Urban Martial Saint

Chapter 1783 - 1783: Ye Jun Is Alive

Ye Qing and Li Lianshan were sitting in the room. Ye Qing came here to see Li Lianshan, initially wanting to gather with his brothers and to entrust some matters in case of emergency. If this confrontation truly ends with mutual harm, and he loses his life in the battle, there are many things he needs to entrust to Li Lianshan.However, unexpectedly, upon coming here, he encountered such a sudden situation, and the matters concerning these kids also weighed heavily on Ye Qing's heart.

In the current scenario, who exactly is still using such malicious tactics behind the scenes to provoke their relationship with the Purple Robe Lama?

Ye Qing knows that this matter definitely wasn't done by Corpse Ghost Dragon because, although Corpse Ghost Dragon is tricky, he's not one for long-term planning. While clever, he's not skilled at executing long-term schemes. Besides, with Corpse Ghost Dragon's power, he wouldn't stoop to such things, as he believes his power can crush everything.

So, if this wasn't done by Corpse Ghost Dragon, then who did it?

Ye Qing was filled with doubts, and his intuition told him that this matter was anything but simple. Especially at such a critical juncture, Corpse Ghost Dragon was so dominant that if Shenchuan City also fell to him, he would quickly become invincible. But even in these times, someone is secretly engaging in such things behind the scenes, suggesting that this person isn't greatly afraid of Corpse Ghost Dragon.

It's worth noting that even the Twelve Green Halls, in this situation, have set aside grievances with the Seven Steering Committees of Hong Alliance to join hands against Corpse Ghost Dragon. If Corpse Ghost Dragon isn't eliminated, everything else is idle talk. Therefore, someone not worrying about Corpse Ghost Dragon right now can only mean that this person doesn't care about Corpse Ghost Dragon. Who could it be that isn't worried about Corpse Ghost Dragon?

As Ye Qing was deep in thought, someone suddenly pushed open the door, and Zhao Chengshuang rushed in from outside, shouting, "Big news, big news, big news! Quick, quick, quick, call Ye Zi over! Quickly get Ye Zi over here!"

Ye Qing stood up, puzzled, "Looking for me?"

Zhao Chengshuang had just run in from outside without noticing Ye Qing inside the room. Now seeing Ye Qing, he was taken aback and exclaimed in surprise, "Oh, you're here too? Why are you so free today?"

Since the Corpse Ghost Dragon incident, Ye Qing had returned to Shenchuan City and barely had time to meet with these two brothers. Zhao Chengshuang had visited this estate several times without encountering Ye Qing, so he never expected to run into Ye Qing this time.

"What happened?" Ye Qing asked, knowing that if it wasn't something significant, Zhao Chengshuang wouldn't have asked Li Lianshan to call him.

"It's major, super major!" Zhao Chengshuang gestured to Li Lianshan's boys nearby, saying, "You guys step out for a moment."

Li Lianshan's boys promptly exited the room tactfully, while Zhao Chengshuang went to the door to check around, as if fearing someone might be eavesdropping outside.

"No need to check, no one is outside," Ye Qing said, having already heard that everyone outside had walked into the courtyard, ensuring they couldn't hear the conversation inside the house.

Not convinced, Zhao Chengshuang closed the door and gestured to Ye Qing without speaking, stealthily walking over to the sofa to sit down.

"What's the matter?" Li Lianshan looked at Zhao Chengshuang in amazement, saying, "Those outside are my most trusted men, completely reliable. Is it necessary to send them all away?"

Zhao Chengshuang shook his head, saying, "It's not about trust; this matter is of such great importance that too many people can't know. It's said that a crowd means loose lips. Your boys certainly wouldn't leak the news. But if someone lets slip while drunk, that'd be very troublesome."

"What matter warrants such seriousness?" Ye Qing asked, puzzled.

"Shh, keep your voice down," Zhao Chengshuang gestured for them to be quiet as he sat close, whispering, "Ye Zi, take a deep breath first, no matter what you hear from me, you must stay calm and definitely don't lose your cool!"

"Lose my cool?" Ye Qing looked at Zhao Chengshuang, puzzled, asking, "Did something happen with the orphanage?"

"Not about the orphanage," Zhao Chengshuang replied, "Quit with the idle talk, take a deep breath and listen to me slowly."

Ye Qing looked at Zhao Chengshuang, remained silent for a moment, then took a deep breath, looking at Zhao Chengshuang, "Alright then."

Zhao Chengshuang nodded, saying softly, "Listen carefully now..."

Saying this, Zhao Chengshuang suddenly turned to look at Li Lianshan, saying, "You take a deep breath too, keep calm!"

