Jiangcheng hadn't expected that Project Crimson would not only avoid being shelved, but would actually be continued by the Night Watch. It seemed they had been planning for this so-called new world for far too long.

The new generation of Crimson, the notorious powerhouses of the old guard, coupled with the Night Watch's own foundation, and the old chairman's bus, the power accumulated by the Night Watch over the years was terrifying.

And under certain extreme conditions, it constituted an asymmetrical advantage over the massive national machine. These guys wouldn't choose to confront head-on, they would only hide in the shadows, and the lives of innocent people in major cities were their bargaining chips.

Jiangcheng gradually gathered his thoughts. He had more important things to confirm. "Regarding that ghost building on the Spring God Lake, what do you know?"

Through the previous exchanges, Jiangcheng roughly guessed the identity of the mysterious person in Shao Tong's words. It should be the current chairman of the Night Watch.

Because of Qian Mowen's matter, Wu had met the chairman once, but they didn't fight in the end. Wu didn't say much about it afterwards, but according to Jiangcheng's understanding of Wu, he was also quite afraid of the chairman's strength, otherwise he would definitely have kept him there.

The series of events that occurred in the Xixie Mountains also corroborated Jiangcheng's guess. Although Wu had invaded the dream created by the current chairman, the price he paid was quite terrible.

This time, Shao Tong relaxed his shoulders, restrained his emotions, and looked at Jiangcheng with very indifferent eyes: "Jiangcheng, let's not beat around the bush. I do know some things, and I can tell you clearly that these things are very important to your next task, but I won't say it now. When the time comes, I will naturally tell you."

"I don't trust you, just like you don't trust me." Shao Tong's attitude was straightforward. "I fully understand what kind of person you are. In order to ensure the safety of you and your friends, you will likely attack me after squeezing all the information out of me. You will make me be your cannon fodder."

"But I advise you to think carefully. If I die, then the information I have will sink into the sea. I guarantee that you will pay the price for it."

Jiangcheng suddenly smiled. "Brother Shao, what are you talking about? From the moment you abandoned the darkness and turned to the light, you are our friend."

Even a person like Shao Tong was subdued by Jiangcheng's thick skin. If his cheek wasn't still burning with pain, he would even suspect whether it was this gentle young man in front of him who had slapped him.

After all, Shao Tong needed something from them, so after being tough, his attitude had to soften. He exhaled, "I've said everything I need to say. I can guarantee that when necessary, I will hand over all the clues I have. After all, we are all in the same boat. If you die, I won't survive either."

"Also, if we can really survive, then after going out, I will no longer intervene in your war with the Night Watch. I just need you to help me get a new identity, and then let me fend for myself."

"Okay." Jiangcheng agreed without thinking, "These requests are not excessive."

Now it was Shao Tong who hesitated. After all, he had a part of the memory about Jiangcheng in his mind, and in the memory, Jiangcheng's attitude towards promises was very illusory.

Just when Shao Tong wanted to say something more, Jiangcheng spoke first: "It's almost dawn. Brother Shao has been busy for so long, go back and rest."

After Shao Tong pushed open the door and walked back to his room, Fatty couldn't wait to look at Jiangcheng. "Doctor, Shao Tong is quite cunning, he won't act until he sees the rabbit." (idiom, meaning he won't take action until he sees results)

Jiangcheng shook his clothes. The dew in the Marquis's residence was very heavy at this time, and his clothes were wet and stuck to his body, which was very uncomfortable. "No one is a fool. Self-preservation is human nature. He did the right thing."

Hearing Jiangcheng's comment, Fatty quietly let go of some of his worries. "You're right. If he agreed to our request so readily, then that would mean he has a problem."

But this time Jiangcheng didn't speak. He turned his head to look in the direction of the room. At this moment, it was almost completely dawn, but the room was very quiet.

"Doctor?" Fatty suddenly felt something was wrong. "What are you thinking about?"

Jiangcheng hesitated for a moment, and then spoke, "I have a few things I can't figure out. The mission has just begun, why did Lu Qin expose her identity as a Night Watch member? It's completely unnecessary, and it will only arouse our vigilance."

"Also..." Jiangcheng paused for a moment, and looked at Fatty, "What do you think of Lu Qin's ability?"

Fatty recalled Lu Qin's series of operations and objectively commented: "She is quite a difficult opponent among those we have encountered."

"How does she compare to Yu Chengmu and Luo Tianhe?" Jiangcheng asked again.

This time Fatty shook his head very firmly. "She is definitely not as good as them. Yu Chengmu almost wiped out Du Moyu and his entire team. If they hadn't met us, they would have been wiped out."

"Although Luo Tianhe is only one person, his methods are comparable to Yu Chengmu's. Zhu Jie and Tang Qisheng are also very in awe of this person."

Speaking of this, Fatty looked at Jiangcheng in confusion. "Why are you mentioning them two for no reason?"

Yu Chengmu, Luo Tianhe, and Lu Qin are all dead. Now that they are dead, it's useless even if they had great abilities.

Jiangcheng frowned. "Think carefully. This is the new chairman's world. Is it reasonable that they sent such a low-level guy for such an important task?"

"Low-level..."

Fatty was stunned for a moment. From his point of view, Lu Qin might not be very powerful, but she couldn't be called low-level.

But he quickly reacted. The doctor could even kill Yu Chengmu and Luo Tianhe, so Lu Qin's little tricks were indeed not worth mentioning.

If Shao Tong's ability wasn't tricky, Lu Qin probably wouldn't even have the qualifications to compete with the doctor.

Thinking like this, Fatty was also scared. He also realized that there was a problem here. This wasn't the first time they had fought against the Night Watch, and the other party's caution was no less than theirs.

"It's really not right, then...then what do you think?" Fatty asked in a low voice.

"Lu Qin is a decoy, the real killer is someone else." Jiangcheng said without hesitation.

Fatty was shocked. "Who?"

"It's not clear yet. The greatest possibility is still Shao Tong. Lu Qin is just a side dish, to cover up Shao Tong's success in gaining our trust."

"Of course, from the results, if Lu Qin's acting skills weren't divine, then it's that Lu Qin was a fool who thought she was the main character until she died."

Jiangcheng opened up Fatty's thinking with a few words. He keenly realized that Jiangcheng still had something to say. "Who else do you suspect?"

"Zhang Qizheng." Jiangcheng continued, "I just ran into his grandson and granddaughter not long ago, and this time I ran into the grandfather. How could there be such a coincidence?"
