Zheng Weijun was eventually carted away by his assistant and driver . He ended up thoroughly drunk .
Wang Yao did not forget to tell them, “Take care of him . ”
“Rest assured, Mr . Wang . ”
Wang Yao got a cab and left the hotel . Once he returned home, he immediately went up the southern mountain .
Things were silent on the mountain . Nothing happened throughout the night .
The next morning, the sun rose, as usual .
Thousands of miles away in He County, Miao Qingfeng and Miao Changhong were in a restaurant .
“He might be leaving town today . ”
“Were you able to find out where he is going?”
“I did . It’s most likely Tianjin . ”
“When are we going to depart?”
“We’ll wait . We can’t stand out too much now . ”
“Tianjin is huge . Just be mindful not to lose him,” Miao Changhong said .
“Didn’t we bring a lot of good stuff with us on this trip?”
“The bugs?”
“Yeah . ”
“How would we bug him now? He isn’t anywhere near approachable right now . ”
“There’s no need to bug him . He isn’t going alone . Yang Guanfeng or Lu Xiufeng might be going there with him . We could bug those two and follow them instead . ”
“Let’s hurry up!”
“Well, I’ve already bugged them,” Miao Qingfeng said .
In the afternoon, a car was seen leaving He County .

“They left the county . ”
“Lu Xiufeng?”
“Yeah . ”
“You really have everything planned out, eh . ” Miao Changhong smiled after hearing that .
“Who will be the ones tracking him?” At this time, it was best for the two of them to not disappear right . If any problem arose, they would have been the first ones to be suspected .
“Someone from the village is tailing him,” Miao Qingfeng said . “When they reach their place and get the location confirmed, we’ll make our move . ”
“If anything happens thousands of miles away, it probably won’t be traced back to us . ”
“Sure, and he will already have a taste of pain by then . ”
Under the calm surface of He County, things were actually boiling
“What do you mean?”
“We managed to trace Miao Tianchuan, but something happened to the one following him . ”
“What happened? Don’t be anxious . Tell us everything . ”
“The guy’s dead . ”
“Dead?”
It was the first time an officer had died on the job because of the case .
“Goddamnit!” That officer immediately cursed .
The case had no new developments . Now, one of his own was dead . It was truly infuriating .
After hearing the news, both Lu Xiufeng and Yang Guanfeng stayed silent for quite a while . They smoked nonstop .
“Things can’t go on like this,” Yang Guanfeng said . “Miao Tianchuan is no ordinary man . He’s too dangerous . ”
“Yeah, we’ve never faced a criminal of his kind,” Lu Xiufeng said .

He was the type of criminal who could be discovered as the culprit, yet the police were unable to do anything about it .
“Shoot on sight?” Lu Xiufeng asked .
Yang Guanfeng lowered his head . He started at the ash falling on the ashtray .
“We can do that, but not somewhere with a lot of people . Who knows what he brought with him . Things will get a lot messier if more people end up dead . ”
“Indeed . We’ll need to think this through . ”
In a small town about 200 miles from He County…
“Did you kill someone again? It was a cop this time!” Miao Qingshan read the news on his phone . He looked up in surprise at Miao Tianchuan, who looked calm and composed .
“They’re too obnoxious, so it’s about time to show them what we’ve got,” Miao Tianchuan calmly replied .
This was not the first time something like this had happened to him . When he set up his company a long time ago, he had frequently gotten his hands dirty . Back then, he was doing so as a gun-for-hire . Now, he was doing so to shake himself free of those people .
“They might have traced us, and people from the village will soon be onto us,” Miao Tianchuan said . “I’m afraid that you don’t know some things . Along with Miao Xihe, there are others from the village who are difficult to deal with . They are older people . Given how Miao Xihe cares about face a lot, he won’t mobilize those people if there is not an absolute need to . Things are different now . I figure they will be coming out of the mountain soon enough . If they find us, it will be a lot of real trouble for us . ”
He knew far more about the secrets of the village than Miao Qingshan . Despite the latter being the grandson of the previous chief, he had been sheltered . Be it the previous chief or his son, no one told Miao Qingshan about the brutal reality of their village . They might have done so to prevent traumatizing him, as well as to keep him away from all the fighting .
Miao Qingshan did not say anything . He just continued frowning . He was struggling deep down . He had many doubts about the whole situation .
It was clear that things were in a dire state . In truth, he had not done anything . Be it in the village or another place, he had never killed anyone . He had not harmed anyone, yet he still became a wanted criminal at large . Worse still, it was for something very severe . He followed Miao Tianchuan and ended up shouldering more and more of the other man’s dirt . Now, he was unable to get rid of any of the dirt .
Things can’t keep going on like this!
His thoughts about leaving Miao Tianchuan grew increasingly strong .
“What are you thinking?” Miao Tianchuan asked as he looked at Miao Qingshan .
“Nothing . ”
“Are you thinking that I’m going too far?”
“Yeah . ”
“Heh, Qingshan, you are indeed the grandson of the previous chief, but there are still things you know too little about,” Miao Tianchuan said . “Be it in the village or outside, nothing is as peaceful as it seems to be . Darkness is everywhere . It’s a dog-eat-dog world out there . ”

