at this time.

In a villa.

The middle-aged man is sitting on a chair, taking a nap with his eyes closed.

The black bird stood on his shoulder, tilting its head from time to time, staring blankly at the middle-aged man's face.

Dong dong dong...

There was a knock on the room door.

"Come in."

The middle-aged man slowly opened his eyes and said.

The door to the room opened.

A man in black walked in.

He bowed and spoke respectfully.

"Replying to your lord, the investigation has been completed!"

"The person selling those items is a guy named Xu Han."

The middle-aged man frowned slightly.

"Xu Han? Is it Xu Han, the top scorer in the city's college entrance examination?"

The man in black robe nodded.

The corners of the middle-aged man's mouth raised slightly, revealing a cold smile.

"interesting."

"We haven't taken the initiative to cause trouble for him, but he dares to come to us?"

"This Xu Han is quite courageous!"

The man in black robe said respectfully: "Sir, do you need to send someone to deal with Xu Han now?"

The middle-aged man shook his head.

He leaned on crutches, slowly stood up and said, "Don't be anxious."

"There is still one month left before the term starts at Longguo University."

"As long as he is still in Donghai City, he can't escape! There is no need to rush."

"At this time, his reputation is at its most prosperous. If he takes action forcefully, no matter it is the Donghai City official or the Zhenhai General Office."

"It's even possible to alert the Dragon Kingdom headquarters!"

"So, please be patient for now, do you understand?"

The man in black robe nodded and said respectfully: "Yes, sir!"

The middle-aged man waved his hand: "Okay, you go ahead."

"I need to change my clothes too."

"Today is my niece Xia Ling's coming-of-age ceremony, and I have to attend."

"In addition, my unlucky son was beaten. Please investigate this matter for me."

"yes!"

The man in black robe turned and left quickly.

Rose Manor Community.

The communities here are all single-family villas.

In the innermost part of the community, there are three villas covering a huge area.

One of them is where the Xia family is located.

today.

The open space in front of Xia's house was filled with all kinds of luxury cars.

Many well-dressed people were chatting and laughing in the courtyard of the villa.

Everyone came here for the coming-of-age ceremony for Xia Ling, the daughter of the Xia family.

At the entrance of the villa.

Xia Ling changed from the ancient style female swordsman's attire and put on a pure white dress.

Her figure is already tall.

Paired with a long skirt, she looks like a proud white swan.

Many men drooled at the sight.

But they just dare to think about it in their hearts.

After all, Xia Ling's father Xia Xiuwei is the president of the Donghai City Chamber of Commerce.

In charge of Donghai City Trading Market and Donghai City Auction House.

Many people want to buy some rare equipment or skill books, as well as some materials.

They all have to have a good relationship with Xia Xiuwei.

Xia Ling stood at the door eagerly, as if waiting for someone.

At this time.

A car pulls into the parking lot.

immediately.

A young man wearing a dark purple robe walked out of the car with the support of two men.

When he saw Xia Ling, an excited smile appeared on his face.

He shook off his two men and limped to the door.

He held the wall with one hand and looked at Xia Ling affectionately.

"Ling'er, are you here to wait for me?"

Xia Ling frowned and took two steps back, keeping her distance from the person in front of her.

"Lei Hongyang, we are just ordinary friends. Just call me Xia Ling."

Lei Hongyang said with a sad face: "Ling'er, we grew up together. Why are you so indifferent to me now?"

"There is still a baby kiss between you and me set by our fathers!"

Xia Ling frowned and said, "That's just a joke between the fathers."

Lei Hongyang wanted to say something else.

But he saw a middle-aged man with a tall figure, as tall as a mountain, walking straight towards him.

Behind him were boys with the same muscular build.

It was Tieshan and his son.

Xia Ling said obediently: "Hello, Uncle Tie."

Tiegang's calm expression suddenly turned into a smile when he met Xia Ling.

"Haha, I haven't seen my niece Xia Ling for a long time. She looks so beautiful. She is indeed a girl."

"When you were young, your father and I wanted to have a baby kiss."

"Now it seems that this boy Tieshan is not worthy of your Phoenix?"

Tieshan was speechless.

How could any father harm his son like this?

Xia Ling's pretty face turned red and she said, "Thank you, Uncle Tie, for the compliment."

Tiegang looked at Lei Hongyang aside, and the smile on his face disappeared instantly.

"Hongyang, you're here too, let's go in together."

Lei Hongyang dared not speak out when he was angry.

Tiegang was also his uncle, and he had a very good relationship with his father.

If Tiegang is angered and beaten, his father will not speak for him.

He lifted his legs and limped behind Tie Gang and walked inside.

Tiegang looked at Lei Hongyang with slight confusion.

"What happened to your leg?"

The corners of Lei Hongyang's mouth twitched.

If others knew, my leg was broken.

Wouldn't that be embarrassing?

He could only smile awkwardly and said: "I was injured by a strange beast. I have been treated and it is no longer a problem."

Tiegang nodded and said no more.

Enter the villa.

Immediately, several people came over and got close to Tie Gang Tao.

Lei Hongyang and Tieshan left separately to rest.

Xia Ling was still standing at the door waiting.

"Why hasn't he come yet? Did he forget? It shouldn't be possible, right?"

At this time.

A middle-aged man wearing gold-rimmed glasses and looking gentle and elegant walked out of it.

Xia Ling asked in confusion: "Dad, why did you come out?"

Xia Xiuwei said with a smile: "A distinguished guest is coming soon, so of course I have to go out to greet him in person."

"Dignified guest?"

Xia Ling looked confused.

Within a few minutes.

A car drove to the parking lot at the door.

A middle-aged man stepped out of the car, waved to Xia Xiuwei with a smile and said, "President Xia, long time no see."

It is Dai Guoqiang, director of the Investigation Bureau.

Xia Ling finally knew who the distinguished guest his father was talking about was.

Dai Guoqiang and his father were former comrades in arms and had a very good relationship.

Xia Xiuwei went up to him, punched Dai Guoqiang on the shoulder, laughed and cursed: "Do you want to do this with me?"

Dai Guoqiang smiled and said, "By the way, the city lord asked me to bring a gift."

"He is busy investigating the siege of the alien beasts. He really can't come. Please ask me to say happy birthday to Xia Ling."

Xia Xiuwei accepted the gift: "Your Majesty, the City Lord is too kind."

"Is there no result yet from the investigation?"

Dai Guoqiang shook his head: "Donghai City's intelligence team has been dispatched, and a rough result has been obtained so far."

"It's the work of the Abyss Cult, but its purpose is still unknown."

Xia Xiuwei frowned and said, "It's this abyss cult again! It's really harmful!"

Dai Guoqiang nodded slightly: "If some masters hadn't ruined their plan, I'm afraid the entire Donghai City would have been in ruins."

While they were chatting.

Another car pulled into the parking lot.

The car door opens.

A hearty laugh rang out.

"Lao Dai, you are a very fast driver."
