Chapter 128 World Changes
Chapter 128 World Changes
"Leng Tong, Wang Chen, you and Eric should find a hotel outside the block to stay in," Jiang Yanming instructed before stepping through the "No Entry for Strangers" sign.
"Can't I live in there?" Eric asked, somewhat puzzled, as he watched Jiang Yanming's retreating figure.
"The tradition of the South Island neighborhood is that only relatives of Shenwu people and people of Shenwu descent are allowed to live there," Leng Tong said calmly.
"Let's go, let's find a hotel nearby, it won't cost much." Wang Chen turned and walked outside.
"I have a question. Are you people from the Divine Martial Kingdom rich?" Eric asked, following up.
"We're on secondment to the Martial Arts Alliance, so we get some subsidies," Wang Chen said softly. "Don't worry, you won't be living in bad conditions."
"That's good." Eric was relieved to hear that.
He currently has less than 10,000 nars in his account, which is the poorest he has been since becoming a cyber hacker.
……
the other side.
As Jiang Yanming walked down the street, he couldn't help but ponder.
His trip to Shining City lasted only a day, but a lot happened. He almost encountered an attack by the Special Mobile Team, which made him feel that the so-called anti-God Martial Kingdom forces might really exist!
What's strange is that, as a cyber hacker, he has no memory of this. Is it because he's not high enough level to access it?
Jiang Yanming did not think so.
Electronic hackers often have access to core information. Even though the information they access is mostly related to companies, they never noticed any trace of the anti-divine forces despite completing so many jobs.
"Uncle Zhou said he found some clues that might help him find out if the anti-Shenwu Kingdom forces exist," Jiang Yanming thought to himself, quickening his pace.
Not long after, he returned to "Jiang's General Store".
"Uncle Zhou, Uncle Li, Uncle Chen."
Upon entering the shop, Jiang Yanming saw three people sitting in front of the counter, each with a bottle of wine in front of them, but his father, Jiang Yi, was not there.
"Brother Jiang is resting upstairs. We'll help watch the shop," Zhou Baizhan said, pointing to an empty chair beside him. "Come and sit down."
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanming walked over and sat down next to the three of them.
"I heard about what happened to you in Shining City," Zhou Baizhan said softly. "You handled it well, managing to bring the Sok family of Shining City onto your side."
"The Sok family offered themselves up to us," Jiang Yanming shrugged slightly.
"In any case, it's good to have some helpers. The Sok family can help you attract some attention," Chen Moqun praised.
Li Kun urged, "Brother Zhou, tell A-Ming the clues you found."
"Hmm... My people have found that several members of the Carter family frequently patronize a club called 'The World'," Zhou Baizhan said in a deep voice. "I've investigated. This club has several branches in the Four Nations Alliance, and the members of each branch are all quite distinguished. The Crescent City branch was established before we returned to Shenwu Kingdom."
"World Club..." Jiang Yanming murmured to himself as he carefully recalled.
He soon discovered that he didn't remember the club existing, and even his identity as an electronic hacker, which he knew most about the Four Nations Alliance, had no recollection of it.
"Could it be that this club is extremely well-hidden and has never appeared in the open before?" Jiang Yanming thought it was impossible.
Imagine a club with distinguished members; a cyber hacker couldn't possibly be unaware of such a place, because such places often have a lot of paid jobs.
But the most unlikely thing happened, which led Jiang Yanming to speculate that the emergence of the "World Club" stemmed from the newly born Dark Energy Envoy's identity!
Only in this way can he have no memory of the "World Club," while in the memories of others, the club has always existed!
Undoubtedly, when Jiang Yanming acquired the identity of the Dark Energy Envoy, the world changed once again, but he was unaware of that change.
Jiang Yanming narrowed his eyes slightly, muttering to himself, "Has the world changed again..."
Seeing that Jiang Yanming remained silent, and his expression changed slightly, Zhou Baizhan couldn't help but ask, "What, do you remember this club?"
"No." Jiang Yanming shook his head. "Uncle Zhou, please continue."
"Among the Carter family members who frequent this club, two may have attacked Li Ang," Zhou Baizhan continued. "One is Farlock Carter, and the other is Ethan Carter, with the latter being more suspicious. The two had a conflict before Li Ang's car accident."
Li Kun then spoke up: "I know Ethan. He is the most outstanding member of the Carter family in the modern era. He has always been by Li Ang's side handling important matters. Li Ang does not threaten his position, so he has no reason to make a move against Li Ang."
"That's right. Although Ethan is a prime suspect, I don't think it was him who did it." Zhou Baizhan agreed. "He's ruthless. If he were the one who did it, he wouldn't have spared Li Ang's life."
"In that case, the most suspicious person is Farlock," Jiang Yanming said softly.
"On the day Li Ang was born, Farok went to the 'World Club' again," Zhou Baizhan said softly. "That's all we've found so far. Most of my people are from Shenwu Kingdom. Although we've recruited a few cyber hackers, their skills aren't that great, so it's difficult to find clues without leaving a trace."
"Uncle Zhou, leave the rest to me." Jiang Yanming nodded. "I will have the Sok family work together with the cyber hackers I recruited. If all else fails, we can investigate openly and legitimately."
"Then it's up to you." Zhou Baizhan took a hard drive out of his pocket and placed it in front of Jiang Yanming. "There's detailed information inside; you can take a look."
"Okay." Jiang Yanming put the hard drive away.
Zhou Baizhan stood up, holding a bottle of liquor, and said, "I'm leaving the shop to you."
"Ah Ming, I'm entrusting Li Ang's matter to you." Li Kun raised the wine bottle in a gesture of respect, and then downed the rest of the wine in one gulp.
"Uncle Li, you can rest assured and leave it to me." Jiang Yanming nodded.
Chen Moqun didn't say anything, just nodded, and left with Zhou Baizhan and Li Kun, carrying the wine bottle.
Jiang Yanming watched the three leave, then looked down at the bright red mark on his palm and clenched his fist.
If it weren't for the reminder from the 'World Club,' he would have almost forgotten that the world sometimes undergoes incredible changes with the emergence of a new identity.
"They're gone?" Jiang Yi's voice suddenly rang out.
Upon hearing this, Jiang Yanming looked over and saw his father standing at the entrance of the stairs not far away. He nodded and said, "Yes, Uncle Zhou and the others have gone back."
"Go and rest, I'll watch the shop." Jiang Yi sat on the recliner behind the counter, not asking any questions about Shining City.
"Hmm." Jiang Yanming got up and walked upstairs. He was used to this way of getting along with his father.
As long as it doesn't involve his safety, and as long as he doesn't bring it up himself, his father usually won't ask anything and will let him handle it himself.
Of course, Jiang Yanming understood that his father did this because he had the financial strength to back him up!
……
Back in the room.
Jiang Yanming first checked the data on the hard drive. From the data, he learned that the truck driver who hit Li Ang had already died in the accident. His family did not receive any unexpected money, only the insurance company's claim bill.
"On the surface, it seems like just an accidental car crash, but upon closer inspection, the whole incident reveals one word—roughness!"
Jiang Yanming sat in his chair, looking at the data on the computer screen in front of him, and thought to himself, "Such a rough way of doing things doesn't seem like Ethan's work."
A person capable of handling important family affairs must be meticulous and would not make such a crude plan.
"Let's start the investigation with Falock tomorrow..."
