Chapter 293: The Relentless Pursuit!
Chapter 293: The Relentless Pursuit!
In less than half an hour, a series of knocks sounded outside the house.
Jiang Cheng gave a reassuring glance to the three inside and walked over to open the door.
Standing outside was none other than Manager Li from the black market.
However, this time, there were two additional people behind him.
Upon seeing Jiang Cheng, Manager Li's eyes revealed a hint of surprise, followed by a more cheerful expression, as he eagerly extended his hand.
"Welcome, I assure you, you won't regret this decision."
"Mhm, I hope our cooperation goes well."
Jiang Cheng also smiled.
After ending his contact with the Resistance Army, he immediately called Manager Li.
Now that he had made up his mind, it was best to leave this place as soon as possible.
Otherwise, once Bing Li received the news, it would become difficult.
"Little brother, have you packed your things? It's okay if you haven't, we can wait a bit longer."
Manager Li said with a smile.
"We're packed and ready to go at any time."
"Good, then let's not delay. We should set off now."
Jiang Cheng turned to look at his family, feeling a twinge of guilt in his heart.
He didn't want his family to endure the constant traveling, but he had no other choice.
All he could do was give his all to ensure their safety.
Before leaving, Jiang Cheng took one last look at the slightly messy room, placed the keys on the table, and resolutely closed the door.
Soon, two cars, one in front of the other, drove out of the residential area.
In the car behind, Aunt Chen and the other two women looked tense and anxious.
They clearly remembered that the man who had brought them here wasn't the one from earlier.
Jiang Cheng, through the rearview mirror above his head, saw this scene and spoke to reassure them, "Grandma, Aunt Chen, Xiao Yue, don't worry. I'll take you to a safe place soon, also in the outer district. We'll be there shortly."
Hearing this, the three women felt slightly more at ease.
But the worry in their eyes remained, lingering...
An hour later, Bing Li, at the Dawn Society headquarters, received a summary of reports from his informants on Pingxi Street.
A middle-aged man carrying a sword suddenly appeared on Pingxi Street, first killing five members of the Dragonstride Martial Arts Academy, then proceeding to the Falcon Martial Arts Academy, where he killed the head, a Fifth Rank Force Samurai. Not stopping there, he also killed members of the Iron Fist Gang on the street, and even went as far as to slaughter gang members from nearby streets, including the gang leader himself.
Other nearby gangs were terrified, fleeing at the mere mention of the incident, fearing they might be next on the list, their hearts filled with dread.
Of course, ordinary people cheered, and some even dared to parade the corpses of the slain through the streets.
This incident was truly shocking, and it was unlikely that any gang would dare to venture into these streets for a while.
As Bing Li read the report, his eyebrows gradually furrowed.
This style of action... who does it remind me of?
Indeed, it was Cang Hai!
Before recruiting him, he had a record of slaughtering members of the Wild Wolf Gang in broad daylight.
This time, in the light of day, members of the Iron Fist Gang were also ruthlessly killed.
While the style of action was similar, when did Cang Hai become this powerful?
Within the Iron Fist Gang, there were still one or two Third Rank Force Samurai, and quite a few Second and First Rank members. Together, they could easily make up ten, which wasn't a significant challenge.
If it was his marksmanship that accomplished this, it would be impressive.
But these people were all killed by a blade.
The weapon he used was a short staff, when did he secretly learn to wield a blade?
Even if he had hidden his true abilities, how could he kill a Fifth Rank Force Samurai like the head of the Falcon Martial Arts Academy?
Ice Li's frown deepened as he considered the situation.
A normal person wouldn't think this incident had anything to do with Cang Hai.
But the more he thought about it, the more he felt something was amiss.
"Could it be that he's been hiding his strength all this time?"
This thought suddenly popped into his mind.
On the surface, he's a Second-Level Force Warrior.
But in reality, is he a Fifth, Sixth, or even a Seventh-Level Force Warrior? Yet, he felt this idea was absurd.
Who could advance from the First Level to the Sixth or Seventh Level in just three months? Even the Primordial Energy Masters from a hundred years ago didn't have such astonishing cultivation speed.
Or was his original strength truly that formidable? But this made even less sense.
If he was originally a mid-to-high-level Force Warrior, why would he be forced into a desperate situation by a small Wild Wolf Gang, having to send his family to the Outer District? The same was true for the Iron Fist Gang later on.
"Where did things go wrong?"
Ice Li racked his brains.
He couldn't figure out the reason.
Suddenly, a flash of inspiration struck him.
Instead of agonizing here, why not call the person directly and ask? That way, he'd know everything.
Once he got there, he had a hundred ways to make him reveal the truth.
If it was a mistake, then he'd offer some compensation.
But if it was indeed his doing...
Ice Li's eyes flashed with murderous intent.
He despised nothing more than people who didn't follow orders! Of course, there was also a possibility that when he called, the other party would refuse to come no matter what.
In that case, it was clear they had a guilty conscience.
With this thought, Ice Li immediately picked up the phone beside him and dialed Jiang Cheng's number.
In the spacious bedroom, the phone rang.
It rang for almost a minute, then the sound subsided, but after a few seconds, it rang again.
This repeated two or three times, and Ice Li, located at the headquarters, had a face as dark as if it would drip water.
He hadn't expected the other party to ignore his call!
"Good, good one, Cang Hai."
Beneath Ice Li's seemingly calm exterior, rage burned fiercely.
Since he couldn't reach the other party, he would personally lead people there.
He wanted to see how the other party would explain themselves!
Soon, he arrived with a few people at the residential area where Jiang Cheng lived. They marched straight to the door.
"Knock, knock, knock, knock."
One person knocked on the door.
No response.
They knocked a few more times.
Still no answer.
The group's gaze turned to Ice Li.
He frowned, his patience reaching its limit.
He lifted his foot and kicked the door open.
Seeing the scene before them, the group was a bit surprised.
"Ice Li, we're a step too late. The person has escaped."
"The departure was hasty, clearly indicating a guilty conscience."
"Cunning! Even if the incident on Pingxi Street wasn't his doing, he's still implicated!"
"Escape?"
Ice Li coldly smiled, "With three burdens, where can he escape to? No one has ever managed to leave the Dawn Society alive. I'll immediately issue a special notice within the society, and everyone will search with all their might, regardless of life or death!"
