ed and wait for me!"Chen Ping An hadn't even thought about it before answering, but as soon as he finished speaking, he suddenly understood why Zhao Shikai had used that strange expression when asking...Seeing Xiao Meijin and Jiang Shunli still wanting to crawl under Chen Ping's feet to beg for mercy, Kong Wanjun hurriedly signaled Huang Shijin to drag the two of them out. Even Liao Xue, who hadn't even had a chance to apologize to Chen Ping, was dragged out.

These people's apologies were dragging on and delaying his son's apology.

After clearing away the other unimportant people, Huang Shijin personally led a group forward to drag Jiang Shunli, Xiao Meiqin, and Liao Xue out together.

Not long after, only Elder Jiang, the Governor, Chen Ping'an, Jiang Chuyin, Gao Weiwei, Jiang Tongtong, and the Kong family father and son remained in the Jiang family hall.

Knowing that a conventional apology wouldn't work given Chen Ping'an's recent treatment of Xiao Meiqin and Jiang Shunli, Kong Wanjun quietly passed the gift he brought to his son Kong Jiangshan. He then whispered a few words in his son's ear before gesturing for Kong Jiangshan to step forward and apologize to Chen Ping'an.

"Mr. Chen is right, one doesn't know a person until they clash. I sincerely apologize to Mr. Chen for my rash actions just now. This golden needle was bought at a high price by my friend at an auction some time ago. Legend has it that there's a huge secret hidden inside this needle. As long as one touches the secret, they can command the four Heavenly Yellows on their shoulders. However, my son and I are dull-witted. We have been pondering for a long time but haven't grasped anything. Now, I present this golden needle to Mr. Chen as a token of my apology. I hope Mr. Chen will overlook past grievances and accept my gift, thus erasing our feud."

Kong Jiangshan respectfully presented the ancient, plain box his father had given him to Chen Ping'an with both hands.

Chen Pingan originally still wanted to make things difficult for the Kong family, after all, Kong Jiangshan had just pointed a gun at his daughter Jiang Tongtong's head. This was something he couldn't tolerate.

But when he heard Kong Jiangshan's words, his heart couldn't help but move. Isn't this the fifth golden needle he was looking for

To unlock the secrets of the Golden Needle, one must use the blood of a person who has cultivated the Art of Controlling Phoenixes. Since neither Kong father nor son had ever practiced the Art of Controlling Phoenixes, how could they possibly comprehend its intricacies

Unexpectedly, the fifth golden needle that had always eluded Chen Ping appeared right before his eyes, filling him with excitement and joy.

I've found it after searching everywhere, and all I had to do was nothing.

My master once told me that I was destined to meet the golden needle, even if I didn't actively seek it out, fate would bring it to me. It seems my master wasn't pulling my leg.

Now that the 5th golden needle has appeared, the next one is just around the corner. As long as we find the 6th golden needle, we can control the Dragon Burial Hall's all-seeing intelligence network.

Then we will hopefully be able to find Mom and my sister.

Although his heart was pounding with excitement, Chen Ping'an didn't show it on his face.

Even his gaze towards the Kong family father and son remained as cold as ever.

While that is important to him, his daughter's life is equally important. Just now Kong Jiangshan pointed a gun at his daughter's head. If he forgave the other party like this, wouldn't that be putting his daughter's life in jeopardy!

"Humph!"

Chen Ping snorted coldly and said that this matter was not so easy to solve.

Chen Ping'an's unwillingness to compromise left the Kong father and son somewhat at a loss.

Although Chen Ping'an was not considered important by his father and son, his relationship with the provincial governor forced them to take him seriously.

The Lord Mayor just said that they offended Mr. Chen. If Mr. Chen doesn't forgive them, they'll have to deal with the consequences themselves.

The governor has made his stance clear. You two have to find a way to appease Chen Ping'an, or else you'll be sorry.

Now that the father and son have sincerely apologized, Chen Pingan still looks unyielding. The Kong family father and son don't know what to do and can only turn to the governor for help.alace could only be beaten up in front of him. Li Qiushui had no choice but to give up the idea of fighting Chen Ping'an.This kid is a weirdo. He's young, but his skill level is ridiculously high.At f...
