It was a starry night, and the stars in the sky rippled on the surface of the pool.
The banquet had already ended, and there was no one around. Ding Meng stood alone by the pool.
He was waiting for someone, and the person he was waiting for did not disappoint him. A black shadow floated out like a ghost from behind a parasol tree not far away. The black shadow had a graceful figure, and it was indeed Xu Mengqing's bodyguard named Hong Ye.
Before Hong Ye could even activate her Origin Energy, Ding Meng spoke first. "Lead the way!"
Hong Ye was stunned. Sheng Tianming seemed to have eyes on the back of his head. She had been discovered.
"Lead the way?" Hong Yue asked coldly.
Ding Meng said lightly, "Take me to Miss Xu."
Hong Ye sneered. "In your dreams!"
Ding Meng sighed. "Since you don't want to lead the way, I'll have to go by myself."
Hong Ye's trip was not ordered by Xu Mengqing, but Xu Mengqing had acquiesced. Her purpose was to teach Sheng Tianming a lesson so that he would retreat and leave Blue Pole Star City on his own accord.
Hong Ye didn't even want to make a move. For an ordinary person like Sheng Tianming, she could just throw her Origin Energy over and knock him out. In fact, she had done the same. However, the moment she activated her Origin Energy a little, her vision went black, and then she lost consciousness.
Ding Meng slowly turned around and looked disdainfully at Hong Ye, who had fallen unconscious on the ground. This kind of warlord was no threat to him at all. He just threw a Terminator Spell over and directly froze her consciousness.
Along the quiet parasol tree path, Ding Meng soon came to a small villa in a quiet forest. With a slight effort of his eyes, the door of the villa opened.
He did not enter the house, but he had already scanned the situation inside. Xu Mengqing seemed to have just finished showering and had changed into a low-necked silk robe. She was sitting on the sofa and tasting red wine.
As soon as the door opened, her male bodyguard immediately sensed it and asked in a deep voice, "Xiao Ye?"
Ding Meng walked directly into the hall on the first floor. "I thought Miss Xu would invite me over politely. I didn't expect you to be so arrogant and ask me to come here myself. I don't remember you being like this before..."
Hearing this magnetic voice, Xu Mengqing and the male bodyguard were both shocked. However, the male bodyguard was still a professional, so he reacted quickly. He suddenly jumped up from his seat and pounced on Ding Meng like an eagle catching a chick.
Ding Meng waved his hand casually, and all the swift and fierce attacks immediately disappeared. The male bodyguard, like Hongye, quickly fell from the sky and fainted on the ground.
Only then did Xu Mengqing reveal a horrified expression. Although she was just a non-combat type origin ability user, this didn't mean that she didn't understand the level of combat type origin ability users. Her two bodyguards were warlords sent by the headquarters. This male bodyguard's strength was above Hong Ye's, yet he couldn't even get close to the opponent. This Sheng Tianming was actually a hidden expert.
And the key point was what method Sheng Tianming used. She had never seen it before, and the male bodyguard probably hadn't seen it himself either.
However, Xu Mengqing's expression was still very calm. "Mr. Sheng, it doesn't seem appropriate for you to make a move here, right?"
Ding Meng sat down on the opposite side of the sofa and slowly poured himself a glass of red wine. "Do you know that on planet KV303, those people can't even drink such a small glass of limited edition Jazz brand red wine even if they work hard for their entire lives?"
Xu Mengqing stared at him and calmly said, "You're not one of Sheng Hao's people. You're one of Green Arrow's people."
Ding Meng lifted the wine glass and took a small sip. "And then?
You think that with Xing Hong Group's strength, ten thousand Green Arrow Corps can't do anything to it?
Is that what you think? "
She did think so. She was sure that Ding Meng wouldn't make a big move here, and she also knew that no matter how strong Green Arrow's people were, they wouldn't dare to go against Xing Hong Group.
Ding Meng suddenly smiled. "You guessed right. Green Arrow Corps can't do anything to Xing Hong Group, but I have many ways to deal with you. You better cooperate."
Xu Mengqing shrank back and looked a little nervous. "What do you want?"
Ding Meng gently waved his hand, and the wristband on the coffee table automatically flew into his hand. "I didn't kill you because of Fang Zhenghao's relationship with you."
This person was indeed here for Fang Zhenghao. Xu Mengqing felt relieved. "Who are you?"
Ding Meng said sternly, "My patience is limited. Don't beat around the bush. How did Fang Zhenghao die?"
Xu Mengqing refused to answer.
Ding Meng sneered and turned on the wristband. "I have plenty of ways to make you talk."
After that, he exerted a little force with his eyes, and the silk bathrobe on Xu Mengqing's body was torn into two halves by his telekinesis. Her white jade-like body was immediately exposed under the pale yellow light. The places that should be exposed and should not be exposed were all exposed. It had to be said that the celebrity's skin was really well maintained. The white luster made people have the urge to touch it.
Xu Mengqing let out a cry of surprise, and then she hugged her chest tightly. She was so scared that she immediately curled up in a corner of the sofa. Her pair of jade legs made people unable to move their eyes away. Her action seemed to be fearful, but in fact, it was full of indescribable temptation.
