175: question

He slowly spoke a series of words.

"You deliberately suppressed the Gao Family's elder at the Auction House, all to spread the prestige of Mulan Manor. But what you didn't expect was that the Gao Family's elder didn't swallow this insult; instead, he sent the Gao Family's elite and assassins to assassinate you in the middle of the night! All to take your life!" Li Changfeng turned around, his eyes lighting up.

"Actually, the Gao Family's elder doing this was also a small reminder to Mulan Manor. This Yizhou City is ruled by the Gao Family, not Mulan Manor!"

"However, what even the Gao Family's elder didn't expect was that because of this incident, Lord Wang would actually lead Mulan Manor's army directly to attack the Gao Family's mansion, even going so far as to exterminate the entire family."

"All of this was the Gao Family's miscalculation."

Li Changfeng said all this, his gaze fixed on Lord Wang.

In fact, Li Changfeng wanted to use these matters to make Lord Wang relax.

Only when Lord Wang relaxed would it be possible to get some clues from him.

"Then what about you? How did you manage it? To be able to make Mulan Manor's army attack the Gao Family's mansion, you are also not simple!" Li Changfeng wanted to know what exactly happened within Mulan Manor.

Only then would Mulan Manor's high-ranking officials agree to let Lord Wang attack the Gao Family, even at the cost of exterminating them.

Lord Wang's power within Mulan Manor had not yet reached such a level.

"Isn't it very simple?" Lord Wang smiled slightly, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

"Oh? What? You have a way?" Li Changfeng's eyes lit up, and he turned to look at Lord Wang.

Li Changfeng knew in his heart that he must dig out the information he wanted from Lord Wang's mouth.

Otherwise, it would truly be a wasted trip.

"Yes, of course I do. I am the steward of Mulan Manor's Auction House in Yizhou City. The Gao Family's elder acted in such a way at the Auction House, which was a direct slap to Mulan Manor's Face. As long as I report this matter, Mulan Manor's stewards will definitely not stand by and watch." Lord Wang's lips curved into a smirk, a look of triumph on his Face.

And at this moment.

Lord Wang held his head high, clearly pleased with himself.

"Actually, after I reported this matter, Mulan Manor's steward immediately gave me authority. That is, I could mobilize all of Mulan Manor's army in Yizhou City. Of course, even Wang Yi, Mulan Manor's commander, had to obey my orders." Lord Wang chuckled.

"So, your power is quite significant." A cold glint flashed in Li Changfeng's eyes. He turned his head and stared intently at Lord Wang.

"Actually, Mulan Manor is also fair in its dealings, not personal. Think about it, this matter concerns Mulan Manor's Face. If it were just let go, how could Mulan Manor continue to operate in Yizhou City? To attack the Gao Family, they would definitely give their full support." Lord Wang said this, then raised his head, "Young Master, isn't that the truth?"

Li Changfeng nodded lightly, lost in thought.

After a long while, Li Changfeng finally replied, "You're right, but not entirely right. How can you say that Mulan Manor's authority can be casually controlled by you?"

Actually, Li Changfeng understood what Lord Wang was saying.

However, Li Changfeng still had some doubts. If he were Mulan Manor's steward, he wouldn't entrust such great power to one person.

Moreover, Lord Wang was only the manager of the Auction House.

Wouldn't it be disastrous for such a person to hold Mulan Manor's authority?

Thinking this way, there must be someone behind Lord Wang, and that person behind him would be the true steward.

"Actually, Young Master, if you don't believe me, I can't do anything about it. It all depends on whether you believe it or not." A sharp glint flashed in Lord Wang's eyes.

In fact, Lord Wang's goal was very simple: he just wanted to escape from Li Changfeng's grasp.

As for what happened later.

Lord Wang didn't care; he just wanted to live well.

"Then why don't you tell me? Otherwise, how can I believe you?" Li Changfeng gasped.

Li Changfeng's heart was as clear as a mirror, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

At this moment.

Li Changfeng stared intently at Lord Wang, wanting to know some important things from this person's mouth.

"Then I ask you, you are merely an Auction House manager, why do you have such great power to mobilize the army of Yizhou City? Even if this Gao Family is an enemy Mulan Manor wants to deal with, why are you the one holding the authority?" Li Changfeng stared at Lord Wang.

Facing this question.

Lord Wang gasped, feeling utterly helpless.

Lord Wang was also a smart person; he didn't want to reveal the matter directly.

"Actually, Young Master, it's very simple. Mulan Manor's steward was willing to give me great authority because I was the one to deal with the Gao Family. Is there anything wrong with that?" Lord Wang tried to calm himself down and spoke these words.

"No, you couldn't possibly control such a matter. I think there's someone else behind you." Li Changfeng pondered, looking around before finally fixing his gaze on Lord Wang.

"Tell me."

"Which Lord of Mulan Manor is behind you?"

Li Changfeng's lips curved into a smile; in fact, he had some ideas.

Even if Lord Wang could mobilize the army, he wouldn't have complete authority.

Thus, Lord Wang was very likely acting on behalf of someone else, and it was for this reason that even Wang Yi had to give Lord Wang some Face.

And the Lord behind him wanted to come forward personally but couldn't.

Perhaps, this person and the Gao Family had some connection.

Li Changfeng just hadn't thought of it yet.

"Uh? Young Master, what do you mean by that?" Lord Wang's Face darkened, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Of course, Lord Wang's eyes instantly dimmed, and he became docile again.

Li Changfeng's Face darkened, and he let out a cold snort.

Immediately, Li Changfeng looked up at Lord Wang.

"Who is your backer in Mulan Manor? I'm very curious to know." Li Changfeng's lips curved upwards, revealing a triumphant smile.

After hearing this, Lord Wang gasped, looking extremely nervous.

At this moment, Lord Wang was slightly stunned, and it was a long while before he recovered.

"Young Master, I really didn't lie to you! Do you think I would dare to lie to you?" Lord Wang frowned, feeling utterly helpless.

In fact, there were some things Lord Wang couldn't say, and it wasn't good for him to say them.

Mulan Manor was number one in the world, renowned throughout the Jianghu.

"Is that so? You, an Auction House manager, have such great power? Mobilizing Mulan Manor's army—who would believe that?" Li Changfeng's gaze sharpened as he stared at Lord Wang.
