Chapter 190: Sharing

Chen Ling raised an eyebrow and stopped his figure.

"Brother, since you aren't from the Star Chamber of Commerce, why must you go against me?" Jian Changsheng said with a pale face.

After these few exchanges, Jian Changsheng could see that the mysterious person in front of him was very strong. Even if he were in a near-death state, he could only fight to a draw with the other party. If the other party also entered a near-death state, with the blessing of [Blood Garment], he might not necessarily be the opponent.

What's more, Jian Changsheng was really too severely injured. If they continued to fight like this, it was very likely that he would lose his ability to act and be at the mercy of others.

Jian Changsheng's seemingly casual words contained quite a bit of information in Chen Ling's ears.

Star Chamber of Commerce... So those in the room were from the Star Chamber of Commerce?

Although Chen Ling had followed them all the way, he didn't actually know which faction the people in the car belonged to. But now Jian Changsheng had given him an answer... However, what surprised him was that Jian Changsheng should also be from the Star Chamber of Commerce, so why did he seem to have a blood feud with them now?

Thinking carefully, Chen Ling had the answer in his heart. Jian Changsheng had killed Yan Xicai once; that should be considered a complete falling out with the Star Chamber of Commerce.

"I said, I don't care about other things," Chen Ling replied calmly, "I just want that corpse."

Jian Changsheng saw this, and after struggling for a long time, he gritted his teeth:

"Fine, the corpse is yours... but the living one must be left to me."

Besides that corpse, Jian Changsheng had specifically held back just now and didn't kill the man known as Brother Chen. He was from the Star Chamber of Commerce and also seemed to be the commander of this evidence-destruction operation. From him, he should be able to extract a lot of useful information.

This was the biggest concession Jian Changsheng could make. He couldn't have tracked them from so far away, only to get a beating and return empty-handed.

Chen Ling was about to refuse because, for him, that living person had the same value. But he changed his mind and then said:

"The corpse is mine. As for that living person, we can split him."

"Split him?"

Confusion appeared in Jian Changsheng's eyes.

"You want that living person, nothing more than to extract some things from his mouth. Since that's the case, our goals don't conflict," Chen Ling said unhurriedly, "We can find a place and take turns interrogating him, how about that?"

Jian Changsheng frowned and pondered... According to their current situation, continuing to fight would definitely be the worst result, and sharing the "living person" could indeed satisfy their purposes at the same time. Jian Changsheng had also thought about whether to take the living person back separately to interrogate for a few days and then return him to the other party for interrogation.

But this way, not only could they not trust each other, but most importantly, Jian Changsheng didn't want his living in a dog kennel to be exposed... Thinking it over, this proposal was indeed the best solution at the moment.

"Fine, but I'll choose the place."

……

Ten minutes later, Jian Changsheng, carrying Brother Chen who was like a dead pig, walked into the depths of the dense forest.

Chen Ling, with his hands in his pockets, followed closely behind. His gaze swept across the dim and eerie forest, his eyes narrowing slightly.

"This is the place you mentioned? An open-air forest?"

"Yes."

For Jian Changsheng, finding a place in the city to interrogate Brother Chen was too dangerous. He had to find a place that was absolutely desolate and had open terrain, which would be convenient for him to use [Blood-Dropping Top] to escape at any time. After all, he still couldn't fully trust Chen Ling.

Once the effect of his [Blood Garment] skill wore off, he would be very weak. If Chen Ling suddenly attacked while he was concentrating on the interrogation, his life would be in danger.

Chen Ling didn't have any objections to this. Compared to these, he was more curious about what had happened to Jian Changsheng. He followed Jian Changsheng from a distance, his gaze constantly wandering over him, and a faint light flickered in his narrowed eyes.

This Jian Changsheng was killed by him once in the Ancient Military Path Treasury and must hold a grudge against him. If he found out his true identity one day, it would probably be very troublesome... How about taking advantage of his current weakness and killing him again?

Killing him would not only avenge the exposure of his identity in Aurora City but also allow him to monopolize the living person. It was all benefits and no harm.

Chen Ling rubbed his chin with one hand, carefully calculating the possibility of killing the other party in his heart.

Just then, Jian Changsheng stopped.

"Let's do it here." Jian Changsheng tossed Brother Chen to the ground like trash, not even tying him up, seemingly not afraid that the other party would escape after waking up. He looked back at Chen Ling, "You first or me first?"

"You first." Chen Ling politely deferred.

As he spoke, Chen Ling walked to a tree not far away, sat down on the ground, and narrowed his eyes as if he were about to fall asleep.

Seeing this, Jian Changsheng didn't talk nonsense and slapped the unconscious Brother Chen on the face, making a crisp sound!

Slap—!

Brother Chen, who had been like a corpse, was slapped and flipped several times, hitting the tree trunk behind him. He opened his eyes in terror and spat out several blood-stained broken teeth in one breath.

"Cough cough cough cough cough..." Brother Chen only felt his vision go black. The next moment, a powerful hand grabbed his collar and lifted his whole body into the air.

"I was wondering who it was, isn't this our old brother Liu Chen." Under the dim moonlight, Jian Changsheng's blood-stained face was extremely ferocious.

Seeing this scene, Liu Chen was clearly stunned for a moment. He widened his eyes, his eyes full of disbelief.

"What? Don't recognize me?" Jian Changsheng said calmly, "I'm little Jian... Back when we were at the Yan family, I didn't receive little of your 'blessings'..."

Jian Changsheng emphasized the word "blessings," and a murderous intent rushed toward him in his words.

Liu Chen naturally recognized Jian Changsheng. He remembered very clearly the things he had done to make things difficult for Jian Changsheng back then, and now Jian Changsheng had become a fugitive wanted by the Star Chamber of Commerce... This made him panic because he couldn't imagine what this madman, who now hated the Star Chamber of Commerce to the bone, would do to him.

But Liu Chen was, after all, a guy who could handle such dirty work for the Star Chamber of Commerce single-handedly, and his character wasn't weak. He quickly suppressed the fear in his heart and said expressionlessly:

"So it's you... It seems that your days as a stray dog haven't been good? The tracking of the Star Chamber of Commerce must have made you very disheveled, right?"

Jian Changsheng's expression turned extremely gloomy. He backhanded a punch into Liu Chen's lower abdomen, the terrifying force shaking the tree trunk behind him slightly.

Liu Chen's face turned pale, and he began to retch on the spot, scarlet blood sliding down the corners of his mouth, soaking into the ground drop by drop.

"You didn't let me have an easy time, and I won't let you have an easy time either," Jian Changsheng said grimly, "The pain of the four soul-shattering interrogations, I will make everyone in the Yan family taste it sooner or later... And you, you are the first."
