He took out the documents he had just written at the reception desk and handed them to the officer in front of him. He then showed them to his colleague from the intelligence department next to him.
"That's easy, I'll get back to you within 12 hours. Where do you live...?"
Gao Jun remained expressionless, left his address, and turned to leave. He always felt that Gao Quan was not simple; he was very eye-catching just from his appearance.
Afterwards, Gao Jun returned home to spend time with his parents and elder brother, playing with his nephews and nieces, and telling his family to adapt to life at Leopard Court as soon as possible.
Gao Chun couldn't sit still and secretly told Gao Jun behind his parents' backs that he wanted to open a factory in Baoting. Gao Jun smiled and told him that no more factories would be built around Baoting, as all the land had been sold off.
Gao Chun was still very angry: "You promised me, but what happened? You changed your mind as soon as you arrived at Leopard Court."
Gao Jun quickly comforted him, "Brother, the best days are yet to come. Why are you always thinking about setting up factories? Besides, what I said is true; all the land has been divided up by the big players."
The land surrounding Leopard Court had already been allocated to others, all of whom were founding members and their families. How could they possibly compete with them?
Building a factory requires land, manpower, and capital. My brother has saved up some money over the years, but he has neither of the other two. Building a factory is just a pipe dream for him.
"It's better to live a good life. Our family has military merit, and our monthly salary is more than most people's, enough for the whole family to live a good life."
Gao Jun kept persuading him, which finally made Gao Chun stop bothering him. He was afraid that he would get restless if he stayed at home, so Gao Jun advised him to just take a break and talk about it later.
Shortly after, there was a knock on the door. Gao Jun went to open it and found several men in military uniforms standing outside. They handed him a document without saying a word.
"We've got results for the person you were looking for. He went to the black market and bought a fishing boat at exorbitant interest rates in a small coastal town in the First Special Economic Zone."
"A fishing boat?" Gao Jun was taken aback, completely unexpected by Gao Quan's actions, and couldn't help but ponder.
The First Special Zone is in the desert, with a few coastal towns, all in the eastern region. Fishing boats frequently sail and go out to sea there, but because there is no escort fleet, they go more often than they return.
What was Gao Quan doing at sea? This puzzled Gao Jun, who wanted to follow him personally and see him in person before he could come to a conclusion.
"Brother, I have another mission. I'm going out for a while and may not be back for a while. Everything you need is at home. If you need anything, just call this number."
Gao Jun gave his family a phone number—the number for the military department that handles military honors matters—and that this month's salary had already been paid.
After settling his family in, Gao Jun immediately set off. He first went to the black market, where he found someone familiar with the place. The person they sent quickly replied that Gao Quan had been found.
Gao Quan had already left the city by car, not at all as he had said, intending to make a name for himself in Leopard Court, but instead leaving alone and heading east.
"Give me a ticket to the same place as him."
The black market has everything you could want, and even in Leopard Court, this market is built on the foundation of cabinet control and executive branch management.
There were even people selling people and poisons on the roadside, as well as various murder tools, and services such as hiring murderers, detectives, and missing persons searches.
Within an hour, Gao Jun obtained the same train ticket as Gao Quan, heading to the same place.
He was traveling on a freight train, which is cheaper, but everyone has to squeeze into one place. There might only be one or two carriages carrying passengers, and the air inside is very stuffy.
Gao Jun didn't care. He had suffered even more on the battlefield. He remained calm and composed, sitting in the carriage without saying a word until the next stop.
With their tickets one after the other, less than ten minutes apart, Gao Jun immediately met Gao Quan at the station.
It wasn't hard for him to notice that tall, handsome, and memorable people stood out in the crowd. There were tall people, but none of them had a face as memorable as Gao Quan's.
Gao Jun followed him for several days and discovered that Gao Quan was penniless, sometimes hunting in the mountains and sometimes sleeping in the wild.
Gao Jun was far away, and he had psychic abilities, so he was very adaptable to life in the outside world. But Gao Quan was also able to adapt, and very quickly at that.
Gao Jun immediately realized that this person was very strong, and his agility and reaction were very fast. A rabbit could not escape from him and would be easily caught.
He also possesses exceptional wilderness survival skills. From the city to the countryside and into the mountains, his goal has never changed; he has been continuously expanding eastward.
Many times, for several nights, Gao Jun was half-asleep, and he had to keep an eye on Gao Quan. He couldn't light a fire, and he ate only wild vegetables and the dry rations he carried with him.
He accidentally discovered that Gao Quan would occasionally have a bright blue halo flashing around him, and pure energy would spread and diffuse from his body.
"What is that?" Gao Jun was extremely surprised. Several times at night he saw Gao Quan's light shining in the mountains and forests, but he himself was sleeping soundly and did not notice anything.
Gao Jun finally realized that he had a secret. That energy was natural spiritual energy, and it was hidden in him, not something he possessed within his body.
"Could it be some kind of extraordinary treasure?" Gao Jun decided to continue tracking it, heading east with it. More than ten days passed in the blink of an eye.
On this very day, the two walked one after the other into a dense forest, surrounded by primeval jungle, with thick tree trunks and the occasional bird call.
boom!
An explosion rang out above the two men, and a short, sallow-faced man fell from the sky. He was lying in wait and threw a punch at Gao Quan!
