Supreme Warrior in the City

Chapter 1489: Chapter 1488 Entering Yanbei

The ones that truly caught Su Yang’s attention were the third category of residents living in the estate. In fact, they also comprised the largest group of people here.

These people possessed no martial skills whatsoever and lived in the Su Family of Yanbei solely to serve its members.

The estate was almost like a small town, complete with all kinds of essential facilities. The ones ensuring that these facilities operated smoothly were this third category of people — service staff within the estate.

However, these service staff members were different from ordinary house slaves. They were free individuals, working within the Su Family of Yanbei much like employees working for a corporation, complete with contracts, wages, bonuses, and even days off. Their experience wasn’t any different from working at a company outside.

That being said, working here was still quite different from outside jobs. First off, employees were strictly prohibited from casually leaking any information about the estate to outsiders — after all, this was the Su Family of Yanbei.

Additionally, while the Su Family of Yanbei paid high salaries, employees were expected to fully abide by their rules.

Ordinary laws from the secular world held no weight here. Within the estate, only the rules made by the Su Family mattered, and those working here had no choice but to obey them.

Luckily, the rules established by the Su Family weren’t overly harsh. On the contrary, back when Su Zhan was in charge, he ensured that anyone working for the Su Family of Yanbei would receive the family’s protection. Neither outsiders nor members of the Su Family were allowed to abuse or beat the staff arbitrarily. As a result, working here was actually considered a rather enviable opportunity.

For Su Yang to infiltrate the Su Family of Yanbei, he would have to suppress all his powers, disguising himself as one of these service staff members.

Upon arriving in Yanbei, Su Yang didn’t act immediately. Instead, he first checked into a hotel.

Before dawn, Su Yang, accompanied by Old Wang the Second, snuck into a residential complex.

The residents were all fast asleep, and with Su Yang and Old Wang the Second’s formidable skills, their infiltration was completely unnoticed.

They arrived at one of the buildings, where Su Yang instructed Old Wang the Second to keep watch nearby while he stealthily entered the building.

Su Yang avoided the elevator and took the stairs, ascending to the seventeenth floor where he stopped outside an apartment.

The door was deadbolted, but with a gentle motion, Su Yang pressed his hand on the lock and used a subtle force to disable it without making a sound.

He pushed the door open and stepped inside. Soft snores wafted from the bedroom. Su Yang entered silently and saw a young man lying on the bed, sound asleep.

There was no one else in the apartment; only the young man. Su Yang reached out and lightly tapped the man’s forehead, sending him into immediate unconsciousness.

Su Yang then wrapped the young man in a blanket, lifted him up, and carried him downstairs to reunite with Old Wang the Second before returning to the hotel.

After securely closing the hotel room door, Su Yang woke the young man.

The young man opened his eyes groggily and, upon looking around, froze in shock. ”W-What’s going on here? Wasn’t I sleeping at home?” he exclaimed.

Su Yang held up the ID card he had grabbed from the man’s apartment and asked, ”Your name is Zhang Bing?”

”Yes, that’s me!” Zhang Bing said, bewildered. ”Who are you?”

”You work for the Su Family of Yanbei?” Su Yang asked.

Zhang Bing’s face instantly stiffened. It was clear that anyone employed by the Su Family of Yanbei wasn’t foolish. Zhang Bing had witnessed the strength of elite experts there and understood that for someone to abduct him without his noticing, they had to be extraordinarily skilled.

Moreover, Su Yang’s mention of the Su Family of Yanbei made it abundantly clear he harbored intentions concerning the family.

”I... I only work in one of their restaurants, cleaning tables. I haven’t done anything else...” Zhang Bing stammered hurriedly. ”I’m just a small fry. I don’t know anything about the Su Family of Yanbei. Please... You have to let me go...”

”Relax. I won’t kill you,” Su Yang said calmly.

Zhang Bing’s expression grew even more dismal. Su Yang’s casual mention of killing added to his dread. He also understood that Su Yang was surely plotting something concerning the Su Family of Yanbei. Even if Su Yang spared him, being involved in such a matter would spell trouble — not only would Su Yang be a threat, but the Su Family of Yanbei wouldn’t let him off easily either!

Su Yang didn’t say much more. He simply scrutinized Zhang Bing as though sizing him up.

Zhang Bing was unnerved under Su Yang’s intense gaze. He pleaded again, his voice trembling, ”Brother, please let me go. I... I have elders at home and young ones to support. I... I really don’t know anything...”

”Hmph!” Su Yang said coldly. ”Elders at home and young ones to support? You haven’t sent a single coin to your family since you started working. As for young ones... Ha! You switch girlfriends every year and haven’t even gotten married yet. Where would these ’young ones’ come from?”

Zhang Bing was speechless. Su Yang’s words described him perfectly. But what puzzled him was how Su Yang knew such private details about his life.

In truth, Su Yang had already chosen Zhang Bing as his target back when he was in the Capital City.

To infiltrate the Su Family of Yanbei, Su Yang needed to disguise himself as one of the staff. Since the estate’s staff was fixed and required even clocking in to enter, Su Yang had to impersonate someone and gain their identity.

Fortunately, Destiny’s Tome contained methods for facial disguise, allowing Su Yang to completely transform himself into one of the staff members.

Thus, while still in the Capital City, Su Yang had devised his plan. He also gathered intelligence about the Su Family from Qinghe Academy, eventually zeroing in on Zhang Bing using the files provided by the academy.

Su Yang didn’t bother asking Zhang Bing too many questions. In truth, he had already used the Soul Searching Technique to delve into Zhang Bing’s memories as soon as the man awoke, gaining substantial insight into his role within the Su Family of Yanbei.

Much to Su Yang’s delight, Zhang Bing was not only employed at a restaurant but was also responsible for delivering meals to others. This allowed him considerable freedom to move about within the Su Family estate, perfectly aligning with Su Yang’s intended plan.

From Zhang Bing’s memories, Su Yang also uncovered information regarding Suzhao.

Suzhao was of relatively low status within the Su Family of Yanbei, likely due to his direct lineage from Su Zhan, which led to him being marginalized. Within the Su Family of Yanbei, Suzhao maintained a low profile and primarily cared for Su Ling’s daily needs.

This Su Ling was none other than Su Zhan’s son and the younger brother of the infamous Black Widow!

Based on Zhang Bing’s recollections, had Suzhao not personally protected Su Ling, who knew what might have become of him by now. It was precisely because of this that Suzhao had a strained relationship with the other members of the Su Family of Yanbei.
