Chapter 131: The Peony Lady

the other side, it was naturally not within his consideration.In his worldview, everyone is born with a distinction of high and low. He thinks that being able to give another child's heart transplan...[ ]

Zhou Bin and Xu Hong finally knew who had been watching them!

The mere words "Shadow Gate" were enough to strike fear into their hearts, and now that the first person in charge of Shadow Gate's eastern district had arrived, how could they not panic.

Furthermore, they both simultaneously thought of another question: if Ling Hao could command the Judge of Hell, what was his identity!

King of the West, Master of the Shadow Gate, Ling Shuai!

Goodness! Could you please not be so scary! Oh my... Even this big shot from the clouds is here!

Could it be that Madam Peony committed another major crime recently, prompting such a high-profile figure to personally intervene and apprehend her

"Can you speak now" the judge continued, "Come clean and tell me everything. I can help you get leniency!"

“I... I don't know where she is...” Zhou Bin spoke with difficulty: “I... We are only peripheral members of Mo Ge, we... don't know her whereabouts...”

"Is that so Since you don't know, it holds no value to us." Ling Hao's voice turned cold after he finished speaking: "Kill both of them!"

"Yes!" the judge responded in a deep voice. With a flick of his wrist, the Cold Moon Curved Blade appeared in his hand.

"No…"

Both of them knelt down before Ling Hao.

"No...don't kill me..." Zhou Bin quickly cried out, "I... I will tell you..."

After a slight pause, he continued, "Her rank is higher than mine. Normally, I... I wouldn't have been able to know her whereabouts at all. But... but today just happened to be her birthday..."

"As was her custom, she would always make time to host a small birthday party at her villa, even if she was incredibly busy."

"Where is her villa" the judge asked.

"This... This is the specific address..." Zhou Bin trembled and took paper and a pen from the side, scribbling an address before handing it to the judge.

"You better not lie to us, or else you know the consequences!" The judge took the address and looked at it.

Half an hour later, Ling Hao and his two companions drove away. Zhou Bin, Xu Hong, and all the outer members of Moge from the teahouse were taken away by the Yingmen disciples.

Zhou Bin's address is two or three hundred kilometers away from Dongzhou. According to administrative divisions, it belongs to the suburbs of Jianghai City.

At four in the afternoon, the Land Rover stopped at the foot of a picturesque mountain. Before them was a secluded manor, nestled against the slopes.

At the entrance of the estate is a sizable artificial lake, where several black swans and pairs of mandarin ducks are swimming. A small arched bridge adorned with railings connects the lake to the main gate of the estate.

"She sure knows how to enjoy herself!" The Judge scanned the surroundings after they got out of the carriage.

"According to Zhou Bin, Mrs. Peony's apparent identity is the vice president of the Jianghai Chamber of Commerce, and with Moge supporting her behind the scenes, it's natural for her to make some small money," Lu Yue responded lightly.

"Come and have a look!" Ling Hao scanned the surroundings and walked toward the arch bridge.

The manor was bustling with activity, a hive of lively conversation. Men and women, dressed in their finest attire, mingled in groups, sipping wine and engaging in animated discussions.

Around the manor, twenty to thirty men in black stood like javelins, their physiques strong and their auras fierce.

Not far from the entrance of the manor, several middle-aged men and women gathered around a tall woman, chatting animatedly.

The woman was about thirty-five years old, with delicate features and a naturally alluring presence. There was a mole the size of a grain of rice in the center of her brow, and her skin was as smooth and flawless as porcelain.

About 1.7 meters tall, with a graceful figure, noble temperament, elegant demeanor, and a mature aura of a strong woman radiating from her whole body.

No wonder Zhao Yuehua and Heishandiao both said that Madam Peony was a very beautiful woman; they were truly not exaggerating.

"Happy birthday, Lin Jie!" one of the young masters raised his glass and said, "I wish you a happy birthday every year, and may you have today's happiness every day!"

The full name of Madam Peony is Zeng Xuelian. Outside of Moge, people regardless of gender or age call her Sister Lin.

"Thank you, Huang Shao!" Zeng Xue Lin smiled sweetly and raised her glass for a light sip.

"Lin Jie, about that project I asked you to inquire about last time, I'd still appreciate it if you could look into it further." The young master finished his drink and continued.

"Don't worry, Huang Shao. There will be results in three days." Zeng Xue Lin smiled again.

"Then, thank you!" The young master's eyes lit up.

"Huang Shao, don't be so polite!" Zeng Xue-lin responded with a smile.

Knock! Knock! Knock!

Just then, several footsteps sounded, led by an elder and a middle-aged man. Several attendants followed behind them.

"Excuse me, everyone, I'll be right back!" After seeing the two people, Zeng Xuelian said a few words to the surrounding people and quickly walked up to them.

"President Xu, I'm so surprised to see you here! It really makes me feel honored," said Zeng Xue Lin as she walked up to the two of them, smiling sweetly at the elder.

"Sister Lin, you were wrong today. You didn't even tell me about the birthday banquet. Do you look down on this old man of mine" The elderly man named Xu Yao responded with a smile.

"Mr. Xu is joking, I'm not afraid of troubling you!" Zeng XueLin smiled again, then looked at the middle-aged man: "Mr. Xu, may I ask who this is"

"Haha, let me introduce you," Xu Yao laughed twice: "This is Officer Ma, the deputy superintendent of Jiang Hai Special Inspectorate, whom I mentioned to you last time."

"I was just talking to Inspector Ma about something earlier and heard that you guys were having a get-together, so I asked him to come over with me for a drink."

Upon hearing his words, the surrounding crowd looked over one by one, their eyes filled with fear.

Most people present were well aware of what the Special Patrol Division was like—it was a direct link to the capital city, and even figures like Jiang Haiyun from the Clouds had reason to fear it!

...and the deputy inspector's position within the Special Patrol Division was quite high, second only to the governor and chief inspector. He could be considered a powerful figure.

As expected of Sister Lin, even such a big shot came to celebrate her birthday!

"Lin Jie, I hope I'm not disturbing you.

"

A middle-aged man named Ma He stretched out his hand towards Zeng Xue Lin, smiling. A flash of astonishment crossed his eyes.

"Brother Ma, you flatter me!" Zeng Xuelian shook hands with the other party and smiled seductively.

You are a distinguished guest, I'm afraid even an invitation wouldn't be enough to secure your presence. What would prompt you to interrupt me

After finishing his words, he looked back at Xu Yao and Ma: "President Xu, Big Brother Ma, let's go inside and have a chat!"

"Haha, okay!" Ma He said with a smile.

After that, the three of them turned and walked towards the villa.

Knock knock!

Just then, two dull sounds echoed from the entrance of the manor. Two men in black were seen flying in and landing on the ground, their heads at a strange angle as they passed out unconscious.

In a moment, Ling Hao and his two companions walked in steadily.

"Huh" At the sight of this, a trace of imperceptible coldness flashed from the depths of Zeng Xue Lin's eyes.

"Who is it Do you know what place this is To dare to be so brazen here, are you tired of living" The black-clothed men in the manor all walked towards the door.

"Today's banquet comes to an end, everyone please return!"

The judge ignored the group of men in black and instead looked at the men and women in the manor, speaking loudly.r one beauty too.""Haha... Sounds good!" Zhao Jiahua raised his glass and drained it in one gulp.Bang!Just then, a loud bang echoed from the entrance of the manor.Immediately after, a military Humvee...
