Chapter 104: Intelligence
“The gang I founded, the Thunder Flood Society, has 64,000 ordinary members, over 7,000 core members, and is one of the three major overlords of Lanzhou. Its main headquarters is in Jiayuan City, with branch headquarters in…”
“I have married five wives in my lifetime, fathered two daughters, and taken disciples…”
“The first madam, Madam Jin, is gentle in character. She was the only daughter of Jin Can, the chief escort of the Golden Lion Escort Agency. She was killed, leaving behind a daughter named Mo Yuzhu.”
“The second madam, Madam Li, is educated and sensible, daughter of a prominent family, with no children.”
“The third madam, Madam Liu, is naturally fiery and ambitious. She is the younger sister of Liu Feng, the head of the Changfeng Sect in Quling City, and has no children. She requires close attention.”
“The fourth madam, Madam Yan, my cousin, is calm, highly scheming, and has the demeanor of a great family. She gave birth to a daughter named Mo Caihuan. Before leaving, most of the Thunder Flood Society’s power was transferred to Madam Yan, and she can be trusted.”
“The fifth madam, Madam Wang, is silent and reserved, devoted to me wholeheartedly. She was originally the personal maid of Madam Jin, has no children, but secretly holds a hidden power and can be absolutely trusted.”
“My adopted daughter, Mo Fengwu, is the daughter of a trusted subordinate whose parents passed away. I took her as my adopted daughter. When I left, she was only seven years old, intelligent and bright.”
“Yan Ge, my first disciple, of average talent, has been taught the supreme technique Demon Silver Hand. When I left, he was twelve years old but still immature in character.”
“Zhao Kun, my second disciple, extraordinarily gifted, has been taught the supreme technique Trapped Dragon Technique. When I left, he was ten years old and still immature in character.”
“Ma Kongtian, my sworn younger brother, serves as the chief protector of the Thunder Flood Society. His personality is…”

Han Li held Doctor Mo’s handwritten will, filled with words, pacing back and forth in a room of the Huiyuan Inn, deep in thought.
The will was written in meticulous detail, not only clearly outlining the family estate Doctor Mo had established—the Thunder Flood Society—but also briefly describing the personalities of all his wives, giving Han Li some understanding.
However, the contents of the will reflected the situation from nearly ten years ago. Things must have changed drastically since then.
What exactly should he do? Should he contact Doctor Mo’s wives, or steal the warm sun jade and escape? Han Li could only decide after gathering detailed information.
This made the local big shot Sun Ergou, whom he had tamed yesterday, extremely useful. Surely, he could provide a lot of valuable information.
After reading the will carefully once more, Han Li put it away and looked up thoughtfully. He then walked to the bed and sat down.
Spreading his legs slightly and placing his palms upward on his knees, he closed his eyes and began to sense the condition within his body.
The strip of yin-cold poison in his dantian had started to spread outwards about a month ago. What had once been a faint shadow had now solidified into a black mass the size of a pea, continuously growing.
Han Li estimated that in at most two months, the poison would fully erupt. By then, he might not escape death.
Deeply worried, Han Li secretly resolved to get the “warm sun jade” at all costs just as someone knocked on the door.
“Come in!” Han Li opened his eyes and said coldly.
The door was gently pushed open. Sun Ergou entered with his head lowered and bowed deeply upon seeing Han Li, then respectfully said, “Greetings, young master! Sun Ergou is here to receive your orders!”
“Not bad, you came so quickly. You do have some skill!” Han Li said with satisfaction. Then he stood up from the bed, clasped his hands behind his back, and walked to stand in front of Sun Ergou.
