The Nine Cauldrons Chapter 11: ‘Chun Tian’ – The Fugitive

“He smiled at you?” Li Ran surprised.

“Yes, I do not know why I felt that “Wolf” was not cruel as the rumors state.” Qin Hong puzzled, “Actually, I always felt that he gave me a sense of familiarity as if I have seen him somewhere, but I just can’t remember.”

“Stop thinking if you can’t,” Li Ran said.

After only a moment, someone knocked the door.

“Perhaps Yang brother came, let me open the door.” Qin Hong suddenly walked into the living room, looked out through door’s hole then opened. There was a gentleman wearing a glass, about 1’75-metre tall. After this man had come in, Qin Hong closed the door in a glance.

At a same time, Li Ran came out.

“Yang brother.” Li Ran greeted with a smile.

‘Little Ran, you are pregnant, take a rest instead of going around.” Yang brother laughed. ‘Yang brother’ ‘s full name was ‘Yun,’ the general manager of Special Operations of Jiangsu Province and his strength was also high.

Because the situation related to ‘Wolf’ and two leaders of “God Kingdom” all the members of Special Operations of Jiangsu Province all came to Yang Zhou.

‘Yun’ looked at Qin Hong: “Qin Hong, you said you had seen ‘Wolf’, didn’t you? Go and see whether he was still there or not.”

Qin Hong nodded, walked into the living room and looked through the door.

“Yang brother, he ‘s still there.” Qin Hong said. Then Yun immediately ran to the door to have a look.

“Yang brother, you see, he is sitting on the second floor of the opposite Tea House, that biggest window. That man is Wolf, and there is also a woman sitting opposite to him.Qin Hong knitted his eyebrows, “Hey, isn’t she…?”

“She?” Yun was surprised.

“Yes, a moment ago, I hastily observed, I did not think that woman was her. She is Lin Qing, a quite well-known woman in Yang Zhou.” Yangzhou Citadel was not small, but it was also not large. Qin Hong clearly knew about this famous person.

Yun nodded slightly, suddenly took out his mobile phone and dialed the number.

“Chen Third, send your two groups’ officers here, come to…. Let me see, come to White Cloud coffee shop opposite Qin Hong’s house. I have an important mission for you!” Yun immediately hung up his phone.

“Qin Hong, stay here and don’t go anywhere.” After saying that to Qin Hong, Yun immediately left Qin Hong’s house.

…

At the VIP room of White Cloud Coffee shop, there was only Yun and a middle-aged man having a plain appearance. Hearing a report, this middle-aged man nodded:” Yang, ‘Wolf’ and Lin Qing have just left Willow Tea House.In my small group, one officer is responsible for tracking Lin Qing. And the other four people will keep track of Wolf.”

Yun did not speak; he was just quietly waiting.

For a moment, the middle-aged man reluctantly smiled:” Yang, Wolf has just disappeared .”

“I’m not surprised at all.” Yang Yun shook his head. “ ‘Wolf’ could said to be the strongest master in the world, he is also an SS-Killer so hiding as well as tracking was not difficult to him. Following him was extremely difficult. Chen Third, your group continued to keep track of Lin Qing for me. Perhaps, thanks to Lin Qing, we could find a clue.”

“Yes, sir !” Chen Third nodded.

***

In an old alley, Teng Qing Shan was like a normal person having a walk.

“The people keeping track of me were possibly the members of my brother’s organization.” Teng Qing Shan guessed, “Based on my brother ‘s identity, they could have successfully investigated my identity.” Teng Qing Shan did not care much about this. In his view, these people were just ordinary folks.

Teng Qing Shan’s helixes were moving, and suddenly his speed increased.

He came to a turning. At the alley in front of him, there was a weak slim man wearing a hat and walking.

Teng Qing Shan did not stay longer in Willow Tea House because he wanted to follow this weak slim man. By Teng Qing Shan’s ability, he could only use his ears to follow someone, without depending on his eyes.

“Today morning, this man passed through my brother’s house three times, each time, he wore different clothes. Moreover, each time he went through, and carefully observed my brother’s house, perhaps he has malicious intent.” Teng Qing Shan paid his attention to his brother’s house. Thus, all people going through there were seen by him at least one time.

With Memorializing Arts that he practiced, he could never forget anything even he had seen it only one time.

Especially, this man did not disguise well.

“This man’s eyes acted awkwardly, he looked around as if he had been guarding himself.” Teng Qing Shan was a strong killer so he could easily realize the weakness of opponents.

Obviously, that man’s camouflage ability was too bad. Guessing the malice of the opponent, Teng Qing Shan absolutely did not let that man go easily. Afterall ‘Qing Jiang’ was his only relative.

Although Teng Qing Shan was constantly following, but the weak slim man did not realize.

After a short time, this weak slim man went inside a small six-floored residential building, and then went up the stairs. Teng Qing Shan stopped at the foot of the stair and listened carefully.

“Third floor, the room on left.” Teng Qing Shan heard and easily identified the opponent’s location.

All of a sudden he went up the stairs to the third floor, came to that room and pressed his ear against the door and listened.

The sound in the room was faint but Teng Qing Shan could clearly hear everything.

