228: Report

The Mulan Manor disciple did not dare to be negligent; upon seeing Zhang Chongfei, he immediately performed a deep bow.

Right at that moment...

Li Changfeng happened to be observing this scene from the shadows. His lips curled into a smirk.

"This really is 'finding it without any effort.' It's a good thing I stumbled upon him, otherwise, he would have been truly difficult to find." Li Changfeng's lips curled again.

Previously, Li Changfeng had come to the Gao Family Warehouse twice searching for Zhang Chongfei, but there had been no sign of him.

But this time...

By following this Mulan Manor disciple, Li Changfeng had actually found Zhang Chongfei's hiding place.

This was truly a godsend!

Li Changfeng could no longer wait. A cold glint flashed in his eyes as he stared intently at Zhang Chongfei.

"If you have something to say, say it directly! There's no need to hesitate." Zhang Chongfei glanced at the Mulan Manor disciple and surveyed his surroundings before speaking slowly.

This Mulan Manor disciple kept insisting that he was in danger.

In truth, Zhang Chongfei hadn't believed him from the start. Mulan Manor disciples were everywhere here; even if someone truly intended to kill Zhang Chongfei...

...but here...

...reinforcements were everywhere. An assassin shouldn't choose to strike at a time like this.

However, seeing the nervous look on the Mulan Manor disciple's face, Zhang Chongfei found himself forced to believe it.

After all, no one would use such a method to play a prank on Zhang Chongfei.

"Commander, you must leave quickly! Someone here at the Gao Family wants to kill you!" the Mulan Manor disciple blurted out.

Upon hearing these words...

Zhang Chongfei was momentarily stunned, and his heart couldn't help but tremble.

After a long while, Zhang Chongfei finally regained his composure. He took a sharp breath, trying to calm himself down.

And just then...

The Mulan Manor disciple's eyes lit up. His serious expression didn't make it seem like he was lying.

"Commander, you must believe me! I'm really not lying to you. I've already tricked that fellow into going to the Gao Family Main Hall. If he realizes and finds this place again, it will be too late to leave! Commander, you must leave here as quickly as possible!" The Mulan Manor disciple said, his fists clenched tightly.

The Mulan Manor disciple had witnessed Li Changfeng's terrifying nature; facing such an enemy, he didn't dare to be the least bit negligent.

The Mulan Manor disciple knew in his heart that if Li Changfeng were given time, he would definitely find this place!

With Li Changfeng's methods, he would surely be able to extract Zhang Chongfei's whereabouts from the mouth of a Mulan Manor disciple through questioning.

If Li Changfeng caught up, then Zhang Chongfei would have no way out but death.

"Who is this person you're talking about?" Zhang Chongfei first forced himself to stay calm.

In truth, even at this point, Zhang Chongfei still wanted to clarify one thing: who exactly was this person, and why did they want to kill him?

Zhang Chongfei pondered carefully. He had only recently arrived in Yizhou City.

Moreover, Zhang Chongfei had come on a secret mission this time. Only a very few people knew his whereabouts. Even if he had enemies outside, they shouldn't know where he was.

This made Zhang Chongfei even more curious. Who exactly would try to kill him?

Could there be other enemies in the Jianghu?

Thinking it over, it shouldn't be possible. Those enemies wouldn't come here, and they certainly wouldn't come to make a move against him.

There must be another issue involved, or perhaps this assassin was dispatched by an insider.

"Commander, I don't know who he is either, but when I was captured by him earlier, I could feel that he bears a strong hostility toward Mulan Manor!" The Mulan Manor disciple said helplessly, clenching his fists. "Commander, stop wasting time with words and leave! Get out of here!"

The Mulan Manor disciple practically shouted these words.

Yet, Zhang Chongfei remained rooted to the spot, making no move to leave.

Hearing this, Zhang Chongfei grew even more curious. He hadn't offended anyone in Yizhou City, and even his external enemies shouldn't know his location.

Zhang Chongfei's trip to Yizhou City was a secret operation; the people who knew he was there were few and far between.

Zhang Chongfei simply couldn't figure out who would want to kill him!

"I want to understand what's going on. I want to know the truth. Do you understand, kid?" Zhang Chongfei said.

The Mulan Manor disciple was in despair. He knew that Zhang Chongfei wouldn't leave so easily.

But time waited for no one. That fellow might return very soon.

If that guy found the Gao Family Warehouse and eventually reached this Backyard, it would likely be too late for Zhang Chongfei to leave even if he wanted to.

"Commander, is the truth more important than your life at a time like this?" the Mulan Manor disciple roared, clenching his fists. "I already told you, that person is here for your life!"

The Mulan Manor disciple was beyond helpless. If Zhang Chongfei didn't have Guards around him, he would have definitely carried Zhang Chongfei away on his back.

The Mulan Manor disciple only wanted to save Zhang Chongfei, but he realized now just how difficult that would be.

And right then...

A guard turned around and glanced at Zhang Chongfei.

"Commander, this kid doesn't seem to be joking. How about we hide for a bit and come back out later to check?" The guard meant well.

These Guards were Zhang Chongfei's Personal guards. Their only purpose for existing was to protect him.

If Zhang Chongfei died, these Guards would have no reason to exist.

"Mm, that works too." Zhang Chongfei finally nodded.

Seeing this...

...the Guards also let out a long sigh of relief.

In fact, the Mulan Manor disciple's words made some sense. If he wasn't lying and that fellow found this place...

...and then killed Zhang Chongfei, none of these Guards would be able to escape. They would all have to be buried with him.

Rather than gambling on this, the Guards preferred to take a more secure approach.

That was to hide first; if someone did find this place, they could still react accordingly.

"Commander, hurry, let's go!" Upon hearing this, the Mulan Manor disciple was overjoyed. He had finally saved Zhang Chongfei's life.

At this moment, the Mulan Manor disciple could already see his future self. Perhaps by saving Zhang Chongfei's life, he could get a promotion and strike it rich.

The favor of a Mulan Manor Personal guard Commander was worth far more than ten thousand taels of gold.

"Commander, let's go. I'll take you to the Tunnel to hide!" The guard didn't dare delay, and dozens of them all stepped forward.

"I suppose that's all we can do. Let's go then. If that fellow finds this place, you all kill him for me." Zhang Chongfei's face darkened, and a cold glint flashed in his eyes.
