Chapter 42: I'm Going to Catch a Ghost

  The night was dark and deep, the car sped along, and at a crossroads on the outskirts of Zhonghai City, it suddenly came to a stop. This place was the dividing line between entering Zhonghai and going to Heishi Town. Shen Qingyang lit a cigarette, took a few puffs, and threw it out the window.

  Yu Bo took a glance at Shen Qingyang, what was this guy thinking about again? Although they hadn't been in contact for long, he had basically grasped some of his ways: not speaking didn't mean he wouldn't kill someone, not smoking didn't mean he wasn't thinking, making him hard to grasp, a complete madman!

  "Is the fox spirit very cunning?" Shen Qingyang suddenly asked.

  Hu Zonghan is very cunning, otherwise he wouldn't have become the manager of Tianze Garden. He's arrogant and domineering! Dumb Uncle knows them too well and has even dealt with them before, but those things can't be said out loud, or else it would mean death, Spring Brother is an example.

  "His city is very deep, his heart is very heavy, second only to Xu Qing Song!"

  Yesterday, the whole day was spent monitoring Tianyuan Garden. Three BMWs followed and tailed them, which was Old Devil's order. Shen Qingyang and Yaobo shared the same view: if there wasn't a street racing incident, the two of them would definitely be chopped, just like what happened to Spring Brother, and they might even get to play a gun battle!

  Shen Qingyang likes gunfights. With this group of turtle-crab-shrimp's tactical literacy, I can play them to death a hundred times!

  "Do you have a grasp on the whereabouts of Gui Hu Li?" Shen Qing Yang's face was stern, he couldn't let Tian Ze Garden chase him all over the world, could he? What kind of Blood Shadow would that be?

  "Hmm! You know a thing or two, little brother. Want to catch ghosts? The Tianyan Alliance has been dormant for ten years, and all the door people have been doing one thing: collecting information, all the information within the Zhonghai region, including both good and evil. Dumb Bai is in charge of a small area: Xiao Si Street!"

  What's on Xiao Si Street? Tianze Garden! That is to say, what Yu Bo is responsible for collecting is all the information about "Tianze Garden", including their power development situation, hotel operation situation, personnel composition situation, business dealings situation, main leaders' activity situation, even their eating, drinking, defecating and sleeping!

  Why collect? Don't know! This is the order of the Second Master, an order from ten years ago, still in effect and being carried out. That's what execution looks like! However, within two days, the Tian Xiang Alliance suffered heavy losses: including Banji, 6 door masters died unjustly! The secret bases on Xiao Si Street and Cao Shi were destroyed.

  This situation was beyond Yu Bo's expectations, everything started with Qi Huan, and it was also due to his own insufficient estimation of the situation and negligence, and he had no preparation for a series of actions in "Tianze Garden", which led to today's situation.

  The Cuixianju in Caoshi, the Yishuizhai near the Zhonghai suburbs, are all secret bases of the Tianxianmeng. This is something that can be figured out with one's toes!

  "Little brother, the cunning rabbit has three burrows, and the lair of the ghostly fox is even more numerous. The suburbs and grass markets all have his dwellings, it's hard to judge where he actually is!" Ah-yi pondered for a moment, Hu Zonghan wasn't that kind of showy person, otherwise he wouldn't have lived this long, he would've been chopped down by someone ten years ago!

  "This is great, one nest at a time!" Shen Qingyang threw away the cigarette butt and suddenly saw two black BMWs rushing over. Hehe, they've come to support us!

  Silently bypassing the intersection, they sped towards the suburbs. First, let's take a look at that "ghost house" opposite Yishui Studio and catch a pig to stir up trouble!

  "What's the relationship between Lao Gui and Xu Laoban?" Shen Qingyang curled his lip: "Don't they always appear together?"

  "Hmm! I've never seen them together before. Xu Qing usually takes care of the business in Hailan, Caoshi and the suburbs, it's Lao Gui who is in charge!"

  "That's great!"

  The car started and drove towards Yishui Zhai after a turn.

  Yu Bo fell silent for a moment, this guy seemed to have gone to find the ghost fox. A gentleman does not take revenge without cause, but now is not the time for revenge. If the Tianyan Alliance had not been secretly hiding without reason, how could the Tiange Garden be so unscrupulous? But then again, when Second Master left from Yi Shui Zhai back then, he had instructed that he would return!

