Chapter 354: Citywide Wanted

354. Chapter 354 Citywide Wanted

After saying that, Wang Tong thought Jiang Cheng would halt his steps, even that under his warning he would finally change his mind.

However, the latter acted as if he hadn't heard, still marching forward at his own pace; even with Yang Chun blocking, he quickly disappeared from view.

At this moment, even he, who is usually very calculating, could not suppress the anger inside.

What a Jiang Cheng! He, the illustrious director of the Law Enforcement Bureau, stoops to this degree, even going so far as to produce an S-level Psychic Weapon to befriend him.

And the result? The other party doesn't regard him at all! Absolutely absurd!!!

"Uncle Wang, Brother Jiang is just like that, please don't try to match him; you can keep this Psychic Weapon, I'll pass it to him later; I believe Brother Jiang will definitely accept it, thank you, Uncle Wang." Seeing this, Gu Zhangkong quickly tried to smooth things over.

Unless absolutely necessary, he doesn't want to fall out with Wang Tong.

If possible, he also wants Jiang Cheng to get along well with Wang Tong, proactively adapting to this environment rather than forcing the environment to adapt to him.

Thus, this is why he insists Jiang Cheng come over; however, the latter is still too immature.

"Is that so?"

Wang Tong turned around, his gaze fixed on Gu Zhangkong.

"Changkong, I recall that your Gu Family only concentrates on commerce and doesn't intervene in others' grudges, right?"

"Yes."

Gu Zhangkong nodded.

"Then what exactly happened to Xie Tian's death?"

Wang Tong stared at him intently.

"Uncle Wang, what do you mean by that?"

Gu Zhangkong, surprised, said: "I've heard about this as well; Uncle Wang, you wouldn't think that Xie Tian and his few disciples were killed by us, would you?"

"Couldn't it be?"

Wang Tong lowered his voice, as if suppressing the fury within.

"Don't think I don't know; that kid just now held a grudge against Xie Tian and almost died at his hands, only his strength was insufficient. Now this kid has joined your ranks and performed admirably; so to make him more loyal, you helped him with this, which is a trivial task, right?"

Gu Zhangkong heard this and gave a wry smile, "Uncle Wang, what are you saying? Even if Brother Jiang is that formidable, we could never help him with such a thing; wouldn't that ruin our reputation?"

"So he did it himself?"

"Uncle Wang, you're joking."

Gu Zhangkong shook his head,

"Since Brother Jiang joined us, he has been devoted to Refining Alchemy. During this time, the Dawn Society has been relentless, constantly sending assassins to kill him. Because of this, we have lost several people. Brother Jiang couldn't even find time to hide; how could he dare go out? Moreover, with his strength, he is no match for Xie Tian."

"Is that so?"

Wang Tong naturally didn't believe Gu Zhangkong's excuse.

But he also knew that staying to ask further would yield nothing.

"Changkong, I'll give you a warning: you had better keep this kid under control and not let him step out of here, otherwise who knows what might happen."

"Thank you for the reminder, Uncle Wang, I will."

Wang Tong glanced toward the direction Jiang Cheng was leaving, let out a cold snort, and turned away.

After the two departed, Gu Zhangkong let out a long sigh.

Even a fool knows that having angered Wang Tong, he will certainly not settle for anything when he returns; at most, out of respect for the Gu Family, he won't dare come in to capture people, but outside that is uncertain.

"Fine then."

He thought to himself.

He originally opposed Jiang Cheng leaving, since members of the Dawn Society might be watching from outside, making it too risky. Thus staying here to refine alchemy, and later when he enters the Inner City District, he can bring the latter in, forming his own team. After Wang Tong, there should be little further interaction.

Wang Tong, fuming, got into the car, and after leaving Dinghu Community, he could no longer hold back and let loose a profanity.

"Damn it, you refuse a toast and take a penalty drink, really think you're some big shot?"

"That kid truly doesn't know how to be modest."

Driving the car, Liu Jingshan added, "He leans on the Black Market's protection and looks down on everyone."

"So what?"

Wang Tong let out a cold laugh.

"Since he made me uneasy, I'll make him uneasy too. When I get back, I'll tell the other directors, issue a Citywide Wanted Notice, publish all his deeds, and not only that, I'll station people to keep watch here; if he has the guts, he'll never be allowed to leave this place again!"

In fact, they don't need any so‑called evidence to capture someone.

If they want to catch, they can.

But if the other side has backing, then it won't work.

……

In less than a day, Jiang Cheng's Wanted Notice was plastered all over the streets and alleys.

It listed numerous crimes, amounting to extreme wickedness.

The most delighted upon seeing this news were Bing Li and his companion.

The two held a Wanted Notice, looked at each listed crime, and laughed heartily.

"Bing Li, this method really works! That Wang Tong guy has truly started to go after that kid, what a pity—if he just sent people in to capture him, that would be great," the man beside them said with regret.

"He's not that stupid."

Bing Li replied, "It's impossible to risk offending the Gu Family over a mere suspect, but this is enough to give the kid a drink. I heard that for the past two days, Law Enforcement Bureau experts have been watching from outside; if the kid dares to come out, the only road awaiting him is death."

"Indeed, aside from the Rebel Army, there should be hardly any people who are Citywide Wanted. If he's smart, he'll stay put, and then both of us will be much safer."

The man let out a sigh of relief.

Bing Li, upon hearing that, had his smile freeze on his face.

There was a time when killing an opponent was easier than crushing a single ant.

But now, he has begun to fear the other side? At the same time, on a certain street in West City.

A man wearing a duckbill cap stood with a few passersby, looking at the posted Wanted Notice.

When he saw the name on it, the man's eyebrows twitched; the name seemed vaguely familiar, as if he had heard it somewhere before.

Suddenly, he recalled that the person who had previously wanted to join his side was exactly this name, wasn't it?

"Could it really be the same person?"

He kept reading further, and as he read, his pupils involuntarily dilated.

It seems, indeed it is the same person? Because within the Dawn Society there shouldn't be another person named Jiang Cheng, right? It's just that he recognizes each character individually, yet when combined he can't make sense of it.

Like the one who killed the Gym Master of the Flying Eagle Martial Arts Hall, a Fifth-level Force Warrior.

Later, there is also the one who killed the Gym Master of the Kuangfeng Martial Arts School, an Eight-level Force Warrior.

The duckbill‑cap man was dumbfounded.

Is this really the person he knows? (End of chapter)
