C365 Heraclea
As one of the most powerful families in Yangzhou, the Yao Family naturally had its own intelligence network. From government officials to ruffians, everyone could be their spy.
However, even if they gathered information from all over the place, it would be impossible to find any clues in a short period of time. After all, Yangzhou City was simply too big.
Countless people were running around for Chen Long's order. In order to find Xia Xiaoxuan as soon as possible, Chen Long had also personally gone to the battlefield, shuttling through the streets and alleys of Yangzhou City.
On a commercial street in Yangzhou, a young man hastily walked past with a frown. A ripple, invisible to the naked eye, spread out from him, bringing back all the information he had collected.
This young man was Chen Long!
To be honest, Yangzhou city was too big and densely populated. Even if Chen Long had a killing tool like telepathic thoughts, it would still be difficult to find one person among the millions of people in a region.
Chen Long raised his head. He rubbed his brow and muttered, "There aren't any here either …"
In just a short hour, he had explored nearly a quarter of the entire Yangzhou City by himself. If word of this got out, he would definitely be scared to death.
However, the price for doing this was to consume too much energy and become dispirited. Even someone as strong as him would find it difficult to endure.
"I brought Xiao Xuan with me. I promised to protect her, so I won't break my promise!" Chen Long thought to himself, but a trace of worry appeared in his eyes.
Xiao Xuan, you must not let anything happen to me. Otherwise, how am I supposed to explain this to Ke Er, Big Sister Bai Sha, your parents!
Time ticked by, and in the blink of an eye, it was already close to evening.
Chen Long, who had been scouting the entire afternoon, suddenly felt his vision darken, and his body staggered, almost falling to the ground. Luckily, he managed to stabilize himself after holding on to the wall.
"Is it the limit?"
Chen Long bitterly smiled. It was hard to describe the bitterness in his heart. Was it really true that the girl who was filled with youth and limitless vigor had left him just like that?
At this moment, a melodious voice that sounded like an oriole came over, attracting his attention.
"Hello, sir, are you alright?"
Raising his head, he saw a girl standing in his line of sight, looking at him with a face full of worry. She was dressed in simple clothes.
"I'm fine, thank you."
Chen Long waved his hand. His tone was low and his voice was slightly hoarse. This was the aftereffect of overusing his spiritual will.
"Really? I can see that your expression is a little ugly, why don't I send you to the hospital! " The woman frowned and said.
"There's really no need for that. I still have matters to attend to, so I'll be leaving first!"
Chen Long was burning with anxiety. How could he have the time to chat with strangers? After he finished speaking, he turned around to leave.
However, just as he turned around, he was pulled back by the girl. She stubbornly said, "No, you're pale. It's obvious that you're in a bad state. I can't let you go!"
Damn, how can I be blamed for this?
Chen Long didn't know whether to laugh or cry. However, he was kind enough to not stress his words. He said politely, "I just had a cold. I'm fine!"
"No, you're lying!"
Unexpectedly, the girl shook her head. She did not know what she had suddenly thought of. She abruptly let go of her hand and exclaimed, "You … You... "Could he be a fugitive …?"
F * ck!
How could I be a fugitive!
Besides, was there such a handsome fugitive in this world?
Chen Long helplessly touched his forehead and said with a wry smile, "Miss, isn't this opening of your brain a little too big? Do you want me to send you to the hospital to have a look?"
"En..." "Sorry …" The girl also knew that she had overthought things. With a blush, she apologized in a low voice.
"It's alright, don't take it to heart!" Chen Long waved his hand. "In that case, I still have matters to attend to. Goodbye!"
"Hey, wait!"
"Hmm?"
Chen Long couldn't help but frown. What was going on with this little girl?
The girl also noticed the displeasure on Chen Long's face and quickly explained, "I saw you walking aimlessly back and forth on this street as if you were looking for something. I've been living here for more than ten years, should I help you?"
It wasn't impossible!
Chen Long thought about it again and felt that searching everywhere wasn't a big deal. He was tired out and didn't know what to do, but he didn't have much hope. After all, this kind of thing, a young girl wouldn't know about it.
It just so happened that Chen Long needed a break. He took out his portrait and asked like he was performing a magic trick, "Have you seen these two people before?"
"So they're looking for someone!"
The girl understood and looked toward where Chen Long was pointing. When she saw the two portraits, her expression changed and she shouted, "I know them!"
"I already guessed it …"
Chen Long's interest was piqued. He excitedly grabbed the girl's hand and excitedly asked, "What did you just say?!"
"I said I knew them." The girl looked at Chen Long's excited expression and felt a little scared. She whispered, "You …" You... "What do you want …"
"I'm sorry, I'm sorry!"
