"It seems that this isn't the place either."

Ye Qiu crossed out another address on the paper, looking at the list in his hand which was completely blackened by his own markings. His gaze grew heavy.

This was the last place. He had hacked into the police network and screened out a list of residents associated with the name 'Ge Zhou'. He had visited every one of them.

Unfortunately, his hopes were dashed as none of the households had the person he was looking for, and he couldn't even find a shred of information related to Ge Zhou.

It could be said that Ye Qiu, full of anticipation, had searched most of West Mansion City, only to end up with nothing!

Such a result was truly distressing.

"Could it be that Ge Zhou is really not in West Mansion anymore?"

Gripping the paper tightly, Ye Qiu crumpled the list into a ball, clenching his teeth, and couldn't help but entertain this idea, feeling somewhat unwilling.

According to the old sage, Ge Zhou had settled in West Mansion decades ago, but no one could guarantee that he still lived there, and the possibility of him having left West Mansion City was significant.

From the beginning, when Ye Qiu started investigating Ge Zhou's whereabouts, he had considered such a possibility.

However, he still placed great hopes on the list extracted from the police network, hoping to find Ge Zhou's whereabouts in West Mansion City!

By doing so, Ye Qiu could save a lot of time and energy, recover his strength quickly, and return to settle scores with the Ouyang Family.

Moreover, if Ge Zhou wasn't in West Mansion City, finding him would be extremely difficult. And if he couldn't find Ge Zhou, Ye Qiu might never heal his damaged Dantian and meridians, potentially being stuck at his current strength forever.

That's why Ye Qiu pinned his hopes on that list and was eager, barely resting, always searching for Ge Zhou's trails.

Precisely because of this, having exhausted the list with no results was a heavy blow to Ye Qiu, as one might imagine.

If Ge Zhou was really no longer in West Mansion City, and he couldn't find his traces, perhaps his Dantian and meridian injuries would be difficult to resolve.

Moreover, injuries like those in the Dantian and meridians are more likely to heal if treated early and are easier to mend.

Conversely, as time goes by, the injury stabilizes and becomes a chronic condition, making recovery to the original state significantly harder.

At that point, even Ge Zhou would likely be powerless!

Therefore, it's crucial to find Ge Zhou's whereabouts!!!

Otherwise, he must find alternative ways and other people to heal his injuries!!!

Ye Qiu gritted his teeth, hesitated for a moment, but still decided to choose the former, to stay in West Mansion City and continue looking for Ge Zhou's whereabouts!!!

Even though hacking the police network to obtain the list hadn't yielded results, and Ge Zhou's whereabouts couldn't be found.

But this didn't necessarily mean Ge Zhou was definitely no longer in West Mansion City.

The police list has limitations, many things cannot be solely traced from the police network!!!

Perhaps Ge Zhou is indeed in West Mansion City, but he is deeply hidden, which is why he hasn't been found yet!

Of course, there was another reason.

West Mansion City being the only known trace related to Ge Zhou, if he left West Mansion City, Ye Qiu would have no other leads at all, making finding Ge Zhou even tougher than reaching heaven!!!

Like a headless fly crashing everywhere, how could he possibly find the thing he wanted?

Ye Qiu understood this very well, so even though his hopes had become much dimmer now, he still harbored a glimmer of hope.

...

Returning to the hotel, Ye Qiu rested for a while, then sat back up, took out his phone, opened the map of West Mansion City, and began planning.

Because he couldn't determine Ge Zhou's whereabouts nor had a specific list, Ye Qiu couldn't target a specific place.

In order to find Ge Zhou, the only option Ye Qiu had was the most rudimentary and direct method—carpet search!

Dividing the region of West Mansion City into several sections, Ye Qiu prepared to search each area, trying to find information about Ge Zhou.

Though it's like finding a needle in a haystack, trying to find a person's information among millions in such a vast place like West Mansion City seems exceedingly unlikely.

But at this point, Ye Qiu could only gamble on his luck to see if his luck was good enough.

If he could leverage Cat and the others' help, maybe the chances of finding Ge Zhou's whereabouts would be higher?

Regarding Cat and the others, Ye Qiu felt somewhat helpless.

During his days in West Mansion City, Ye Qiu hadn't lost touch with Cat and the others, so he knew they were still trapped in Ying City, unable to escape the Ouyang Family's blockade.

Thus, he couldn't get Cat and his team to help gather information, and at any moment, if Cat and the others accidentally fell into the Ouyang Family's hands, they could all lose their lives!

Because of this, the pressure on Ye Qiu's mind increased a few more notches!

However, Ye Qiu was unaware that Cat's situation was actually even more dire than he had anticipated!!!

Under the continued pressure of the Ouyang Family, their subordinates were desperately searching, cornering Cat and the others!!!

Now, they have driven Cat and his people into what could be described as a dead-end location, where Cat and his team, even if they wanted to continue running away, and avoid pursuit, they couldn't escape this area.

Next, Ouyang Family's people need only slowly tighten the encirclement, seal them in, and capturing Cat and the others becomes merely a matter of time.

...

Meanwhile.

Elsewhere, in West Mansion City.

A man with a bandaged broken arm led several bruised and battered underlings, staring at the burly man in front of them. Beads of sweat seeped from their foreheads, feeling immense pressure.

Because this burly man merely standing before them with sharp eyes made their backs shiver, this feeling was hard to put into words.

"Poisonous Snake, I've got a deal for you—20,000 dollars to kill a certain kid. What do you say?"

With a deep breath, suppressing the shivering feeling, the one-armed leading man asked the burly man in front of him.
