Chapter 44: I want to help you a little
After the two entered the city, they jumped on the rooftops.
Not long after, we arrived at a luxurious and elegant courtyard.
At the same time that the two men fell down, several guards immediately surrounded them.
"Who dares to break into the Huangsha Gang leader's mansion?"
The leader shouted sharply.
Jiang Heng ignored the others and threw the middle-aged man to the ground.
The middle-aged man hurriedly got up, glared at the guard leader, and shouted in a deep voice: "Get out of here!"
Several guards were about to get angry, but when they saw the middle-aged man's face, they were suddenly shocked.
“Master Wan Gang?”
How could they have thought that the normally domineering and powerful Wan Gang Leader would one day be in such a state of despair?
It was like a little chicken being held in the hand of a young man covered in blood.
“Wait! That boy’s clothes...”
“Disciple of Daluo Sect!”
Jiang Heng's clothes were already stained with blood. Without looking carefully, no one noticed the Daluo Sect's logo on the clothes.
Although they didn’t know what exactly happened between Gang Leader Wan and this Daluo Sect disciple, several guards did not dare to ask any more questions and quickly bowed and retreated.
“Let’s go! Go get it out!”
Jiang Heng’s indifferent voice sounded.
Middle-aged man Gang Leader Wan shuddered subconsciously and was about to move when he suddenly stopped again.
“Sir, if I hand over the Fire Cloud Iron Mother, can you let me live?”
When faced with death before, he was frightened and confused, but now that he has calmed down, of course he must try his best to try his best to survive.
Otherwise, if you are determined to die, why should you hand over the Fire Cloud Iron Mother?
“Hand it over and I will hand you over to the sect for disposal.”
"If you don't pay, I'll kill your whole family and turn your mansion upside down."
“You choose one.”
The leader of Wan Gang's heart sank.
He knew that now that the matter had happened, his robbing and killing of the Daluo Sect's garrison had been exposed without a doubt, and if he fell into the hands of the Daluo Sect, there would be only one way to die.
If you don't hand it over, judging from this young man's performance, he may really be able to do things that will harm his family.
As for the Fire Cloud Iron Mother, after a thorough search, it is still within the possession of Daluo Sect. At most, it will only take some more time.
“That’s it, I’ll take you there.”
Wan Gang Leader felt as if he was dead for a moment and his expression was gloomy.
He took Jiang Heng to his study, took out a wooden box from a hidden compartment, and took out the Fire Cloud Iron Mother.
This is a palm-sized piece of cyan metal, with a red cloud-like substance inside that slowly moves and flows, as if it were a living creature.
Jiang Heng took it.
At the moment of contact, I felt a huge heat flow from the palm of my hand into my body.
The feeling is like holding a blazing flame.
It’s a pity that even if it is a real flame, Jiang Heng’s body has extremely high resistance and can be manipulated at will.
“Sure enough, it’s amazing that you can’t feel any heat in the air, but as soon as your body comes into contact, it immediately releases a huge amount of heat energy.”
Jiang Heng took the Huoyun Iron Mother and turned it over and over for a while, then put it in the wooden box.
He was sitting on the chair behind the desk and suddenly looked at Gang Leader Wan.
“Master Wan, right? How is your family’s cultivation?”
Gang Leader Wan’s eyes widened and he said angrily:
“Didn’t I take the initiative to take out the Fire Cloud Iron Mother? What else do you want?”
Jiang Heng was not angry and said with a smile:
“Don’t get angry yet, I’m just asking a question, you answer my question first.”
Gang Leader Wan was silent for a moment and whispered:
"My two sons are not engaged in serious work, and their cultivation talents are average. They are only now cultivating in the physical realm."
“What about your family wealth?”
Although he didn’t know why Jiang Heng asked this, he had no choice but to answer:
“As the leader of the largest gang in Chuanjiang City, I naturally have a good fortune.”
“Are there any enemies?”
Gang Leader Wan was stunned for a moment, and then he seemed to think of something, and his face suddenly turned ugly.
Although he did not answer, Jiang Heng also saw the answer. He said softly:
“My family is rich, my cultivation is shallow, and I have enemies, probably more than one…”
“How long do you think they can live after you are gone?”
Wan Gang Leader was shaken all over, and suddenly he was sweating profusely.
After a long time, he managed to calm down. He looked at Jiang Heng who was sitting upright, took a deep breath and asked:
“Sir, if you have anything you want me to do, please just say it!”
Jiang Heng sighed softly and said:
“I don’t want to see innocent people die in vain, so I want to help you a little bit.”
“You have too much wealth, which can easily attract the covetousness of hungry wolves, so I can accept it to avoid these potential crises.”
Gang Leader Wan was so angry that he was shaking all over, but Jiang Heng continued:
“Also, even if you don’t have that much money, there are still enemies who are eyeing your family, so I can help them move to other cities to live in seclusion.”
“In the meantime, I will step in to protect them.”
"what do you think?"
Gang Leader Wan has completely calmed down. He nodded without hesitation: "Okay! I'll give you the money!"
He knew very well that his two useless sons would definitely not be able to keep their huge family fortune, and they might really bring bad luck to them.
Jiang Heng also offered to help his family move, which solved his worries.
No matter whether what the other party says is credible or not, for now, he can only believe it.
Accompanied by Jiang Heng, Gang Leader Wan took out an exquisite wooden box from a hidden compartment in another room.
When he opened it, there was a large pile of one thousand taels of Wantong Bank notes inside.
In this world, the universal gold and silver bills are all issued by Wantong Bank. They can be exchanged for money in all dynasties and in any big city. They can fully guarantee the value, are easy to hide, and are not easily damaged.
Hence, for general large-value transactions, banknotes issued by Wantong Bank are used.
Jiang Heng counted roughly and found that there were at least more than a hundred banknotes in his hand, which was more than 100,000 taels.
“Just that little money?”
Jiang Heng frowned and looked at Gang Leader Wan.
Although this amount of money is considered a huge amount of wealth, compared with the other party's status as the leader of the largest gang in Chuanjiang City, his net worth seems to be low.
Equivalent to an underground leader in a big city, with a family fortune of just over 100 million?
Gang Leader Wan’s face darkened.
You robbed him of his money, but it turned out to be too little?
But he didn't dare to say this. The safety of his family would depend on the other party's help.
He barely controlled his expression and said:
“Sir, I have to spend thousands of taels of silver every month on my cultivation, so I can’t save much money.”
“In addition, we have a large family and a lot of daily expenses. We have two useless sons and spend every day living and drinking..."
Speaking of this, Gang Leader Wan became depressed.
“So, this is most of my savings.”
Jiang Heng nodded and didn't bother to ask any more questions.
“Let’s go, bring your family to see me, and make arrangements for your funeral.”
The two of them walked out of the room and heard a commotion outside.
Jiang Heng’s ears were sensitive and he heard Mi Wenjie’s voice and immediately shouted:
“Junior brother Mi, I’m over here!”
