Chapter 945 - 945 905 Another Accident

945: Chapter 905: Another Accident 945: Chapter 905: Another Accident Yuan Tiancheng approached Lu Chuan, “Lu Chuan, let’s handle this matter together.

Nangong Qianying has turned into a maniac, and I must kill him!

Otherwise, he will endanger the safety of the city.”

“Now, come with me as we set out.

We’re going to take down that bastard!”

At this moment, the caretaker came over, bowed, and said, “Master, I have already had the servants prepare the equipment.”

“Are you planning to take action now?

Don’t forget, Nangong Qianying is a crafty old fox with many schemes up his sleeve.”

“After all, he’s the one who led the rise of the Nangong family, not just any ordinary person.

He wouldn’t act without rationality.

Since he dares to do this, he must have some confidence.”

“So, if we rashly go to settle accounts with him, I’m afraid he’s already prepared.”

Yuan Tiancheng turned his head to the caretaker and asked, “Do you have a better way to handle this then?

Let’s hear it.”

“Master, why not have the people inside the mansion gather some intelligence first, find out what the current situation with Nangong Qianying is, what his current realm of strength is, and who the people around him are.”

“Once we’ve figured these out, it’s not too late to act.

That guy definitely won’t be running anywhere.

We can take our time.”

Yuan Tiancheng stroked his chin, contemplated for a moment, then nodded slightly, “What you say does make some sense, I indeed acted impulsively.”

“Dealing with Nangong Qianying, we definitely can’t be careless.

We must prepare thoroughly.”

“That guy is definitely not a lunatic.

If he dares to act like this, it proves he has the confidence to do so!”

Yuan Tiancheng took a deep breath, “With such confidence…

what exactly is his strength?

Could it be that during these years, his secluded cultivation has led to a huge breakthrough?”

“Forget it, let Xu Tao come.”

Upon hearing this, the caretaker nodded repeatedly and departed.

“Master, please wait a moment, I will call Xu Tao right now.”

Yuan Tiancheng gradually calmed his mind.

“It’s my first time facing such an arrogant enemy, and it made me angry.

I lost my composure in front of you.”

Yuan Tiancheng sat down.

Lu Chuan pulled out a wooden chair and sat down next to Yuan Tiancheng.

Dongfang Cheng also took a seat.

“It’s normal.

Anyone would be enraged if their trusted subordinate was killed.

I’m the same— that bastard captured my friend, and that’s why I’ve chased him all the way here.”

“Hmm…

let’s wait for Xu Tao, I’ll have him gather intelligence.”

“Xu Tao…

is he the one who specifically gathers intelligence for you?”

“Yes, within my City Lord’s Mansion, there’s a small department specifically for gathering intelligence, codenamed Night Hawk.”

“He is the leader of that department and the strongest in this field.”

“Let him take charge and investigate Nangong Qianying’s situation thoroughly.

Knowing both ourselves and our enemy ensures we will be victorious in every battle.”

Lu Chuan nodded slightly, agreeing with Yuan Tiancheng’s words.

After a long while, a man dressed in a gray robe approached.

He approached Yuan Tiancheng with a full-faced smile and open arms.

“Brother Yuan, what brings me here?”

Yuan Tiancheng stood up and embraced Xu Tao.

“Brother, there’s something I need you to do.”

“Rest assured, whatever Brother Yuan asks me to do, I will do it even if I have to go through fire and water.”

“It’s like this…

that Nangong Qianying has returned.”

Xu Tao’s brow furrowed, “The old man from the Nangong family?”

“Indeed, he came down from the mountain and returned to Tiannan City.

That bastard, I don’t know what got into him, but before he even entered the city, he killed Liu Qiming.”

“Big Brother, no way, that bastard actually killed General Liu!

What on earth is he thinking?”

Xu Tao asked in disbelief.

“I don’t know either.

That guy must feel his strength is too great, and he wants to eliminate everything, to rule over Tiannan City.”

“So, I want you to investigate this guy, figure out his strength.

You’d better collect more intelligence, so we can understand his real intentions.”

Xu Tao nodded slightly, “No problem, leave this matter to me.

I’ll do my best to handle it.”

“This Nangong Qianying, he’s gone mad!

He’s got some nerve!”

Xu Tao clenched his fists tightly and turned to leave.

“Big Brother, just wait here for my report, I’ll be back with intelligence soon!”

Yuan Tiancheng sat back in his chair, watching Xu Tao’s retreating figure, feeling a nervousness in his heart for some reason.

“Xu Tao, he is one of my most valued subordinates.

I recognize his ability to gather intelligence.

Without him, I definitely couldn’t secure my power.”

“Lu Chuan, you might not even know that your personal information, it was all collected by him.”

“I know you are from the secular world, and you are from the Lu family, but your father became an enemy of the Lu family and was driven out, giving birth to you in the secular world.”

“It’s precisely because of this that I respect you enough.

After all, you’ve come all the way here from the secular world.

I’m well aware of how difficult that journey was.”

“Lu Chuan, what do you think is Nangong Qianying’s confidence?”

He twisted his head to look at Lu Chuan.

Lu Chuan shrugged and spread his hands, “How would I know, I’ve never even seen him in person.”

“But with such nerve, his strength must not be weak.

We need to be prepared.”

Yuan Tiancheng nodded helplessly, “Let’s eat first then.

Xu Tao won’t be back for a while.

You should stay in the mansion tonight, so we can discuss the matters regarding Nangong Qianying at any time.”

Lu Chuan didn’t refuse and nodded in agreement.

He had originally planned to take care of Nangong Qianying on his own, but this old man was too arrogant, having provoked the City Lord at such a crucial juncture.

Now the two of them had to form an alliance.

“It’s getting late; let’s go have dinner.”

Yuan Tiancheng stood up and walked towards the dining room.

The three arrived in the room, and the servants of the mansion continuously brought dishes to the table, immediately filling the room with delicious aromas.

“That Xu Tao, he’s quite something, to be able to dig up so much about me.

He must have a very wide network of contacts.”

Lu Chuan exclaimed.

“Of course, I very much recognize his abilities.

Let’s wait and see after dinner.

He will definitely come back before midnight, hoping he can gather some intelligence.”

Clang!!!

Suddenly, the door was pushed open forcefully, and the caretaker hurried in.

“Honorable City Lord, there’s trouble, something big has happened!”

“Just say what it is, no need for nonsense!”

The caretaker swallowed and said with a mournful face, “Just now, our people found Xu Tao’s body on the street near the Nangong Residence.”

Upon hearing this, Yuan Tiancheng’s eyes widened, “What did you say?

They found Xu Tao’s body?

That’s nonsense!”

“Master, it’s true!

That was Xu Tao’s body.

He was dismembered and dumped on the ground.

Wild dogs were nearby when our people found him!”

At these words, Yuan Tiancheng stood still, deep in thought.