“Come, want a cigarette?”
“No, thanks . ”
It was getting increasingly dark outside .
After toiling for a whole day, Miao Chengtang finally arrived in Tianjin . The huge city, which was near the capital, was over a hundred times more bustling than the village . The people who came with him arranged for his temporary residence . It should have been Lu Xiufeng showing with him . Something had happened, so he headed back instead . It was a veteran police officer who was taking care of him .
When he got there, Miao Chengtang finally breathed a sigh of relief .
“This place should be safe, thanks . ”
Miao Qingfeng, who was thousands of miles away, looked glum because he lost his quarry .
“What happened?”
“Lu Xiufeng headed back not long after he left town . Something happened back home . He sent someone else to do the job . ”
“Huh?” Miao Changhong was dumbfounded . “What should we do now?”
“We will wait,” Miao Qingfeng said . “Those two have to go there sooner or later . They can’t just leave Miao Chengtang to his own devices .
“Isn’t there something called GPS or whatever? Can’t we just look for his car and be done with it?”
“We didn’t get that part covered beforehand,” Miao Qingfeng said . “It’s too late to talk about that now . ”
“No worries . He isn’t going anywhere . ”
Miao Changhong did not say anything else .
It was easier said than done . It was difficult to find a hidden person in the small county they were in, let alone a huge city somewhere else .
In Tianjin, thousands of miles away, Miao Chengtang settled into his new surroundings and met up with Miao Qingyuan, who was a friend of his back in the village . When they saw each other, both of them looked happy . Coming across a familiar face in a foreign place was something worth celebrating . Miao Qingyuan introduced him to someone else . That person had brought money .
“What do you think of Tianjin?” Xu Xinyuan asked with a smile .
“It’s not bad,” Miao Chengtang replied .
This was a totally different world from the village, as well as He County . Those were small places . Tianjin, on the other hand, was incredibly busy . People and vehicles of massive numbers were prowling the streets . He was still getting used to it all since it was his first time there .
“Great . ”
“This is what we talked about before . ” Xu Xinyuan handed him a bank card . The $100,000 had been deposited into the account .
“Thanks . ” Miao Chengtang hesitated for a bit before taking the bank card . It signified that both parties were in business .
“Alright, let’s get the food ordered,” Xu Xinyuan cheerfully said . “We’ll talk as we eat . ”
Before long, fine dishes of food filled the entire table .
“Alright, a toast to a fruitful partnership and friendship . Cheers . ”
“Cheers . ”
Miao Chengtang and Miao Qingyuan emptied their respective glasses .
“Come, let’s eat . ”
This was the first time they had met . Xu Xinyuan did not rush with questions regarding the Valley of Thousands of Medicine . They simply chatted like old friends who had not been in contact for a while .
The concept of throwing a long line out to catch a big fish was not an alien concept to him .
This was the first time they met, so both the host and guest merrily drank .
“If you’ve any problems, feel free to drop by,” Xu Xinyuan said .
“Well, thanks . ”
Xu Xinyuan bode farewell and left . The remaining two men looked for a teahouse and asked for a private room .
“Alright, who is that guy?”
