Chapter 11: Escaped Convict 'Chu Tian'
"Smiled at you?" said Li Ran with surprise.
"Hm, I don't know why, but I have a feeling that the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives has no bad intention." Qin Hong said with bemusement, "Actually, I have always felt that the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives seems familiar. It's as though I have met him somewhere. However, no matter how I think, I just can't remember."
"If you can't remember, don't think about it." Li Ran instructed.
A while later, a knock on the door sounded.
"It should be Brother Yang. I will open the door." Qin Hong said as he walked to the living room Before he opened the door, he looked through the peephole on the door. A bespectacled well-mannered man with a height of around 1.75 meters stood outside the door. As soon as the man came in, Qin Hong closed the door.
At this moment, Li Ran came out from the room.
"Brother Yang." Li Ran greeted with a smile.
"Little Ran, you are pregnant. You shouldn't be running around. Just rest." Brother Yang said with a smile. Brother Yang's name is Yang Yun, the head of the special operation team in the entire Jiangsu and an extremely skilled person. Because the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives and the two Giants of the God Kingdom are involved, the special operation team members are all in Yangzhou.
Yang Yun looked directly at Qin Hong as he asked, "Qin Hong, you told me that you saw the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives. Can you check if he's still there?"
Qin Hong responded with a nod. He then walked to the window in the living room and peeked out of the shutter.
"Brother Yang, he is still there." As soon as Qin Hong spoke, Yang Yun immediately followed.
"Brother Yang, look! He's on the second floor of the tea house. Look at the largest window. That man is the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives. A lady is sitting opposite him." Qin Hong frowned and muttered, "Eh, isn't that...?"
"That's..?" Yang Yun was slightly surprised.
"Yea, I didn't look carefully at that lady earlier. I didn't expect her to be there. That lady is Lin Qing and she is rather famous in Yangzhou City." Yangzhou City is not small nor is it big. Thus, Qin Hong naturally knew about this famous figure.
Yang Yun nodded slightly and immediately took out his phone and dialed someone.
"Chen San, bring your team here. Er. I need your team to gather in the White Cloud Cafe opposite Qin Hong's house. I have an important mission for you!" With this, Yang Yun hung up.
"Qin Hong, just stay here and don't go anywhere." Yang Yun instructed and immediately left Qin Hong's house.
...
In a private room in the White Cloud Cafe, Yang Yun and a seemingly simple and honest middle-aged man could be seen.
Hearing the report coming from the headphones, the seemingly simple and honest middle-aged man nodded and said, "Boss Yang, the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives and the lady named Lin Qing have left the Willow Tree Tea House. Someone from my team is in charge of following Lin Qing while the other four will follow the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives."
Instead of replying, Yang Yun waited silently.
After a while, the middle-aged man said with a helpless smile, "Boss Yang, the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives has disappeared."
"Just as I expected." Yang Yun shook his head and said with a smile, "the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives could be considered the most powerful man in the world. He was a hitman, so he is very adept at hiding, tracking, and reverse tracking. It is extremely difficult to track him. Forget about it. Chen San, just ask your team to follow Lin Qing. Maybe she can provide us clues to make a breakthrough in this mission."
"Yes." Chen San immediately responded.

Teng Qingshan was walking leisurely In the ancient-looking alley.
"The people that were following me should be part of the same organization as my brother." Teng Qingshan deduced. "With my brother's status, he should know that I am the Lone Wolf of the Flying Knives." Yet, Teng Qingshan didn't care at all. In Teng Qingshan's point of view, a special agent is the same as an ordinary human being.
Suddenly, Teng Qingshan's ears pricked and he immediately accelerated.
As he arrived at a turning point, there was a skinny man wearing a hat in the alleyway ahead.
Because Teng Qingshan wanted to follow this skinny man, he didn't stay in the Willow Tree Tea House for too long. However, Teng Qingshan's skills allowed him to see not just with his eyes. He could easily track and follow a person with just the use of his ears.
"This morning, he has paced back and forth in front of my brother's house for three times. His clothing changed whenever he passed by and he would observe my brother's house every time. I don't think he has good intentions." Teng Qingshan's attention was entirely on his brother's house and would observe every passerby.
With Teng Qingshan's specially trained memory, he would never forget anything that he had seen once.
Moreover, skinny man has very poor disguising skills.
