After sitting at the bar for a while, Ling Zhenfei realized there was no point in continuing like this, so he got up to leave. That's when several people suddenly walked in from outside.

Originally, Ling Zhenfei wanted to leave, but he halted when he saw these people because he sensed Northern Spiritual Energy emanating from one of them.

Since there was Northern Spiritual Energy, that meant the person was a cultivator, and seeing a cultivator here meant he had to take a good look.

This cultivator's Northern Spiritual Energy was strong enough to be at the Mingmu Advanced Stage, and since he wasn't concealing his aura, Ling Zhenfei could feel it.

The group immediately took seats at the bar, effectively driving everyone else away from that area.

Ling Zhenfei had initially been sitting at the bar as well but had to move to a table nearby without a word when he was chased off by the group.

Ling Zhenfei watched them from a distance trying to figure out what they were up to, and saw that they sat at the bar, right in front of the waitress inside.

Their gazes fixated on the waitress, a lecherous smile appearing in their eyes.

"Ge Qing, have you made up your mind?"

One of the men eyed Ge Qing up and down, unable to help swallowing his saliva.

"Shan Biao, I have nothing to think over, so stop dreaming," Ge Qing snapped after giving them a cold look.

The man was actually named Shan Biao, which was quite a brutish name. From their conversation, it was clear that Shan Biao and Ge Qing already knew each other.

Shan Biao sneered at Ge Qing, "Don't play hard to get, Ge Qing. Believe me, after I tell you one piece of news, you'll be crying and kneeling before me."

Ge Qing scoffed, "Don't worry, Shan Biao. Even if you tell me the sky is falling, I won't kneel before you."

Shan Biao's face showed a hint of anger, "Ungrateful bitch, I'll just tell you the truth, then. Wang Ming is dead. That guy was a police undercover, and I'm here to investigate this case."

Ling Zhenfei was startled. Could this Wang Ming be the undercover that Guo Qing'an mentioned? He saw Ge Qing's expression stiffen, obviously undergoing a complex emotional turmoil.

Shan Biao, seeing the look on Ge Qing's face, was very pleased. The reporter said, "You and Wang Ming were close. Who knows if you might also be a police undercover?"

Struggling to make her expression appear normal, Ge Qing responded, "Whether Wang Ming was an undercover or not, I don't know, but I'm just a bar waitress. Have you ever seen a bar waitress who is an undercover?"

Shan Biao was momentarily taken aback, then hurriedly said, "Whether you're an undercover or not, Wang Ming was an undercover, and you were his woman, so who's to say you weren't passing messages between Wang Ming and the police? That's tough to say."

"I'm just telling you the truth, I'm here to investigate this. We've already dealt with several inside operatives amongst us. Wang Ming was the last one, and we won't let anyone connected with these operatives get away."

As Shan Biao spoke, he stared intensely at Ge Qing, as if trying to discern something from her eyes.

Though Ling Zhenfei was listening from a distance, he was also shocked. From what Shan Biao had said, Ling Zhenfei had confirmed that the undercover Wang Ming had been discovered, probably arrested, and possibly already dead.

Originally, he had hoped to gain information from Wang Ming and open a breakthrough, but by this time it was already late. However, the appearance of these people reignited Ling Zhenfei's hopes.

Since these men were Wu Yingxiong's men, obtaining information from them would suffice.

Thinking this, Ling Zhenfei took a good look at these several individuals, among whom the strongest was the person from the Mingmu Realm, the rest had even lower abilities.

The person in the Mingmu Advanced Stage had been silent since sitting down. Given his strength, he must hold a certain position under Wu Yingxiong. Being able to come out with someone like Shan Biao must definitely be an order from above.

"Ge Qing, I've noticed, you don't seem very upset to hear about Wang Ming's death. So, your relationship with Wang Ming wasn't that deep after all. Wang Ming would be really disappointed to know this,"

Ge Qing's face showed discomfort. Though she maintained a normal appearance, those who were discerning could see she was actually sad, merely trying hard to endure it.

"What happened to Wang Ming, did you kill him?"

Upon hearing this from Ge Qing, Shan Biao finally laughed, "Right, that's what you should be asking. Wang Ming isn't dead yet, but he might as well be. I assure you, soon there will be no Wang Ming in this world."

"Plus, I am the one investigating this matter. The last person in my investigation is you. If I say that it was you passing messages to Wang Ming, then you might be the next one to die."

"What has it got to do with me? Don't frame me," Ge Qing's eyes filled with panic.

Shan Biao, smiling, said, "What do you mean, frame you? We follow the principle of 'better to kill three thousand by mistake than to let one go.' So, I can either mention your involvement or not; it's optional."

"You are insignificant, but if I include you in my investigation report, then they will send someone to kill you. If I don't write about you, you won't have any problems."

Ge Qing really looked scared now. She glanced at Shan Biao, "I'm really innocent! I was with Wang Ming all this time and never heard him mention any of this."

Shan Biao said very seriously, "Why should I not write about you? What if you really were the one passing messages between Wang Ming and the police? If I don't write about you and it's discovered later, then I would be the one in trouble."

"Then what can I do for you not to write about me?" Ge Qing's voice was low, fear evident in her tone as anyone would be afraid facing a death threat, with no one able to remain detached.

Shan Biao laughed cynically, "Ge Qing, you still don't know what I want? I've had my eye on you for a long time. While Wang Ming was around, I didn't make a move, but with Wang Ming out of the picture, it's your turn to let us have some fun."

Ge Qing's face flushed, she shook her head, "No, no, that's not possible."

"What's not possible? We don't ask for much. We brothers have been out investigating all day. If you play along with us today, I can guarantee your safety and disassociate you from this matter."

Shan Biao looked at Ge Qing, unable to help swallowing audibly, obviously lusting after her.

"What are you still thinking about? There's nothing to think over. Stop acting innocent; you know what you are, and it's your luck that we brothers fancy you," retorted a young guy with Shan Biao, scolding Ge Qing.

"Use your body to guarantee your safety—isn't that a great deal? Wang Ming is about to die; you need a new backer, and I can definitely offer you more than Wang Ming ever could."
