At four o'clock in the morning, Zhao Wu-chan, the exclusive attic in Nanyuan, the city lord’s mansion:
"how's it going?"
Zhao Wuyi, who was slumped in the main seat, closed his eyes and rested, suddenly opened his eyes and looked at the empty hall in front of him and said.
"The housekeeper has already arranged..."
He is still a man in black and masked dress, slowly showing his figure and slowly reporting:
"General Deng temporarily lives in Meiyuan, and Master Xu and his group temporarily live in Rongyuan. Deputy Lord Lu did not leave, so he chose to temporarily live in Lanyuan next to Rongyuan.
Because Chief Deng and the consultant Xiahou were both B-level strong men, it was not convenient for us to monitor, so we just sent some people to wait around on the grounds of serving.
I asked my subordinates to watch it in person on Lanyuan. We can receive the news as soon as possible if Deputy City Lord Lu has any abnormalities or thoughts of walking towards Rongyuan.
These are the temporary arrangements. Do you think there are any additional arrangements to add?"
"You can do it as you please." Zhao Wuqi obviously didn't want to ask too much about these things. After responding casually, he changed the topic:
"How did you find the clues about the 'Blood Red Bride'?"
"I still have no clue." The masked man shook his head and said:
"There are too few clues left on Xu Bufan's body, and we don't have much time to investigate. We..."
"Where is Xu Bufan's body now?"
"I handed over to the deputy city lord's mansion yesterday."
"With the woman Lumari is here, sneak in and continue to check!"
"this……"
"Are you worried that the 11th District will blame him?" Zhao Wuqi saw the masked man's concern and asked disdainfully:
"At the banquet today, did Xu Feifan ask Xu Bufan about it?"
"No."
"If he really cares about his brother's death, as for what he says, don't ask about Xu Bufan's situation after he comes?"
"Maybe I think it's not suitable to talk about such things in such occasions?"
"If he really cares about this, he will never come to my party to attend this banquet." Zhao Wuqi stood up helplessly and asked while walking:
"Do you know why I know that the people from both sides are here today, but I only set up a banquet for the people from the General Administration?"
"I don't know, time is rushed, and my subordinates didn't have time to consider this..."
"Because what is Xu Feifan here for?
He came to investigate his brother's death and collected his brother's body by the way! It was almost like he was attending the funeral!"
Zhao Wu-chan explained with some regret:
"He came to attend the funeral, but I gave him a whole welcome banquet. Is this a big deal?"
"The city lord is a fool, he is a subordinate!" The masked man heard the dissatisfaction in Zhao Wuqi's tone, and hurriedly leaned over to admit his mistake.
"It's not your fault." Zhao Wuqi stopped his temper and frowned slightly and said:
"No matter who saw this young master Xu lay the red carpet for the beauty as soon as he came, he showed his attentive performance. He couldn't remember that this guy came to attend the funeral."
"So, what you mean is that this young master Xu doesn't care about his brother's death at all? Can we continue to intervene with confidence?" The masked man finally realized what Zhao Wuyan meant.
"Well, but don't do it too much, don't let Lu Marie catch the opportunity to do something. This city lord Xu can show no concern, but we can't show disrespect." Zhao Wuqi turned his back and waved his hand.
"Understand..." The masked man subconsciously wanted to take his leave, but he never thought that Zhao Wuqi suddenly turned around again.
"What's going on with Zhao Yan?"
"I don't know. After the lady went to Hongye, she didn't contact us."
"Take the initiative to contact her, ask about the specific situation, and ask her not to come back for the time being. It's a mess here, and she can stay with Hongye and follow Fang Rui to be safer..."
"I agree that Zhao Yan should be safer than coming back here."
Before Zhao Wuqi could finish his words, he suddenly interrupted his voice.
"Fang Rui?! Why are you here?"
Zhao Wuqi looked in the voice and found that Fang Rui, who should have been stationed at the Red Leaf, appeared at the door of the hall without knowing it.
"At invitation from Sheriff Wang, she sent her back to meet her best friend, and by the way, they were both tour guides."
Fang Rui explained casually, then turned his eyes to the masked man.
"Shadow, my confidant, you can say anything in front of him." Zhao Wu-chan introduced.
"I've seen Gang Master Fang!" The masked man owed Fang Rui respectfully.
"Your breath is very familiar to me, it looks very similar to a guy who is following me tonight." Fang Rui looked at the masked man and said directly.
"Are you being followed?" Zhao Wuqi first frowned and exclaimed, then looked at the masked man.
"If you don't feel wrong..." After a brief pause, the masked man speculated:
"You should be talking about my junior brother."
"You have a junior brother? Why haven't you heard from me?" Zhao Wuqi frowned in dissatisfaction, and squeezed a lump of flesh into his eyebrows.
His confidant actually has the details he doesn't know?!
"I have never contacted him since I started working, so I have never mentioned it to you."
"How do you know that Fang Rui is talking about your junior brother?"
"I haven't contacted you, but half a month ago, I heard from my master that my junior brother caused trouble in the 16th District last year. He has been making a living near the α penalty area for the past year."
"Isn't your junior brother playing for Lu Mari?" The question was Fang Rui.
"It shouldn't be that he doesn't like being bound, so he's been doing freelancing such as private detectives, professional killers, professional thefts, etc.." The masked man explained, then bowed to Fang Rui and asked:
"Dare you ask Gang Master Fang, did my junior brother fall into your hands?"
"Yeah." Fang Rui nodded. He knew that the masked man should be trying to plead for his junior brother, so he simply told him:
"However, he has been released by me. A very capable guy, his e-level strength can track me for a long time, and even if I noticed him, I couldn't find his trace.
