According to Zhou Weijun, he and Yuan Shao knew each other since they were young and were very good friends.

Yuan Shao claimed to be a descendant of Yuan Tiangang, understood some mysterious techniques, and even often joked with Zhou Weijun, calling himself the Great General.

Zhou Weijun always considered Yuan Shao's words as boasting and never took them seriously.

Because Zhou Weijun's father, Zhou Huairen, was very knowledgeable about antiques, Yuan Shao had also apprenticed under Zhou Huairen to learn about antiques.

Back then, Zhou Weijun often joined Yuan Shao in excavating many tombs and always regarded Yuan Shao as a friend.

But there was one time when Yuan Shao somehow managed to drug Zhou Weijun's woman, Zhou Qing'er's mother, with ulterior motives, and Zhou Weijun caught him in the act.

From then on, the two had a falling out.

Zhou Weijun, in his youthful vigor, spared no effort to seize all of Yuan Shao's assets and even sought to annihilate Yuan Shao.

Yuan Shao fled and seemed to have gone abroad, with no news for nearly twenty years.

Zhou Weijun always thought Yuan Shao was dead, so his sudden return now clearly indicated a pursuit of past revenge.

"Brother Ye, my father once said that Yuan Shao had a rebellious nature and should not be befriended, but I didn't believe him and considered Yuan Shao a confidant. If I hadn't caught him in the act that time, Qing'er's mother would have fallen victim to him!" Zhou Weijun said angrily, "Back then, I only wanted to kill him, thinking he had died abroad after so many years, but now he's returned."

"I know it won't be easy to resolve the grudge between us. Upon receiving the message, I immediately had Yuan Shao investigated, but I didn't expect him to come prepared this time."

Ye Guichen heard this and asked doubtfully, "What do you mean?"

"He brought three experts. Those three seem extraordinary and are called Shui Liao, Tu Wan, and Huo Yi," Zhou Weijun said, with a grim face, glancing at Huo Liao. "The methods of those three are extremely odd. Huo Liao seems to be a very strong fighter, able to lift thousands of pounds with ease and has no trouble killing a tiger with his bare hands."

"Moreover, Tu Wan is said to be a short person, less than 1.4 meters tall, but is a master gambler."

"As for Huo Yi, he follows Yuan Shao closely, and I don't know what he's capable of."

Ye Guichen hadn't expected Zhou Weijun to investigate so thoroughly, but thinking again, since the other party was after his life, Zhou Weijun had to go all out to investigate.

However, for Zhou Weijun, not investigating was no problem. The result of his investigation left him chilled.

He clearly understood that if Yuan Shao wanted his life, it would be easy with just those three experts under his command.

Zhou Weijun didn't dare to be arrogant and, after much thought, had no choice but to turn to Ye Guichen.

After hearing Zhou Weijun's words, Su Jiu'er was taken aback: "What? Shui Liao, Tu Wan, Huo Yi? They are not the most authoritative masters among the seven secretaries of Azure Dragon Commerce, known as Master Five, subordinates of An Cangsheng, who is called the Savior Lord, besides the president of Azure Dragon Commerce?"

"You know these three people?" Zhou Weijun was also surprised and hurriedly asked upon hearing Su Jiu'er's words.

Su Jiu'er nodded after pondering for a moment: "We know almost nothing about the president of Azure Dragon Commerce, but we have a general record of most other members. I once had some understanding of Azure Dragon Commerce. Though it appears as a large business organization on the surface, what they do has long exceeded the scope of business."

"Especially this An Cangsheng, it is said he has a kind of charm, making others feel like they are seeing a relative, wanting to kiss his feet, full of reverence as if worshiping a savior. That's why An Cangsheng is called the Savior Lord, but what's going on specifically is unclear, even to our boss. Our boss just said that An Cangsheng might possess a secret technique to enchant people's minds."

"Additionally, An Cangsheng has five subordinates, each associated with one of the five elements: metal, wood, water, fire, and earth, said to have their unique skills and usually work for An Cangsheng." Su Jiu'er clearly didn't expect Yuan Shao to be linked to the prominent secretaries of Azure Dragon Commerce, and she looked at Ye Guichen: "If this is true, the situation could be quite tricky."

Ye Guichen had heard of An Cangsheng, but since they hadn't crossed paths before, he didn't know the details. Hearing Su Jiu'er's words now, he understood that An Cangsheng probably did have some tricks.

A person who could make others worship them upon sight was rare indeed.

"Yuan Shao has latched on to An Cangsheng of Azure Dragon Commerce?" Ye Guichen now had only this confirmed matter.

Given that Azure Dragon Commerce was involved, it seemed Yuan Shao's return to Yun City was not merely for revenge against Zhou Weijun.

"Heh, interesting, this matter is becoming more and more interesting." Ye Guichen smiled, pointed to the lying Shui Liao on the bed, and said to Zhou Weijun: "Brother Zhou, this is the Shui Liao you mentioned."

"Ah?" Zhou Weijun was taken aback.

Earlier, although he felt Shui Liao seemed familiar from the intelligence report, he never thought Shui Liao would be lying there like a dead dog.

Based on his investigation, Shui Liao was extremely powerful, capable of punching a truck away. How could Shui Liao be immobilized here?

So he hadn't thought that Shui Liao could be the same person.

Now hearing Ye Guichen's introduction, Zhou Weijun was naturally shocked: "Brother Ye, what happened to him?"

"Not much, just got a bit aggressive, so I subdued him." Ye Guichen said it lightly, but Zhou Weijun listened with a pounding heart: "Then, what do you plan to do next?"

"What else, just wait." Ye Guichen knew that with Shui Liao defeated, Yuan Shao would definitely not let it go. As for Yuan Shao's ultimate purpose in Yun City, whether targeting himself or the Seven-colored Lotus Jade, Ye Guichen didn't care.

There was no need to find Yuan Shao now.

It wouldn't take long for Yuan Shao to come looking for him.

As Ye Guichen had guessed.

While Ye Guichen was learning about Yuan Shao, Yuan Shao himself was sitting in an underground casino opposite Liu Ruyi, wearing a loose trench coat, with a heavily made-up, seductive woman by his side.

Yuan Shao looked older than Zhou Weijun, with a square face and a clear knife scar at the corner of his eye, giving off a chilling vibe when he looked at people.

He held a cigar, crossing his legs, and unabashedly ogled Liu Ruyi's tempting figure, clicking his tongue in admiration: "Boss Liu, why make things difficult for yourself? Heh, Second Young Master Feng from Yanjing just treats you as a money-making tool, but you still dutifully manage this underground casino for him all these years. How about this, follow me, Yuan Shao, from now on, and I promise to treat you well."
