259: Chapter 255 Colleagues 259: Chapter 255 Colleagues After chatting with his nephew for a while, Jiang Limin finally left.

Within less than ten minutes, Murakami Taro and Ono Sari, who had left a while ago, reappeared at the entrance of Jiang Zhendong’s quadrangle dwelling.

Murakami, Miss Ono, please come in, please come in!”

The previously listless Jiang Zhendong now seemed to be fully revitalized.

He was brimming with energy and ushered Murakami Taro and his companion into the living room.

“Young Master Jiang, with your uncle gone, it’ll be much easier for us to converse, don’t you think?” Murakami Taro said with a chuckle.

Earlier, before leaving, he had covertly communicated with Jiang Zhendong while Jiang Limin was not paying attention.

Although it hadn’t been convenient to speak freely under those circumstances, Jiang Zhendong must have been well aware that they intended to return.

“The two of you, let’s not beat around the bush.

I want Chen Hai dead!”

“I just want to know, if you help me with this task, what price do I need to pay on my end?”

With a somewhat ferocious look, Jiang Zhendong stared directly at the two in front of him, getting straight to the point.

“Young Master Jiang, you’re being too formal with these remarks.”

“With Senior Sister Ono’s status in the Cultivation World, ordinary people, even if wealthy, couldn’t even begin to ask for her help.”

“After hearing about the injustice you’ve faced, I notified Senior Sister Ono immediately to come to Yanhuang Country, without ever thinking about any compensation.”

“We simply hope to forge a friendship with you, Young Master Jiang.”

“Friends help each other out, isn’t that normal?”

Wearing a refreshingly warm smile, Murakami Taro spoke calmly and unhurriedly.

His willingness to help Jiang Zhendong was solely based on the value of his identity.

As he saw it, having this man in his grip was worth more than any reward.

At this moment, he naturally chose his words for their appeal.

The potential drawbacks and negative implications of befriending him were matters for the future, and he felt no need to rush.

Murakami, Miss Ono, we are indeed friends!”

“As friends, it’s quite normal to offer one another assistance.”

With a laugh, Jiang Zhendong cheerfully responded.

He was someone who spent years wearing a mask; how could he not guess what these two Japanese had in mind!

However, he didn’t see this as an issue at all.

Once he entrusted the matter of Chen Hai’s demise to the two Japanese in front of him, he would immediately board a plane back to the USA.

These two intended to hold a grip over him, to manipulate him?

Fine, let him first get to the USA, and then deal with them!

“In two days, I will provide you with some information on Chen Hai.”

“I will also ensure his whereabouts are thoroughly investigated!”

“After all this is clear, I’ll leave the matter of dealing with Chen Hai up to you two!”

Contemplating for a moment, Jiang Zhendong spoke again, his mind racing with thoughts.

Murakami Taro was, after all, a military officer from the Japanese embassy, and he was merely acting as a go-between to invite Ono Sari over.

Certain actions, he definitely couldn’t undertake personally.

In the Capital City, she surely was a stranger in a strange land.

The matter of Chen Hai’s information and whereabouts naturally had to be solved by Jiang Zhendong himself.

“Young Master Jiang, once the information is in our hands and your message has no issues,”

“In no more than three days, Chen Hai will certainly be dead.”

Still with her usual cold demeanor, Ono Sari seldom spoke but assured him with her promise.

The discussion had reached such an extent, and both parties had somewhat come to a mutual understanding.

Ten minutes later, Murakami Taro and Ono Sari left the courtyard, and in the blink of an eye, they were no longer in sight.

Capital City, outskirts, Little Golden Mountain.

This region was desolate and solitary, forming a stark contrast with the bustling center of the Capital City.

The hills, resembling large steamed buns, were neither majestic nor precipitous.

Yet this area was overgrown with shrubbery and a green canopy of trees.

Originally, this place was scattered with a dozen or so residents.

However, once the military took control of the region, all these residents had already been relocated elsewhere.

Departing from West Mountain Villa, Chen Hai took a two to three hours’ drive in a military vehicle provided by Ye Cheng and others to reach the destination.

The defensive measures of this area were extremely strict, with guards posted every three steps and sentries every five.

Chen Hai watched a platoon of fully armed soldiers patrolling the vicinity.

What was originally a fairly relaxed atmosphere made even Chen Hai unavoidably tense.

Led by Ye Cheng and a few others, it took about ten minutes before Chen Hai and his group finally stepped into a sizable military tent.

In this tent, Ye Cheng’s military rank was not the highest.

Glancing around, Chen Hai saw at least two individuals whose ranks exceeded that of Ye Cheng.

Additionally, there was an amiable-looking Taoist with white hair and a toothless old woman, both seated within the tent.

Compared to the military personnel around them, these two stood out in stark incongruity.

“Ye, is this the expert you have invited?”

As soon as Ye Cheng led Chen Hai into the tent, the seven or eight people inside immediately fixed their eyes upon the two of them.

The man who spoke looked to be in his forties or fifties, obviously much older than Ye Cheng.

As for this person’s military rank and position—due to widely known reasons—they’re somewhat indescribable.

“Yes, this is my brother-in-law, Chen Hai!” ʀᴇᴀᴅ ʟᴀᴛᴇsᴛ ᴄʜᴀᴘᴛᴇʀs ᴀᴛ 𝘯𝘰𝘷𝘦𝘭⟡𝘧𝘪𝘳𝘦⟡𝘯𝘦𝘵

“Don’t be fooled by his young age, he’s quite skilled at dealing with strange and peculiar situations.”

“You should be aware of, and have heard about, the incident where my sister was afflicted with yin snake gu.”

“It was only with Chen Hai’s help that we were able to resolve it successfully!”

While pointing at Chen Hai beside him, Ye Cheng introduced him to the few colleagues within the tent.

“Chen Hai, this is Fang, who is fully in charge here.”

While introducing Chen Hai to his colleagues, Ye Cheng naturally didn’t forget to introduce the identities and titles of the people inside.

However, when his gaze fell on the Taoist and the old woman, he stopped and did not continue his introductions.

Neither did Ye Cheng know their identities.

They were not present when he had previously left.

“This is Taoist Hu from Qingyang Taoist Temple, this is Old Mrs.

“Both of them have some reputation in their respective regions.”

“Considering that this time, the entity we face is rather unusual, while you went to invite your brother-in-law, I had someone invite them over as well!”

Fang, who was standing by, smiled softly and explained to both Ye Cheng and Chen Hai.

“Gentlemen, my abilities are just some mystical trickery!”

“On ordinary days, I might fool some old men and women, but I’m powerless against what you’re facing.

I truly can’t handle it!”

Upon seeing everyone’s eyes turning to him, the Taoist complained bitterly with a grimace.

It seemed that his presence here was, perhaps, not of his own volition.

As for the old woman next to him, her gaze was clouded and murky, she had given Chen Hai a few extra glances when he entered.

After those few glances, however, she closed her eyes slightly and began to doze off again.

Whether these two could be of any help with the unknown entity, not just others, but even Chen Hai himself was somewhat skeptical.

“Chen Hai, we’re already here.

Didn’t you say that you might be able to divine something with your divination?”

“While it’s still light, why don’t you do a divination now to see what we’re dealing with?”

Ye Cheng seemed to be growing impatient.

He had only been in the tent for a few minutes when he started to urge Chen Hai.
