?Chapter 187: Chapter 181: Ghost City_2 Chapter 187: Chapter 181: Ghost City_2 Ling’er said, “We are here to gather information.”
Ye Chen chuckled, “As a leader, don’t you think I also need to seek information myself?”
“I believe you have been bewitched by those vixen from the brothel across the inn.”
Can Mo said with a slight smile, “We will handle the investigations.”
“All right, let’s meet here again in two hours.” Ye Chen started to head towards the inn.
Ling’er protested, “You should be having your dinner but you’re going off to this place.”
“Of course, didn’t I get entranced by the vixens! I have never visited Ghost City before, this was part of my plan to empty my stomach.” He entered the inn and asked, “Aren’t you coming?”
Can Mo shouted as he walked away, “Ling’er, just follow Ye Chen.”
Upon hearing this, Ling’er finally followed him inside.
They headed up to the second floor.
Ling’er asked, “What’s your plan?”
“I have no idea.”
“You don’t know, you just came to play, didn’t you?”
“Of course, I got to take a good look. See if this open country really has money and if anything goes in Ghost City.”
“But you promised my father to lead them to defeat No. One Thieves.”
“I didn’t guarantee that I could pull it off, I’m here just to see. If I can destroy them, I will; if not, I’ll just consider this as an excursion.”
“You… ”
“If you’re so confident, and you can figure a way to deal with No. One Thieves, that’s great. I can directly handover everything to you.” Ye Chen found a spot, glanced around, and the performers on the stage across had started their play.
“Isn’t this delightful! What’s so exciting about fighting every day.” Ye Chen called over a waiter and began to order some food and naturally chose the inn’s signature dishes, which would be reimbursed by the New City Sect.
Ling’er understood the importance of their mission.
“Forget it, after we eat, let’s take a walk around and I’ll show you what a real woman looks like.” Ye Chen said.
…
Gua Zhengnie asked Gui Lang, “Is there any news of Wei Sisan?”
Gui Lang shook his head, “I believe he has decided to retire and live in peace in Tianle City.”
How could they know Wei Sisan’s movements? Leaving Wasteland City allowed him to act without their knowledge.
“Who remains at Sky Lake Manor?” Gua Zhengnie asked.
Elder Xi Feng replied, “It’s Ming Qi with a group of people.”
Gua Zhengnie countered, “Elder Xi Feng, do you think Wei Sisan will investigate the whole matter?”
Elder Xi Feng remained silent for a moment then said, “Hard to say, it depends on how severe his injuries are.”
Gui Lang commented, “I heard he won’t live past three months. He won’t have the time to investigate the matter.”
Gua Zhengnie considered this for a moment, it made sense.
Gui Lang added, “Wei Sisan has been severely injured, he has no energy to handle these matters. I believe he’s struggling to even take care of himself.”
“Elder Xi Feng, what’s your opinion?”
“I think it’s better to be cautious.”
Gua Zhengnie nodded in agreement.
“No way, it seems you guys scare yourselves. Wei Sisan has escaped from Wasteland City, how much threat can he really pose?” Gui Lang said.
Gua Zhengnie replied, “Elder Xi Feng, keep an eye for me and check if Wei Sisan makes any move recently.”
“Alright.”
…
The street was buzzing with people. Wandering between men and women, it appeared that Ghost City wasn’t as terrifying as imagined but rather a country of liberation.
Ling’er said, “If you let No. One Thieves escape, I will fight you to the death.”
Ye Chen smirked, “A duel to death? Where do you plan to fight? Here or inside a room?”
Ling’er continued, “How did my father see potential in you to lead the team.”
“Exactly, I have been wondering the same. He’s quite unreliable.” The food Ye Chen ordered had arrived and he wasn’t planning to starve.
“You are really eating a lot.”
“Of course, you have to first learn to love yourself, otherwise others won’t love you.”
Soon enough, Can Mo returned with his team. Giving over a report indicating a rough count of four to five hundred people, divided into three groups.
Ye Chen burst into laughter, “Their numbers are similar to ours.”
“Yes.” Can Mo concurred.
“It appears we cannot fight inside the city.” Ye Chen firmly believed that if their people were all inside the city and had friends willing to assist them, it would be difficult to confront them. Hence, fighting inside the city was not a good choice.
“Why is that?” Ling’er asked.
“Because the forces are evenly matched, the city’s complexity could help them find reinforcements. If anything goes wrong, it will be even harder for us to control; also, it would harm innocent city dwellers.” Ye Chen explained.
Can Mo asked, “Do you plan to confront them outside the city?”
“We only have one opportunity. The city is too complex and we didn’t bring many people. There might be enemies of New City Sect in Ghost City. If things proceed this way, it would be difficult even to retreat safely, let alone deal with No. One Thieves.”
Can Mo nodded, “Yes, their numbers are similar to ours and they’re scattered, it makes them difficult to handle and success seems unlikely.”
“The main issue is whether anyone would aid them.” Ye Chen voiced.
“Right, it can’t be guaranteed.”
“Even if no one aids them, if an accident occurred, it would alert No. One Thieves. If we cannot eliminate them quickly, we will all be in danger.”
Ling’er suggested, “Then let’s find a way to capture Yang Jing.”
“Capture Yang Jing? You want them to surrender, right? Your father sent us here to do more than capture Yang Jing.” Ye Chen continued.
Can Mo stated, “The leader instructed us to eradicate them, or at least deal a fatal blow.”
Ye Chen glanced at Ling’er, “Or you could take action and seduce Yang Jing. Make them surrender and switch sides.”
“You should go and do it yourself. I think he’d more likely fancy your type.”
Ye Chen spread out a map on the table and announced, “There’s only one path, which is to confront them outside. That’s their only way back.”
“Do you plan to ambush them here?” Can Mo asked.
Ye Chen nodded in agreement.
But Ling’er objected, “You’re really planning to lie in wait for them, you need to know whether they intend to leave. Currently, they don’t seem to be preparing to move, they might even plan on going elsewhere.”
Can Mo proposed, “We need to find a way to make them leave and return home.”
Ye Chen expressed, “They might leave soon and return to their base.”
“Soon? Are you predicting the future? Ling’er retorted, “We can’t rely on predictions. You want us to prepare for several days and come up with nothing? That’s your ability.”
Ye Chen explained, “I discussed with my father-in-law. Jiang Zhuge should be keeping an eye on Jue Ming, once Jiang Zhuge takes action, New City Sect will counterattack. Once the counterattack begins, Yang Jing is likely to know soon.”
“You are waiting for Jiang Zhuge to act, alarming them causing them to leave Ghost City out of fear and retreat back to their base.” Can Mo queried.

“Then you’re sure they will definitely go back.” Ling’er said.
“When the time comes, spread a rumor saying that New City Sect intends to deal with them.” Ye Chen explained.
“Won’t that alert them?”
“Without alerting them, how will they consider leaving! Only by alarming them, will they cautiously return to base. Sweet Potato, did you understand that?”
“You’re the Big Sweet Potato”
