Chapter 547: Chapter 547: The Most Formidable Master Jin
“But the key issue is that we’re strangers here in this town, and we simply don’t have any idea where to start our investigation.”
“That group of people looked like locals to me, and I guess they were specifically targeting him.”
“Alright, what do you suggest we do then?”
“Right now, we don’t know anyone here, except for the hunter himself.”
“Big brother, are you suggesting we get information from the hunter?”
“Yes, I want to see if we can get some leads from him. After all, these things are not too big, if there’s any disturbance, I believe the hunter will have heard something too.”
“So it looks like we’re going to have to make a bold attempt. Should we go now?”
“Yes, let’s not waste any more time. Also, buy something decent like fruits as a gift on the street since we’re paying a visit.”
“Okay, got it. I remember there’s a shop nearby where we can just pick up something.”
After the conversation, Lin Yi nodded, and then the two of them headed towards the hunter’s home.
Even though they didn’t know who had taken the young man away, he felt these people must be significant and not as simple as they had imagined.
The person who opened the door was the hunter’s wife.
When she saw the two men, she obviously froze for a moment.
How much money he had given their family was something the hunter had clearly told his wife upon returning.
So seeing them was like seeing their benefactors, she felt truly grateful.
“Boss, um, you’ve arrived, come in, please come in, get the child’s father, the child’s father?”
The woman warmly ushered them into the yard.
“What are you shouting for? I can hear you.”
“You, you must look, look who’s here.”
It was at that moment that the hunter slowly sauntered out of the room.
When they saw the hunter and Hei Lang standing before them, he was visibly surprised.
After all, they had just met this morning—why would they come to see him again so soon? What was the matter?
“Little brother, how come you’re here?”
“Heh, I wanted to pay you a visit. We were passing by your house. Is it convenient?”
“Convenient, convenient, come in quickly, pour some tea.”
“No need to fuss, we just want to have a quick word with you, and then we’ll leave right away.”
“Oh, what is it? Tell me. Oh right, I’ve already got the medicine, and I’ve told my wife to prepare it on time for me.”
He pointed to the pile of herbal medicines on the table, then spoke to Lin Yi.
“Great, but I’m not here about your leg injury today. I have another question I want to ask you.”
“What’s this about asking questions, little brother? We’re familiar enough with each other. Just say what you need, and if I know anything, I’ll tell you everything.”
“Alright, I want to ask, is there someone particularly powerful in this town?”
“Someone particularly powerful? What do you mean?”
“I mean, in every place, there’s usually a gang, or someone who can call the shots.”
“Are you referring to the town mayor?”
“The mayor? No, besides the mayor, is there someone whose reputation exceeds his?”
“In that case, I’d say in this town, it’s got to be Master Jin.”
“Master Jin? Who is he?”
“They call him Master Jin, but in fact, he’s not very old—probably just over 30. He started out in the transport business in this town.”
“What about now?”
“In the beginning, when he was just past 20, he used to gather agricultural products from various households in town and then rent a truck to transport them to the city. He earned simply by marking up the prices.”
“Having such an idea at that time proves that his brain is definitely not simple.”
“Simple or not, I don’t know, but one thing’s for sure: over the past few years, they have indeed made a fortune with their business. Later, he even established his own company and other businesses in this place.”
“And then?”
“After that, he naturally dominated the local market. I tell you, everything in our town, if it’s to be shipped out, has to receive Master Jin’s approval. Without it, no one can transport anything. Do you understand?”
“Impressive, so this guy really is a big deal.”
“Not so much a big deal but just very ruthless in business. I’ve heard that once, armed with just a kitchen knife, he fought off 18 men by himself, which has become a legendary tale to this day.”
“Impressive indeed. By the way, where does Master Jin usually hang out?”
“Normally, he’d be at his own private estate.”
“His estate? Where is it?”
“Remember we met up at the square last time?”
“Yes, at the square. Head southwest from there for about 10 minutes, and you’ll see a huge estate. That’s where Master Jin lives.”
“An estate? I had no idea there was one here.”
“Whether it’s an estate or not, what difference does it make? That place is his private property, so us ordinary folks don’t dare to get close.”
After listening to the hunter’s introduction, he felt as though he was slowly starting to get a grasp on things.
“Oh, I see. Besides that, are there any local snakes or similar figures around here?”
“No, that’s about it. The entire town is under Master Jin’s control, and anyone under him, no matter how powerful, would just be one of his henchmen.”
“Alright, I understand. Brother, I won’t disturb your rest any longer.”
“Wait a moment.”
Just then, the hunter suddenly stood up and looked up at him.
What do you think?
