Chapter 934 - 934 894 Investigation Situation

934: Chapter 894: Investigation Situation 934: Chapter 894: Investigation Situation Zhu Meng leaned against the wall and sat down, drenched in sweat, his fingers where they were broken gradually scabbed over, no longer bleeding.

“If I tell you, will you spare me?”

He asked.

“So much nonsense?

Just speak quickly!”

“Su Changyue, she is now at City Lord Yuan Tiancheng’s place.”

“What is she doing there?”

Lu Chuan asked.

“She needs a place to hide, and the City Lord’s residence is the best hiding spot.”

“I brought some valuable things with me this time.

I offered some as a trade, and the City Lord was quite happy to let us stay.”

“Moreover, our Su family has a good reputation in the Kunlun Domain, Yuan Tiancheng would naturally grant us some favors.”

Lu Chuan sat on the edge of the bed and looked at him, asking, “Continue, who told you to come after me?”

“I don’t know, it is said to be a mysterious force from the Penglai Immortal Domain, we are not qualified to know too much.”

“All I know is that one of them is named Wan Qingyue, the rest I do not know.”

Lu Chuan stepped forward, grabbed his neck, and asked again, “Are you sure, that bastard is called Wan Qingyue?”

“I’m sure, absolutely certain—it’s Wan Qingyue.

She came from the Penglai Immortal Domain and commissioned us to do this!”

Lu Chuan loosened his grip on his neck, allowing him to sit back on the ground.

Dongfang Cheng came over and asked, “Is there something wrong?”

“This name, if I didn’t have a good memory, I would have almost forgotten it.

I once interrogated an old man who mentioned Wan Qingyue, what was his name—Guu Lie, I think?”

“In any case, this Wan Qingyue, she is the agent of Penglai Immortal Domain in the Kunlun Domain, specifically here to retrieve this branch.”

“This guy is the key.

If I don’t kill her, the people coming after us will never end.”

Lu Chuan clenched his fist.

“Now we only know that Wan Qingyue has been seen at the Su family, but she is not easy to find.”

Lu Chuan dismissively said, “We’ll take our time looking, what can she do to me?

If she had the strength, she would have confronted us directly long ago, she obviously doesn’t have the power, does she?”

“Let’s deal with the targets at hand first, starting with the Nangong family, then Su Changyue.

Once cleared, we continue moving forward, the final target being the Lu family.”

“Regarding the Nangong family, it won’t be complicated when the time comes, just directly fight to save them, but the key issue is Su Changyue.

She’s under the protection of the City Lord.”

Dongfang Cheng frowned and looked at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan took a deep breath, “You’re right, Su Changyue is under the protection of the City Lord, and we can’t just attack.

We’ll have to wait for an opportunity.”

“What about this guy then?

Letting him go doesn’t seem feasible, does it?” Dongfang Cheng pointed to Zhu Meng on the ground and asked.

“Go and buy a large dose of knockout drops, let him sleep a few days.”

“Seems like that’s the only way.”

Zhu Meng lying on the ground panicked immediately and shouted, “Two heroes, please spare me, I definitely won’t rat you out, I’ll be completely obedient, can you not use knockout drops on me?

What if I can’t handle the dosage and die?”

Lu Chuan squatted next to him and asked, “I’ll give you two options, one is to sleep a few days and then leave this place, the other is to sleep forever, you choose one, do you want the long or the short one?”

Zhu Meng swallowed his saliva helplessly and nodded, “Okay, I’ll listen to you.”

“Leave this matter to me, you go sleep, rest well.

Tomorrow we will go find the Nangong family.”

“Alright, be careful when you go out.”

Dongfang Cheng smiled, “Don’t worry, I will be cautious.”

…

The next day, early in the morning, Lu Chuan got up and went down to the lobby, where he and Dongfang Cheng sat in a corner having breakfast.

“What’s the plan for today?

Are we going directly to the Nangong family?”

Dongfang Cheng asked.

“If we just show up at their doorstep, it would cause too much commotion.

Let’s take it slow.”

“Then what do you propose?”

Lu Chuan continued, “We start by inquiring some families close to the Nangong family, see if that old fox has come out of seclusion, and assess the situation.”

“First, we figure out the old man’s exact situation, then we prepare to act.”

Dongfang Cheng nodded slightly, “No problem.”

At that moment, the landlady came over, “Nothing happened last night, did it?”

She asked cautiously.

“Nothing at all, everyone was sound asleep.”

The landlady smiled awkwardly, “The sleep you’re talking about, is it the kind from which one doesn’t wake up?”

“Of course not, rest assured, no one died last night.”

“Alright, I’ll take your word for it.”

The landlady nodded helplessly.

As she turned to leave, Lu Chuan called out to her, “Landlady, I have a question for you.”

“Another question?

You really must be first-timers here.”

She turned and came back.

“Ask away.”

“In Tiannan City, aside from the Nangong family, which family is the second strongest?”

“That would be the Xu family, of course.

Xu Jingchong, the head of the Xu family, is also a prominent figure in Tiannan City.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Xu Jingchong…

I’ll remember that.”

“Are you looking for him?”

“Yes, I want to pay him a visit.”

“Good, I have a map of Tiannan City here, do you want to buy one?”

The landlady asked with a smile.

“I’ll take one.”

Lu Chuan placed a gold piece on the table, and the landlady, exhilarated, took it and hurriedly brought the map.

Lu Chuan accepted the map, finished the soy milk in his bowl, and stood up to leave.

“Let’s go, visit this Xu family.”

Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng set off, mounted their horses at the door, and followed the map towards the Xu Family Manor.

Being foreigners, they walked quite slowly, checking the map as they went.

By noon, they had arrived at the entrance of the Xu Family Manor.

“Who goes there?

Whom are you looking for?”

The guard at the gate inquired.

“My name is Dongfang Cheng, the young master of the Dongfang family.

I’ve come for a visit to discuss some matters.”

Dongfang Cheng stepped forward, displaying his token.

Lu Chuan simply stood behind, waiting.

“Alright, please come in.

Since it’s the young master of the Dongfang family visiting, we naturally cannot refuse.”

The gates opened, and Lu Chuan and Dongfang Cheng walked into the courtyard.

The Xu Family Manor was vast, with the garden inside the courtyard alone almost as large as a lake.

Passing through the floral woods, Lu Chuan arrived in front of the residence.

The caretaker approached and bowed, “Whom are you looking for, sirs?”

“We’re looking for your Family Head, Xu Jingchong.”

“Our Family Head is in the study handling family affairs, please follow me.”

The caretaker led them through the corridor to the study door.

He gently knocked on the door, asking, “Sir, you have visitors.”

“Are they from the Nangong family?”

A voice came from inside the study.

“No, they aren’t.”

“Then I won’t see them.”

Dongfang Cheng hastily called out, “I am the young master of the Dongfang family, specifically here to visit.

It would be best for you to open the door as the matter we need to discuss is very important and relates to the future development of your Xu family.”
