Immediately afterwards, Wei Meizi used thunderous methods to weed out those with ulterior motives, and she said indifferently, "All right, now I have a few matters to announce!"

As she spoke, she glanced at Ling Feng beside her and said after a moment of reflection, "This is Mr. Ling, who saved me from the siege of the Taizi Club. Now, at my invitation, he has become a Guest Elder of Flame Hall!"

"Secondly, all of Flame Hall's surrounding industries, except for the core businesses, will cease operations for the time being! The United Hearts Gang and the Taizi Club are making frequent moves, and we need to consolidate our forces, then deliver them a fatal blow!"

"Thirdly, send out the Shadow Group. Let the Taizi Club also taste the power of our Flame Hall!"

...

After issuing her brief orders, Wei Meizi said indifferently, "You may all leave now!"

Zhu Yang watched Wei Meizi, then looked at Ling Feng with his mask on, and finally left with the others without saying anything.

"Zhou Kai, contact the Shadow Group for me. I have several tasks I need to issue today!" Wei Meizi said indifferently.

Zhou Kai furrowed his brow, "Lady, the group leader... he..."

"You just need to deliver my message!" Wei Meizi said coldly.

"Yes, Lady!" Zhou Kai withdrew.

In the vast conference room, only Wei Meizi and Ling Feng remained.

"I didn't expect you to be so resolute. I thought you wouldn't have the heart to do it!" Ling Feng said nonchalantly as he looked around.

"Flame Hall is in tumultuous times!" Wei Meizi said coldly, "I will not let anyone undermine the foundation of Flame Hall!"

"Right, what's going on with your Shadow Group?" Ling Feng asked curiously, "The Shadow Group should be the strongest force of Flame Hall, shouldn't they? But it seems they are not heeding your commands?"

Wei Meizi sighed, "You're right, the Shadow Group is the most formidable presence of Flame Hall. In the past... my husband was the leader of the Shadow Group! Following the tradition of the Wei Family, a woman of the Wei Family must marry the leader of the Shadow Group, so..."

"So now the leader of the Shadow Group wants you to marry him, right?" Ling Feng said with a curl of his lips.

Wei Meizi sighed again, "That's right, however, I have always refused him, which is why the Shadow Group has always been out of my control!"

"So, if you want Flame Hall to achieve glory, you must first subdue the Shadow Group!" A slight smile appeared on the corners of Wei Meizi's mouth as if saying, let's see if it's a mule or a horse. They would know soon enough!

Ling Feng snorted and gently pinched Wei Meizi's smooth chin, "It looks like you've gained a lot more confidence since returning to Flame Hall! Have you forgotten the promise you made before?"

Wei Meizi's hand tightened instantly, and as she looked into Ling Feng's unruly eyes, her heart suddenly began to race. She said with some difficulty, "Master, I was wrong!"

Ling Feng let go of her hand and said indifferently, "I hope this is the last time. I've said that all I need is five years. During these five years, you are to obey my orders completely, and in turn, I will give you a Flame Hall that is glorious and at its peak! This is a trade, and I do not wish you to have any other thoughts, as I haven't found another tool handy enough for now!

But if you anger me, I won't hesitate to personally destroy Flame Hall."

Ling Feng's voice, filled with a killing aura, echoed in Wei Meizi's ears, making her involuntarily shiver.

"Master, I know I was wrong!" Wei Meizi quickly said, possibly because she had said it so much, Wei Meizi now didn't find it difficult at all to call Ling Feng 'master'!

"Right, I didn't know before that Meizi Entertainment is actually an enterprise belonging to Flame Hall!" Ling Feng, stroking his chin, said, "So, that means Chen Ningxue is one of your singers under your command?"

"Are you interested in Chen Ningxue, Master?" A cold gleam flashed in Wei Meizi's eyes, which quickly disappeared, "If you are interested, I can actually help you, and make Chen Ningxue your woman!"

Ling Feng looked at Wei Meizi and suddenly grasped her throat with his hand.

Wei Meizi's eyes widened, and a chill surged to her heart as Ling Feng coldly said, "Do you think Chen Ningxue is someone you can offer up as you please? I don't believe you are unaware of Chen Ningxue's background, and I'm quite clear about what you're plotting! While the Chen Family may be formidable, I am not especially afraid of them, but..."

As he spoke, Ling Feng increased the pressure of his hand, and Wei Meizi felt a killing aura engulf her, "If there's a next time, do you believe I would directly get rid of you? Although you've aged a bit, you still have a somewhat fearsome identity, the Underworld Black Widow, a role that's definitely thrilling to play with, don't you think?"

A chill ran through Wei Meizi's heart; she didn't expect that Ling Feng would also know Chen Ningxue's background. Hearing Ling Feng's words and feeling the force on her neck, Wei Meizi pleaded, "Master, I was wrong, I truly was wrong!"

Ling Feng let go of Wei Meizi, "Good, it's good that you know you were wrong, but I hope you won't entertain other thoughts. Next time, I won't continue to show any mercy!"

Wei Meizi nodded her head quickly.

"Right, at the end of the year there's a concert by Chen Ningxue, with your current situation, can you still hold it smoothly?" Ling Feng asked.

After all, Chen Ningxue was his friend, and now with Flame Hall's situation being unstable, Ling Feng was unsure whether Chen Ningxue's concert could go ahead without issues.

"There's no need to worry about that!" Wei Meizi said, "The identities of Chen Ningxue are well-known by Taizi Club and United Hearts Gang; they absolutely would not do anything to interfere with Ningxue's concert!"

"That's good to hear!" Ling Feng nodded, Chen Ningxue was holding a concert, and Ting Yu, that little girl, had long been looking forward to it.

"Master, do you know Ningxue?" Wei Meizi asked cautiously.

Ling Feng smiled faintly, "What you shouldn't know, it's better for you to remain ignorant!"

...

In the afternoon, a man around the age of thirty-five or thirty-six arrived at the Meizi Guild Hall.

"Meizi, have you decided?" The man's stature was not particularly tall, but he had a fierce presence, brimming with evil qi.

"Mu Xuan, let me introduce someone to you first!" Wei Meizi's body was mostly recovered by now, and she had already moved out of her wheelchair. Sitting on the sofa, she said, "This is my savior, and also a Guest Elder of Flame Hall, Mr. Ling!"

"Mr. Ling?" Mu Xuan looked at Ling Feng, a hint of confusion flashing in his eyes. With his perception, he actually couldn't gauge Ling Feng's depth.

"Mu Xuan, the reason I asked you here is about Flame Hall business!" Wei Meizi said earnestly, "United Hearts Gang and Taizi Club are pressing us hard, our power has been greatly compromised, and now it's time for the Shadow Group to take action!"

Mu Xuan looked at Wei Meizi and said, "Meizi, it's very simple for you to mobilize the Shadow Group, just agree to my marriage proposal, and all of this will be no issue! According to Flame Hall's rules, you are actually already my fiancée!"
