Today's events have greatly angered Ye Tian. These people were lawless, daring to rob people on the road in broad daylight. If he hadn't possessed martial arts skills, he, Lin Ziyi, and Han Lingyan would have been in danger today.
The bald man's head throbbed intensely. He knew he had encountered a formidable opponent and that if he didn't summon Boss Black Dragon, he might not survive this ordeal. With no other choice, he took out his phone and, trembling, called Black Dragon.
Han Lingyan: "The Black Dragon this person mentioned, could it be one of the Five Dragons from the Five Dragons and Nine Phoenixes?"
After the bald man finished his call, Ye Tian asked, "The Black Dragon you speak of, does he work for the Long family?"
The bald man's eyes lit up. "You know our boss?"
"Slap!"
Ye Tian raised his hand and delivered a slap, nearly knocking the man unconscious again. The bald man grimaced. "Please, don't hit me anymore. I have a head injury, and another blow could be fatal."
Ye Tian: "If you don't want to die, you'd best answer my questions honestly."
"Yes, yes, I will answer truthfully," the man said quickly after being struck twice, fearing Ye Tian would hit him again.
"Why did you stop us?"
The bald man: "It was Black Dragon's order to intercept Li Qingmei. However, since we couldn't find Li Qingmei, we had to find the lady who returned to the country with her."
Ye Tian: "Why does Black Dragon want to find Li Qingmei?"
The bald man: "It seems there's a conflict between them. Li Qingmei couldn't stand staying in the country back then, which is why she went to North America. Now she's a powerful figure over there, and with her sudden return, Black Dragon naturally wants to seize the opportunity to control her."
Ye Tian: "As fellow members of the Five Dragons and Nine Phoenixes, isn't he afraid of the Long family's opposition?"
This bald man seemed to know quite a bit. "The Long family certainly won't object. Li Qingmei has become powerful in North America and hasn't listened to the Long family's commands much in the past two years. Although Black Dragon also listens to the Long family, he has gained considerable strength. Now that Black Dragon intends to deal with Li Qingmei, the Long family is happy to see it happen."
Ye Tian let out a hum and, along with Lin Ziyi and Han Lingyan, entered the bald man's office to await the appearance of Black Dragon.
Han Lingyan: "Many of the Five Dragons and Nine Phoenixes have become formidable. The Long family invested heavily in cultivating them back then, and it seems this strategy has gone awry."
Ye Tian: "If the Long family could cultivate them, they naturally have the ability to control them."
Han Lingyan was taken aback. "Are you saying all of this is just an illusion?"
Ye Tian: "I'm not sure, but I have a feeling things aren't that simple."
He then asked, "Who are the Five Dragons and Nine Phoenixes?"
Han Lingyan: "The Five Dragons each control a region, one in the east, west, north, south, and center, designated as Dragon One, Dragon Two, and so on, with Dragon Five being the youngest. They are also known by their colors: Azure Dragon, Black Dragon, White Dragon, Crimson Dragon, and Yellow Dragon. This Black Dragon should be Dragon Three, who guards the west."
"The Nine Phoenixes are mostly responsible for overseas affairs. For example, Spirit Phoenix is in Japan, and Fire Phoenix is in Africa. Li Qingmei ranks sixth and is known as Ice Phoenix."
Ye Tian: "The Long family's influence and methods are indeed extraordinary." Da Feng Novel Network
Han Lingyan: "The Long family is unfathomable. According to Qingmei, a highly capable individual plans for the Long family, and the plans for the Five Dragons and Nine Phoenixes are executed by him. This person's origins are mysterious, and he is honored by the Long family as the Strategist."
After sitting for a while, another car drove into the repair shop. A woman alighted from the car, followed by two other women. This woman was tall, at least 1.72 meters. Despite the temperature being around twenty-six or twenty-seven degrees Celsius, she wore a leather jacket and leather pants, all in black. She had fair skin, dark hair, and wore sunglasses as she walked towards the office.
Han Lingyan stared at her in surprise. "She's Li Qingmei. How did she know we were here?"
Li Qingmei pushed open the door, her gaze sweeping across the room before finally settling on Ye Tian. She asked, "Are you Boss Ye?"
Ye Tian: "I am. Are you Ice Phoenix Li Qingmei?"
The woman nodded slightly. "I am. I've heard a lot about Boss Ye."
"You flatter me," Ye Tian said. "Please, have a seat."
Ice Phoenix smiled. "Thank you."
After sitting down, Han Lingyan asked curiously, "Qingmei, how did you know we were here?"
Li Qingmei: "Black Dragon was investigating me, and I was investigating him. Finding you wasn't difficult."
Han Lingyan: "You knew this was Black Dragon's territory and you still dared to come?"
Li Qingmei: "I was worried about your safety, so I planned to rescue you after making proper preparations. I didn't expect Boss Ye to be so capable and handle this group of trash himself."
