His movements sped up as he reached one of the men, and with a single punch, he sent a man flying; with one kick, another was flung away. In no time at all, they were all lying on the ground.

Just then, Ling Zhenfei suddenly heard a whooshing sound from behind. His Divine Sense had already alerted him to the situation—it was Ah Shan, struggling to his feet, wielding a stool and attempting to smash it over Ling Zhenfei's head.

Ling Zhenfei didn't even turn his head, simply launching a backfist towards the noise behind him.

Bang!

With just one punch, the metal stool was flattened by the force of Ling Zhenfei's blow.

Ah Shan, holding the stool, froze in mid-air, unable to bring it down.

Bang!

Another punch and Ling Zhenfei sent Ah Shan flying off with his cronies, collapsing to the ground.

Ling Zhenfei's control of his strength in both his punches and kicks was extremely precise, making it unnecessary to strike a second time. These men would find it quite impossible to stand up again.

Because of the fight, the few customers originally in the bar had left by now, fearing they might get involved.

After dealing with everyone, Ling Zhenfei sat down on the couch. At this moment, Jiang Hui was looking at him with eyes full of admiration. Although Ling Zhenfei was wearing the Human Skin Mask and looked like a different person, in Jiang Hui's eyes, he was the epitome of handsomeness.

Seeing the starry-eyed expression on Jiang Hui's face, Ling Zhenfei asked, "How do you feel now? Do you have any strength in your body?"

Jiang Hui shook her head, "I still have no strength at all, and I feel a bit sweaty and weak."

Ling Zhenfei knew she must have been drugged, so he waved at Ah Shan to come over.

Ah Shan was miserably struggling on the ground, but Ling Zhenfei hadn't hit him too hard, so he could just manage to crawl over.

Seeing Ling Zhenfei signaling him, Ah Shan hurriedly scuttled over, as by now the very name Ling Zhenfei had become synonymous with terror in his heart.

Having mixed in the Jianghu for so long and encountered many people, he had never seen a second person who could take down more than a dozen men single-handedly, unscathed.

And then there was Ling Zhenfei's punch that had just flattened the stool. He had witnessed the metal stool deform with a single strike, which was a tremendous shock to him.

"Brother, I know I was wrong; it was all a misunderstanding."

"Misunderstanding my ass! What the hell is going on with Jiang Hui?" Ling Zhenfei said furiously.

Ah Shan trembled all over at Ling Zhenfei's gaze, terrified that at any moment Ling Zhenfei might lash out in anger and send a punch crashing into his skull, likely splattering his brains out.

"Bro, I really didn't know you knew Jiang Hui. You should've said something earlier."

Enraged, Ling Zhenfei grabbed Ah Shan by the collar, "I'm asking about Jiang Hui's condition now. What's the cause? Are you deaf?"

Ah Shan, terrified, blurted out, "It's the Soul-Loss Powder, a kind of dust. Once consumed, it leaves the body powerless and easily manipulated. It's often used in bars to play with girls."

Ling Zhenfei slapped the back of Ah Shan's head, "You damn know how to play dirty, huh? 'Easily manipulated,' huh? Believe it or not, one punch is all it takes for me to end you."

Ah Shan began begging, "Big brother, I really made a mistake. I didn't know Jiang Hui was with you. I'm sorry."

Ling Zhenfei kicked Ah Shan down and then sat beside Jiang Hui, placing his hand on her forehead as he channeled a strand of Northern Spiritual Energy into her body.

This strand of Northern Spiritual Energy entered the depths of her core through her crown and completely neutralized the effects of the Soul-Loss Powder.

Finally, Jiang Hui began to regain her strength, and her complexion improved significantly.

Ling Zhenfei waved at Ah Shan once more, and he hastily crawled over again.

"Brother, any other orders?"

"Isn't that a stupid question? What did Top Paparazzo just say?" Ling Zhenfei asked about the most important matter.

Ah Shan quickly asked, "Top Paparazzo said, after I confirm the video's authenticity, to bring Jiang Hui to meet him."

Ling Zhenfei nodded, "Have you confirmed the video's authenticity? Is it real?"

Ah Shan hurriedly nodded, "Real, very real."

Ling Zhenfei said, "Then what are you waiting for?"

Ah Shan was slightly startled, then understood and said, "I'll take Jiang Hui to meet Top Paparazzo right away."

"I'll come along too. As for what my role will be, that's for you to explain."

Ah Shan was startled again, unsure of Ling Zhenfei's intentions, and quickly said, "Okay, I'll take you both."

Ling Zhenfei waited a while longer, until Jiang Hui had regained her strength and Ah Shan had also somewhat recovered and could walk normally. Then Ah Shan drove Ling Zhenfei and Jiang Hui toward the place arranged with Top Paparazzo.

Top Paparazzo was also in this city, which made Ling Zhenfei very curious.

"Does Top Paparazzo usually stay in this city?"

Ah Shan shook his head, "No, Top Paparazzo is usually in Modu where there are more celebrities, and it's easier to capture something. He doesn't often come here, but recently, I don't know why, he's been staying here."

At this point, Ah Shan spoke with an air of mystery, "I've heard through the grapevine that a big event is about to happen in this city, that's why Top Paparazzo came here, wanting to get firsthand information."

Ling Zhenfei roughly understood; it seemed that Top Paparazzo had also come because of the Wu Yingxiong incident. He really didn't know how Guo Qing'an had handled it.

As Ling Zhenfei pondered these questions, the car soon stopped at the entrance of a hotel.

Ling Zhenfei looked over at the hotel and clearly saw three words emblazoned on the hotel building: Yihong Courtyard.

Ling Zhenfei was startled, "Is this supposed to be a hotel or a brothel?"

"This is a brothel-themed hotel. They offer 'those' services, so a lot of people like to stay here."

Ling Zhenfei was astounded, "Is that even allowed? Don't the authorities check on such places?"

"Check what? This place is beyond the reach of the Emperor. Who can control it? Even if someone from up there comes to inspect, a small gift usually settles it. This place is a paradise for men; no one will investigate."

As they talked, Ling Zhenfei and Jiang Hui followed Ah Shan inside.

Under Ah Shan's lead, they reached a room on the third floor, where Ah Shan knocked on the door.

"Who is it?" A voice came from a large screen on the door; an image appeared, though it was very blurry.

"Brother Gou, it's me, Ah Shan. I've brought Jiang Hui," Ah Shan shouted to the person inside.

The door then opened, and Ah Shan led Ling Zhenfei and Jiang Hui inside.

On arrival, it had already been established that Ling Zhenfei was pretending to be a subordinate of Ah Shan, meticulously respectful and following closely behind.

They were reclining on the bed, watching Ling Zhenfei and the others walk in, their faces flushed, looking very tired, clearly having just finished 'that' business.

Moreover, Ling Zhenfei noticed a characteristic: all these people were no decent folks, and they all bore a resemblance, like petty thugs.
