Chapter 748: Chapter 225: Secret_2

After a pause, Wei Hanshan saw that Brother Shi and Link didn’t care much about this matter which was important to him. He couldn’t help but sigh.

Despite the Octagon Martial Arts School’s recent focus on expanding its business empire, it was still at heart a Martial Arts School, and not a businessman chasing after wealth.

When wronged or victimized, they preferred to take revenge rather than swallow their pride for the sake of profit.

Wei Hanshan then presented his main argument for reconciliation, saying:

“There is one thing that I believe necessary to tell Hall Master Shi and Young Hero Lin.

This matter is extremely important and is relevant to the investigation that Young Hero Lin is currently undertaking.

One hundred sixty-eight years ago, at the peak of the Human Immortal Martial Path, a group of peculiar individuals caused chaos in the Jianghu, stirring the world.

These people called themselves ‘Witch’, with elusive whereabouts and unusual methods.

The martial artists of Jianghu, in cooperation with the troops of the Imperial Court, finally annihilated these peculiars after several major battles.

After joint verification by several Grandmasters, it was determined that this group of ‘Witch’ had fallen into demonic cultivation. Hence, their scriptures were burnt, inherits were cut off, and any writings about this group of ‘Witch’ were strictly banned from being circulated.

Thirty years ago, the ‘Witch’ made a comeback, appearing in Jianghu again but adopting a more sinister, bloodthirsty demeanor.

My family suffered a tragedy, my sister was abducted when we were children.

Three years ago, my sister found me, but she had completely become a stranger, even attempting to control me with evil methods to make me a puppet for her behind-the-scenes organization.

Being able to protect myself was a stretch already, I dared not offend them and didn’t report to the Imperial Court.

The ordeal that Miss Sisi has been through, is also caused by this re-emerged group of ‘Witch’.

That idiot Son, is also a pawn in the hands of this group of ‘Witch’.”

Link quietly listened to Wei Hanshan’s long speech, completely indifferent to the other party’s words of completely dissociating him from the matter. He coldly said: “‘Witch Charm’, a group of rats in the sewer. Did Mr. Wei really believe that we wouldn’t know? Say something we don’t know, otherwise, I’m afraid we cannot assist with what Mr. Wei is asking for.”

Wei Hanshan was greatly shocked.

Could it be that the Octagon Martial Arts School had found out about “Witch Charm”?

It seems that Yun Xinying’s escape without notice must have something to do with Young Hero Lin.

No wonder Young Hero Lin wanted to avoid all informants and act secretly today.

It turned out that he had found the tail of the “Witch Charm” organization and was trying to catch those rats.

Yun Xinying most likely suffered a big loss at the hands of Young Hero Lin.

Upon considering this, Wei Hanshan said seriously: “I have a certain amount of influence in the provincial city, and I have found out the three bases and one contact point of the ‘Witch Charm’ organization in the city.”

This was one of the only two startling news left by Wei Hanshan.

If this didn’t impress Young Hero Lin, then he would likely need to play his hidden card which was meant to save his life.

“The Wishful Gambling House, the Lotus Heart Boat, and the mansion next door to your house?”

Link asked back.

Wei Hanshan opened his mouth, then nodded in a defeated manner: “Indeed, these are the three bases. As for the contact point…”

As he spoke, Wei Hanshan carefully watched Link’s expression, trying to discern something.

Link gave a cryptic smile.

Wei Hanshan quickly whittled down his probing attitude, and confessed honestly: “The contact point is in the provincial city newspaper office, and the editor-in-chief, is one of the members of the ‘Witch Charm’ organization. Even her identity is unknown to my sister’s daughter, the one who outsmarted and caused harm to Miss Sisi; Yun Xinying. Both of them belong to two different lines and are not subordinated to each other.”

“Mr. Wei is really worthy of his reputation, being able to learn such secret information, I admire you,” said Link.

Upon saying this, he gave a bow with his fist.

This was not sarcasm, but sincerity.

Although Link had only had a brief experience with the “Witch” and only one confrontation, he could still infer how difficult “Witch” was to deal with.

The threat of ‘Witch’ were not in their direct killing power, but in their insidious and covert methods, which were difficult to guard against.

Being able to protect himself and subtly handle the coercion from the “Witch” was already very remarkable for Wei Hanshan.

Having the courage to investigate the other party and make progress was even more commendable.

“Shame! Shame!”

Wei Hanshan was a crafty person. How could he not differentiate between sincerity and insincerity?

Whilst being modest verbally, he felt satisfaction in his heart for earning Link’s praise.

