Chapter 183: An Inkling of Ghost City’s Counterpart

Xie Jinghuan pushed up his spectacles, wore a seductive glance, and said, “Staying in the army camp every day, even if you are dating someone, it would be a guy.”

Everyone was speechless…

Ye Ling listened to them yakking away, felt indifferent, and did not engage in their conversation. To him, it was all boring subjects, so he did not bother to waste his saliva. Mu Yuan boasted that he had a partner since he was eighteen. Now twenty-three, they still had not seen the said person at all.

Xie Jinghuan said, “Ah Ling, the thing you asked me to help investigate already has some progress. Li Zhiyuan indeed has some unusual transactions with Ghost City and is really secretive about it. There are also people from Ghost City acting as an undercover, laundering money for Ghost City over the years. Brilliant Entertainment reached the peak that fast all due to Ghost City’s support in the background. Not only does Ghost City have a really close relationship with you, he almost never had a conflict with any of City A’s financial group and even collectively made use of big financial magnate’s resources.”

Ghost City was an underground kingdom that had been in rule for over thirty years with extremely vast industry chains. Nobody knew how it built up its fortune. During the Financial Crisis over twenty years ago, it became famous as a loan shark. In an era of financial scarcity, Ghost City became extremely wealthy instead.

Ghost City extended out vast industry chains, took over all of City A’s behind-the-scenes transactions, and also directed the lifeblood of City A’s economic development, extending their influence to a very formidable level. Every profession and every industry had people from Ghost City.

Ghost City not only did traditional business but also unlawful business. However, it was difficult to find evidence of their crimes. This organization’s affluence was not only in City A; it left its mark on the whole world, but nobody had ever met Ghost City’s owner.

This thirty-year-old underground kingdom had a very mysterious owner but had vanquished many people.

Mu Yuan once concealed himself as an undercover agent in Ghost City for three years, hoping to find its owner. However, he gained nothing in return, not even the name of the owner.

Over the past thirty plus years, it had changed three generations of owners.

After Mu Yuan’s identity was exposed, Ghost City did not claim his life but instead let him go, thus forming a good relationship with Mu Family.

It was discovered that some of Mu Family’s industries were also closely related to Ghost City. Mu Yuan thus gave up his mission of finding Ghost City’s owner from then on. The main reason was also that although Ghost City was an underground kingdom, it also wandered between the black and white world.

“This person sure is mysterious. I relayed my information three times, and not even once did he meet me,” Su Nancheng said with some regret. “Ah Ling, why do you want to find Li Zhiyuan’s trouble when everything’s perfectly alright? Even if he teams up with Lu Family and goes against you, you will definitely not lose to him.”

“Personal feuds.”

Ye Ling suddenly recalled something, and his expression became extremely cold.

Mu Yuan said, “You and Li Zhiyuan have always been on two different routes, why would there be personal feuds? It has been all Li Zhiyuan’s pink news recently, and even the news of him pursuing a woman became the talk of the town. I think the woman is an Internet celebrity, and she has a celebrity son. My cousin is a huge fan of both mother and son. Li Zhiyuan does not even mind being a stepdad. It can be seen that it is really true love!”

The room instantly froze.

Ye Ling’s eyes were as cold as frost, and his entire person was emitting off a foul and evil-foreboding air.

Cold and bloodthirsty like a beast ready to attack anytime. It stretched out its claws coldly as if it was going to engulf its enemy the very next second.

The three men were in dead silence as if there was a man pressing a sharp knife against their necks. Only a handful of people knew about Ye Ling’s sickness, and even his closest family did not know, let alone his best friends. This was something fatal because once he lost his control and rationality, his enemies could take advantage of this opportunity and get rid of him. Thus, the fewer the number of people knew, the better.