“Hello, boss Lee, I came there. You did not tell me that Qin Hong had a pregnant wife. If I have to kill Qin Hong, I must kill his wife as well. If not, his wife would scream loudly, and I would be found out by the surrounding people. You have to raise the price, about ten thousand. This price is nothing for a person like you.”

Hearing everything, Teng Qing Shan suddenly became angry and wanted to kill.

You want to kill both my brother and my sister-in-law?

In this world, his brother was his only relative and he must not allow anyone to kill his brother.

“Ha ha, Mr.Lee feel at ease. No problem! When all things finish, I will leave immediately. Don’t worry, Qin Hong is dangerous but I already have a plan, he will surely be killed! Okay, you only need to wait for my good news.” The man in the room immediately hung up his phone after talking to Mr.Lee.

Teng Qing Shan hold the door’s hinge, his interior strength moved and then he easily pushed the door and came in. The door opened as if it had not been locked.

The weak slim man was lying comfortably on the sofa in the living room and humming songs. He was holding the remote control, and as he turned on the TV; he glanced at the door and a young man wearing glasses, who came in. Teng Qing Shan naturally closed the door.

“You, who are you? ” The weak slim man scared and doubted . Perhaps he forgot to lock the door?

No, absolutely not, he could not have been so careless like that.

“You asked who I am?” Teng Qing Shan was coming closer to him.

The weak slim man’s eyes were full of ruthless light. Like the speed of light, he took out his pistol from his belt.

The young man who had just stood in front of the door strangely went to him and grabbed his pistol.

“Chi, Chi…” Pistol’s barrel was bent.

The weak slim man suddenly became pale with fear.

The barrel was too tough, as everyone had known. Could he resist such a person who could bend the barrel only with his hand’s strength?

“Brother, where do you belong to?” The weak slim man was so scared that he trembled , “I’m Chun Tian, in the underworld, I also have a little of fame… A long time ago, when I was living in my homeland, I committed a crime and was hunted by the police .Therefore, I came here. If I did something wrong to you….”

“Shut up.” Teng Qing Shan shouted.

‘Chun Tian’ scared suddenly kept quiet.

“Now, every question I ask, you have to answer.” Teng Qing Shan’s voice did not change; his cold look made Chun Tian’s heart thump.

“ Ask me please.” Chun Tian said.

“Are you going to kill all of Qin Hong’s family?” Teng Qing Shan asked seriously.

Chun Tian hesitated.

“Kill!” Chun Tian did not see the opponent attack him, but he felt pain on his right hand. All his hand’s bones were broken, which made him groan in agony, he wanted to scream loudly. However, as he looked at his enemy, Chun Tian could not shout. Because he knew…

In this situation, the more loudly he screamed, the sooner he would be killed.

Although he felt serious pain, even sweating, Chun Tian had to answer: “Yes, I am being hunted, so I act as if I did not fear anything. I am passing through Yang Zhou, On my way, I do something illegally to earn a little money and then immediately leave. Is Qin Hong your brother? If so, I will not say anything more and leave now. If you are not satisfied with anything, Please tell me.”

“Who told you to do that?” Teng Qing Shan’s voice still did not change.

“… I can not tell you.” Chun Tian tried to smile, “It’s against the rules….”

“Do you want to Die Now!” In a glance, his left hand’s bones were broken. Whether his hand’s strength or the cold of opponent could make, Chun Tian collapsed.

“I said, I will ask the questions and you will have to answer. I don’t want say this another time. Otherwise, you will bear the consequences.” Teng Qing Shan seriously asked, “Who is Mr.Lee?”

“You knew?” Hearing Teng Qing Shan mention “Mr.Lee”, the fugitive named Chun Tian couldn’t help becoming angry, why did you ask me although you had known? His two hands were broken so he did not dare to say anything.

“Answer me.” Teng Qing Shan said.

Chun Tian took a deep breath and coped with his pain, said:” Brother if I answer, you won’t kill me.OK? If you don’t accept my request, I won’t say anything even though you kill me.” After saying, Chun Tian clenched his teeth and stared at Teng Qing Shan.

Teng Qing Shan only looked at him and said:” Okay!”

Metropolis breathed a sigh of relief. He supposed that a strong man like Teng Qing Shan would definitely respect his word.

“The person who made me to kill your brother is the Chairman of Ming Shan group named Li Shan. Li Shan is also a famous man in the underworld; he is really dangerous.” Chun Tian said.

“Li Shan, Ming Shan group.” Teng Qing Shan reminded himself of this name.

All of a sudden, Teng Qing Shan waved his hand, he made his index finger and middle finger be a sword and pointed directly to the middle this fugitive’s brow.

At the time Chun Tian felt dizzy, his consciousness became blurred. He resentfully stared at Teng Qing Shan, and then all he could see was just the darkness.

He was so angry because Teng Qing Shan did not keep his word.

Teng Qing Shan glanced at the man coldly.

When he was seven years old, he had to come outside from a dead pile. Being the cruelest killer in the world, he was taught how to kill since he was a child. Why did he have to forgive an enemy because of a promise? Moreover, the enemy was one who wanted to kill his brother’s family. If anyone is threatening his relatives’ life, Teng Qing Shan will not let them survive.

Leaving a corpse and a distorted pistol, Teng Qing Shan came out the room.

“Li Shan!”

Teng Qing Shan slightly talked to himself.
