After Lei Tian and his two men left, the room was left with only Ling Zhenfei and Jiang Hao's corpse. Ling Zhenfei looked at Jiang Hao's corpse and couldn't help but be overwhelmed with thoughts. Jiang Hao had betrayed him for money, and even though he had already killed him, the pain in his heart couldn't be soothed for a while. This betrayal made him realize a lot.

Ling Zhenfei had killed a man, and in front of others, no less, but he wasn't afraid of it getting out because he was fearless.

He took out his phone and dialed Long Hai's number; Long Hai answered quickly, his voice filled with cheerful laughter.

"Brother Zhenfei, why are you calling so late? I have some good news for you. Do you want to hear it?"

Ling Zhenfei didn't want to spoil Long Hai's mood, so he said, "What good news?"

Long Hai, still laughing, said, "It's like this: we have already submitted our materials, and the higher-ups are taking it very seriously. They have already called a meeting to discuss it, and I think we will be able to move against the Imperial Palace Club in the next couple of days."

"Then you better hurry up. I was attacked again tonight and almost got killed," Ling Zhenfei said nonchalantly.

Long Hai caught the seriousness of the situation and asked anxiously, "What happened? What's going on?"

"Today, a good brother of mine betrayed me. I almost got killed, but luckily I have a strong life; I managed to kill him," Ling Zhenfei recounted the incident to Long Hai.

"I see, you don't need to worry. Just wait a moment, I'll find someone to handle it right away. You can rest assured," Long Hai was experienced in dealing with such matters, having handled countless similar situations before.

"Yeah, with your words, I feel relieved. Call me if there's anything."

Ling Zhenfei hung up the phone, changed his clothes in the room, and then walked out of the room, locking the door behind him to prevent anyone from suddenly barging in.

In the bar, there was a manager's office, into which Ling Zhenfei walked and sat down to think about how everything should be handled.

The bar had to keep running. Now that the conflict with the Three Killers Club had been resolved, as long as its members didn't cause trouble, the bar was great.

He looked at the accounts; the business had been quite good recently, having made over a hundred thousand, but he hadn't received much of it. It seemed Jiang Hao had swallowed it all, which was quite audacious of him; it looked like he had been plotting this all along.

With Jiang Hao dead, the bar needed someone else to manage it. After thinking for a while without coming up with a suitable candidate, he thought of Zhou Jian. Their territories were not far apart, so he decided to call Zhou Jian to discuss it.

He called Zhou Jian and told him to come to the bar immediately, then hung up.

It wasn't long before Zhou Jian burst in with a group of men, all carrying knives. To an outsider, it might have looked like a robbery, which terrified the customers in the bar.

Ling Zhenfei quickly welcomed Zhou Jian and his men, looking surprised at the crowd behind him, "What does this mean? I called you over to the bar, why did you bring so many people?"

Zhou Jian realized the reason for the misunderstanding and said somewhat awkwardly, "I misunderstood; I thought someone was going to harm you, so we brought people."

Ling Zhenfei looked over the crowd behind him, recognizing many as fighters. He turned to a waiter nearby, instructing them to serve some beer to the men to drink casually, and then pulled Zhou Jian into the manager's office.

"I'm really sorry, boss, I didn't understand the situation," Zhou Jian still sounded apologetic.

Ling Zhenfei quickly waved his hand, "Let's not talk about that anymore; I called you here today because there is a very important matter I need to discuss with you."

"Boss, what do you need me to do?" Zhou Jian asked with great interest.

Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment and said, "That car shop of yours isn't making much money. Leave it to your staff and come manage this bar for me."

Zhou Jian looked around in surprise after hearing this and said, "Boss, are you saying you want me to manage such a big bar?"

"Exactly. I don't have anyone suitable around me, and after thinking it over, you seem to be the most fitting. You wouldn't be unwilling, right?"

Zhou Jian quickly shook his head and said, "Of course I'd be willing, I'm just worried that the bar is too big for me to manage well."

Ling Zhenfei knew what Zhou Jian meant and smiled as he said, "Go ahead, everything with the Three Killers Club has ended. Not only will they not trouble you, but they might even help you. If you find it unsuitable, you can also hire a couple more hands."

Zhou Jian nodded and said, "Don't worry, Boss. As long as you've arranged it, I'll definitely complete the task."

Having explained everything to Zhou Jian, particularly emphasizing the issue with Jiang Hao's body, the main purpose was to ensure Zhou Jian wouldn't worry too much. Additionally, it served another purpose: to let Zhou Jian know the consequences of betrayal, to prevent similar incidents from happening again.

After arranging everything, Ling Zhenfei left the bar alone and drove toward Liu Bingying's house.

It was already very late. When he entered Liu Bingying's house, the lights inside were off, signifying that she had already gone to bed.

Ling Zhenfei's clothes were splattered with Jiang Hao's blood. Although he had changed them, there was still a lingering, unpleasant smell of blood. Ling Zhenfei went into the bathroom, intending to clean himself thoroughly.

He filled the bathtub with water, undressed, and stepped into it, relaxing comfortably. As he lay in the tub resting with his eyes closed, he suddenly heard the bathroom door open. Then, he saw Liu Bingying, in her nightgown, walking in from outside.

Ling Zhenfei looked at Liu Bingying in surprise but saw her make a shushing gesture and quietly say, "Xiao Ke is already asleep."

From Liu Bingying's words, it was clear she already knew Ling Zhenfei was in the bathroom and had intentionally come in.

"It's so late and you're still not asleep, sister?" Ling Zhenfei sized up Liu Bingying.

After the thunderstorm of events had passed, the two lay together and spoke softly.

"Little brother, has your sister become a bad girl now?" Liu Bingying shyly said, not at all like her wild self just before.

"Not at all, sis. You've just become even more enchanting than before," Ling Zhenfei spoke honestly while looking at Liu Bingying.

"You're just flattering me. I'm getting older by the day; there's nothing enchanting about that."

Ling Zhenfei gently stroked Liu Bingying's hair: "How could I deceive you, sis? In my heart, you are the most charming."

Liu Bingying was very pleased, her eyes and eyebrows filled with happiness.

"I actually fear that one day, you will despise me and leave," Liu Bingying suddenly murmured as if she really feared Ling Zhenfei would leave.

Ling Zhenfei, of course, heard Liu Bingying's words, and he hugged her smooth body saying, "Don't worry, sis. As long as you don't drive me away, I will always stay by your side."
