Although Dongfang Zhi's skill is far inferior to that of Han Qing, his guest minister, as the future head of the Dongfang family, his status is much higher than that of Han Qing.
Dongfang Zhi also thought that Gao Haichang came here just to go through the motions and help the city lord Yuan Hong maintain a fair image. He probably didn't really want to support Lu Yang.
So Dongfang Zhi immediately stepped forward with a smile on his face.
"It's really a blessing to have a senior executive come to this humble house!"
"Let's go inside and have tea."
"Just leave the little things here to the people below to handle."
With that said, Dongfang Zhi wanted to let Gao Haichang into the house.
Dongfang Zhi usually has contacts with Gao Haichang, and the two have a pretty good personal relationship. Therefore, Dongfang Zhi believes that Gao Haichang will definitely give him this face and lend him a helping hand.
In this way, Han Qing can continue to stay and take care of Lu Yang.
But Gao Haichang clearly rejected Dongfang Zhi.
"I'm sorry, young master, I came here on the order of the city lord."
With that said, Gao Haichang turned back and glanced at Lu Yang.
"The city lord has ordered me to bring Mr. Lu back unharmed. If there is even a hair missing, my head will be taken!"
As soon as Gao Haichang said this, everyone at the scene was shocked.
"No way?"
"Is this kid Lu Yang really the Lord of Yuan City?"
"How is this possible! As the lord of Yuan City, how can he be interested in a nobody like Lu Yang!"
Dongfang Zhi was also frightened by Gao Haichang's words.
If Lu Yang was really the city lord Yuan Hong, then he would be in big trouble today!
Although the Dongfang family is not necessarily afraid of Yuan Hong, if they fall out with Yuan Hong, the Dongfang family will have to give up their stronghold in Black Dragon Town.
The stronghold of Black Dragon Town is the most important stronghold that their Dongfang family has been operating for many years! The income it brings to their Dongfang family every year is also quite large.
It can be said that the importance of Black Dragon Town to their Dongfang family is second only to the family headquarters, Daye City.
With such an important stronghold, Dongfang Zhi naturally cannot let it be destroyed in his own hands!
So Dongfang Zhi approached Gao Haichang and asked him in a low voice, "Manager Gao, tell me everything. What is the relationship between this Lu Yang and the city lord?"
Gao Haichang glanced at Lu Yang again, and then whispered to Dongfang Zhi: "I'm sorry, Young Master. I don't know about this matter. I came here today just to follow the order of the city lord and bring the people back safely.
I hope Young Master Dongfang won’t make things difficult for me.”
Seeing that Gao Haichang refused to answer, Dongfang Zhi said again: "Then, may I ask Mr. Gao, do you know Lu Yang?"
Gao Haichang shook his head.
"Never seen it before."
Dongfang Zhi felt relieved immediately after hearing Gao Haichang's words.
According to Dongfang Zhijue, since Gao Haichang has never met Lu Yang before, it means that Lu Yang must not be Yuan Hong's confidant.
Gao Haichang is the most trusted subordinate of the city lord Yuan Hong, and almost helps Yuan Hong manage the entire Black Dragon Town. If Lu Yang is Yuan Hong's confidant, it is impossible that Gao Haichang has not seen him.
Dongfang Zhi was more certain of his previous inference. He felt that Yuan Hong sent Gao Haichang here just to maintain his impartial image and had nothing to do with Lu Yang!
In this way, Dongfang Zhi has nothing to worry about.
So Dongfangzhi surrendered to Gao Haichang.
"Since it is City Lord Yuan who has spoken, I naturally don't dare to stop him."
When Gao Haichang heard what Dongfang Zhi said, he also raised his hand to Dongfang Zhi.
"Thank you so much, young master!"
With that said, Gao Haichang walked up to Lu Yang and left with Lu Yang and Shangguan Yan.
When everyone saw Gao Haichang leading Lu Yang away, they knew there was no more fun to watch, so they all said goodbye to Dongfang Zhi and left.
After seeing everyone off, Han Qing walked behind Dongfang Zhi.
"Young Master, this guy Lu Yang has taken away our family heirloom. Are you really going to let it go like this? If so, I'm afraid it will be difficult for the old lady to do business with you!"
Dongfang Zhi had a sinister smile on his face.
"Of course not!"
"It's just that we are in Black Dragon Town after all. Since City Lord Yuan has sent people here, if we don't let them go, it would be too disrespectful to City Lord Yuan.
I've already inquired about it. This guy Lu Yang is going to participate in the treasure hunt on Shilipo outside the city tomorrow."
Dongfang Zhi said this and looked at Han Qing.
"Do you understand what I mean?"
Han Qing nodded immediately.
"I understand. City Master Yuan cannot leave Black Dragon Town. City Master Yuan will definitely not participate in tomorrow's treasure hunt outside the city.
Moreover, as long as he leaves Black Dragon Town, he will no longer be in charge of Yuancheng. Naturally, Yuancheng Lord no longer has the need to stand up for Lu Yang in order to maintain his image of justice.
When the time comes, we can take care of Lu Yang without offending the Lord of Yuan City.
Am I right?"
Dongfang Zhi looked at Han Qing and nodded in approval.
"Uncle Han really knows it all at once!"
Outside the garden of Dongfang's house, Gao Haichang took Lu Yang and Shangguan Yan out, said goodbye to them and left.
Gao Haichang also believed that his boss Yuan Hong only sent him to bring Lu Yang and Shangguan Yan out in order to maintain his impartial image. Therefore, Gao Haichang had no intention of getting close to Lu Yang and the others.
In Gao Haichang's view, it is unnecessary to waste time on a small person like Lu Yang!
After Gao Haichang left, Shangguan Yan whispered to Lu Yang: "Brother Lu, you were lucky to have escaped what happened today.
But Dongfang Zhi will never give up."
Lu Yang wanted to tell Guan Yan that his escape today was not due to luck, but to his strength!
But when the words came to his lips, Lu Yang held back. After all, Yuan Hong was the city lord of Black Dragon Town. If he told Shangguan Yan, the greedy old man that afternoon was Yuan Hong. This would obviously damage Yuan Hong's fairness in everyone's minds.
The image of a majestic city lord.
When Shangguan Yan saw that Lu Yang was silent, he thought that Lu Yang was starting to worry too.
Shangguan Yan looked around and lowered his voice.
"I think it's best for you not to leave Black Dragon Town for a while.
In Black Dragon Town, if City Lord Yuan is here today, Dongfang Zhi should not dare to do anything to you.
But if you leave Black Dragon Town, Dongfang Zhi will definitely send someone to kill you. By then, you will be in danger!"
Shangguan Yanyue said, the look of worry on his face getting stronger.
"Besides, you can't go to the pearl grabbing event outside the city tomorrow."
Lu Yang knew that Shangguan Yan was worried about his safety. Looking at Shangguan Yan's pretty face, Lu Yang couldn't help but reach out and scratch her beautiful nose.
"Don't worry, Junior Sister Xiaoyan. Dongfang Zhi doesn't dare to do anything to me!"
Shangguan Yan became anxious when he heard what Lu Yang said.
Shangguan Yan was about to persuade Lu Yang again when he heard a serious voice coming from behind him.
"Shangguan Yan, come here!"
"immediately!"
Lu Yang looked back and saw the master of Tianji Palace, Lu Chengji, standing not far behind them, staring at them coldly.
His second disciple Qi Jianyuan followed behind Lu Chengji holding a lantern.
In addition, there is Shangguan Yan’s third senior sister Zhuang Yi.
