Deacon Lin had a barbarous look in his eyes. He was the dangerous kind and will use any means to get what he wanted.

Deacon Bai, aware of what kind of person he was, frowned but didn’t say anything otherwise. After all they haven’t been able to located them all this time, they were running out of options. So, in order to locate the Cheng’s, this was necessary.

Innkeeper Zhu was worried and couldn’t help but to say, “Dr. Xu was pretty well respected among the town folks. You don’t want to stir up too much trouble.”

“Tsk, a town several thousand of townsmen, so what if he is well-respected? Our master has more servants than men in this town, what do I care about this old man Xu? He will cooperate if he knows any better!”

“I don’t think we should cause too much of a ruckus before we learned on the Cheng’s background!” Deacon Bai gave his ruthless partner a sideway glance and said in a deep voice.

Innkeeper Zhu agreed whole-heartedly. After all, he had been living here for tens of years and this was his town. Besides, if things blew up and other townsmen found out he had to do with all these, he wouldn’t be able to face them ever again.

Deacon Lin is cold-blooded, but not murderous. He sneered and didn’t insist any more.

“Nobody else other than Dr. Xu had been to the Cheng’s?” asked Deacon Bai.

“This….”

Innkeeper Zhu thought over all the gossips in the last couple of days. He hesitated for a bit and said, “I heard that the pharmacy apprentice Shen Tang had been booted out of Huichun Clinic, but I don’t know whether that was true.”
