and wounded?!"

Zhang Yimin was shocked once again. Peng Hui was a Ninth Grade Martial Artist and the ceiling of the Zhang Family's martial strength; he had no rivals even in Shanghai, yet he had actually died!

Who exactly is that Chen Che, to be able to kill Peng Hui!?

Furthermore, Zhang Shouhang's identity is a household name in Shanghai; how could Chen Che dare to be so bold and reckless?!

Is he relying on the Cheng Family and the Qian Family, or the Divine Doctor Li Qingyan?!

Crippling Zhang Shouhang and using such heavy-handed tactics—the face of these three is not enough to appease the Zhang Family's fury!

"You stay there and don't let anyone hurt Xiao Hang again. I am coming over right now!"

Zhang Yimin hung up the phone, returned to the coffee table, and bowed to the person opposite to express his apologies: "Young Master Ma, I am sorry, my nephew has run into some trouble and I need to go immediately. I will invite you another day."

"Go ahead and get busy, President Zhang. I will be staying in Shanghai for a while longer, we will have another chance to meet."

Sitting across the table was none other than the Branch Manager of Yanyu Group, the eldest young master of the Jinling Ma Family, Ma Zijun.

Today, the Zhang Family's roadshow had failed. After the Zhang Family learned that Ma Zijun was in Shanghai, Zhang Yimin had specifically invited Ma Zijun out, attempting to lock the stable door after the horse had bolted.

"A thousand apologies, I will definitely make amends to Young Master Ma another day!"

Zhang Yimin expressed his apologies to Ma Zijun once more, then left without a moment's delay.

After Zhang Yimin left, Ma Zijun's smiling face instantly turned grave.

Just now, Zhang Yimin had been too agitated and his voice while answering the phone was loud. Ma Zijun hadn't heard clearly what was said, but he had heard the name Chen Che.

After returning from the medical school that day, Ma Zijun had specifically investigated the relationship between Chen Che and the Cheng Family, as well as Chen Che's background.

Although there were the maneuvers Cheng Kexin had used to deliberately cover up the news, Ma Zijun had still pieced together the scattered information he obtained and guessed the relationship between Chen Che and the Cheng Family, as well as the grudge between Chen Che and Zhang Shouhang.

Hearing Zhang Yimin mention Chen Che's name on the phone just now made him have to be alert!

—If Chen Che is there, it is highly likely that Li Qingyan is also there. Furthermore, if Chen Che gets into trouble, this is a good opportunity to win him over!

Ma Zijun immediately took out his phone, dialed Lin Su's number, and instructed: "Check where Chen Che and the others went after they finished the project roadshow?"

"Yes."

Lin Su replied, but Ma Zijun did not hang up, waiting quietly instead.

Five minutes later, Lin Su's voice came through again: "By the Huangpu River, at Jingming Bar."

Ma Zijun nodded and said: "Good, arrange a car now and come with me to Jingming Bar."

………

Jingming Bar.

After seeing Peng Hui fall to the ground, Chen Che's expression changed. He immediately stepped forward to check, and after confirming there was no possibility of survival, he punched the ground in anger.

When he used the Ghost Gate Needle to attack, he had deliberately avoided the vital points, all to leave a breath of life so he could interrogate him about the Pill.

As a result, he didn't expect that Peng Hui would still die!

"The side effects of this kind of medicine are very great. He was already heavily wounded by you, and he took so much of it; he looked full of vigor, but in reality, he was already at the end of his rope."

After being treated by Li Qingyan, Cheng Kexin's body was no longer in any serious trouble. She saw through Chen Che's intentions, held her neck, came to Chen Che's side, and said.

Li Qingyan put Cheng Kexiang's dislocated left leg back into place, then also walked over and squatted down to carefully examine Peng Hui's condition.

"Strange!"

Li Qingyan frowned and said in surprise: "After this kind of medicine is ingested, it doesn't go through the stomach, it goes to the dantian. Does the Regulatory Department know the composition of this medicine?"

