Chapter 109 - Assassination plan

"Hello Mr. Wang, I'm here to inform you, that you can open the restaurant again. We've done a clean sweep, sadly we've found nothing of value, these guys, even though they aren't strong as you could beat them, they were thorough. They left no evidence at the place. We will convict the last man alive so the investigation will stop here. We've already fixed up your restaurant as the damage was minimal it only took a day."

Four days had passed since the robbery had happened, the police had been in contact with him multiple times. But he had gotten the same answers and same questions every time he got in contact with them. Even Uncle Hou and his connections had found nothing, so Wang Ming had no hopes that the police force in Liaoling city would find out anything.

Wang Ming thought that the police officers wanted to question him again today, but he finally got the news he was waiting for.

He felt ecstatic they finally gave him the green light to reopen the restaurant, that his restaurant had been closed for four days already made him restless. Even though he had been productive in this time period by coming up with more recipes and scouting out potential places for him to open a new restaurant. The restaurant is his baby. Seeing it being closed down just didn't sit right with him.

When he first talked with the police officers, they told him that this would at least take a week, but now only four days had passed. He wasn't sure, but most Meng Hao and Uncle Hou probably worked behind the scene to make the process faster.

"Thank you for the hard work police officer. If you ever come to my restaurant, I will give you 50% off!"

After sending the police officers out, Wang Ming called Gao Xingjuan and Louzheng to inform them that the restaurant would open up again the next day. Louzheng informed him of his good news, that his body had healed a lot faster than his doctor thought it would. His body would be good in just another month he would have to do rehab but his body should function normally in 1-2 month.

Wang Ming wasn't sure anymore that if it's him or Louzheng that has an augmented body. He had seen Louzheng's wounds Wang Ming thought that the 6 months estimate of the doctor was low already. But the more you break your body, the faster it heals, Wang Ming only had one logical explanation for Louzheng's fast healing and that's, Louzheng's body is accustomed to being broken down.

One day he would need to question Louzheng about his past. The only thing he knew so far is that he grew up in the slums, but he knew nothing more. It made him feel guilty. Louzheng's a great friend, but yet he still doesn't know much about him.

He wanted to test Fu Jinhai one last time before giving the responsibility to him, but Uncle Hou had assured him multiple times that Fu Jinhai's more than capable. Even though he still had his doubts, he believed in Uncle Hou. Uncle Hou also promised him to stay at the restaurant the first days to assure everything's running normal, Wang Ming tried to convince him he could do it, but Uncle Hou wouldn't take no as an answer.

Now he only had one last person to call before everything would be ready for the restaurant, but before he could, Wang Ming got a call from the police officer who Meng Hao ordered to help Wang Ming he had updated him after the first day but after that Wang Ming hadn't gotten a call from him before now.

"Hello Mr. Wang. It's me again, Little Jiang, I've done as you asked and have tailed Brother Hou, called Hou Zhenan. From what I've observed, Hou Zhenhan doesn't have a set schedule, he does anything he wants to, he always patrols his territories every day. But he has at least a hundred streets under his control, so he changes which ones he patrols every day. Though from what I've noticed is that every day at 9pm, he goes to one of two houses. Outside the HouZi gang territory in the north side of Liaoling city, the houses are heavily guarded, but it's probably the best place to get him. But Since the sample size is too small, I can't say for sure which house he visits next."

"I couldn't see clearly as both houses were crawling with guards, but the houses are almost identical there're fences surrounding both houses with cameras on the walls, one has a blind spot on the left side, from there you can climb up a wall to get to the second floor, but I couldn't get close enough to see the layout of the second floor."

"Thank you Long Jiang, please keep tailing him and give me his location when he's going to one of the houses."

"Yes, sir!"

Wang Ming had no more specific plans yet, he didn't want to kill Hou Zhengan unless he had to, not only this but he had didn't know the layout of the house he could only try his best and be as stealthy as possible.

At first when Wang Ming's body became stronger, it was hard for him to control his body, since he had so much strength which he wasn't used to, but after a while he got better and better at controlling his strength. Especially at the robbery, Wang Ming felt that he had gotten a new level of mastery over his body. He could effectively control how much power and force he used in every move, which is very beneficial for stealth. He could walk as quiet as a mouse.

But of course he couldn't only rely on this, he still had a trump card. Wang Ming had taken a pistol from the robbery with him. It only had three bullets, but that would be more than enough to kill Hou Zhenang. Luckily, since it was only him and Qiao Meng who had seen the two last robbers, no one knew about the pistol Wang Ming had grabbed, not even Qiao Meng knew.

But it's a path he has to traverse, there's no way back now, he couldn't leave this life. He couldn't walk away from Lang Lin, Fu Ya, Ming Ming and his friends and brothers. If he doesn't go through hell, who would?
