"What?!" Feng Tianlong was momentarily stunned by Wei Zhao's words. He had not expected Wei Zhao to be so formidable—to have actually kicked in the Red Conch's branch! After all, they had a peak late Earth-rank expert stationed there year-round!
Much as Feng Tianlong would have loved to tear the Red Conch's domestic branch out by the roots, the limits of his own strength had kept him from acting rashly.
"Xiao Yi, you're in Qingrun City?" Feng Tianlong asked.
"That's right. You knew their headquarters is in Qingrun City?" Wei Zhao was somewhat surprised—he had not expected Feng Tianlong to know the location of the Red Conch's headquarters as well.
"I'd only heard rumors, never confirmed them. But your car is in Qingrun City—I checked the positioning coordinates just now," Feng Tianlong said.
"You can see where my car is?" Wei Zhao was startled, and his expression turned somewhat strange. He had not expected Feng Tianlong to be able to see where his car was. Had he known, he could have simply called Feng Tianlong and saved himself the trouble of finding a local guide.
Still, the Red Conch had been careless too—they had actually tried to use that car to transport drugs. Once it was being tracked, they would not even know how they died.
"Of course I can see it. The car's current location... let me check the map—it should be the Fire Wolf Hotel in Qingrun City. Are you at the Fire Wolf Hotel?" Feng Tianlong asked.
"Yes, I'm right here. Uncle Feng, send someone over to take charge," Wei Zhao said.
"All right. I'll dispatch members of the local Mystery Investigation Bureau right away. I'm also getting on a plane now—I should be able to arrive a bit later," Feng Tianlong said quickly.
"Good." Wei Zhao hung up. He had not expected the car to be at the Fire Wolf Hotel right now—it was probably in the underground parking garage. He would know once he went to look. Wei Zhao turned to Sun Jingyan. "Are you all right?"
"I'm fine. They didn't do anything to me, just locked me up alone in a room," Sun Jingyan said. "What about you? You look injured."
"I'm fine." Wei Zhao had more or less recovered, so there was nothing to worry about.
As for the waiter in the hotel lobby and the Third Boss's men, they had all fled without a trace—though they had only run deeper into the hotel, not out of it. Wei Zhao was not worried about them escaping. When Feng Tianlong's people arrived, they would catch the whole nest in one sweep.
Wei Zhao simply shut the indoor entrance to the underground parking garage, then kept watch in the hotel lobby, waiting for Feng Tianlong's people to arrive.
Before long, the sound of engines came from the hotel entrance. Wei Zhao looked up and saw more than a dozen Cheetah off-road vehicles parked at the hotel's front doors. It seemed Feng Tianlong had also realized there would likely be quite a few people to arrest here, which was why he had sent so many vehicles.
Once the cars were parked, several dozen men in black filed briskly into the hotel. The man at their head saw Wei Zhao and immediately came over. "Hello, you must be Mr. Wei Zhaolin? I'm one of Captain Feng's subordinates—Chen Buyi, the Mystery Investigation Bureau's person in charge in Qingrun City."
"Hello, Mr. Chen." Wei Zhao nodded, then pointed at the Third Boss on the ground. "This is the Red Conch's Third Boss. Take him away. I've killed several of his cultivator underlings. As for the hotel's other waiters, arrest them as you see fit. I'm in room 1209—when Uncle Feng arrives, have him come find me directly."
"Understood, Mr. Lin." Chen Buyi nodded hurriedly. "You get some rest. Leave this place to me."
"By the way, delete the security camera footage. I don't want anyone to know I was here." By now Wei Zhao had removed the Thousand-Silk Mask and returned to his former appearance.
"No problem." Chen Buyi agreed readily.