However, Ding Meng looked at her as if he was looking at a piece of wood. He sneered and said, "You can keep being stubborn. Tomorrow morning, a video of a big star naked on the international space network will be leaked. I'm afraid the whole Federation will be shocked."
Xu Mengqing finally showed a look of horror. This was what she was most afraid of. She worked hard in this circle and climbed up the ladder at all costs, hoping to become a star in the eyes of everyone. However, if such a video was leaked, she would immediately lose her reputation, and the reputation of the Starbow Group would be damaged. Ding Meng really hit her soft spot.
Seeing Ding Meng raise his wristband, Xu Mengqing shouted, "Wait a minute."
Ding Meng said coldly, "I'll only give you this one chance. There won't be a next time."
Xu Mengqing said timidly, "Can you let me change my clothes?"
There were only two words in response. "No!"
Xu Mengqing was helpless. She had already seen that Sheng Tianming was not an easy person to talk to.
"Song Chen ordered someone to do it." Xu Mengqing gritted her teeth and answered.
Ding Meng said, "Ling Xingwen's cousin?"
"Yes!" Xu Mengqing took a deep breath. "At the same time, he is also the boss of Starbow Entertainment."
Ding Meng said, "It is said that you are his lover?"
"No!" Xu Mengqing clenched her teeth even tighter.
Ding Meng was a little surprised. "Oh?"
Xu Mengqing's eyes were filled with resentment. "I'm just one of his many women's playthings. When I joined Starry Rainbow Entertainment, I was targeted by him. You should understand that I can't resist …"
"I'm not interested in your stupid business." Ding Meng interrupted her coldly. "Why does Song Chen want to deal with Fang Zhenghao?"
Xu Mengqing sighed helplessly. "Zhenghao and I were lovers when we were classmates. After graduation, he insisted on going to Green Arrow, and I joined Starbow. Seven years ago, after Ding Meng's death, the higher-ups of Starbow didn't do anything to help Green Arrow. Zhenghao came to me, and he hoped that I could plead with Miss Ling."
Ding Meng said, "So you rekindled your old flame?"
Xu Mengqing sighed faintly. "Although I used to look down on him, he was my first man after all. I was rotten to the core, but he never abandoned me. I also promised him that after he settled Green Arrow, he would resign from his position as the regiment commander and accompany me to the Empire to start a new life."
"So, it seems like you guys are eloping."
Ding Meng pondered and said, "If there's no special reason to migrate from the Federation to the Empire, it's theoretically impossible. Moreover, you're an entertainment star of the Federation. Without special channels, you can't get there."
Xu Mengqing said, "Zhenghao has such channels. He has a friend called Bai Qingli, who is in the same generation as Bai Qingyun. He's ranked fourth. With the power of the Bai family, it's naturally possible."
Ding Meng was speechless. Once this woman was blinded by love, she was so naive that she was retarded. Bai Qingyun's brother was Bai Qingli. How could Song Chen, an executive of Starbow Entertainment, not know that Xu Mengqing and Fang Zhenghao wanted to run away?
Ding Meng said, "So, Bai Qingli betrayed Fang Zhenghao?"
Xu Mengqing gritted her teeth and said, "He suggested to Zhenghao that before leaving the Federation, it's best to get something called the Phantom Tree. That thing can change our appearances …"
As soon as she mentioned the Phantom Tree, Ding Meng immediately understood Bai Qingli's train of thought. This guy wanted Fang Zhenghao to get the Thousand Shadow Foil because it could change a person's appearance. This way, when Fang Zhenghao and Xu Mengqing arrived at the Empire, they would have a brand new identity and could indeed start a new life.
However, with Fang Zhenghao's strength, going to the Zlatu Star Field to look for the Thousand Shadow Foil was simply suicide. Moreover, the Thousand Shadow Foil itself contained the Devouring World's poison. Even if he could find it, he would only die faster.
Ding Meng could completely imagine how vicious this move was. Fang Zhenghao probably thought that his friend was thinking for him. Little did he know that he would die in the Zlatu Star Field before Song Chen and Bai Qingli did anything.
Ding Meng said quietly, "I understand. This is killing with a borrowed knife."
Xu Mengqing's eyes suddenly turned red. "When I found out about this, Zhenghao had already been dead for two months. If it wasn't for Meng Yan of the Dragonslaying Corps releasing the news, we wouldn't have known that he had died in the Devouring World. He's really pitiful …"
Ding Meng frowned and said, "How did the Dragonslaying Corps know about this?"
Xu Mengqing said, "Meng Yan is well-informed in outer space. She usually knows about major events. Moreover, Meng Yan used to be Ding Meng's subordinate. Ding Meng used to be very close to Zhenghao, so she definitely wouldn't hide this from Green Arrow."
Ding Meng sighed secretly. He did not expect there to be so many secrets behind this matter. "So Green Arrow sent people to look for the body?"
The hatred in Xu Mengqing's eyes burned even brighter. "Gulaga and Silman went personally. When they found the body, the soul had already dissipated. Song Chen also threatened me. If I dared to leave him, he would make my life worse than death. He would not let anyone, including my family and friends, go."
"Heh, even more arrogant than me." Ding Meng could not help but sneer. "What's up with Gulaga and Silman?"
