Searching for Treasures in the Clouds

When Jiang Zaizhou woke up again, he felt a splitting headache. He half-opened his eyes and looked at the scene in front of him. His vision was blurry, and he vaguely saw a dozen people standing in front of him. He was at a much lower angle than everyone else, and all heads were looking down at him.

"Jiang Zaizhou, now you're in my hands, I'll show you my strength today."

This sentence instantly sobered Jiang Zaizhou up. It was simply because the voice belonged to Fang Longfei, the person he hated the most. He couldn't forget it. How could he describe that sound? Perhaps it was like the sewer in a restaurant kitchen. Water could flow out, but the channel was half-blocked by grease, making it difficult to flow. It was greasy, slippery, and thick, and he didn't know where it came from. Therefore, the scene before him gradually became clearer, stimulated by this sound.

There were about seventeen people standing in front of him, half of them strangers, and the other half he knew, and all of them he disliked. There wasn't a single one he wanted to get to know. Hua Xiting wasn't there. He stared at the scene with wide eyes, glanced around quickly, and then got up from the ground.

As he regained his footing, Fang Longfei kicked him hard in the stomach, sending him falling to the ground again, a meter away. The intense pain made him instinctively cover his stomach and apply pressure to relieve the pain. He looked up again and saw his manager, Wu Yi, standing with that group of pesky people, at the very corner.

"Wu Yi, what do you mean? Did you bring me here on purpose?" he asked in disbelief.

Wu Yi lowered his head and did not answer him. Obviously, he had betrayed him.

"Jiang Zaizhou, you didn't expect it, did you? This is the consequence of your arrogance towards me." Fang Longfei smiled, the flesh on his face squeezed together, his thick lips opening and closing when he spoke like two mating slugs.

This face had once offended people, and now, for some reason, it was even more hideous. Perhaps when God created him, he had stuffed too much desire into his skin, causing his features to swell and crack, and even losing his human form.

"If you can crawl under my pants today and kowtow to me a hundred times, I will let you go. Otherwise, I can't guarantee what you will experience here." Fang Longfei said with a smile.

Jiang Zaizhou looked at his face, resisted the urge to retch, and sat there quietly listening to him speak.

Seeing how calm he was, Fang Longfei's expression turned cold. He pulled a cell phone from his pocket and waved it in front of Jiang Zaizhou. "Look, look, whose phone is this? Jiang Zaizhou, this is your phone, your agent gave it to me. Don't even think about contacting outsiders with it. Also, unfortunately, there's a powerful signal jammer installed here. Even if you have the phone, you won't be able to contact outsiders."

"Besides, there are people guarding the gate with guns. Even if you run away, can you be faster than a bullet? And there's no one living nearby. No one can come to save you."

"What exactly do you want to do?" Jiang Zaizhou asked in a deep voice, looking very impatient.

"I told you, if you crawl under my crotch, kowtow to me a hundred times, and call me daddy a hundred times, I'll let you go. Otherwise, you'll suffer."

Yun Quan, who was sitting next to him, couldn't help but frown when he saw how ugly he looked.

"Dream on! Pah!" Jiang Zaizhou spat at Fang Longfei. "Fang Longfei, your family is down and out now. You're being chased and beaten, and you're about to flee abroad. You still have the time to arrest me here? Aren't you afraid that the law enforcement officers will come and take you away? Take your father away with you. If you dare to touch me, no matter where you go, someone will hunt you down. You won't be able to live in peace for the rest of your life."

"You've seen how powerful my family is, right? If you don't want to die so quickly, be smart and let me go."

"You better understand the situation. You're in my hands now. You're still so stubborn even when facing death." Fang Longfei looked at the people around him and said, "Chen Kai, Zhang Huipeng, catch him and hold him down. Don't let him move."

As soon as he finished speaking, Jiang Zaizhou stood up and ran. Remembering Fang Longfei's words about guards at the gate, he ran upstairs, ready to find a place to hide temporarily. As he ran, he pinched the pendant around his neck. This pendant was given to him by Yunjixing, invented by Yu Ru. Yu Ru made several and gave one to everyone she was close to.

This little thing appears to be a pendant, but it's actually a locator. Pressing a key switch automatically transmits the wearer's location to other connected locators. It's a disguised alarm. Normally, they wouldn't press the button unless there was an emergency. They'd agreed to only press it in emergencies. It's said to be immune to interference from jammers and accurately transmits the location. In any case, standard jammers can't interfere with it.

The people connected to his locator are Yun Jixing and Xi Yizai. He only hopes that the shielding device here is a general shielding device that cannot interfere with his pendant.

Jiang Zaizhou ran desperately forward, reaching the second floor in just over ten seconds. He randomly picked a room and opened the door, but was suddenly confronted by a dozen faces. He was so frightened that he immediately closed the door again. After seeing him, everyone in the room rushed out and chased him.

Soon, he was brought back to Fang Longfei.

Fang Longfei smiled obscenely at him, his eyes curved like cracks in a mud wall. "Jiang Zaizhou, I've already told you you can't run away. Everywhere here belongs to me. Let me tell you one more piece of news."

Fang Longfei laughed loudly a few times and continued, "Jiang Zaizhou, I know you have a friend who is very powerful in Water City. He was the one who helped you, right? If it weren't for him, our family wouldn't have to go abroad. He had an engagement party a few days ago, and you sent him a gift. Let me tell you, among the gifts you sent was a Guanyin statue, and that Guanyin statue was no ordinary Guanyin statue."

As he spoke, he took out his phone, clicked on a picture, and enlarged it to show Jiang Zaizhou, "Look, this is what the Guanyin statue looks like."

Jiang Zaizhou looked at the photo on his phone, his heart sinking. The image of Guanyin in the photo was so eerie, it made the hairs on the neck stand on end. This was no ordinary Guanyin at all; perhaps it was an evil deity disguised as Guanyin.

"Did you see that? You gave this to your best friend. I had this thing specially crafted by a sorcerer. It symbolizes: no offspring, bad luck, and a bad death. After all these days, your friend should have seen this gift, right? Giving something like this to someone on their wedding day is really disgusting. Jiang Zaizhou, you gave someone something like this, even if it wasn't what you wanted, but you didn't check the gift carefully. It gives people the impression that you are not sincere at all. Is this the case with you? Do your friends still want to help you, save you?"
