Chapter 525 - 525: The General Whereabouts of Qiao Sihai

A family as prominent as the Qiao Family couldn't have just vanished without a trace.

Yu Li also frowned as she looked at Jiang Xinghai. "Yes, Divine Doctor Jiang. It's impossible for the neighbors not to have heard a whisper."

"But as it stands, not a single person has noticed anything."

Zhu Yan interjected coolly, "Are you questioning Jiang Xinghai, or are you questioning the War Department?"

Everyone exchanged a look and fell silent.

They all understood.

'Even if the War Department made a move, they'd obviously lock down the information, but they can't just restrict the freedom of innocent people, can they?'

"The official story is that there's an ancient tomb beneath the Qiao Family's residence."

Jiang Xinghai could only give the Yu Family a perfunctory explanation to dispel their doubts.

In reality, it was Lao Deng from the War Department leading his men to cover up the news.

The Kun City Qiao Family didn't reside in the city center, but near the West Suburb Mountain Range.

The nearest residents were several dozen meters away.

Launching a few Hot Weapons during a rolling thunderstorm would naturally eliminate most suspicions.

Combined with the War Department's power, locking down the information wasn't difficult.

"Sigh!"

Suddenly, Zhu Yan stood up and moved to Jiang Xinghai's side, gazing out the window. "I'm actually quite perplexed. Instead of considering Jiang Xinghai's efforts, the Yu Family is here pointing fingers. You all are truly…"

"They're too close to the situation to see the bigger picture. It's understandable." Jiang Xinghai shook his head, stopping Zhu Yan from saying more.

"I think Divine Doctor Jiang did the right thing. He traveled a thousand li for my cousin, wiped out the clan that was Raising Gu, and made a contribution to society, ensuring ordinary people can live their lives normally." Qin Shuang, who had been silent until now, offered her opinion.

She had only ever heard about "Poisonous Insects" in movies and TV shows and had no idea they actually existed in real life.

Therefore, she believed Jiang Xinghai did the right thing.

"You're right. We were too focused on my own life... Divine Doctor Jiang, I was so foolish to question you. I'm sorry." Yu Li's face was full of apology as she stood stiffly before Jiang Xinghai.

"It's alright. You're suffering, so it's understandable that your thinking would be narrow," Jiang Xinghai said with a smile.

Yu Zhuo's old face flushed. "Divine Doctor Jiang, I apologize as well. Because of Xiaoli's situation, I became hot-headed and lost my senses as a father... Miss Zhu and Xiaoshuang are right. The clan Raising Gu deserved to be wiped out. Good riddance!"

"That's right. Even if I must be sacrificed, I won't have any complaints." Yu Li seemed to have accepted her reality.

'It's only death, isn't it?'

She wouldn't be afraid. She just hoped that Qiao Sihai, the one who harmed her, would be captured and tortured to death!

"None of you need to apologize."

Jiang Xinghai smiled nonchalantly. "It's just one Qiao Sihai, isn't it? With Miss Zhu's help, if he's hiding near the Ten Thousand Buddha Temple, we'll eventually find him. I guarantee I'll find him within two weeks, maybe even three days."

"Three days... No, I'm not in a hurry. You should handle your own affairs first."

Yu Li subconsciously grabbed Jiang Xinghai's hand. "The Sun Family... Based on the description from a security guard at the Gathering Talent Tower who saw you, the Sun Family has sketched your portrait. They now strongly suspect that you're the one who killed Sun Jiaping."

"It seems the Sun Family isn't completely stupid, then."

Jiang Xinghai leisurely blew a smoke ring. "If I'm calculating the time right, I should pay the Sun Family a visit tomorrow night. Happily claiming a two billion reward doesn't sound too bad."

Yu Zhuo had thought of this as well and said earnestly, "Divine Doctor Jiang, I've heard that the Sun Family, the Wei Family, and the Zhou Family have joined forces to deal with you. On top of that, the Sun Family's ancestor, Sun Zhen, will be back soon. From this moment on, the Yu Family will follow your lead."

"Uncle Yu, are you sure?" Jiang Xinghai asked with a calm smile.

"I made my decision the moment you chose to save Xiaoli," Yu Zhuo said with a solemn expression.

"Good!"

Jiang Xinghai tossed his cigarette butt. "With your Yu Family, plus the Feng and Yan Families, going up against those three... that's good, too."

'In that case, I'll help these three families grow even stronger. And I'll bring the Shen Family from Jizhou into the fold as well.'

"Divine Doctor Jiang, the Feng and Yan Families have also pledged their allegiance to you?" Yu Zhuo was utterly shocked.

He was, after all, the head of one of the Provincial City's Eight Great Martial Arts Families, yet he had never heard a word about this.

Even Zhu Yan of the War Department was unaware of this.

Jiang Xinghai didn't deny it. "Let's do this. Tomorrow at noon, have your three families meet. I'll host. We'll dine at the hotel across from the Gathering Talent Tower. I also want to see if the Gathering Talent Tower has changed its sign like I demanded."

The others didn't understand. What was Jiang Xinghai planning?

On that day, when Jiang Xinghai and Leng Ning went to dine at the Gathering Talent Tower, they were provoked by Sun Jiaping. Even the restaurant's waiters were insolent toward them.

After dealing with Sun Jiaping, he had made a harsh threat as he left: that the Gathering Talent Tower would be renamed the "Dog Gathering Tower."

"Master, the late-night snack is ready."

Just then, Nanny Wu's voice came from the direction of the dining room.

"Divine Doctor Jiang, Miss Zhu, let's eat while we talk."

Yu Zhuo said, warmly inviting Jiang Xinghai and Zhu Yan.

During the meal, he learned from Jiang Xinghai about his relationship with the Feng and Yan Families.

"By the way, Uncle Yu, the Provincial City originally had the Eight Great Martial Arts Families. Why are there only six of you left? What happened to the other two?" Jiang Xinghai had heard Leng Ning mention this before, but she hadn't been able to uncover the secret either.
