Chapter 90

“Ahem… thank you.”

Su Jiang took the tissue Yang Ming handed him and wiped his mouth.

“Mr. Su, your bag.”

The pilot handed Su Jiang’s backpack to him, then bowed respectfully to Su Jiang.

“Mr. Su, please be careful. I’ll take my leave now.”

After saying that, the pilot flew the helicopter back.

Yang Ming looked up, watching the helicopter disappear in the distance, and smacked his lips.

“Tsk, did you register this helicopter with the An family?”

“How would I know? Go ask An Mingjie, I’m not part of the An family.”

Su Jiang flipped through his backpack, pulling something out.

Then, under Yang Ming’s shocked gaze, Su Jiang pulled a brown… squirrel out of his backpack?

“Why did you bring a rat here?”

“Is your eyesight bad? It’s a squirrel!”

“What’s the difference?”

“How could there not be?” Su Jiang widened his eyes, arguing stubbornly, “Squirrels live in trees, mice live on the ground, squirrels have softer, more agile fur, and smaller appetites…”

“Alright, alright!” Yang Ming quickly interrupted him, “So what exactly did you bring it here for?”

“You wouldn’t understand, this little guy is very useful to me.”

Su Jiang finished speaking and put the brown squirrel into his chest pocket, gently patting its head.

“Right, Wangcai?”

“Chirp! Chirp chirp!” Use me in the first battle, use me, I will win!

This squirrel was raised by An Rou and was temporarily requisitioned by Su Jiang.

It’s meant to be a scout or even a spy.

Of course, the name was also chosen by An Rou.

Nicholas Wangcai.

What, your asking why didn’t u brought  Fugui?

That stupid cat, with its all-white fur, is also being fed fat, Su Jiang is afraid it will be kicked to death by the enemy.

“How’s the situation now?” Su Jiang asked him.

Yang Ming twitched the corner of his mouth. After all this time, you finally remembered to talk about business?

“We only know the general situation. Currently, the members of the An family are scattered and fleeing the island.  On the Feng family side, they have already integrated with Rose’s forces and are searching for the An family.”

“The situation is like a cat and mouse game, with the Feng family being the cat and the An family being the mouse.”

Su Jiang nodded in agreement, finding the analogy apt.

“How did Old Li got shot?” Su Jiang asked again.

“At the time, the battle between the An family and the Feng family was at its peak. Suddenly, Rose, that woman, charged into the battlefield with Wei Tian’s private forces.”

“Although An Mingjie was prepared for this, leaving a group of people to handle such a situation, Rose is too powerful. She set up her sniper rifle from a very long distance and aimed at An Mingjie immediately.

If he hadn’t blocked the shot for An Mingjie, I suspect the An family would have collapsed completely by now.”

“Rose…” Su Jiang murmured the name.

He had heard the name countless times. The tenth-ranked mercenary on the mercenary list, a person constantly living on the edge of death.

【Ding! Hidden task triggered! Task content: Please defeat Blood Rose!】

【Completing this hidden task will grant a hidden reward. Failure will result in no penalty!】

Su Jiang raised an eyebrow, the system prompt, which hadn’t appeared for a long time, sounded.

He almost forgot he had a system.

But this task content, how is it phrased like killing a boss in a game?

“No penalty for failure?”

Su Jiang was puzzled. When did the system become so nice?

But whatever, if there’s a chance to complete this hidden task, then do it. If not…then create a chance to complete it!

It’s rare to encounter a hidden task for the first time, Su Jiang was quite curious, what kind of reward would the system give him?

Could he cultivate immortality?

He still harbored a fascination with wielding a sword to split the heavens.

“How is Li Cai’s injury?”

“He got shot in the abdomen, but he was wearing a bulletproof vest, so he’ll live.”

Su Jiang nodded. As long as he wouldn’t die, that was good. Otherwise, An Mingjie would be upset.

After all, he was his partner, the cool guy with the toy gun.

Su Jiang slung his backpack over his shoulder, pulled out his handgun, checked it, and found no issues.

“Alright then, I’m going in. No need to thank me for the help from the Inspectorate Bureau, after all, I’m one of them too.”

With that, Su Jiang stepped forward, heading into the dense forest alone.