  It's been ten years, and he hasn't returned, not even a word. Rumors spread that the second master is dead, killed by his own brother, no one has seen him or his body, and few of the gate people can hold on, most have gone their separate ways to make a living. Thinking about this, Ah-yi let out a sigh, no one knows where the way out is, not even the old master, the Stealing Heaven Alliance is just a fleeting memory, only existing in memories.

  Yishuizhai small square, the car drove over an arc and stopped.

  "Yu Bo, you stay here!"

  "Do you want to force your way in?" Ah-yi's face changed, this place has tight security, especially with what happened yesterday and the car accident just now, isn't that like jumping into a trap?!

  "It's a raid! We only have ten minutes, now it's 11:30 sharp, be at Yishuizhai on time at 11:45, if I don't see you, I'll leave!" Shen Qing's face with clear-cut features turned icy.

  "I'll go with you on a surprise attack!"

  "Obey orders!" Shen Qingyang looked at Yu Bo coldly: "Without you, I might not have been able to get out, do you understand?"

  Yu Bo naturally understood that after so many years on the road, some sinister people's methods still had some effect. Shen Qingyang meant to let himself respond to him at any time, sometimes this was more important than a surprise attack.

  A knife can kill people, but in a pig's hand it is just an iron bar!

  The street was quiet and deserted. The luxury cars were still in the small square of Tianyuan Garden, and there were apparently more security guards than during the day, a total of 5. Shen Qingyang observed the situation while crossing the street and immediately made a bold decision: free raid!

  What is a free-for-all? It's man-to-man combat, god-to-god combat!

  The luxury car had been parked at the entrance for a day without moving, it seemed that Lao Gui hadn't left yet. Passing by the luxury car, Shen Qingyang pinched his "Chinese standing collar", his right wrist made a few turns, and the soft gloves were put on his hands, the fish-scale leather short knife at his waist was also very handy, his left hand was in his pocket, pulling out five coins, he had already arrived at the middle of the small square.

  "You are..."

  The security guard fell to the ground, his head hitting the floor with a loud thud, and blood splattered more than a meter away. Shen Qingyang's footsteps were quite strange, floating and fluttering as he stepped onto the stairs, and the security guard at the door saw that something was amiss, pulling out a baton and swinging it at Shen Qingyang.

  Shen Qingyang didn't waste any words, and with one kick, he struck his opponent's abdomen. With a swift motion of his left hand, a sharp whistling sound pierced the silence of the square, sending the two approaching men tumbling to the ground. In just over a minute, the security guards outside had finished cleaning up!

  Ambush emphasizes speed, killing speed. Shen Qingyang flashed into the Tianze Garden, a gust of cool wind startled the waiter in the pavilion: "Sir..."

  "Hurry, where is Director Hu? The brothers are in trouble!" Shen Qingyang's voice was urgent.

  "On the fifth floor..."

  Shen Qingyang suddenly turned right and rushed into the fire passage.

  "Sir, there's an elevator!"

  Thanks for the reminder, taking the elevator is like asking to be killed! Shen Qingyang let out a cold laugh and took two steps at a time, reaching the third floor in one breath. At the landing on the third floor, two security guards were leaning against their chairs smoking, and when they saw someone rushing up, they shouted loudly: "What's wrong with you? Manager Hu is playing mahjong!"

  A flash of white light passed by, and the blood flowers floated in the air, turning into a red shadow! The throats of two security guards were pierced, and they died very peacefully!

  This is Blood Shadow!

  There is no fire passage above the third floor, and there's only one dead end ahead! Shen Qingyang took a glance at the elevator and knew that it was set up by Gui Hu Li Jing, or rather, he never took the elevator on the first floor, but this fire passage instead.

  The fox is playing mahjong? Shen Qingyang's heart sank, it seems like there will be a lively show today!

  The warm orange light in the elevator shone softly on the ground, and behind it was a camera. However, Shen Qingyang had entered with his back to the camera, without turning around, his nose pressed against the elevator door, feeling a bit cool.

  The elevator stopped on the fourth floor! I don't know why it stopped on the fourth floor, there's only one possibility: someone is inside! Shen Qingyang pressed against the wall of the elevator and moved quickly to open up an attack point, his muscles tense all over, ready to deliver a fatal blow to his opponent at any moment.

  The light flickered, the door opened, but there was no one. The elevator didn't move. Shen Qingyang's ear was pressed against the wall of the elevator, and chaotic footsteps came from upstairs. Time slowly passed, and the chaotic footsteps had already reached outside the elevator. Two people were coming down from upstairs.

