"Sis Ling, who is that Summer really" Xiaomo was a bit puzzled. "I looked up his information online and found out he's just a high-profile playboy with decent medical skills. Moreover, the miraculous tales about his abilities seem too exaggerated for me to believe. Online rumors always tend to be overblown."

"In Jianghai City, there's this legendary Sky Brother who’s said to command respect from anyone and everyone, regardless of whether they’re in the legal or illegal world. From high-ranking government officials to ordinary citizens, everyone knows one thing: In Jianghai City, you can offend the provincial governor but not Summer." Cheng Ling had an unusual expression on her face. "This Sky Brother is actually Summer himself. He calls himself the number-one miracle doctor and the number-one expert in the world. No one seems to know his true origins; only that nobody dares provoke him."

"Sis Ling, no matter how famous he might be in Jianghai City, it’s still just Jianghai City after all. We’re here in Yenan City now, and Jianghai and Yenan are hundreds of kilometers apart," Xiaomo said with a hint of worry in her voice.

"So what" Cheng Ling smiled faintly. "Summer did something shocking as soon as he arrived here: He mobilized an entire team of special forces to surround the Moonfall Lake Hotel, and even got over a hundred state security agents involved in the investigation. Among those being investigated were dozens of police officers from Yenan City’s police force. Do you really think anyone dares do such a thing in Yenan City"

"But as they say, might doesn’t always prevail over local power. In Yenan City, nobody would dare offend the old man," Xiaomo was clearly still concerned.

"No, I’m absolutely sure that old beast wouldn’t dare provoke Summer." Cheng Ling’s face revealed a trace of hatred. "Because yesterday when I mentioned Summer's name, this supposedly unflappable old beast showed fear in his eyes! That was the first time I’ve ever seen him look scared. Even though it passed quickly, I observe him daily and there's no way I could be mistaken!"

"What The old man is afraid of Summer" Xiaomo exclaimed in shock.

"Many people fear the summer. When the provincial department learned that he would be dealing with a series of murders here during the summer, they specially sent Hu Feifei, the handsome vice-department's beautiful niece, over as if they wanted to send this pretty policewoman into his lair." Cheng Ling showed a mocking expression, "Unfortunately, I heard there’s a stunningly beautiful policewoman in Jianghai City who puts Hu Feifei to shame. Moreover, Summer has by his side a woman so enchanting she could be mistaken for a goddess. It seems that the so-called beauty strategy doesn’t work on him at all."

"That Summer is indeed quite perverted; Zhao Yujie, An Keke, and even that witch, Meng Meng, are all closely tied to him," Xiao Mo agreed.

"In this world, who isn't attracted to beauty If they're not drawn to women, then it's men. Cheng Ling said indifferently: "Fair women are a curse; beauty is both an asset and a disaster. This point you and I understand very well. To some men, we’re merely beautiful playthings. If we don’t want to be toys, then we can only turn the tables on them and treat them as such."

Xiao Mo's face darkened slightly; she remained silent for a long time, obviously recalling painful memories.

The sound of her phone ringing suddenly interrupted the silence.

Cheng Ling answered the call. After a moment, she said, "I understand."

After hanging up, Cheng Ling's expression became gloomy.

"Sis Ling, what happened" Xiao Mo sensed something was amiss and couldn't help but ask softly.

"All those special forces troops have left, and most of the agents from State Security are gone too. It seems like Xia Tian has given up on this case," Cheng Ling said softly.

"But Sister Ling, aren’t you worried that he’ll trace it back to you" Xiao Mo asked curiously.

"I am concerned about him finding out about me. After all, Shen Yun was killed by someone I ordered. If they really find evidence linking me to the case, I probably won't survive either," Cheng Ling said slowly. "But I need him to put pressure on that old beast. If he continues investigating this case, the old beast will be more cautious. It would make it easier for me to deal with him. But if Xia Tian stops looking into this case, it’ll be even harder for me to take action against that old beast."

Xiao Mo didn’t know what to say and they both fell silent for a moment, quietly watching the lake water without saying anything.

After some time had passed, Cheng Ling’s phone rang again.

A few minutes later, after hanging up the call, a bright smile appeared on Cheng Ling's pretty face.

"Sister Ling, is there good news" Xiao Mo couldn’t help but ask.

"The case is still under investigation. Do you know who called me just now" Cheng Ling was very happy as she said with a smile, "It was Tian Bo Feng from the Major Crimes Unit. He’s the policeman in charge of investigating my husband's murder back then. Now, he’s investigating Bai Hua Lou and working with State Security—that is to say, cooperating with Xia Tian."

