Let you change the Hongqi h9, not the Hongqi missile vehicle

But this time, Jiang Chen's advantage was not obvious, and his fists began to go numb.

"Hehe, that's natural. I've already made a rough assessment of your strength, and you are indeed very strong."

"But you think you can beat me today? No way."

Upon hearing this, Jiang Chen remained calm and smiled faintly.

"Then give it a try. I'm also very interested to see just how much potential you have."

The two sides clashed again in another thrilling exchange.

This time, the competition will be about physical fitness.

Jiang Chen's attacks followed with a fierce storm.

His hands constantly changed their moves, sometimes forming claws, sometimes fists, and sometimes slaps.

The black-clad captain was caught completely off guard, unable to see the trajectory of Jiang Chen's attacks.

But every time, it hit his vitals.

If it weren't for his exceptional agility and reflexes, he would have already collapsed to the ground.

"What kind of rubbish moves are these?!"

Seeing that Jiang Chen had scratched his shoulder again, the captain in black frowned.

"Hehe, this is the kung fu of our Dragon Kingdom. Haven't you heard of it?"

"The top-notch fighting techniques you've learned are nothing but a piece of cake compared to our kung fu."

Jiang Chen smiled faintly. The move he had just used was called the Hundred Schools Fist.

As the name suggests, it is a set of kung fu created by gathering the essence of thousands of years of history of the Dragon Kingdom.

This set of kung fu contains the essence of hundreds of kung fu styles, bringing together the best of all kung fu types in one.

The most unique aspect of this set of boxing techniques is that it is impossible to predict the trajectory of its attacks.

Each attack will occur in a place that no one expects.

People from abroad, for example, train primarily in top-level combat techniques.

Especially someone like this man in black, who can even cultivate his muscles and bones, is extremely rare.

The fact that he could fight Jiang Chen to such an extent shows that the mysterious organization behind him is indeed powerful, a fact that even Jiang Chen has to admit.

"So, we've fought to this point, do we really want to continue? The outcome is already decided."

"If I had really wanted to kill you just now, you wouldn't have lasted this long."

Jiang Chen gave the other person a cold glance, his previous playful smile completely gone.

Upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, the man in black also sighed.

Now that things have come to this, the outcome is clear, and he is indeed no match for Jiang Chen.

Now that the mission has failed, no matter what happens after I return to the organization, I will no longer be able to survive.

At this moment, he had no other choice.

"Join me, make a fortune, then live a quiet life in anonymity."
"This is the wisest choice you can make right now."

Jiang Chen said calmly that he urgently needed to find out what exactly the Dead Land was and its specific operating mechanism.

He would never allow a place in this world to exist that he knew nothing about.

"I need a large sum of money."

In the end, the man in black relented and slowly spoke.

"Twenty million, one price."

Jiang Chen was generous and didn't hesitate.

Upon hearing this, the man in black's breathing became rapid.

It seems he underestimated the man wearing a mask again.

Twenty million is no small sum for these mercenaries; it's enough for them to squander for a long time.

For Jiang Chen, this intelligence was indeed worthwhile.

“I’m a straightforward person, and I hope you can be just as straightforward. Since you can no longer stay in that organization, you have no other choice now.”

"I'm offering this price because I want to establish a good relationship with you."

Jiang Chen frankly stated his purpose.

He firmly believed in the saying: There are no permanent friends or permanent enemies in the world!
"Great! If what you say is true, I'll consider you my friend."

The man in black nodded in agreement.

"How can I trust you?"

The price offered was indeed tempting, but a verbal promise alone was clearly far from sufficient.

Jiang Chen smiled slightly.

"That's easy, you guys find a place to hide first."

"Keep in touch, but don't use communication tools. I will find you myself when the time comes."

"It'll happen in the next few days."

"You don't need to worry about me going back on my word, because this intelligence is crucial to me, and this will be a win-win situation."

Upon hearing this, the man in black pondered for a moment, and finally nodded helplessly.

"Okay, that's settled."

After the two sides reached an agreement, the men in black left one after another, helping each other along.

Jiang Chen also got into the car.

"What... what's going on? They're gone already?"

Meng Tianshi looked stunned.

"Why didn't you kill them? Why did you give them money instead? What were you thinking? These people are dangerous!"

