Chapter 308: If Soft Doesn't Work, Go Hard

In the blink of an eye, the day passed.

Time reached evening.

Just as Bing Li could no longer hold back and called Yang Chun to ask what the situation was, Yang Chun's call arrived late.

"Brother Yang, how's it going?"

Before Yang Chun could speak, Bing Li hurriedly asked.

"Brother Hong, I had someone look into it, and there's no such person you mentioned, huh?"

Hearing that, Bing Li's expression hardened.

"Brother Yang, are you serious? You're not joking with me, are you?"

You should know, he had been waiting for the other side's call for an entire day! During that whole day, he had already thought of hundreds of ways to torment Jiang Cheng.

And the result was this kind of news? "Brother Hong, I know you're anxious, but don't rush yet."

Yang Chun frowned and said, "If that person is a newly recruited rookie, I would definitely have his records, but there are none now. However, Brother Hong, you previously said someone saw the Dawn Society traitor you mentioned entering our district with their own eyes. I think there might be some hidden circumstances involved."

"What hidden circumstances?"

"Someone might have taken his bribe, brought him here to hide, and will send him away once the outside commotion subsides."

"That kind of thing exists?"

Bing Li was half‑believing, half‑doubting.

But recalling what happened in the Poor District.

He felt Jiang Cheng indeed had an accomplice; otherwise, with his own strength, how could he possibly kill Tang Nian, who was wearing an A-Level Combat Suit? "The likelihood is high."

Yang Chun said earnestly, "I will investigate thoroughly. Of course, to avoid unnecessary panic, this cannot be done overtly, so it may take several days. I hope you, Brother Hong, can understand, and once there is any news, I will inform you at once."

"I see, then thank you so much, Brother Yang."

Bing Li smiled.

"No problem, no problem, shall I hang up now?"

"Wait a moment, Brother Yang, I have something else I want to tell you."

"Brother Hong, feel free to say it," Yang Chun laughed.

Anyway, no matter how the other side pressed, he only gave one word: delay.

Although the Black Market isn't afraid of the Dawn Society, it's still better not to offend them.

"Brother Hong, you know how the Dawn Society treats traitors; I don't need to say more, you understand as well."

"That, of course."

"No, Brother Yang, you still don't quite understand."

Bing Li shook his head, and the smile had vanished from his face.

"Anyone who betrays the Dawn Society, wherever they run, the Dawn Society will spare no expense to bring them back, leaving them unable to live nor die; if there are accomplices, we will not let them go either."

"Brother Hong, is this a threat to me? Do you think I'm deliberately sheltering that traitor?"

Yang Chun's voice grew a few degrees colder.

"Heh heh heh, Brother Yang, you've misunderstood; I didn't mean that."

Bing Li nodded and said no more.

"I just want to capture that traitor as quickly as possible. To be frank, we have also issued a bounty on him internally; anyone who captures him alive can claim a one‑million reward. If you, Brother Yang, can hand him over to me, I'll present the one‑million bounty with both hands."

Yang Chun's eyes showed a mocking glint.

He couldn't see this kind of carrot‑and‑stick method? When he employed this trick, Bing Li still didn't know which nook he was in.

"Hahaha, fine, I will give it my all to claim the one‑million bounty. Alright, brother, it's getting late; you should rest early. I'm hanging up now."

Having said that, he hung up.

He sneered.

One million?

The guarantee he gave Jiang Cheng was already three million.

Bing Li, that guy, is just being ridiculous. On the other side.

The moment the call ended, an angry voice rang out nearby.

"What still needs time? I see that guy Yang Chun is clearly doing it on purpose, not wanting to hand the person over."

"Isn't that right? He really treats us like three‑year‑old kids."

"Damn it, they've already cost us a day, and they still want to waste several more days; I'll eventually have to kill him!"

Bing Li's eyes also burned with anger.

But he also knew very well that he really couldn't do anything to the other side.

"Bing Li, what do we do next? We can't just sit here waiting for his news, can we?" someone looked at Bing Li.

"How could that be?"

Bing Li let out a cold laugh.

"Since the Yang family wants to play games with us, we'll keep playing along. He refuses to hand the person over, so we'll snatch him privately."

The three beside them exchanged glances and all nodded.

"The Black Market has always had a habit of training people into Refining Alchemy masters; that kid should be there, but he has a habit of wearing a Human Skin Mask, so he might be like that now. Even if we go over, it would be hard to recognize him."

"No need to worry about that."

Bing Li squinted.

"I've already had someone craft a sensing stone, placing a bit of his personal items inside. As long as he appears within fifty meters of the stone, it will react, stronger the closer he is."

"Good! With this, we won't have to worry about not recognizing that kid!"

The three let out a sigh of relief.

"Soon after, someone else asked: 'Who should we send to complete this mission? That kid's strength isn't strong, but the place he's in is very sensitive; once the Black Market discovers our actions, it will surely bring considerable trouble.'"

"Not bad, I think we should just pick one of us to go?"

"Us?"

"Several people exchanged glances."

"Their strength is basically sixth or seventh level; they are the backbone of the Dawn Society and also handle various sudden incidents in the society."

"Only if they encounter greater trouble will they alarm the eighth- and ninth-level Force Warriors above, even the president."

"But to capture a second-level Force Warrior, sending them out seems like using an anti-aircraft gun to shoot mosquitoes—overkill, right?"

"Not bad."

"Bing Li nodded quickly."

"This operation is out of the ordinary; I don't feel comfortable sending anyone else. Gu Lang, Wudi, you two go."

"His gaze fell on the two people on his left."

"Gu Lang is a seventh-level Force Warrior; his strength is not much weaker than his."

"Wudi is a sixth-level Force Warrior."

"The two working together can capture a low-level Force Warrior; that's enough."

"The two on the left exchanged glances and, in unison, said, 'Good.'"

"Tomorrow, I'll give you two sensing stones; one can sense that kid, the other can sense his family. Ideally, capture them all; if not, kill his whole family, then bring him out."

"By the way, there are many Spiritual Thought Masters inside, not easy to hide; later you'll go collect two high-level restraining talismans."

"Gu Lang and the other showed a hint of unusual color in their eyes."

"Bing Li really went all out this time."

"Restraining talismans are third-grade material; high-level restraining talismans, with the aid of terrain, can even get within ten meters of a high-level Spiritual Thought Master to launch a sudden attack! They can be called the bane of Spiritual Thought Masters! And such talismans are few in the society."

"'This mission cannot afford any loss; we must make full preparations.' Bing Li said coldly."