After a pause, Cheng Ling added: "He has always felt sympathetic towards my situation."

The Moonfall Lake Hotel finally returned to normal at least in appearance. Most guests and police officers had left the hotel; some were taken away by state security while others were escorted out by provincial police forces brought in by Hu Hongguang. Song Guangzhen's Black Panther Special Forces also received orders to leave, although the perimeter around the hotel remained intact and the hotel naturally could not open for business. In fact, it was about to be sealed off.

Xia Tian hypnotized Tianボ峰 quite乾脆ly; indeed, Tian Bo Feng knew a lot about the Bai Hua Tower because he had once investigated a murder case related to it. Although the case hadn't been resolved, his investigation had uncovered many secrets.

Xia Tian didn't ask personally since for him, the most important thing was still dealing with the Immortal Gate of Elusive Clouds. He simply asked Tian Bo Feng to cooperate with state security's actions; as for when they would find the perpetrator, that depended on their abilities.

As a result, Xia Tian had to switch hotels too. Although he originally wanted to wait here for Huang Jingyi to come to him, since she hadn't shown up yet, it seemed pointless to continue waiting. Xia Tian wasn't one to sit and wait for opportunities; he preferred taking the initiative.

Now all he hoped was that state security could quickly find out where Huang Jingyi was. As the saying goes, "The longer the night, the more dreams," this unresolved matter always made him uneasy.

"Long-legged girl, where do you want to stay" Holding a small travel bag, Xia Tian stood at the entrance of the Moonfall Lake Hotel and didn't know where to go. He was completely unfamiliar with the place.

Of course, he didn't expect Ye Yumei to really tell him where to stay; in his view, Ye Yumei was as unfamiliar with the place as he was, anyway. Besides, he knew she basically ignored him.

To his surprise, Ye Yumei actually answered him this time, though she only said two words: "God Mountain."

"It seems that there are no hotels to stay at on God Mountain," Xia Tian thought for a moment and said.

"I will go there to look around again," Ye Yumei coldly replied.

Of course, Xia Tian understood her meaning. She was not looking for a hotel but clearly searching for a way back to the Immortal Cloud Continent.

"Alright then, let's go find it." Xia Tian did not refuse the suggestion and he too wanted to locate that place; otherwise, how could he destroy it

"Chief Xia, wait!" Just as Xia Tian and Ye Yumei were about to leave, a pretty policewoman ran out from inside. It was none other than Hu Feifei.

"What is it" Although Xia Tian did not have any particular feelings for Hu Feifei, he still had no bad impression of her, especially knowing that she and Hu Tu were indirectly related. Thus, he treated her quite well.

"Chief Xia, Uncle said there are no good hotels nearby, but he has a friend who owns a villa next to Moonfall Lake. Right now, the villa is unoccupied; if Chief Xia doesn't mind, you could stay there for a few days. The conditions there would be better than a hotel," Hu Feifei quickly said.

"Oh, that works. You can stay there then." Xia Tian readily agreed. Anyway, he was planning to go to the Divine Mountain, so staying near Moonset Lake would be the best choice.

"Team Leader Xia, there are no servants in the villa for now. My cooking is quite decent. If you don't mind, I can cook some meals for you," Hu Feifei said after a moment's hesitation.

"Alright, go ahead." Xia Tian agreed once again.

"Great, then Team Leader Xia, please wait a moment while I arrange for someone to pick us up. I'm not sure of the exact location," Hu Feifei said, somewhat excitedly.

Xia Tian nodded and waited for several minutes before an Audi car drove over.

About ten minutes later, they arrived at a villa beside Moonset Lake. The driver handed the car keys and the house keys to Hu Feifei and then left quickly. From now on, both the car and the villa would temporarily be under Xia Tian's disposal.

The villa was indeed right next to Moonset Lake, with its main gate facing directly towards the Divine Mountain. There was no doubt that building a villa in such a place wasn't just about having money; Hu Hongguang’s so-called friend must have an extraordinary background as well.

"You stay here first. We're going to play around at the Divine Mountain." Xia Tian didn’t stay long in the villa and after saying goodbye to Hu Feifei, he walked over water once more, quickly disappearing from Hu Feifei’s sight together with Ye Yumei.ms and curses because three men were pummeling another person to the ground.A few people nearby gathered to watch but no one dared to intervene.