"In addition, the person's expression is weird. He has been looking at the surrounding with wariness." As a hitman that stood on the utmost pinnacle, Teng Qingshan can easily find many weaknesses. It was obvious that the person has a very weak disguise.
Teng Qingshan could easily tell that the skinny man has bad intention. Thus, how could he easily let this guy go? His brother Qinghe is his only family member.
Teng Qingshan has been following the skinny man for a long time, but the skinny man didn't notice at all.
Soon, the skinny man arrived below a six-story building in a compound area and went up the stairs. As for Teng Qingshan, he waited near the staircase and listened stealthily.
"Third floor. It's the house on the left." Teng Qingshan could easily tell where the skinny man went by just listening to the sounds.
Immediately, Teng Qingshan went up the stairs. He came to the house on the third floor and placed his ears against the wooden door.
He could hear the soft voice in the house very clearly.
"Hello, Boss Li, I have already checked that place. You never told me that Qin Hong has a pregnant wife. When I assassinate Qin Hong, I will have to kill his wife as well. Otherwise, if his wife screamed, the people around would know what happened and I would be doomed. Therefore, I think your price should increase. How about an increase of one hundred thousand? Boss, this price is nothing for you.
When Teng Qingshan heard this outside the door, he felt an intense murderous intent in the bottom of his heart.
"Not only does he plan to kill my brother, he also plans to kill my sister-in-law?"
Qinghe is his only family member. Teng Qingshan will not allow something like this to happen.
"Haha! Boss Li is decisive and straightforward just as I expected. Don't worry! I will leave right after I have completed the task. Rest assured. Although Qin Hong is powerful, I have a plan in mind that will ensure his death. Alright. Just wait for the good news." With this, the man in the house hung up.
Teng Qingshan gripped the door lock and shook the lock with his inner strength. He then pushed the door and entered the house with ease. It was as though the door was not locked.
The skinny man was lying leisurely on the sofa in the living room and humming a song out of tune. With the remote control in his hand, he turned on the TV. The skinny man then scanned the door and noticed a bespectacled young man push open the door and enter the house. The young man then closed the door with ease.
"Who are you?" The skinny man was shocked and very confused as he thought to himself, "Did I forget to lock the door? That's impossible! I am not that careless."
"Who am I?" Teng Qingshan replied as he approached with a smile.
A cold glint flashed in the skinny man's eyes as he pulled out a gun at the speed of lightning.
Something eerie then happened. The young man who was in front of the door suddenly appeared right in front and instantly took the gun.
"Crack~~" The gun barrel was twisted.
The skinny man's facial expression changed dramatically.
The hardness of the gun was obvious. This person had twisted the gun barrel with just his arm strength. How is it possible for him to win against someone as powerful as this?
"Big Brother, which organization sent you?" The skinny man was so afraid that he began shivering. He hastily asked, "Brother, I am Chu Tian and I am quite famous… I did something wrong back home earlier and am now wanted by the police. Big Brother, if I had offended you, please…"
"Shut up." Teng Qingshan said indifferently.
Chu Tian was so scared that he immediately became quiet.
"You will answer concisely whenever I ask you a question." Teng Qingshan's voice revealed no emotions. However, his cold-looking eyes caused Chu Tian's heart to palpitate.
"Big Brother, please ask." Chu Tian hastily answered.
"Are you planning to kill Qin Hong and his wife?" Teng Qingshan asked indifferently.
Chu Tian froze for a moment and hesitated.
"Crack!" Chu Tian didn't see Teng Qingshan move as he felt this intense pain in his right arm. His entire arm was forcefully snapped. It was so painful that Chu Tian wanted to scream. However, as his eyes met the cold gaze, he could only grit his teeth and force the scream back down. This was because...
During such a situation, if he had screamed, he would die even faster.
He was in such pain that drops of perspiration covered his forehead. Chu Tian then answered the question with trembling voice, "Yes, I did something wrong. I am wanted by the police anyway. Since I am already wanted by the police, I decided to make another deal when I am in Yangzhou and leave this place immediately. Are you Qin Hong's friend? If you are, then I have made a mistake. I will leave Yangzhou immediately. Big Brother, is there anything else that's bothering you? Please tell me."
"Who told you to do this?" Teng Qingshan's voice still sounded emotionless.
"I can't answer this." Chu Tian tried to force a smile as he answered, "This is against the rules…"
"Crack." The left arm was snapped.
