Ye Xiao looked at Zheng Senlin's seemingly casual but extremely firm words, and seriously looked at Zheng Senlin, saying, "Uncle Zheng, do you know something about Tulong Company?"

Zheng Senlin ate meat while saying, "Who in Bird City's Jinling District doesn't know about Tulong Company? Young people always act impulsively and end up regretting it when they cause trouble. Best not to meddle in others' business."

"But I've already promised someone, so I definitely have to go through with this," Ye Xiao said resolutely.

Only then did Zheng Senlin slowly lift his head, his mouth full of duck meat, and smiled, "Actually, many things aren't worth forcing, but since you've decided and don't plan to change your mind, I'll give you some advice as a return for these meat and drinks. But please, next time bring some pig head meat. You should know what pairs better with alcohol."

Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "Don't worry, Uncle Zheng, I'll do just that."

"Tulong Company's influence isn't great, but it's supported by Azure Dragon Company," Zheng Senlin took a sip of wine and said to Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao said, "I know this, and Azure Dragon Company is one of the two most powerful companies in Yan Country. To mess with Azure Dragon Company is to mess with many of its affiliates."

"It seems you know a bit about Azure Dragon Company, but do you know that Tulong Company isn't significantly related to that super company Azure Dragon Company? If there's any support, it's only the support from Bird City's Azure Dragon Company to Tulong Company. After all, Tulong Company can only thrive in Jinling District; outside it, no one acknowledges Tulong Company. Don't you find it odd? Why would Azure Dragon Company support it if it can only operate within Jinling District?" Zheng Senlin asked Ye Xiao with a smile.

Actually, this was also what Ye Xiao found odd. If Tulong Company was so formidable and supported by Azure Dragon Company, it naturally should have risen throughout Bird City. However, Tulong Company remains confined within Jinling District, although it can act dominantly there, ultimately, it's still confined to a small Jinling District.

"Could there be other connections?" Ye Xiao looked at Zheng Senlin and asked.

Zheng Senlin laughed and said, "Mountain Wolf Group."

"What?" Upon hearing Zheng Senlin's words, Ye Xiao's face immediately changed.

Seeing Ye Xiao's change of expression, Zheng Senlin looked at him quizzically and asked, "What's wrong? Do you know the Mountain Wolf Group?"

Ye Xiao chuckled and said, "I've heard of them."

Of course, he wouldn't say that he had a deep-seated hatred with Mountain Wolf Group.

Zheng Senlin said, "If you've heard of them, then you should know that the Mountain Wolf Group is a subordinate organization of the Sang Group from Beihai Country. What would such an organization want coming to Bird City?"

Ye Xiao certainly understood, because when he was in Minghai City, he had already dealt with these people. Their goal was simple, to make money from Yan Country and control its people.

"Are you saying Tulong Company is connected to the Mountain Wolf Group?" Ye Xiao looked at Zheng Senlin.

"I just mentioned Mountain Wolf Group, and you immediately picked up on it. Please, if you want to hear, let me finish," Zheng Senlin said, a bit impatiently.

"Go ahead."

"Bird City is a capital city, and just Bird City itself is divided into nine districts. Such a city is attractive to foreign forces. To my knowledge, there are three foreign forces in Bird City, with Mountain Wolf Group being just one of them," Zheng Senlin said.

Hearing Zheng Senlin's words, Ye Xiao grew even more surprised. Originally, Mountain Wolf Group appearing in Bird City was within his expectations, but how could there be other organizations? Could it be the Plum Blossom Group? But Plum Blossom Group is an assassin organization, entirely different from Mountain Wolf Group.

Ye Xiao immediately inquired, "What are the other two?"

"I only know of one called Black Hawk, supported by a Saroman underworld force. It primarily operates in legitimate businesses in Bird City and supports some underworld forces. As for the third, I don't know exactly who it is, only that rumor has it they're from a major conglomerate from the Federation. But no one knows who it really is, making the third the most mysterious organization, and also the most dangerous one. After all, the unseen is the most frightening," Zheng Senlin said.

After listening, Ye Xiao nodded and said, "I really didn't expect there to be so many foreign forces in Bird City. I thought the eight great families in Bird City were already mysterious enough, and now there are three foreign forces."

"It seems you've been in contact with the eight great families. In any case, whether it's the eight great families or the three foreign forces, or even those obvious underworld forces, they aren't something you can casually engage with. It could lead to self-destruction," Zheng Senlin said with a laugh, "Why not just enjoy life like me, eating meat and drinking wine."

Ye Xiao smiled wryly at this moment. He saw Zheng Lingshan coming over from the kitchen with a bowl of noodles and immediately said with a smile, "You're making things hard for Shanshan."

Zheng Senlin glanced at Zheng Lingshan, then looked at Ye Xiao and said, "Don't think your intentions towards Shanshan are unknown to me. Dare to have ideas about her, and see what I'll do to you."

