Chapter 2297: Chapter 2297: I’ll Go in Person

The most frightening thing about Lu Tianfeng is that he could endure patiently for so many years without being discovered for his malice. This shows just how formidable his methods are!

"Nian, how... how do you know about Lu Tianfeng?" he asked Lin Baizhong.

Something even he hadn’t noticed—how did Lin Baizhong uncover it?

"My wife and I came from the Ziyan Kingdom. There, we eradicated a son of evil sorcery and dealt with numerous poison corpses. Moreover, we uncovered that the Eighth Prince and Emperor Ziyan of the Ziyan Kingdom were both collaborators with Lu Tianfeng."

Lin Baizhong explained directly.

"Through extensive investigation, we came to know that the one collaborating with them was someone from Sky City—the sworn brother of the City Lord.

Of course, initially, this was merely speculation. Although it was later confirmed, the words of a criminal always leave some room for doubt, so I did not disclose this to the City Lord yesterday.

But now, from that list of medicinal ingredients, I can already conclude that Lu Tianfeng is the one raising the son of evil sorcery.

Perhaps, in his possession, there’s still a large cache of poison corpses. It’s just that I don’t know where he has hidden them!"

"What should we do now?"

Lu Tianlan looked at Lin Baizhong and asked him.

"Should we find someone to keep an eye on Lu Tianfeng? If he truly is such a person, we absolutely must remain vigilant."

In truth, what he was thinking was that even if...

Lin Baizhong: "..."

Who is truly the City Lord here—this man, or me?

Why is it that as soon as something happens, he comes to ask me what to do? I don’t know what to do either!

This matter still requires consulting my daughter and her husband to see what they ultimately want to do.

But one of the strategies we previously discussed could indeed be implemented.

"City Lord, in my opinion, neither you nor I are suitable to assign someone to monitor Lu Tianfeng. But even if we can’t, someone else can."

"Who?"

Lu Tianlan asked.

But before Lin Baizhong could answer, he already realized it himself.

"My wife!"

He arched an eyebrow and uttered two words.

"She is currently pregnant, her emotions unsettled. Adding to that, their previous child was stolen, leaving her even more panicked and restless.

Furthermore, Lu Tianfeng was the one who took her pulse and provided medication to stabilize her pregnancy. A pregnant woman suspecting one person or another is entirely plausible, so if she sends someone to monitor Lu Tianfeng, no one can fault it."

"Exactly."

Lin Baizhong nodded in agreement.

"Even if Lu Tianfeng comes to confront you about it, you can simply placate him. Tell him it’s just to ease your wife’s anxiety.

Alternatively, you could take the initiative to tell him yourself. That way, he won’t have enough time to deal with the people tailing him and will instead have to passively accept being watched, unable to do anything."

"That’s a great idea."

Lu Tianlan clapped his hands in delight.

"I’ll assign An Shen and An Meng to my wife and have her keep an eye on Lu Tianfeng. As for Lu Tianfeng, I’ll speak to him myself."

"Everything will follow the City Lord’s decision," Lin Baizhong said with a nod.

"Nian, have you given that matter any thought?" Lu Tianlan asked him.

"Hmm?"

Lin Baizhong raised an eyebrow.

He didn’t understand what the City Lord was referring to—what matter required his consideration?

"The matter of going to the Haikuo Forest, of course," Lu Tianlan replied.

"I originally intended to appoint you as the leader. But now, knowing what kind of person Lu Tianfeng is, there’s no way we can let him take charge. If he goes to the Haikuo Forest, even if others don’t gather them, he could collect enough medicinal ingredients on his own."
