"Good!"

Jiang Chuan shifted his steps, but inwardly thought that the people in the Celestial Essence Community were indeed highly alert.

There wasn't even a chance to pull out the money; they didn't engage with his conversation at all.

"Captain Chen."

"Hmm?" Chen Dong turned his head, "Who are you, what's the matter?"

"I'm from next door, looking to spend some money to ask you something."

"From next door, spending money?" Looking at the few '10' Happiness Coins in Jiang Chuan's hand, Chen Dong snorted through his nose, "Alright, what's the matter? Let me hear it first."

"It's nothing major, I heard that Inspector Cheng lives in our area, do you know him?"

"Inspector Cheng?"

Chen Dong was taken aback for a moment, then furrowed his brow, "You'd have to ask our Brother Long, he might know. We're just here to work, we have no idea about inspectors."

"Do you know where Brother Long is?"

"Oh, he's in the mall. Wait for a moment, I'll take you there."

"That would be great, thank you."

Finally finding a breakthrough, Jiang Chuan breathed a sigh of relief and stood aside.

However, within minutes, the atmosphere around turned somewhat tense for no apparent reason. The workers who were just joking and laughing now had their heads down working, even the sound of hammering became softer.

The crowd watching quietly stepped back a bit, casting glances his way with an indescribable look.

Just as Jiang Chuan felt something was off, Chen Dong came over without any expression on his face, "Let's go, Brother Long is waiting for you."

"Let's go."

Chen Dong led the way in front, while Jiang Chuan felt it was quite odd but could only follow.

He didn't care much anyway; regardless of his identity or strength, crushing a group of ordinary people was still easy.

At the mall entrance, a few young men were standing, with fierce lights in their eyes, scrutinizing him from top to bottom.

"Got any guns? Take them out; guns are prohibited in our community."

"Just one handgun." From his waist, he took out a defensive handgun; the young man took it, followed by two others who came up to search him.

"Alright, you can go in now."

The door was pulled open, the inside seemingly a bit dark and deep.

He could vaguely see a man moving in the center of the mall, and Chen Dong nodded his mouth, "That's Brother Long, go ask him."

"Thanks, brother."

Jiang Chuan had no doubts and immediately strode over.

However, after just a few steps, he heard the heavy sound of a door closing behind him.

"Come over here, kid."

Brother Long, standing in the activity area, beckoned with his finger, "I heard you're looking for Inspector Cheng?"

"You know?"

"Of course I know. Do you have some business with him?"

Brother Long stepped forward two steps, his sharp eyes scanning him up and down, "You're a practitioner?"

"I just want to ask Brother Long something. On the night of the infection wave, did you see Inspector Cheng?"

Jiang Chuan cupped his hands, taking out the remaining Happiness Coins from his pocket, "I just want to know some information. If Brother Long knows, these are yours."

"Do you have an identity badge?"

"No." Jiang Chuan shook his head honestly.

Before he even finished speaking, a violent wind suddenly rushed towards him.

Brother Long leapt forward like a leopard, his right fist striking towards his face at a nearly vertical angle, the fist wind carrying a fierce intent, clearly a killing move.

Jiang Chuan's pupils slightly contracted, his body instinctively shifted to the left, avoiding the heavy punch.

Following a slight strength from his shoulder, he extended his hand to push, actually using his strength directly to fend off the pouncing Brother Long.

"Got some skills, an Expert in Embracing the Embryo?"

"I dare not claim that."

Jiang Chuan's eyes slightly cooled, "I don't want to fight you, I just want information. If you don't want to share... I will just leave."

"Then you're dreaming."

Brother Long sneered, his foot suddenly stomping towards the ground, his whole person darting forth like an arrow, his right fist carried by the wind towards Jiang Chuan's heart, while his left elbow covertly blocked his retreat, the moves even more vicious than before.

But this time, Jiang Chuan did not dodge. His toes ground against the ground, his figure suddenly sinking.

Just as the fist was about to reach his chest, he suddenly spun and sidestepped, simultaneously hooking Brother Long's wrist with his left hand as if it were an iron hook, his right hand following up to strike toward the other's elbow crook, heavily bumping against it.

Snap.

Brother Long only felt his right arm go numb and weak, his offensive instantly stagnating.

Yet Jiang Chuan did not give a chance to breathe, twisting his body with the momentum, leveraging Brother Long's charge as a fulcrum, performing a crisp and swift shoulder throw!

Bam.

Brother Long's sturdy body was slammed to the ground like a ragged sack.

"Opening ordinary Tendon Gates, embracing a fake embryo, relying solely on foul breath to fight, this approach... won't last long. Better stop being so aggressive in the future."

Jiang Chuan shook his head, intending to turn and leave.

However, as he took a step, a crisp clack sound echoed from behind.

Brother Long, thrown to the ground, grinned, coughed twice, and pulled out a handgun from his abdomen, disengaging the safety.

"Brother, I'm afraid you can't leave just yet."

"Just you, with this gun?"

Jiang Chuan chuckled, feeling his finger lightly tap on his belt, where a three-inch-long self-defense knife was hidden.

The gap in realm was apparent here.

He was fully confident, that before the other could fire, a flying knife would directly take Brother Long's throat.

However.

Brother Long laughed, getting up from the ground, dusting off himself, and waving his hand towards the overhead circular corridor.

Click, click, click...

A series of crisp sounds from lights turning on connected, and the dim mall was instantly as bright as day.

Jiang Chuan abruptly looked up, completely stunned the next second.

Above the circular corridor on the second and third floors, countless gun barrels extended in unison.

Handguns, rifles, even four machine guns?

What is this? Are they mad?

"Come on, be honest now."

Brother Long clapped his hands again, and four robust men stepped out of the shadows, holding iron chains as thick as an arm in their hands.

"Unity of Heaven and Man is quite impressive, but you can try. See if you can dodge a machine gun sweep."