"You're being a bit authoritarian. Even if I have feelings, it's just a normal relationship," Ye Xiao said.

"Do you think I raised my daughter just to marry her off early? If you want to have ideas, better buy me more meat and wine. I can't raise my daughter for nothing," Zheng Senlin appeared unwilling to lose.

At this moment, Zheng Lingshan entered the hall and looked at the two men. "What are you talking about?"

Ye Xiao immediately chuckled and said, "Uncle Zheng said you're a good kid, and I should take good care of you."

"When did I ever..." Zheng Senlin heard Ye Xiao's words and immediately shouted.

But before Zheng Senlin could finish, Ye Xiao chuckled and said to Zheng Lingshan, "Uncle Zheng also said that he's raised you without expecting anything in return, just hoping you find a good partner. That's his biggest wish. Uncle Zheng, isn't that right?"

Ye Xiao's words completely blocked Zheng Senlin from speaking. At this moment, Zheng Senlin could only swallow his bitterness and, seeing Zheng Lingshan looking at him, laughed it off, saying, "Of course, a dad cares about his daughter."

Ye Xiao heard Zheng Senlin's words and couldn't help but burst into laughter, while Zheng Senlin found himself at a loss for words to respond.

"I know, but Dad, you should drink less alcohol; it's not good for your health," Zheng Lingshan said, concerned, looking at Zheng Senlin.

At this, Ye Xiao laughed and said, "Shanshan, that's where you're wrong. Drinking alcohol invigorates the blood and removes stasis; how can it be bad? It's actually very beneficial. And no matter how much Uncle Zheng drinks, he'll be just fine, isn't that right, Uncle Zheng?"

Zheng Senlin chuckled twice but didn't say much.

Zheng Lingshan glared at Ye Xiao, "Ye Xiao, what are you doing? How can you encourage my dad to drink? I think you two shouldn't hang out often; otherwise, you'll both end up as alcoholics."

"I'm only speaking the truth. If you don't believe me, you can ask Uncle Zheng. He surely agrees with my point of view."

Hearing Ye Xiao's words, Zheng Lingshan rolled her eyes. Could she really ask Zheng Senlin? He is practically addicted to alcohol.

"My drinking capacity is not up to Uncle Zheng's level. Just so happens, I have something to do, so I have to leave first," Ye Xiao said with a smile as he looked at Zheng Lingshan.

Hearing Ye Xiao say he had to leave, a hint of disappointment flashed across Zheng Lingshan's face, though it quickly disappeared. However, this expression did not escape the eyes of Ye Xiao and Zheng Senlin, both harboring their ulterior motives.

Zheng Lingshan said, "Alright then, I'll see you off!"

"No need, go on and eat your noodles while they're hot, or they won't taste good," Ye Xiao stood up and said caringly to Zheng Lingshan.

Even though Ye Xiao said so, Zheng Lingshan still stood up to see him off.

Zheng Senlin sat in his chair, motionless, as if he hadn't noticed anything.

Zheng Lingshan accompanied Ye Xiao to the door, apologetically saying, "My dad is usually very hospitable. Sorry about today."

Clearly, Zheng Lingshan felt a bit apologetic for her dad not coming out to see the guest off.

Ye Xiao immediately laughed and said, "You don't understand; Uncle Zheng doesn't see me as an outsider. Maybe in his heart, he's already accepted me as a desirable son-in-law. What can I say? Being handsome has its perks."

"Enough already, hurry up and leave; listening to your words gives me goosebumps." Zheng Lingshan rolled her eyes at Ye Xiao.

Ye Xiao laughed heartily and said, "I'm going now, don't miss me."

"Who would miss you? So self-absorbed!"

"Haha, and yet you say you won't miss me, but your face is all red."

Hearing Ye Xiao's remark, Zheng Lingshan immediately touched her face, feeling warm. Was it actually red?

However, by this time, Ye Xiao had already walked out of the alley.

"This annoying Ye Xiao!" Zheng Lingshan couldn't help but say.

After Ye Xiao left the Zheng family, he immediately planned to go to Tulong Company, not for anything else but because Tulong Company might be related to the Mountain Wolf Group. As an excellent member of the Flame Dragon Team, he must take responsibility for defending the country. Therefore, he intended to meet with the people from Tulong Company and, if he encountered those from the Mountain Wolf Group, perhaps eliminate them altogether, which wouldn't be a bad thing at all.

However, just as Ye Xiao was about to hail a cab, his phone rang again.

"Is Zhang Li urging me again? Isn't this a bit too impatient?" Ye Xiao muttered to himself while taking out his phone.

Only after taking out his phone did he realize that the displayed number wasn't Zhang Li's, but his current fake girlfriend, Jiang Miaoke!
