From Under One Person: Sincere Journey Through the Heavens

“If you can really do that, I can give you half of my fortune!” Edward offered his bargaining chip.

"No no no."

Jiang Liu denied this, saying, "Although I am also short of money, I would not take advantage of a poor father in this situation."

"Mr. Jiang's righteousness..."

Before he could finish speaking, Jiang Liu said, "I want to join the Municipal Council and become a director."

"this!"

Edward's eyes flickered.

Isn't this taking advantage of someone's vulnerability?

"Mr. Edward, you don't need to go to any trouble. Just be a little more willful, and after I help you resolve your problem, I'll invite all the important figures in the Public Works Bureau and the county to a meeting. I'll find a way to persuade them." Jiang Liu smiled slightly. "As a director of the Public Works Bureau, I believe Mr. Edward certainly has that kind of authority, right?"

“They do exist, but they won’t come, or rather, they would never agree,” Edward said, his words carrying a hidden meaning.

Jiang Liu, however, remained unperturbed, smiling confidently: "Where there's a will, there's a way. And now, Mr. Edward, are you going to agree to my conditions?"

"OK!"

Edward agreed.

"Alright, let's get started now. Is your daughter upstairs? I'd like to check on her first."

Jiang Liu had already heard about the Gaozhuang incident from Ilya and Edward. The two versions were largely the same, but there were some slight differences in the details.

therefore.

He needed to confirm this with Nice Tucker again.

"I'm afraid that won't work."

Speaking of his daughter, Edward sighed, but still took Jiang Liu and Ilya upstairs and arrived at a double door.

The keyhole was filled with molten lead and could not be opened with a key.

Next to the door, on the wall, there was a square window, which Edward used to feed his daughter and change the toilet.

"Nice, are you alright?" Edward knocked on the door, opened the window, and called out anxiously.

"father!"

Suddenly, a soft, hoarse voice came from inside the door.

But no woman's voice came from the window.

Just as Jiang Liu was about to break the chains and force the door open, Edward grabbed his hand and said anxiously, "We can't do that! If Gao Zhuang comes back and notices the door is loose from the inside, he'll definitely come looking for me to hold me accountable!"

With the other directors of the Municipal Council targeting Edward and the police officers outwardly complying but inwardly defying him, Edward dared not gamble that Gao Zhuang would not take action against him.

Jiang Liudi, however, had a different focus and asked, "You noticed it from inside? Did he enter the room by climbing through the window?"

"Yes."

The one who spoke was Ilya, "That guy spends all his time out having fun during the day, and only comes back at night. He enters the house through the window and forces you to submit."

They're really going to pull the same old Gao Lao Zhuang trick!

"Did he ever force you, Miss Ilya?"

Asking such a question is somewhat impolite, but Jiang Liu needs to further confirm the information about Gaozhuang, and Ilya is also a breakthrough point.

“Yes, but no matter how much he insulted or hit me, I just silently endured it and prayed in my heart that God would forgive his ignorance, so he never touched me again.” Ilya said calmly as she recalled that memory, making the sign of the cross on her shoulders and chest.

"Go clean up, Ilya."

Seeing Ilya's expression, Edward frowned... After Ilya went downstairs, Edward said to Jiang Liu, "She's actually my niece, but she's a believer in Jesus Christ..."

And that damn bastard!

He's a pervert!

Jiang Liu did not answer, but simply placed his hand on the double doors and gave them a slight jolt.

Bang!

With a burst of force, the lock core broke, and the door opened with a thud.

Edward was first surprised, then terrified. But when he saw Ilya lying on the bed, pale-faced, with dry, yellow hair and lifeless eyes, he could no longer hold back. He ran into the room, helped Ilya up, hugged her, and cried, "Nice! My Nice! My daughter, what kind of torment have you suffered these days? I'm so useless, I'm so sorry, I should have come to save you sooner!"

Seeing that Nath was so emaciated and weak, he gave up the idea of ​​asking her questions and said to Edward, "Mr. Edward, take your daughter downstairs and hide her in the room so she can rest well. I will stay here and wait for that guy to return so I can get rid of him for you!"

Edward was agitated when he saw how thin his daughter was. He wasn't afraid of being questioned by Gao Zhuang when he returned. He simply took Nash out of the room and downstairs.

He then ordered Ilya to prepare a guest room and settle Nice in it, taking good care of her.

thereafter.

Edward went upstairs again, only to find another "daughter".

But this "daughter" looked like this:

Her blond hair was disheveled, her face pale and colorless. Her clothes were wrinkled, and her eyes were clear and sparkling. Her voice was weak, her breath soft, and her appearance was exactly like Nash's.

"Nice?" Edward exclaimed.

“Mr. Edward, I am not Nice.”

The person in front of you is not Nice Tucker, but Jiang Nice Liu!

Having cultivated to this point, I have mastered the timing of the Golden Crow Fire, the Jade Rabbit Fire, and the Fire of the Four Seasons and Six Qi. I have also cultivated the Dharma Image Seals and Talismans. Relying on the profound mystery of the Eight and Nine, I can naturally sense the changes in the natural universe through the circulation of energy within my body.

By using human magnetism to perceive the magnetic fields of all things and by using Qi to reorganize his body, Jiang Liu can naturally transform into the appearance of Nice Tucker, and even change the clothes on his body.

"You actually possess such abilities!" Edward exclaimed in astonishment.