"Damn," Li Lianshan gave Zhao Chengshuang the middle finger, but obliged by taking a deep breath.

"Come on, I can't hold it anymore," Li Lianshan shouted.

"The matter is..." Zhao Chengshuang glanced at Li Lianshan, then at Ye Qing, speaking in a low voice, "I just received news sent back by Black Bear!"

"What!?" Ye Qing and Li Lianshan exclaimed simultaneously, both standing up, their faces full of shock and disbelief, needless to say. Especially Ye Qing, whose excitement even caused him to tremble, knowing well what Zhao Chengshuang's words meant.

Ye Qing had sent Black Bear to Western Province to search for his brother Ye Jun a long time ago, without any news coming back. Truth be told, Ye Qing himself was beginning to feel desperate. After all, those kidnapped by Boss Lin back then mostly met a grim end after being crippled. Ye Jun was short one hand and one foot, how could he still be alive?

And just as Ye Qing had lost hope, he suddenly received news sent back by Black Bear. Ye Qing knew Black Bear's character; if there hadn't been progress, he wouldn't have sent word back. Since he sent news, it means he must have found something about Ye Jun!

"Calm down! Calm down!" Zhao Chengshuang waved for them to settle, saying, "Don't get too excited, listen to me slowly. Geez, didn't I just say, don't get too worked up, if people outside hear your loud shouts, they'll definitely be curious what's going on. This news must absolutely not get out!"

"Right, right, this news... this news must not get out..." Li Lianshan was equally thrilled, grabbing Zhao Chengshuang's arm, whispering, "Then... then hurry and tell us, what exactly is the message Black Bear sent back? Could it be... he found Ye Jun?"

Ye Qing was nervously watching Zhao Chengshuang, hardly able to speak. Despite his brilliance and dominating prowess, concerning matters about his brother Ye Jun, even Ye Qing couldn't remain composed at this moment.

"Of course, otherwise why would I rush over here!" Zhao Chengshuang looked at Ye Qing, saying, "Just now, I received the message Black Bear sent back, saying he discovered Ye Jun's traces in Xifu City in Western Province."

"Is... is it really Ye Jun?" Ye Qing's voice trembled; this was his only brother. He had left the military camp without hesitation all those years to come to Shenchuan City in search of this only brother. But after all this time, he had lost hope. Now, suddenly receiving news about Ye Jun made him hesitant to accept it.

"To confirm it, you have to see for yourself," Zhao Chengshuang took out a photo from his pocket, handing it to Ye Qing, "Here's the picture sent back by Black Bear, take a look, is this truly your brother Ye Jun?"

Ye Qing hurriedly took the photo, and as he looked at it, his hands couldn't help but tremble. For so long, he had dreamt of this moment. Unexpectedly, there was still a chance to see his brother Ye Jun one day, his excitement was truly overwhelming.

The photo wasn't very clear, seemingly taken with a phone, depicting a scene outside a large mall. Near the mall, crowds bustled amidst a vibrant atmosphere. Among them, a thin, raggedly dressed man was missing a foot, using a crutch, his left arm bearing an iron hook was using it to pick up a plastic bottle on the plaza.

The photo wasn't aimed at the man, making his image blurry. But with one glance, Ye Qing immediately recognized him as his brother Ye Jun!

"How is it? Is it him?" Li Lianshan, already more anxious than Ye Qing himself, asked nervously on the side.

Ye Qing took a deep breath, staring at the photo for a long time before saying in a trembling voice, "It's him!"

Li Lianshan and Zhao Chengshuang exchanged glances, both jumping up excitedly, with Li Lianshan insisting, "Where's Black Bear? Call him, make him bring Ye Jun back!"

"I know, but Black Bear said he discovered this person while reviewing surveillance, this photo is even a surveillance screenshot," Zhao Chengshuang explained, "Afterwards, he personally visited the plaza but couldn't find the person again."

"What happened then?" Li Lianshan frowned, "Could Ye Jun still be controlled over there?"

"Hopefully not," Zhao Chengshuang replied, "If he were controlled, he'd be begging, but as you saw, he's merely picking up plastic bottles, entirely trying to make a living on his own. Therefore, I suspect, while he's not under control, he is likely in dire poverty."

"Then quickly find him!" Li Lianshan urged once more.

"I want to, but finding one person among thousands isn't easy," Zhao Chengshuang said, looking at Ye Qing, "Black Bear wanted you informed that he's already making efforts to find this person. Based on the surveillance location, Ye Jun should be living in Xifu City, reducing the search area considerably. He told you not to worry, at least it's easier now with the narrowed search area than when we were searching aimlessly before."