Cheng Kexin shook her head and sighed: "The duty of the Regulatory Department is to restrain Martial Artists, but their main enemy is the Martial Arts Alliance.

The reason the Martial Arts Alliance has never been completely wiped out is because they use a certain method to develop medicine. This medicine can turn ordinary people into Martial Artists, and can also allow Martial Artists to increase their strength in a short time, or even instantly.

But at the same time, this medicine has very serious side effects; taking too much will consume one's life!

The Regulatory Department has indeed captured many Martial Artists from the Martial Arts Alliance over the years, and a lot of the medicine has been seized, but even after sending it to Beijing, they haven't been able to find out the composition and manufacturing method of this medicine."

"They didn't find out a single piece of information in Beijing? That's impossible, right!"

Qian Rongrong said in surprise.

"They really don't know the specific composition of this medicine in Beijing, but there are clues regarding the refining method."

Cheng Kexin said slowly, "It's not a traditional pharmaceutical method, but a type of Artisan Technique, Alchemy."

"It seems the clue still lies with the Alchemist." Chen Che said.

"That's right."

Cheng Kexin said: "However, looking globally, the number of Alchemists is as rare as phoenix feathers and unicorn horns, and those who can reach the level of refining this kind of Pill are even fewer. So, looking for someone is no different from looking for a needle in a haystack."

"Let's not worry about finding the person for now."

Cheng Kexiang said thoughtfully: "Now that we know the Zhang Family is in collusion with the Martial Arts Alliance, does that mean the Zhang Family is finished? Regarding today's events and the future, do the Cheng Family and the Qian Family no longer need to fear the Zhang Family?"

"Hmm, the little girl has become quite sharp!" Li Qingyan cast an approving look.

Chen Che, however, snorted coldly at this moment: "I don't care about the life or death of the Zhang Family; I only care about where the Martial Arts Alliance is!"

Chen Che turned and walked toward the unconscious Zhang Shouhang, first using the Ghost Gate Needle to stop his bleeding to prevent him from dying before he could hold on.

Afterward, *slap! * He slapped Zhang Shouhang awake with a heavy blow.

Zhang Shouhang slowly opened his eyes, seeing Chen Che's frost-like expression first, and then catching a glimpse of his blood-soaked lower body in his peripheral vision; recalling what had happened before he lost consciousness, his face turned deathly pale with fright.

"Chen Che, don't kill me! Don't kill me! I promise I will never fight you for Cheng Kexin again, and I promise I will never target the Cheng Family or the Qian Family again. I promise to keep my tail tucked and behave myself from now on!"

Chen Che's dominance and ruthlessness filled him with extreme terror, and he no longer had his previous arrogant air, thinking only of survival: "I'm already crippled; spare my dog life, and I promise not to be an eyesore to you anymore... As long as you let me go, from this day forward, you will be my own big brother, and I will follow your every lead!"

Chen Che remained expressionless and said: "Enough nonsense. I will ask you one thing; as long as you answer truthfully, I can consider sparing your dog life."

"Speak, Big Brother, I promise to tell you everything I know!"

Chen Che's words made Zhang Shouhang feel as if he had grasped a straw to save his life, and he immediately smiled obsequiously.

"How long has the Zhang Family been colluding with the Martial Arts Alliance? Do you know where the Martial Arts Alliance's base is?"

Chen Che said.

"Huh?"

Zhang Shouhang looked bewildered and said: "What Martial Arts Alliance? I don't know..."

Chen Che's expression changed, and he pressed his finger onto the wound on Zhang Shouhang's thigh, immediately causing Zhang Shouhang to howl in pain.

"Ah!!! Big Brother, spare me... I'm really not lying to you... I really don't know about any Martial Arts Alliance..."

Zhang Shouhang screamed heart-rendingly, almost fainting again.

"Stop!"

A thunderous shout came, and a dense crowd of Patrol Bureau Officers rushed into the bar, surrounding Chen Che and the others.

Following that, Zhang Yimin and a middle-aged man wearing the uniform of a Patrol Bureau officer walked in quickly.
