"Brother, I have no opinion about the others, but Shen Lu is absolutely out of the question!" Chen Kun's expression grew even more solemn.
"Why?" Jiang Yi asked.
"Shen Lu used to be part of that assassin organization. It's completely unrealistic to have her deal with her former comrades!"
"Besides, with Shen Lu's capabilities, she can't help me at all; instead, she'll just cause trouble for me," Chen Kun stated directly.
Jiang Yi felt that what Chen Kun said had some truth to it.
He would find an opportunity to speak with Shen Lu. If Shen Lu agreed, he would have her cooperate with Chen Kun.
At that time, he would teach Shen Lu some skills for rapid progress, which would be no problem for dealing with those assassins.
If Shen Lu disagreed, then so be it!
He would find someone else.
Seeing Jiang Yi remain silent, Chen Kun didn't dare to ask further.
"Brother, there's something I find very strange!"
Chen Kun changed the subject and said to Jiang Yi, "I've killed so many people from that assassin organization. Why hasn't the organization sent anyone to Jiang Province to investigate this matter? Are they completely unaware?"
"Even a fool could see that their assassins have been targeted."
"This matter is indeed strange," Jiang Yi nodded.
Jiang Yi had also thought about this.
Perhaps the people sent by the assassin organization had already entered Jiang Province and were investigating this matter.
However, Jiang Yi wasn't too concerned about this issue.
No matter who the assassin organization sent, he would deal with them. He would eliminate as many as came.
He would not let a single person from this assassin organization escape.
"Brother, shall I investigate and see what's going on?" Chen Kun said.
"No need to investigate!"
Jiang Yi raised his eyebrows. "Just be careful yourself."
"Okay!" Chen Kun nodded.
Just then, a servant suddenly ran over and informed Jiang Yi that Father Ye had arrived.
Jiang Yi was about to ask the servant to invite Father Ye into the villa. Before he could speak, Father Ye walked into the hall himself.
Father Ye's expression was grim, and his face was full of worry.
"Jiang Yi, something has happened to Yanran!"
Father Ye said to Jiang Yi, "Just now, I received a phone call asking me to relay a message to you: bring one million yuan to Luosi Bay in the southern part of the city. If you don't see the money in two hours, prepare to collect Yanran's corpse."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yi stood up from the sofa.
He hadn't expected anyone to kidnap Ye Yanran. The fact that they asked him to bring money clearly indicated they knew about his relationship with Yanran.
He had dealt with many families and offended many people.
It was possible that the other party wasn't after the one million yuan but wanted to deliberately lure him there.
"Jiang Yi, you must think of a way. You know Yanran's identity. No matter what happened between you in the past, I hope you can find a way to save Yanran."
Father Ye's face was filled with worry.
"Don't worry, I will save her. I won't let anything happen to her!"
Jiang Yi said to comfort him.
Father Ye nodded, still looking very worried.
Jiang Yi asked Father Ye to wait at home and then left the villa with Chen Kun.
After withdrawing one million yuan in cash from the bank, Jiang Yi and Chen Kun drove directly to Luosi Bay in the southern part of the city.
"What is Luosi Bay?" Jiang Yi asked Chen Kun.
Jiang Yi had only been in Lidu City for a month and knew very little about the city. This was the first time he had heard of Luosi Bay.
"Luosi Bay is known as Ghost City!"
Chen Kun told Jiang Yi about Luosi Bay.
More than twenty years ago, a wealthy magnate in Jiang Province developed real estate in Luosi Bay, investing all his assets and even borrowing over a billion yuan from the bank.
He thought he would make a huge profit, but unexpectedly, the buildings he constructed couldn't be sold at all, leading to the magnate's bankruptcy and incurring debts that he could never repay in several lifetimes.
Finally, the magnate's wife ran away with their child.
Driven to desperation, the magnate committed suicide by jumping off a building.
Luosi Bay was filled with buildings, and some petty criminals and vagrants moved in.
This place, being a lawless zone, was rife with criminal activities.
In this place, some could become rich overnight, while others could end up as corpses overnight, hence the name Ghost City.
"Doesn't the Governor of Jiang Province even intervene?" Jiang Yi asked.
"The Governor of Jiang Province originally intended to seal off Ghost City, but he was obstructed by people from all walks of life in Jiang Province. After all, those living in Ghost City are mostly petty criminals and vagrants."
"These people are lawless. If Ghost City is sealed off, they will flood into Lidu City, and many citizens will undoubtedly be harmed by these petty criminals."
"Therefore, people from all walks of life obstructed the Governor of Jiang Province. The Governor of Jiang Province had no choice but to give up," Chen Kun said.
Jiang Yi sneered upon hearing this.
The Governor of Jiang Province certainly wasn't obstructed by people from all walks of life, but rather feared it would affect his career. Ghost City was a huge tumor, and whether it could be removed or not would impact his future.
After all, it was a tumor that appeared within his jurisdiction. Instead of making a fuss, it was better to leave this mess to the next governor.
An hour later, the car entered Ghost City.
Upon stepping onto the streets of Ghost City, it felt like entering another world, a stark contrast to the bustling city center of Lidu.
It looked like a slum.
Many vagrants and beggars were lying by the roadside.
And on the streets, many petty criminals were loitering, looking for targets.
Jiang Yi had never seen such a scene before.
Jiang Yi and Chen Kun were soon noticed.
A burly man with a scar walked towards them, his eyes greedily glancing at the car behind Jiang Yi, then settling on Jiang Yi and Chen Kun as he began to size them up.
This scarred man was cautious and didn't make a move directly.
"Be sensible and leave, or you'll regret it."
Chen Kun glared sharply at the scarred man.
"Hmph!"
The scarred man snorted.
"Kid, do you know what this place is? This is Ghost City. It's not the wealthy who call the shots, but fists. If you want to be arrogant in Ghost City, you need to have strong fists."
Chen Kun couldn't help but laugh at this.
"That car is nice. You can leave, but the car must stay." The scarred man said.
"You're asking for death!"
Chen Kun clenched his fist.
"It seems you don't know my capabilities. Today, I'll show you what I've got."
After speaking, the scarred man raised his fist and punched directly at Chen Kun's face.
Chen Kun didn't dodge. He grabbed the scarred man's arm and twisted it, breaking it.
The scarred man screamed in pain.
Seeing this, the scarred man's followers became enraged and rushed towards Chen Kun.
Chen Kun didn't even bother to look at these guys.
Within three minutes, more than ten people were incapacitated by Chen Kun.
Instantly, the entire street echoed with screams, sounding like a slaughterhouse.
