Su Ping learns that the Fire King Company is involved with the Heart of Gold, an organization deemed detrimental to the Dragon Nation. Wu Kuang, the Mad Saint, arrives to interrogate and potentially execute high-level personnel from complicit companies, starting with the Fire King Company. Their plans are interrupted by a call from Dong Muyun, revealing an offer of significant financial support from the 'Golden Association' to Pingyun.

Dong Muyun hung up the phone in confusion, glancing at the caller ID with some puzzlement.

She still hadn’t quite reacted, wondering why Su Ping on the other end of the line had behaved so strangely.

And why he insisted that she come over to the Heart of Myriad Spirits at this exact time.

But that made sense too; this wasn’t some trivial matter, it was actually quite significant.

Dong Muyun didn’t waste any Time, directly activating Yunning’s personal armored Mechanical Pet Beast and flying off from the Pingyun Group’s office tower, streaking through the sky.

And while Dong Muyun was on her way, Su Ping and Wu Kuang were staring at each other.

Neither of them had expected this; they’d just been planning how to move against those Heart of Gold–affiliated companies, and now the other side had actually taken the initiative to walk right into their hands.

Dong Muyun’s arrival meant their original plan to go check on Feifei fell through.

The two of them didn’t waste words; in less than ten minutes, Dong Muyun’s figure was already knocking on the guest room door.

"Su Ping, you called me over in such a rush..."

Before Dong Muyun could finish, she saw that special figure sitting on the sofa in the guest room.

If it were anyone else, they might be shocked by his getup, but they would absolutely have no idea who he was.

But as the eldest Miss of the Dong Family, in the Dragon Nation, she was extremely clear on what each of the few Spirit Saint Level Beastmasters looked like.

Dong Muyun blinked, but didn’t speak further. She had a vague premonition that this trip was clearly unusual.

Sure enough, this Mad Saint whom she’d only ever seen in photos and never met in person before, stood up the moment he saw her arrive and smiled slightly:

"Miss Dong, come, have a seat!"

Dong Muyun nodded, flattered but still composed. She’d seen the world; a Spirit Saint Level Beastmaster, while important back in the Dong Family, wasn’t enough to leave her at a loss.

"I didn’t know Senior Mad Saint had actually come to Linzhou. I haven’t prepared anything..."

Before Dong Muyun could finish, Wu Kuang narrowed his eyes and said with a smile:

"You’ve already prepared the best gift."

Dong Muyun froze, glancing at Su Ping, but Su Ping didn’t say anything.

He was just a deputy team leader; when it came down to it, the one actually taking action was still the person in front of them. In a sense, the reason that person had made him deputy leader was merely to give him a proper excuse to pick up the leftovers.

His self-awareness was extremely clear and precise.

Without waiting for Dong Muyun to ask, Wu Kuang directly said:

"Miss Dong, I heard everything you just said to Su Ping on the phone. To be frank, both Su Ping and I are members of the special confidential organization, the Silver Order Department. What we mainly handle are these companies within the Dragon Nation that have joined the overseas organization Heart of Gold.

Oh, that so-called Golden Association is just a cover name used by some domestic companies that have joined Heart of Gold, to throw people off the scent."

At these words, Dong Muyun’s eyelids twitched rapidly.

She silently thought to herself, that was close.

At the same Time, she felt extremely fortunate about the choice she’d made back then.

As the former controller of Tianyun Group.

In Jianghai Province, she was known as Queen Dong in the business world.

How could she possibly not know about the Golden Association?

In fact, on many occasions before, people had contacted her, asking more than once if she’d be interested in joining the Golden Association.

She had done some homework on the Golden Association.

However, because of the Dong Family back then, Dong Muyun hadn’t wanted to bind Tianyun too tightly to any other forces.

After all, at that Time, control over the Families was still extremely strict.

So, to be cautious, even though the terms they offered were extremely generous, precisely because they were too generous, she hadn’t acted rashly.

And now, no longer managing Tianyun’s major affairs and instead holding control over Pingyun Company, her ties to the Dong Family had greatly weakened.

Moreover, thanks to Su Ping’s face, Pingyun’s operations in Jianghai Province were many times easier.

So when the Golden Association extended another invitation this Time, Dong Muyun was genuinely interested, which was why she had taken the initiative to call Su Ping and ask for his opinion.

She’d never imagined the situation would turn out like this.

Thus, Dong Muyun immediately stated her position:

"Senior Mad Saint, rest assured, neither I nor the Dong Family nor Pingyun Company have had any contact whatsoever with the Golden Association or Heart of Gold! And regarding this matter, I will not leak even the slightest bit of information."

Wu Kuang smiled and said:

"If that were all, why would we have you come? Our original plan was to take them down one by one. But your intel made me change my mind: if we can wipe them out in one go, or catch some big fish, that would undoubtedly be ideal!"

"Wipe them out in one go?"

Dong Muyun was stunned, then quickly shifted into the appropriate mindset:

"Senior, if that’s the case, there might be some turbulence. I don’t know much, but I do know this: many members of the Golden Association are well-known figures of various corporate groups. If you net them all at once and those companies grind to a halt, won’t that have a huge impact on the economy?"
