Chapter 293: All‑Out Pursuit!

In less than half an hour, a knock sounded outside the house.

Jiang Cheng gave the three people inside a reassuring glance, walked over, and opened the door.

Standing outside was, unmistakably, Li Guanshi of the Black Market.

But at this moment, two more people were behind him.

Seeing Jiang Cheng, Li Guanshi's eyes showed a hint of surprise, then he became happier and extended his hand proactively.

"Welcome to join us; trust me, you won't regret this decision."

"Hmm, hope we cooperate pleasantly."

Jiang Cheng also smiled.

After finishing contact with the Rebel Army, he immediately called Li Guanshi.

Since the decision has been made, we should leave here as soon as possible, the sooner the better.

Otherwise, once Bing Li receives the news, it will be difficult.

"Little brother, have you packed everything? If not, it's fine; we can wait a bit longer."

Li Guanshi said with a smile.

"All packed, ready to depart at any time."

"Alright, no delay; let's set off right now."

Jiang Cheng turned his head toward his family, feeling a bit guilty.

He didn't want his family to wander around with him, but there was no other way.

All he could do was give his utmost to ensure their safety.

Before leaving, Jiang Cheng glanced at the somewhat messy room, placed the key on the table, and resolutely closed the door.

Soon, two cars, one ahead of the other, drove out of the residential complex.

Inside the rear car, Chen Sao and two others wore anxious, uneasy expressions.

They remembered clearly that the man who brought them here then was not the one just now.

Through the rearview mirror overhead, Jiang Cheng saw the scene and said reassuringly, "Grandma, Chen Sao, Xiao Yue, don't worry; I'll take you to a safe place, also in Outer City District, we'll arrive shortly."

The three, hearing this, felt a little reassured.

But the worry in their eyes still wouldn't fade…

An hour later, Bing Li, stationed at Dawn Society Headquarters, received a report compiled from informants on Pingxi Street.

A middle-aged man carrying a knife suddenly appeared on Pingxi Street, first killed five people from the Dragon Xing Martial Arts Hall, then went to the Flying Eagle Martial Arts Hall and killed the Gym Master, and finally killed members of the Iron Fist Gang on the street; moreover, he slaughtered Iron Fist Gang members on several nearby streets, including the Iron Fist Gang Leader.

Nearby other gangs fled in panic, fearing they might also end up on the list; people's hearts were restless.

Of course, ordinary people cheered, and some daring ones even displayed the corpses in the streets.

What happened this time was so shocking that, for a short period, no gang would dare to get involved in those streets.

Looking at the intel, Bing Li's brows gradually furrowed.

This modus operandi increasingly resembled a single person, indeed.

Cang Hai!

Before recruiting him, he already had a record of slaughtering members of the Wild Wolf Gang, and it was done in broad daylight.

This time, also in broad daylight, the Iron Fist Gang members were completely exterminated.

Although the style is similar, when did Cang Hai become this powerful? Within the Iron Fist Gang there are one or two Level Three Force Warriors, several Second-level Force Warriors, and many Level One, totaling about ten, so it's not a big problem.

If it were achieved with his gunmanship, it might be possible, but the problem is that all these people were killed with knives.

His weapon was a Short Staff, so when did he secretly learn a knife technique? Even if he had concealed something before, could he kill the Gym Master of the Flying Eagle Martial Arts Hall, who was a Fifth-level Force Warrior? The latter was even wearing an A-Level Combat Suit! Bing Li's brows furrowed tighter.

Ordinary people shouldn't think this has anything to do with Cang Hai.

Yet the more he thought so, the more uneasy he became.

"Could it be that he's been hiding his strength?"

The thought flashed in his mind.

On the surface, he's a Second-level Force Warrior.

In reality, he might be a Fifth, Sixth, or even Seventh-level Force Warrior? Yet he found this notion absurd. What kind of person could break from Level One to Six or Seven in just three months? Even the Force Masters from a hundred years ago didn't have such astonishing cultivation speed, or perhaps his original strength was already that high? But that makes even less sense.

If he were already a mid-to-high-level Force Warrior, why would a tiny Wild Wolf Gang force him into a corner, forcing him to send his family to Outer City District? The same applied when he later faced the Iron Fist Gang.

"Where exactly did things go wrong?"

Bing Li racked his brain.

He couldn't figure out a reason.

Suddenly a flash of insight struck his mind.

Instead of wrangling here, better to summon the person directly and ask; then we'd know everything. Once he's here, I have a hundred ways to make him reveal the truth.

If it was a mistake, then give some compensation.

If it truly was his doing.

Murderous intent flared in Bing Li's eyes.

What he despises most are disobedient people! Of course, there's also a possibility that after he called, the other party refuses to come no matter what.

Then there's no need to say it; it's clearly a guilty conscience.

Thinking this, Bing Li immediately grabbed the phone beside him and dialed Jiang Cheng.

In the spacious bedroom, a phone ringtone rang.

It rang for almost a minute, then fell silent, but a few seconds later rang again.

This repeated two or three times, and Bing Li, stationed at headquarters, grew so sullen his face seemed about to drip water.

He didn't expect the other side to refuse his call!

"Good, good, what a Cang Hai!"

Beneath Bing Li's seemingly calm surface, fury blazed fiercely.

Since he couldn't contact the other party, he decided to personally lead some people over for a trip.

He wanted to see how the other party would explain themselves then!

Soon, he brought a few people and rushed to the residential area where Jiang Cheng lived, charging straight in and driving right to the door.

"Thud thud, thud thud."

Someone knocked on the door.

No response.

Knocked a few more times.

Still none.

Several people looked toward Bing Li.

He furrowed his brows, his patience already at its limit.

He lifted a leg and kicked the door flying.

Seeing the scene before them, several people were somewhat surprised.

Especially upon seeing a string of keys placed on the table.

An idea simultaneously sprang into the minds of several people.

The next moment, several people rushed into the house, searching room after room, closets, behind the sofa, even under the beds, leaving no spot unchecked.

However, not a person's shadow, not even a ghost's shadow could be seen.

Several people quickly returned to the living room.

"Bing Li, we were a step late; the person has already fled."

"Leaving in such haste, it's obvious they're guilty as a thief."

"That cunning fellow, even if the incident on Pingxi Street wasn't his doing, he's still implicated!"

"Flee?"

Bing Li heard the words and coldly snorted: "With three burdens, where could he flee? No one has ever left the Dawn Society alive; immediately issuing a special mission within the society, everyone, full force to hunt down Cang Hai! Life or death, no matter!"
