Chapter 462: That’s Right, You Are Guilty
"Lingyun... Yunman... Linglong..."
Jiang Xinghai looked helpless, but each of his senior sisters deliberately kept a stern face, giving him the cold shoulder.
Zhong Yunman chimed in, "Found something good and didn’t share it with your sisters first? Tsk, tsk. You’re guilty as charged."
"Looks like I’ll have to make a sacrifice."
Jiang Xinghai rubbed his nose. "Don’t you three worry. When I get the chance, I’ll ’take good care’ of you all. Just don’t come crying to me then."
"Shouldn’t you be the one crying, little junior brother?"
"Hmph, you think the three of us can’t handle you?"
"Little junior brother, don’t be so serious. When the time comes, whoever begs for mercy first is the puppy."
Any one of these three senior sisters was a peerless, heroic woman in her own right, yet here they were, ganging up to tease Jiang Xinghai.
It was a good thing this scene was confined to the four of them. If any outsider were to witness it, they would probably lose their minds.
Chu Lingyun, owner of the Black Gold Consortium, one of the top three conglomerates in the world!
Zhong Yunman, a Three-star General of the War Department!
Zhao Linglong, Commander of the Celestial Net mercenaries, one of the top three mercenary groups in the world!
A normal person would rarely ever see these three women smile.
Let alone see them speak so flirtatiously, teasing a man.
But the man they were facing was Jiang Xinghai.
Their little junior brother!
The four of them had met at Kunlun’s Jasper Pool and all received the true teachings of their master, Yao Gu. The bond between them had long surpassed that of blood.
A short while later, the group video call ended.
Chu Lingyun was still abroad and hadn’t returned yet.
Zhao Linglong was still in the Imperial City.
And Zhong Yunman was at the border.
In the end, Jiang Xinghai decided to first act on the intelligence Zhong Yunman provided and find Arhat!
Only by finding Arhat could he learn of his parents’ whereabouts!
As for Black Cloak, Mr. Long... or rather, Ji Xiao, that could wait.
After all, he now knew Mr. Long’s true identity. The man wasn’t going anywhere!
DING-DONG!
Just then, in a WeChat group named "Kunlun," Zhong Yunman sent a location pin.
"Myanmar?"
Jiang Xinghai saw that the location was in the area known as the Golden Triangle, at the junction of Myanmar, Pur Country, and Laos.
He had seen it in recent news headlines: many of his fellow countrymen from the Dragon Country had been tricked into going to the Myanmar region, where they were forced into illicit activities.
Scammers, in particular, were running rampant!
He had once resolved that after finding his parents and killing Mr. Long, he would make a trip to Myanmar to rescue his countrymen.
And while he was at it, he’d bring those rampant criminals to justice.
He never expected that the traitor, Arhat, would be hiding in Myanmar of all places!
Zhong Yunman sent a message: "Little junior brother, since that place is outside our country’s borders, I can’t provide assistance due to my position. However, your third sister’s mercenary group is extremely influential abroad."
"Little junior brother, contact Jin Lin when you arrive. She’s my right-hand woman and is currently in Myanmar. She can act on your command," Zhao Linglong messaged.
Jiang Xinghai replied immediately: "Thank you, my dear sisters! Tonight... no, tomorrow morning, I’ll take the first flight to Myanmar."
"A flight will be a roundabout route. According to Arhat’s last known location, he’s in a forested area. You’d be better off entering from our Dragon Country’s Yun Province. You’ll save at least half the travel time," Zhong Yunman messaged.
’Makes sense. I’ll do that,’ Jiang Xinghai thought with a nod.
RING RING RING...
Just then, his phone rang. The caller ID showed the name Leng Ning.
Jiang Xinghai suddenly remembered—he had almost forgotten his meeting with Leng Ning at the Black Cat Cafe.
"My dearest sisters, I’ve got to run for now. I have a small matter to attend to. Talk to you all later."
He quickly sent a message in the Kunlun WeChat group, then continued driving.
「Five minutes later.」
Black Cat Cafe.
Jiang Xinghai got out of his car and walked over.
Leng Ning was sitting by the window inside the cafe and saw Jiang Xinghai approaching from a distance.
Their eyes met, and they both smiled.
Jiang Xinghai strode inside. "Have you been waiting long?"
"I just got here myself."
Leng Ning gave a sweet smile, snapped her fingers at a waiter, and then asked Jiang Xinghai, "What would you like to drink?"
"I’ll have whatever you’re having," Jiang Xinghai said, unconcerned.
"Two lattes," Leng Ning said to the waiter with a slight nod.
Today, she wore a blue-and-white porcelain-patterned qipao. Her graceful and elegant figure made her look like a living ink wash painting, drawing the eyes of everyone around.
"What made you decide to invite me for coffee?" Jiang Xinghai asked, gazing at Leng Ning.
He had a stomach full of questions for her.
"I just felt that we’ve never really relaxed like this together, have we?" Leng Ning said with a captivating smile.
Jiang Xinghai shrugged. "You’re right. It’s been a long time since I’ve been able to relax like this."
"Chuchu went back to the Imperial City two days ago," Leng Ning said, getting to the point.
Jiang Xinghai nodded. "I asked her about it. She said it was half for personal reasons, half for business."
"Maitreya Buddha said the same thing. I find it strange. Is the Chu Family still being controlled by Black Cloak?" Leng Ning was puzzled by this.
"From what I know, the Black Cloak headquarters in the Imperial City was purged not long ago. Maybe that’s the real reason Chuchu left." Jiang Xinghai had also just learned this from his senior sister.
Leng Ning was shocked to hear this. "What’s your source? How credible is it?"
