Chapter 69, Chapter 3, Chapter 3
Looking at the huge ravine in the hall that ran through several walls and stretched all the way to the outside of the manor, Attorney Luo couldn't help but open his mouth wide and silently pushed his sunglasses back on.
Just a few days ago, Jiang Chen was a somewhat naive and even ignorant young man who needed his guidance.
But Jiang Chen, who was standing here at this moment, felt unfamiliar to him.
Especially the lingering electric light around him made Jiang Chen look like a walking humanoid catastrophe.
If he's a mechanic-driven monster, then Jiang Chen is a stat-driven monster. There are no fancy mechanics, no complex game mechanics, just pure numerical domination.
One force can overcome ten techniques.
"You're a monster."
Attorney Luo's tone was filled with amazement, emotion, and even a hint of...envy.
"Is he strong? He earned it with his life. Ordinary people can't learn that." Cat Master jumped back onto Jiang Chen's shoulder again, acting as the one who complains. "Not everyone can be like him, fearless of death and daring to keep courting death, dancing back and forth on the King of Hell's Book of Life and Death."
"You have no idea, after Ai Yi got into trouble, this guy went into a rage and acted like a madman for two whole days. I don't even know how many times he electrocuted himself."
It's clear that Cat Master is still quite worried, otherwise he wouldn't have seized the opportunity to complain.
"Something happened to Ai Yi, what happened?"
Lawyer Luo was somewhat concerned about Ai Yi, his future boss, even though Ai Yi thought he was a lolicon, he wasn't angry.
"He was captured by Li Lianying."
"Li Lianying, is that the chief eunuch who served Empress Dowager Cixi, the one I know?"
This is the advantage of historical figures with high cultural levels; just mentioning a name was enough for Attorney Luo to immediately make connections.
Jiang Chen nodded. "That's right, it's him. Master Cat said he ate the flesh of a living Tai Sui and awakened the spirit of the zombie fungus, which is why he has survived until now and has the title of Green Zombie Tai Sui."
"The Green Zombie Tai Sui!"
Upon hearing the name, Attorney Luo's expression turned strange, and his gaze toward Cat Master seemed to be seeking confirmation of something.
However, Lawyer Luo naturally understood the human-like threatening expression on Cat Master's face, but Jiang Chen didn't see it.
"How can I help you?"
"In Blackrock Prison, the one who controlled the flames and flew at low altitude was from the Nangong family. You should remember him, right?"
Upon hearing this, Attorney Luo immediately understood Jiang Chen's plan.
"You want to use the power of the Four Spirits Clan or the government to deal with Li Lianying, right?"
"That's right. I have no idea what the upper limit of the opponent's zombie bacteria ability can reach, but Cat Master said that he was the source of the zombie scourge in the late Qing Dynasty and early Republic of China, so he should definitely not be underestimated."
Attorney Luo nodded, expressing his strong agreement.
"That's true. It's been almost two hundred years since then, and there have been so many wars during that time. During wars, there were corpses everywhere, and the one thing that was never lacking was bodies. Your concerns and worries are valid."
"As for the Four Spirits Clan, there's no need to go to great lengths to find her; she'll come to us herself." Attorney Luo pointed to the exaggerated signs of vandalism. "Actually, they've been trying to find me these past few days."
"Now that you've caused such a big commotion, you're probably on your way by now, if nothing unexpected happens."
Jiang Chen raised an eyebrow slightly; this saved him some trouble.
He took out a black USB drive and handed it to Attorney Luo.
"This is surveillance footage from before Ai Yi disappeared. Li Lianying is in it. Give this to her so that the Four Spirits Clan knows that the Green Zombie Tai Sui has returned. I'm entrusting this to you."
He never intended to deal with the Four Spirits Clan from the beginning.
Because Cat Lord doesn't want to have any contact with the Four Spirits Clan, and there seems to be a complicated and unresolved feud between him and the Four Spirits Clan.
Therefore, it's best to avoid meeting for the time being. Let Li Lianying and the Four Spirits Clan fight amongst themselves, while I can buy myself the most precious time to find Ai Yi's whereabouts.
"No problem." Attorney Luo put away the USB drive and nodded solemnly. "Leave it to me. If you need any help on your end, just let me know."
"Even if you don't say anything, I won't be polite to you."
After saying this, Jiang Chen turned and walked out of the manor, his figure quickly disappearing into the deep night.
Attorney Luo then called out to Cat, who was a step behind.
"Master Cat, you haven't told Jiang Chen about Tai Sui yet?"
"I will tell him when the time is right, so don't be nosy."
"Master Cat, that's not very nice of you. If I were going to be nosy, I would have said it already. I was just unsure..."
Cat Master understood what Attorney Luo was worried about, and his attitude was to scoff.
"Uncertain about what? Uncertain about his attitude? Well, I can tell you very clearly that his attitude is no attitude at all. He's not going to care."
That's enough for now. Cat Master quickly caught up with Jiang Chen.
He didn't want to put all his eggs in one basket. He wasn't sure how efficient the Four Spirits Clan was, but since they were an official organization, he would refer to the efficiency of official institutions.
Jiang Chen still felt that he couldn't entrust his brother's life entirely to someone else.
So after leaving the manor, Jiang Chen walked quickly along the quiet suburban road, and spoke when Cat Master caught up.
"Master Cat, I have to trouble you one more time."
Upon hearing this, Cat Lord paused, his emerald green eyes revealing a deep, human-like contempt.
"Not again?" Its voice was full of protest. "I'm a civet cat, not a tracking dog. Once or twice is fine, but three times? This is the third time! Can't you respect my status?"
Jiang Chen remained expressionless, his steps unwavering.
"Including Attorney Luo's share, I'll give you three bottles of Moutai after the deal is done."
"..."
Cat's protests stopped abruptly. But then again, practice makes perfect.
"I want Wuliangye, Jiannanchun, Mengzhilan, and Qinghua Fenjiu."
Jiang Chen didn't know much about famous wines, but it didn't matter, as long as Master Cat agreed.
"No problem, whatever you say."
Once the price was agreed upon, Cat began to work diligently, sniffing the air with his cat nose.
A moment later, it stretched out a paw and pointed to the edge of the city, in a more remote direction.
"Go that way. Ai Yi's scent is heading that way, and the deathly aura is very strong there."
Without saying a word, Jiang Chen exerted force with his feet, and like an arrow released from a bow, he sped off in the direction that Cat Master pointed out.
The night wind howled, making his trench coat flutter loudly.
There was not a trace of wavering in his eyes.
Following Cat Master's guidance and combining the surveillance footage of the van that kidnapped Ai Yi with the route it disappeared down, Jiang Chen quickly pinpointed a location.
Dog Head Ridge.
