Haojiang, a city full of charm.
The reason for describing Haojiang with the word charm is that in this city, regardless of your original identity, whether you are a social elite or an ordinary citizen, rich or poor…
Just by throwing in a small chip, the gears of fate will start to turn, changing your original life trajectory.
In Haojiang, one moment in heaven, one moment in hell, stories of becoming rich and famous overnight and losing all your fortune overnight are almost constantly replaying.
A famous saying from the Thousand Doors Blue Path goes: If you hate someone… bring him to Haojiang!
March 5, 2009, 9:32 PM.
After a day and a night of tireless hard work, I appeared in Haojiang with Camel.
The moment the boat docked, dragging my extremely tired and numb body, I stepped onto the pier.
After my feet touched the ground, the first thing I said was: "I swear, even if you beat me to death… I will never take a boat again in my life!!!"
Hearing this, Camel replied in a tone devoid of any emotion, word by word: "No, you will still take boats!"
I really wanted to refute Camel, but the words wouldn't come out.
This was because I knew in my heart that he was telling the truth.
Under the predicament of being surrounded, there was only one way to minimize being pursued and intercepted in real-time, and that was to take a boat.
Compared to airplanes and cars, the biggest advantage of traveling by water is the ability to create a time difference.
Because only by smuggling can you leave as soon as you pay, and you can leave whenever you want.
So, even if the enemy regains track of you, as long as you get on the boat and go out to sea, they can only watch you drift away, and things like calling for reinforcements to intercept you simply don't exist!
…
After landing and finding a hotel to check in, I took out my phone and called Cheng Minglang.
On the phone, I clearly informed him that I had arrived in Haojiang, and I also instructed him to tell the truth if He Guan asked about me.
Although he didn't quite understand my intentions, Cheng Minglang agreed.
After a few pleasantries and bidding farewell, I hung up the phone.
After hanging up the phone, I immediately sent messages to Jiang Xiaowan and Yu Shuang.
I told them that because Xiao Tianci wanted to kill me, I had no choice but to leave the Longxi area.
In addition, I subtly pointed out the matter of the Thousand King Token's ownership.
In the messages, I told Jiang Xiaowan and Yu Shuang respectively that because they had provided me with timely help and support in Longxi, I couldn't make a decision about the ownership of that half Thousand King Token at the time.
Now, as long as either of them finds me first and helps me escape Xiao Tianci, I will give that half Thousand King Token to them.
This is not a scheme of "two peaches killing three warriors," but rather fishing.
Using He Guan as bait, I first wanted to lure out the problematic person between Jiang Xiaowan and Yu Shuang!
He Guan thought that by giving me some true-and-false information, he could gain my trust, which was too wishful thinking.
The reason I chose to believe him at the time was due to the urgent situation.
Since I asked Camel to contact someone yesterday to smuggle me to Haojiang, and looking back at the events of the past period, I have figured out many problems.
Putting aside the strangeness of his appearance at Ge Village, the information about Jiang Xiaowan and Yu Shuang that I heard from Xiao Tianci was simply unrealistic.
If I were Xiao Tianci, facing someone I considered a scapegoat, I would never tell them so much.
The reason big shots are big shots is because the people around them can't see through them, don't know what they're thinking, let alone try to extract information!
Therefore, whoever appears in Haojiang first between Jiang Xiaowan and Yu Shuang is the one who has ulterior motives towards me!
As long as this point is confirmed, it doesn't matter if the other party has colluded with Xiao Tianci, I will definitely not hand over the half Thousand King Token I have to this person!
Don't blame me for thinking of people's hearts so complicatedly; if a person doesn't look out for themselves, heaven and earth will destroy them!
To save my life, to survive as much as possible and then avenge the innocent dead, I must use everything I can use!
…
As it turned out, my deduction was correct.
He Guan was indeed a pawn that one of Jiang Xiaowan and Yu Shuang had planted in Longxi Blue Path in advance.
As for who that person is, you will find out as you continue reading.
On the night we arrived in Haojiang, Camel and I had just left the hotel to eat at a nearby food stall when we noticed something was wrong.
"Chen Xiang!!!"
A sinister male voice rang out, and before I could turn around, I felt a pistol pressed against the back of my head.
"Long time no see!"
As the person spoke again, the pistol at the back of my head silently moved to my forehead.
Upon closer inspection, it was Shi Jianguo!
What I found strange was that although Shi Jianguo's face was ferocious, his right hand holding the gun was trembling uncontrollably.
Seeing that my gaze was fixed on his hand, Shi Jianguo gritted his teeth and said, "What? Don't you remember what you did?"
"I'm sorry, I don't understand what you're talking about!" I spread my hands, feigning ignorance.
"Heh heh~" After a cold laugh, Shi Jianguo said in a deep voice, "Since you don't remember what you did, I'll help you recall it properly!"
"Seven or eight months ago, in Wenzhou, on a dark night, you had a shootout with Luo Qiwén. As soon as you escaped, you were blocked by a group of people."
"You used your pure steel flying discs to sever someone's tendons, and that person… was me!!!"
As soon as Shi Jianguo finished speaking, the fragmented memories buried deep in my mind immediately flashed like a revolving lantern, one after another…
Until finally, it froze on the bloody night of the shootout with Luo Qiwén, blinded by the bright headlights of several cars.
So that's how it is!
"Heh heh!"
After clarifying the scene from that night, I chuckled and, without saying another word, lifted my clothes.
"Improvised explosive device!"
Shi Jianguo, who had been looking ferocious, immediately frowned.
Seeing me calmly take out the remote control, after a flicker of fear crossed his eyes, Shi Jianguo said with a cold smile, "I never thought, Chen Xiang, that you would carry explosives with you!"
"But, do you dare to press the remote control?"
Hearing this, I chuckled and retorted, "Why wouldn't I dare? Since you dare to draw a gun in public, why shouldn't I detonate explosives in public?"
The moment my voice fell, a cold wind that had flowed back with the return of spring suddenly swept in.
The wind rose, Haojiang…
