Gao Yuheng died so comically before everyone, and it didn't seem like Lu Ming could be blamed.
With their boss dead, there was no point for the remaining subordinates to risk their lives.
Lu Ming waved at Jiang Mengxin, "Let's go."
Jiang Mengxin quickly got up and came to Lu Ming's side, holding his hand. The two swaggered out, and not a single subordinate dared to stop them.
By this point, it was unnecessary to stop them.
With both Gao Xuan and Gao Yuheng dead, these subordinates were without leaders. If they continued to oppose the Jiang family, they would suffer greatly.
They also had no reason to fight anymore.
Jiang Mengxin glanced back at Gao Yuheng lying on the ground and muttered, "He who does evil will surely perish. Good riddance!"
She rarely hated anyone this much, and Gao Yuheng was one of them.
At the same time, Jiang Mengxin secretly rejoiced that she hadn't been tricked by Gao Yuheng. If she had lost her grip and followed him, she would have likely spent the rest of her life in tears.
In retrospect, Lu Ming was more reliable.
What a tragic fate for the Gao father and son.
They had meticulously planned a conspiracy, luring Lu Ming and Jiang Mengxin to the Biao Niu headquarters, intending to kill them on their own turf.
But as it turned out.
Lu Ming and Jiang Mengxin were unharmed, while the Gao father and son met their end.
If you intend to harm others, you must be prepared to be harmed yourself.
A few minutes later.
Jiang Mengxin drove Lu Ming home. Along the way, she repeatedly took deep breaths to slow her racing heart.
"That was really close today. We almost got caught by Biao Niu," Jiang Mengxin said.
Caught?
Heh, Lu Ming thought it was impossible. As long as he was around, they wouldn't be caught!
Halfway there, Lu Ming received a text message from Xiuluo: Important information, return quickly.
If Xiuluo called it important information, it must be significant.
Lu Ming said, "Pull the car over. I need to go have dinner with a friend."
"A friend?" Jiang Mengxin frowned slightly and said, "Speaking of which, you seem to have many friends in Jinling, but you've never brought them to meet me. When you have time, why don't you introduce your friends to me?"
Lu Ming was surprised.
Jiang Mengxin saying this actually indicated her growing affection for Lu Ming.
After all, the former Jiang Mengxin had been disgusted by everything about Lu Ming, let alone his friends, she couldn't stand Lu Ming himself.
Lu Ming nodded, "Okay, when there's an opportunity, I'll have them over to the house."
"Mm."
Jiang Mengxin pulled the car to the side of the road, and Lu Ming got out.
After Jiang Mengxin left, Xiuluo drove up in a dark blue Lamborghini and stopped in front of Lu Ming. The car door opened, and Lu Ming got in.
Xiuluo began, "Warlord, your relationship with Sister-in-law seems to be going well. Your feelings are heating up."
Lu Ming was pleased to hear this, but he maintained a stern demeanor and reprimanded, "You urgently summoned me just to talk about this?"
"Haha, Warlord, please don't be angry. I do have something very important to tell you."
"Has the Sun Emissary made a move?" Lu Ming asked.
"No, I'm keeping a close eye on the Sun Emissary. He's still keeping a low profile, trying his best to gather evidence of the two protectors' crimes. What I need to tell you today isn't about the Sun Emissary, but about someone else."
"Who?"
"Logan!"
At the mention of this name, Lu Ming's expression immediately turned serious. The name brought back unpleasant memories and reminded him of the cruelty of wars years ago.
The combined forces of the Ten Great Empires had attacked China, and this Logan had contributed significantly!
Logan was a wealthy businessman from the United States, ranking in the top ten of the Forbes list. He was also an extremely fervent anti-China extremist, dedicating himself to the destruction of China!
Five years ago, when the Ten Great Empires attacked China, Logan provided them with technical and financial support from behind the scenes.
Later, the imperial coalition was defeated, and Logan suffered heavy losses. He disappeared for a long time.
Back then, Lu Ming had wanted to capture and bring this scoundrel to justice, but he was well-protected by the United States, making it difficult to track his movements. Moreover, after going bankrupt, his threat was minimal, so Lu Ming didn't pursue him relentlessly.
Who would have thought that years later, this man who was once China's greatest enemy would set foot on Chinese soil?
What was he doing here?
Lu Ming asked, "Have you found out Logan's purpose for this trip?"
Xiuluo replied, "According to my investigation, Logan's purpose is to build a high-level aristocratic school in Jinling City, on Chinese soil. It will cover everything from kindergarten to junior high, a full twelve years."
Lu Ming looked confused.
Building an aristocratic school?
It sounded like a beneficial deed for China. If it were someone else, Lu Ming would have wholeheartedly approved. But Lu Ming knew exactly what kind of person Logan was; how could he do anything beneficial for China?
It wasn't that Lu Ming was prejudiced against Logan, but Logan himself was an extremely vicious extremist.
Lu Ming said, "Things are definitely not that simple. Logan is no good, and he would never do anything beneficial for China. There must be a conspiracy behind this aristocratic school."
However, the specifics of the conspiracy still needed to be investigated.
Just then, an unknown number called Lu Ming's phone. He answered, and Dong Gang, the Sun Emissary of the White Lotus Sect, spoke from the other end: "Lu Ming, it's me. I have something important to tell you. Meet me at Deji Plaza on the third floor in half an hour."
The call ended.
Lu Ming glanced at his phone and said with a self-deprecating laugh, "These days, I'm so busy. Alright, Xiuluo, take me to Deji Plaza."
Uh...
Xiuluo scratched his head awkwardly.
Lu Ming asked, "What, is there a problem?"
Xiuluo said with a bitter face, "Warlord, can you take a taxi to get there yourself? The city is too congested, especially around Deji. Driving is slower than walking. I just managed to get out of the traffic there and don't want to go back, sob sob."
Hearing this, where was the demeanor of a five-star general?
Completely out of line.
Lu Ming rolled his eyes at him, "Take me to the subway station, and I'll take the subway."
"Roger that!"
So, Xiuluo drove Lu Ming to the subway station entrance. Lu Ming bought a ticket for 10 yuan and took subway line 2, traveling for 9 stops to reach his destination.
Exiting from subway exit 7, he found himself at Jinling's famous shopping destination – Deji Plaza.
He entered and went upstairs.
Reaching the third floor.
Lu Ming immediately spotted Dong Gang, the Sun Emissary of the White Lotus Sect.
Lu Ming walked over and asked, "Why did you urgently call me out? Did you find evidence of the White Lotus Sect's crimes? Do you want me to help you hand it over to the city mayor?"
Dong Gang's expression was serious. He leaned close to Lu Ming's ear and whispered, "I didn't call you today about the White Lotus Sect's business, but about a personal matter. I need you to help me deal with someone, an extremely dangerous individual from the United States – Logan!"