The callousness and the arm strength were mentally crushing Chu Tian.
"I told you to answer whenever I ask a question. I do not want to ask again. You know the consequences." Teng Qingshan said indifferently, "Who is Boss Li?!"
"You know?" As soon as the escaped convict Chu Tian heard Teng Qingshan say the words Boss Li, he felt an immense anger. He thought to himself, "You knew? But you are still asking me?" Even though Chu Tian had such thoughts, he didn't dare to say a word. Both of his arms were snapped and crushed. Indeed, Teng Qingshan was too powerful.
"Answer me." Teng Qingshan said.
Chu Tian took a deep breath as he endured the intense pain on the shoulders. "Big Brother, you mustn't kill me if I answer you. If you don't agree, I won't say a word even if you torture me to death." With this, Chu Tian gritted his teeth and glared deadly at Teng Qingshan.
Teng Qingshan stared at Chu Tian coldly. He then replied, "Alright!"
Chu Tian could finally let out a sigh of relief.
In Chu Tian's opinion, such a powerful figure must value his promise.
I was asked by the chairman of Ming Shan Conglomerate, Li Mingshan. Li Mingshan is a famous and powerful figure." Chu Tian said.
"Li Mingshan… Ming Shan Conglomerate." Teng Qingshan kept these two names in mind.
Immediately, he waved his hand and formed his middle finger into the sword finger and pricked the area between Chu Tian's eyebrows. Chu Tian felt a pain in his brain before he fainted. Simultaneously, he stared at Teng Qingshan with fear and hatred. With this, his eyes dimmed.
He hated Teng Qingshan for not keeping his word.
Teng Qingshan glanced coldly at Chu Tian.
Ever since he was seven, he had struggled to survive among piles of dead people. As the most terrifying hitman, he was taught to kill by any means necessary. How could he let his opponent live just because of a promise? Moreover, this person wanted to kill his brother and his sister-in-law. Anyone who could threaten the lives of his family members would never be allowed to exist.
Teng Qingshan then left the house, leaving the dead body and the twisted gun.
"Li Mingshan!"
Teng Qingshan said internally.
Capítulo 12: Millennium Chronicle
Editor: Lucas
Chapter 12: "Millennium Chronicle"
An estate that catered solely for villas was located next to the Slender West Lake in Yangzhou City. Each villa would take a land area of at least five hundred square meters, and even the cheapest one would cost ten million.
In the center of the estate, there was a villa which took up the biggest land area and was just right next to a manmade lake in the estate. They even specially segregated one portion of the manmade lake to be part of their private pond. That villa had the best views and was naturally the most expensive one of them all.
This villa was the residence of Ming Shan Conglomerate's chairman, 'Li Mingshan'.
There was an open-air pool on the balcony situated at the third story of the villa.
Li Mingshan laid in the pool, relaxed, looking up at the stars in the sky.
Usually, when Li Mingshan was thinking about things, he enjoys soaking in the pool by himself. It relaxed his body and allowed his mind to better think through things.
"This order is worth a billion. I must find a way to get my hands on it."
Li Mingshan frowned.
"Hmmm?" Li Mingshan suddenly felt a gush of wind blowing and his upper body which was out of the water felt cold. He turned to have a look and his countenance changed immediately.
A young man wearing long black pants and a short-sleeved green shirt was seen standing on the balcony. It was Teng Qingshan.
"Who are you? How did you get here?" Li Mingshan remained calm and spoke in a deep voice.
At the same time, he walked out from the pool and got a bath towel from the side and tied it around his waist.
Teng Qingshan looked closely at him. Li Mingshan was a refined middle-aged man in his forties with an unusual elegance. "Those who don't know Li Mingshan would probably find it hard to see through him." In fact, even Teng Qingshan himself had to inquire information from 'Elena' before he came here.
Li Mingshan, forty-three-year-old this year.
When he was young, he had been a member of a gang of thieves. He eventually rose to become the leader of the gang and started running a business with the money he had gotten from stealing. This person had people working for him from both the legal and illegal paths of life. Moreover, there were also a large number of followers under him.
As such, his wealth grew rapidly.
Since then, twenty years have passed and Li Mingshan's Ming Shan Conglomerate was now worth close to ten billion.
"I'd advise you not to use the gun that's hidden in the bath towel." Teng Qingshan spoke with indifference.
