In order to infiltrate the higher ranks and become a trusted confidant, Qin Shang had cooperated with them extensively.

Even though his starting point and ultimate goal were both revenge and dismantling the scam organization.

But the law showed no mercy, and he had still broken the law…

As a result, Qin Shang was imprisoned, sentenced to two years for fraud.

Today, upon abruptly hearing about his mother's case from Xu Mingyang, a barely perceptible hint of ferocity flashed across Qin Shang's expression.

The next moment, Xu Mingyang took a deep breath.

"Your mother's case back then should have been more complicated."

"'Skull' is indeed a pyramid scheme organization, but they didn't operate casinos within the country."

"The 'pig butchering' online casino that scammed your mother and left her in debt belonged to an organization called 'Voyage'."

"Information we recently uncovered during our crackdown on vice and illegal publications also shows that your mother had an overseas remittance that was sent to an account named 'Voyage'."

"So I suspect that after entering 'Skull', your mother was ordered to make a series of contacts with 'Voyage', and then accidentally fell into the trap, becoming a victim..."

"The organization that truly drove your mother to her death might not be 'Skull', but that casino called 'Voyage'..."

Bang!

Before Xu Mingyang could finish speaking, the car window was suddenly hit with a heavy punch, emitting a dull thud.

He quickly turned his head to look, only to see Qin Shang's features contorted into a grimace, his expression ferocious.

His face was so dark it looked like it could drip water, his right arm slammed directly onto the police car's bulletproof glass, veins throbbing.

"So, what you're saying is, the organization that killed my mother is that one called 'Voyage'..."

"Qin Shang, it's been two years, haven't you suffered enough?"

"You went to prison for two years due to impulsiveness, don't be impulsive. We can plan many things carefully!"

Hearing this, Qin Shang's face twitched.

"My mother died without justice, I can't just give up. Since there's new evidence..."

As his voice fell, Qin Shang bared his teeth in a chilling grin.

"Then I won't give up on the truth until the very last moment of my life."

"Otherwise, why do you think I only fled with the money back then? I had actually risen to a high level within the pyramid scheme organization. I could have handed over their list to the Sheriff's Department."

"I just wanted them dead!"

"With such dangerous drug trafficking, the person who took the money from 'Skull' ran off. What do you think that organization is to the trading party?"

"Sheriff? Undercover? Fraud? Free ride?"

Qin Shang let out two hearty laughs.

"These people deserved to die, that's why I fled with the money. I just didn't expect that the high-ranking officials I contacted were just a drop in the ocean. The case blew up, and as a result, the trading counterpart exposed the other high-ranking members of 'Skull'..."

He's so unhinged...

Seeing Qin Shang at this moment, Xu Mingyang felt a prickling fear, which involuntarily appeared on his face.

Ever since this guy got sick, his respect for the law seemed to have diminished significantly.

If you think about it from his perspective...

I'm a brain cancer patient who's about to die, with only three months left to live at most. What's there in this world that I wouldn't dare to do?

If it weren't for the fact that there were no witnesses when Jiang Qiqi went missing, and no other colleagues accompanying him on the business trip to Yan Jing.

Xu Mingyang wouldn't be surprised if Qin Shang had resorted to imprisoning and torturing informants to extract confessions.

"Calm down! We are just investigating!"

"That 'Voyage' casino has some influence, and it's not a domestic casino. We are just suspecting, do you understand?"

"Suspecting. Without evidence, you'd better not act rashly."

"I will continue to follow up on this. If there's any new clue, I'll tell you..."

Hearing this, Qin Shang grunted with a somber expression, unsure if he had taken it in. He leaned back against the seat, closed his eyes, and pretended to rest.

Xu Mingyang felt a bit of regret in his heart.

Brother, I only told you this because I didn't want you to die with regrets!

How come I feel like I've pressed some unknown button on you, and your worries are only growing heavier?

Half an hour later, Xu Mingyang's police car slowly drove onto a small road.

The surroundings were filled with greenery, and the environment outside the window appeared exceptionally elegant. After driving for about several hundred meters, Xu Mingyang stopped the car.

Ahead was a grand gatehouse, a fountain, and detached villas. Just looking from afar, one could tell this place was definitely a wealthy neighborhood.

Xiangya Linshu, we've arrived!

Xu Mingyang glanced at Qin Shang. After their conversation, Qin Shang's emotions seemed a little off.

Xu Mingyang didn't continue speaking, not wanting to embarrass himself further.

"We're here, man!"

"Yeah! Thanks, sorry about losing my temper earlier..."

"It's fine, we're bros!"

Qin Shang patted Xu Mingyang's arm, not wanting to be overly sentimental. He grabbed his backpack and opened the car door.

As soon as he stepped out, a fragrance of flowers and vegetation filled his nostrils, as if he were in nature.

The environment here was truly excellent.

The security booth was just ahead, and Qin Shang took two steps forward.

Immediately, a security guard emerged from the booth to inquire, "Hello, which unit?"

"Visitors, please register. To find someone, you need to provide the building number. We'll contact the owner to confirm before allowing entry."

Xiangya Linshu had a total of eight villas. On the way, Qin Shang had briefly searched for the layout of Xiangya Linshu.

Xu Mingyang wasn't joking; it was indeed a wealthy neighborhood.

To be able to afford a villa in a place as expensive as Yan Jing, especially in an area with elegant surroundings, convenient transportation, and not too far from the city center.

The price would likely start in the six figures...

Yes, six figures per square meter.

There were only eight villas in this area, and they were snapped up by Yan Jing's wealthy residents as soon as they went on sale.

The information available online was from 2016, when the average opening price in this area was over 300,000.

Definitely a wealthy district, a residential area for the rich.

Without a net worth of at least a hundred million, one probably wouldn't dare to buy property here.

After all, there were only villas here, and any single one would likely cost forty to fifty million to finalize...

It was normal for such a high-end community to have strict security!

However, with the security guard's words, Qin Shang found himself in a predicament.

In the dying words of the little loli 'Grandpa Niu,' she had only mentioned that he needed to come here to find someone to deliver a message.

But due to the tight schedule, she hadn't had time to tell him any other information about the person.

The only thing Qin Shang knew was that the person was likely also a Path of the Gods player, and their ID was 'Red-robed Cult Master.'

Qin Shang coughed dryly, awkwardly rubbing the tip of his nose, and tentatively asked the security guard, "Excuse me... in the community, is there anyone named 'Red-robed Cult Master'?"
