Then, following the lead, Su Jing had Luo Qilin and Su Ti investigate further. They quickly found the person and tagged him for Su Jing. Su Jing also paid this 'Shadow' a personal visit and captured him.
He was indeed the "Shadow" who had been contacting Dong Qi and the others, but he was not the mastermind. He was just a VIP member of the "Black Market," someone who did tasks for money. He had no idea who wanted to capture Wei Xiaoxuan.
"It seems that the other party must have investigated me and knows that I'm not easy to deal with, which is why they are being so cautious," Su Jing sneered as another lead turned to a dead end.
He wasn't in a hurry and continued to follow the trail. The previous incident involving the so-called Black Market had led to Xiao Rui's capture, but at that time, Su Jing only used it as a warning and didn't further investigate. Now, Su Jing didn't mind destroying the entire Black Market.
"Young Master Yuan, we have a problem," A young man rushed into an office, closed the door, and spoke in a low voice.
"What's wrong?" Yuan Yining asked.
"The Shadow has disappeared. It's highly likely that Su Jing has captured him."
"How is that possible? Didn't we leave no clues behind? It's practically impossible for anyone to find those thugs so soon, let alone find Shadow this quickly," Yuan Yining was shocked when he heard the young man's words.
"I don't know either. I don't know how he managed to do it, but it seems like he has targeted the entire Black Market now. He's conducting a comprehensive investigation, and sooner or later, he'll find us."
Yuan Yining's face turned grim after hearing this news. He had thought that even if Su Jing noticed something fishy, he wouldn't be able to find much. He could hide in the shadows, carefree, and conduct various investigations in the future.
But who would have thought that with just a tiny clue, Su Jing could swiftly investigate and expose everything? His investigative abilities were truly extraordinary.
"It seems like we need to expedite that plan," Yuan Yining sighed.
"Should we inform Huo Yunshu and Fu Hongxue?"
"No need. They will be informed of what they need to know. But there are things they don't need to know," Yuan Yining narrowed his eyes as he spoke.
…
"Sir, where should we start the plan?" the young man asked.
"Let's go back and organize all the information first. We need to analyze it carefully when it comes to this Su Jing. We have to be cautious, even more cautious then we have been all this time," Yuan Yining said.
Su Jing's sudden counterattack came too abruptly and fiercely, making him realize the intense sense of crisis. He had to plan ahead and be extra careful when it come to dealing with Su Jing.
They hastily left the office and returned to a villa and soon opened a computer and pulled up all the data, carefully examining and analyzing it.
The first set of information was about Spider-Man, and the information mainly focused on the two instances of Spider-Man's appearances.
It also included information related to Wei Xiaoxuan, Luo Chong, and Nalan Fei, who were involved with Spider-Man. Among them, the details regarding Wei Xiaoxuan were the most extensive.
The reason why Yuan Yining wanted to capture Wei Xiaoxuan was twofold.
Firstly, he believed that Wei Xiaoxuan was somehow connected to Spider-Man, and it was possible that she might have a relationship with him.
Secondly, she was getting too close to Su Jing, and secretly investigating her would risk getting noticed by Su Jing, making it difficult to carry out the plan. If they captured her and gained control over her, they might not only obtain information about Spider-Man but also about Su Jing.
They might even directly lure out Spider-Man and have a valuable conversation with him. However, they didn't expect that what should have been an easy and foolproof task would end up in a colossus failure.
Despite their fool proof plans and calculations, they didn't anticipate that Wei Xiaoxuan possessed such formidable strength and was willing to jump off a building rather than be captured.
The second set of information was about Snake Scale Male, which included an investigation into Lu Yiming, who was somehow associated with Snake Scale Male, as well as the police's findings regarding the discovery of the massive snake scale.
These two sets of information had also shocked them when they first saw them. The incident involving the discovery of the enormous snake scale was suppressed by the police, so it didn't become public knowledge.
Upon further inquiry, they discovered the peculiar nature of the incident. Several people were bitten to death by a snake, and they all died in a gruesome and mysterious manner.
Inside the room, there was an iron cell that was sturdy and had been bent and shattered from the inside, with traces of blood and chunks of the massive snake scale inside of it…
The third set of information was about the recent widespread disappearance of the population in Zhongyun City, the mysterious abduction of Murong Xian'er, and Su Jing's intrusion into a rental house while riding the Golden Eagle.
It particularly investigated Murong Xian'er and the families of the missing individuals.
The fourth set of information was about Su Jing.
"We have conducted such detailed investigations, and it's evident that there are various anomalies in here. However, why do all the clues and persons related to them disappear in crucial places?" The young man sighed as he spoke.
"That's normal. If they didn't hide well, the country or Su Jing would likely cause trouble for them. I anticipated that it wouldn't be easy to find them directly. So, we have to lure them out. But once the bait is out, Su Jing will definitely take notice. That's why the plan is necessary," Yuan Yining said as he pondered for a while before pointing at the second set of information about Snake Scale Male. "Let's start with them."
…
In an office, Li Sheng was looking at two pieces of news. One was about Zhongyun Kangfeng Hospital's treatment for cataracts and deafness, and the other was about Su Jing saving Wei Xiaoxuan.
He didn't join forces with Huo Yunshu, Fu Hongxue, and Yuan Yining to deal with Su Jing, but he kept a close eye on the news, ready to see how things unfolded.
"Su Jing can treat cataracts and deafness. As my grandfather's age advances, his vision and hearing are deteriorating. He might need Su Jing's help in the future. Should I tell him about Huo Yunshu, Fu Hongxue, and Yuan Yining teaming up against him and the possibility of them being involved in Wei Xiaoxuan's falling incident?" Li Sheng contemplated and he also hesitated in doing anything at this moment.
His dilemma lay in the fact that once he told Su Jing, it would mean standing against Huo Yunshu, Fu Hongxue, and Yuan Yining.