Yang Ming watched Su Jiang’s back, adjusted his glasses, and said, “Strictly speaking, external hires aren’t considered part of the Inspectorate Bureau.”

“Tsk, you guys still have this kind of discrimination, huh?”

“I just want to remind you, if you really want to become a member of the Inspectorate, don’t die.”

Yang Ming paused, and then said, “After all, those people’s impression of you, the psychotherapist… isn’t bad.”

Su Jiang’s figure gradually disappeared, before he was completely concealed by the dense forest, Yang Ming heard Su Jiang’s nonchalant voice.

“Don’t worry, even if all the Inspectorate members die, I won’t.”

……

Jiangdu City, the Wang Family.

Since the Wang family moved to Jiangdu City, they have been incredibly low-key.

Just as they had said before, they did not participate in any struggles, they simply engaged in honest business.

But today, the Wang family welcomed an unexpected guest.

In the grand hall of the Wang family, two individuals sat facing each other, separated only by a tea table.

Wang Boyan, the current head of the Wang family, was smiling as he brewed tea for the person opposite him.

“I wonder, why has the esteemed Director of the Inspectorate graced our humble abode today?”

The person sitting across from Wang Boyan was none other than Director Zheng.

Director Zheng remained expressionless. He picked up his teacup and drank it in one gulp, his voice low and deep:

“Wang Boyan, I won’t beat around the bush. I’m here today to discuss three things.”

“First, hand over the person called Feng Haoxuan.”

“Second, the people who entered the Inspectorate that night, they are alive. I can’t explain that to my subordinates.”

“Third, consider this a warning to your Wang family.”

Director Zheng’s eyes were dark and he stared silently at Wang Boyan.

“You know the reason why you were driven out of the Gray Zone. Don’t try to play any tricks, if you want to play, be prepared for irreversible consequences.”

Wang Boyan listened, his eyes flickering as he sized up Director Zheng. He was filled with astonishment.

He had always planned and executed his actions flawlessly. How did this Director Zheng of the Inspectorate discover this?

And wasn’t it said that the Jiangdu Inspectorate was experiencing significant internal problems and had no time for other matters?

Wang Boyan was completely clueless, but he remained unfazed and smiled:

“Director Zheng, I’m a little confused by what you’re saying.”

“First, I don’t know anyone called Feng Haoxuan. To be honest, this is the first time I’ve heard this name.”

“Second, regarding the intrusion of the Inspectorate, I suspect someone is deliberately framing my Wang family. Director Zheng can rest assured, my Wang family will definitely investigate this matter thoroughly and give the Inspectorate an explanation.”

“As for the third…”

Wang Boyan smiled brightly, his tone still gentle, but with an undisguised threat.

“Director Zheng, sometimes, not knowing is better than knowing, don’t you think?”

“You are just a small branch director. To put it bluntly, you are nothing in the eyes of those who truly hold power.”

“So, your warning is useless to me.”

Wang Boyan extended a finger and pointed upwards.

“You need to go warn those above. If they accept your warning, then my Wang family will naturally accept it as well.”

After speaking, Wang Boyan picked up the teacup and poured another cup of tea for Director Zheng.

Director Zheng heard this, his expression didn’t change, he just sighed softly.

He didn’t drink the tea anymore, Director Zheng stood up and walked outside. As he left, he turned back and looked deeply at Wang Boyan.

“Wang Boyan, I gave you a chance, but you didn’t take it.”

“Director Zheng, please take care. I won’t see you off.” Wang Boyan smiled.

Director Zheng’s figure gradually disappeared. After he left, a figure emerged from the room behind Wang Boyan.

Feng Haoxuan’s eyes were filled with endless hatred, his abdomen was still wrapped in bandages, and he had become noticeably thinner.

Wang Boyan glanced at him and said indifferently, “Pack your things and leave.”

Feng Haoxuan heard this and hastily said, “Aren’t you going to help me get revenge?”

“Why should I help you?”

Wang Boyan snorted coldly: “I saved you purely to repay that old geezer Feng Chengye a favor. From now on, I’m done with your Feng family.”

After saying that, Wang Boyan ignored Feng Haoxuan and left on his own.

Director Zheng’s existence completely exceeded his expectations.

He had to find out Director Zheng’s background as soon as possible.
