Chapter 299 Information Network
Jin Yang seemed to have gone mad. He held onto Jin Ran and slapped him hard again and again.
“My family has been destroyed in your hands!”
“You rebellious child! You little bastard!”
Jin Yang cursed and slapped him again.
If Jin Ran hadn’t tried to bully Lin Yuzhen, he wouldn’t have offended Jiang Ning.
His family wouldn’t have landed in such a predicament today. He wouldn’t have had to let the
woman he loved most be violated by another man!
All this fury was unleashed in this instant. Jin Yang couldn’t control himself and Jin Ran howled in
pain from the slapping.
“Dad! Spare me! Spare me!!”
Jin Ran’s limbs were all broken so there was no way he could fight back. He could only cry and beg
for mercy.
He knew that the Jin family was doomed. They were completely doomed.
If they didn’t get out of Shengcheng in one day, Jiang Ning was really going to finish them off.
Jiang Ning didn’t even need to deal with them personally. As long as he said the word, there were
thousands in Shengcheng who were willing to help Jiang Ning to wipe the Jin family out.
After leaving the Jin house, Jiang Ning went to Masquerade Club.
The main gate was locked and the doors were sealed.
He tore the seal and walked right in, leaving Brother Gou to guard the door.
It hadn’t been long, but while everything was still here, the people here weren’t the same anymore.
The club looked a mess.
Nobody looked after the bonsai plants, so many of them had withered.
Jiang Ning walked to the backyard and the pond water was murky. There was a figure carefully
wading through the pond and picking up the lotus leaves that had gone underwater.

“Mr Jiang?”
Butler Zhao turned when he heard a sound and there was surprise on his face.
His hair was a little messy and looked like he hadn’t bothered about it. He didn’t look neat and smart
like he used to.
Butler Zhao quickly got out of the pond and wiped his hands, but didn’t dare to shake Jiang Ning’s
hand.
“Master Fu has passed on, so I found a secret place to bury him,” said Butler Zhao. “There were
people from the north who came looking for his body, but they left after they couldn’t find it.”
Jiang Ning nodded.
He knew that Butler Zhao had followed Master Fu since he was younger, so he was one of Master
Fu’s most trusted ones.
“But unfortunately, Broken Sword’s body…”
Butler Zhao’s face was filled with regret and sadness.
“Don’t worry.”
Jiang Ning just said these two words.
Butler Zhao looked up with a start and his eyes lit up. A tear started coming to his eye.
“Thank you! Thank you so much!” he quickly said through his tears.
Jiang Ning had made sure that nobody violated Broken Sword’s body. That meant a lot to him.
“Master Fu told me before that Masquerade Club is actually a place to get information. Can it still
operate in that capacity now?” Jiang Ning went straight to the point.
Butler Zhao had always been the one in charge of this, so he knew best.
“Mr Jiang has a need for this place?”
Butler Zhao had intended to give the place up.
Master Fu had set up this place himself and had nothing to do with the Luo family in the north.
But since both Master Fu and Broken Sword were dead, Butler Zhao didn’t want to continue running
it. He was already prepared to find somewhere else to spend his remaining days.
But he couldn’t bear to leave this place. He had lived here for twenty years after all, and he knew
every corner of this place.
“I have a need for this place,” Jiang Ning didn’t beat around the bush. “To me, having a place to
gather information is very important.”
He took a step forward and looked at Butler Zhao. “Butler Zhao is familiar with this, so if you still
have an attachment to this place, do you think you could stay and continue running this club?”
Butler Zhao trembled.
“Don’t worry, I won’t interfere at all. You can have full control of the place. I just hope that this club
can continue to be in existence so that when I need information, I can come here and get some
from you.”
Butler Zhao’s lips trembled. He knew how valuable an information network like his was. There were
so many powers from the north who came looking for him secretly and wanted him to work for them.
He knew that if he refused them, he might have trouble living in safety for the rest of his life.
Perhaps he might suddenly die without even knowing what hit him.
And now Jiang Ning said he needed him?
