Liu Shu quickly looked at Gao Song and saw that he was clearly thinking. He quickly smiled and said, "Mr. Gao, I have put in a lot of effort for our Xie family. You won't really hand me over to someone with unknown origins, right?"
Gao Song looked at the thin man in front of him. The cripple had a little influence in the lower city. When the Xie family wanted to scrape him out at first, they encountered a lot of resistance.
Gao Song approached several street thugs in the downtown area to inquire, but these people seemed to have received favors from the cripple and were unwilling to reveal anything.
No matter how Gao Song threatened or bribed them, no one gave in. Just when Gao Song didn't know how to continue the investigation, the man named Liu Shu came to him.
He claimed that he knew the whereabouts of the cripple, and as long as the Xie family could give him a job, he was willing to take Gao Song to find the cripple.
The result speaks for itself.
Now seeing that Tianyang wanted someone, Gao Song weighed it over in his mind and made a decision immediately.
"He is yours." Gao Song pushed Liu Shu out. Considering the choice between a possibly high-ranking expert and a lackey, anyone who is not a fool would know which one to choose.
Liu Shu immediately screamed: "Gao, you are a jerk, you are destroying the bridge after crossing it, do you still have any moral principles?"
Gao Song sneered, turned around, and left with a group of people.
Immediately, only Liu Shu was left around.
But after Gao Song and the others left, men came out from the house and bar next door.
These men stared at Liu Shu like wolves and gradually approached. If Tian Yang had not been still standing there, they might have pounced on him and tore Liu Shu to pieces.
In the grocery store, the lame man opened the door and limped out.
Liu Shu immediately knelt down in front of Tian Yang, hugged the boy's feet and shouted: "Sir, please save me! I, Liu Shu, am willing to serve you, as long as you are willing to save my life."
Tianyang sneered behind his mask and kicked Liu Shu on the shoulder, and the man rolled out immediately.
The young man made way and nodded to the cripple: "I'll go first."
The lame man nodded and said, "Thank you for your help."
Tianyang then left.
The wolves finally surrounded them.
A burly man with fiery red hair looked at the lame man and asked, "What do you say?"
"You guys can handle it." After saying that, the lame man walked back to his grocery store.
The men were rubbing their fists together, and the red-haired man cracked his fists loudly: "Liu Shu, you are also from the Lower City. You should know that none of us are good people."
"But we in the Lower City have some rules. We will never work for people in the Upper City. Because those people treat us like dogs and slaves, so we would rather die than work for those grown men."
"Now you have broken the rules and sold the cripple. You are so good."
"Brother Huolong, I was wrong. I was really wrong." Liu Shu cried with snot and tears. "I was bewitched. You and the brothers, please forgive me this time."
The man called the Fire Dragon laughed: "Why don't you just take a piss and look at yourself? What qualifications do you have for us to let you go?"
"Do it."
At Huolong's command, a dozen strong men came over. What made Liu Shu even more desperate was that there were dozens of men outside who blocked the street.
These people had no intention of letting him leave!
... ...
Sitting in the carriage of the city train, I have taken off my mask.
Tianyang, who was in charge, sent a text message to Han Shu using the communicator: It has been done, but it involves the Xie family, and the lame man may still be in trouble.
Not long after, Han Shu replied: What? Xie family? Damn it, these bastards from the Xie family, they can't be happy if they don't make trouble every day or two, right? Okay, leave this matter to me.
Tianyang smiled slightly. Previously in Huanggu Town, Xie Miao and the two people from the Dragon Hunting Team deliberately discredited the Raven Team. After Han Shu learned about this, he ran directly to Fengbao's camp to settle accounts with Xie Hong.
It was unclear what exactly happened. Tianyang only knew that there was chaos in the Storm Camp that day, and even Lingfeng rushed there.
When Han Shu came back, he had a smile on his face and said that the Xie family was in trouble. He probably let the captain take advantage of the situation and take revenge on them severely.
Now the matter of the cripple is related to the Xie family, so it's no wonder that Han Shu is angry. I don't know how he will deal with it next.
Of course, that’s none of Tianyang’s business.
When they were about to arrive in the upper city, Tianyang was admiring the beautiful scenery of the sea and sky outside the window, and suddenly he felt like someone was watching him.
Although this feeling was fleeting, the boy would never treat it as an illusion. He remained calm, pretending not to notice it, and got off the train calmly when it arrived at the station.
The station in the upper city is neat and clean, and people come in and out in an orderly manner. It is completely different from the lower city.
Tianyang was walking at a normal speed in the corridor inside the station. When he turned a corner, he suddenly stopped and then hid behind a sign nearby.
Soon a man turned around and although he had changed his clothes, his unkempt appearance still reminded him of his appearance.
