He looked at Fang Cheng, a deep aning in his eyes:
"Every day when I enter deep ditation, I can sense the flickering lights in the world of consciousness around ."
"Among them, there is one whose light and aura are very similar to yours, who I saw last ti in my Spiritual Secret Realm."
"So out of curiosity, I tried to establish a connection, and I didn’t expect... it succeeded on the first try."
Fang Cheng understood instantly after hearing this.
"This morning, the person knocking on the door was you."
"It was ."
Cheng Jiashu calmly admitted, but did not reveal that he lived downstairs, keeping a small secret.
Fang Cheng’s thoughts raced, naturally thinking of another matter.
In the early hours, in the fog by the sea, the flashing light in that abandoned lighthouse...
Just as he was about to speak and inquire about it, Cheng Jiashu seed to see through his thoughts and spoke first:
"Speaking of which, the last ti we t was at my humble place."
Cheng Jiashu’s tone carried a bit of self-mockery, while also subtly closing the distance between them.
"At that ti, we talked about Jiang Chen, that old ghost was blown to bits by military missiles, but his spirit didn’t dissipate, he must have prepared a trump card, probably transferred to a new body."
"These past few months, I’ve taken the ti to investigate and search for his traces."
"The archaeological site on West Mountain has been completely sealed off by the military, tightly guarded."
"I snuck in once, found a huge pit dug open in the core area, but it was empty inside, as if sothing had been moved."
"Afterwards, I visited the old abbot of Gufeng Temple, a very interesting old monk, seed to know so inside information, but he was tight-lipped and wouldn’t say anything, just kept muttering ’abomination’."
"However, I didn’t co away empty-handed, at least got a vague clue from his mouth."
Cheng Jiashu’s mouth curved into a confident arc:
"Jiang Chen has been entrenched in West Mountain for a long ti in history, so the trump card he prepared before being sealed by the court and noble families must be in the West Mountain area."
"I centered on the archaeological site and checked all the villages and towns within twenty kiloters."
"Although the Ghoul is powerful, it needs to feed, and as long as it’s active, it will inevitably leave traces. I believe finding it is just a matter of ti."
Cheng Jiashu talked about this while observing Fang Cheng’s reaction.
He didn’t rush to state his real purpose, but chose a topic of mutual concern as a point of entry.
This is the way smart people converse, first establish resonance, then plot for sothing more.
However, the man standing under the golden light ball remained expressionless, like a silent statue.
Making all his probing efforts fall on empty ground.
Seeing this, Cheng Jiashu switched his tone, seemingly casually bringing up another matter.
"Oh, that night at the dock warehouse, over two hundred people of the Red Tiger Gang were slaughtered by you, the scene was indeed handled very cleanly, even the police couldn’t find any clues."
He paused, and his tone imdiately beca solemn:
"But that Red Tiger Gang, the backer behind them is quite formidable, an international organization called Noah."
"I’ve dealt with them a few tis, they are an extrely dangerous violent organization, full of experts, arrogant in their dealings, and vengeful to the extre."
"If they find out who made the move, it might be very troubleso, perhaps dispatching the elite ’Hunter’ team, even sending top experts from the headquarters board of directors, to the death."
Cheng Jiashu’s words seed to be conveying information related to Fang Cheng, reminding him to be cautious.
But also suggesting, you’ve gotten yourself into big trouble, and I am the only one who can help you.
"Is that so."
Fang Cheng finally responded, stepping out of the shadows, his tall figure appearing more imposing.
"Thank you for the reminder."
It was like he was genuinely thanking the other party for the information and then muttered to himself, quietly yet clearly reaching Cheng Jiashu’s ears.
"The Noah Organization is so powerful, seems like I’ll have to be careful when going out from now on."
"Must at all tis behave like a mouse, hiding in dark corners, reducing all unnecessary exposure, just to barely survive."
Hearing this, Cheng Jiashu’s lips twitched slightly.
He always felt that Fang Cheng’s words sounded sarcastic, yet there was no trace of irony on his face.