Li Mingshan's countenance changed. The hand which was tying his bath towel now rapidly pulled out a gun from within. Working with people from both sides of the law, Li Mingshan's businesses had driven many families to ruins, and the illegal money lending services he operated had pushed many people to commit suicides. There were far too many people who held grudges against him.
Thus, most of the time, he would always be equipped with a gun.
The moment Li Mingshan pulled out the gun, Teng Qingshan, who was initially ten meters away, was already right in front of him.
"You..." Li Mingshan was taken aback by Teng Qingshan's speed and the gun he was holding ended up in Teng Qingshan's hand.
There was only the sound of the mechanical parts to the gun clashing together and the gun was taken apart into pieces. Teng Qingshan smiled as he gripped the steel part of the gun and twisted it into something that was like a braid. He then casually tossed it aside on the ground.
Li Mingshan was so frightened that his heartbeat got faster. However, he still forcefully calm himself down the corner of his mouth curved into a friendly smile before he said, "Brother, you have really good skills. To think that you're able to get to the third story without a sound. I'm really full of admiration for you!" What kind of skills did Teng Qingshan have to be able to reach the third story without alerting the bodyguards and surveillance system? To be able to grab steel and twist it into a braid... What kind of skills does he have?
"I'm going to ask you a few questions." There were no changes to Teng Qingshan's expression at all. Such protective means used by the ordinary wealthy people had no used against him. As someone who has traveled the whole world, unhindered, for so many years, Teng Qingshan has encountered countless of strict security precaution and procedures.
"Brother, please go ahead." Li Mingshan quickly said.
Teng Qingshan stared at Li Mingshan, "Tell me, why do you want to kill Qin Hong?"
"Kill Qin Hong?" Li Mingshan was astonished. There were not many people who knew about this. After all, Qin Hong was a member of the National Special Operations Organisation and even Li Mingshan did not dare to brazenly announce this matter to others.
"Brother, where did you hear this rumor from? It's definitely slander! They are framing me!" Li Mingshan quickly said, "I, Li Mingshan, may not be considered an honorable businessman as I have also resorted to violence and killings when I was young. But even if you were to give me plenty of courage, I still wouldn't dare to kill Qin Hong."
"Hu!"
Upon the sound of a gush of wind, Li Mingshan felt a tremendous pain in his left ear and on the left side of his face.
Teng Qingshan's slap had sent Li Mingshan flying and tumbling. He had even dropped his bath towel. Li Mingshan, in his pitiful state, was only wearing his swimming trunks.
"Brother, why did you..." Li Mingshan lifted his head and looked at Teng Qingshan somewhat furiously.
However, he was met with Teng Qingshan's cold gaze and calm voice, "You better not be trying anything funny in front of me. If you lie again, this day next year will be your death anniversary."
Li Mingshan's heart trembled.
He had his share of lawless days and had seen quite a number of murderers and ruthless people.
However, Li Mingshan felt that... when compared to this person before him, those malicious murderers were just like pets that were baring their fangs and claws.
Lowering his head to take a look at the gun's body which was now bent awkwardly, Li Mingshan completely sobered up. Then he lifted his head to look at Teng Qingshan, saying, "Brother, I, Li Mingshan, have no feud with Qin Hong at all. It's true that I hired a person to help me kill Qin Hong. However, this was because I received a request to do so from someone else."
Teng Qingshan frowned. 'Received a request?'
"Who?" Teng Qingshan asked.
Li Mingshan looked at Teng Qingshan hesitantly and the latter's gaze turned sharper.
Li Mingshan was frightened and said, "It's Shen Yangming! Two Tigers of the Northeast's Shen Yangming!"
"Two Tigers of the Northeast's Shen Yangming?" Teng Qingshan's brows rose up. He had not expected it to be Shen Yangming.
In the underworld, Two Tigers of the Northeast were considered to be quite a powerful independent hitmen team. One of them was called 'Wang Qing' while the other was 'Shen Yangming'. Both of them were A-rank hitmen. The 'Two Tigers of the Northeast' was quite famous. However, one year ago, one of the Two Tigers of the Northeast, 'Wang Qing', died. Thus, this hitmen group was disbanded.
Amongst hitmen, there were those who came under certain major organizations, but there were also those who worked alone.
Two Tigers of the Northeast belonged to the latter and had purely joined this profession out of personal interest.
