Chapter 2963: Chapter 2964: Firearms Society

With his upper body bare, Meng Yi wielded a large iron hammer, striking forcefully at a piece of pitch-black refined iron.

As the clangs resonated, countless sparks flew off the refined iron, gradually taking shape.

Yingu stood nearby, responsible for directing the process.

"Alright, now switch to the small hammer and hit it 36,000 more times!"

Upon hearing this, Meng Yi’s eyes widened, and he wiped the sweat off his forehead, panting, "Yin... Yingu, I can’t take it anymore, can... can I rest for a bit? If I keep this up, I’m afraid I’ll collapse from exhaustion!"

Yingu frowned, "You can’t handle it after just a few hits? You’re really not a man!"

Blushing, Meng Yi dared not retort, knowing he was at fault initially, he could only smile sheepishly.

"Of course I’m a man, but even the strongest man needs to rest!"

"Alright, alright, then take a quick break! Stop with all the nonsense!" Yingu replied irritably, then turned to the workbench to organize the past few days’ achievements.

The day Yingu failed to snipe Wu Nianyin, her entire drone swarm was destroyed by Xue An.

This was a devastating blow to Yingu, who had made a name relying on her drones.

That’s why she’s been so anxious these days, eager to restore her strength.

But while she was anxious, Meng Yi was reaching his limit.

For days, Meng Yi felt like a donkey turning a millstone, unable to rest for a moment, busy with one task after another, running circles under Yingu’s command.

Yet he dared not disobey, since it was truly his own misdeed.

Now, upon obtaining Yingu’s permission, he felt like pardoned from a death penalty, collapsing to the ground without regard for appearance, gasping heavily and unwilling to move a single finger.

Yingu mumbled, "What a waste!"

Then picked up the small hammer beside her and started striking herself.

Though Meng Yi’s face turned dark from being scolded, he lacked the strength to argue, wishing only to sleep deeply.

Just then, the door of the small workshop was pushed open, and Chen Shichun walked in from outside, with a somewhat serious expression on his face.

"What’s wrong?" Yingu asked absentmindedly while hammering the iron billet.

"The Second Miss hasn’t returned yet!"

"Isn’t that normal? Going back and forth from here to the Wu Family should take a few days, right?" Yingu said.

Chen Shichun shook his head, "That’s for us, but don’t forget, the Second Miss possesses various secret techniques. With her speed, she should have reached the Wu Family long ago, so I’ve had a bad premonition all along!"

"Oh? What premonition?" Yingu’s hammering finally slowed down.

Though Meng Yi had no strength to speak, his intense gaze said it all.

"I just feel that the Second Miss might be defeated this time!" Chen Shichun said worriedly.

"If she loses, Wei’s plans fall apart. Then not only will our unauthorized actions be exposed, but it might escalate uncontrollably, ending disastrously!"

Yingu’s expression finally grew serious as she stopped hammering, "Why do you think so?"

"There’s no reason, just a premonition! But you know, my premonitions often foresee the worst coming true!"

Yingu and Meng Yi both fell silent.

Because Chen Shichun spoke the truth; her previous mysterious premonitions always proved to be bad omens.

"It... it can’t be that accurate, right?" Meng Yi swallowed and said with difficulty.

No sooner had he spoken than they heard an angry bellow outside.

"Wei Qingfeng, get out here!"

The shout shook the three in the workshop, and Meng Yi, who was sitting on the ground, leapt up as if on springs.

The three exchanged glances, seeing their pale faces reflected in each other’s eyes.

They all knew.

It’s over!

Wei Qingfeng was just inside savoring fine tea.

This was a new variety cultivated by the Firearms Society not long ago.

That’s right!

Besides undertaking assignments involving killings and arson for commissions, the Firearms Society dabblingly operated a tea plantation and excelled at it.

Indeed, the very pot of tea he was brewing could be hailed as exquisite.

That rich tea fragrance and clear tea color were absolutely captivating to Wei Qingfeng.

But just as the tea was brewed and before he could taste it, the loud shout from outside startled him into dropping the teacup.

Crash!

The delicate porcelain shattered on the ground, along with Wei Qingfeng’s courage.

"Sec... Second Miss, why are you back?"

He stood up in a panic, watching as the formidable Yang Mufeng stormed in.

"Nonsense, where else would I go if not back? I’m here to tell you that our previous terms are void!"

With that, Yang Mufeng turned to leave.

Cold sweat trickled down Wei Qingfeng’s brow.

He truly didn’t understand what this Second Miss Yang Mufeng was up to, but letting her leave like this might spell his doom.

Thus he quickened his steps to block Yang Mufeng’s path directly.

"Second Miss, please wait, what do you mean by what you just said? I’m truly confused!"

"What do I mean? I’m telling you that the previously promised compensation is no longer necessary!" Yang Mufeng said indifferently.

"Wha... why?" Wei Qingfeng felt no relief, only a chill throughout his body.

"Why? Because the guy you mentioned not only defeated you but almost defeated me as well!"

"Such an opponent is beyond your capability to handle, so I retract my previous demand for compensation!"

After saying this, Yang Mufeng disregarded Wei Qingfeng’s reaction and left.

Wei Qingfeng stood in place, pale-faced, mumbling.

"How is it possible? How could Second Miss also be defeated?"

Meanwhile, Chen Shichun, Meng Yi, and Yingu had also arrived.

Seeing Wei Qingfeng’s state, the three immediately knew everything had unfolded just as Chen Shichun predicted.

"Chief Wei, what should we do next?" Chen Shichun asked solemnly.

"What else can we do? It seems this matter can no longer be concealed. Next, I will personally explain this to the president, and as for how he’ll deal with it, we can only leave it to fate!" Wei Qingfeng answered dispiritedly.

At the same time, Yang Mufeng had already returned to her own territory.

The so-called territory was actually just a large suite of cabins.

Upon returning, Yang Mufeng’s first action was to lock herself in a chamber, strictly ordering her subordinates that unless she permitted it, no one was allowed to enter, as she intended to seclude herself to study a perplexing issue.

Her subordinates naturally dared not slack off, promptly nodding in agreement.

Yang Mufeng then shut the chamber door, took out the Metal Cube, and began to study it.

Simultaneously, inside the greenhouse of the Firearms Society, Wei Qingfeng met with the president, Yang Fu.
