Chapter 1227: Chapter 1226: Danger Abounds!
Wu Ye showed a surprised expression, she wanted to ask Jiang Cheng if he had always known her identity. Wu Shan looked at Jiang Cheng, opened her mouth, but ultimately didn’t say anything.
"Yes, Mr. Jiang, I’ve always admired you, but last time I invited you to our country, your actions really disappointed me. But now, I wonder if Mr. Jiang regrets his decision at that time?" Mantasha said.
Jiang Cheng recalled last time when Mantasha sent Li Pu to first imprison him, and later attack him, calling it an interrogation. It was truly disgusting. "I don’t understand what you mean, why change your mind now?" Jiang Cheng understood Mantasha’s meaning but still pretended not to know.
Mantasha looked at Jiang Cheng, her lips curling into a bizarre smile, "Mr. Jiang is really interesting, didn’t you have any thoughts when you saw me walk through walls?"
Jiang Cheng was indeed curious about Mantasha’s skills, but he also knew that it was undoubtedly related to what he saw in the tunnels. "So what’s your purpose in calling me here now? Wu Shan is a criminal in Kai Ao Country. As long as you stay in Kai Ao Country, you must abide by its laws." Jiang Cheng said while looking at Wu Fen.
Wu Shan was startled by Jiang Cheng’s words. Wu Fen looked at Jiang Cheng’s serious face, recalling how he was first attracted to Jiang Cheng’s talent upon meeting him. But unfortunately, he was a Li Person, and his initial intentions with Jiang Cheng were not pure, which led to some regrettable actions later, but he never meant to trouble Jiang Cheng.
"What do I have to do? Doesn’t Mr. Jiang always know? Of course, go to Li Country," Mantasha said.
"So today, are you going to imprison me again, or knock me out and take me away?" Jiang Cheng said contemptuously as he looked at Mantasha.
"Of course not, Mr. Jiang is neither from Kai Ao Country nor one of us Li People, so Mr. Jiang, you are not from Kai Ao Star. I’m not curious about where you come from, but regardless of your purpose here, surely you should go to a more advanced and prosperous place. Staying here won’t bring you any benefit, right?" Mantasha said.
Jiang Cheng knew his identity would be discovered by Mantasha. After all, claiming to be in the desert could fool others, but not someone as shrewd as Mantasha.
"What I do has nothing to do with you. I suspect that you are related to the disappearance of recent scientists. Right now, I haven’t acted because it seems pointless, but don’t think I can’t take action against you," Jiang Cheng said viciously as he looked at Mantasha. Mantasha was becoming increasingly bold, and though Jiang Cheng would eventually go to Li Country, he knew he couldn’t let someone who casually disregarded lives and disrupted national peace like Mantasha go unpunished.
Wu Shan saw that Jiang Cheng was genuinely angry and was at a loss. She wanted to say something to Jiang Cheng, but just as she stood up, Mantasha glared at Wu Shan, and Wu Shan ended up saying nothing.
"Mr. Jiang, your righteous indignation is quite intimidating, but to be honest, we are planning to return to our country soon," Mantasha said.
Jiang Cheng realized that with Mantasha around, he couldn’t take Wu Mu away, and such matters were beyond his control. However, upon hearing they were leaving, he wondered why the sudden departure. Jiang Cheng was very puzzled, knowing he couldn’t follow Mantasha to Li Country. Still, he had seriously studied the country’s map and found that Kai Ao Star couldn’t pinpoint where exactly Li Country was.
"Today, Mr. Jiang, you’ve seen what you wanted, but you definitely can’t take Wu Shan away. Although Mr. Jiang has once again rejected the suggestion of going to Li Country, I certainly won’t force Mr. Jiang to accompany me there," Mantasha said with a smile.
"I know I can’t take Wu Mu away, but since you’re leaving, then go quickly and stop causing trouble here," Jiang Cheng said as he walked out.
Even after leaving the Dark Cosmos, Jiang Cheng still found it hard to believe. He came today with the intention of confronting Mantasha, but Mantasha indeed had no interest in dealing with him, and even mentioned returning. Could something have happened in Li Country? Jiang Cheng kept pondering Mantasha’s strange behavior.
"Jiang, how are you?" Zhao Shuai and Cloud saw Jiang Cheng coming out and quickly approached him to ask.
"I’m fine," Jiang Cheng replied with a smile.
"Really? Big Brother Jiang, she didn’t trouble you?" Cloud, who was not very familiar with Mantasha, was quite worried after Zhao had explained Jiang Cheng’s previous encounter at the Dark Cosmos.
"No problem, thank you for worrying. Wu Shan is indeed inside, and she’s Mantasha’s daughter." Jiang Cheng told the two.
Zhao Shuai was initially surprised at the news, and then a feeling of relief washed over his face. Jiang Cheng, looking at Zhao Shuai, was still unsure if Zhao Shuai could let go of Wu Shan.
"So, Jiang, should we go to the team and tell the leader about this?" Zhao Shuai asked.
"We definitely should, but we can’t mention Mantasha. Just say we saw Wu Shi at the Dark Cosmos; this way, we can use the team to clean up the Dark Cosmos," Jiang Cheng said.
Zhao Shuai nodded in agreement and was about to take out his phone to call the team leader. However, Jiang Cheng stopped him, "Let’s tell him in person, and right now I need to visit the Qi Family," Jiang Cheng said.
"Jiang, do you think it’s unsafe to call, or that our phone calls might be intercepted?" Zhao Shuai said as he glanced at the Dark Cosmos.
"Yes, since they can meddle with our online communications, our phone content won’t be safe either. If we want to deal with the Dark Cosmos, we should strike when they’re unprepared," Jiang Cheng thought.
"Alright, Jiang, what are you going to do at the Qi Family?" Zhao Shuai asked.
"Mantasha said they’re going to Li Country, and I also need to go there at some point. Visiting the Qi Family is to ask Zhang Tian, since he’s a Li Person, he’d surely know how to get back," Jiang Cheng said.
"Jiang, let me go with you. It wouldn’t be safe for you to go alone without someone having your back," Zhao Shuai said.
"Big Brother Jiang, I also want to go with you," Cloud said. "This trip to Li Country is certainly extremely hazardous, you all shouldn’t go."
Jiang Cheng was unsure about the current situation in Li Country. It might be extremely dangerous.
"Jiang, I can promise you other things, but my dad would want me to go. Given our country’s situation, you know I have a responsibility to see what’s happening in Li Country," Zhao Shuai said seriously.
Jiang Cheng knew he could not persuade further, so he nodded to Zhao Shuai.
"Cloud, you can’t go. You’re the only daughter of the Ji Family, and your family won’t agree," Jiang Cheng said. He didn’t want Cloud to be involved in unknown dangers.
