C104 Strong Zheng Family (1/2)
The Mercenary leader walked forward with trembling steps, ”Young Noble, although we did not succeed this time, I had already protected the gates to the imperial city with my men before they came. Once they appeared, we would be able to see them.”
”I beg of you, don't let any problems occur, or else I won't forgive you.” The young master of the Zheng Family threatened the Mercenary leader.
Right now, he was extremely flustered in his heart. He was the one who had concealed this matter from the family. If others were to find out and report it to him, his future would be in danger.
He was betting on something, but if the bet was correct, then the position of the Zheng Family's Patriarch would basically be his. For his future, even taking such a huge risk was worth it.
”All of you can leave now!”
Mercenary leader took a few steps back, and after thinking about it, he stepped forward and said to the young master: ”Young Noble, before we leave, let me tell you about the person who kidnapped the little miss.”
”Speak!”
”He said — he told you to get the money ready for him.” After he finished speaking, Mercenary leader lowered his head, waiting for the punishment from the young master of Zheng Family.
”Great!” Let him wait patiently! ”I wonder if he will be able to take my money.”
After Employment Corps and the rest left the side hall, they all let out a huge sigh of relief.
Initially, they had rejected the mission, but who knew that this young master of the Zheng Family would send people to kill a few people of the Employment Corps in exchange for the submission of all the people of the Employment Corps.
It was not because they did not want to resist, but because this Zheng Qian was one of the four most effective Young Masters of the Zheng Family.
As they walked out of the Zheng Family, they simultaneously paid their respects to Long Chenhao in their hearts. The resentment they had towards Long Chenhao was not at all ordinary.
”Young master, there's news.” A guard quietly walked into Zheng Qian's side hall and asked after the Employment Corps left.
When Zheng Qian saw the guards, he immediately asked in a slightly anxious tone, ”Did you succeed?”
”The guard looked at Zheng Qian and shook his head slightly,” That corona was killed inside the Magic Beast Forest.
Who was it? Could it be those two people? Something was not right! If they had known what I had done, they would have gone to the family to report me.
The fact that these idiots mercenaries were still alive proved that these were definitely not members of the Lin Family. Then, who were they?
the next day
After Long Chenhao woke up, he found that there was no trace of Lin Mengnuo on the other tree bed.
Had she left early or gone out to do something?
Just as Long Chenhao was deep in thought, Lin Mengnuo's figure appeared in the cave once more, ”You're awake?”
Long Chenhao stood up and saw Lin Mengnuo walking back with a lot of wild fruits in her hands. She was still wearing the simple and unadorned clothes, exuding a unique aura under the ordinary appearance.
”I'm so sorry! Let you go out and pick these, and I don't wake up until then. ”
”It's alright, I'm just used to it. Moreover, Long Gongzi suffered from some exhaustion yesterday, so he should be resting for a while.” Lin Mengnuo said as she handed the wild fruit in her hand to Long Chenhao.
Long Chenhao looked at the wild fruit in his hand, a little unsure of what it was, and hesitated in his heart.
”Young master must have never eaten this wild fruit before! This fruit is called the 'True Wishing Fruit', it is unique to all of Magic Beast Forest.
Long Chenhao gently bit down, and a sweet feeling instantly filled up Long Chenhao's heart. At the same time, the fruit also had a sweet smell.
”I did not expect Miss Lin to know all this.”
”Actually, this was all given to me by a friend of mine. It's just that she has already gone to a distant place.” Lin Mengnuo replied lightly, and her words carried a slight sadness.
”I suddenly remembered something sad that made Long Gongzi laugh. I'm really sorry!” Lin Mengnuo very quickly realized what she had said.
Long Chenhao smiled and did not speak.
