According to Xiang Feiting, the Heart Flower Society is the Bai family's eyeliner in Tongxin City, acting as its minions. And Ma Xinglong is the actual head of the Xinhua Society.

Xiang Feiting said: "However, according to my observation over the years, Ma Xinglong's rank is by no means the highest in the Heart Flower Society, and his ability to control the Heart Flower Society largely depends on the support of the Bai family, and the actual power he can mobilize is very limited."

In order to consolidate their control over Haizhou, the Bai family designed step by step to eliminate the local forces in Haizhou. The purpose of the Xinhua Society is to check and balance each other and consume each other. In this way, Ma Xinglong is just an important eyeliner planted by the Bai family in the major forces, and he mingles among all parties as a "feng shui master" to secretly collect intelligence. Of course, it was also he who first discovered Li Rui's identity as a cultivator, and designed the plan "Operation Lava" to use Li Rui as a pawn to suppress local factions.

"First of all, Ma Xinglong created a situation of two tigers fighting each other in Shancheng, firstly, to attack the Ding family's supporters and weaken their strength; The second is to eliminate the "Baichuan Pass" and clear away other obstructive forces." Xiang Feiting said.

Ma Xinglong was keenly aware of the huge value of turtle and turtle wine, and successively made suggestions to Mu Sensen and Chen Hao, prompting both parties to snatch the secret recipe. However, it was resolved by Li Rui with "golden cicada shelling", "backdoor listing", and joint Chen anti-wood, etc., and he took a fancy to Li Rui's special value and used it as a chess piece to stir up the current situation in Haizhou.

"Subsequently, Ma Xinglong provoked the conflict between Dongjun and Shancheng. With the help of the rise of Shengshi Liquor, he made a big fuss, and secretly promoted Mu Sensen to attack Mo Yaohua and Mo Yaoting, and pointed the spearhead at the Fang family behind the Mo family. You'll know what will happen next." Xiang Feiting said.

"He used me as bait to eradicate the five major forces of Tongxin City in one fell swoop." Li Rui said.

Xiang Feiting nodded and said, "This is actually what Operation Lava is all about."

Li Rui shook his head and said, "Not necessarily, isn't the Night Shadow Gate working intensively on the development of a biochemical killer?"

Xiang Feiting sneered: "That is the last resort when it is absolutely necessary, originally, he did not plan to use it, but Ma Xinglong's plan was destroyed by you one by one, so this plan must not be adopted."

"Then now that the Chen family is firmly controlled by me, and the chess piece of the Zhang family has lost its effect, what does Ma Xinglong plan to do next?" Li Rui asked.

"Next—" Xiang Feiting glanced at Lou Jun and said, "Next, Ma Xinglong wants to use the power of the Lou family to deal with the Chen family."

"So, when I came to Tongxin City that day, I encountered the assassination of the Lou family, which was planned by Ma Xinglong?"

Lou Jun nodded and said, "Yes, I was also kept in the dark about this matter, but fortunately, Miss Zhang told me the truth today."

"Our Lou family has always been at odds with the Xinhua Society, and there is no contact with each other, the reason why the Lou family will attack the Chen family is entirely because the Xinhua Society deliberately revealed to me that the long-disappeared beating king is in the hands of Chen Yao, the new chairman of Long Yan."

Hearing Lou Jun's explanation, the doubts in Li Rui's heart suddenly became clear.

"I see." Li Rui snorted coldly: "What a trick to kill with a knife."

"Ma Xinglong's plan is to pit the Chen Lou family against each other and reap the benefits. And I almost fell for his tricks, and when the two families are defeated, he will undoubtedly be the biggest winner." Lou Jun said.

"Yes, when the time comes, he will be able to push you to power, Mr. Jiang, so as to fully control Long Yan. As for your grandfather, I'm afraid you won't have any use value at that time, either you will steal your life and belong to him, or you will become a stepping stone for him just like the Lou family."

Zhang Wanquan gritted his teeth and said, "I have long seen that Ma Xinglong is not a good thing, hey, it's too late to regret it!"

"It's not your fault, Ma Xinglong uses the identity of a feng shui master as a cover, for the relatively superstitious Ou people, you can't see through his tricks, as early as in his calculations." Li Rui said, "Otherwise, there are so many people in the Zhang family, how can there be no one who understands."

Hearing this, Zhang Wanquan was even more ashamed.

"Li Rui, don't say it, it's all my mistake that Zhang Wanquan misheard the villain's words, which led to today's fratricidal situation, I, I have no face

Live in the world!"

With that, Zhang Wanquan rushed towards the pillar.

"Daddy!"

"Grandpa!"

The crowd was shocked.

Fortunately, Li Rui quickly grabbed him and persuaded him, "Grandpa, I have already said that the fault is not you, if you want to blame, blame Ma Xinglong for being too cunning."

"Yes, Dad, why do you bother to look for a short time!" Zhang Ailing advised: "Today, the truth is revealed, we should fight the same enemy and deal with Ma Xinglong together."

"Ailing, but Dad, Dad, I'm sorry for you!" Zhang Wanquan said remorsefully: "I hurt you, don't you blame me?"

"Dad, it's all over, no matter what you say, it's my father." Zhang Ailing said with tears in her eyes.

"Grandpa, I have a way to cure my aunt's illness, you don't have to worry about it, the top priority is to think about how to deal with Ma Xinglong."

"Really?" Zhang Wanquan looked at Li Rui with a grateful expression.

"Hmm." Zhang Ailing nodded and said, "Li Rui said that if there is a way, it will definitely be cured."

