"It’s nothing, I know that everything about the Dragon Group has nothing to do with me now. I’m just a bit heartbroken for a moment." Long Ang quickly adjusted his mood, pressing that feeling down in his heart, and then said to Chu Ge, "This incident today, there’s a hundred percent chance that someone from the Dragon Group is involved. I’m just not sure if the Dragon Group is aware of it." Chu Ge’s lips curled into a slight smile, and he looked ahead, "They already know." Find the newest release on novel fire.net Long Ang was taken aback and looked at him in confusion. He followed Long Ang’s line of sight and saw Long Yi and Long Er excitedly walking toward them. Long Yi didn’t expect to run into Long Yi and Long Er here. He stood still, feeling a mix of emotions. Long Yi ran over excitedly. He grabbed Long Ang’s hand in excitement and said, "Group Leader, it’s really you. I didn’t expect to run into you here." Long Er followed closely behind, his eyes also brimming with excitement, "Group Leader, where are you now? You just left without a word, didn’t even inform us brothers." Long Yi pouted, "Inform who? Those people, you just left, and not even half an hour later, they’ve already forgotten about you, all currying favor with Long Jiu." Long Er coughed awkwardly and laughed sheepishly, glaring at Long Yi, "Really, you’re bringing up the worst possible thing!" Long Ang looked at them in confusion, "Long Jiu? What do you mean?" As soon as Long Jiu was mentioned, both Long Yi and Long Er got angry. Long Yi grumbled, "You had just left, and Elder Su and the others appointed Long Jiu as our Group Leader. This Long Jiu, he’s definitely the kind who makes a big show of things when he starts, sending away all the brothers who were loyal to you and keeping only those who flatter him!" Long Ang was even more puzzled, "Wasn’t the Group Leader position given to Long Yi?" But after he asked this, he understood. Long Yi was not suitable to be Group Leader, his personality was too simple and too emotional, often acting on impulse. Although he also valued emotions, the position of Group Leader required a ruthless heart. He just didn’t expect that in the end, they’d decide on Long Jiu for the Group Leader position. "By the way, why are you here?" Long Ang asked curiously. Did that mean the Dragon Group already knew about this? So they sent Long Yi and Long Er to check? Sure enough, Long Yi nodded. He told Long Ang, "The Great Elder saw our Dragon Group’s unique Binding Rope in the news and suspected that someone from the Dragon Group was involved, so he specifically sent us to check the situation." "As soon as we got here, they left, without leaving anything behind." Long Ang sighed lightly, his eyes full of regret, "I just checked, and the rope is indeed the unique Binding Rope of the Dragon Group." Long Yi and Long Er exchanged a glance. They had actually guessed this in their hearts long ago, but following the Great Elder’s orders, they came to check just the same. "Let’s go inside and take a look." Chu Ge walked in first. Long Yi scratched his head in puzzlement, "There’s nothing left inside now, what else can we investigate?" Long Ang patted Long Yi’s shoulder and said, "The police are just collecting evidence routinely, and these aren’t things done by ordinary people. There’s a lot on the scene that they may not notice." Long Yi nodded in realization, truly, the Group Leader was smart. As the surrounding people dispersed because of the police’s departure, the stench in the warehouse hadn’t dissipated when Chu Ge and the others entered. As soon as Long Yi entered, he covered his nose and mouth, complaining, "What’s that smell? It’s so foul." Long Ang just furrowed his brow slightly. This smell was familiar, but he couldn’t remember where he’d smelled it before. The spot on the warehouse floor where bodies had once been placed was now cordoned off, and the ropes had been taken away, so nothing was left on the warehouse floor. Huo Tianqian circled around, holding his waist in annoyance, complaining, "Damn! There’s really nothing here, how are we supposed to investigate?" Chu Ge remained silent ever since he entered the warehouse, observing the surroundings. The warehouse was indeed old, aside from the stench, there was a rotting smell from years of wood decay. "To capture five Ancient Martial Artists and bring them here, they must have used some means. It can’t be this clean, there must be traces left. Let’s look carefully." The others nodded and began to look around. Just as everyone was focused on finding evidence, a mocking laugh came from the warehouse door, "Oh, did I see it wrong? Isn’t this our former Group Leader of the Dragon Group?" The newcomer was Long Jiu, who now stood arrogantly at the entrance with hands on hips, looking contemptuously at Long Ang. His posture made him seem really punchable. "Long Jiu, what are you doing here!" Long Er stepped forward, his tone a bit harsh. Just now, Long Jiu was disrespectful to Long Ang, stirring something instinctively within him. Long Jiu snorted, "Long Er, you seem to forget that I am your Group Leader now. Also, watch your language. Can you just call my name so casually?" Long Er was at a loss, glaring at Long Jiu. He wasn’t wrong; Long Er couldn’t directly call Long Jiu by name anymore. But addressing Long Jiu as Group Leader in front of Long Ang felt really awkward. Luckily, Long Jiu didn’t bother arguing with him. He turned his gaze to Long Ang, then looked at Chu Ge, the sarcasm in his eyes deepening. "Long Ang, what? You can’t survive without the Dragon Group? Ran off to do odd jobs for the Ancient Martial Arts now?" Long Jiu said snidely, "If the Great Elder finds out you ran to the Ancient Martial Arts, imagine how cold-hearted that would be." Long Ang coldly stared at him, "You’re overthinking it. I didn’t join the Ancient Martial Arts." "But someone saw with their own eyes that as soon as you left the Dragon Group, the first place you went was to this guy’s Gambling Stone Field. Don’t tell me you don’t know who this person is?" Long Jiu said, hesitatingly. Long Ang pressed his lips tightly together. He knew that no matter what he said, in Long Jiu’s eyes, he was already someone who betrayed the Dragon Group. So he wasn’t going to explain himself any further. Long Ang ignored Long Jiu, turning away to continue searching for evidence. But Long Jiu wasn’t intending to let Long Ang off so easily. He smirked derisively and signaled to the person behind him, who immediately understood and took out a phone to snap a photo of Long Ang. In the photo, both Chu Ge and Huo Tianqian were included as well. Within their Dragon Group, everyone knew that a man named Chu Ge was participating in this summit. And it was known because of that Public Sea Banquet.
