Wang Hai City, being one of the most economically developed cities in Longguo, already had a dense population.
However, it was only when Ye Fei arrived here that he truly understood what "crowded" meant.
Even a relatively quiet side street was packed with people, shoulder to shoulder.
The main thoroughfares were even worse, filled to the brim with all sorts of vehicles, as if to flaunt to the world just how many cars Longguo had. Traffic was at a standstill, and driving was slower than walking.
Apart from the congestion, Ye Fei’s second impression of the capital was one of filth and disorder. The more prominent streets were somewhat better, but the small alleys where Ye Fei found himself were like garbage dumps, littered with all kinds of trash.
Even if someone cleaned up, it seemed futile. Moreover, the air quality here was exceptionally poor.
Seeing all this, Ye Fei couldn’t help but wonder why Xiao Fei, that young lady, looked down on people outside the capital.
Even a small city would likely have a better living environment than this place. It was hard to imagine how anyone could be proud of living in a city where movement was nearly impossible, and one had to wear a mask just to go outside.
After struggling to leave the narrow street, Ye Fei sat down in a cold drink shop that seemed to have a decent environment and let out a long sigh.
He somewhat regretted letting the taxi driver bring him here. He had originally planned to buy some souvenirs for Liu Yiru and the others, but now he had lost all interest in shopping.
He ordered a cold drink and stayed in the shop until it was completely dark outside, using it as a temporary refuge from the chaos.
Although it was already evening, the streets were still filled with people and vehicles. But this no longer posed a problem for Ye Fei.
He walked to a secluded corner, leaped onto the branch of a tree by the roadside, and sprinted along the treetops. Since he was running above the streetlights, people below couldn’t see him. Moreover, his speed was so fast that even if someone did catch a glimpse, they would likely dismiss it as a trick of the eye.
Following the address provided by Zhang Linxin, Ye Fei quickly arrived at her residence in the capital. Although it was his first time here, Ye Fei’s memory was astonishing. He had already memorized the entire map of the capital while on the way.
Even someone who had lived here for decades probably didn’t know the streets as well as he did.
Quietly lurking on the balcony of the small apartment, Ye Fei closed his eyes and entered a special state.
Soon, he "saw" a middle-aged man sitting in the living room, smoking and watching the news. Although he had never met this person, Ye Fei knew without a doubt that this was Xiao Hai, the man who intended to harm Liu Fengyi in order to control Wang Hai City.
Although Xiao Hai was a despicable character, it had to be admitted that he looked quite refined and handsome. While he was far from Ye Fei’s level, he was still a good-looking man.
Ye Fei sat on the balcony "watching" for a long time, but Xiao Hai showed no signs of movement.
Suddenly, Ye Fei realized a problem: if Xiao Hai had a beautiful wife like Zhang Linxin but hadn’t touched her for over a decade, was it possible that he was already impotent?
If so, how could Ye Fei find any issues with his conduct?
As for the person behind Xiao Hai, Ye Fei had never even considered looking into it. Although he could enter that place without alerting anyone, how could someone living in such a place dare to misbehave?
Thinking of this, Ye Fei couldn’t help but let out a bitter smile. His original plan had been too simplistic. He had wanted to use the same method to deal with them but hadn’t considered the objective circumstances. It seemed that his plan would have to be changed.
Having made up his mind, Ye Fei prepared to leave. He thought about coming back in the middle of the night, quietly entering Xiao Hai’s room to see if he could find any evidence of corruption.
After all, someone like Xiao Hai couldn’t possibly be without any blemishes. However, this approach would likely fail to bring down the person behind him, who had already entered the sequence and couldn’t be taken down by mere corruption charges.
Unexpectedly, just as Ye Fei was about to leave with a sense of helplessness, the phone in Xiao Hai’s house suddenly rang.

The word "godfather" that Xiao Hai uttered upon answering the call immediately caught Ye Fei’s attention. He had been worried about finding their weak points, and now an opportunity had presented itself.
Once again, he focused and entered that special state, directing his attention to the living room.
In an instant, every word of the conversation between the two men over the phone was clearly heard by him.
These two individuals, perhaps having received a call from Zhang Linxin and knowing the situation in Wang Hai City, were very excited in their conversation.
After all, Wang Hai City could be considered the economic center of Longguo. Controlling it would be an incredibly advantageous move for anyone.
Ye Fei recorded the entire conversation using a special recording device. However, a single conversation alone would hardly make a significant impact. For now, he could only hope that the two men would reveal something more substantial.
Fortune seemed to be on Ye Fei’s side once again.
After discussing the main matters, Xiao Hai and the other party did not hang up but continued chatting. The content of their conversation, however, made Ye Fei’s skin crawl. He also understood why Xiao Hai would forsake a good wife like Zhang Linxin.
It wasn’t because he was impotent, but because he was, in fact, homosexual, and the other party was his "godfather."
This discovery excited Ye Fei. If he could record their "rendezvous" and release it online, controlling the websites to keep it up for a few dozen hours, he could already imagine the sensational impact it would have. He quickly composed himself and listened quietly.
"Ugh—" After hearing just a few sentences, Ye Fei almost vomited.
When Ye Yunqi and the others acted coquettish with him, he found it quite enjoyable.
But he never expected that men could also act so coquettish, and it was incredibly disgusting. He immediately stopped listening, withdrew his spiritual perception, and simply recorded their conversation with the special device.
After a long while, Ye Fei dared to use his spiritual perception again and found that Xiao Hai’s call had ended. He left the place without further delay, quietly slipping away from the spot that had so profoundly disturbed his spirit.
After leaving Xiao Hai’s residence, Ye Fei entered a nightclub nearby. It wasn’t because he couldn’t do without women or wanted to indulge; he was looking for a quiet place to figure out what those two men had discussed over the phone.
He rented a private room and declined the manager’s offer to send in a "chat companion" lady. After locking the door, he called Baldy and first inquired about the situation in Linhai. Then, he said very seriously, "Baldy, I have a significant task for you!"
"Boss, what do you command?" Since everything had been going smoothly in Linhai, Baldy was particularly relaxed when speaking with Ye Fei. Hearing his serious tone, he thought Ye Fei might have a new target for him and became somewhat nervous.
Ye Fei first turned on the music in the room and then activated the playback function of the recording device, saying, "Listen to this conversation, and I’ll have something to say afterward. Remember, you must listen to every word!"
After getting Baldy’s assurance, he placed the phone next to the recording device and put on his headphones to listen to music.
About ten minutes later, when the recording had finished playing, Ye Fei turned off the music, picked up his phone again, and asked, "Baldy, what did they say?"
However, there was no sound from the other end of the line. Ye Fei looked at his phone in confusion. It was clearly connected, so could it be a bad signal?
