Starting from a short stick, becoming the master of the universe

Not long after, upon learning the news, Old Qin rushed back home from the base in a hurry. After listening to Jiang Cheng's detailed account of the incident, his face became extremely solemn.

On the surface, this appears to be an accident.

However, from some aspects, it does not seem like that, but rather like a premeditated assassination.

"Boy, what do you think?" Old Qin looked at Jiang Cheng who was sitting opposite him.

"my thoughts."

Jiang Cheng was silent for a moment, and then said, "Although this operation is very dangerous, if it is just an accident, it is not a big deal. The only thing to worry about is that someone is playing tricks on us."

"If someone is behind this, who do you think it is?"

"Although I have been at the base for a few months, there is only one person I have truly offended. If anyone really wants to attack me, it can only be him."

Jiang Cheng said seriously.

"Sun Bo?"

Two words came out of Old Qin’s mouth.

"Ah."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

On the one hand, Sun Bo has this motive.

On the other hand, he also has the ability.

Old Qin was silent.

He had hinted to Jiang Cheng at the beginning that there would be such a possibility, but it was just a possibility. Even if Sun Bo had a grudge against Jiang Cheng because of what happened in the past, there was no need to take things to this point. Not only would he have to kill Jiang Cheng, but he would also have to wipe out the entire team, right?

"From the perspective of the City of Hope, I should deny this possibility, but from a personal perspective, I can't say this."

Old Qin sighed, stood up from his chair, and said while pacing: "Most of our masters are staying in the city, but there are also a small number of people stationed outside to keep an eye on any disturbance outside to prevent those people from attacking us.

The Sun family has two people who are responsible for this task. Their strengths are respectively a fourth-level force master and a fifth-level spiritual master. "

When Jiang Cheng heard this, his eyes lit up slightly.

The man who attacked them was a level 5 spiritual master!
"Honestly speaking, if he really attacked you, it would be hard to find evidence."

Old Qin sighed, "They were already outside, and they refused to have a pass to come in or out. And because there are two people from the Sun family outside, they can testify against each other. Even if it's the leader, without substantial evidence, if it's just suspicion, he can't do anything to them."

Jiang Cheng nodded.

Yes, the Sun family is the descendant of the Supreme after all, and their status in the city is not low. It is obviously unreliable to rely on some speculations alone.

Not to mention, what if this matter really has nothing to do with the Sun family?

The reason why he suspected Sun Bo was just because he considered the worst.

"Boy, how about this."

Qin Lao thought about it and gave a suggestion, "Tell the chief not to go out on missions for a while. The chief and the chief have seen your performance and they will definitely agree. Besides, patrolling the tunnels doesn't matter if you have one more or one less, right?"

Jiang Cheng heard this and had to admit that the suggestion given by Old Qin was very reliable. Since he couldn't afford to offend them, he could just hide away. Moreover, during this period of hiding, he could continue to improve his strength. When his strength reached a certain level, even if the Sun family was behind this, what could he do?

But then again, will the other members of Team 7 also hide for a while because of this incident?

Hearing Jiang Cheng's question, Old Qin smiled bitterly.

how is this possible.

As the saying goes, a thousand-mile dam can be breached by a single ant hole, so the best way to deal with danger is to nip it in the bud.

Although everyone in Team 7 escaped death this time, they still had to go out for patrol as usual next week, even though they knew that danger might happen again and even that the masked man who attacked them last time might still be there.

Otherwise, who will patrol areas 15-20? If the other teams think the same, who will patrol the other areas? In the end, I'm afraid we won't know until the disaster strikes.

"So, I can't quit at this time." Jiang Cheng said firmly.

Old Qin smiled bitterly and quickly advised: "Boy, don't be so stubborn. You are different from them. Don't forget that in addition to your identity as a resistance soldier, you are also an alchemist. If something happens to you, it will be a loss for our City of Hope. So, if you withdraw, both the leader and the people in Team 7 will understand."

Jiang Cheng still shook his head.

He knew very well that there were some things he could do and some things he could not do.

"You are really stubborn, kid." Qin Lao said helplessly, "Have you ever thought about what if that person is really coming for you? He can't do anything to you this time, but he knows your trump card, so it's hard to say next time. A sixth-grade primary treasure is powerful, but as long as the other party has a sixth-grade intermediate offensive treasure, he can kill you in seconds."

"If that's the case, maybe we can use our own tactics against them."

"?"

Hearing Jiang Cheng's words, Old Qin was startled, "Boy, you want to use yourself as bait and let the leader ambush behind you, waiting for the other party to take the bait?"

"Yes."

Jiang Cheng nodded. "If we avoid it, it will only be a temporary solution, especially in this case, when it is really the Sun family who is behind it. If we can catch that guy, everything will be revealed."

"That's the truth."

Mr. Qin nodded repeatedly.

If these words were spoken by someone else, he would probably sneer at them.

He's the leader, his time is extremely precious, why would he spend it on a first-level master like you? You know, it takes several hours to go out and inspect the tunnels.

But if this person is Jiang Cheng, it would be different.

Because he had defeated two supreme combat geniuses in a row in the virtual combat system. It was no exaggeration to say that as long as Jiang Cheng was given enough time, becoming the supreme was a foregone conclusion.

It would be a pity if such a talent died prematurely.

In fact, Jiang Cheng did rely on this, but it was not limited to this. You must know that he had just taken away a seventh-grade treasure from the chief not long ago. If he was in danger, the first person who would be unable to sit still might not be Chu Feng, but the chief.

Although he would be a little unhappy if he said it out loud, after all, he was relying on a backer rather than his own strength, but then again, if he had a backer, he would still have to use him. Besides, things may change over time, and one day in the future, he would be able to turn things around and become the backer of the big leader.

It was that Mr. Qin couldn't read minds, otherwise he would be so shocked that his jaw would drop if he knew what Jiang Cheng was thinking. (End of this chapter)
