Of course, the gunfight in the upscale residential area near the Liyuan City government building had nothing to do with the Black Dragon Society. This whole scene was directed by Comrade Xin Yi, and the only connection to the Black Dragon Society was that a batch of standard Uniforms was printed under the guidance of the former Incense Master Longhua. The Brothers from Beng Hu Camp donned these standard Uniforms to stage a gang shootout. Naturally, there were no casualties during the shootout, which was also why they chose to perform on a rainy night; the rain could create visual obstacles and wash away any nonexistent bloodstains. Additionally, this production would like to extend special thanks to our friendly sponsor, Zhuge Kong, the Hall Master of Hidden Dragon Hall. Without his cooperation, this performance would not have been so realistic or sensational.
The working group from the Ministry of Public Security ultimately decided to have Director Xu lead a team to enter the Binhai Provincial Office. They would select elite personnel from Binhai for cross-province investigations, directly bypassing the public security system in Yongzhou. This method of investigation was unprecedented, but it became a reality due to a decisive statement from Director Duan. Consequently, the proposer of this plan, Director Xu, became the head of this working group. The rules of the Heavenly Pride Nation dictate that in such controversial matters, whoever proposes it must take full responsibility. If successful, it is considered an achievement; if it fails, well, no one will help you bear the consequences.
This outcome was naturally what both Xin Yi and Lu Jianming hoped for. As soon as the working group arrived at the Binhai Provincial Office, Director Xu immediately summoned his old comrade, Lu Jianming, to carry out specific investigative tasks. This was also a form of revenge from Director Xu. Didn't you want me to help you establish a working group? Well, it's established now, but I’m assigning you to handle the specific investigation. If it doesn’t go well, we’ll all share the responsibility.
Lu Jianming cheerfully accepted and even brought along two individuals that Xin Yi had asked Shen Liwei to send back from Longchuan. Do not underestimate these two people; even if this working group accomplishes nothing else, just resolving the case they mentioned would severely weaken the brain trust of the Black Dragon Society. From their accounts, it was clear that the mastermind behind the murder disguised as a car accident years ago was none other than Ren Xiaotian's adopted son, Yan Zheng, who is currently the second-in-command of the Black Dragon Society. Additionally, there was another individual involved: Li Gang, who is now responsible for Qiyang City as the Hall Master of Kanglong Hall. Of course, this information was provided at the behest of Xin Yi, as Zhuge Kong had already turned over a new leaf and still held greater value for future plans; he would not be implicated at this time.
After reviewing the situation, the working group decided to use that past murder case disguised as a car accident as an entry point. They first detained both Yan Zheng and Li Gang, aiming to extract more valuable information from them in order to ultimately eliminate the entire Black Dragon Society.
The arrest operation went quite smoothly. Since everything was conducted without the knowledge of the police in Yongzhou, when Yan Zheng and Li Gang were captured, they could hardly believe that the plainclothes officers led by Lu Jianming were actually police. They insisted on seeing the head of the public security bureau in Yongzhou Province. Finally, Lu Jianming told them they wouldn’t be seeing him because they were from the Ministry of Public Security. Their misdeeds within the Black Dragon Society had already attracted attention from the highest judicial authorities in the country; no one could save them now. Then, when Yan Zheng demanded to contact his lawyer, Lu Jianming slapped him across the face and said, "Do you think you're a citizen of M Country? Looking for a lawyer? Keep it up and I’ll charge you with splitting up our Motherland and treat you like a terrorist!" At once, Yan Zheng deflated; he realized he was finished—not just himself but likely also for the entire Black Dragon Society.
While still holding on somewhat bravely, Yan Zheng admitted that he had indeed planned that car accident murder case years ago but claimed ignorance about anything else related to the Black Dragon Society. He chose to stand firm against government pressure. In contrast, Li Gang wasn’t as loyal; he disclosed everything he knew about past events including details about that car accident murder case and pointed out that it involved participation from Zhuge Kong, Hall Master of Hidden Dragon Hall . However, since what he knew was limited core information, it wasn’t enough to pose any significant threat to their cunning leader, Ren Xiaotian . With Yan Zheng refusing to cooperate further, the working group decided to arrest Zhuge Kong . Although there were discrepancies between what Li Gang and those two drivers said regarding Zhuge Kong ’s involvement, bringing him in for questioning was still feasible. Thus, Lu Jianming set off again for Liyuan City to capture Zhuge Kong .
In Liyuan City , Lu Jianming met with Xin Yi and Lu Hanmeng . Xin Yi understood why he had come but noted that they couldn’t convict Zhuge Kong at this moment; doing so would jeopardize their ongoing plans. Therefore, Xin Yi requested a few days' grace from Lu Jianming so he could complete his own objectives first.
Since Yan Zheng and Li Gang were arrested, Ren Xiaotian truly began feeling fear. He contacted senior officials in Yongzhou Province ; however, they refused to take his calls. Even when someone did answer him briefly dismissed him with just a few words—indicating that no one in all of Yongzhou could handle this situation. Rumor had it that this time around, the working group established by the Ministry of Public Security had completely bypassed higher-ups in Yongzhou for their investigation; now no one could do anything.
