Siheyuan: My name is Cao Xing, and I have a strong background

After three hours of unremitting flight, Cao Xing finally arrived at this famous city that never sleeps.

At this moment, the clock has quietly pointed to three o'clock in the morning.

Even in such an era, the bustling Shanghai market is still brightly lit at this moment.

Cao Xing, who was high in the sky, was still a long distance away from the city when he saw from afar the lights on the ground twinkling like stars.

He concentrated on controlling his body and slowly landed on a mountain top that was towering into the clouds.

As soon as he landed and stood firm, Cao Xing began to breathe heavily.

"Huh...huh..."

Using mental power to fly for a long time and at a high intensity made him feel extremely tired like never before.

It was similar to the aftereffects of using mental power to control Zheng Lingxian, except that this time his body control ability was extremely strong and he did not faint.

Beads of sweat the size of beans kept oozing out of his forehead, soon gathering into thin streams that flowed down his cheeks.

Not only that, due to excessive consumption of mental energy, his entire body began to tremble slightly uncontrollably.

Knowing that all these symptoms were caused by excessive use of mental power, Cao Xing did not dare to delay at all. He quickly took out a large bowl from his arms, which was filled with clear and transparent spiritual spring water.

He tilted his head back and drank the full bowl of spiritual spring water. The cool and sweet spring water instantly slid down his throat and into his stomach, and a cool feeling spread, which made him feel a little more comfortable.

But once I use my mental power, I still feel a sharp pain in my head.

Cao Xing took out another bottle of primary physical fitness potion and drank it all.

Although this primary physical potion has no effect on improving his physical condition, it can also be used as a recovery potion, and its recovery effect is much better than that of spiritual spring water.

It's just a bit of a luxury.

After all, a bottle of elementary physical potion can make a master. If it were really auctioned, it would probably fetch hundreds of millions of U.S. dollars.

It was indeed a bit excessive for him to use it as a recovery potion.

But he couldn't care about these things now, he didn't want to waste even a minute.

After determining the direction, it soared into the sky again and flew towards the distance.

He had already contacted Liao Wu on his way here.

Liao Wu had already told him the Gao family's exact coordinates and reference objects. Besides, he had been in Shanghai for a few years, so he should be able to find the location.

This is a villa area, which was formerly the French Concession and is now state-owned property.

But some prominent families in Shanghai can still live here, including the Gao family.

The Gao family's reputation was already very loud during World War II.

At that time, various forces were rampant in the Shanghai Stock Exchange, but no one dared to touch the Gao family.

Because the Gao family was a capital tycoon at that time.

It can be said that whoever is in power in the Shanghai Stock Exchange cannot do without the financial support of the Gao family.

Even Xiao Ri didn't dare to touch the Gao family at that time. After all, there were many foreign forces behind the Gao family and they could not be offended easily.

Of course, the Gao family was also quite low-key at that time, so the entire Gao family had a smooth transition.

To this day, the Gao family still keeps a low profile and basically does not show up in public.

However, the officials trained by the Gao family in recent years have spread across various government departments.

Moreover, the economic lifeline of the Shanghai Stock Exchange is also in the hands of the Gao family. It is no exaggeration to say that the Gao family is a local tyrant.

Cao Xing hid in the dark, looking at the spacious manor in front of him, with mixed feelings in his heart.

The fact that there are private individuals who can afford to live in such a large villa in this day and age fully demonstrates the strength of the Gao family.

Cao Xing's mental power spread out, instantly covering an area of ​​one thousand meters around him.

According to his spiritual perception, there was no one from the Gao family villa except servants and bodyguards who were there to conceal their identities. This made him dumbfounded.

"The Gao family is surprisingly so careful."

Cao Xing had no choice but to search for any signs in the villa.

He had already seen the detailed list of the Gao family's current personnel composition.

Gao Ya has two sons in their forties and fifties, and these two sons have more than a dozen grandchildren.

The eldest grandson has a child.

It can be said that the Gao family now has four generations living under one roof.

However, there was not a single person from the Gao family in the villa, as if all of the Gao family’s direct descendants had disappeared.

However, this may fool others, but it cannot fool Cao Xing.

It was easy for him to find the Gao family members. He just had to search the entire Shanghai city.

With his spiritual perception now able to cover an area of ​​one thousand meters in radius, it wouldn't take him long to explore even the largest city.

"Gao, you are playing hide-and-seek with me but you have found the wrong opponent!"

Cao Xing sneered, and after drinking two more bottles of physical potion, he finally recovered almost completely.

He suddenly increased his speed, his body turned into a phantom, and he moved directly through the Shanghai Stock Exchange.

However, even though Cao Xing's spiritual perception range is very large, the Shanghai Stock Exchange is indeed not small, with an area of ​​6,000 square kilometers.

This does not include the islands and reefs. It took him a full hour to complete the search of this area.

What puzzled Cao Xing was that he searched the entire Shanghai city, even underground, but he didn't find anyone from the Gao family.

When he was searching, he observed carefully. He found the location of Liao Wu and others but he couldn't find the Gao family. This made him look ugly.

"what happened!"

Cao Xing stood by the Huangpu River, his anger rising, and the entire space seemed slightly distorted.

This was the result of his anger and over-concentration of mental energy.

If there were someone here, he would have been crushed to death by this powerful mental force.

"Damn it, the army is surrounding the city, can the Gao family still escape?"

It's impossible even if you think about it.

Since the Gao family wanted to fight to the death, they naturally realized that they could not leave the city.

This is a contradiction. Since they can’t leave the city, where did the Gao family go?

Looking at the slowly flowing water of the Yangtze River, Cao Xing, standing on the shore, was thinking hard.

Suddenly he seemed to have thought of something.

He actually forgot about Chongming County which was assigned to Shanghai a few years ago.

Chongming County is bordered by the Yangtze River to the west and the East China Sea to the east. It is the estuary of the Yangtze River, China's largest river, and the world's largest estuarine alluvial island. It is also China's third largest island after Taiwan Island and Hainan Island.

This island does not currently border Shanghai. It was only in the 1950s when Shanghai was facing a food shortage that the city of Beijing incorporated Chongming County into Shanghai, allowing Shanghai to alleviate the food crisis.

Now there are troops and aircraft control at sea and on land. If there is a gap anywhere, Chongming County at the mouth of the Yangtze River is probably the only place with a chance to hide or even escape.

Cao Xing opened the map, looked at the location of Chongming County, and immediately flew up into the sky with a murderous look on his face.

Shanghai City and Chongming County are not far away, but they do not border each other at present. The tunnel and bridge were built in later times, and currently the only way to travel between them is by boat.

But Cao Xing doesn't need these.

He can just fly over there.

As dawn approached, Cao Xing, who had searched the entire Chongming County, finally smiled.
