What Are You Waiting For?

Hmm... there doesn't seem to be anything wrong with that. 

"My people really didn't catch that Fatty," the middle-aged man stared at Jiang Cheng and spoke again. "He's really quite agile." 

"Exceptionally agile." 

"But there's one thing you might not have considered. Even though you're using him, he still cares about you," the middle-aged man tilted his head and gestured toward the young man standing beside him. 

As if receiving an order, the young man immediately spoke to Jiang Cheng. "That Fatty, after running away from the market, quietly snuck back to the area. Now he's hiding on the roof of the building across the street, observing what's going on here." 

The young man casually pointed in the direction. 

It was an old, semi-abandoned residential building, with only a few remaining residents, and even basic utilities were unreliable. 

It was indeed a perfect observation point. 

But for someone without counter-surveillance awareness, the Fatty probably didn't realize that such a great vantage point often raised the vigilance of those being watched. 

Moreover, given the current situation, he likely wouldn't be able to get away now. 

After all, he was agile, but his martial skills were lacking. 

Once exposed, being caught was just a matter of time. 

"Take him upstairs," the middle-aged man instructed the young man. "Search this place thoroughly, but don't leave any traces." 

After Jiang Cheng left, Chen Xiaomeng's expression changed, and she immediately asked, "How is it? Is he connected to those people?" 

"I can't say for sure yet, but based on what you've said, this person has high potential. I'll test him later," the middle-aged man replied. 

When Jiang Cheng came back downstairs, everything seemed normal. 

During their search, they had found some information about Jiang Cheng, including his name on a medical form where he had signed. 

This part couldn't be hidden. 

Chen Xiaomeng turned her head away, not even glancing in Jiang Cheng's direction. She casually sat down on a nearby sofa, one leg propped up, and began playing her favorite game on her phone. 

"Young man, I admire you, but you started this with us. Therefore, you'll have to pay the price. I'll break one of your arms," the middle-aged man, called Uncle Gong, looked down at Jiang Cheng. To his surprise, the young man didn't show any sign of fear in his eyes. 

However, he didn't resist either. 

According to the girl, Jiang Cheng was quite capable—he had taken down two burly men in an instant. 

The middle-aged man had been on guard, suspecting that Jiang Cheng's apparent acceptance of his fate was just an act to lower his guard and strike when the time was right. 

With a stern face, the middle-aged man walked toward Jiang Cheng, who remained silent. 

"You can blame yourself for targeting the wrong people," he said finally. 

"Wait!" 

Just as the middle-aged man raised his arm, Jiang Cheng suddenly shouted. 

The man's wrist faltered for a moment. 

Though not a soft-hearted person, the middle-aged man had enough patience for this young man. From his observations and the girl's description, the young man had exceptional talent. 

He was sharp, decisive, and wouldn't be burdened by guilt after taking action. 

A born killer. 

"What are you playing at?" the middle-aged man sighed, asking. 

Jiang Cheng slowly extended his hand and, with a single finger, pressed the power button on the phone that the middle-aged man had set down on the desk across from him. An incoming message immediately flashed on the screen. 

"Hang in there, we've located your position. We'll be there in 10 minutes." 

The message had been received 10 minutes ago. 

The middle-aged man's pupils widened slightly. 

In the next moment, the door that had been left ajar was kicked open, and three or four uniformed police officers rushed in. 

One of the female officers, with her hair tied in a ponytail and a sharp look on her face, held a gun and shouted while aiming at everyone, "Put your weapons down!" 

Two young men who hadn't reacted in time were immediately pinned to the ground. Chen Xiaomeng, being a woman, was treated a little more gently but was still controlled. In the chaos, her phone was thrown to the ground.