Of course, Ren Xiaotian understood what this situation implied: since the Ministry of Public Security acted this way, it meant not only his own organization—the Black Dragon Society —but also all officials in Yongzhou were about to face a major reshuffling. Everyone else was too busy saving themselves to care about him! It seemed like his doom was imminent. While not afraid of death—having risen from being an impoverished miner to amassing wealth and status purely through reckless determination—he couldn’t accept that his self-built kingdom might collapse alongside his downfall. He refused to accept that fate.
In recent days, Ren Xiaotian had become acutely aware of unusual movements around him; whether at home or within his corporate offices, he noticed seemingly unrelated individuals lingering nearby. Being as astute as he was, he could tell from their eyes and actions that they were definitely undercover police or armed forces due to their strong military presence. It appeared he had fallen under surveillance and would soon be targeted.
However, what Ren Xiaotian didn’t realize was that these individuals were not police or armed forces at all; they were actually brothers from Beng Hu Camp arranged by Xin Yi . The brothers had been trained by Qin Dali as special forces soldiers all along—hence their strong military aura. The purpose behind this arrangement by Xin Yi was solely to create psychological pressure on Ren Xiaotian —to make him believe that police action against him was imminent—forcing him into compliance with their plans.
Without a doubt, Xin Yi's tactics were effective; Ren Xiaotian indeed became anxious. He began to arrange an escape route for the Black Dragon Society and the Black Dragon Mining Group. Ren Xiaotian had a son, but he was a good-for-nothing who only knew how to drive luxury cars and chase after models, completely ignorant of business matters. This is why Ren Xiaotian took in the capable Yan Zheng as his godson to help manage the affairs of the Black Dragon Society and the Black Dragon Mining Group. Now that Yan Zheng had been arrested by the police, the only trustworthy and capable people left under him were the three Hall Masters of the Black Dragon Society. Among these three Hall Masters, the one Ren Xiaotian trusted the most was Zhuge Kong. Zhuge Kong's abilities were recognized throughout the Black Dragon Society; if Ren Xiaotian played the role of Liu Bei in his kingdom, then Zhuge Kong should be regarded as his Zhuge Liang. However, this Zhuge Liang had turned rogue and allied himself with Cao Cao.
Ren Xiaotian once again summoned all the leaders of the Black Dragon Society, requiring all heads above Altar Master to attend. At the meeting, Ren Xiaotian announced a decision: he would no longer serve as the leader of the Black Dragon Society, passing that role to his son Ren Fangnian, while the former Hall Master of Hidden Dragon Hall, Zhuge Kong, would serve as Vice Leader to assist Ren Fangnian in managing the gang's affairs.
Afterward, Ren Xiaotian convened a meeting with shareholders and senior management of the Black Dragon Mining Group, announcing that he would transfer all his shares to his son Ren Fangnian. Zhuge Kong would act as Ren Fangnian's representative and exercise shareholder rights within the group as its largest shareholder.
At this point, Ren Xiaotian had completely distanced himself from both the Black Dragon Society and the Black Dragon Mining Group. He felt he could now accept his impending fate with peace of mind. However, what surprised Ren Xiaotian was that it was Zhuge Kong—whom he believed could protect himself—who was invited by the police for questioning first. After all, despite Yan Zheng and Li Gang being detained for such a long time, Zhuge Kong had remained unharmed; he thought Yan Zheng and Li Gang had held out without implicating him.
The day after Zhuge Kong's arrest, Ren Xiaotian was finally captured. Strangely enough, after Ren Xiaotian's arrest, Zhuge Kong was released instead. The members of the Black Dragon Society were unaware of what had transpired during this time. Later, Zhuge Kong explained that Ren Xiaotian knew that the police's target was him, so he took on all the blame to protect Zhuge Kong. Of course, no one among the gang members doubted this explanation because just days before their arrests, Ren Xiaotian had personally made arrangements for both the gang and company that clearly aimed to elevate Zhuge Kong's status, positioning him as a sort of regent beside young leader Ren Fangnian.
Zhuge Kong's release was not so simple; it was a result of collaboration between Xin Yi and Lu Jianming. In reality, what implicated Zhuge Kong were merely Li Gang's testimonies. It was quite easy to get someone like Li Gang to change his statement; after Xin Yi met with him alone once, he quickly recanted his earlier testimony, claiming that he initially intended to frame Zhuge Kong.
During his questioning, Zhuge Kong provided substantial leads regarding the case's progress. He had been closely associated with Ren Xiaotian and Yan Zheng over the years and knew all of the Black Dragon Society's core secrets. Thus, he cooperated with police investigations by detailing many issues concerning Ren Xiaotian and Yan Zheng, laying a solid foundation for their downfall. Meanwhile, Ren Xiaotian remained loyal and took all responsibility upon himself without mentioning any issues related to Zhuge Kong. Under his protection, he ultimately handed over his self-established kingdom to others.
Of course, not long after this entire affair became the foundation for Three Tiger Group, Zhuge Kong—who played a crucial role in these events—ultimately could not escape legal consequences due to other matters.