Meng Tianshi simply couldn't understand Jiang Chen's actions.

Jiang Chen clearly had the ability to kill them, so why did he let them go?
There are still many things you can't understand.

"This matter is complicated, it's best if you don't know. Let me take you home first."

Jiang Chen didn't explain much and drove Meng Tianshi back to the Li family.

"I wonder how Dad and the others are doing. They won't be in any danger since we're back."

Seeing that the other core members of the family had not returned, Meng Tianshi was extremely anxious.

This is not a good sign.

Jiang Chen pondered for a moment.

"It shouldn't be anything serious."

"This time, the Li family is going to deal with your two families."

"The troops are dispersed."

"You are the sole heir of the Meng family, so the main force should be concentrated here with us. The others should not be in too much danger."

"Just wait here patiently. This matter is indeed complicated."

"I'll go and gather some information first, and then I'll tell you about the things behind the three major families."

Upon hearing this, Meng Tianshi nodded in agreement; this was the only option now.

"Jiang Chen, no matter what, I still want to thank you this time."

Meng Tianshi sincerely thanks you.

If it weren't for Jiang Chen's help this time, I would probably be in grave danger.

I never expected the Li family to have such great ambitions, and the power behind them must not be underestimated.

And now, the only one who can investigate this matter is Jiang Chen.

Jiang Chen suddenly moved closer to her.

"Yes, I just realized that I've helped you so much."

"I can't let all this work go to waste. As your husband, shouldn't you do something in return?"

Upon hearing this, Meng Tianshi's face flushed red again, much to her dismay.

"You, didn't I already agree to your condition? What else do you want?"

Jiang Chen grinned mischievously, like a rogue.

"You know, men are all greedy. This time I'm helping you gather information, which is a different matter. I can't just give you this information for free, can I?"

Even so, Meng Tianshi found herself completely under Jiang Chen's control. However, the information Jiang Chen had gathered was indeed crucial to their family.

Meng Tianshi looked at this annoying man helplessly.

"Then what else do you want?"

Jiang Chen brought his face close to her mouth.

"What do you say?"

Sure enough, all men are like this; no matter how outstanding they are, they can't change.

Meng Tianshi looked around and, finding no one, quickly left a kiss mark on Jiang Chen's face.

At this moment, her face was as red as an apple, and she gave Jiang Chen a shy glare.

"Is that alright now? Are you satisfied?"

Jiang Chen looked at her shy appearance with great appreciation.

Who would have thought that the aloof beauty would now reveal such a shy and girlish side?

Simply beautiful.

"Hehe, that's enough, that's enough. You look really beautiful right now. Alright, I'm leaving now."

Having received the benefits, Jiang Chen was not one to push his luck, and quickly drove away.

"Hmph, what an annoying man!"

Meng Tianshi was so angry that she stomped her feet.

Jiang Chen quickly arrived at the outskirts of a city.

This place is at least 20 kilometers away from the city center and is extremely remote, with few people visiting.

Looking around, there was hardly any trace of people, let alone animals.

Jiang Chen didn't discover this place by chance; rather, he learned about the dilapidated and uninhabited houses on the outskirts of the city through his extensive network of contacts.

These places are like secret outposts. They are the perfect choice for those who want to lay low after completing a mission, as there are no surveillance devices or other high-tech monitoring methods, which can perfectly avoid a lot of unnecessary trouble.

Upon arriving at his destination, Jiang Chen pushed open the door and found the house to be in a state of desolation and ruin.

He carefully checked his surroundings again, and only after confirming that no one was following him did he take a bottle of beer and some food out of the car.

Then, he took out his phone and made a call.

Previously, Jiang Chen and Mo Kai had agreed that neither of them needed to know the other's contact information or how to contact the other, and their understanding was perfect.

Mo Kai firmly believed that Jiang Chen would find him, even though he didn't know what methods Jiang Chen would use.

But after witnessing Jiang Chen's strength, the Demon Armor no longer had any doubts.

This guy from the Southeast State is not to be underestimated.

Jiang Chen quickly dialed the number, and Mo Kai also received the call. However, to Mo Kai's surprise, the phone number was not in service and had no address information.

It felt like a phone ringing out of nowhere, yet being able to connect – quite magical.

