Chapter 306: Waiting for Good News
Chapter 306: Waiting for Good News
"If it's not a blessing, it's a disaster that can't be avoided."
Seeing the name displayed on the phone screen, Yang Chun sighed.
After learning that Jiang Cheng had escaped from the Dawn Society, he had anticipated this situation.
After all, the Dawn Society doesn't sit idly by; their informants in the Outer District are no less than those in the Slum District, and they're even several streets ahead of them.
Yang Chun slowly inhaled, and a gentle smile reappeared on his face as he answered the call.
"Hello?"
"Brother Yang, it's me, Hong Bin."
On the other end of the line, Bing Li's face was also filled with a smile.
"Brother, do you still remember me?"
"Brother Hong, you're too polite. How could I possibly forget you?"
Yang Chun hurriedly replied.
In terms of age, he was indeed a few years older than the other party, so calling him 'younger brother' was only natural.
In terms of strength, besides being a Seventh Rank Force Knight, he was also a Sixth Rank Psychic, and without considering other external factors, he was indeed stronger than the latter.
"Hahaha, it's good that you remember, it's good that you remember."
Bing Li laughed heartily.
"Brother, I don't know if you're free for lunch today? It's been almost half a year since we last met, and I'd like to treat you to a meal to strengthen our bond. I hope you can give me this face?"
As a cunning fox himself, Yang Chun couldn't possibly be unaware of the other's true intentions.
He immediately exclaimed, "Brother Hong, it's really unfortunate. In just a few days, it will be the beginning of the month, and you know what that day means. As the person in charge, I really can't get away. So, I'll accept your kindness, and the next time I'm free, I'll treat you to a meal to apologize."
Bing Li's smile froze slightly.
"Brother, is it really that you can't even spare the time for a lunch?"
"I'm truly sorry."
Yang Chun still didn't change his tone.
"Alright then."
Bing Li sighed and said helplessly, "To be honest, I invited you to this meal not only to strengthen our bond but also because I have a small matter that I'd like to ask Brother Yang for help."
"Oh? What is it? Brother, please don't hesitate to ask. If it's something I can help with, I'll definitely do it without hesitation."
Yang Chun hurriedly replied.
"It's like this."
Bing Li immediately poured out the whole story like beans from a bamboo tube.
"Brother Yang, we searched many places, but we didn't find his figure anywhere. It wasn't until we heard someone say that he had entered the Dinghu Neighborhood with his family."
"Is that so?"
Yang Chun's tone was filled with surprise.
"Brother Yang, you didn't know?"
Bing Li also feigning surprise.
He was a hundred percent certain that Jiang Cheng was in the Dinghu Neighborhood!
As the deputy director of the black market in the Outer District, how could he not know about this?
"Brother Hong, in the past week, I've recruited one or two new members, but as you said, the informant might have made a mistake?" Yang Chun laughed.
"Huh? That's strange. The person who provided us with this information is the guard of the Dinghu Neighborhood, and not just one, but two of them. They said they saw a young man with three women enter the neighborhood a few nights ago?"
Upon hearing this, Yang Chun's expression changed.
He couldn't wait to get rid of the traitor who leaked the information.
But he also knew that such things were hard to avoid, as human hearts are fickle, especially when faced with personal gain.
Bing Li chuckled.
He didn't care about the lives of those two, after all, the money had already been paid.
"Brother Hong, what you did wasn't quite right." Yang Chun frowned.
"Brother, don't misunderstand."
Bing Li had already prepared for this and quickly explained, "It wasn't us who approached them, but we spread the news, and they took the initiative to find us after hearing it. Actually, Brother Yang, these are all trivial matters.
We, the Dawn Society, have coexisted peacefully with the Black Market for many years, like separate waters that don't cross paths. But now, there's a traitor who has betrayed us and hidden in the Black Market. I know, Brother Yang, that you were deceived, which is why you took him in.
But now, after hearing me out, I'm sure you'll do me a favor and hand this person over, won't you? If you do this, I'll owe you a favor. If you ever need my help in the future, just ask, and I'll do my best."
Yang Chun listened silently to these words.
To be honest, if I hadn't seen Jiang Cheng's potential, I might have been tempted.
After all, on one side is a newcomer to the Black Market, who, despite having great talent in martial arts and a high probability of becoming a Grandmaster, still needs time to grow.
The fact that Jiang Cheng hasn't been discovered by Bing Li makes it a bit tricky. Not to mention, Bing Li also promised a favor in return.
But now, having witnessed Jiang Cheng's potential, a Third-Rank Alchemist is enough to make up his mind and take the risk of offending the Dawn Society to take him in.
Moreover, the latter achieved the Third-Rank in less than a week, starting from scratch. Such talent is rare, even in the Inner City's Black Market. So, his achievements won't stop here.
How could he possibly hand over such a person? Of course, he couldn't say this aloud.
Yang Chun smiled and said, "Brother Hong, I understand your intention. Give me some time, and I'll investigate. If this person exists, I'll tie him and his family up and hand them over to you."
"Great!"
Bing Li was overjoyed.
"Brother, you're as generous as ever. I'll wait for your news."
"It's fine, it's fine. Whether we find him or not, I'll give you a call either way."
"Okay, okay."
After a few more pleasantries, Bing Li happily hung up the phone.
The three people beside him also smiled.
"I knew the Black Market would cooperate with us."
"Yes, the Outer District is so small, and we all know each other's business. Plus, we've never had any conflicts with them. They'll definitely help with this small favor."
"Hmph, Jiang Cheng thinks he can find a way out? He knows nothing about us."
"Indeed."
Bing Li's eyes shone with pride.
He could already imagine the look of shock, helplessness, and despair on Jiang Cheng's face when the Black Market delivered him.
"Just wait."
He smiled at the three of them and said, "If it's fast, we might have a reply within half an hour. If not, it won't take too long."
The other three nodded repeatedly.
However, what they didn't expect in their wildest dreams was that after Yang Chun hung up the phone, he immediately called Jiang Cheng.
