140: Refuse to admit

"Little Qingle, what are you thinking about?" Li Changfeng saw Nan Qingyue, noticing that she seemed preoccupied.

"Nothing, Master. Let's go." Nan Qingyue did not want to say more.

"Alright then, let's go." Li Changfeng nodded.

Judging by how the Girl looked, she clearly had something on her mind.

However, if Nan Qingyue refused to speak, Li Changfeng had no choice but to feel helpless.

In just a moment.

Li Changfeng and Nan Qingyue leaped across the roof and arrived at the courtyard of the Gao Family Residence.

And right at this moment.

Many people arrived in the courtyard.

The Gao Family Old Master was sitting in the main seat, his brows tightly furrowed, icy glints bursting from his eyes as he stared intently at these people.

"Mulan Manor suddenly pays a visit today, what business do you have?" The Gao Family Old Master asked with a grim expression, sounding annoyed.

Li Changfeng quietly positioned himself on the rooftop, silently watching the scene unfold.

So these people were from Mulan Manor. But why did Qingyue harbor such hostility toward the people of Mulan Manor?

Could it be that there was immense hatred between Qingyue and Mulan Manor?

"Gao Family Old Master, long time no see." Zhang, the Inspector of Mulan Manor, stepped forward, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Zhang was powerfully built and carried a Greatsword on his back. His sword-like eyebrows, in particular, made him look very spirited.

Zhang of Mulan Manor was also considered an Expert.

"So it's Inspector Zhang? Why have you come to my Gao Family today?" The Gao Family Old Master held his head high, a cold glint appearing in his eyes.

At this moment.

The Gao Family Old Master stared intently at Zhang. This man had extremely high Cultivation and, as an Inspector of Mulan Manor, held a very high position within Mulan Manor.

Zhang's visit to the Gao Family today was likely about something bad.

"Gao Family Old Master, something happened in Yizhou City last night, are you aware?" Zhang asked gloomily.

As he spoke, Zhang kept his eyes fixed on the Gao Family Old Master.

Lord Wang, the Host of the Mulan Manor Auction House, was ambushed after leaving the Auction House at Midnight. Fortunately, he encountered good people and was saved.

Otherwise, Lord Wang would surely have died.

"Oh? What happened?" The Gao Family Old Master frowned, feeling uneasy, sensing that the people from Mulan Manor had ill intentions. "Gao slept early yesterday, so I really don't know what happened last night."

"You don't know?" Zhang sneered. "Lord Wang of Mulan Manor was ambushed after leaving the Auction House. If he hadn't been lucky, he probably would have died right here in Yizhou City!"

As Zhang spoke, he drew the Greatsword from his back and plunged it heavily into the ground.

There was a loud boom.

Where the Greatsword landed, cracks began to appear on the ground.

Spreading out in all directions like a spiderweb.

The ground trembled, and the Gao Family Old Master's body swayed for a moment.

"Master, are you alright?" The Gao Family Guards quickly stepped forward, fearing that the people from Mulan Manor might attack.

The Gao Family Old Master's face was grim, and he revealed a fierce look.

"I'm fine. Quickly go and tell Young Master and Young Miss to leave the Gao Family and go as far away as possible," the Gao Family Old Master instructed.

"But, Master?" The Guards were confused.

"Stop talking nonsense, go quickly! Also, have the Gao Family Personal Guards escort Young Master and Young Miss all the way. They must not return to the Gao Family," the Gao Family Old Master said quietly.

At this moment, the Gao Family Old Master's heart was crystal clear: Mulan Manor coming to their doorstep would likely not be simple.

Perhaps Mulan Manor was already preparing to act against the Gao Family. The exposure of last night's events was something the Gao Family Old Master hadn't anticipated.

Even so, it shouldn't have happened! Even if the Assassination failed, how could those people have been exposed?

Mulan Manor didn't capture anyone alive, so where did this news come from?

And right at this moment.

A flash of lightning crossed the Gao Family Old Master's mind, and he formed a bold guess.

Could there be an Informer within the team?

"Yes, Master. This subordinate understands." The Guard did not dare to say more. He quietly retreated and hurried straight to the back courtyard to find the Young Master and Young Miss.

Zhang saw this scene and understood immediately.

This must be the Gao Family Old Master trying to get his Descendants out of the Gao Family first.

"Gao Family Old Master, stop wasting your effort. The entire Gao Family has been surrounded by Mulan Manor. None of you can escape." Zhang held his head high.

At this moment.

The Gao Family Old Master's heart trembled, and cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead.

Mulan Manor came prepared. It seemed last night's plan was truly exposed.

"My Gao Family is, after all, the Overlord of Yizhou City, and an Allied aristocratic family cooperating with Mulan Manor. Do you, a mere Inspector of Mulan Manor, really dare to lay hands on the Gao Family?" The Gao Family Old Master stood up, raising his hand and slamming it heavily onto the table.

Bang.

Following a loud crash.

The table in front of the Gao Family Old Master instantly shattered, wood scattering everywhere.

And right at this moment.

Zhang held his head high and showed a slight Sneer.

"Then, Gao Family Old Master, do you know who exactly ordered me to come?" Zhang's face was grim, and he revealed a fierce look.

At this moment, Zhang was ready to kill. As a Guest Elder of Mulan Manor, he must obey the words of his Master.

Now that Mulan Manor has issued the command to let the Gao Family's blood flow like a river.

Then Zhang would not leave a single Survivor in the Gao Family!

All these Gao Family members must die!

"Who is it!" The Gao Family Old Master straightened his back, his pupils shrinking violently.

"The Mulan Manor Patriarch! Issued the command!" Zhang sneered.

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhang stomped suddenly with his foot, and his entire body soared into the air.

Boom!

A deep footprint was stamped into the ground beneath Zhang's foot, showing immense force.

In just the blink of an eye.

Zhang arrived behind the Gao Family Old Master, reached out, and actually lifted the Gao Family Old Master up directly.

"Gao Family Old Master, you claim ignorance about the good deeds your Gao Family has done?" Zhang sneered.

"Misunderstanding, it's a misunderstanding! Our Gao Family is absolutely loyal to Mulan Manor! Where did you hear such rumors?" The Gao Family Old Master showed a fierce expression as he continued to argue.

Seeing this scene.

The Gao Family Guards immediately stepped forward, surrounding the Gao Family Old Master.

The Guards, wielding Long Sabers, completely surrounded Zhang.

"Release the Master!"

"If you don't let go, we won't hold back."

"Release the Master!"

"Did you hear us!"

All the Guards wore fierce expressions, their anger instantly ignited.

If they had the chance, the Guards would certainly save the Master.

"Gao Family Old Master, these people of yours are loyal to you, but why are you worse than them?" Zhang said coldly.

"The Gao Family has never betrayed Mulan Manor! There must be a misunderstanding!" The Gao Family Old Master refused to yield, refusing to admit it!

Of course, as long as the Gao Family Old Master refused to admit it, Zhang couldn't do much to him.

After all, even for murder, one must have Evidence!

The Gao Family Old Master planned to keep his mouth shut. As long as he didn't admit it, there was still room for Negotiation!
