The next day.
In the northern part of Linglong City, there is a five-story ancient-style attic, which is magnificent and full of charm. There are three large gold-plated characters "Mingqihui" on the plaque.
Zhang Ming stayed awake all night. None of the people he sent came back, and even his cell phone was unanswered because it was out of service area.
The answer is self-evident: they are either dead or kidnapped.
The former is more likely!
With two big dark circles under his square face, Zhang Ming felt that his blood was about to explode and he even smashed several tables.
"Jia Zhengqi, Jia Zhengqi, it seems that I underestimated you!" Zhang Ming paced back and forth. In addition to anger, he also felt a sense of fear and relief. Fortunately, he did not go there in person last night.
Bang——
The office door was suddenly slammed open, and a strong old man strode in with an angry look on his face.
"Where are the people you sent out last night? Call them all back!" The old man slapped Zhang Ming in the face. "Zhengqi has already given in so much, what else do you want? You must remember how much effort Mingqi has put in to get to where he is today!"
Zhang Ming clenched his fists again and again, gritting his teeth. "You always think I'm not as good as him at forging spiritual weapons, I tolerate that. You've always been partial to him, giving him everything good, I tolerate that too, but why did you act as a matchmaker for him in the first place! You clearly know that I like her! Who is your son, him or me?"
The old man's momentum weakened a bit. "That girl has no feelings for you, but she's deeply in love with Zhengqi. You can't force her to do that. But now that things have come to this, do you really want to kill her completely?"
Zhang Ming remained silent, his eyes growing increasingly sinister. He waited until the old man sighed and left before he crushed the ragdoll cat in the cage to death with one palm. "Whoever stops me must die!"
…
Quietly, a month passed by, and the Mingqi Association seemed to have quieted down.
The tightly closed curtains opened a small gap, and Chen Zhong used a telescope to scout the situation nearby.
Behind him, Jia Shuangshuang carefully reviewed the surveillance video of last night over and over again. Her face was no longer gloomy and hopeless, but instead had a more steady temperament that was somewhat similar to Chen Zhong.
Chen Zhong was really worried, fearing that the other team's jungler would directly ambush Jia Shuangshuang, so he asked her to move in half a month ago. Of course, the bed was his, as Jia Shuangshuang had been sleeping on the floor for more than ten days.
"It's now confirmed that the pancake vendor across the street, the agents handing out flyers, and the outdoor livestreamers were all arranged by Zhang Ming," Chen Zhong said. "Tell me the reason."
Jia Shuangshuang moved closer, observed for a moment, and then hesitated before saying, "The hand-pulled pancake vendor's cooking skills are very poor, and he doesn't prepare many ingredients. He only had one or two customers in the past few days, and he hasn't changed his place. He always looks towards the gate of the community."
"The real estate agents handing out flyers? They have so few flyers and barely hand them out. They're just pretending. They're mostly just wandering around but never leaving the street. The moment they disagree, they'll look up and answer the phone."
"Those so-called anchors were even more obvious, pointing their phones at our location, blatantly monitoring us."
As the saying goes, "Birds of a feather flock together." However, in just one month, Jia Shuangshuang felt that she was suffering from paranoia. She was nervous all day long, and it seemed that even the wind blowing from the northwest was filled with unknown murderous intent!
Chen Zhong suddenly opened the curtains halfway, stretched, and asked, "There's another place, have you found it?"
Jia Shuangshuang was startled, "What are you doing?"
Chen Zhong smiled and shook his head. "I've been holding it in for a month. It's time to let them see my true face... Come closer."
Two people were lying on the windowsill, one was calm and composed, and the other looked around in confusion.
"Do you see that construction site over there?" Chen Zhong pointed to an open area eight hundred meters away.
"Um."
"Do you see that tower crane?" Chen Zhong added, "The driver up there is the main force responsible for 24-hour surveillance. He's high up, with a perfect angle. He's got a professional-grade telescope, not to mention he just likes looking up at the sky."
Jia Shuangshuang wasn't in the mood to care about this right now. She grabbed Chen Zhong and snorted softly and seriously, "Why did you suddenly expose yourself? Don't you know that this will double your danger level?"
Chen Zhong sat back on the sofa, picked up the chubby big orange cat, and jokingly said, "Are we going to stay at home forever? A yellow-haired girl and a yellow-haired fat cat are too boring, right?"
Chen Zhong had considered training at home until he reached the maximum level before heading out into the world, but reality wasn't that rosy; it wasn't a web game where you could level up from 1 to 100. Apart from anything else, the specialized items needed to advance to the higher realms in the mid- to late-stage stages were a real challenge.
Chen Zhong still can't figure out the random awakening mechanism of the key passive skills. There is neither a so-called system task nor any prompts. He doesn't go out to gain experience and do things carefully to trigger the awakening. Does he really have to stay at home to achieve the achievement of unlocking 108 postures?
It is true that prudence is a good quality, but staying at home and waiting to die is not Chen Zhong’s goal.
Moreover, several superimposed fifth-grade spirit formations might be hard to find an enemy in the lower realm, but who could have predicted that enemies from the upper realm wouldn't come knocking on their door?
Will the three empires get out of control and start a war?
Will the demon cave suddenly erupt?
Will Blue Planet be invaded by alien races?
Could it be that some demon god is sleeping in the depths of the universe, and once he wakes up, the world will be destroyed?
I’m not a prophet, but it’s just normal to be prepared for danger in times of peace!
Therefore, from the perspective of the overall situation, one must steadily become a strong person who is not afraid of anything. Only a cautious and strong person can be called the "Emperor of Gou"!
