Chapter 362 Exposure!
And the person in the surveillance footage, whether in stature or the explosive muscles barely concealed by the black cloth, unmistakably indicates that this is the same person who abducted him back then.
Ye Huan had two reasons for eliminating the Zhong Family. First, from the perspective of a victim, he couldn't bear to see the Zhong Family commit heinous atrocities for profit, ruining thousands of families.
Secondly, he wanted to see if he could use this lead to trace back and find the muscle-bound man who abducted him, to ask him who he really was, and why he forcibly took him away!
Unexpectedly, such a big surprise occurred; the muscle man actually revealed himself!
Saying Ye Huan didn't care about his origins would be a lie. He wanted to know who his parents were, how they were doing, and whether they had looked for him after he was abducted.
Although there was no debt of raising him, Brother Huan cared deeply.
"Hoo—"
Exhaling a breath, Ye Huan calmed his mind and continued watching.
In the surveillance footage, Qin Ya was loudly reprimanding Jiang Tiansha.
Jiang Tiansha smiled sinisterly and replied:
"In the past, I would've definitely sold you to the red-light district..."
"But now, I have important matters to attend to!"
Then came the expertly executed kick that sent Qin Ya flying into the emergency operating room.
Sold to the red-light district?
Ye Huan's face changed slightly; it was hard not to associate this person with the Zhong Family.
He took a screenshot and sent it to Li Ying, asking, "Do you know this person?"
Li Ying quickly replied.
"Sorry, I forgot to tell you about this at the time because I was almost discovered by Jiang Tiansha and panicked, so I forgot about it."
"This person's name is Jiang Tiansha. The time you sent Zhong Buwang to the hospital, I saw him there. He is in cahoots with the Zhong Family and seems to be quite skilled. Zhong Wuya trusts Jiang Tiansha's combat ability extremely, as if with him, handling the matters in Celestial Sea would be a piece of cake."
"Zhong Wuya has also entrusted all the Celestial Sea affairs to Jiang Tiansha. Of course, Jiang Tiansha's reason for coming to Celestial Sea is important because his apprentice, named Poison Valley, died in Celestial Sea."
Within a minute, Li Ying quickly sent three messages.
The information in these three messages was undeniably substantial.
This muscle man named Jiang Tiansha was indeed in cahoots with the Zhong Family; he was a part of the Zhong Family's enterprise, likely playing the role of the Zhong Family's Guardian God and enforcer.
Additionally, the deceased third-ranked assassin in the Dark World, Poison Valley, was his apprentice!
The main purpose of his visit to Celestial Sea was likely to investigate the cause of Poison Valley's death and help the Zhong Family solve the troubles in Celestial Sea.
Yet, Jiang Tiansha didn't know that the one who killed Poison Valley and the "troubles" facing the Zhong Family were the same person!
The situation of having enemies in the dark and oneself in the light had already been broken.
Having understood Jiang Tiansha's intentions, many subsequent matters became much simpler.
Ye Huan poured himself a cup of tea, sipping it with a playful look on his face.
Jiang Tiansha's strength, across the entire Dark World, was indeed formidable!
Ye Huan estimated that Jiang Tiansha's ranking on the Celestial God Rankings was around forty-eighth, which is to say, at the tail end of the Celestial God Rankings.
But among the strong on the Celestial God Rankings, even the fiftieth rank, the true tail end, commands respect from everyone in the Dark World except for the forty-nine ranked above them!
Because, even the fiftieth on the Celestial God Rankings is enough to dominate the top of any other ranking in the Dark World!
Of course, these rankings exclude the Assassin Rankings.
After all, the top of the Assassin Rankings is the thirteenth-ranked God of Slaughter on the Celestial God Rankings—Ye Huan!
Ye Huan had no worries that Jiang Tiansha would cause any waves or that he would track him down for revenge.
Because in his eyes, Jiang Tiansha was nothing more than an ant he could crush with ease.
This little episode was quickly thrown to the back of Ye Huan's mind.
He sent another message to Li Ying on WeChat.
"Find an opportunity to get me the dash cam footage from Zhong Wuya's regular car."
Li Ying quickly responded with an "OK" gesture, agreeing to the request.
This was something Ye Huan had been contemplating for a long time.
As the Patriarch of the Zhong Family, Zhong Wuya would naturally be aware of and have visited the secret base where abducted individuals were hidden.
