Han Lang pondered for a moment.
The Zhao family of Xingcheng was still an unreachable behemoth to him.
If Liu Jian truly didn't know their purpose in supporting Wang Shan and Jin Chunfeng, then obtaining information from him that could bring down Wang Shan and Jin Chunfeng was indeed more practical.
With this thought, Han Lang no longer hesitated.
"Alright! Since that's the case, then tell me thoroughly about Wang Shan and Jin Chunfeng. But you need to be careful, if you dare to feed me any more nonsense and waste my time, our previous agreement will be voided!"
Hearing this, Liu Jian dared not be negligent and immediately said.
"According to the Zhao family's orders, Wang Shan operates in the open, and Jin Chunfeng in the shadows. As their hidden special operative, it naturally makes sense for me to stay in the shadows with Jin Chunfeng!"
"Therefore, under normal circumstances, Jin Chunfeng is the only one who contacts me directly. If Wang Shan has any requests, they are usually conveyed through Jin Chunfeng."
"Wang Shan is in the open, and I'm not entirely clear about many of the things he does publicly."
"However, Jin Chunfeng is in the shadows, and I am fully aware of his every move. This is because I have to report their basic situations to the Zhao family periodically!"
"It is precisely for this reason that all of Jin Chunfeng's illegal and criminal activities have been meticulously recorded by me and transmitted back to the Zhao family."
"With this, it should be child's play for you to bring down Jin Chunfeng from a commoner's perspective!"
Han Lang was overjoyed.
"Really? Then where is all that evidence?"
Liu Jian's eyes flickered, and he gestured towards Han Lang with his chin, saying.
"The necklace around my neck is actually just a USB drive. All of Jin Chunfeng's criminal evidence is inside. However, don't blame me for not warning you! While this evidence makes it easy to bring down Jin Chunfeng, if you intend to use it against the Zhao family, I advise you not to invite trouble upon yourself!"
Han Lang ignored Liu Jian's warning and stepped forward, snatching the necklace from him. Confirming it was indeed a USB drive, he was instantly delighted.
However, he questioned verbally, "You're not tricking me, are you? There's no computer here, how would I know if this contains Jin Chunfeng's criminal evidence or some downloads from those adult websites!"
Liu Jian immediately became anxious and quickly explained.
"I guarantee with my life that this thing is absolutely real! Besides, this USB drive is a full 3 terabytes! Even if it's packed with downloads, you won't be at a loss!"
Han Lang couldn't help but swallow.
For a moment, he was actually a little expectant.
But he quickly regained his composure.
"Alright! I'll trust you for now! But I still have one more question!"
Han Lang paused, put away the USB drive, and then continued to ask.
"As far as I know, besides being the king of the underground dark forces in Lecheng, Jin Chunfeng also seems to be involved in treason and betrayal. Do you know about ability users? According to our investigation, Jin Chunfeng should be inextricably linked to ability users. Is this matter also related to the so-called Zhao family of Xingcheng?"
Liu Jian immediately shook his head, "Don't worry about that! The Zhao family, like us, is on the opposite side of ability users. If they collude with ability users, wouldn't that be like lifting a rock only to drop it on their own feet? So, this matter you're talking about must be Jin Chunfeng acting on his own initiative!"
Han Lang nodded without refuting, then asked again, "Do you know if Jin Chunfeng has any unsavory businesses in Leshan County?"
"Leshan County?" Liu Jian murmured, frowning for a moment, then suddenly replied, "I remember! Jin Chunfeng did build a villa in his hometown. However, his hometown is not in Leshan County, but in Jinjiawan, Lexin County, next to Leshan County! It's just that the area is at the border, and it is indeed closer to Leshan County!"
Han Lang was suddenly enlightened.
If Liu Jian's words were true, then the ability user base that he and Tang Qin had suspected Jin Chunfeng of operating was most likely in this so-called rural villa.
No wonder Tang Qin and the special investigation bureau had searched Leshan County so thoroughly without any results. It turned out that Jin Chunfeng's ability user base was not within the scope of Leshan County at all!
Thinking of this, Han Lang's heart surged with excitement.
He busied himself asking again, "Do you know the exact location of the villa?"
Liu Jian shook his head, "No! But a luxury villa built in a village should be easy to find, right?"
Han Lang suddenly nodded and replied to himself, "That's right!"
However, he quickly countered again.
"What else do you know? What about Wang Shan? Since he and Jin Chunfeng are both supported by the Zhao family, their relationship should be good, right? Do you have any criminal evidence regarding Wang Shan?"
"No, no!" Liu Jian hurriedly shook his head. "Wang Shan operates in the open. Even if he sometimes needs special means to achieve his goals, he will definitely do so in a legal and legitimate manner in public! And I just told you, I have no direct contact with Wang Shan myself. How could I possibly keep his criminal evidence?"
"Does he also secretly build bases and modify ability users?"
Liu Jian was speechless, "Brother! I only learned about Jin Chunfeng's involvement with ability users from you, how could I possibly know if Wang Shan secretly built an ability user base? I've said everything I can, shouldn't you now fulfill your promise and let me go?"
Hearing Liu Jian's words, Han Lang finally felt reasonably sure that he had no other secrets.
However…
"Promise? What promise? In the cultivation world, the strong are respected, and the weak are prey. Don't you understand this principle?"
Liu Jian's eyes widened in surprise, and he cursed furiously, "What the hell! Are you planning to go back on your word?"
Han Lang, on the other hand, looked innocent, "I don't have any good character traits of honesty and trustworthiness, so why can't I break my word? Besides, you are my enemy. Letting a tiger return to the mountains would bring endless trouble. Don't you understand this principle? Have you ever studied?"
Liu Jian was furious and immediately cursed at Han Lang.
"Damn your mother, I curse your entire family to have no good..."
Before the last word could be spoken, a whistling golden needle instantly pierced through his forehead. Liu Jian's eyes remained wide open, his mouth agape, and he finally lost all signs of life.
"Tsk tsk tsk… Why say such things? It's inauspicious! As an enemy, giving you a swift end is already doing you a great favor, isn't it?"
Han Lang said, while retrieving the golden needles that had pierced Liu Jian's body one by one.
"Huh! They're all greasy, I'll have to disinfect them properly when I get home!"
With that, he strode out of the underground city!
