An Unexpected Guest

The private guards felt their chests tighten when Zhang Junheng yelled, pouring into the building. However, they flipped the entire place upside down and still could not find anyone.

“Report, no one in the bedroom!”

“Report, no one in the main hall!”

“Report, no one in the backyard!”

“Report, we found Zhixi under the bed, and she is dead!”

“Report, we found a male's footprints in the room!”

“Report, we found everyone else in the building, they're all dead in the firewood room!”

“Repot, someone opened a hole in the roof of the bedroom!”

As reports poured in continuously, Zhang Junheng's face darkened. He eyed Qiu Liansheng next to him with hatred and anger deep in his bones. With a low voice, he forced the words out of his mouth. “Search harder! Find out exactly what happened!”

The guards felt their chests tightened again as the leader of the officials at the restaurant from before, who was also a policeman, said, “Don't worry, Sir! I will find the truth!”

Zhang Junheng left in a huff. Chengan's own city guards finally stepped forward to disperse the crowd.

Li Chengfeng was already two streets away by now. After turning a corner, he took off the cloth around his face and panted heavily.

He was about to leave when he heard a low call, “Young master?”

He was startled and turned around, only to see a timid face peeking out from the corner. It was Xiaobao!

Li Chengfeng was so furious he rushed forward to kick him. Zhao Xiaobao, already antic.i.p.ating this, leapt aside. Chengfeng grabbed him harshly and hit his head. “Did you want to kill me?! You must've been waiting for this day to come!”

Zhao Xiaobao cried and whined, “Young master, I didn't want that to happen either… But I panicked… I had no choice! Don't you always say pick the better option when both options are bad?” His eyes reddened and welled up.

Li Chengfeng yelled, “Stop that!”

Zhao Xiaobao wiped his tears away frantically and said, “But, Young master, no one saw you, right?”

He raged, “Do you think I'm as stupid as you? Of course not!”

Zhao Xiaobao sobbed. “What do we do now?”

Li Chengfeng's face darkened. “Ugh, all along, I am always the bully, not the other way round! I better not find out who cheated me, I'll punch him!”

Xiaobao nodded vigorously. “Yes, punch him!”

“Yes, you do it!”

Xiaobao was startled. “Huh? Me?”

Li Chengfeng kicked his b.u.t.t. “Yep! Let's go, we don't want anyone to see us!”

Like a wronged daughter-in-law, Zhao Xiaobao sighed and followed behind. He asked carefully, “Where are we going?”

“Nonsense, home of course! Such a big thing happened, where else could we go?!”

Xiaobao followed hurriedly as they nervously blended into the crowd. After a while, they finally arrived at the Li family residence in the western region of the city. They had just entered the alley when they coincidentally ran into one young and one old servant of the Li family and rushed anxiously out.

The older servant lit up when she saw Li Chengfeng. “Young master, you're back! That's great, Madam's waiting for you at home!”

After such a large commotion, Li Chengfeng was already emotionally unstable. When he heard her, his stomach was in knots!