Such a top-secret place, Zhong Wuya would definitely not take a taxi or bring unrelated personnel there. If he were to go, there would only be one way!
That is, he would drive there himself!
So, as long as they could access Zhong Wuya's dash cam footage, there was a chance to find the address of that secret base.
Ye Huan had another purpose in putting Zhong Buwang into the ICU, which was to divert Zhong Wuya's attention.
After all, with his last biological son hanging by a thread, Zhong Wuya would likely stay by his side all night, not sparing any thought for other matters out of concern.
Allowing Jiang Tiansha to handle the troubles in the Celestial Sea shows that the goal has been achieved: the younger son is dead, the elder son severely injured, and Zhong Wuya is physically and mentally exhausted, unable to attend to other matters.
This situation conveniently allows Li Ying to carry out many actions.
As for Jiang Tiansha noticing something off about Li Ying, Ye Huan wasn't surprised.
Jiang Tiansha had definitely interacted with Zhong Qianqian personally and was familiar with her.
Li Ying could deceive Zhong Wuya with her disguise, but fooling a strong figure in the Celestial God Rankings wasn't that simple.
After pondering, Ye Huan sent a message to Li Ying.
"Try to avoid contact with Jiang Tiansha. He's very powerful and may notice something."
Unfortunately, it was too late.
...
Celestial Sea City, First People's Hospital, ICU Floor Section, Women's Restroom.
"Ah!!!"
The sound of piercing cries echoed again and again.
Li Ying's head was covered in blood, pressed into the toilet.
"Damn it, I wondered why you were taking so long in the bathroom. Turns out you're here to leak information, damn you!"
Zhong Wuya kicked Li Ying's pelvis furiously.
When Jiang Tiansha returned to the ICU, the first thing he did was ask where Zhong Qianqian went.
Because he had long suspected that there was something wrong with this "Zhong Qianqian"!
Zhong Wuya trusted Jiang Tiansha the most and naturally said that Zhong Qianqian had gone to the restroom.
Upon learning that she had been there for ten minutes, Jiang Tiansha dragged Zhong Wuya towards the women's restroom.
Zhong Wuya was initially puzzled and irritated, after all, Zhong Qianqian was his daughter. How could an outsider storm in like that?
Jiang Tiansha didn't care, only trusting his instincts.
Which told him there was a "problem" with this Zhong Qianqian!
Sure enough!
There was indeed a big problem!
After kicking open the stall door and grabbing the phone, he saw on the screen the chat records of Li Ying colluding with Ye Huan!
Zhong Wuya never thought his daughter would betray him, so he flew into a rage, grabbing the bathroom's sink pipe to beat her fiercely!
"Zhong Qianqian, you're so heartless! It's one thing to talk about surrendering, but you actually did?! I raised you for over twenty years, only for you to become a traitor?!"
"I get it, you just want to make peace with Ye Huan, right? Because your brother and your little brother are one dead and one disabled, so you think you're my heir and want to stop fighting him, is that it?!"
"But let me tell you, even if your big brother is dead, you're still the only descendant I have, I won't pass the position of Patriarch to a traitor like you, I'll give it to the branch family instead!"
"A traitor? If our secrets get exposed, you think you can survive? You've killed so many kids and women you didn't like, sold over a hundred women overseas! If we're finished, will the police spare you? You'll die too, you conniving wretch!"
Zhong Wuya's insults grew nastier as he scrolled through the chat records between Li Ying and Ye Huan, becoming increasingly enraged.
Furiously he continued.
At the same time, the pipe hit Li Ying's back repeatedly, making her screams more and more desperate.
The nurses heard the noise and rushed over, but upon seeing it was the Zhong Family Patriarch, they quickly retreated, too scared to intervene or call the police, fearing retaliation. They even "kindly" closed the bathroom door on their way out.
The pipe left Li Ying's skin torn and bleeding, but Zhong Wuya's anger was unappeased, his features twisted with fury.
"Zhong Qianqian, I'll kill you, you wretched brat!"
"Snap!"
"Ah!!!"
"Snap!"
"Ah!!!"
The pain reached its peak.
Li Ying's skin was torn, and blood streamed from her head.
If Zhong Wuya swung once more, Li Ying would die.
But this time, Jiang Tiansha stopped Zhong Wuya.
"That's enough, we still have a use for her..."
