In a meeting room, Zhu Fan was already waiting there.

After Xiaofan came in, he realized that the people in here were real experts. Aside from the four Protectors he had encountered by Zhu Fan's side, there were also two men in their forties, along with Black Tiger following behind. Wow, if a fight really broke out, Xiaofan doubted his ability to escape unharmed, especially with a bunch of experts guarding outside.

However, even in the face of fierce tigers, Xiaofan was confident he could pull out a few tiger teeth before being bitten to death.

Since he was here, he might as well make the best of it. Xiaofan casually pulled out a chair and sat down with a change of expression, showing no signs of anything unusual.

"Where's Uncle Zhong? Why isn't he here?" Xiaofan asked immediately after sitting down.

"He's busy right now."

"Why call me here so early today, what's the matter?" Xiaofan was the first to ask.

"Actually, it's no big deal, just a few questions I want to ask you." Zhu Fan said, smiling superficially at Xiaofan.

"To ask me a few questions, you need so many people? And all experts?" Xiaofan immediately showed his personality.

"Of course, after asking you questions, I have something very important to announce, so..."

"Hurry up then, I haven't had breakfast yet." Xiaofan frowned, maintaining a completely unappreciative expression towards Zhu Fan, regardless of the number of people present.

"Alright then, let me start by asking... Black Mantis, do you know a woman named Shen Zuimo, or 'nightingale'?" Zhu Fan asked, staring directly into Xiaofan's eyes.

Upon hearing Shen Zuimo's name, Xiaofan's expression indeed faltered, but he still confidently said, "I know her..."

"Oh?" This answer was unexpected. Zhu Fan had assumed Black Mantis would surely hide the truth to dissociate from its identity: "Where did you meet her?"

"On our organization's website. Shen Zuimo, code name nightingale, mission: capture her alive. Any member can participate in the mission, plus there's an assassination order permanently on the homepage, for Ye Xiaofan, with the reward just raised to five billion. If he hadn't gone missing, I would've done nothing else but hunt him down; then I'd never worry for life." Since Xiaofan had already become a formal A-level assassin, he surely knew the contents on the Assassin Network.

This kind of answer was obviously not what Zhu Fan wanted, but it was still flawless. Even if it was a lie, no one could see through it.

"You are indeed a master at spinning tales, no wonder such a formidable person could infiltrate us. I almost believed you."

"What do you mean?" Xiaofan said, puzzled.

"Guards, seize Black Mantis for me."

With Zhu Fan's angry shout, the door swung open, and four men in black strode towards Xiaofan, reaching to grab him.

Xiaofan, of course, wouldn't surrender easily. He stood up, kicked the chair back with his heel, and leapt onto the table.

'Bang, bang, bang...'

With a simple chain kick, all four were kicked away.

"Good boy, dare to fight back; it seems you really are not clean." Upon seeing Xiaofan's resistance, Wu Hu rushed forward immediately.

"Fuck, who here is clean? Why arrest me without reason?" Xiaofan yelled angrily, took a stance, and punched towards Wu Hu.

The two quickly started fighting in the small conference hall. Against Wu Hu, Xiaofan had no trouble; he had defeated Wu Long in the ring before, so after mixing with Red Butterfly for so long, defeating Wu Hu shouldn't surprise anyone.

After over a dozen exchanges, Xiaofan finally found a huge flaw in his opponent and was about to punch down.

But at that moment, the people seated in the conference room suddenly moved, attacking Xiaofan.

The abilities of these individuals couldn't be underestimated. Xiaofan quickly withdrew his punch, evading rapidly.

'Bang.' It is said that two fists are no match for four hands, especially when Xiaofan couldn't exert his full strength.

So, under the combined attack of many experts, Xiaofan was kicked to the side, hitting the wall hard, blood spilling from the corner of his mouth. Holding his chest with one hand, he looked severely wounded and couldn't stand back up immediately.

"Hold him down," Zhu Fan indicated.

The four men in black whom Xiaofan had kicked over earlier also got up, with two of them grabbing Xiaofan's arms, pressing him onto the table.

"Zhu Fan, what do you intend to do now?"

"What do I intend to do? I should be asking you, who are you really? What do you want from infiltrating my organization after such struggles?"

"I struggled hard to join you? Aren't you shameless, it's you gripping tight when I've always wanted to leave." Xiaofan was highly agitated, cursing in return.

"Still playing dumb, let me show you someone; then you'll understand what's going on."

Saying this, the door again swung open, and Cui Yuan walked into the conference room with a calm expression.

"How come you're here?" Seeing Cui Yuan, Xiaofan was slightly startled.

"Humph, I overheard the conversation between you two last night. Black Mantis, stop pretending; today I'll avenge my brother and kill you, the traitor."

"Stop." Zhu Fan couldn't help but shout, then walked up to Xiaofan and asked with a cold smile, "Do you have anything to say now?"

"Yes, a whole lot, starting with not understanding why I'm being captured."

"Why? Haven't you forgotten what happened last night? Besides, don't you remember what was discussed?" Zhu Fan was puzzled as Xiaofan still refused to admit it.

"Last night? I remember clearly. This Cui Yuan came to my warehouse, tried to steal something, and spoke a load of nonsense." Of course, Xiaofan wouldn't admit to anything.

"You really have quite the ability to feign ignorance. Why don't you tell us, what did you talk about?"

"He said some bizarre topics, like Elder Fan, and also mentioned Yanhuang Soul."

"And how did you respond?" Zhu Fan continued to ask.

"Respond? Why should I respond to him? He tried to steal things, and then claimed we were together. Why catch me instead of him?" Xiaofan continued to stonewall.

"He said he was from Yanhuang Soul, why didn't you detain him immediately? Wasn't it because the opponent claimed to be a member of Yanhuang Soul, so you let him go?"

"Damn, if I could have detained him, I would've done it already. Cui Yuan is so powerful, how could I have overpowered him? He's right here, ask him if you don't believe me."
