"How is the mining operation going?"

Chu Heng caressed the jade cup with his fingers and asked aloud.

Zhou Jing’an replied, "Seventy percent of the operation has been completed; we expect to wrap it up by the end of the month."

Chu Heng nodded, "Recently the rumors are tight; caution is paramount... This Chen Mo is quite troublesome; we absolutely must not slip up."

"Yes," Zhou Jing’an responded.

After waiting for a good while, Chu Zhuo and the others had yet to return.

Zhou Jing’an frowned slightly, "Nearly half an hour has passed, and they can’t even handle this trivial matter? This Chu Zhuo really is useless—"

Before he could finish saying ’rubbish,’ a sudden, thunderous explosion sounded.

Both men drew aside the curtained windows to look and were immediately stunned.

They saw the second floor of the Drunken Moon Restaurant’s wall had been knocked down, with Chu Zhuo lying in the middle of the street, half of his body dripping with fresh blood, almost completely severed at the waist!

Chu Zhuo was, after all, a fifth-grade Martial Artist; how could he be beaten to such a state?

Before they could recover, two more figures flew out.

Bang! Bang!

The two men fell to the ground, their purple robes stained black with blood, barely clinging to life, it seemed they exhaled more than they could inhale.

Zhou Jing’an could no longer sit still; these were Prince Yu Mansion’s own guards!

Seeing Chu Heng’s darkening expression, he knew this was a precursor to rage. Hastily standing up, he said, "Young Master, please sit for a moment, I’ll check what’s happening."

Zhou Jing’an stepped down from the carriage, leading a group of attendants to Chu Zhuo’s side.

"What happened?"

"Young Master Zhou..."

Struggling to rise, Chu Zhuo’s old face turned red, a mix of shame and anger, "An arrest officer from the Six Gates, somewhat troublesome, and Chen Mo, he, he has no sense of martial decency, he ambushed me!"

"Chen Mo? He’s here too?"

Zhou Jing’an’s brow twitched.

"My son is still inside, there may be danger..." Chu Zhuo said in a low voice.

"Let’s go in and have a look."

Zhou Jing’an led his men into the restaurant.

The Drunken Moon Restaurant was already empty; the people hastily ascended to the second floor.

Amidst the ruins, three people were still raising their cups, carefree as the collapsing walls and swirling wind and rain added a bold touch to the scene.

Chu Chen was crouching in the corner, pale and trembling.

"What sword technique was that, Mr. Chen? Even a fifth-grade Martial Artist couldn’t handle it," Shangguan Yunfei exclaimed in awe.

Chen Mo glanced at him, "Do you want to give it a try?"

"...No need." Knowing he was in a foul mood, Shangguan Yunfei dared not provoke him further.
