Morning.
The sky was bright.
Jiang City welcomed people to scout for news.
Lin Fan brought cousin into the city and started to investigate Chen Family.
To solve this matter perfectly and safely, he had to understand the specific situation of Chen Family. He couldn't be careless.
Chen Manor.
As expected from an aristocratic family in Jiang City. Just the entrance alone was really majestic. Two stone statues that were taller than humans stood on both sides. When normal people passed, they would have to make way.
100 thousand silver wasn't easy to earn.
He brought cousin to the stall opposite and drank tea. At the same time, he observed the specific situation of Chen Family.
First, he looked at Chen Family's daily entry and exit.
Not long later.
Chen Shengyao brought his servant out. Teacher Li Cong followed him.
"Cousin, I beat this fellow a few days ago." Zhou Zhongmao said.
The main reason was that he looked familiar.
Lin Fan looked at cousin in shock.
Damn!
He understood why Chen Family wanted Wolf Brigade to wipe out Martial Path Mountain.
So that was the reason.
Li Cong was beaten up, but no matter what, he was just a Teacher. What could he do? Chen Family wouldn't use Wolf Brigade to wipe out Martial Path Mountain for a Teacher.
Cousin beat up Chen Shengyao, so he was definitely unhappy. With his position, it was enough to use Wolf Brigade.
What a waste.
Martial Path Mountain was fine, but Wolf Brigade was wiped out by Chen Family.
There were many stories behind this.
"Be low profile in the future." Lin Fan persuaded, hoping that cousin wouldn't be too rash. Rash was the devil. Look at what happened. They worked together to wipe out Martial Path Mountain, but now they had internal conflicts.
His cousin scratched his head honestly, "Oh, I know, cousin."
A well-behaved cousin was really lovable.
The stall owner was an old man. He saw that the two of them had been sitting here for a period of time and had been staring at Chen Manor.
He sighed.
Young people nowadays were just biting off more than they could chew.
What was the use of envying them? One had to work hard. If one didn't work hard, even if one looked at them every day, it was useless.
After a long while.
A carriage stopped at the entrance of Chen Manor. Old Master Chen walked out, and beside him were three males.
The three of them didn't look like servants. They dressed like experts.
Looking at their expressions.
They were expressionless and had a cold intent. One look and one knew that they were experts.
True enough.
How would Old Master Chen not have experts by his side?
Lin Fan followed. He didn't dare to get too close. A true expert had strong senses. If he got too close or stared at him for too long, he would be sensed.
However …
He was not afraid at all.
I was the Martial Path Mountain Sect Leader, I was a good citizen, so what problems would there be if I entered the city to take a look?
When he and his cousin were within a certain range.
One of the three men turned around and met Lin Fan's gaze.
There was a warning in his eyes, as if to say, "Scram."
Then, the man approached the sedan and whispered softly. He was probably reporting the situation.
The sedan chair slowly came to a stop.
Old Master Chen pulled open the curtain and smiled, "Sect Leader Lin, what a coincidence."
Lin Fan smiled, "What a coincidence, I saw Old Master Chen which was why I followed. I didn't expect this little brother to be so wary. Before I got close, I was noticed. Amazing."
"Haha." Old Master Chen laughed, "I am old and it is inconvenient for me to move around. It is good to have someone to serve me. Where are you going, Sect Leader Lin? "
"I am not going anywhere, I just have two things to tell Old Master Chen. One is that when Martial Path Mountain opens, I hope Old Master Chen can do me the honor and join in." Lin Fan said.
Who didn't know how to brag?
As for whether or not he could join, that would depend on whether or not things could be done in these few days.
It would also depend on whether or not Old Master Chen's life was long enough.
Old Master Chen said, "Of course, Martial Path Mountain is the only sect within a hundred miles of Jiang City. Even if I am unwell, I will definitely join. What about the second matter?"
Lin Fan said, "The second is that my cousin had some conflicts with Young Master Chen. I just found out about it, so I came to apologize to Old Master Chen."
Old Master Chen looked at Zhou Zhongmao. Zhou Zhongmao smiled in a silly manner, revealing his white teeth.
His first impression was that he was an honest kid.
He looked really good when he smiled.
"It is okay, it is unavoidable for young people to bump into each other. I won't take it to heart." Old Master Chen smiled.
The magnanimity he showed was huge.
However, no one knew what he was thinking.
Rage Points + 111.
Aiyo, damn.
What did he say just now? So he was really angry in his heart.
Needless to say, even if the small support system didn't show his name, he knew who gave him the rage points.
It was definitely Old Master Chen who didn't look like a good person.
Lin Fan said, "Old Master Chen is magnanimous, then thank you. I won't disturb Old Master Chen, we will return to the mountain."
After which.
Old Master Chen's carriage left into the distance.
Rage Points + 123.
Rage points struck him once more.
How could they be so narrow-minded? Was everyone in this family narrow-minded?
Within the carriage, Old Master Chen was expressionless, but his eyes were filled with viciousness.
He scolded in his heart.
