Let him witness the terror of the Yin-Yang Sect.

Xu Mu frowned from the sidelines. It was obvious without even thinking that this Gao Sheng was working for Cui Yunshen.

He smiled and said, "Mr. Gao, are you being threatened? Blink if you're being threatened."

"Xu Mu! Some jokes can't be made casually. Who would dare threaten Mr. Gao? A spendthrift like you should read more books when you have nothing better to do."

At this point, Cui Yunshen looked at Xu Ningbing and grinned, "Miss Xu, I'm sure you know Mr. Gao's identity."

"Of course. He is the honorary president of the Jiangnan Chamber of Commerce."

Xu Ningbing answered truthfully.

"Hehe, you're right, but that's not the whole story. Mr. Gao's son works in the Ministry of Commerce of the Dragon Kingdom."

Cui Yunshen glanced at Xu Mu, "Do you understand now?"

Even hidden families wouldn't dare to openly oppose the Dragon Kingdom.

Any captain-level cleaner from the Sanitation Department could wipe out over ninety percent of the hidden families.

Xu Ningbing naturally knew this information too, but there were some things she couldn't say on her own initiative.

She felt displeased, not expecting that Cui Yunshen could actually invite this president.

The Gao family was not simple. They had been in business for three generations. From Gao Sheng's father's generation, the Gao family had been highly renowned in Jiangnan.

Although they were not a hidden family, they had funded many enterprises.

However, this generation's Gao Sheng was far inferior to his father.

When Gao Sheng was young, he was essentially an idle playboy.

But relying on the empire his father had built, he was still somewhat respected in Jiangnan.

Originally, everyone thought the Gao family's reputation would end with Gao Sheng's generation.

Who could have imagined that although he was incompetent, he had raised a good son.

Because of his son, almost all the enterprises in Jiangnan would give him face.

Xu Mu was also pondering in his heart. If such a person were to interfere, there would be great resistance to the Xu family's expansion into Jiangnan.

Regardless, the Xu family's business was foreign to the area, and the Yan family's was an emerging industry.

Most of these old money families in Jiangnan disliked them.

"Young Master Cui, if I recall correctly, didn't you promise me something?"

Xu Mu prepared to use the video as a threat.

"It seems Young Master Xu has been very busy lately and hasn't been watching the news."

Cui Yunshen took out his phone, searched for something, and handed it to Xu Mu.

Xu Mu glanced at it. The headline read: "Second-Generation Rich Framed by AI Video, Blackmailer Ends Up in Prison."

He skimmed the content. It was about someone who used AI to make a video. The man in it was exactly Cui Yunshen, and as for the woman, she was an old lady in her fifties.

Then they used the video to threaten Cui Yunshen. Ultimately, Cui Yunshen chose to report it to the police. The police confirmed it was an AI video and arrested the person.

Seeing this, Xu Mu revealed a faint smile. Cui Yunshen had an expert guiding him from behind the scenes.

This trick of directing and acting in his own play was indeed not bad. Taking the initiative to strike first and create a fake video.

Afterwards, even if Xu Mu released the real video, people would think it was made by AI.

Barring any surprises, Sister Wang from the video had long been bought off.

When the time came, if Cui Yunshen and Sister Wang both denied it and called the police, Xu Mu's real video could be labeled as fake.

"Young Master Xu, AI functions are getting more and more powerful lately. We all need to revere it. If you are slandered, you must call the police immediately."

Cui Yunshen snatched his phone back and spoke in a mocking tone.

"Little Mu, you and Young Master Cui go out and chat. I have some private words with Mr. Gao."

Xu Ningbing didn't want Cui Yunshen to stay here any longer.

"Alright."

Xu Mu nodded with a smile, "Young Master Cui, let's go out and talk."

Cui Yunshen glanced at Gao Sheng, then followed him out.

The two stood by the window in the hallway.

Cui Yunshen smiled at Xu Mu, "Your video has lost its effect. Are you heartbroken?"

"Aren't you afraid I'm recording this, Young Master Cui?"

Xu Mu shrugged nonchalantly.

"Audio recordings can be fabricated too. Anyway, your video is fake; it can't threaten me."

Cui Yunshen shrugged his shoulders.

"The video might be fake, but you really did eat Sister Wang's noodles. The taste must have been pretty good, right?"

Xu Mu asked with a smile.

"You... bleh!"

Cui Yunshen remembered the previous scene, suddenly felt nauseous, and started dry heaving.

Just then, Xu Mu's phone vibrated. He glanced at it and found it was a call from Zhou Xia of the Yin-Yang Sect.

So, Xu Mu answered it, "Hello."

"Xu Mu, it's me, Song Nuanyang."

A female voice came from the other end. "You saved me this time, so I want to invite you over for a banquet. We can just have a simple meal."

Xu Mu hesitated for a moment, then nodded gently, "Alright, send me the address."

After hanging up, Xu Mu patted Cui Yunshen's shoulder, "Young Master Cui, I'll be taking off first."

With that said, Xu Mu went downstairs and headed to the underground parking lot.

He sat in his car and waited for a while, noticing someone had added him on WeChat with the note "Song Nuanyang".

Her profile picture was a sunflower, and her username was "Full of Sunshine," which felt very old-fashioned.

However, it was better than "Blooming Flowers Bring Wealth."

After adding her, the other party sent the address.

Just as Xu Mu was about to leave, his perception caught Gao Sheng and Cui Yunshen coming downstairs together.

He also checked Xu Ningbing's expression; evidently, their conversation had not been pleasant.

Xu Mu did not leave. Instead, he watched them get into their car, wanting to hear what they were planning.

"Young Master Cui, I've already done everything according to your wishes. Call Xiaoying out again and let her keep me company."

Gao Sheng sat in the back seat, grabbing Cui Yunshen's arm. "Xiaoying is simply my soulmate. A day apart from her feels like three years."

Hearing this, Xu Mu couldn't help but shake his head. So he was being controlled by a woman.

If that was the case, he would be much easier to deal with.

...

Driving to the bar, the customer traffic had already picked up at this time in the afternoon.

Xu Mu stated his identity and went up to the second floor.

Zhou Xia took the initiative to push the door open, gesturing for him to enter.

There were only three people inside: Zhou Xia, Han Tianqing, and Song Nuanyang.

"Xu Mu, you're here."

Song Nuanyang smiled in greeting. "I originally wanted to invite you to a restaurant, but Zhou Xia said that when treating a man to a meal, barbecue and beer are top-tier."

Xu Mu looked at the barbecue and beer on the table, glancing at Zhou Xia. "You really understand men. Have you hooked up with anyone lately?"

Zhou Xia lowered her head in slight embarrassment. "Less than before. Besides, my cultivation method is just like this. If I want to progress, I must have men. I can only try my best not to hook up with good guys."

"Forget it, as long as it's consensual... wait!"

Xu Mu suddenly remembered Gao Sheng from earlier. He frowned and said, "I have something to say that might make you angry. Do you mind if I say it?"

"What kind of relationship do we have? Say whatever you want."

Zhou Xia said casually.

"I want you to... accompany an old man, in his fifties."

This sentence from Xu Mu would be an insult to an ordinary woman.

Even towards Zhou Xia in front of him, he still felt a bit apologetic in his heart.

"Of course! It's a win-win."

Zhou Xia revealed a smile.

Xu Mu nodded gently. With this expert from the Yin-Yang Sect around, Gao Sheng's so-called soulmate would have to take a back seat.

"Wait for me, let me send a message first."

Xu Mu took out his phone and asked Xu Ningbing to send over Gao Sheng's phone number.

Let's show this old man the true terror of the Yin-Yang Sect.