Seeing the girl's expression, Chen Long knew that he was being a little too excited. He suppressed the wild excitement in his heart and asked anxiously, "Who are the two of them? Where do you live? What is it? How do you know them? "
Seeing that Chen Long had calmed down, the girl let out a sigh of relief. With a look of disgust, she said, "I don't know their real names either. I only know that one of them is called Brother Snake and the other one is called Brother Panther. They are here to collect protection fees."
"My store is over there!"
The girl then turned around and pointed behind Chen Long and continued, "These two people frequently come to my house to feast and never pay. How annoying!"
"Shen family's cuisine!"
Chen Long followed the girl's finger and looked over. He really did see a small restaurant. He noted down the name of the restaurant and then asked, "I'm Chen Long. I still don't know your name …"
"I'm Shen Jiayi!" The girl smiled.
"Alright!"
Chen Long let out a heavy sigh. He felt as if a flower was blooming in the dark. He said solemnly, "Jiayi, you have helped me greatly. I will definitely thank you!"
"Then I'll be waiting!" She only thought that Chen Long was joking and did not take it seriously. In her heart, this was not a big deal.
"Alright, then I'll be leaving first. Goodbye!"
Without wasting any time, Chen Long turned around and walked into the crowd, disappearing without a trace.
"Strange, where is he?"
Shen Jiayi only saw a blur before she disappeared from Chen Long's sight. She looked around but could not see him, so she turned around and returned to the store …
Not too far away, Chen Long quickly took out his mobile and dialed Yao Qianxing's number. He said, "Brother Snake, Brother Panther, find these two people immediately!"
"Alright!"
Yao Qianxing, who was also on the street, instantly understood Chen Long's intentions. Delighted, he didn't say anything and immediately hung up the phone.
He truly deserved to be called master!
Yao Qian Xing was extremely shocked. The entire Yao family had been busy for such a long time, yet they hadn't received any news. Yet, his master was aware of the identities of those two people. This was too amazing!
However, he also knew how anxious Chen Long was right now. He immediately passed the news to Yao Yichen, asking him to arrange for a arrest.
He felt as if a weight had been lifted off his shoulders. He felt extremely tired, and didn't bother to call his family's car to pick him up. He waved his hand to stop a taxi and rushed over to the Yao Family's headquarters.
On the other side, after Yao Yichen received the news, she was also overjoyed. She quickly spread the news and found trouble directly using the portrait, but after knowing the exact name and footprint, if they still could not find the person, then the Yao Family would no longer need to exist!
Sure enough, in less than ten minutes, news had been relayed back to him. The two of them were in a small gambling den in a village!
"Capture these two bastards and send them to headquarters immediately!"
Once Yao Yi Chen finished giving out his orders, he immediately slumped back into his chair, his body drenched in sweat and filled with fear. Luckily, Qian Xing had found some clues, otherwise, the future of the Yao family would be bleak!
He did not know, however, that this was not a clue that Yao Qianxing had found. The real clue was something that Chen Long had coincidentally found!
Not long after, Chen Long and Yao Qianxing arrived at the Medicine Hall's headquarters. Not long after, those two people were also escorted to the front of Chen Long and the other two.
Looking at the two kneeling on the ground in front of him, Chen Long's face turned extremely cold. He suppressed the killing intent in his heart and asked, "You two are Brother Snake and Brother Leopard?"
"Brother, if you dare not call me that, just call me Little Snake!" One of them flattered.
"Right, right, right. Big brother can just call me Little Panther!" Another person added.
"Cut the crap!"
How could Chen Long have the time to argue with these two? He directly asked, "Where is the girl that you guys have arrested?"
"Girl?"
Brother Snake was lean and his eyes were bright. His mind was extremely active. He immediately kowtowed and said, "Big Brother, what girl is this? I really don't know!"
"That's right, Big Brother!"
Although Brother Bao looked simple and honest, how could he be a fool in this society. He immediately said: "We brothers only accept protection fees, how would we dare to kidnap a population!"
"You won't say it, right?"
Chen Long laughed coldly. He could no longer suppress the killing intent in his heart. He stomped on Brother Snake's finger and appeared in front of the two men.
Ka-cha! *
With a few crisp sounds, Brother Snake's face contorted in extreme pain. His five fingers were connected to his heart, and someone had stepped on them with a kick. How could he not be in pain?
Chen Long didn't even give him the chance to howl loudly. He immediately pressed his hand down on his forehead and forcibly activated the Art of Soulsearch.
Chen Long's spiritual will savagely cut into Brother Snake's memory, just like a bandit, and read through the memory before releasing his hand.
Brother Snake, on the other hand, was in a daze, foaming at the mouth, and his pupils were unfocused. It was as if he had become retarded!
Seeing Brother Snake's miserable state, Brother Bao was frightened half to death as he pleaded, "Big Brother, Uncle, I'll tell you. I'll tell you everything, I beg you …"
However, Chen Long remained expressionless. His eyes were cold as his large hand firmly dropped down. If anyone dared to touch Xiao Xuan, the only thing they would do was die!