"Hello, who is this? I didn't order takeout, you've dialed the wrong number."

Out of caution, the demonic armor did not speak directly to Jiang Chen, but instead probed first. As expected of someone from the Land of the Dead, he acted with considerable caution.

Jiang Chen smiled faintly, too lazy to engage in such pointless probing with the other party.

"Alright, I'll send you an address, you can come over."

"My phone is encrypted, and no hacker can listen in."

"Just come over after you receive the text message."

"I'll wait for you here, and then we can discuss the follow-up matters together."

After finishing his brief explanation, Jiang Chen hung up the phone.

The Demon Armor team was also waiting for information, and sure enough, just a few dozen seconds later, their phones received a text message.

This text message was equally mysterious; it was unsigned, as if it appeared out of thin air, and its source could not be traced at all.

Is this Jiang Chen's strength? I didn't expect that he was not only powerful, but also quite accomplished in electronic information technology.

"Boss, should we really believe him?"

"If this is a trap, we're doomed."

Other injured by Jiang Chen harbored doubts.

They knew Jiang Chen's fighting prowess well. It was no exaggeration to say that Jiang Chen could annihilate them all by himself. It might take some effort, but it would be no difficult task for Jiang Chen.

Therefore, if this is a trap, they will be powerless to fight back and will be at the mercy of others.

Upon hearing this, Mo Kai frowned slightly, but after a moment's thought, he naturally smiled and shook his head.

"If he really wanted to kill us, he would have done it already."

"Why go to such lengths? I believe he is sincere."

"After all, who wouldn't want to understand the Land of Death?"

"You two come with me. The rest of you stay here to recover from your injuries, and be vigilant about your surroundings and suspicious individuals."

"This is our only way out."

"Even if we don't cooperate with Jiang Chen, we definitely won't escape."

Mo Kai knew very well that by cooperating with Jiang Chen and exchanging information, they might be able to obtain a considerable sum of money, enough for their future livelihood, and even to find a new backer.

If they don't cooperate, even if they escape now, they will face endless pursuit, and the situation won't be much better.

After thinking it through, Demon Armor no longer hesitated and quickly arrived at the address provided by Jiang Chen.

Sure enough, he saw Jiang Chen in a dilapidated house not far away.

At this moment, Jiang Chen was standing outside the house, leisurely drinking beer.

Upon seeing them, Jiang Chen greeted them.

The group quickly gathered together.

Seeing the beer, cigarettes, and food that Jiang Chen had prepared, Mo Kai and the others didn't stand on ceremony and quickly sat down on the ground.

Drinking and chatting with Jiang Chen.

"Speak, what information do you want to know? We can tell you anything we know."

"However, the prices we offer will only increase."

Jiang Chen nodded, not surprised by the result.

They're like outlaws now.

With no other choice, they had to cooperate with their own side...

“I am extremely interested in matters concerning the Dead Lands, and I hope you can give me a general overview.”

"Next, I would like to understand the current state of the relationship between the three major families."

"Furthermore, what exactly is the power behind the Li family?"

Things must be discussed one by one, step by step, slowly; there's no need to rush.

For Jiang Chen, the most important thing is the intricate relationships between the three major families and the overall situation in Jincheng.

Jincheng is a metropolis with a population of over ten million. Although it still lags behind first-tier cities, it is still an economically developed city.

The three major families hold extraordinary significance for Jincheng, involving many aspects, and the current situation must not be easily changed.

Someone attempted to disrupt the balance between the three major families and used the Li family to carry it out.

Jiang Chen may be able to stay out of it, but he certainly has the ability to lend a hand.

As for how other families will respond, that depends on their own fate.

"Actually, this matter is also somewhat related to the Dead Lands, so I'll just briefly explain it."

Demon Armor sighed softly.

"We were directed by the Dark Portal, an organization from the Land of the Dead."

"This organization is extremely terrifying; they bring together experts and top scientists from all over the world."

"To independently conduct research and development of weapons and technologies."

"However, none of these technologies and weapons have been leaked so far."

"At least I know nothing about it."

"If you are looking for a desolate place, I advise you to give up."

"Because the Desolate Lands are not a specific location, but a vast area." (End of Chapter)
