Chapter 778

While riding the clouds and mist, Li Yi concealed his form so that ordinary people could not see him at all. In just over ten seconds, he already saw a bustling city appear in his line of sight.

He took out his phone to check the map, confirming that the place before him was indeed Dachang City.

After observing it slightly, Li Yi could be certain that this city was still normal, with no supernatural events occurring. Moreover, there were more people living here than in Dazhuang City, which meant it would be safe for a considerable amount of time.

If it weren't safe, the residents would have moved away long ago.

He found a spot and immediately landed on a street in Dachang City.

Although there were many pedestrians on the street, no one noticed Li Yi's sudden appearance, and he blended into the city quite naturally.

Li Yi had intended to wander around to observe the city and get a sense of the situation here first.

But after walking half a circle, he discovered that this city seemed to have no person-in-charge; he felt no unusual aura, which meant he couldn't go through the person-in-charge to inquire about information regarding Yang Wang Jian.

"Could it be that I have to use the Dream-Entrusting Technique?" Li Yi thought to himself.

He was capable of performing large-scale Dream-Entrusting Techniques, which allowed him to question people in their dreams, and people in dreams would unconsciously reveal true information.

"Better not. Using extraordinary powers on such a large scale would likely be mistaken for supernatural power by others, and one careless move could easily invite unnecessary trouble."

Li Yi decided to find a law firm instead and use his "money power." As long as he found people related to Yang Wang Jian, he could follow the clues and likely get to the bottom of things very quickly.

However, just as he was passing in front of a large building.

Suddenly, he saw a man of about thirty being carried out by a group of security guards.

The man was roaring angrily, "What kind of joke is this? I can't even enter my own company? What 'Manager Wu'? Where did that piece of dog shit come from? Go ask around and see who your grandfather is!"

"Mr. Zhang, please stop being unreasonable. Although you do have shares in Shangtong Building, the company has long had nothing to do with you. The shareholders withdrew their capital, the assets were liquidated, and the debts were restructured. It's already good that our company was willing to take over. If you continue to make a scene, I'll have no choice but to call the police."

A man in his fifties, dressed in a suit and leather shoes, said with an impatient expression.

"Are you bullying your grandfather because he hasn't read many books? Where did all that money from the company go? And all those fixed assets—your boss could afford to acquire them? Make him come out! I want to see the acquisition contract. Yang Xiaohua is a lawyer; I'll have her look at it. If even a cent is missing, your grandfather will kill you, you dog!" The man continued to roar.

"Don't let him into the company again. Block him." Manager Wu didn't want to say anything more; he just gave an order to the security guards and turned to leave.

"If you're so capable, don't run, you surnamed Wu!" Seeing the other party about to leave, the man shouted again.

But Manager Wu ignored him and soon walked into the building and disappeared, while a dozen security guards blocked the main entrance, forbidding the man from forcing his way in.

"You can't stop me! I, A-Wei, will be back, and I'll make you regret it!" After struggling for a long time, the man didn't give up, but he left behind a harsh threat before walking away in a huff.

Li Yi had originally not wanted to get involved, but the man's last sentence made him stop in his tracks.

A-Wei?

He felt a strange sense of familiarity.

For some reason, this person looked very much like Yang Wei. Could they be relatives?

After all, this was Dachang City, so that was indeed a possibility.

Thinking of this, Li Yi followed the man and attempted to make contact.

He had expected this furious man to do something impulsive after leaving, but instead, Li Yi saw him walk toward an internet cafe, where a group of idle thugs in their thirties were squatting at the entrance.

"A-Wei is here."

"A-Wei, where did you go? We were just waiting for you to treat us. If you don't come, we don't even have money to go online."

These few thugs were sharing a single cigarette, looking quite destitute. "Still want to go online? The company has been taken over by others, and your President Wei is about to be unemployed," the man called A-Wei said angrily.

Vajras are easy to cultivate, Bodhi is difficult to certify.

"That's right. As the saying goes, soldiers are raised for a thousand days to be used for a single moment. We've been eating and using your stuff for so many years without ever feeling embarrassed. Now that you're in trouble, I'll help you no matter what."

Unexpectedly, these thugs were quite loyal. They threw away the cigarette butts in their hands, immediately rolled up their sleeves, and prepared to go with A-Wei to seek justice.

Some even started looking for bricks and steel pipes around the internet cafe.

"Wait a minute, don't be so impulsive. What era is this? Still fighting? You have to learn to use your brains. Besides, your boss is famous for being able to handle things. It's not time for you to act yet. Go online and calm down first, let me think of a plan."

A-Wei hurriedly stopped these impulsive underlings.

"A-Wei, don't carry the burden alone if something happens. Tell us, and we'll all think of a way together," one thug said. "We'll go through fire and water for you."

"Enough, enough, go online first, go online." A-Wei didn't explain further, just pushed these people toward the internet cafe. "Today, same old rules, my treat."

Soon, the group disappeared into the internet cafe.

Li Yi had intended to follow them in to find an opportunity to make contact with the man called A-Wei. He was now basically certain that this person must have some connection to Yang Wei. With that personality and tone of voice, having crossed so many worlds, he couldn't find a second one like him.

However, before he could walk in, the man called A-Wei suddenly turned back alone.

The two bumped into each other head-on.

At this moment, the man called A-Wei had a calm expression, looking serious and earnest. He had somehow produced a golden pistol, and although he intended to hide it behind his back, Li Yi noticed it.

"Who are you? Why are you following me?" A-Wei stared at Li Yi and asked.

"Nice alertness. Among ordinary people, you can be considered excellent," Li Yi said.

A-Wei sneered, "Don't look at me as just an unemployed middle-aged uncle on the surface; in secret, I am the 'Dual-Wielding Golden Gunner' of Dachang City. Your little tricks can't deceive my eyes. I guess you've been staking me out at the internet cafe entrance for several days. It seems my useless underlings exposed my information. You are smart, your intuition is sharp, and you smelled the dangerous aura radiating from me, which is why you haven't made a move yet, right?"

"Unfortunately, you still underestimated me. You don't have a chance now. If you're sensible, walk away, and I can pretend nothing happened today."

"..." Li Yi didn't know what to say for a moment.

He felt that this person's train of thought was a bit abnormal, as if a blockbuster movie had played out in his mind in just a short moment.

Li Yi didn't leave, but instead went straight to the point: "You look very similar to someone I know. Have you heard of a person named Yang Wang Jian?"

Hearing this name.

A-Wei's pupils shrank instantly. He immediately put away the gun, then quickly came to Li Yi's side, wanting to pull him aside to talk.

But Li Yi's body was like a skyscraper, impossible to shake.

A-Wei felt this inhuman strength, and his body stiffened. He then lowered his voice and said, "Are you from the supernatural circle?"

"The supernatural circle? I suppose so." Li Yi thought for a moment and said, "So, you know that Yang Wang Jian?"

"Who sent you?" A-Wei examined the person in front of him seriously.

Li Yi said, "That's not important, is it? Looking at you, you're either Yang Wang Jian's relative or his friend. I have something to find him for. Could you conveniently reveal his whereabouts?"

"I don't even know who you are, why should I tell you?" A-Wei said. "But looking at you, you don't seem like an enemy. Let's talk somewhere else."
