588: Chapter 587: Dark Undercurrents Stir 588: Chapter 587: Dark Undercurrents Stir Zhao Wangxu’s words immediately made the atmosphere tense and oppressive.
Zhao Yaya blinked, looking somewhat dazed as she stood there watching Zhao Wangxu.
The mere mention of the Five Young Masters of Donglin was enough to loom over everyone like an insurmountable Mount Tai.
In the face of such beings, one could only look up.
An invisible oppression also rolled in.
Tangyu’s lips curved slightly upwards in a gentle smile, unfazed as he calmly looked at Zhao Wangxu and said, “Of course, when I said anyone, that naturally includes you.”
Tangyu’s words also surprised many people.
Wu Kui gave Tangyu a strange look, although it was filled with admiration and respect.
In the whole of Donglin City, only a handful of people would dare speak to Zhao Wangxu like that.
But Tangyu dared, and he did it with such provocation, as if it were a trivial matter for him.
There weren’t many in Donglin City who dared to offend Zhao Wangxu, but Tangyu did.
Although Tangyu was known as the Medical Sage and a savior of traditional Chinese medicine, with enormous fame that was household knowledge, fame did not equate to power.
In the eyes of the Five Young Masters of Donglin, fame was nothing but a passing cloud, worthless to them.
Zhao Wangxu did not get angry, instead he smiled and said, “Not bad, I haven’t misjudged you.
I feel at ease with you looking after my sister.
I normally wouldn’t interfere in your personal affairs, but this time these people were audacious and almost injured my sister, so naturally I can’t stand by idly.
I will certainly seek a resolution for this matter.” After speaking, Zhao Wangxu turned his head to look at the Masquerade Bar and said indifferently to the bodyguards behind him, “Smash it.”
“Yes.” The bodyguards responded in unison and swiftly charged towards the Masquerade Bar.
A simple command shocked everyone, their mouths agape as they stared at Zhao Wangxu.
Without a second word, he ordered the Masquerade Bar to be smashed.
That was incredibly domineering.
“Young Master Zhao, this——” Wu Kui was about to speak, but upon seeing the look in Zhao Wangxu’s eyes, he couldn’t utter the words that had reached his lips.
It was as if someone had seized his throat, and he was forced to swallow his words back.
That indifferent gaze sent a chill through Wu Kui’s body.
Facing Zhao Wangxu, how could he dare to say no?
The territory Zhao Wangxu wanted to smash was untouchable by anyone who stepped forward.
Wu Kui dared not stop him, and nor would Song Qingyu attempt to, knowing that she didn’t have the power to do so.
Zhao Wangxu’s status was beyond what a small precinct chief like her could handle.
Upon seeing Zhao Wangxu order the Masquerade Bar to be smashed, Tangyu’s eyebrows raised slightly as he asked, “Who is the boss behind this place?”
Zhao Wangxu glanced at Tangyu, then lightly replied, “Liu Dingyang.”
“It’s him!” Tangyu’s expression became sharp at once.
No wonder these people were able to find him so quickly and easily infiltrate the Masquerade Bar.
Given that the bar’s entrance was checked for security, with no guns or knives allowed inside, it made sense if it was Liu Dingyang’s territory.
Tangyu quickly understood that Zhao Wangxu must be well aware of the situation, otherwise he wouldn’t have issued the direct order to smash the place.
As everyone was shrewd, since Zhao Wangxu was not inclined to say much more, Tangyu naturally wouldn’t ask any further.
“Qingyu, let’s go back,” Tangyu said.
“Big brother, I’ll head back first,” Zhao Yaya said.
Zhao Wangxu smiled and nodded, “Go ahead.”
In Eastern Donglin, known for holding a monopoly on the city’s most expensive real estate, the highest-priced house shockingly sold for nearly two hundred thousand per square meter, once a sensation in the news.
There’s a saying that if you had a hundred million, you could take out a loan to buy an apartment in Eastern Donglin One.
Of course, it wasn’t that extravagantly pricey, but it wasn’t far off.
The starting price at Eastern Donglin One was one hundred thousand per square meter, even for a standard apartment.
The most expensive properties, of course, were the villas, each starting at several hundred million, with the priciest even surpassing one billion.
Yes, just for a single villa, not a palace or a compound, but merely a three to six hundred square meter villa.
The interesting thing was that all the houses in Eastern Donglin One were snapped up in a short time after hitting the market.
At a villa near Kenren Lake in Eastern Donglin One, covering a shocking eight hundred square meters, a man dressed in house clothes sat in the luxurious living room, sipping tea.
Despite the villa’s quiet, it was surrounded by many covert sentries ready to react at the slightest disturbance, swift as shadows.
These individuals belonged to a team known as the Black Specter, fostered by Jiang Zhentian, one of the Five Young Masters of Donglin, serving as his sword.
A figure approached, standing respectfully behind Jiang Zhentian and reporting, “Brother Tian, there’s been trouble.
The Black Specter and Erhu’s men jointly attempted to assassinate Tangyu in the Masquerade Bar and failed.
Black Specter’s people planted a bomb in Miss Guo Momo’s car, which Tangyu detected at the last moment, narrowly escaping the attack.
Many media reporters were present, and Donglin’s Eastern District police chief, Song Qingyu, was also on the scene with her team.
This incident is likely to cause a sensation in the city by tomorrow.
Zhao Wangxu also rushed over, and without a word, ordered people to smash the Masquerade Bar because his sister, Miss Zhao Yaya, was also with Tangyu.
After this incident, the Zhao family, the Guo Family, and the Lin Family will certainly not let things rest.”
