Wei Damin kept muttering the words "greenhouse" and "fish," which might have meant nothing to others, but Ling Zhenfei immediately knew he was referring to the poisoning at the ornamental fish farm and the arson at the greenhouse. He had no idea how Jiang Hao came to know about these things.

"That Wei Damin, even in such a state, is still concerned about my greenhouse and ornamental fish. Deep down in his memory, he must feel that being stabbed in the leg with a pen is karma for his wrongdoings, which is why he remembers the last two bad things he did so vividly."

In the face of this, Ling Zhenfei could only try to find excuses to fend off suspicion, insisting that he couldn't admit it was him who had done those things.

After listening, Jiang Hao let out a chuckling laugh, leaving it unclear whether he truly believed him or not.

"Ling Zhenfei, you're my brother. Tell me honestly, did you do it?"

Ling Zhenfei finally confirmed in his heart that Jiang Hao indeed suspected him, "You think too highly of Wei Damin. If I really sought revenge on him, that guy would've suffered more than just a brain injury."

"I'm not talking about the Wei Damin incident. I'm referring to the entire Imperial Palace Club situation."

"I've never even been to the Imperial Palace Club. How could it possibly be me?"

Jiang Hao seemed somewhat incredulous, "Simply on account of the words 'greenhouse' and 'fish,' you're a suspect. And then there's your capability; only someone like you could come and go so easily through the heavily guarded Imperial Palace Club."

"You're deducing that it was me based on these two points alone?" Ling Zhenfei countered.

"I'm not certain." Jiang Hao kept staring into Ling Zhenfei's eyes as if trying to discern the truth from them.

"The Black Death Order is offering a ten million reward for the identity of these two people and even for clues. If you believe it was me, then you might as well go claim the reward."

With that, Jiang Hao laughed, "Look at you talking. We're brothers. How could I possibly betray you over some money? The reason I asked you wasn't to trade you for cash. I was afraid you were the one who did it, so I wanted to make sure and look after you."

Regarding this matter, Ling Zhenfei wasn't going to trust anyone, not with the enticing offer made by the Black Death Order. He couldn't help but be cautious, even with Jiang Hao.

The two dropped that topic and moved on to other matters. While chatting, they drank lots of beer. As cultivators, a bit of beer was nothing to them; the drinking and chatting merely added a touch of ambiance.

By now it was very late, but the bar was still crowded. The frenzied men and women gyrated their bodies and heads, much to Ling Zhenfei's dizziness.

"Can't drink anymore. I'm going to the restroom; you keep at it." After saying this, Jiang Hao rushed off to the bathroom, leaving Ling Zhenfei sitting alone.

Ling Zhenfei looked towards the dance floor. Although the lighting was dim, his eyes could see in the dark without any disruption, as clearly as day. That's when he spotted Jiu Jiu swaying her waist rhythmically within the dance floor.

He had to admit, Jiu Jiu was indeed beautiful with a top-notch figure, easily becoming the center of attention in a crowd, surrounded by several young men bearing tattoos like gangsters, gaping at Jiu Jiu with almost fiery desire, obviously lustful for a long time.

Two young men gradually approached Jiu Jiu. She clearly felt them closing in, her expression changed, but she said nothing—it was a common occurrence in bars.

One of the young men smirked at his companion, obviously showing off—neither willing to back down.

Jiu Jiu became annoyed and hastily took a couple of steps away to put more distance between herself and the two men, but they followed her.

This time Jiu Jiu was really angry. She spun around and slapped one of them across the face.

"Are you sick? Who do you think you're touching?"

Slap!

The sound was loud, and everyone around turned their attention to the two young men.

The two young men immediately felt their faces grow hot, which was quite an embarrassment for them.

Smack!

The guy, furious and ashamed, slapped Jiu Jiu across the face, causing her to stagger. If it weren't for the crowd, she would have fallen.

"Fuck, touching you is a compliment, aren't you just made for men to touch? Just say how much you want, I've got plenty of money."

"Even if I let a dog touch me, I wouldn't let you, just scram, or I'm calling the cops," Jiu Jiu clearly knew she was no match for these two.

"Haha, that's hilarious. Have you ever heard of a hooker calling the cops on a john? Don't think we don't know what you do. Just let us brothers have some fun today, just name your price."

Jiu Jiu tried to slap the guy's hand away but he caught her hand, and she couldn't pull it back.

"What are you doing, let go of me!"

"You tell us what we want to do."

"Ah, let go, I'm going to call the police."

Jiu Jiu struggled and screamed, but the onlookers around them watched with excitement, not intervening.

"Stop it, what do you take the bar for?"

Ling Zhenfei walked over and yelled at the two guys, who clearly didn't expect anyone to stand up for Jiu Jiu and all turned to look at Ling Zhenfei.

Seeing that Ling Zhenfei was alone, the two young men became somewhat angry.

"Kid, don't be a busybody. This woman's a prostitute, I'll pay her once I'm done."

"That's right, you can join in if you like too."

"Go to hell, even if she were your wife, you can't just mess around in the bar, now let her go." Ling Zhenfei had nothing but contempt for these types of people, bullying a woman.

"You're really butting in, what can you do if I don't let her go? Do you know who we are?"

"I don't care who you are, I just know I'm dealing with this today." Ling Zhenfei walked over to the two men, trying to rescue Jiu Jiu. The two young men were also enraged. They let go of Jiu Jiu and charged at Ling Zhenfei, fists swinging.

The dancers around them had cleared some space, afraid of getting hit by mistake. As soon as the two guys charged, they were kicked away by Ling Zhenfei. The bystanders didn't even see how Ling Zhenfei made his move before the two men were down on the ground.

The two struggled to get up from the ground, but Jiu Jiu rushed over, wielding two beer bottles she had found somewhere and smashed them on their heads.

Crash! Crash!

The beer bottles shattered, and the two young men were knocked to the ground, Jiu Jiu's actions were ruthless.

The two lay on the ground, seriously disturbing the dancers, but the bar staff promptly appeared and cleaned up the two men and the broken bottles from the floor.

Bar workers were used to this kind of thing and naturally had their own way of handling it, so there was no need for Ling Zhenfei to concern himself with the matter.