Who was Young Hero Lin?

An exceptional talent of the Human Immortal Martial Path and an extraordinary manipulator of business and influence.

Being able to receive a word of “admiration” from Young Hero Lin was a commendable feat when spoken about.

However, Link, who had just expressed “admiration”, immediately switched the tone of his conversation and calmly said, “The information provided by Mr. Wei is very valuable, but it’s not enough.”

Upon hearing this, Wei Hanshan gave a bitter smile.

Before stepping out of his house, he knew that he would likely have to give up the critical piece of information he had been saving for a life-saving moment.

“Young Hero Lin, please assure us that our conversation will not be overheard.”

Wei Hanshan’s expression suddenly became extremely serious as he made this solemn request.

Link waved his hand, using both his Immortal Cultivator’s skills and spiritual power to seal off the guest hall.

No sound would reach the outside, even if they were to shout at the top of their lungs inside the hall.

This casual move instantly sent shockwaves through the two martial artists present.

Both Brother Shi and the middle-aged steward, Ah Chen, could seal off the guest hall, but they wouldn’t be able to do so with such ease.

Moreover, they could only identify one of the techniques Link used. They were unsure about the other technique and realised that they wouldn’t be able to break it within half an hour with their Normalization Realm Early Stage Immortal Cultivator status and Mechanical Martial Artist capability at Three Nucle 30% Mechanical Heart.

Wei Hanshan, who is not an ordinary businessman but also a Mechanical Martial Artist at Two Nucle 60%, was even more horrified.

Rumours in the Jianghu really cannot be trusted.

Is Young Hero Lin really just a Condensation Realm martial artist?

His strength is clearly greater than that of Hall Master Shi, who is at the Early Stage of the Normalization Realm!

Brother Shi couldn’t help but examine his Eighth Junior Brother, a trace of surprise flashing in his eyes.

As the elder brother, Shi Gandang was aware that his Eighth Junior Brother was a person of profound thoughts who liked to keep trump cards up his sleeve.

However, he never imagined that the trump card his Eighth Junior Brother kept would be so substantial.

Did their Master know that their Eighth Junior Brother had already reached the Middle Stage of the Normalization Realm, or even higher?

He must know, right?

Link didn’t pay any attention to their astonishment and said, “Mr. Wei, you can speak freely. Unless a Hollow Void Stage martial artist is present, nobody else will be able to overhear what you are about to say.”

“Okay.”

Wei Hanshan swallowed a few times, choosing his words carefully before saying, “The ‘Witch Charm’ organization was actually founded single-handedly by Hu Suqi, the second daughter of our province’s governor.”

“What?”

Brother Shi jumped up from his chair in surprise, “Are you certain that you’re talking about Miss Hu Suqi, the second daughter of Governor Hu?”

“This matter is of great importance. How would I dare to fabricate anything?”

A bitter smile surfaced on Wei Hanshan’s face, “This piece of information was discovered accidentally. I haven’t told anyone else about it, keeping it as my last resort for saving my life.”

“Saving your life?”

Brother Shi scoffed, “It seems to me more like it’s beckoning death!”

Wei Hanshan could only give a sheepish grin without saying anything.

This piece of news was indeed life-threatening, but he was highly confident that it could be used to save his life!

However, this is not something to reveal to others.

Link understood the reason for Brother Shi’s loss of composure.

Brother Shi, who had remained single and unwilling to leave the provincial city, was not only seeking to hone his Martial Way heart but also because he had a beloved.

This woman was none other than the second daughter of the governor of this province, Hu Suqi!

When this layer of wrapping paper was torn, Link immediately understood which secret realm the “Witch Charm” organization wanted to send Master Li Shuwen as a puppet to – Death Valley, a place of legend where even a Hollow Void Stage martial artist could not guarantee a safe return, and it was located not far from this provincial city.

Despite understanding this, Link did not say it out loud, but merely stated to Wei Hanshan, “Mr. Wei, you can rest assured now, my upcoming investigation will not involve Wei Corporation. As long as Mr. Wei and his family do not get involved in this matter again.”

“Thank you, Young Hero Lin, I understand! I will confine my son at once, and will not permit him to go anywhere.”

Having received Link’s assurance, Wei Hanshan finally felt a sense of relief.

As long as Young Hero Lin does not investigate Wei Corporation, and Hall Master Shi speaks a few good words about Wei Corporation.

If the Wei Family could peacefully overcome this crisis, they may even turn a curse into a blessing.

Which major business owner doesn’t want to collaborate with the Octagon Martial Arts School?