"Miss Xiang, if Ma Xinglong's strategy of killing people with a knife is not successful, does he have a second plan?" Li Rui looked at Xiang Feiting and asked.

Xiang Feiting shook his head and said, "I don't know."

Since Lou Jun has made peace with Zhang Wanquan and has the same hatred, it should not be a lie to say to Feiting that he doesn't know.

Li Rui sighed and said, "Ma Xinglong is acting secretively, we don't know what he will do next without waiting for him to make a move, it seems that we can only wait."

Zhang Wanquan nodded and said, "Li Rui, don't worry, from now on, my Zhang family will fully support you, but your life is obeyed, and the Zhang family has no words!"

Lou Jun also said that the Lou family would obey Li Rui's orders.

"Okay, with the words of the two, I'm relieved!"

As he spoke, Li Rui gave Zhang Ailing a look. Zhang Ailing handed the seal of beating Wang to Li Rui. Li Rui held the seal high, and suddenly exerted force, "click", and the seal was split into two.

"Grandpa, the owner of the Lou family, I know that the disagreement between the two is because of this beating of the king seal, and now the beating of the king seal has been divided into two, I will give it to the two of them."

"This ......"

Lou Jun and Zhang Wan looked at each other comprehensively, not understanding what Li Rui meant.

"When I first arrived in Tongxin City, I was puzzled why this place was called Tongxin City, but later I checked the local chronicles and found out that the name of Tongxin City has existed since ancient times. This is the place where the Ou people live, the Ou people drink the same river water, the same origin, unite as one, so it is called Tongxin City. In the past, although the two had hatred and prejudices, I hope that from now on, everyone can turn hostility into jade silk and become the leader of the Ou people, and keep in mind one truth: cooperation is beneficial to both sides, and fighting is harmful!"

Li Rui's words made Lou Jun and Zhang Wanquan feel ashamed, and immediately took the seal and vowed to live in peace forever.

As a result, two of the five major forces in Tongxin City have been mastered by Li Rui, and Ma Xinglong's supporters of the Zhang family have also been won over, and their strength has been greatly enhanced.

Jiang Yongming also gave up the idea of competition and made up his mind to assist Chen Yao well. After Xiang Feiting's identity was exposed today, returning to the Heart Flower Club would inevitably lead to a dead end, so Li Rui absorbed her into the Foundation to prepare for the future.

After dealing with the matter here, Li Rui and Zhang Ailing returned to Lingxiao No. 1. When he came, Li Ruite brought three bags of medicine, and as soon as he entered the door, he handed them to Zhang Ailing and advised: "Aunt, each medicine can be boiled twice, don't drink too much the first time, because this decoction is too bitter, slowly drink it to get used to it, and then increase the amount."

"Li Rui, thank you so much." Zhang Ailing took the medicine and said with a smile, "You sit, let's eat today and then leave."

Li Rui touched his stomach, it was indeed time to eat, and said with a smile: "Then it is better to be respectful than to obey your fate."

Zhang Ailing usually almost never cooks herself, but today in order to entertain Li Rui, she actually picked up the craft that had been abandoned for more than ten years.

It didn't take long for Zhang Ailing to set up a table of sumptuous meals.

"Wow, it's so rich, you did it all by yourself?"

Li Rui said incredulously.

"My hands are rusty, how about you taste it?"

Seeing Li Rui's gobbling up, Zhang Ailing involuntarily touched Li Rui's face and said, "Eat slowly, no one will rob you."

Li Rui muttered in agreement, picked up a piece of braised pork and put it on Zhang Ailing's plate, and said, "Auntie, you can eat some too." By the way, haven't you been busy lately? You look tired."

Zhang Ailing rubbed her brows and said with a smile: "There is indeed something wrong, your wife has just taken power, and I still need to assist her in many things, although I didn't deal with her mother before, but I have done my best to complete the company's affairs."

"Of course I believe that." Li Rui stopped, stared at Zhang Ailing, and said, "Aunt, don't be too tired, rest more, and let them do what you can give to the people below."

Zhang Ailing was moved in her heart, shook her head and smiled, "It's okay, it's good to be busy during this time."

Li Rui nodded, took a sip of red wine, remembered something, and then asked, "By the way, what are you going to do next?"

"What are you going to do, do you want to sweep me out of the house?" Zhang Ailing said while eating the braised pork that Li Rui helped her sandwich, "When I am busy for the past few days, I am ready to retire."

"Retirement? You're retiring at such a young age?" Li Rui asked.

Zhang Ailing's face turned slightly red, and she said coquettishly, "I'm old." But there was a burst of sweetness in my heart.

"Why, you look like thirty at most."

"Cut, do you think I'm pretty?"

"Beautiful!"

"I'm pretty or Yaoyao is pretty."

As he spoke, Li Rui picked up the glass and drank the red wine, then patted his belly and said, "Okay, I'm done."

Seeing that he deliberately avoided it, Zhang Ailing did not continue to ask. He just stretched out his right index finger and nodded it on his forehead, and scolded with a smile, "I know you're talking nonsense."

"Jingle bells".

Just then, the phone rang.

"Hey, I am." Zhang Ailing picked up the phone.

A crisp woman's voice came, saying, "Auntie, something is wrong, the Ding family has been destroyed overnight!"

"The Ding family? Destroyed? How is this possible? Who did it?"

The call was made by Chen Yao, and a sensational news ensued - the Ding family in Haizhou, including Ding Yue, the head of the Ding family, were all killed overnight.

A generation of heroes has come to an end.
