Originally, Bai Zhan thought Xu Fei was stopping him from following because Xu Fei intended to punish him for his inefficiency!
Now, it seems he was overthinking.
This time, Hell Ear drove, heading straight for Jinmen from here.
The journey was about a hundred kilometres, likely taking over an hour, and Xu Fei fell asleep leaning against the chair.
Bai Zhan, with a single command, dismissed the extra personnel, taking a five-man team back to the capital region.
Opposite the Red Buddha Association, there was a small guesthouse.
Though the guesthouse looked somewhat dilapidated, for Bai Zhan, the building’s location and height were perfect, ideal for closely monitoring the Red Buddha Association’s every move.
Bai Zhan acted swiftly, booking the entire guesthouse, then moving into the top-floor attic, setting up military tactical binoculars.
Inside the Red Buddha Association, Gong Zisheng sat upright, seemingly in meditation.
After previous events, Gong Zisheng had already reported the hostile Xu Fei to the higher-ups.
The higher-ups’ response gave Gong Zisheng great confidence; they decided to take action against Xu Fei after the upcoming Buddha Robe Conference.
“That’s the way it should be! We have so many people, yet every time we let the opponent seize the initiative, what’s that about!”
“Once our Buddha Robe Conference is over, it’ll be your death day, Xu Fei!”
As Gong Zisheng thought this, a slight smirk curved his lips, as if he could clearly see Xu Fei kneeling and begging for mercy.
For Gong Zisheng to have such vivid delusions showed that Xu Fei’s decisive actions last time had left a significant psychological shadow.
After Gong Zisheng entertained these thoughts, Xu Fei, who had been sleeping in the car, suddenly jolted awake.
“What’s wrong, Young Master? We’re about ten minutes away, I was going to wake you when we arrived,” Hell Ear, who was driving, asked quickly upon seeing Xu Fei wake abruptly.
“Nothing… just an uncomfortable position!” Xu Fei brushed it off with a casual excuse, though he knew the real reason.
Since his last encounter with Gong Zisheng, he had set up measures, making Gong Ziekš

Gong Zisheng his unwitting informant. Thus, when Gong Zisheng was muttering to himself, Xu Fei had woken abruptly because he heard it.
Checking the date, only two days remained until the Red Buddha Association’s Buddha Robe Conference, no wonder Gong Zisheng was so eager.
“It seems, no matter what the Xiaguang Map represents this time, I need to act quickly!”
Xu Fei had consistently triumphed in his confrontations with the Red Buddha Association by seizing the initiative.
This time, he had already planned to cause a commotion during the Buddha Robe Conference.
He couldn’t afford to be delayed by other matters.
“Young Master, we’ve arrived. Where to first?”
As Hell Ear spoke, Xu Fei glanced around and said, “Help me look online for the old city district of Jinmen. Find an authentic local shop there, and we’ll go sit for a bit!”
Though Hell Ear found the request slightly surprising, he could only comply.