Little brat, wait and see. Once this matter was settled, he would teach all of you a lesson.
"Cousin, let's go back." Zhou Zhongmao said.
Lin Fan said, "Why? Let's follow."
He had already grasped the range of their senses.
He got close to see how far they could sense. Now he knew that they could sense within 40 steps.
He was thinking about something.
If he wiped out the Chen Family.
Jiang City would definitely be controlled by the Huang Family. When that happened, things would be much easier.
After following Old Master Chen to a secluded area in the city, he didn't continue to follow.
Old Master Chen had already entered the room.
He and his cousin hid outside for a while. Just as they were prepared to leave, someone came from afar.
"This is?"
Lin Fan frowned. He saw a jade pendant on that person's body. The mark on it was a little familiar.
Thinking about it, he recalled that it was King Wutong's mark.
Who knew that Old Master Chen was with King Wutong?
Within the room.
"Old Master Chen, have you thought about it?" The man standing in front of Old Master Chen gave off an extraordinary aura. Just one look and one knew that he was someone who often fought on the battlefield.
Old Master Chen said, "I have thought about it. Since King Wutong has high hopes for Chen Family, we will go all out to support King Wutong in his plans."
"Alright, as long as your Chen family supports us, you will enjoy endless glory and wealth in the future. Take this jade pendant with you. If you see this jade pendant somewhere else in the future, it means that the other party is also one of us." The man removed the jade pendant from his waist and handed it to the other party.
Old Master Chen received it with both hands. His fingers trembled and he was a little nervous.
Chen Family's foundation wasn't good. They were bandits who killed and robbed, committing all sorts of crimes. In the end, they cleaned up their reputation and slowly built up the Chen Family business.
But their identity wasn't clean, such that Chen Family wasn't welcomed on the path of power in the Imperial City. They would even be ostracized.
Today, their chance was here.
King Wutong was able to look up to Chen Family and bring them to carry out his plans. That was Chen Family's hope to walk towards a higher position.
"Also, don't cause any trouble during this period of time. The Imperial Dynasty's secret department has started to investigate the aristocratic families that follow King Wutong. Don't expose yourself." The man said.
"Don't worry, we definitely won't expose ourselves." Old Master Chen said. He waved his hands and a man beside him took out a goose egg-sized pearl, "Just a small token, please accept it. In the future, please help me say a few good words in front of King Wutong."
"No, definitely not. You are insulting me." The man rejected it. His expression was one of rage like he was saying that if he did that, he would turn on him.
But his hands were well-behaved. He opened his pockets like he was saying, don't give it to me, put it in my pocket.
Old Master Chen scolded in his heart. What a fake fellow, still acting.
However, he still silently placed the pearl into his pocket.
The man said, "Old Master Chen, don't do that in the future. You should just keep it. I will take my leave."
The moment he said that.
The man left; his footsteps were filled with the wind.
Damn!
Bastard.
If he didn't accept it, then return it to him. He actually took it away.
Lin Fan had long returned to Martial Path Mountain.
Old Master Chen had three experts beside him, but they were weaker than cousin.
However, if the three of them continued to follow beside Old Master Chen, they wouldn't be able to attack. The pressure would be too huge, and it would be easy for things to happen.
He thought about assassinating the three of them, but the chances weren't high.
The three of them ate and wore what they ate in the Chen Manor. Usually, they followed beside Old Master Chen.
It was really difficult to assassinate them.
Give up just like that?
That was impossible. He had to do it after taking the 100 thousand. If he couldn't, he would have to return the money.
Lin Fan lowered his head and was in deep thought. He walked towards the back courtyard.
Yuan Tianchu noticed that Lin Fan's expression was a little solemn. He understood that he was thinking about something.
Based on his guesses.
This matter wasn't simple.
Based on what happened during this period of time, it might have something to do with the Chen Family.
Don't ask why he knew about it.
Connecting all the details together, it was easy for him to come to such a conclusion.
He just wanted to know the specifics.
It was a little difficult.
There were too few details, and he wasn't able to deduce much.
A few days passed.
Lin Fan and cousin walked around the Chen Manor, searching for a chance to attack.
However, it wasn't easy to find one.
Just as Lin Fan was at his wit's end and was prepared to take a gamble and charge in, the chance came.
He and cousin were still drinking tea at the old man's place. The Chen Family servants he met were drinking tea too.
From their conversation, he knew that Old Master Chen was going to head out tomorrow.
Thinking about it, he decided not to wait.
He would attack tomorrow.
Although three against four might be a little tiring, this was their only chance.
If he missed this chance.
There wouldn't be a next time.
When Lin Fan told the Leader that he was going to attack tomorrow, the Leader was really excited; his eyes were about to turn red.
Zhou Zhongmao returned the blade to the Leader. He wasn't used to using that thing, and his fists were more comfortable.
At night.
He didn't sleep; he was cultivating to ensure that he was at his peak.
The next day.
A carriage slowly left Jiang City, and no one noticed it.
However, there were already people waiting in the direction they were heading.