It turned out to be the man who followed Tianyang in the downtown area!
He looked around, trying to find Tianyang, but someone behind him suddenly whispered, "Who are you?"
This man also reacted very quickly, and wanted to sprint the moment he heard the sound. But a sharp signal came from behind, and the man had to give up the idea.
The narrow sword had been unsheathed at some point, and the tip of the sword was against the man's back, but it was blocked by Tianyang's windbreaker. Passersby only saw the two men standing very close to each other, but were unaware of the tense atmosphere between them.
"Sir, you must have misunderstood." The sloppy man smiled bitterly, "I'm just passing by, please put your weapon away."
Tian Yang had a blank expression on his face: "I have already found you in the lower city, don't try to deny it."
"I'm not denying it, and there's nothing to deny. I just came back from downtown. Maybe you really met me, but it was definitely just a coincidence."
"Yeah?"
Tian Yang suddenly raised his voice: "So that's how it is. Did that person send you to follow me?"
Passersby looked at him, including the sloppy man. Tianyang's words left them confused.
But soon, the sloppy man seemed to understand something and his expression changed.
Tian Yang said softly: "Not long ago, my apartment was invaded by someone. That person should be you, right?"
The scruffy man tried to keep smiling: "I don't know what you are talking about."
Tianyang didn't care about him. He pushed him gently with the tip of the knife and pressed his shoulder with his other hand. The two of them walked towards a less crowded passage.
"Don't play dumb. I found some sand on the balcony. The sand has a high salt content and is obviously from the seaside. Your clothes smell like the sea, which means you often live in the bay and near the sea, which means you live outside the fortress."
The sloppy man trembled slightly and shook his head, "This is a misunderstanding, absolutely a misunderstanding!"
Tian Yang raised his lips: "At that time, I also found that you were looking for something in my apartment. This made me wonder how someone who had lived outside the fortress for many years could get in."
"Moreover, he was able to enter the upper city and break into the apartment of a lieutenant. So I guess there might be someone behind this person manipulating all this. And that person must be a powerful figure, otherwise he would not be able to assist an outsider in doing these things."
A drop of cold sweat appeared on the sloppy man's face.
"Since you are just being ordered around, will the other party send someone else to monitor you? If he knew what I just said, do you think he would trust you again?"
The sharpness behind it disappeared.
The sloppy man turned around carefully and saw that Tianyang had already retracted his dagger. His face was calm, as if he was not afraid that he would take the opportunity to escape.
Tianyang was indeed not afraid. The words he had just spoken in a louder voice had already tied this man to himself.
Even if we let him go now, he won't leave.
Because if he left, he might be killed. If he cooperated with me, he would have a chance to survive.
As expected, the slovenly man smiled bitterly and sighed, "Are all the lieutenants of Night Walker such powerful characters?"
Tian Yang shook his head: "I am just the most ordinary one among them. There are many who are better than me."
"You're too modest." The slovenly man sat down on a chair nearby. "Lieutenant Tianyang, my name is Hebi, and I used to be a sheriff in Iron Wall."
"I'm ready to listen to the story." Tianyang sat down next to him.
Hebi took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, lit it and started smoking: "Actually the story is not complicated. I made a mistake and was expelled from the fortress. But my family still lives here, so I can't bear to leave."
"So you live in the bay not far from here?"
Hebi nodded: "More or less. In order to make a living, I occasionally work as a gold digger. Don't look at me like this, I am still a Level 2 Ascendant."
"I know." Tian Yang had not forgotten that this man escaped right under his nose. That kind of skill was simply not something an ordinary person could possess.
Why blow out a smoke ring: "Anyway, I take any job. Someone found me not long ago and gave me a job."
"Is it about me?"
Hebi nodded and said, "Yes, he wants the diary in your hand. It's the one you brought out from the storage store."
Su Lie's diary!
Tianyang was shocked. Sure enough, someone was investigating Su Lie. Could it be those so-called "seniors" back then
Could it be that they are looking for the compass of disaster
"Who is that person?" Tianyang asked in a deep voice.
He Bi stroked his chin and said, "The man who asked me to work is called Qiu He. He is a middleman who specializes in connecting people like us with employers. As for my employer, I don't know who he is, but I know he is a big shot."
"Because he promised that if I could do this for him, he would help me send my wife and children to live in the upper city."
Tianyang thought to himself, "As expected", anyone who can accomplish such a thing must be a powerful person.
He thought for a moment and asked, "Where can I find Qiu He?"
He Bi shook his head: "It's useless. Qiu He is using a dedicated platform to contact these employers. That platform uses an anonymous login method. Even if you kill Qiu He, he won't know the employer's information."
Tianyang frowned. Wouldn’t this mean that the clue was lost