"That's right. You know Shen Yangming as well?" Li Mingshan smiled bitterly and said, "Brother? Since you know of him, you should know of my difficulties. In this sphere, Shen Yangming's name is well-established. No matter how tough I am, I still wouldn't dare to offend him. This time around, he asked me to kill Qin Hong. If I refuse, it would be considered a sign of disrespect. How could I not agree to do it?"
Teng Qingshan's bladelike gaze examined Li Mingshan.
"Shen Yangming, hmph." Teng Qingshan's gaze turned cold.
Upon hearing this, Li Mingshan was astonished. This mysterious young man did not seem to hold 'Shen Yangming' in any regard.
"It's a pity, but since you've sent someone to kill Qin Hong, I must punish you!" Teng Qingshan's voice stayed as cold as before.
"No, wait," Li Mingshan said, terrified. He was a clever man, so how could he not understand what Teng Qingshan was implying? "Don't kill me, you have nothing to gain from killing me. As long as you spare me… I can give you a lot of things. I can even give you the entire Mingshan Conglomerate."
Li Mingshan knew that if you often walked on a river bank, it would be impossible for your shoes to stay dry. Therefore, he had saved himself a large sum of money in a foreign account for when he encountered a crisis and needed to escape. Even if he were to give Mingshan Conglomerate to Teng Qingshan, he could still live a wealthy lifestyle.
"I don't care about money." Teng Qingshan said indifferently.
Hearing such a reply, Li Mingshan's mind started to spin quickly.
The other party did not care for money. What should he do?
"I, I have a secret manual!" Li Mingshan's eyes lit up and he shouted, "Brother, I know that you're very strong. Although I practice Internal Martial Arts as well, I have not been able to do well in it. However… I have a secret manual, one which will definitely ensure that you'll become a topnotch expert if you were to cultivate it."
At this moment, Teng Qingshan couldn't hold back the smile on his face as he replied, "Secret manual? Become a topnotch expert? You must have become too enthralled from watching martial arts television series."
Teng Qingshan had already attained the Grandmaster Realm and cultivated the "Godly Tiger Form Technique". He could be considered an expert at the highest peak in the human world. Thus, what secret manuals could win his attraction?
"No, it's a real secret manual." Li Mingshan quickly said. "When I was young, I was actually the disciple to a small sect by the name of 'Godly Thief Sect'. Sigh, to be honest, I was just a thief. However, our sect has been down in the gutter, and currently, there isn't a single person who is able to produce inner strength."
Teng Qingshan did not know whether he should laugh or cry.
Godly Thief Sect?
A sect which did not even have a single expert who was able to produce inner strength?
"However, our Godly Thief Sect has a long history and in the past, we also had experts who had attained the Grandmaster Realm." Li Mingshan continued on. He knew that when he was dealing with a great expert like this, the secret manual might be the only thing which can save his life. "That is a secret manual which held the legacy of the Godly Thief Sect of over two thousand years. It was handwritten by a Grandmaster expert during the period of the Republic of China.
Teng Qingshan raised his brows. A hint of curiosity grew in his heart.
"Where's the secret manual?" Teng Qingshan asked.
"In my study, on the third floor." Li Mingshan let out a sigh of relief and quickly said, "Follow me."
"I would advise you not to think of escaping. The few bodyguards you have in the villa make no difference to me." Teng Qingshan said.
The moment Li Mingshan recalled the scene where the other party had bent the body of the gun, he understood that those retired soldiers would probably really be of no use in this situation. "I won't dare to harbor other thoughts. Please follow me."
Teng Qingshan followed Li Mingshan to the study on the third floor. Li Mingshan's study was very big and there was a bookshelf which covered almost half the wall. Li Mingshan walked up to the bookshelf and pressed a button on the side of the bookshelf. The bookshelf opened up to a side as if it was a door.
A vault with a locked steel door was revealed.
"It's hidden quite well." Teng Qingshan laughed and said softly.
Li Mingshan smiled and said, "After all, it is a treasure passed down by our Godly Thief Sect." With that, he opened the steel door and took out an ancient book, which was bound by string, from inside.
"Take a look." Li Mingshan passed the book to Teng Qingshan.
Tenv Qingshan took it and had a look. There were four words on this ancient book which was bound by string—"Millennium Chronicle". There were two words in a corner—Liu Yan.
