ng; nobody would have stood a chance against him. Li Mingguang was the top young talent of the Li family, yet he too proved to be不堪一擊 (incapable). In fact, after Summer's ice and fire spirit energy de...Chapter 391 Storm on the Horizon

"Divine Doctor Xia, for your great kindness to our family, I Zhang Tie have nothing to repay you with. In my life, I've never knelt before anyone; today, I can only express my gratitude this way!" The man looked at Xia Tian, his voice deep and resolute. "From now on, my life belongs to you!"

Xia Tian then realized that this guy was Jiang Xiaoru's husband who had attempted suicide multiple times. However, he seemed a bit displeased: "What would I want with your life Your life isn't worth anything!"

"Divine Doctor Xia, I know my life is worthless, but if you command me to do something, no matter what it is, even murder and arson, I won’t hesitate for a moment!" Zhang Tie looked up at Xia Tian, his expression firm.

"Murdering and setting fires are easier for me to handle myself." Xia Tian was somewhat unconvinced; in his eyes, this man named Zhang Tie wasn't of much value.

Zhang Tie couldn’t help but be stunned, at a loss for words.

At that moment, Xia Tian spoke again: "Hey, just now you said that you’d do anything I asked, right"

"Yes, Divine Doctor Xia. Whatever instruction you have for me, please give it; I’ll definitely carry it out perfectly!" Zhang Tie hurriedly replied.

"Oh, then hurry up and get out of here, keep your distance, don’t bother me. I’m going to spend some quality time with Yun Man." Xia Tian casually remarked.

Zhang Tie was taken aback once more.

Seeing that he hadn’t moved, Xia Tian grew a bit annoyed: "Hey, did you forget what you said If you don't leave on your own, I’ll throw you out!"

"No, no, Doctor Xia, I keep my word. Whatever you ask me to do, I will do it. I'm leaving right now!" Zhang Tie finally reacted and hurriedly said.

Zhang Tie got up from the ground and then respectfully greeted Xia Tian and Liu Yunman again: "Doctor Xia, Dr. Liu, I won't disturb you."

After saying this, Zhang Tie didn’t hesitate any longer and quickly left the room.

Xia Tian waved his hand, and a force surged towards the door, closing it. Then he muttered to himself: "Finally, no one will bother us."

Seeing Xia Tian's gaze pierce through her, Liu Yunman’s face couldn’t help but heat up, and her heart started racing without her realizing it. Does this guy want to do that now It’s not even eight o’clock yet!

The moment this thought occurred to her, she felt her body lighten as Xia Tian picked her up.

At the same time, in Beijing.

On top of the Great Wall, a tall figure stood proudly in the darkness. This was a man around thirty years old, with his hands behind his back and an expression that was cold yet majestic. He exuded an invisible aura of power; people who casually strolled on the Great Wall at night would feel a chill run down their spine when they passed by him, then quickly leave.

Just as this happened, another towering figure approached the stern man. Though his steps seemed slow, he suddenly appeared behind the cold man in an instant, and the imposing aura emitted from the stern man vanished as if it had never been there when the other man drew near. The oppressive atmosphere dissipated with him, and tourists who passed by no longer felt anything unusual.

This man was also around thirty years old and looked equally distinguished. However, his facial expression appeared unusually gentle, giving others a sense of easygoingness.

"Mingguang, you’ve returned early," the stern man didn’t turn to look back; his voice was cold as ice.

"I had to come back." The man referred to as Mingguang replied nonchalantly.

"This time, are you going to handle it personally" the stern-faced man asked.

"Perhaps," Mingguang said slowly. "I will wait for him in Jingcheng."

The stern-faced man frowned slightly: "As far as I know, he won't be coming to Jingcheng anytime soon."

"If his woman is in grave danger, I believe he'll come," Mingguang smiled faintly.

"But all of his women are in Jianghai City and not in Jingcheng." The stern-faced man shook his head.

"No, there's one in Jingcheng." Mingguang turned to look at the stern-faced man. "Mu Han, your protégée in Jingcheng."

"If you want to move against her, it would be best for you to ask my uncle’s opinion first," the stern-faced man said calmly. "Although she was raised by me, now we are enemies—and my uncle has made it clear to me that whoever wants to harm her will face his wrath! I have no choice but to sigh and shake my head: "Your uncle is really good to that brat!"

"Mingguang, did you summon me just to say these things" The stern-faced man seemed a little unhappy at this moment.

Mingguang smiled faintly. "Actually, you are very clear about it—once Xia Tian is confirmed as the Dark Emperor's disciple, your uncle will hand over the Sky Group to him, right"

"So what" The stern-faced man retorted.

