Chapter 610: Chapter 610: Varied Calculations_1

After Su Chengyu left, Shen Junrou hurriedly packed her belongings, then made a trip to the bank. She didn’t usually spend much, and had saved some money over the years. She withdrew half of her savings and delivered it to the home of the late Aunt Sun as a contribution to her elderly husband.

After delivering the money, Shen Junrou hailed a taxi to the train station. She had no destination in mind, and no plan. She approached the ticket window and bought a ticket for the next departing train, intending to find her way in an unfamiliar city.

In the Zhuo Family mansion, the butler, upon receiving the news, immediately reported to Zhuo Qian, the Family Head.

"Family Head, we just received news that Shen Yongji was killed, right at the entrance of the Shen Mansion."

"Who did it? Who dares to be so bold?" Zhuo Qian was taken aback and quickly pressed for more information.

The butler answered, "It was Su Cheng."

"Su Cheng again? He just exterminated the Jin family, and now he’s causing trouble with the Shen family! What exactly is he trying to do? Did the Shen family attempt to steal his secret formula?" Zhuo Kun chimed in.

"The exact reason is still unclear. I’ve sent someone to investigate and we should get a more accurate report soon," said the butler.

"This Su Cheng is really audacious. He has annihilated two major families consecutively. If he dares to show up at the appraisal meeting tomorrow, we must not let him escape. Otherwise, it would be like releasing a tiger back into the mountains, creating endless trouble," Zhuo Qian said with narrowed eyes. Zhuo Kun assured," Don’t worry, big brother, we have everything prepared! Our ancestress will personally take action, and he can’t possibly escape even if he had wings."

The news of Shen Yongji’s death spread quickly through Suifeng, creating shockwaves of surprise. In just a few days, the Jin family was annihilated and the Shen family, although not completely wiped out, suffered heavy blows. These were the two major Martial Arts families of Danyang.

In the Danyang Dragon Soul Department, a junior officer informed Guo Yijian of the recent events involving the Shen family. After listening, Guo Yijian asked, "I told you to look into this Su Cheng, how’s that going?"

"So far, there’s not much information available, we couldn’t find anything about his background or his martial arts sect. However, he suddenly rose to prominence in Jiangdong not long ago. He collaborated with Qin Siyuan of the Jiangdong Dragon Soul Department to destroy the Black Dragon Commerce Association’s influence in Jiangdong, killing the third and fourth ranked members of the association. He’s now on their kill list."

"It is indeed strange that Qin Siyuan cooperated with him. After stirring up trouble in Jiangdong, he’s come to Danyang to create chaos. This youngster is quite a handful," mused Guo Yijian as he drummed his fingers on the table, narrowing his eyes as if in deep thought.

"There’s another piece of potential news, but we have yet to confirm. The second-ranked member of the Black Dragon Commerce Association, Mao Taixi, was visiting the Shen family today when Shen Yongji was killed. Given that Su Cheng clearly has a grudge against the Black Dragon Commerce Association, it’s likely that Mao Taixi won’t get out alive. Furthermore, it seems Mao Taixi’s son was murdered today and the murderer is confirmed to be Su Cheng," continued the junior officer.

"Three of the four senior members of the Black Dragon Commerce Association have been wiped out already. Interesting! Chairman Xiang must be fuming," Guo Yijian chuckled.

"Grand Airspace Officer, you and Chairman Xiang are pretty close, no? Since Su Cheng has come to Suifeng, why don’t you kill him and call it a favour to Chairman Xiang?" the junior officer asked.

Guo Yijian merely smiled without making his stance clear. "You go ahead and compile these pieces of information and report to Grand Airspace Officer Liang. Let’s follow his instructions. Also, immediately confirm whether Mao Taixi was killed in the Shen family’s residence!"

Upon hearing the instructions, the junior officer left Guo Yijian’s study. Guo Yijian got up and started pacing around his study. After making a few rounds, he received a call confirming Mao Taixi’s death. Guo Yijian then picked up his phone and dialed a number.

"Chairman Xiang, how have you been recently?"

"Everything’s fine. I’m surprised to receive a call from you today, Grand Airspace Officer Guo," Xiang Yuesheng replied on the other end of the line.

"I heard that your Black Dragon Commerce Association has seen better days. Your two disciples had their heads chopped off, and the branch in Jiangdong was completely destroyed. But you, Chairman Xiang, remain as steady as Mount Tai. I admire your composure!" Guo Yijian teased.

"That did indeed happen, but it’s merely a setback. It doesn’t undermine the foundation of my Black Dragon Commerce Association. The instigator is nothing more than a clown who will someday fall into my hands. I’ll have him drawn and quartered. But I appreciate your concern, Grand Airspace Officer Guo," Xiang Yuesheng replied.

"I’ve just received some unpleasant news, Chairman Xiang, would you like to hear it?"

"Don’t beat around the bush, Grand Airspace Officer Guo, just come out with it. Otherwise, there’s no need for this call," Xiang Yuesheng said.

Direct to the point, Guo Yijian said, "Your second disciple, Mao Taixi, is dead."

"Impossible!" Xiang Yuesheng instinctively refuted.

"It’s a fact. He was in Suifeng visiting the Shen family today. He and his son, Mao Xingren, are both dead."

On the other end of the line, Xiang Yuesheng stayed silent for a while, presumably overwhelmed by shock and fury.

"How did they die?" Xiang Yuesheng asked, his voice filled with icy rage and boiling anger.

"They were killed by the clown you mentioned," Guo Yijian replied succinctly.

"Su Cheng?!"

"Yes."

"Good! He killed not just my two Direct Disciples but also Mao Taixi. Dammit, he’s despicable! He deserves to die!"

Xiang Yuesheng was shaking with rage. Ever since he rebuilt the Black Dragon Commerce Association, he has faced many difficulties and countless men have been injured, even killed. But at this stage, his association has dominated the Four Provinces of Longjiang and this incident felt like a slap in his face.

Three consecutive slaps in his face at that! Given Xiang Yuesheng’s current status, how could he tolerate such behavior!

Guo Yijian listened to Xiang Yuesheng’s fury over the phone, a smile spreading across his face.

"Chairman Xiang, calm down. This young man should still be in Suifeng. If you act now, you might have a chance to catch him and personally take your revenge. If you are too late, he may slip away again, this rascal is quite cunning," Guo Yijian advised.

Xiang Yuesheng, being the wise man he is, could easily see Guo Yijian’s intentions with the call, and said, "Grand Airspace Officer Guo, we have a long-established relationship, so there’s no need to beat around the bush. At the moment, I can’t leave to personally handle this. Even if I could, I’d likely need your help. So, here’s my proposition: you help me catch this man, dead or alive, and I will reward you handsomely."

Guo Yijian seemed hesitant and replied, "Given that this brat dared to provoke the Black Dragon Commerce Association, he must be confident, and probably has a significant backing. I’d rather not cause trouble for myself."

"Let’s not mince words, Guo, just name your price," Xiang Yuesheng responded, understanding Guo Yijian’s intention.

"Since you’re so eager, Chairman Xiang, I’ll assist for old time’s sake. I’ve heard you possess the Ziyang Pill. I would like to request a few," Guo Yijian replied with a chuckle.

There was sudden silence from Xiang Yuesheng on the other end of the phone, he didn’t immediately agree. Clearly, Guo Yijian’s request was not easy for Xiang Yuesheng to fulfill!
