Chapter 1386: Chapter 1386

Tang Ming immediately became tense.

"But Wangjiao Town is an ominous place, it has been deserted for many years now, I don’t know if you can still find it."

Mr. Zhou looked at Tang Ming with concern, "If we’re talking about a decade or so ago, Wangjiao Town was quite bustling, but at some point, all kinds of news about the town disappeared, along with Wangjiao Town itself."

"How can a nice little town just disappear?"

Tang Ming asked in disbelief.

"It’s not truly disappeared, but rather abandoned, with no one there. Moreover, Wangjiao Town is located in a remote area, making access extremely inconvenient, so now not many people know about the town’s existence."

Mr. Zhou explained helplessly.

"Do you know its exact location?"

Upon hearing this, Tang Ming felt a little disheartened, but he still didn’t want to give up.

"I do know the location, I can draw you a simple map. As long as you follow the map, you can get there. However, I’m not sure if there’s still a town there now, it might have turned into ruins long ago."

Mr. Zhou immediately picked up pen and paper to start drawing a map.

"Grandpa Zhou, how long will it take me to drive there?"

Tang Ming asked uncertainly.

"Driving? Are you kidding me?"

Mr. Zhou looked up at Tang Ming, smiling: "Look, this is Provincial Road 456, you can only drive to this point, then climb over a small mountain, enter the back of Lao Jun Mountain, walk through the forest for three or four hours, and finally follow a river as vast as the sea upstream to reach Wangjiao Town."

"Damn, this place is in the unopened areas of Lao Jun Mountain?"

Tang Ming was startled, having experienced so many things, he had come to see Lao Jun Mountain as an ominous place for him.

Every time something happened, it was near Lao Jun Mountain, making Tang Ming start to get scared.

Mr. Zhou nodded, regretfully saying: "Originally, some hunters living there made their living by hunting, but with the development of the times, people from the town have gradually left the desolate mountains for employment opportunities outside. Those with the ability have taken their families out, and those without ability absolutely wouldn’t return. Over the years, the town has declined in this way."

Tang Ming carefully put away the map, gratefully looking at Mr. Zhou: "Thank you, Grandpa Zhou, I really appreciate it."

"No problem, it’s my duty! By the way, what are you planning to do there?"

Mr. Zhou looked at Tang Ming, puzzled.

"It’s a long story, I’ll explain it to you once I come back."

After sorting out the map, Tang Ming immediately got up to leave.

"It’s about to get dark, you’re not planning to head there tonight, are you?"

Mr. Zhou quickly called out to Tang Ming: "The desolate mountains and forests are extremely dangerous at night, and it’s easy to get lost."

"Don’t worry, I can handle it."

Tang Ming smiled, eager to leave the Zhou Family.

Neither Tang Ming nor Mr. Zhou noticed that while they were discussing, a servant had been wiping things in the study, and after Tang Ming left, this servant also left the study, passing the message along.

This person was originally planted by Hao Jian during Zhou Xianren and his son’s coup, supposed to monitor Zhou Xianren and Yang Family affairs, yet unexpectedly played a crucial role today.

As Tang Ming was driving towards Lao Jun Mountain, Hao Jian and Yan Qinglong gathered in a spacious and bright room, discussing the plan to assassinate Tang Ming.

"Chief Yan, I’ve already informed you about Tang Ming’s whereabouts. He’s heading to that place called Wangjiao Town, having left the city district of Songlan. What do you plan to do?"

Hao Jian, holding a wine glass, curiously asked Yan Qinglong, who was sprawled on the table studying a map.

"Naturally, find an opportunity to bomb him."

Yan Qinglong replied, then raised his head: "What’s Tang Ming going to do in Wangjiao Town? It’s not even on the map. If it weren’t for your informant hearing the route map, we wouldn’t even know this place exists."

"Why should you care what he’s going to do, as long as he’s out of the city limits of Songlan City, we can safely bomb him."

Hao Jian said disapprovingly, shrugging.

"You make it sound easy. But Tang Ming is a Nine-star Martial Master, monitoring his movements isn’t something ordinary people like us can manage."

Yan Qinglong rolled his eyes at Hao Jian and continued studying the map: "Given his speed, running through the forest, even a drone wouldn’t be able to catch up."

"Then what should we do? You asked me to help track Tang Ming’s movements, I’ve done that. And now you’re telling me we can’t make a move, are you messing with me?"

Hao Jian immediately became irritated upon hearing this.

"I never said we can’t make a move,"

Yan Qinglong kept his head down, focusing intently on the map: "Only that we can’t act while he’s moving."

"Then what exactly do you mean?"

Hao Jian asked Yan Qinglong in confusion.

"Since he’s heading to that Wangjiao Town place, we’ll make our move at the destination. No matter how fast he is, he has to stop at the destination."

Yan Qinglong squinted his eyes, smirking: "Anyway, thanks to your informant, we have the route map, so we’ll head straight to Wangjiao Town, ambush him there, and once he arrives on site, we’ll use the bomb on him, surely we can blow him up."

"Yes, yes, that’s a good idea."

Hao Jian nodded repeatedly, "After he gets off the road, he’ll have to travel on foot, while we can take a helicopter to reach the destination ahead of time and handle him."

"Exactly, otherwise, what do you think I’m researching here?"

Yan Qinglong nodded, then suddenly pointed to a spot on the map: "According to the intelligence route calculations, the destination should be here. We’ll fly over now, find Wangjiao Town’s location ahead of time, and when Tang Ming arrives, it will be his death sentence."

Tang Ming left the Zhou Family and drove straight to Wangjiao Town.

The college entrance exam is tomorrow, he must settle this today. If everything goes smoothly, there’s still time to return for the exam.

If not, then to understand his origins, he must give up the exam.

Following Mr. Zhou’s guidance, after getting out of the car, Tang Ming traversed a challenging mountainous route and finally reached the legendary Wangjiao Town.

"Damn, this is Wangjiao Town?"

Tang Ming stared blankly at the dilapidated village located deep in the mountains.

By now, it was dark, the entire town was pitch black, with not a single house lit.

Tang Ming used his phone’s flashlight to walk into the town, discovering that the houses were very run-down, with ruins and overgrown weeds everywhere. It seemed like no one had lived there for many years.
