Chen Jiu Deng stared at Chu Li. He frowned and did not say a word.
He was afraid of Chu Li. Chu Li broke into his study room without a sound. He was not an ordinary person.
There were twenty-eight Protectors in the residence. Even birds would not be able to enter. It was not difficult for Chu Li to break in. The difficult part was that he did not make a sound.
The Startling Cloud Association wanted to support him to become the Association Leader. They also found out about Chen Xuefeng. They should know that he was not willing to be a puppet.
Chu Li smiled. "I chose you because you can support the Rockwell Association. Also, Chen Xuefeng is a talent. The Association Leader cherishes talent and does not want him to die."
"You are very arrogant," Chen Jiu Deng said coldly.
At his age and status, he would not trust anyone easily. There were only three people who knew about Chen Xuefeng's existence. His wife, and the Association Leader.
What if this was the Association Leader's test? Chen Li was not from the Startling Cloud Association, but the Association Leader?
The Association Leader was a suspicious person. It was not impossible for him to do such a thing!
Chu Li said, "There are many people in the Rockwell Association who want to be the Association Leader. The other three Clan Leaders must be interested too. It's a pity for Chen Xuefeng!"
"Chen Xuefeng is …?" Chen Jiu Deng scoffed.
Chu Li said, "He does not know that we have found out. He is very diligent. The Association Leader wants to promote him."
"This is a serious matter. Let me think about it for two days!" Chen Jiu Deng said.
"Clan Leader Chen still does not trust me. Fine, I will help you get rid of the Clan Leader of the Shang Wu Clan first!" Chu Li smiled.
Chen Jiu Deng looked at him suspiciously.
Chu Li smiled. "The Clan Leader of the Shang Wu Clan is your enemy. Helping you is a sign of our sincerity!"
As soon as he finished, he disappeared from the study room.
Chen Jiu Deng got up and opened the door. He rushed into the courtyard. The night was dark and he could not see anyone.
It was as if Chu Li did not exist. It was just a dream.
"Guards! Guards! "Chen Jiu Deng shouted.
A group of Protectors rushed over. They stood at the bottom of the stairs and looked at him seriously.
A beautiful middle-aged woman also gracefully walked over. She had a graceful figure and a gentle posture. "Master, what happened?"
Chen Jiu Deng glanced around. All the Protectors were still there. Obviously, they did not know that Chen Jiu Deng had come in. Chen Jiu Deng sighed helplessly and waved his hand.
The crowd was baffled and dispersed.
The middle-aged woman came closer and sized him up. She asked in a low voice, "Master, what happened?"
Chen Jiu Deng shook his head and smiled. "It's okay … Madam, your body is weak. You should go and rest. You don't have to worry about this!"
"I can't sleep. I feel restless." The middle-aged woman shook her head and said, "Master, you should also rest early. Don't work too hard, your health is the most important!"
"… Alright." Chen Jiu Deng nodded.
The middle-aged woman held his arm and walked forward. The two of them strolled to the back garden. She looked at the sky and sighed.
Chen Jiu Deng knew what she was thinking about. He waved his hand and dismissed the maids. "Madam, are you thinking about Feng again?"
"Sigh … I wonder how he is now." The middle-aged woman sighed. "He has suffered since he was young. Every time I see the young people in the gang, I think of him. I don't know if he will be in danger."
"Don't worry, Ma 'am. Feng is very smart." Chen Jiu Deng patted her hand.
The middle-aged woman shook her head. "I can only comfort myself. Life and death are decided by fate. He has never enjoyed a day of happiness with me as his sister. Just thinking about it makes me feel guilty."
Chen Jiu Deng said, "If it doesn't work, let Feng come back."
"Let him come back?" The middle-aged woman asked.
Chen Jiu Deng nodded. "Yes, I will send someone to ask him to come back in two days."
"That's for the best!" The middle-aged woman nodded. "I don't expect him to have any achievements. I just want him to be safe and healthy. If he can marry and have children, it will be perfect!"
Chen Jiu Deng remained silent.
If Chen Li really wanted to help him, he might not let Feng go. Feng was like a hostage. If Chen Li really let Feng come back, he would be worried.

Chen Jiu Deng hugged his wife. He was thinking about whether Chen Li really wanted to help him or not. The Startling Cloud Gang was ambitious. How could a woman have such ambition?
However, it was reasonable for a master like Chen Li to be ambitious.
He fell asleep in a daze. Suddenly, someone knocked on the door from outside. "Master! Master! Master! "
Chen Jiu Deng sat up immediately. "What's the matter?"
"Master, the gang leader has summoned you. There is an urgent matter to discuss. He wants you to go there immediately and bring more guards with you!"
"Okay, I will go there immediately."
Chen Jiu Deng patted the sleepy wife. "I have to go out for a while. You can go to sleep first."
The middle-aged woman's eyes were hazy as she murmured, "Something big happened?"
"Nothing." Chen Jiu Deng smiled and patted her.
The middle-aged woman fell into a deep sleep again.
Chen Jiu Deng got out of bed quietly. He put on his clothes and opened the door carefully. When he walked out of the house, the middle-aged housekeeper came forward and whispered, "Master, it's urgent."
Chen Jiu Deng said, "Don't wake the wife up no matter how serious it is!"
"Yes," the middle-aged housekeeper replied.
Chen Jiu Deng came to the living room. A young man stood up and gave a fist salute. "Greetings, Leader Chen. The gang leader has summoned us urgently. Please gather all the guards. We will go there immediately. The gang leader is waiting."
Chen Jiu Deng asked, "Xiao Cui, what happened?"
Xiao Cui looked around.
Chen Jiu Deng smiled. "We are all on the same side. Tell me!"
"Leader Wu was assassinated!" Xiao Cui sighed and shook his head. "He is not going to make it."
Chen Jiu Deng's expression changed. He thought of Chen Li and asked, "Who did it?"
"I don't know." Xiao Cui waved his hand. "The gang leader is furious. I don't know who did it. When the guards heard the commotion and went in, the assassin had already escaped!"
"What?!" Chen Jiu Deng's face was gloomy. He strode outside.
The guards followed behind him.
Chen Jiu Deng waved his hand. "You guys stay here and guard the house!"
"Leader, the gang leader ordered us to bring all the guards. This is to prevent the assassin from killing the other leaders!" Xiao Cui said awkwardly.
Chen Jiu Deng shook his head. "I'm fine. The house needs manpower! Alright, it's decided. Xiao Cui, let's go! "
He strode away. Only two guards were left behind. The rest returned to their original positions.
They knew that Chen Jiu Deng was very concerned about his wife. They braced themselves to prevent the assassin from taking advantage of the situation.
Chen Jiu Deng left the house. He did not ride a horse. Instead, he used his Light-body Technique. Along the way, he met the other two leaders, Shang Zhi Clan's leader and Shang Ren Clan's leader. They were surrounded by a large group of guards.
When he entered the living room, he saw the gang leader Ma Tong sitting on the armchair. His face was gloomy. His whole body was boiling with anger. He was about to explode at any time.
Chen Jiu Deng entered the living room and asked, "Leader, how is Leader Wu?"
"He's dead!" Ma Tong was tall and strong. He had a red face. He had a pair of phoenix eyes and thick eyebrows.
Chen Jiu Deng asked, "Did you find out who did it?"
