After confirming that his parents had indeed never been to Hengsha City, Jiang Che gave up the search there and returned to Lin Yuan City.
Along the way, Jiang Che mulled over all the possibilities.
But no matter how he looked at it, he couldn't come up with any solid leads.
Upon entering the city, just as Jiang Che was heading home, he suddenly came across a troop of soldiers arriving from outside the walls.
They wore tattered armor, and every one of them appeared to be injured. Some even had the bodies of their fallen comrades slung over their horses.
Many passersby stopped to watch, but they were quickly shooed away by the city guards.
Over the next few days, Jiang Che made a point of visiting a Seven Stars Gang teahouse to gather information. As expected, he heard many people discussing the incident.
After a day, Jiang Che pieced together these fragments of information and formed a fairly accurate picture of the situation.
