Ling Zhenfei's phone suddenly rang, and he hurried to answer it outside the door.
"Hello, is this Ling Zhenfei?" The voice at the other end of the line was very gloomy, and Ling Zhenfei did not recognize who it was.
"Yes, it's me. Who is this?"
The voice on the other end, as if filled with anger, said, "Kid, you don't need to worry about who I am. I just have one question for you, do you know the Fat and Thin Headed Monk?"
The Fat and Thin Headed Monk, Ling Zhenfei thought for a moment, he didn't seem to know anyone by the name of the Fat and Thin Headed Monk.
"I'm sorry, I don't know them," Ling Zhenfei answered seriously.
The person on the other end seemed very angry as they said, "Hmph, still daring to lie, do you really think that we from Qiulian Mountain only eat for nothing?"
As soon as the person mentioned Qiulian Mountain, Ling Zhenfei was startled. The Fat and Thin Headed Monk from Qiulian Mountain, could it be that this person was talking about the tall thin man and short fatty who attacked him in Capital City?
At that time, after the Akiramari incident, the tall thin man and short fatty had attacked him, and he had fought to the death to defeat both men, who then fell to the ground while Ling Zhenfei himself eventually passed out unconscious.
If it had not been for Lu Huanong's timely arrival, he might already be dead. After waking up, he had asked Lu Huanong how the bodies had been handled.
But Lu Huanong had simply told him to rest assured, that she had taken care of everything, yet Ling Zhenfei did not know the specifics, not even knowing whether the tall thin man and short fatty were dead or alive.
However, thinking back to how he had forcibly executed the sixth fist of the Heaven-Splitting Ten Fists, the power of the fifth fist could split the earth, and the sixth fist's power was even capable of splitting mountains, such a blow to the body should have been lethal.
Now that this person had called, Ling Zhenfei realized that those two men were the Fat and Thin Headed Monk. Listening to the angry tone of the caller, it was obvious that the two men had already died.
"Again with people from Qiulian Mountain, I've already told you not to mess with me. I, Ling Zhenfei, am not so easily bullied."
"Kid, it's good that you know about Qiulian Mountain. Now I ask you, did you kill the Fat and Thin Headed Monk?" the voice on the other end was icy cold.
"I'm sorry, but I don't know," Ling Zhenfei said truthfully.
"Are you playing games with us, kid? If you don't know, then where are they now?"
"That's something you can't ask me. You should be asking your so-called Fat and Thin Headed Monk," Ling Zhenfei replied.
Ling Zhenfei was shocked in his heart. He had made too many enemies, among them Qiulian Mountain was a particularly troublesome power.
Whether it was Snake Head, Hu Tou, or the Fat and Thin Headed Monk, their strength was impressive, and they had nearly taken his life on two occasions. Initially, he hadn't wanted to kill anyone, but that group had pushed him again and again, leaving him no choice but to kill the Fat and Thin Headed Monk in the end.
But having killed the Fat and Thin Headed Monk, a greater disaster was probably waiting for him.
"Kid, you won't shed tears until you see the coffin. Just wait; our people from Qiulian Mountain have never been at a disadvantage. Since I found your phone number, I can find you too."
"What do you want?" Ling Zhenfei knew his trouble was coming again.
"What do I want? Obviously, to ask you face to face how far your brashness goes, and incidentally, to avenge my senior brother," the person said.
After finishing, the person on the other end hung up the phone. Ling Zhenfei couldn't express how uncomfortable he felt, and a slight worry began to creep into his heart, worried about the safety of his family.
If the people from Qiulian Mountain knew it was him who killed the Fat and Thin Headed Monk, how would he handle it if they took the opportunity to retaliate against his family?
Although there are unwritten rules in Jianghu that one should not involve family in misfortunes, there are all kinds of people in the world. Who could guarantee that everyone would abide by this rule?
However, since the other party was looking for trouble, he could not be afraid, but simply had to be vigilant and prevent unwanted incidents from happening.
Ling Zhenfei pondered deeply when his cell phone suddenly rang again. It was still an unfamiliar number, but after thinking for a moment, he decided to answer it.
"Hello, is this Mr. Ling Zhenfei?"
The opening line of the other party was almost identical to the previous call, but Ling Zhenfei could tell that this person was not the same as the one before, and he spoke with a lot more politeness.
"Hello, this is he. What can I do for you?"
The person on the phone laughed, "Hello, my name is Fang Zhi, just a small runner from Killer Building."
Ling Zhenfei was taken aback, not quite understanding what the runner meant, but upon hearing the term 'Killer Building,' Ling Zhenfei recalled Number Ten who had tried to kill him at the edge of the cliff.
"Mr. Fang, hello. May I know why you are looking for me?"
The Fang Zhi on the phone laughed, sounding quite amiable, "Well, Mr. Ling, some things happened today that have made you quite unhappy, and we would like to apologize for that."
"You're too kind. If you called just to say that, then we might as well hang up now."
Fang Zhi said, "Mr. Ling, don't be in such a hurry. Of course, I'm calling about Number Ten and his crew. They took on the mission themselves, and their deaths would have been deserved. You sparing their lives was really quite fortunate for them."
"You say nice things, but what exactly do you want? Please speak plainly. I don't like beating around the bush," said Ling Zhenfei, already somewhat angry, which grew as he spoke.
Fang Zhi continued with a smile, "Alright, since Mr. Ling is so direct, I'll get to the point. Tomorrow, our boss would like to invite you to dinner, and we hope you will grace us with your presence."
"Dinner? I really don't think that's necessary." Ling Zhenfei had no wish to involve himself more with people from Killer Building, especially without knowing the full circumstances.
No one knew the intentions behind the Killer Building inviting him to dinner; whether it was just a simple meal, or a potential trap like a Hongmen Banquet, nobody could be sure. That's why Ling Zhenfei outright refused.
"Mr. Ling, I think you should seriously consider it. You should know what kind of organization Killer Building is. We are not hiding in the shadows to trip you up but instead bringing everything into the open. How could you not give us face?"
After listening, Ling Zhenfei was startled, "What do you mean by that?"
Fang Zhi explained, "It's simple, Mr. Ling. If Killer Building wanted to play tricks, we would have acted in the dark. Since we are inviting you to dinner, it means we have no intention of foul play. Perhaps you should be relieved."
Fang Zhi was right; if Killer Building had wanted to resort to tricks against Ling Zhenfei, it would have been very difficult for him to deal with. Now that they were openly inviting him to dinner, maybe Ling Zhenfei indeed had reason to be relieved.
"Fine, I will attend the dinner tomorrow. Where?"
Fang Zhi sounded very pleased after hearing this, "That's the spirit. Mr. Ling truly knows the bigger picture. I will send you the time and address to your phone. Goodbye, Mr. Ling."
After that, Fang Zhi hung up the phone, and Ling Zhenfei was left with even more confusion. He wondered what this mysterious person really wanted from him, perhaps regarding the matter of Number Ten and his crew being poisoned.
If tomorrow's event turned out to be a trap, Ling Zhenfei was still worried. The strange whip techniques and formations used by Number Ten and the others were still fresh in his memory. If it really came down to a fight, the consequences were unthinkable.
He walked back into the office, and Chen Qian greeted Ling Zhenfei with a smile, "Zhenfei, where did you find such talented individuals? Speaking with them just now has given me a lot of inspiration."