If you can find him, you can say good things for me, and I want to recruit him."
"I thanked the leader Fang for him, but his temperament probably wouldn't be willing to serve anyone." The masked man bowed to Fang Rui again and thanked Fang Rui. After standing up straight, he saw Fang Rui showing a pity and spoke again:
"What I am good at insidiousness is the way of hiding. If the gang leader really needs talents in this field, I can help the gang leader introduce some senior brothers and junior brothers."
"It's really..." Fang Rui became interested, but seeing that Zhao Wuyu's face seemed a little wrong, he had to give up for the time being:
"If you have the chance to chat alone in the future..."
"I understand... Then the city lord, I won't disturb you and Gang Master Fang." The masked man also knew that he had said too much, so he bent down to formally retreat to Zhao Wuqi.
"You were followed by Lumari's people?"
Zhao Wuqi let the masked man retreat and looked at Fang Rui.
"kindness."
"Did she find out why she was following you with someone to find someone?"
"Yeah." Fang Rui nodded and replied concisely: "She asked someone to secretly take photos of me, Lan Ruoqiao and Wang Chen, and wanted me to be the rival of Xu Feifan."
"Love rival?" Zhao Wuqi was stunned for a moment, and then remembered Xu Feifan's attentive appearance to treat Lan Ruoqiao today.
"This woman is very sensitive and actually plotted against you so quickly?" Zhao Wuqiu nodded in an instant.
But after saying that, he couldn't help but frown and said:
"No, how did she know that you came to District 24? And she could find such a professional person in such a short time?"
"I don't know, but judging from the results, this woman should be preparing to use Xu Feifan's hands to weaken her foundation. I should just be the beginning."
"I understand. Don't worry, I will find an opportunity to help you explain this matter clearly to Xu Feifan." Zhao Wuqi stepped forward and patted Fang Rui on the shoulder, indicating that the latter could be relieved.
"You misunderstood, this is not the purpose of my visit to you."
Fang Rui shook his head and explained:
"I need to continue to contact Lan Ruoqiao and Wang Chen, so it is basically impossible to avoid conflicts with Xu Feifan."
"Then what is your purpose in coming to me? You can't just want me to help you deal with Xu Feifan, right?" Zhao Wuqi took a step back in fear and emphasized without any worries:
"I warn you! Xu Feifan is different from Xu Bufan. He is a serious young city lord and the successor of District 11 in the future. If I dare to offend him, it will be like offending District 11.
So, if you make a fuss, don’t get involved with me. My little 24th District cannot be a fan of people in District 11.”
"Who was the one who was so shameless that he sent his daughter to my Hongye station yesterday, and insisted on making us Hongye look more close to you District 24?" Fang Rui glanced at Zhao Wuyan with contempt.
"If you don't provoke Xu Feifan, then I will definitely be your Hongye's closest ally!"
Zhao Wuqi made a promise with confidence and persuaded Fang Rui to say:
"I know that you young people are easily confused by love, but it is really not worth offending District 11 for women! What's more, I just look like that Wang Chen, I am not as good as my Zhao Yan!"
From his perspective, how could Fang Rui have any connection with Lan Ruoqiao, who just arrived in District 24 today?
The only answer that can explain Fang Rui's irrationality is that Fang Rui is thought of by Wang Chen's Maitreya.
"Okay, don't persuade me." Fang Rui was too lazy to explain to Zhao Wu-chan, and said straight to the point: "I didn't expect you to stand up and help me. I just came here to ask you for some information."
"What news?"
"According to the news I received, Xu Feifan came to District 24 this time. In addition to bringing a B-level consultant, he also brought twenty-four subordinates over." Fang Rui looked at Zhao Wuqi and said:
"I need the intelligence information of these twenty-four people."
"How could I know the information of these twenty-four people? Mr. Xu City Lord, don't expect me to take the risk to check it for you!" Zhao Wuqi immediately chose to shake his head and refuse.
"Do you need to check?" Fang Rui didn't take Zhao Wu-chan's trick at all. He looked straight into the latter's eyes and said:
"With your means, these twenty-four people have entered your city lord's mansion for so long, how could you not understand their foundation?"
"I really don't know! The distinguished guests from the 11th District and the B-level bosses followed behind the town. I wouldn't dare to investigate others if I had ten courage!"
"Then I'll send Zhao Yan back."
"Hey! Don't!" After hearing Fang Rui's words, Zhao Wuqi changed his words, and he hinted with a little embarrassedly:
"You Hongye buys and sells some simple information and charges money. You and I don't want to ask for such difficult information?"
"A piece of curse crystal!" Fang Rui raised a finger generously.
"What... what?! Curse Crystal?" Zhao Wuyan was stunned. He actually just wanted Fang Rui to make sense. After all, he still had to cooperate well with Hongye in the future. The charge was too high or he didn't help at all, which was really not suitable.
"Yes." Fang Rui nodded and urged:
"You'd better give me some sweetness before I change my mind."
"The strength of the twenty-four people should be five C-levels, fifteen D-levels, and four E-levels!" Zhao Wuyan gave some information conditionally and bargained:
"I probably figured out the types and ways of cursings of twenty people, but I need to check out the goods for you first."
"Isn't the goods in your hands?"
"What does it mean?!" Zhao Wuqi was puzzled at first, and then reacted and asked:
"You might be talking about that purple jade crystal, right?"
"Or what else?"
"You want to trade two with one portion?"
"No..." Fang Rui said for granted:
"Last time you didn't protect me, why should you accept my money? What's more, you promised in public that I temporarily kept this purple jade crystal for you?
So is there any problem with me using it to pay now?”
