Urban Cultivation: The master who has overcome the tribulation is reborn

Before Xie Heng could scold him, he saw Xie Tian kneeling on the ground like a golden mountain overturning a jade pillar.

Even with his determination and sophistication, he couldn't help but be moved.

"Thank God! Don't be so presumptuous!"

As soon as the surprise appeared on Xie Heng's face, he thought of a horrifying guess and immediately stood up.

While pretending to pull Xie Tian, ​​he scolded him loudly.

Xie Tian, ​​who was kneeling on the ground, was trembling slightly when he heard his father, who was usually not easily angered, showing such violent emotional fluctuations.

In a hurry, Xie Heng grabbed Xie Tian's shoulder with great force.

But before he could make any other move, he heard a subtle sound.

Such a subtle movement would not have attracted Xie Heng's attention, but a subtle feeling inexplicably emerged in his heart.

The hand that he had placed on Xie Tian's shoulder suddenly seemed to have lost all its strength.

Only then did Xie Heng slowly turn his gaze and realized that the slight sound he heard was the sound of Jiang Ran's fingers tapping on the table.

When he looked over, the fingers tapping on the table had stopped.

The owner of this hand was staring at him with an indifferent look.

Xie Heng was speechless for a moment, and subconsciously withdrew his hand as if he had been electrocuted.

Jiang Ran then looked at Xie Tian who was kneeling on the ground, frowned and said in a deep voice, "Stand up!"

"I..." Xie Tian opened his mouth, but when he met those deep eyes, he was speechless.

"Stand up!" Seeing his hesitation, Jiang Ran's voice became even deeper, with a hint of anger.

Xie Tian's heart skipped a beat, and he felt like when he was a kid and got caught by the dean.

It was difficult to control his body, and he stood up as Jiang Ran spoke.

Jiang Ran's brows finally relaxed and his tone became calm.

“A man’s knees are as precious as gold; a hundred kneelings are not as good as one standing.”

"No matter what happens, stand up straight first."

Although Jiang Ran's words were calm, they were full of admonition.

But neither Mr. Zhao Wu nor the somewhat embarrassed Xie Heng felt disgusted deep down.

I even agreed with what he said.

"Thank God, you remember that."

Jiang Ran didn't pay any attention to the reactions of Xie Heng and others. He looked at Xie Tian with burning eyes, appearing to be speaking with great sincerity.

"If you want to ask someone to do something for you, and if it's useless to say it while standing, then it's more likely to be even more useless if you say it while kneeling."

After he finished speaking, he looked at Xie Tian, ​​who looked a little reserved, and sighed softly.

"Go ahead, what do you have to say that requires you to kneel down before you can say it?"

Upon hearing this, Xie Tian immediately put aside the embarrassment in his heart and his tone became very sincere.

"Brother Ran, can you help me find someone?"

When Xie Heng heard this, his face became extremely stiff and he glared at Master Zhao Wu fiercely.

The latter smiled awkwardly, not daring to look him in the eye, and looked around pretending to be calm.

A trace of suspicion flashed across Xia Wanwan's pretty face. She looked at them quietly for a few times and saw that Mr. Zhao Wu was feeling guilty.

I had a rough guess in my mind.

Jiang Ran didn't bother to pay attention to the eye contact between the three people. He frowned again and looked at Xie Tian who spoke with some uncertainty.

"Are you sure there is nothing wrong with your statement? Let me find someone for you?"

Xie Tian nodded without hesitation.

"Tell me in detail." Jiang Ran was silent for a while. Seeing his resolute look, he knew there must be something hidden.

Xie Tian took a deep breath, suppressed his slightly excited mood, and explained concisely.

"Brother Ran, the person I want to ask you to find is actually my brother."

"He went to Ningzhou some time ago and lost contact with us completely ten days ago. My dad has mobilized all his connections, but he still hasn't found out where he is."

Xie Tian's tone was normal at the beginning, but at the end, he was obviously a little depressed.

"If I hadn't accidentally heard Uncle Zhao mention my brother's disappearance on the phone, I'm afraid I would still be in the dark."

Seeing Jiang Ran’s furrowed brows, Xie Heng couldn’t help but interrupt Xie Tian.

"Don't cause trouble for Master Jiang. The comrades in Ningzhou haven't replied yet. We can't simply make assumptions and conclude that your brother is missing."

"Just stay in Nandu obediently. I will tell you the first time I get any news about your brother."

Xie Tian lowered his head and did not respond to his words.

Xie Heng wanted to say something else, but was stopped by Jiang Ran.

"There's no need to say these words."

"As the head of Nandu, you have a strong network of connections. The chances of you being able to find the person through normal channels are definitely high."

