mily group!To secure this contract, his father went to great lengths, pulling strings on several levels and spending a fortune before finally getting it.If the contract is voided, he's really done for...Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Also, make them provide their network of contacts within the country!" Ling Hao continued.

"Anyone suspected will be detained, regardless of who they are, and no leniency will be shown!"

"Hmm The Hidden Will!" The Judge was slightly taken aback before angrily saying, "The Sakura Commerce Guild truly has issues! They're really asking for death!"

"Give Canglang a call and have them check every branch of the Sakura Merchant Association within our territory!" Ling Hao continued to instruct.

“Got it!” The judge nodded vigorously and hung up the phone.

Thump!

After Ling Hao hung up the phone, Pan Xiaoguang and the other two people directly knelt down to him, their bodies trembling more and more frequently.

They had already heard from Ling Hao's words that the man before them was actually a member of Yingmen!

Moreover, judging from Ling Hao's commanding tone, they could guess with their toes that Ling Hao held a high position of authority within the Shadow Gate.

They all know very well what Yingmen's position is like within the country!

Apart from a few major domestic clans, there are probably not many aristocratic families who dare to ignore the Shadow Gate.

And they also know that just a few days ago, the second young master of another prominent family in Jianghai, the Wu family, was killed by people from Yingmen!

They never dreamed that they would meet just anyone, and that person would turn out to be their ultimate despair!

The three of them regretted it so much their intestines turned green. If they had known this would happen, they wouldn't have come to deliver themselves to death.

"I'm so sorry, I was blind to your identity. I didn't know you were from the Shadow Gate. I'm truly sorry," Pan Xiaoguang said, kowtowing and trembling as he spoke.

"Now are you willing to kowtow" Ling Hao said softly, "Weren't you just very tough Now that you know you're afraid"

After finishing his words, his tone became serious: "You better not let the Shadow Gate find you or have anything to do with Pan's family and the Hidden Village, otherwise, your days as a young master are over!"

"It's okay, I swear it's really not a big deal," Pan Xiaoguang trembled all over.

"Our Pan family only has a business cooperation with Sakura Company. Besides that, there is absolutely nothing else."

"Don't jump to conclusions. Let's wait for the results of Shadow Gate's investigation!" Ling Hao interrupted him and continued, "What do you think"

"What is the purpose of his visit to Toho this time"

"After the three major families of Tung Tung Island encountered trouble, they left behind many business opportunities. He invited me over to take a look," Pan Xiaoguang responded quickly.

"Get lost!" Ling Hao waved his hand.

"Thank you," the three people said once more, bowing deeply before scrambling to their feet and running out the door.

Meanwhile.

As the Dianguan made several calls, over ten thousand disciples of Yingmen from all regions within the country once again took action, heading to Sakura Trade Guilds everywhere.

Overnight, all branches of the Cherry Blossom Association in Daxia were sealed, and all relevant personnel were taken away for investigation.

And those domestic institutions that had business dealings with Sakura Commerce, upon hearing the news, were immediately on edge, scrambling to find out what had happened.

Once the truth was revealed, one by one they became apprehensive and immediately launched a self-examination to see if they were involved in anything sensitive.

The next morning, many people proactively approached Yingmen, pleading for leniency.

As for Shadow Gate, any act of treason will be severely punished, without exception!

This afternoon.

Ling Hao was out on business with Lu Yue, driving when his phone rang.

"Judge, is something the matter" Ling Hao asked after answering the phone.

"Big brother, the Special Patrol officers are here. They're shouting and demanding to take Hei Gong for interrogation!" The judge's voice was filled with anger.

"Is that so They came rather quickly, didn't they" Ling Hao spoke lightly. "I'll be right there!"

After hanging up the phone, I told Lu Yue: "Go to Yinge Men!"

To him, even when the judge issued that Shadow Gate announcement, he knew for sure that people from the Special Patrol Division would definitely pay a visit.

Three years ago, Hei Gong was not only wanted by Yingmen but also listed as a key target by the Special Patrol Division.

He had the yamen official issue that proclamation. In a way, he was actually waiting for the inspectors from the Special Patrol Division to show up.

Heihei had disappeared for three years, but now he's back in everyone's sights. The people at the city gate must have gotten the news as soon as possible.

For them, the first step would definitely be for the Special Patrol Division to investigate Ling Hao's resolve. If that doesn't work, they will take further action.

"Big brother, what's going on" Lu Yue asked after stepping on the gas.

"The Special Patrol went to the Shadow Gate to take away Hei Gong!" Ling Hao replied.

"Hmph, they're trying to hide their guilt!" Lu Yue chuckled coldly.

After a slight pause, he continued, "However, the aristocratic families have been in charge of the Special Inspectorate for many years. There are quite a few loyalists among them. We need to be careful."

"Hmph, what kind of tricks could a small patrol officer like you possibly pull" Ling Hao smiled faintly.

"Living off of lavish meals, idling all day without accomplishing anything important, and constantly fawning over people—they've probably long forgotten the purpose of the Patrol Department!"

"They better not push their luck, or else I'll have the Dongzhou Special Patrol shut down!"

"Okay!" Lu Yue's mouth twitched.

As expected of the big brother, this courage is unparalleled. I estimate that only he would dare to evaluate the Special Patrol Division in such a way.

If this got back to the capital, I reckon a whole bunch of people would be furious enough to spit blood.

At the same time, at the East Ocean Film Studio, two groups of people were facing each other, the atmosphere was tense.

Of course, one side was led by the Judge and his Shadow Gate disciples. Feng Xu and a number of core members of the East Zhou Shadow Gate followed closely behind.

The other side was led by a man with a bushy beard, and the patrol officers of the Special Patrol Group were all present. Naturally, Ma Ming and Chen Yu, the East Asia Chief Inspector and Deputy Inspector respectively, were also there. Both had somewhat embarrassed expressions on their faces.

"Judge, the Special Investigation Division is handling this case and we hope you will cooperate!"

The man with the bushy beard spoke in a low voice. This man was Hao Tianheng, the Eastern District Patrol Commissioner of the Special Inspection Division.

"Your special inspectorate is truly imposing, investigating all the way to my Shadow Gate. Who granted you this authority!" The judge replied coldly.

"The Special Inspectorate has been ordered to apprehend the wanted criminal Heigong. This is an order from the capital city. Are you, Yingmen, going to defy orders" Hao Tianheng continued to speak in a deep voice.

"Heh heh, think you can pressure me with the capital city" The judge sneered: "Too bad, you can't scare me!"

I emphasize again, Black Gong is an honorary elder of our Yin Men for life, not a fugitive!

"Judge, are you really going to go your own way" Hao Tianheng frowned. "Can you afford the consequences if something goes wrong"

"Alright, stop all that chatter!" The Judge's voice turned grave.

"All these young men here stand tall and proud, there's no fugitive you described. Get out of here now!"

Otherwise, considered as an attempt to attack the Shadow Gate base, behead!ster of the Chu family!" Ye Ji walked to Ling Hao's side and spoke in a low voice."Mm!" Ling Hao nodded slightly."The infamous King of the West, not guarding his kingdom's gate in the Western Territor...
