Chapter 1493: Taking Charge

As Jiang Cheng sat with the team, thinking about everything that had just happened, he still felt a lingering fear, his hands slightly chilly.

If he hadn’t been awake, wouldn’t he have met Prince Jian?

Hello comrade, turns out you’re the hero who acted bravely! Our team issued an announcement, and we should reward you for your actions!

One of the team members walked up to Jiang Cheng with a smile and said. Jiang Cheng was a bit puzzled and asked: “It was just a small effort, nothing worth mentioning. But why bring it up again today?”

It’s like this, comrade. That day you left in such a hurry that we didn’t get your contact information! Luckily, we met you again today.” The team member extended a hand to shake with Jiang Cheng, smiling as he spoke.

What’s wrong with the team members these days? Why are they so verbose? Reuniting with them feels like a curse!

As Jiang Cheng thought about this, he was amused by his exaggerated guess and replied, “So, what then? Team comrade, are you all planning to do something to me because you’re happy?”

“Comrade, you’re joking, you’re a hero, how could we do anything to you?”

The team member waved his hand dismissively and replied.

Jiang Cheng turned his head slightly, pretending to be puzzled, and asked, “So what are you going to do?”

“Oh, here’s some money, not much, but it’s a confirmation of your actions! In the future, we hope you continue to contribute to society. On behalf of everyone, thank you for your brave actions.” The team member said, taking an envelope out from a drawer and handing it to Jiang Cheng.

“Alright, thank you team comrade, I will definitely continue to cooperate actively with your work in the future!” Jiang Cheng took the envelope and slowly said.

This was given to him; he couldn’t find any reason to refuse it, besides, since they insisted, not taking it would seem pretentious! After taking the money, Jiang Cheng said nothing and left the team. He had more important tasks to attend to.

The task given by his boss was the most important and couldn’t be delayed. The time for reporting back was running out, and he had to complete the mission.

Back home, Jiang Cheng rested for a while before quickly grabbing some things and heading to the airport. Looking at the urgency of the boss, the mission seemed critical; otherwise, these people wouldn’t be so serious about it. Since it was this way, he was determined to do his best.

Let’s go! Depart.” After saying this, he closed his eyes and fell asleep. Upon waking, he had arrived at Dragon City, a place full of unknowns where he didn’t know what would ultimately happen. However, he knew clearly one thing: he couldn’t afford to be careless. One wrong move could cost him his life here.

“Jiang Cheng, you need to be careful with this matter. You must consider your safety; do not let yourself fall into danger, or you’ll be the one who gets hurt in the end. You must not place yourself in danger.” Before getting off the plane, he said this to himself in his mind while looking at the unfamiliar city; Jiang Cheng really felt uneasy. Yet, there were many things he had to face.

After retrieving his luggage, Jiang Cheng hailed a taxi, preparing to find Mu Yu according to the route the boss had given him. Mu Yu was supposed to take care of everything here. Besides, he was the key player in this mission; once he found him, things would be much simpler.

Jiang Cheng, as soon as you arrive in Dragon City, you must find Mu Yu immediately. I’ve already sent someone to inform him of this; rest assured, once you get there, he will meet you. No need to worry. With him, this mission will not put you in trouble. He will ensure your safety. I’m waiting for your triumphant return.

In his mind, his boss’s words constantly echoed. At this time, he couldn’t think too much; finding Mu Yu with his help would make everything easier.

This is the place, isn’t it? This alleyway, I’ve found it. With his help, I’ll be smooth sailing. Jiang Cheng, complete this matter and don’t get involved with them anymore.” Following the address given by his boss, he arrived at a small alleyway. After getting off the cab, he was ready to find Mu Yu, but just fifteen minutes after getting out, he noticed something was off. In the rear-view mirror of the cab, he saw someone following him.

These persistent spirits again? Want to follow me, you’re still too inexperienced! When I play at tracking, you weren’t even born yet. Jiang Cheng sneered and quickly picked up his luggage, pretending as if he saw nothing, he walked forward, but when making a turn, things changed. Now, he was planning to counter-track; he wanted to see what on earth this person intended by so blatantly following him.

What the hell, where did he go? He was just here a moment ago, how did he disappear in the blink of an eye! The person following him stomped his foot in frustration after losing sight of Jiang Cheng, then hurriedly ran away. After placing his belongings in a hidden spot, Jiang Cheng quickly followed this person; he wanted to figure out who he had provoked.

“Speak, who are you, and why are you always following me? What grudge do I have with you? If you don’t speak, I’ll kill you. Be honest now, why are you following me?” After arriving at an abandoned factory with no one around, Jiang Cheng pinned the person following him to the ground. He wanted to know why these people in Dragon City would follow him, had his whereabouts been exposed?

“Please spare me, master. I really didn’t mean to. Master, I’m with Mo Xiao’s group; he sent me to the airport, didn’t he? But because of you, sir, our brothers ended up in jail. Master, I’m not lying to you, Mo Xiao has been watching you closely ever since, saying he wants to avenge our brothers.”

That’s why they’ve had me tailing you, master, have mercy. I have elders above and children below; please overlook a small person’s errors. I know my mistakes, it’s Mo Xiao who wants to harm you.” After being caught, the person tailing him confessed everything. Mo Xiao wanted Jiang Cheng dead to avenge his brothers, thus sending people to track Jiang Cheng, looking for a chance to deal with him.

Ha, these persistent spirits indeed. But since you’ve discovered my whereabouts, you mustn’t be left alive. You’ve chosen the wrong person to follow. Jiang Cheng said creepily.

These people want his life; only he can be the master of it. Nobody can dictate his destiny. No matter who it is, nobody can attempt to kill him. He must take action first.

In a hotel room, Jiang Cheng sat in a chair, holding a teacup, enjoying tea, the aroma permeating the small room. The television was playing news, and the curtains tightly drawn.

This was Jiang Cheng’s habit, as it prevented anyone from seeing inside from the outside, nor could they determine the occupants’ positions even if they tracked. As long as he was inside, the house was a secure spot.
