Fang Zhicheng arranged for Yang Jian to stay in a small community called Jiarong Huafu, on the eighth floor. It was a three-bedroom, two-living room, two-bathroom, one-kitchen apartment, with a monthly rent of one thousand five hundred.
The apartment was well-renovated and equipped with all necessary household appliances, including a refrigerator, washing machine, television, air conditioner, and water heater. The sofa and bed were also ready to use.
"Little Yang, how do you like it here? I've already paid a year's rent for this place, and it's registered under my name. You can live here with peace of mind, no one will check. All the living facilities are complete. I'll arrange for someone to send over cooking utensils, rice, oil, salt, and bedding later."
Fang Zhicheng gave Yang Jian a tour of the apartment. He had specifically asked the real estate agent to find this place after learning about Yang Jian's identity. Originally, he had planned to arrange a one-bedroom apartment for him.
"Thank you, Brother Cheng. I'm very satisfied with this place. It's just that you've spent too much. Once I have some money, I'll pay you back the rent."
Yang Jian was pleased with both the interior and exterior environment. It was a relatively upscale community with excellent property management, making it difficult for outsiders to investigate.
"Don't be so formal, brother. We don't talk about money between us. I live in this community too, in Building Three next door. We can have tea together when we have time. You should rest for a while, don't worry about work, I'll arrange something for you."
Fang Zhicheng left after saying that.
After Yang Jian saw him out, he immediately called Ma Yuan and asked him to come over.
Ma Yuan didn't have an access card for the community, so Yang Jian went downstairs to wait for him at the community entrance.
Fifteen minutes later, Ma Yuan appeared at the community entrance. Yang Jian brought him in and showed him around the apartment.
"Little Ma, how do you like this place? Do you want to move in?"
Yang Jian figured that the rental house in Liuqiao Village was definitely being watched by Fo Ye's men, so he wanted to have Old Ma and his son move in with him.
Ma Yuan looked on in admiration. "Brother Yang, this place is too beautiful. I've never seen how city people live before. How much would it cost to renovate it like this? Is this the place Brother Cheng arranged for you? Can I live here?"
"Of course, you can. He's already paid a year's rent for me. We'll be living here from now on. Go back and pick up your dad, cancel the lease on your old place, and come here to enjoy the city life."
"Okay, I'll call him first and tell him to get ready early so I don't have to pack things when I get there."
Ma Yuan was excited, never dreaming that he would be able to live in such a beautiful apartment.
Half an hour later, Ma Yuan returned with only two bags, one belonging to Yang Jian and the other to himself.
"Brother Yang, my dad isn't coming. He said it's more convenient to live in Liuqiao Village for collecting scrap metal. He asked me to follow you from now on. Also, he got you a bank card. You can go to the bank to change the password when you have time."
Ma Yuan handed the bags and the bank card to Yang Jian, then comfortably sprawled on the sofa, looking content.
"If he doesn't come, so be it. We'll cook for ourselves starting today. I'll invite him over for a meal tomorrow to celebrate our housewarming."
"Okay, let's invite my sister too. I haven't seen her in a long time."
Ma Yuan was eager to share his joy and happiness with everyone.
Dongjiang Fruit Wholesale Market.
In the security department office, Fo Ye, his usual smiling demeanor gone, stared grimly at A Chao opposite him.
"What happened? Didn't we block the entire fruit market? How did that Yang Wu escape?"
"Fo Ye, as soon as Yang Wu's truck entered the market, I arranged for people to seal off the four gates and then notified Officer Huang to go directly to the Northern Trading Company.
But as soon as Yang Wu got out of the truck, he went to the restroom. Officer Huang and his men immediately went to the restroom to pursue him. I also personally led more than a dozen brothers to surround the place.
However, when we went inside, Yang Wu wasn't there. Later, according to Officer Huang's investigation, Yang Wu escaped by climbing over the restroom wall."
A Chao was the main person in charge of the encirclement of Yang Jian that day. He had replaced Cheng Guang and become one of Fo Ye's subordinates.
Fo Ye didn't quite believe him. "Climbed over the restroom wall? That's impossible. I know the restrooms in the market, that wall is at least three meters high. Yang Wu isn't Superman, how could he jump so high?"
"There were indeed footprints on the wall that could be used for leverage, and there were also traces of climbing on the top of the wall. Yang Wu is a martial artist, his jumping ability is much stronger than ordinary people. It's not impossible for him to climb a three-meter wall. There are parkour athletes now who can easily scale walls and leap over roofs."
"Damn it, this Yang Wu is really not an ordinary person. I spent so much effort and still couldn't catch him. He escaped today, and it will be difficult to find him again."
"Fo Ye, then let's not look for him. He said he wouldn't block our financial path. There's no need to go all out against someone like him."
Although A Chao had been promoted, he was reluctant to deal with Yang Jian. That person was too formidable. Several encirclements that should have been fatal to him had failed. Especially this time, even the police were mobilized, and he still escaped. He didn't know what method could capture him.
"A Chao, it's not that we want to go all out against him. I suspect he will come to retaliate against us."
Fo Ye was also regretting it now. Recalling Yang Jian's two warnings, he couldn't help but shiver.
'I mind my own business, I don't block your financial path, and you don't provoke me, otherwise, I'll kill you in minutes.'
These were the warnings Yang Wu had repeated to him. He had found it amusing at the time, but now he realized that Yang Wu truly had the ability.
The more Fo Ye thought about it, the more afraid he became. If he had wanted to use force before today, it was entirely to save face and also to give his brothers an explanation, after all, Yang Wu had embarrassed him in public and injured so many people.
But now it was a situation of life and death with Yang Wu. Even if he didn't look for Yang Wu, Yang Wu would come back for revenge.
If someone like Yang Wu launched a lone wolf-style attack, it would be truly difficult to guard against, as ordinary bodyguards couldn't stop him.
"Fo Ye, what should we do now? Yang Wu has the support of the Xichuan Gang. It won't be easy to find him in a short time, and we might even be counter-attacked by him."
A Chao tried his best to persuade Fo Ye to stop, but he didn't dare to say it directly.
"Arrange for people to keep an eye on Old Ma and Fang Zhicheng. You must find Yang Wu. This person is too terrifying. Unless he leaves Dongjiang, I won't be able to sleep or eat in peace."
"Okay, but it's easy to keep an eye on Old Ma, but it's a bit troublesome to keep an eye on Fang Zhicheng. Tracking him for a short time is fine, but following him for a long time will make him aware, alert the snake, and even provoke a counter-attack from Fang Zhicheng."
"I don't care. You must find that Yang Wu by any means necessary. Either he dies or he leaves Dongjiang. I don't want to see this person again."
Fo Ye lost his temper. While he appeared very strong on the surface, he was actually feeling insecure. At his level, he valued his life greatly and had long passed the age of fearing nothing. His current wealth and status were hard-earned, and he couldn't afford to have it ruined by a young brat.
