Chapter 2223
Peter Pan looked up and threw a glance at Jiang Ning. The look on his face darkened instantly. It was clear that he wasn't happy
about Jiang Ning interrupting his game. "We're done playing." The old man sent the chess pieces scattering across the board.
"What a downer!"
Jiang Ning was speechless. The old man had been granted free board and meals and had been squatting in the academy ever
since. He hardly had any right to complain about anything. "We found him," he said curtly.
Peter Pan instantly became a changed man when he heard that. He turned and stared at Jiang Ning. There was a cold
murderous glint in his eyes.
"You found him?"
"Kind of." Jiang Ning nodded. "He seems to be looking for something."
He kept his eyes on Peter Pan as he spoke, as if he was hoping for a reaction that
might provide him with a clue or two.
He was rewarded with a look of confusion instead.
"Looking for something?" The old man smacked his head as he thought furiously. "What's he looking for? Why do I have a
feeling that I know what he's looking for? Why can't I remember?" "It's alright. Take your time," said Jiang Ning. "We have plenty
of it."
He knew it. Peter Pan knew what Mr Lang was looking for. But he had lost his memory and couldn't remember many things. He
couldn't even remember what Mr Lang was looking for. "What does he plan to do with whatever he's looking for?" asked Jiang
Ning.
"I told you, didn't I? I can't remember!" Peter Pan glared at Jiang Ning.
Jiang Ning shut up immediately.
The old man sure had a hot temper.
He did not interrupt Peter Pan as the latter sat there and slowly tried to remember what he had forgotten. All Jiang Ning could do
now was wait. He needed more information before he could decide his next step.
Jiang Ning wasn't going to leave Donghai unless he had to.
Lin Yuzhen's tummy was growing increasingly bigger. The baby was due soon. Unless there was an emergency, he wanted to
stay by Lin Yuzhen's side.
Jiang Ning left the academy and went straight home.
Right now, there was nothing more important to him than his wife and kid.
Meanwhile, in New Mexico. Sah th FndNovl.nt website on Gøøgl to access chapters of novels early and in the highest

Mr Lang was standing on a cliff. Behind him were a few of his men. With a glazed look in their eyes, they appeared like robots
with no minds of their own.
Mr Lang had been able to wrestle control of the mind of Luo Qi, the sect leader of Tianlian Sect easily. Compared to Luo Qi,
these ordinary men stood no chance against Mr Lang.
"Mr Lang, we didn't find anything. I think we're headed the wrong direction."
"Continue searching," Mr Lang said coolly. "It must be here. I remember it's here somewhere. Get more men and comb the area.
You must find it for me!"
"Yes, sir!"
The men departed immediately and began the search.
He had wrestled command over the gangsters in the turfs around New Mexico. Having been split into several groups, these men
headed off in different directions, combing the area and leaving no stone unturned as they conducted their search.
Mr Lang stood on the cliff, his eyes narrowed slightly.
"If this doesn't work the first time,
then we'll simply have to do it again. It may have failed the first time, but it can't fail again. I have to find it as soon as possible,
before he remembers and complicates matters."
There was a blank look in Mr Lang's eyes. It was as if his body had been emptied of its very soul, leaving behind a mere shell. It
was terrifying sight to behold.
He stood at the cliff, gazing into the
distant jungle. The thick jungle ahead of him was uninhabited by human life. Who knew? He might be
hiding somewhere out there in that jungle.
Mr Lang scoffed at that thought. He took a step forward and plunged down the cliff.
SWOOSH!
As his body fell through the air, the look on his face remained unchanged. He didn't seem afraid at all.
The look on his face remained indifferent as he swiftly approached land. But just as he was about to crash into the ground,
something flickered in his eyes...
BAM!
The impact of his fall was akin to that of g huge boulder crashing into the earth, creating a huge crater on the ground. Thick
fumes filled the air.
Then, someone dashed out of the smoke, utterly unscathed by the fall, and headed straight into the uninhabited primeval
jungles!