"Are you really willing to see the Heavenly Group, which belongs to your Zhao family, fall into the hands of a person who has no connection with your Zhao family at all" Ming Guang asked calmly.

"No one can change my third uncle's decision." The stern man spoke slowly.

"What if your third uncle is no longer around" Ming Guang said this casually, seemingly indifferent to its implications.

The stern man suddenly turned around and stared directly at Ming Guang. A powerful aura emanated from his body once again, and his voice became even colder: "What do you intend to do with our Zhao family"

"Your greatest wish is to take over the Heavenly Group and reorganize the Dark Group, becoming a second Dark Emperor, while we want to help you achieve this wish." Ming Guang wasn't intimidated by the stern man's oppressive aura. He calmly answered.

"People from our Zhao family never kill each other!" The stern man said word by word.

Ming Guang still kept a calm expression: "I know that, which is why this matter should be handled by us of the Li Family."

The stern man coldly remarked: "Your Li Family had better have thought about the consequences!"

"We're just asking your third uncle to retire early. He's not young anymore and it's time for him to step down." Ming Guang smiled lightly, "And we believe that having you take over the Heavenly Group is the best choice."

After a pause, Ming Guang added: "There’s something I might need to remind you of. When Ming Xuan went to Jianghai originally, it was to help you with your business. The outcome he's facing today has some responsibility on you."

"Are you trying to hold me accountable" The stern man sneered.

Min Guang shook his head and said, "Our two families have always had a good relationship. I just hope that we can continue to cooperate smoothly."

The stern man pondered for a moment before slowly saying, "I can pretend not to know about this matter; this is as far as I'm willing to go."

"Alright then, I've said what needed to be said. Our action will soon begin, and I believe it won't take long before you become the new leader of Team Sky, while the day for the Dark Group's reconstruction isn’t too far off." After Min Guang finished his words, he turned around and walked away slowly, "I'll go first; we can talk again another day."

As he watched Min Guang’s departing figure, the stern man suddenly spoke up, “There is something I need to warn you all: if anything happens to my uncle, there will be someone who won't leave it alone. You’d better give that person an accident as well; otherwise, it might end up being you guys who have accidents."

"Are you talking about Mei'er" Min Guang didn’t turn around and continued walking slowly, "Don't worry, we'll handle everything properly."

The stern man remained silent, only watching until Min Guang disappeared into the night.

After a long while, he muttered two words out of his mouth: "White fool!"

The next morning.

Cold Ice arrived at the police station somewhat late; it was almost nine o'clock. As soon as she entered the police station, she frowned slightly, sensing something amiss. Everyone's gaze when they saw her seemed different from usual. She also noticed some people gathered in small groups whispering to each other, but once they spotted her, they quickly dispersed.

Her intuition told Cold Ice that these whispers were about her, yet she couldn't figure out what exactly they were discussing. If it was something related to her and Xia Tian, then surely everyone would know by now; there wouldn’t be any need for such secretive discussions

Upon entering the Special Forces office, Cold Ice felt the atmosphere even more eerie. While everyone greeted her as usual, after their greetings, an odd silence fell over the room. Everyone's expressions turned strange, and some seemed like they wanted to say something but held back.

"What's going on" Cold Bingbing asked coldly.

"N-nothing..." The group quickly shook their heads.

Cold Bingbing felt suspicious but was too lazy to ask further and stepped into her office.

As soon as she sat down, someone knocked on the door. She turned around and saw Tong Jiang standing there.

"Come in!" Cold Bingbing instructed.

Tong Jiang walked in, holding a newspaper and cautiously greeted Cold Bingbing: "Chief!"

"What is it" Cold Bingbing asked with some displeasure. Why was the whole police station acting so strange today

"Have you seen this paper, Chief" Tong Jiang handed the newspaper to Cold Bingbing.

Cold Bingbing took it and realized that it was the Jianghai Express, a newspaper with considerable influence in Jianghai City. It claimed to be the city's largest circulation newspaper. Of course, the main reason for its large circulation wasn't because of high quality but rather due to its affordable price. The newspaper cost only half a dollar but had at least 32 pages worth of content; even if someone bought it just to use as scrap paper, they would still feel like they got their money's worth.

Cold Bingbing usually read newspapers too, but she seldom looked at the Jianghai Express. Seeing Tong Jiang hand her this newspaper with such an odd expression made her realize there must be something unusual on it. As soon as she opened the paper, she saw a large headline on the front page: "Why Does the Illegitimate Daughter of a Corrupt Official Rise to Prominence Smoothly"ly, "Put me down first and stop acting silly! If you don't, I'll get really angry!""Sis Policewoman, I didn't act recklessly!" Xia Tian felt very innocent. "I just want to properly reward you after go...
