Chapter 200: Feng Family Information

「Do you have more detailed information? 」

」Jiangnan asked calmly.

Yu Chengye's face showed a painful expression, and he shook his head,

「I... I don't know... 」

「Don't know? 」

A hint of disappointment flashed in Jiangnan's eyes,

「Since you know nothing, what's the point of keeping you? 」

Having said that, Jiangnan turned and was about to leave.

「No! I know! I know how to contact the Feng Family! 」

Seeing this, Yu Chengye hurriedly shouted loudly.

He is now at a dead end; Jiangnan is his only hope, and he cannot let Jiangnan leave!

Jiangnan's steps faltered slightly; he turned, looked at Yu Chengye, and asked lightly, 「Oh? You know how to contact the Feng Family? 」

「Yes! I know! 」

Yu Chengye quickly nodded,

「If you are willing to save me, I will tell you how to contact the Feng Family! 」

「Explain the method clearly, and I will cure you. 」

Jiangnan's voice remained cold; he walked to Yu Chengye's front, then took a Golden Needle from his coat and pierced the acupoint on his shoulder.

The moment the Golden Needle entered, Yu Chengye felt the pain in his shoulder lessen considerably.

He realized Jiangnan was helping him, and a surge of hope rose in his heart.

「To contact the Feng Family, you must go to the Black Market. 」

Yu Chengye dared not hide anything further and quickly said,

「Black Market? 」

Jiangnan's eyebrows twitched slightly,

「Isn't the Black Market yours, the Yu family? 」

He had previously learned from the Black-clothed Men that the Black Market was the Yu family's property.

「The Black Market is indeed ours, the Yu family, but... 」

A bitter smile appeared on Yu Chengye's face,

「But our Yu family are only the managers of the Black Market, not its owners. 」

「The owners of the Black Market are the Feng Family? 」

「I... I don't know... 」

Yu Chengye shook his head,

「I only know that there is a person in the Black Market who can contact the Feng Family. 」

「I don't know his name, only that he is called 'Guiye'. 」

Yu Chengye said,

He is the person in charge of the Black Market and also the Feng Family's representative there.

「Guiye? 」

A strange glint flashed in Jiangnan's eyes,

「Where is he? 」

「I don't know where he is, but I know how to find him. 」

「Just go to the Black Market and find a place called 'Ghost Market', and you can locate him. 」

「Ghost Market? 」

Jiangnan's eyebrows twitched slightly,

「What kind of place is that? 」

「Ghost Market is the most mysterious place in the Black Market, and also the most dangerous. 」

A trace of panic flashed across Yu Chengye's brow as he continued to explain,

「It is the darkest spot in the Black Market, and also the most chaotic. 」

「Ghost Market only opens on the fifteenth of each month. 」

「When Ghost Market opens, Guiye will appear. 」

「Only by finding Guiye can one contact the Feng Family. 」

「The fifteenth of each month... 」

A thoughtful glint passed through Jiangnan's eyes,

「What date is today? 」

「Today is... the thirteenth. 」

「So, the day after tomorrow is the fifteenth, and Ghost Market will open. 」

「The day after tomorrow... 」

A sharp spark flashed in Jiangnan's eyes,

「I understand. 」

「Jiangnan, you... you will save me, right? 」

Yu Chengye looked at Jiangnan, his eyes full of expectation.

「That depends on your performance. 」

Jiangnan said lightly,

"If you can help me find the Feng Family, I'll save you."

"I will! I will definitely help you!"

Yu Chengye hurriedly said,

"As long as you're willing to save me, you can have me do anything!"

"Very well."

Jiangnan nodded,

"Then let's do it this way for now."

Having said that, Jiangnan turned and was about to leave.

"Jiangnan, wait!"

Yu Chengye shouted hurriedly,

"You... can you first treat my shoulder?"

"My shoulder... my shoulder itches..."

Yu Chengye's voice carried a hint of pain,

"I feel something crawling inside my shoulder..."

"Let me see."

Jiangnan stepped in front of Yu Chengye, carefully observing his shoulder.

He saw that on Yu Chengye's shoulder, the bruise had begun to rot, emitting a foul stench.

"This is..."

A strange glint flashed in Jiangnan's eyes,

"Is this Corpse Toxin?"

"Corpse Toxin?"

Yu Chengye's complexion changed,

"What is Corpse Toxin?"

"Corpse Toxin is a very special poison, produced by the decay of a corpse."

Jiangnan explained,

"This toxin erodes the body, causing unbearable pain, and eventually leads to a slow death."

"Then... what should I do?"

Yu Chengye's voice trembled,

"I don't want to die, I don't want to die..."

"Don't worry, you won't die for now."

Jiangnan said lightly,

"I just used the Golden Needle to seal your acupoint, temporarily halting the spread of Corpse Toxin."

"But this is only temporary."

A solemn look flashed in Jiangnan's eyes,

"If the antidote isn't administered quickly, you'll still die."

"Then... what should be done?"

Yu Chengye's voice was tinged with sobbing,

"Jiangnan, please, save me, save me..."

"To cure it, you must find the one who poisoned."

"Only by finding the poisoner can you know what toxin was used and apply the correct remedy."

"The poisoner?"

Yu Chengye's eyes flickered with confusion,

"Who administered the toxin to me?"

"I don't know that."

Jiangnan shook his head,

"However, I can be certain that the one who poisoned you is definitely a master."

"A master?"

Yu Chengye's eyes flashed with fear,

"Could it be someone from the Feng Family?"

"It's possible."

Jiangnan nodded,

"But it could also be someone else."

"Someone else?"

Yu Chengye's eyes flickered with doubt,

"I don't know that either."

Jiangnan shook his head,

"However, whoever it is, they must be very dangerous."

"Then... what should I do?"

Yu Chengye's voice trembled,

Jiangnan gave him a cool glance and said,

"As long as you help me find the Feng Family, I'll help you detoxify."

"But don't get too happy yet,"

Jiangnan said coolly,

"I only said I'd help you, but whether I can detoxify depends on your luck."

"I…"

Yu Chengye's expression changed,

"What… what do you mean?"

"I mean, the Corpse Toxin on you is very special."

A hint of seriousness flashed in Jiangnan's eyes,

"I've never seen this kind of Corpse Toxin before."

"I don't know if I can detoxify, nor how to do it."

"So whether you survive depends on your luck."

"Alright, enough talk. The choice is yours."

Jiangnan said coolly,

"Let's go."

Having said that, Jiangnan took Xia Yurou's hand and left the hotel.

Yu Chengye watched Jiangnan and Xia Yurou's departing silhouettes, a complex glint flashing in his eyes.

He didn't know what to do, nor whether he could survive.

But he knew he had to find the Feng Family quickly; only then could he possibly survive.

Thinking that, Yu Chengye gritted his teeth, then turned and left the hotel.

He had to act immediately; he had no time to waste.

Outside the hotel, the night was deep.

Jiangnan and Xia Yurou walked on the road, neither speaking.

"Jiangnan, do you really believe him?"

Xia Yurou asked suddenly.

"Don't."

Jiangnan said coolly,

"But he has no choice now."

A hint of doubt flashed in Xia Yurou's eyes,

"Aren't you afraid he'll bite back?"

"He wouldn't dare."

Jiangnan said coolly, "His life now is in my hands."

"But…"

Xia Yurou tried to say something else, but Jiangnan cut her off.

"Alright, stop talking."

Jiangnan said coolly, "Let's go back."

"Mm."

Xia Yurou nodded, then followed Jiangnan back to their lodging.