"But thank God you can ask me for help, which means it is difficult to find accurate information with the channels you have access to."

Xie Heng was speechless after hearing these three sentences, but they were all facts and he had no room to refute them.

Xie Tian stood there silently, and looking at the expression on his face, he clearly agreed with Jiang Ran's words.

"Ningzhou." Jiang Ran said a few words casually, leaving Xie Heng speechless, and then whispered softly.

"Are you sure that this is where your brother disappeared?"

Xie Tian raised his head and looked at Xie Heng hesitantly. Most of the information he got was obtained indirectly from Zhao Laowu, and he was not clear about many specific matters.

Seeing that things had come to this point, Xie Heng stopped talking about other things.

There was a hint of apology in his eyes, "Thank you for being young and ignorant. I'm sorry for causing trouble to Master Jiang."

He first said sorry, and then told the news he had heard.

"After investigation and evidence collection by law enforcement officers in Ningzhou, it can be confirmed that the missing person's location is in Ningzhou."

"To be specific, it is a trading market on the border of Ningzhou. The locals call it Jinshiji."

When Xie Heng said this, a hint of pain involuntarily flashed across his eyes.

After all, he is his son. No matter how calm and confident he appears on the surface, he is full of sorrow deep down in his heart.

To some extent, when Xie Tian set his sights on Jiang Ran,

Although Xie Heng was a little flustered and worried that he would anger Jiang Ran again, he still had a glimmer of hope in his heart.

The progress of obtaining information through normal channels has been stalled. It is possible that Jiang Ran can use his connections in the martial arts world to

If he finds some new clues, as long as the clues can be connected, he will be able to continue the investigation.

After listening to his words, Jiang Ran thought for a moment before speaking.

"You mean, Xie Tian's brother's final resting place is this Jinshiji?"

Xie Heng smiled bitterly.

"The situation on the Ningzhou border is complicated, and it borders other countries. After all, I am in Nandu and cannot do anything about it, so I can only find the Jinshi Collection. As for him, he has not been to other places since then."

"That's unknown."

After smiling bitterly and sighing, Xie Heng added another sentence.

"However, the law enforcement team in Ningzhou is still continuing its investigation. Maybe there will be new information soon."

Jiang Ran narrowed his eyes slightly and shook his head without comment.

"You also said that you are not strong enough in Nandu. I am afraid you don't know what the situation is in Ningzhou."

"It doesn't matter whether there is new information or not. Since you have found Jinshiji, let's assume that his brother's last stop before he disappeared was Jinshiji."

Xie Tianyuan looked a little confused, and it was obvious that he hadn't figured out all this information yet.

However, he did understand Jiang Ran's last sentence and immediately asked stupidly.

"and then?"

Jiang Ran stood up and smiled softly, "Then we will go to Ningzhou and ask around at the so-called Jinshiji to see if anyone knows anything about your brother."

Xie Tian trembled all over and couldn't help but feel a little unbelievable.

"Brother Ran, are you really willing to go to Ningzhou to find out about my brother?"

Jiang Ran glanced at him and said helplessly, "What else?"

"Then I'll go with you!" Xie Tian was stunned, and without much thought, he shouted excitedly.

……

"Nonsense!"

Lin Huaizhang slammed the table and pretended not to notice Zhu Shao's teasing expression.

He looked at the man standing in front of him with his neck stiff and silent with great embarrassment, and felt a little exasperated.

"Contraband is a red line, and no one has the courage to cross it."

"You keep saying that Master Jiang killed a group of drug dealers. Did you see it with your own eyes?"

Cao Zhifeng had a stern face, but he was too disdainful to lie and shook his head slowly.

"You have no witnesses or physical evidence. Isn't this tantamount to slander?"

Seeing him shaking his head, Lin Huaizhang finally caught the loophole and couldn't help but ask back.

When he noticed that Cao Zhifeng had a stiff face and didn't say a word, he thought for a while and then expressed his own opinion.

"Suppose... I mean suppose!"

"If those drug dealers were really killed by Master Jiang, do you think they should be killed?"

When Cao Zhifeng heard this, he couldn't help but frowned and began to argue in a calm voice.

"Crime is crime, murder is murder, the two cannot be confused."

"Even if these criminals cannot escape death, they still have to face the trial of the law."

"Just because these people are destined to be sentenced to death, we cannot let Jiang Ran kill them at will. If everyone does this, it will inevitably cause social unrest."

Lin Huaizhang couldn't help but hold his forehead and sigh.

After finally calming down, he looked straight at Cao Zhifeng's expression.

However, I didn't expect that the other party looked so serious, and I could completely feel the credibility of the other party when he said these words.

