The black figure said, "The real Jeremy Lin was only brought here for one time, and that was a week ago. At that time, we took a photo and took him away immediately. The rest of the time, we were just waiting here for someone to find us."

"What? Jeremy has long been gone?" Fade said. He looked surprised and then said in a deep voice, "Then, what's the purpose of all of you here?"

"I, I don't know. We are just his minions. We listen to the orders of our superiors and wait here. The longer we delay this, the better," the black figure said.

"Delaying the people who are here, and delaying me. Why is this..." Fade frowned and thought about the purpose of these guys.

Suddenly, he realized something. They had sent a picture of Jeremy to Quin Lin, informing her that Quin must get here within three days. Obviously, their target was Quin, not him.

Fade started to tremble when he thought about this. "Oh my wife, my wife, will you be in danger?"he thought to himself.

"My wife is now in town and is protected by Big Brother Gu's people. Plus, she has the Sacred Figs amulet with Ice Silk that I gave her,so she should be quite safe," Fade thought in his heart.

Right then, Wade and the rest of the guys had arrived, panting. When they saw the two black figures, they asked out of curiosity, "Mr. Chen, are they the people you're looking for?"

Fade shook his head, and he was about to speak.

However, right at this moment, he realized something, and a bulb lit up in his mind.

The superior of these guys had ordered them to delay the people who were here at the village, and their target was Quin. There seemed to be a contradiction in this matter.

Under normal circumstances, Quin would definitely come to this place to look for her elder brother after finding these clues. However, these two men wanted to hold off the people who had come over, so they were supposed to delay Quin, yet their target was also Quin. Therefore, this was obviously not logical.

There was only one explanation for this whole situation.

The other party was able to confirm that the person coming to this small village was someone else, and not Quin. Therefore, they had to delay the person who was here and then get hold of their real target, Quin.

Thinking of this, Fade, who felt relieved from the tense situation, became nervous again.

At the same time, his thoughts were spinning rapidly. If his opponent was able to confirm that Quin was not coming to this small village, then they must have some other tricks up their sleeves, which they were waiting to reveal.

Recalling the encounters of his wife and himself, Fade became worried. He could only think of one person... Big Brother Gu.

All their clues were given by Big Brother Gu. Old Ma and Wade were also the people sent by Big Brother Gu. In addition to that, when Quin said that she wanted to join the search, it was Big Brother Gu who said that it was too dangerous for her and asked Quin to stay behind.

So with all these facts, Big Brother Gu certainly knew the man behind this, or he himself could even be the man behind this.

Quin was supposed to be 'protected' by Big Brother Gu's people at this time. At the thought of this, Fade's heart skipped a beat and he became even more concerned.

He immediately took out his cell phone and dialed his wife's number. The sound from the other end indicated that the phone was off, and Fade's heart sank once again. He became even more worried. He gritted his teeth and said fiercely, "Fairman Gu, it will be good if nothing happened to my wife. Otherwise, I'll tear you into pieces."

In the meantime, Wade had come over with his men. He didn't notice the strange look on Fade's face and he asked, "Mr. Chen, would you like to look around near this place again? I..."

Before he could finish his sentence, Fade's countenance suddenly changed. He stared at Wade coldly and replied, "Tell me, what task did Big Brother Gu arrange for you?"

Hearing Fade's sudden question, Wade was very surprised. He instinctively wanted to fight back, but he calmed down and said with a smirk, "Mr. Chen, I was given the task of protecting your safety! Why are you asking this question?"

"Tell the truth!" Fade shouted coldly, with a flash of fierce anger in his eyes.

Wade was shocked and a strange light flashed in his eyes. "Mr. Chen, you know all about this mission! I'm really telling the truth!"

Fade snorted. He grabbed Wade's neck, and spoke in a cold voice, "Tell me, why did

Fairman Gu ask you to follow me here?"

"Mr. Chen, I, I didn't..." Wade kept on denying.

Fade's eyes were full of hatred, and he squeezed hard on Wade's neck, causing a creaking sound. His head began to turn red from the pressure, his skin turned red, and then purple-red. Blood started to fill his eyes.

Wade could sense the arrival of death right then, and he couldn't stand it anymore. He shouted in horror, "Mr. Chen, I'll tell you, I'll tell you everything."

Fade let go of Wade, and he threw him on the ground. Then, Fade glared at him and said, "Tell me then!"

Wade reached out to feel his neck and said in a hurry, "Big Brother Gu gave me the task of delaying you as much as possible.I should delay Mr. Chen for some time here."

"Delaying me again!" Fade felt a sense of fear. He had confirmed his earlier guesses. Their target was his wife, Quin. That was why they were constantly trying to find ways to delay him here.

Thinking of this, Fade couldn't help but become anxious and impatient. He couldn't care about these guys anymore. He launched out a strong gust of energy and knocked out everyone on the spot. Then, he launched himself like a swift shadow and rushed quickly down the mountain.

At this moment, in the conference room on the top floor of The Grand Royal Hotel in the center of Fuma Town, Fairman Gu was sitting right in the middle, with a happy smile on his face. Observing the discussions that investors were having around him, his smile became even more pronounced.

Lifting up his wrist and looking at the time on his watch, Fairman thought to himself, "It's been three-plus hours. Quin has been taken away by them, and my task is completed."

"As long as I get the reward they promised, I will no longer need to live in this small town anymore. I'm going to the big cities, be it Long City or Capital City," Fairman thought to himself. He was extremely excited. Thinking of his future, he couldn't help but smile even wider.

As for the investigation teams who were arguing with each other in front of him, Fairman couldn't care less about them. They were just a few small merchants. It was really ridiculous watching how they were fighting to death for such a small project.

When it was almost time, Fairman clapped his hands to calm everyone down. Then, he announced, "The time is up. Now, please submit your final quotations."

The investigation teams became nervous after hearing his announcement.

After all, there were about seven to eight teams who were participating in the bidding this time, and they were all good. Any carelessness in the quotations could mean losing their chance to the other teams. "Chief Huang, you should go first!" Fairman called.

Chief Huang nodded, and he was about to stand up to speak.

Right at this moment, there was a loud crash, and the thick wooden door of the conference room was kicked wide-open.

Then, an angry voice, like a wave, rushed in. "Fairman, come here at once!"