"You don’t need to worry too much either."
Cheng Jiashu suppressed the strange feeling in his heart and followed along:
"I also have a blood feud with them, and will never divulge any information about you."
"Besides... we now have an excellent opportunity to take the initiative and eliminate this hidden danger."
With this, he finally revealed his true intentions.
"The Special Search Team contacted , hoping to collaborate to deal with the Noah Organization."
"The leader, you may have heard of him, is Gao Jin, the captain of the first action team of the Special Search Team."
"I’ve investigated, they have a biological company in East Capital called ’Noah Pharmaceutical’, secretly conducting appalling human experints."
"As long as we can find conclusive evidence and expose the hidden cris of Noah Pharmaceutical to the public, although we can’t say we’ll take down the Noah Organization completely, at least we can cut off their claws in East Capital."
"By then, both you and I could regain freedom, free from their interference, and return to normal life."
Fang Cheng listened silently, but his eyes flickered imperceptibly at the ntion of Gao Jin’s na.
He certainly rembered this person.
That night, in the deserted land on the outskirts of the city, he had a fierce battle with the Special Search Team captain who wore Biological Armor.
Although he was masked at the ti, they were too close to each other.
If they cooperate again, rely a glance would give the other party a high probability to recognize him as the true "White Owl" through body shape and aura.
By that ti, the elaborate plan he had set up, letting Cheng Jiashu take on the "White Owl" identity, would be completely exposed.
Seeing Fang Cheng fall silent, Cheng Jiashu thought his words had worked, imdiately seizing the opportunity to continue tentatively:
"Speaking of which, I’ve always been curious."
"Previously reminding that the Noah Organization set a trap, and arranging a seaside eting on that note... was it from you?"
Fang Cheng raised his head, showing a hint of perfect confusion on his face.
"Note? What note? I don’t know what you’re talking about."
His expression was so innocent it was as though he was truly an outside observer.
Cheng Jiashu gave him a deep look, sighing inwardly.
Still unwilling to admit it?
"It’s like this..."
He decided to change tactics, while speaking, carefully observing Fang Cheng’s facial expressions.
"Last month, I was targeted by people from the Noah Organization, during that ti, I was constantly on edge."
"Later one day, I was driving on the street, almost hit a few thugs, one of them secretly slipped a note into my car."
"The note said the Noah Organization had already set up a net and was ready to catch . It also arranged a eting at midnight at the abandoned lighthouse on the cliff at Qingshui Bay."
As he said this, his voice took on a hint of resentnt, like a lover abandoned.
"That night, it was raining heavily. I barely escaped the Noah Organization’s encirclent, braving the rain, rushed to the appointnt, only to... be stood up."
"Sigh, at that ti I was both cold and hungry, standing all alone in that pitch-black lighthouse, from midnight until dawn, the rain hitting felt like ice blocks.
"But unfortunately, the person I was waiting for, never showed up..."
Fang Cheng listened to his account expressionlessly, as if it had nothing to do with him.
Seeing this, Cheng Jiashu lightly sighed, waving his hand as though sweeping away those "grievances":
"Ah, let’s not talk about it, maybe that mysterious person didn’t want to show themselves, for their own reasons."
He shifted the conversation back on track, looking at Fang Cheng with burning eyes.
"Fang Cheng, I now formally invite you to join in dealing with the Noah Organization."
"This is definitely a once-in-a-lifeti opportunity to uproot Noah Organization’s branch in East Capital and resolve a major worry."
After speaking, he fixed his eyes on the mysterious man in front of him, full of expectation.
Fang Cheng didn’t answer imdiately, seeming to deliberate for a mont, finally spoke:
"Sorry."
"My ntal state hasn’t been great lately. So ti ago, I went to Gufeng Temple, the abbot there advised , saying I have too much of a killing intent, full of hostility, need to recuperate."
"So, I’ve decided, from now on, to quit killing, eat a vegetarian diet, recite Buddha’s na, and really cultivate and nurture my temperant."
