I Can See Through All Things' Information

Chapter 72 Change of Mindset, Probing into the Details



Lu Qing was on his way to the big market.

Indeed, the man he was looking for was none other than Ma Gu, the person in charge of the market.

Ma Gu had connections even with the Wei Family, so he likely knew the details about the Black Wolf Gang.

Walking slowly, Lu Qing's expression remained calm.

He felt that his current state was somewhat peculiar.

He had just killed quite a few people, yet his heart felt little turbulence.

If there was any change, it was more like he had shed a pair of shackles, his spirit feeling somewhat lighter.

What did this mean? Was he naturally inclined to kill?

After killing so many people, instead of feeling fear or tension, he felt relaxed.

Or perhaps, because he killed only scum, he bore no guilt.

Lu Qing thought it strange.

Since achieving some success in his cultivation of martial arts, he had always tried to avoid being engulfed in slaughter, fearing what he might become once he broke his vow against killing.

This might reflect a kind of pretentiousness from someone who had crossed over from a modern legal society.

As it turned out, his worries were unnecessary.

Though killing was nothing to be pleased about, its impact wasn't as profound as he imagined.

As long as he could maintain his true nature, the act of killing wouldn't affect his inner peace.

With these strange thoughts revolving in his mind, Lu Qing arrived at the outskirts of the big market.

Today wasn't a market day, and there were hardly any people around.

Lu Qing glanced around and soon walked towards a residence not far away.

Upon reaching the front of the residence and seeing that the gate was tightly shut, he knocked a few times.

Soon, someone came to open the door, and upon seeing Lu Qing, the person was first stunned, then surprised.

"Young Master Lu, what brings you here?"

It turned out that the door was opened by Little Tian, a subordinate of Ma Gu whom Lu Qing had met before.

"I've come to visit Lord Ma; I wonder if he's at home," Lu Qing inquired.

"Yes, yes, Lord Ma is drinking in the backyard; I'll go call him," Little Tian promptly replied.

"There's no need for such trouble; I'll go directly to the backyard to meet Lord Ma."

Lu Qing did not want to waste time.

After a moment's thought, Little Tian saw no issue with it.

He knew that Lord Ma had always desired to befriend Young Master Lu, having even gifted him one of his treasured sabers.

So he just hesitated briefly before nodding, "Please follow me, Young Master."

Lu Qing followed Little Tian into the residence, passed through two gates, and arrived at a quaint little courtyard.

In the courtyard, under a vine trellis, sat a stone table with one man drinking alone—it could only be Ma Gu.

"Young Master Lu, please wait a moment."

Little Tian held Lu Qing back, then hurried over to Ma Gu and began to whisper.

Then Lu Qing saw Ma Gu, his face lighting up with surprise as he stood and looked their way.

"Brother Lu, what brings you here?"

"Lord Ma seems in good spirits, drinking here so early in the morning," Lu Qing approached and said with a smile.

"Just idling and sipping a little," Ma Gu appeared very cheerful, "How about it, Brother Lu, would you join me for a couple of drinks?"

He certainly had reasons to be cheerful.

The recent incident involving the young master of the Wei Family had been perfectly resolved. Not only had Ma Gu not been punished by the Wei Family, but the Housekeeper of Wei had even rewarded him handsomely, keeping his spirits quite high in the past few days.

"Perhaps another time; today, I have something I need to consult with Lord Ma," Lu Qing declined.

Ma Gu only noticed the War Saber carried on Lu Qing's back at that moment.

His heart stirred, and his expression grew a bit stern.

"Xiao Tian, you go outside and keep watch. Don't let anyone come close."

"Yes, Master Ma."

After Xiao Tian had left, Ma Gu then invited Lu Qing to sit.

"Brother Lu, what has happened?"

Lu Qing did not answer directly but asked, "Master Ma, do you know a person named Han Wu?"

"Han Wu?" Ma Gu thought for a moment, then shook his head, "I have never heard of that name."

"This man claimed to be a disciple of the Black Wolf Gang. He also had a sworn brother named Zhao Xiong, who is also a disciple of the Black Wolf Gang."

Zhao Xiong, the man with a large mole who Lu Qing had kicked to death; this name was information discovered through Superpower.

"The Black Wolf Gang?" Ma Gu was startled, "How did you get involved with this gang?"

"How so, is the Black Wolf Gang very powerful?" asked Lu Qing.

"It's not that they are extremely powerful; it's just that the Black Wolf Gang always acts clandestinely with cruel and ruthless methods. They are infamously known for this. Their usual dealings are also not honorable, involving brothels and casinos; thus, they hold considerable power within the government office and are one of the three major gangs."

"I see," Lu Qing pondered.

"Why, Brother Lu, do you have a grudge with the Black Wolf Gang?" Ma Gu asked.

"I suppose yes," Lu Qing nodded, "My parents were likely killed by them."

Ma Gu: "..."

This isn't just a grudge; it's completely a deep-seated vendetta!

But how did he not know about this matter? The information Xiao Tian gathered from Jiuli Village stated Lu Qing's parents had died accidentally by drowning.

It seemed there were hidden details to this situation.

"Brother Lu, are you certain about your findings at this time?" Ma Gu asked.n/ô/vel/b//in dot c//om

"I am still investigating, but this was claimed by the elders in the village, so it should not be wrong."

"And Han Wu and Zhao Xiong you mentioned were..."

"This morning, a group who claimed to be from the Black Wolf Gang stormed into our village. They intended to capture me and Little Yan, saying we had to pay off the debt owed by my parents to the Gang, and these men included Han Wu and Zhao Xiong."

"Later, they were stopped by the villagers, and that was how I discovered my parents' death related to the Black Wolf Gang," explained Lu Qing.

"So these members of the Black Wolf Gang..."

"I killed them all."

"..."

Ma Gu hadn't expected this young brother he had before him to have just killed a man.

However, thinking about Lu Qing's martial artist identity, he felt somewhat understanding.

These days, which martial artist didn't have lives on their hands?

As long as they didn't engage in the massacre of common folks, the governmental office wouldn't usually interfere with martial artists' fights and killings.

After a moment of thought, he continued, "Then you couldn't get the truth about your parents' death from Han Wu and Zhao Xiong?"

Lu Qing shook his head: "I was too heavy-handed initially, and before I could question them, I had killed them all."

Ma Gu: "..."

This younger brother's lethality seemed to be quite severe.

"So even though you've killed some members of the Black Wolf Gang, you still do not know exactly how your parents died?"

"That's correct," Lu Qing nodded, "But I know these Han Wu and Zhao Xiong seemed not to be official members of the Black Wolf Gang but rather peripheral members. Moreover, they appear to have a few brothers dominating locally, who are similarly the culprits behind my parents' demise."

"Peripheral members?"

Ma Gu paused, and suddenly, as if he remembered something, his eyes brightened.

"I think I might know who you are looking for."