After getting such a result, Lin Huaizhang just wanted to walk away, feeling too lazy to pay attention to this idiot.

He finally understood why Cao Zhifeng was unpopular.

It would be fine if he was just a little stubborn, but this guy is not only stubborn, but also has a one-track mind and does not know how to adapt.

The most important thing is that I can't read the wind direction and I don't have any eyesight at all.

A normal person who had just witnessed Jiang Ran crushing Xiao Songping and others to death would not dare to say anything too much.

Not to mention something like killing drug dealers, there is absolutely no problem in turning a blind eye.

Anyway, these inhuman beasts will all die in the end.

If Jiang Ran had taken action earlier to clean up these people, perhaps some people could have been saved from being harmed by contraband.

If you think about it from another perspective, it's actually a good thing.

Lin Huaizhang could not have expected that Cao Zhifeng would actually bring this matter to the table.

They even wanted him to make a statement on the spot and promise to bring Jiang Ran to justice.

To put it bluntly, he is simply crazy.

"Okay, even if everything you said is true, I can still question Master Jiang."

Lin Huaizhang thought about it and changed his way of speaking.

"The problem is that you have to produce relevant evidence. You can't just rely on your own guesses and reasoning to conclude that these things must have been done by Master Jiang."

"Do you have evidence?"

When meeting Lin Huaizhang's eyes, Cao Zhifeng couldn't help but reveal a hint of helplessness on his resolute face.

He recalled the scenes of his several encounters with Jiang Ran and shook his head dejectedly.

Seeing this, Lin Huaizhang breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that he had finally given up this guy's unreasonable thoughts.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhifeng, who had just shaken his head dejectedly, suddenly became excited and his voice became cheerful.

"Mr. Lin, I really can't provide any evidence that Jiang Ran killed those drug dealers, and I can't conclude that he is a murderer based on speculation alone."

"But he first killed dozens of people with his internal energy in Zhu Laoyuan, and then killed Gu Longzhang, Jiang Shoucheng and Xiao Changwei."

"This behavior is not just my random speculation, but something that everyone has witnessed."

"With so many people testifying, it's entirely possible to convict him."

The expression on Cao Zhifeng's face was very excited, as if he had finally caught Jiang Ran's weakness.

In addition to Jiang Ran and others, the group of people who were standing on the steps just now were all in the room.

But what made Cao Zhifeng feel a little embarrassed was that when he moved his gaze away, the others silently avoided his gaze.

Whether it was the beautiful young woman and the plump veiled woman beside her, or Xiao Yu'er and Lu Yu Niang who came from Nangang Street,

And Mr. Jin from Shenghe Building Materials turned a blind eye and said nothing.

What made Cao Zhifeng feel most heartbroken was that Yang Zhengyun, who was usually so upright, actually had such an attitude.

His eyes were full of disbelief, and he even couldn't help but question out loud.

"Yang Zhengyun! Have you completely forgotten everything we said in our oath?!"

Realizing that Yang Zhengyun didn't dare to look him in the eye, Cao Zhifeng raised his voice tremblingly, "Answer me!"

"Cough cough..." Lin Huaizhang glanced at Zhu Shao who was in a leisurely manner, and felt a little embarrassed, so he coughed twice.

Under normal circumstances, no matter how angry the person is, after making such an obvious reminder,

Even the most arrogant and domineering person will tone down his temper a little.

Unexpectedly, Cao Zhifeng seemed not to hear his light cough. He looked around the room and then stared at Yang Zhengyun again.

"Where's Liu Yuan?!"

"You don't dare to stand up and speak, and there is no reason to stop him!"

"Others may not dare to be witnesses, but I believe he dares to do so." Cao Zhifeng stared with his eyes wide open and spoke excitedly.

"Truth cannot be buried in silence."

Yang Zhengyun had originally turned his head away, but when he heard him talking about his apprentice and speaking with great confidence, he could not help but turn his head back suddenly.

He looked upright, but now he looked like a madman, with veins bulging on his neck.

"Cao Zhifeng! Are you done yet?!"

"You want to go your own way and no one can stop you, so why do you want to use justice to coerce A Yuan?"

"No matter where he is, I hope you can think about this child. Ask yourself, is letting him be a witness helping him or hurting him?!"

After a long conversation, Yang Zhengyun finally regained his composure.

He looked at Cao Zhifeng, whose face turned blue and red, and sighed.

"Old Cao, let me tell you, Grandmaster Jiang didn't fight with anyone today."

"Whether you ask the two girls, the child's mother, or even Standing Committee Member Zhu and Elder Lin, the results will be the same."

"Master Jiang is the distinguished guest invited by Master Zhu."
