Chapter 70: Clues

tly.He said, "You have a great deal of energy in Dongzhou, enough to hinder the Shadow Gate's operations and save his life. Is that true""You don't believe me" Yuan Hao sneered coldly. "Do you think j...An empty line. Let me know if you have any other text you'd like me to translate!

"Haha, good, great!" Qin Hongyuan laughed heartily.

"That's great, that's wonderful! From now on, we are really a family!" Ruirui danced with joy in Qin Yuxin's arms.

Qin Yu Xin's eyes immediately filled with mist...

At four o'clock in the afternoon, a family returned home from the park.

Ling Hao originally wanted to have a private chat with Qin Yuxin, but he received a call from Lu Yue.

"Anything" Ling Hao asked as he picked up the phone.

"Big Brother, last time Zhao Yuehua mentioned that thing, there's been some progress!" Lu Yue responded.

"Hmm" Ling Hao raised an eyebrow. "Found someone"

"Not yet, but someone should know something about the situation!" Lu Yue paused for a moment before asking, "Big brother, have you heard of a person called Black Mountain Eagle"

"Black Mountain Carving" Ling Hao was slightly taken aback. "The underground world's voice of the East Continent before"

Before the Zheng family's misfortune, Ling Hao didn't really care about the underworld, but he had heard of this man called Heishandiao.

Back then, the underground world of Dongzhou was nothing to Yuan Xiong. At that time, he probably didn't even know where a place called a "corner" was, let alone taking up a knife there to make a living.

Back then, the Black Mountain Carving held the same status in Dongzhou as Yuan Xiong does now, an absolute king of the underworld.

"Yes!" Lu Yue responded, "The judge found out that the Black Mountain Hawk disappeared right before and after the Zheng family incident."

"It was after his disappearance that the underground world of Tozhou plunged back into chaos, giving Yuan Xiong a chance to rise to prominence."

"You mean, the Black Mountain Carving is connected to the Zheng family" Ling Hao spoke again.

"I'm not sure yet!" Lu Yue responded. "But things are too coincidental!"

"Back then, the Black Mountain Sculptor was just like Yuan Xiong now, in his prime. If there wasn't a special reason, he shouldn't have chosen to leave."

I think, even if he wasn't involved in Zheng Jia's affairs, given his status in Dongzhou back then, he might have known something, who knows!

"Shall we meet him"

"Where is he now" Ling Hao asked after a moment of thought.

"According to my investigation, he disappeared after leaving Dongzhou five years ago and didn't reappear until two years ago," Lu Yue spoke again.

Over the past two years, he has been operating under the alias Zhang Kun, running a casino in a small town 200 kilometers away from Dongzhou. Business is reportedly booming.

"Is that so Then go meet him!" Ling Hao responded.

What Lu Yue said is apparently reasonable.

If nothing unusual happened, a figure like Heishandiao who operates in the underground would be unlikely to willingly leave during his peak.

Moreover, using a pseudonym now clearly indicates a problem!

"Okay!" Lu Yue responded before hanging up the phone.

About half an hour.

Lu Yue and the Judge arrived at Qin Yuxin's house, then they drove away with Ling Hao and the others.

"Have you ever asked Yuan Xiong about the Hei Shan carving He must know quite a bit." Ling Hao asked shortly after Lu Hu drove off.

"Asked!" Lu Yue nodded.

At that time, he was just a local figure on the outskirts of Dongzhou. He was several layers removed from Heishandi and had not much interaction with him.

After Heishandiao withdrew from Dongzhou, the underworld subsequently had two more leaders before it was his turn to take over.

He knew very little about what happened at the time, he just heard that Heishangiao had offended some big shot and was driven out of Dongzhou.

"Hmm!" Ling Hao nodded slightly.

Half an hour later, the three arrived at the small town Lu Yue had spoken of.

"Brother, should we just surround his casino and get him out" the Judge asked.

"No rush, let's not startle the snake in the grass!" Ling Hao shook his head slightly.

He chose to stay in this small town, he must be hiding from something. He should have already prepared his escape plan.

"Let's go into the casino and take a look around first!"

"Received!" The judge nodded, then pressed down hard on the gas pedal.

Twenty minutes later, the Range Rover stopped in front of a medium-sized manor on the outskirts of the southern part of the city.

"Show your membership card!" A burly man at the gate stopped the car.

"I came here with high expectations, what about the card" Lu Yue asked.

"No entry without a personal introduction!" the man replied in a low voice.

"Just do me a favor!" Lu Yue took out a few banknotes from the glove compartment of the Land Rover and handed them over.

"Hold on!" The man took the money, looked at it, then picked up his phone and dialed a number.

Two minutes later, he returned to the car and said, "Park the car outside and follow me!"

"Thank you!" Lu Yue responded.

In a moment, under the man's guidance, the three of them applied for an ordinary membership card. Although it was an ordinary card, it still required a minimum recharge of five million.

This underground casino looks like they're playing big.

Then, the three of them walked toward a three-story building inside the estate.

Boom!

As soon as he reached the door, he saw a dark figure being kicked out from the doorway by someone. The figure landed heavily on the ground, spouting a mouthful of blood and covered in wounds, with one arm dangling limply at his shoulder.

"Dare to cheat here, this time I'll cut off your arm as a warning. If there's another time, don't even think about keeping your head on your shoulders!" A muscular man in black said in a deep voice.

"I... I didn't cheat. It's... it's you guys who can't afford to lose..." the man stammered.

"Still trying to defend yourself Are you really looking for death" The man in black stepped forward two paces. "I'll give you one minute. If you don't get out, you won't be leaving today!"

"You... you guys are stealing money, I..." The man spat out another mouthful of blood.

"I don't want to live, I'll give you a way out!" The man in black frowned, and raised his foot to stomp on the man's chest.

"For a little bit of money, you don't have to go overboard, do you" the judge said.

Then the man helped him up. “Come on, let’s go. Money is important, but you need to be alive to spend it!”

"Hmm" The man in black looked at the Judge, his brow furrowed. "Get out of here and don't get yourself into trouble!"

"Well, well, welcome guests! If people knew how you treated your visitors, no one would dare to gamble here," the judge said lightly.

After finishing his words, he looked back at the man: "Aren't you leaving Are you really willing to risk your life for some money"

"Thank you...thank you!" The man mumbled a thank you and staggered towards the manor gate.

The man in black looked at Ling Hao and the others again, probably surprised by the aura emanating from them. He opened his mouth as if to speak but said nothing, then turned and walked towards the hall.

Then the three continued into the first-floor hall.

Looking around, there are all kinds of gambling equipment available. There are quite a few people gathered around each gambling table.

Then, the three of them strolled around the hall, taking a look at each gambling table. The stakes were high; they played hundreds of thousands per round.

It seems Heishandiao isn't willing to retire after all, he has raised quite a few people!

In a short while, the three arrived at a nearby rest area and sat down. The Judge spoke first.

"This kind of filthy den should have been shut down long ago!" Lu Yue nodded in response.

In this hall alone, there are at least three warriors of the late stage, not including those in the private room.

"With this kind of strength, even the current Yuan Xiong might not be able to withstand it!"

"Brother, what do we do next Should we just grab someone and ask them" The judge nodded then looked at Ling Hao.y lanterns, 1,800 drones entered everyone's field of vision.Except for the one in the middle, all the other drones flew into the controlled airspace in a heart shape."Look, it's the Heart of the Unive...