“We can talk about the surprising things later. Now, Mr. Edward, please tell me about Miss Nice’s lifestyle, habits, and way of speaking. Otherwise, we won’t be able to fool Gao Zhuang. I need to personally determine what kind of abilities she has,” Jiang Liu asked.

"no problem!"

Edward quickly revealed all of Nice Tucker's habits.

"Yes, I understand. Thank you for informing me, Mr. Edward."

After understanding Nice's speaking habits, Jiang Liu imitated her a couple of times, making sure Edward couldn't detect anything unusual, before reverting to his original manner. "What time does Gao Zhuang usually return at night?"

“Around eight o’clock,” Edward said.

"Eight o'clock? I understand."

Jiang Liu pondered for a moment and said to Edward, "Then I will come back to this room after seven o'clock, pretend to be Miss Nice, and after I get information about Gao Zhuang's abilities from him, I will take him down. You and Miss Nice can hide downstairs!"

Edward was already impressed by Jiang Liu's abilities, so he followed the arrangement and provided Jiang Liu with a meditation room in the hope that he could recuperate.

Jiang Liu immediately added Lu Jin, Miss Liu, and Miss Hong to a shared "group chat" in the meditation room and asked: "How are you all doing?"

I have located a ship heading south: the Tetsumaru, a Japanese ship carrying raw materials such as marijuana and poppies for making opium.

Hong Guniang hid near the dock and, using her magnetic skills, caused three or five sailors who were carrying opium to "accidentally" slip and fall into the water.

They plan to depart around 10:00 AM tomorrow!

Should I postpone it?

Lu Jin said: "[Tomorrow morning at ten o'clock? There's a problem... Brother Jiang, Sister Liu and I have found Mr. Ren and nine other wanted members who haven't been caught yet, but there are more and more police officers and soldiers outside, making it difficult to move around in public!"]

With Lu Jin and Miss Liu's abilities, they could handle the police and soldiers even if they were armed with firearms, but it would be troublesome to carry ten "burdens".

In short, there is no guarantee that the ten members, including Mr. Ren, are safe and sound.

Miss Liu said, "Why don't we just kill those people? That's the easiest way!"

[Calm down, Sister Liu. Shanghai isn't Yuhang. The area of ​​the former International Settlement is much larger than a county town. Let's develop for a few more years before making any moves.]

Jiang Liu dared not let Miss Liu do anything reckless. [The priority is to protect Mr. Ren and the others. If any soldiers approach, try to lure them into a quiet alley and deal with them, but do not take the initiative to attack.]

Our goal is to save lives, not to kill.

Now is not a good time to break ties with foreigners...

Upon hearing this, Miss Liu could only suppress her urge to attack and asked, "President, what are you doing? I didn't see you on the street. Wasn't your task to distract them and create an opportunity for us to take Mr. Ren and the others out?"

【I'm working on it, but it'll take a while... Since the ship is setting sail at 10 a.m. tomorrow, you two should take those ten people and head out around 9 a.m. to find Sister Hong and figure out a way to get the fourteen crew members into the water so they can go to the changing room near the dock.】

Using his mental scan, Jiang Liu confirmed that there were shower rooms and changing rooms near the dock for the crew to wash up, which would be a good place to replace them.

Miss Liu was well aware of Jiang Liu's thoughts, but—

"You want us to replace them? Even though Japanese people don't look that different from us, they should still recognize themselves, right?"

Hong Guniang also wondered: "Is it possible to fake it?"

Trust me, I can fake what's past. I'll show you my "72 transformations" when the time comes.

Jiang Liu chuckled and ended the call.

Miss Liu asked Lu Jin, "You've been following the guild leader in your cultivation the longest, do you know what the 'Seventy-two Transformations' means? It's not really the same kind of transformation technique as Sun Wukong, is it?"

"Certainly not."

Indeed.

Jiang Liu's strength and abilities have already surpassed most people's imagination, but to truly achieve the Earthly Fiend Transformation like Sun Wukong—

That's mythology!

"Before Brother Jiang cultivated the Sun and Moon Refining Form Diagram, he studied painting with Boss Cha for a period of time to improve his painting skills so that he could copy every detail of the Sun and Moon Refining Form Diagram... Perhaps he wanted to use makeup techniques combined with his supernatural abilities to give us a complete makeover." Lu Jin believed this was the most likely possibility, and indeed, there were indeed people in the world of supernatural beings who could change their appearance through makeup-like techniques.

As far as Lu Jin knew, there was a "Clay Figure Liu" in the Quanxing sect who could change a person's appearance, voice, and even body shape. As long as he didn't violently bump or tear the talisman, he could maintain it indefinitely. He could even use his Qi to a small extent. Moreover, as long as he paid money, he would help people disguise themselves and change their identities, whether they were from the Quanxing sect, a prestigious sect, or a high-ranking official. He was quite a flexible person in his actions.

But it was this confusion of good and evil that led him to call himself Quanxing, and thus he became Quanxing.

"Then it seems to be similar to the ability of Liu the Clay Figure."

Miss Liu was certain that Jiang Liu would use his "makeup" skills to give them a makeover, "Then I'll have to ask Sister Liu to help me find a pretty female sailor."

Lu Jin: "..."

Did you contact Jiang Liu just now?

Mr. Ren began to speak.

At this moment, he was completely different from the spirited man he was when arguing with Jiang Liu. His hair was messy, his face was slightly pale, he was wearing a tattered leather coat, there was a scar on his face, and his left ear had a hole in it. His face was full of dejection.

"Is Mr. Ren feeling any better?"
