<h4>Chapter 1195: Chapter 1202: The Influence of Hong Wei</h4>


    "And what else?"


    "I looked into it, and seventy percent of the entertainment industry in Beijing belongs to Hong Wei. Just the annual profit from this aspect alone reaches billions, not including other illegal earnings and profits frompanies he operates. If you add it all up, it’s estimated to be hundreds of billions. However, I’ve heard that Hong Wei spends as much as a billion each year on favors, with arge portion used to curry favor with those above." Saying this, Tang Guolun gave Ling Chen a ’you know what I mean’ look.


    "Aside from this, have you found any of his secret hideouts?" Ling Chen asked.


    "This is rather difficult to find. So far, there’s been no sess. Hong Wei operates so many entertainment venues, every hotel, nightclub, and foot spa could be his hideout, making it quite troublesome to search. Additionally, we are currently understaffed, and many tasks are hard to carry out."


    "I’ve contacted Fatty, a group will arrive in Beijing tonight."


    As soon as he finished speaking, the ringtone of Ling Chen’s phone rang from his pocket. He answered the call; it was Hu Fei calling. Whatever Hu Fei said on the other end, Ling Chen’s expression immediately soured.


    "Alright, I got it. Try to figure something out, and get people over here as soon as possible." Finishing speaking, Ling Chen hung up the phone and looked at Tang Guolun, saying, "We’ve run into some trouble."


    "What’s going on?"


    "Fatty called to tell me that our people were just intercepted at the airport, apparently they’re not allowed into Beijing and will be sent back."


    Tang Guolun frowned and asked, "Why?"


    "Do you even need to ask? It must be Hong Wei’s doing. Hong Wei framed them, saying they were carrying dangerous items. There’s nothing I can do about it; I can only have them return first, and send another batch over. But doing so will take a few days. Hong Wei should be aware of this, so if I’m not mistaken, he will definitely make a move in these two days."


    "You mean... he will directlye after us?" Jiang Yunkai chimed in from the side, "He doesn’t have any evidence to prove we did it, I..."


    Before Jiang Yunkai could finish, Tang Guolun interjected, "Do you think someone like him needs evidence?"


    "In short, everyone should be cautious, and try toy low for the next few days." Saying this, Ling Chen turned to look at Zhu Qing in the corner, smiled, and said, "Lady Zhu, things might be tough for you these few days."


    Deep into the night.


    Hong Family vi.


    A Mercedes sedan slowly drove through the gates, and a middle-aged man in a suit got out of the car, quickly entering the vi with a butler apanying him.


    "Mr. Hong."


    "Master Ren, what brings you rushing to see me sote?"


    Ren Han said gravely, "What happened to Ren Chong? I just found out he was sent to the hospital’s intensive care unit and is still in critical condition. Wasn’t he supposed to attend a banquet tonight? How did this happen?"


    "Master Ren, don’t be so upset, sit down and let’s talk slowly."


    Once Ren Han sat down, Hong Wei began to ask, "Master Ren, do you happen to know Ling Chen?"


    "Ling Chen?" Ren Han’s expression changed slightly, he nodded, and said, "I know him, I met him a few times in East Sea City the other day. Mr. Hong, why are you suddenly bringing him up?"


    Hong Wei casually stated, "Because tonight’s incident might be his doing. Aside from your son being seriously injured, several others were killed. I suspect the perpetrator deliberately spared your son’s life."


    "This... how is this possible?" Ren Han was startled, "Ren Chong and Ling Chen have no grievances, why would Ling Chen target my son?"


    "If you must me someone, me your son for being foolish enough to incite trouble for Ling Chen. As a result, those youths all lost their lives." Hong Wei rubbed his temples, saying, "Now their families are seeking justice from me. Master Ren, what do you suggest I do about this?"


    "This..." Ren Han was rendered speechless, momentarily falling silent.


    Seeing Ren Han hesitate to speak, Hong Wei asked with a sarcastic smile, "Why, Master Ren, are you not nning to avenge your son?"


    Ren Han sighed helplessly and stated, "If it were someone else, I would deal with him directly, but... Ling Chen cannot be touched."


    "Why?"


    "I’m... I’m afraid!"


    "Afraid?" Hong Wei’s eyes slightly opened, feigning a smile, "Master Ren, I’ve known you for so many years, and I’ve never seen you so timid. Does Ling Chen have three heads and six arms that even you fear to move against him?"


    "Mr. Hong, to be honest, it’s not Ling Chen I’m scared of, it’s the people behind Ling Chen. You should have heard of Tong Zhentian; he’s the most respected figure in the martial arts world today. With Tong Zhentian backing Ling Chen, how could I dare to act? After all, it’s my livelihood, and if I offend Tong Zhentian, I’ll never be able to survive in this circle."


    "Master Ren, I understand your concern. However, don’t forget, this is Beijing, my turf. What I say goes. Since Ling Chen is so formidable, I’m afraid I’ll have to trouble you to handle this matter. I don’t care what means you use, capture Ling Chen within two days, and I’ll have people fully support you. If you can’t handle even this small matter, then don’t bothering to see me anymore. Have I made myself clear?"


    Ren Han wanted to say something else, but upon meeting Hong Wei’s piercing gaze, he swallowed his words and nodded, "Yes, I understand."


    "Good. Once this matter is done, I won’t forget your reward. Haven’t you always wanted that plot next to the Martial Arts Academy to expand it? Once it’s done, I’ll have it sorted for you."


    Upon hearing this, Ren Han’s expression slightly improved.


    "Rest assured, Mr. Hong, I will not disappoint you."


    The night passed.


    The next morning, Ling Chen had just finished breakfast and was preparing to thoroughly investigate Hong Wei’s background with Tang Guolun. Before he could leave, a call suddenly disrupted Ling Chen’s ns.


    "Chen,e quickly!"


    Nanrong Hao’s anxious voice came through on the phone, and at the same time, Ling Chen heard banging noises on the other end.


    "Haozi, what’s going on?"


    "I’m not clear, I woke up and saw a lot of people outside making a fuss wanting to see Sister. Iined to the hotel, but they haven’t responded at all. Half an hour ago, I called the police, but there’s still no sign of them. Chen, they’re many and powerful, if you don’te soon, I’m really afraid something bad will happen."


    "Alright, I got it. Stay at the hotel, I’m heading over now." Hanging up the call, Ling Chen grabbed Zhu Qing and immediately headed towards the hotel where Nanrong Wanqing was staying.
