Chapter 354: Citywide Manhunt
Chapter 354: Citywide Manhunt
November 5th, 2024
After saying those words, Wang Tong expected Jiang Cheng to stop in his tracks, and perhaps, under his warning, he would ultimately change his mind.
However, the latter seemed not to have heard him at all, continuing to walk forward as if nothing had happened, even when Yang Chun tried to stop him. Soon, Yang Chun also disappeared from sight.
At this moment, even with his deep composure, he couldn't suppress the anger in his heart.
What a Jiang Cheng!
As the Director of the Law Enforcement Bureau, he had lowered himself to such an extent, even offering an S-level psychic weapon to win him over.
And what was the result?
The other party didn't even give him a second glance!
This was simply outrageous!!!
"Uncle Wang, you shouldn't take him seriously. He's just like this. You can keep this psychic weapon, and I'll pass it on to him later. I believe Jiang Cheng will accept it, and he'll be grateful to you, Uncle Wang," Gu Changkong quickly tried to defuse the situation.
Unless absolutely necessary, he didn't want to fall out with Wang Tong.
If possible, he even wanted Jiang Cheng to get along with Wang Tong and proactively adapt to the environment, rather than letting the environment adapt to him.
This was also the reason he insisted on bringing Jiang Cheng here, but the latter was still too immature.
"Is that so?"
Wang Tong turned around and looked at Gu Changkong.
"Changkong, I remember your Gu family only focuses on business and doesn't get involved in others' affairs, right?"
"Yes."
Gu Changkong nodded.
"Then what happened with Xie Tian's death?"
Wang Tong stared at him intently.
"What do you mean by that, Uncle Wang?"
Gu Changkong was surprised and said, "I've also heard about this matter. You don't think that Xie Tian and his disciples were killed by us, do you?"
"Isn't that the case?"
Wang Tong lowered his voice, as if suppressing his anger.
"Don't think I don't know that the young man had a grudge with Xie Tian and almost died at his hands. It's just that his strength wasn't enough. Now that he's joined your group and performed well, you're helping him with this matter to make him more loyal, right? It's not a big deal for you."
Hearing this, Gu Changkong sighed, "Uncle Wang, what are you saying? Even if Jiang Cheng is powerful, we wouldn't help him with such a thing. It would be self-destructive."
"So, he did it himself?"
"Uncle Wang, you're joking."
Gu Changkong shook his head.
"After Jiang Cheng joined us, he has been diligently refining pills. During this time, the Dawn Society has been relentless, constantly sending assassins to kill him. He's been hiding and barely keeping himself safe. How could he possibly be the one behind Xie Tian's death, especially considering his strength isn't even a match for Xie Tian's."
"Is that so?"
Wang Tong naturally didn't believe Gu Changkong's explanation.
But he also knew that pressing further wouldn't yield any useful information.
"Changkong, let me give you some advice. It's best if you keep an eye on that kid and don't let him take a step outside. Otherwise, who knows what might happen."
"Thank you for the reminder, I will."
Wang Tong glanced at the departing Jiang Cheng and let out a cold snort before turning to leave.
After the two left, Gu Changkong sighed deeply.
Even a fool would know that angering Wang Tong would lead to consequences. At most, out of respect for the Gu family, he wouldn't dare to come in and arrest anyone, but outside, it was hard to say.
"That's fine."
He thought to himself.
He originally didn't agree with Jiang Cheng going out. After all, the members of the Dawn Society might be lurking outside, and it was too risky. Instead, staying here to refine pills would be better. In the future, once he entered the Inner District, he would also bring the latter in, forming his own team.
There shouldn't be much interaction with Wang Tong after this.
Wang Tong got into his car in a fit of rage. Only after leaving the Dinghu Neighborhood did he finally lose his temper and curse.
"Damn, that guy who refused my offer really thinks he's someone important?"
"This kid is indeed ungrateful."
Liu Jingshan, who was driving, chimed in, "Relying on the protection of the Black Market, he acts as if he's above everyone else."
"So what?"
Wang Tong sneered.
"Since he's making me unhappy, I'll make him suffer too. After I get back, I'll tell the other directors and issue a city-wide wanted notice, revealing everything he's done. Not only that, but I'll also have people keep an eye on this place. If he has the nerve, let him never leave here again!"
In fact, if they wanted to arrest someone, they didn't need any evidence.
As long as they wanted to, they could.
But if the person had a powerful backer, it wouldn't be that simple.
...
Within a day, Jiang Cheng's wanted notice was plastered all over the streets.
It was filled with various crimes, making him seem extremely dangerous.
The happiest to hear this news were Bing Li and his companion.
The two of them held a wanted notice, reading through the list of crimes, laughing heartily.
"Bing Li, this method really works! Wang Tong is really starting to go after that guy. It's a pity; if he had just brought people in and arrested him, it would have been better," the man beside him said with a regretful expression.
"He's not that stupid."
Bing Li said, "He won't risk offending the Gu Family just for a suspect. But this is enough to give that kid a hard time. I heard that for the past two days, there have been experts from the Law Enforcement Bureau keeping a close watch. If that kid dares to come out, he'll only find a dead end."
"Right, the only people who get city-wide warrants are usually from the Resistance Army. If he's smart, he'll stay inside. This way, we'll be safer too."
The man let out a sigh of relief.
Hearing this, Bing Li's smile froze.
Once upon a time, getting rid of the other guy was as easy as squashing an ant.
But now, he started to fear him?
At the same Time, in a Street in the West City.
A man wearing a duckbill hat stood with a few passersby, looking at the posted wanted notice.
When he saw the name, he frowned slightly, feeling that the name sounded familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.
Suddenly, he remembered that the person who wanted to join his side a while back was named Jiang Cheng.
"Could it really be the same person?"
He continued reading, and as he read, his pupils dilated involuntarily.
It seemed to be the same person, after all. There shouldn't be another person in the Dawn Society with the same name, right?
However, while he recognized each word, he couldn't understand them when put together.
Like killing the master of the Falcon Fist Martial Hall, a Fifth Rank Force Warrior.
And then there was the killing of the master of the Gale Martial Arts Academy, an Eighth Rank Force Warrior.
The man in the duckbill hat was dumbfounded.
Is this really the person he knows?
