Chapter 873: Pretend Nothing Happened
Zhuo Yun raised his head and glanced at his boss and answered reverently. “It’s Hong Feng.”
The moment Min Yu heard what he said, his finger paused. He raised his head and looked at Zhuo Yun quizzically. “Who?”
Zhuo Yun froze briefly before he said, “I meant Hong Feng was behind it.”
Hong Feng was the most powerful man in the underworld in Country M. However, he had been keeping a low profile for almost a decade and had little involvement in the underworld since he was trying to make his business legitimate.
Zhuo Yun did not know about the current state of Hong Feng’s business.
He simply knew that Hong Feng ought to have men stationed in the capital.
Min Yu raised his hand and rubbed his forehead without responding.
Zhuo Yun and Yang Yi could not help looking at each other perplexedly when they saw their boss’s reaction.
“Hey, Yu? Is there something wrong with Hong Feng?” asked Zhuo Yun softly.
Min Yu leaned into the couch and the serious look on his face dissipated. His face looked cool and translucent under the crystal chandelier. He asked in a soft voice. “What is Hong Feng’s stance on this?”
Zhuo Yun shook his head. “I am not sure either. Even though Hong Feng didn’t get involved, one of his men must be helping. Otherwise, someone from Europe would not have purchased weapons illegally.
Min Yu nodded. He narrowed his eyes and said, “Go investigate Hong Feng.”
Zhuo Yun felt puzzled by the order, but he did not dare to probe further and simply acknowledged his boss.
Min Yu paused for a couple of seconds before he said to Zhuo Yu just as he was about to leave, “Call Zhang Qing and tell him to cancel the arrest warrant and pretend that nothing happened today.”
Zhuo Yun froze in his steps and looked at his boss in surprise. “But why? This is the perfect opportunity to finish him off.”
Min Yu calmly looked into the distance. “Even if we finish off Zhang Qing, someone else just like him will take over his job.”
Zhuo Yun pondered and felt that Min Yu was right. “We already know about Zhang Qing’s secret dealings. From now on, he will think twice before he messes with us.”
“Uh huh.” Min Yu waved his hand.
Zhuo Yun nodded and left with Yang Yi before long.

Meanwhile, at the Huo family’s Northern branch.
Huo Changfeng walked into the main hall with an intimidating aura as Chen Ming followed behind him.
Dozens of men armed with guns stood inside the hall and gave off the same aura as the men outside the building. The moment Huo Changfeng and Chen Ming walked into the room, they trained their guns on them immediately.
There were two overseers present in the room. They frowned when they saw the men pointing the guns at Huo Changfeng and Chen Ming. Just as they were about to retaliate, Huo Changfeng raised his arm and they instantly stepped back.
A middle-aged man was sitting on the main seat leisurely as someone served him tea reverently. He acted as though he were a king.
He took a sip of tea before slowly raising his head to look at Huo Changfeng condescendingly when he entered the room. “Are you the person in charge of the place?”
No one had looked at Huo Changfeng this way in years. Well done! This was starting to get intriguing.
He smiled. The black shirt he was wearing made him look even more ruthless and slightly bloodthirsty. He walked over and looked down at the man. “You should be glad that we are living in a civilized era.”
The middle-aged man instinctively felt scared when Huo Changfeng looked at him.
The moment he recalled that he had come with a lot of armed men, he instantly smiled coldly and slammed the teacup on the coffee table beside him. “How dare you? How could you get involved in illegal weapons trading? Do you not have even the slightest respect for the government?”
