Everything Ling Feng was doing was not just to satisfy his own perverse delights! To gain complete control over Flame Hall, he needed to support a proxy who would obey him unconditionally, and Wei Meizi was the perfect candidate!

However, Ling Feng was also aware that a woman leading Flame Hall, capable of contending with United Hearts Gang and Taizi Club, would not be easily subdued. Therefore, Ling Feng decided to unleash a heavy dose and destroy Wei Meizi's defenses from the outset!

Despite knowing that Wei Meizi must harbor deep resentment, Ling Feng did not care. As long as she operated under his command, and could see the brilliant prospects of Flame Hall, she would naturally choose to submit!

"You will feel grateful for this decision in the future!" Ling Feng said condescendingly, looking down at Wei Meizi.

...

At this moment, in the high-level meeting of Flame Hall, many were furrowing their brows.

"The Lady has been missing for a day!" said a man in his forties, sternly, "We received news from the Taizi Club that the Lady has met with some misfortune!"

"Gao Boyang, is your information accurate?" another man asked.

Gao Boyang nodded, "We have found the Lady's blasted car and three bodyguards' corpses, but there's no trace of the Lady! However, I think the situation is not optimistic!"

Hearing Gao Boyang's words, everyone's faces darkened. Since last night, people from Taizi Club and United Hearts Gang had attacked Flame Hall's industries like madmen. Many of Flame Hall's businesses had already shut down, and many grassroots members had been seriously injured! Now, Flame Hall was filled with an air of panic!

"Our situation is very critical right now!" said an elderly man in his sixties, standing up to speak, "My family must also understand that currently, the higher-ups are sitting back and watching the tiger fight, and Taizi Club and United Hearts Gang have clearly teamed up already. Flame Hall was already at a disadvantage, and now with Meizi out of the picture, Flame Hall is headless.

How can we withstand the opponents' onslaught?"

"Therefore, I propose that we need to establish an acting leader to deal with the impending crisis!" the elderly man said solemnly.

"Senior Chen is right!" said someone, standing up after the elderly man finished speaking, "I propose that Uncle Chen takes the command in this crisis! After all, Uncle Chen is a senior who has been with the former Hall Master. In terms of seniority and capability, Uncle Chen is the unequivocal choice!"

"Yes, I also support Uncle Chen!"

"Indeed, in terms of experience and prestige, Uncle Chen is the only choice!"

...

The others remained silent, and it was clear to all that with Wei Meizi likely compromised, Uncle Chen harbored ideas for the position of the Hall Master!

"Now that the Lady's life and death are uncertain, shouldn't we first find the Lady?" the previous man hesitated before speaking.

"Zhu Yang, I know you are worried about Meizi!" Uncle Chen said slowly and deliberately, "I am also very worried about the girl Meizi, but the situation has changed now! Meizi might have fallen into the hands of Taizi Club, and what we need to do now is to unite our strength and save Flame Hall!"

Gao Boyang also sighed and said, "Zhu Yang, Uncle Chen is right. Our Flame Hall is now in a precarious situation. On one hand, we need to find Lady, and on the other hand, we must also make the worst plans!"

Zhu Yang's lips trembled as he looked at the calm-faced Uncle Chen, unable to suppress the anger in his heart, "Uncle Chen, how do you plan to find Lady?"

Uncle Chen frowned, knowing very well that Zhu Yang had always adored Lady, and was one of Wei Meizi's most loyal supporters. Now that Wei Meizi's life and death were uncertain, Zhu Yang naturally became impatient!

"This issue will require long-term planning," Uncle Chen's eyes flashed with a shadow, Wei Meizi had controlled the Flame Hall for twelve years and indeed cultivated many confidants. It seemed he needed to find a time to deal with all these confidants completely; otherwise, they would greatly impact his control.

After making up his mind, Uncle Chen looked at Zhu Yang and said, "Now, it's very likely that Meizi has been captured by the Taizi Club, so we first need to confirm whether Meizi is alive or dead. If she is indeed in the hands of the Taizi Club, we will then think of ways to rescue her!"

Zhu Yang sighed, having no other good solutions at the moment, "Damn Taizi Club!"

"Since no one has any objections, I will reluctantly take on the role of Acting Hall Master!" Uncle Chen stood up, looking around indifferently, "To secure our position against external threats, we must first stabilize internally. Now that I am the Acting Hall Master, the first thing I will do is to eliminate the traitors within our Flame Hall!" Uncle Chen's tone carried a chilling intent to kill!

At these words, everyone shivered! With the Three Great Powers competing, it was natural for them to have spies infiltrating each other's ranks!

"That's right, at this time, we need to unite and deal seriously with these spies!" said a man standing next to Uncle Chen resolutely, "Uncle Chen had long noticed the existence of traitors within the Flame Hall, so after a secret investigation, we have now identified the faces of these traitors!"

The atmosphere in the meeting room tightened, while Uncle Chen sat indifferently, as if everything was under his control!

"Now let me reveal the names of the traitors, so that our brothers can see who the real culprits are!" The man sneered as he pulled out a paper filled with names.

"Chen Tao, Ou Chen, Zheng Tianyao, Ji Hailong..." As each name was read out, everyone present shuddered!

Zhu Yang's face showed shock and disbelief, "How is that possible? How could they be traitors? There must be a mistake!"

But the man ignored Zhu Yang and continued reading until he read out one last name, "Zhu Yang!"

Seeing the cold smirk on the man's face, Zhu Yang instantly understood that this list was not of traitors at all, but rather a list of the Direct Lineage of Lady!

"Chen Haifeng, are you staging a rebellion?" Zhu Yang suddenly stood up, pointing at Uncle Chen and shouted, "Lady's life is uncertain, yet here you are trying to seize power. Are you being fair to the old Hall Master? Are you being fair to the brothers of Flame Hall?"

Chen Haifeng laughed, "Zhu Yang, what use is your pretense now? I had long noticed your misconduct! Surely, your role in Meizi's peril cannot be overlooked, can it?"

"What are you saying?" Zhu Yang looked at Chen Haifeng incredulously, "Are you framing me?"

Uncle Chen said with a smile, "Zhu Yang exploited Meizi's trust, secretly contacted the Taizi Club, and ambushed Meizi on her way. As an elder, I must kill Zhu Yang to avenge Meizi! At the same time, I must endure the grief to take on the role of Acting Hall Master and prevent our leader's life work from being destroyed! Do you think this script is good?"