  As soon as the people entered the elevator, Shen Qingyang slipped away unnoticed. The elevator doors closed immediately, and before anyone could react, Shen Qingyang had pressed the button for the first floor just two seconds before they got in. It was simple yet difficult!

  The fourth floor had no guards, this was not a business district, it should be an office area. Shen Qingyang went up to the fifth floor's stairwell, his left hand grasping the hilt of his dagger, his right hand supporting himself against the wall, there were people moving in the corridor, they should be security guards. In two seconds, Shen Qingyang flashed into the corridor, standing directly opposite a person.

  "Who?"

  "I'm a ghost catcher!" Before the words were even out, the other person had already pulled out a gun and pointed it at Shen Qingyang: "Huh? Catch ghosts? I'll blow your damn head off!"

  Shen Qingyang is not afraid of guns!

  "Aren't you a security guard?" Shen Qingyang looked into the other's eyes, with a cunning and ruthless aura, these two guys should be the bodyguards of Gui Hu Li.

  Security guards and bodyguards differ by only one word, but in reality they are vastly different. Bodyguards basically all know martial arts, while security guards basically just scare people.

  Don't know if the opponent's gun is loaded, if not, you have three seconds!

  Gambling!

  Shen Qingyang's right foot slipped, and a coin shot out silently. The hand holding the gun was splattered with blood, Shen Qingyang's body almost slid to his side, his right hand swiped through the air, grabbed the gun, and then kicked him flying, the bodyguard crashing to the ground.

  The sound was not loud, and he hit the wall, and the person immediately lost consciousness.

  Shen Qingyang quickly glanced at the situation in the main building and heard the sound of mahjong coming from his ears. Hehe! As expected, they were playing mahjong, those old guys!

  A whiff of cigar smoke wafted through the corridor, Shen Qingyang's tracking skills weren't great, but in this simple environment, even using his toes he could tell where the target was.

  With one kick, the double wooden door swung open, and a strong scent of smoke wafted out. The room was very large, with wall lamps on, and in the center was an automatic mahjong machine, with four people! The mahjong pieces were still rolling around inside, making clattering sounds. Shen Qingyang walked slowly into the room, and a bloody smell came over him, causing Shen Qingyang to pause for a moment.

  A cool breeze blew in, and the window was half open. There were four people around the mahjong table, all dead! In such a large house, there wasn't a single living person!

  Shen Qingyang's heart sank, and outside came the sharp sound of police sirens. What was going on?

  Shen Qingyang glanced at the people on the table, who were security guards from Tianze Garden. Each of them had a bullet shell nailed to their forehead!

  An extremely terrifying way of death, not shot to death with a gun, but died from being pierced through the skull by a bullet shell. Shen Qingyang jumped to the window in a few steps and looked down, two black shadows flashed by in the backyard.

  "Damn! Has someone gotten ahead or fallen into the sly fox's trap?" It's hard to tell! The sound of police sirens pierced through the night sky, Shen Qingyang didn't hesitate anymore, and scrambled up to the windowsill to take a closer look below. Five-story building, oh no!

  How tall is the five-story building? Close to twenty meters! However, Shen Qingyang wasn't thinking about this. Where did Guihuli's mother run off to? From the scene, the dead person on the table shouldn't be more than ten minutes old, and the blood had just started to coagulate a bit. Someone took Guihuli away before me!

  Return the original route, take the elevator! Shen Qingyang gritted his teeth, no need to take this risk, although he could get down from there, always worried that a "pit" had been dug at the bottom, a few killers were not to be feared, the key was that he hadn't seen anyone's shadow.

  The elevator stopped on the third floor, Shen Qingyang quickly got out and opened the window in the corridor, then jumped down directly. The place where he landed was exactly the backyard of Tianyaze Garden. Before Shen Qingyang could get up, a gust of dark wind swept over from behind him. Shen Qingyang made a fish-like leap, rushing out five or six meters away, rolling on the ground once, his hands propped against the ground, and when he raised his head, two rays of killing intent shot out from his eyes!

  "Haha! Hunter No. 3? That's all?" A strange and eerie laugh echoed from the darkness.

  It's not Tu! Shen Qingyang could tell from his opponent's figure that this guy was shorter than Tu and wasn't Chinese, although he also spoke Mandarin, but with a tone as if someone had dunked his head in water and was shouting for help.

  "You're nothing but a despicable deserter!"
