237: Catch up

Gao Family residence.

Li Changfeng and Zhang Wu looked at each other, standing face to face.

The atmosphere at this moment was extremely oppressive, almost suffocating.

"Big brother, what exactly do you want me to do?" Zhang Wu asked with a dark expression, not understanding what was going on.

"What I want is simple: I want you to help me obtain the secrets of Mulan Manor. For example, why did this Zhang Chongfei want the Seven-Colored Powder?" Li Changfeng said with a dark face, his lips curling as he stared intently at Zhang Wu.

In truth, Li Changfeng had always wanted to figure out what was going on with Zhang Chongfei.

He was clearly the commander of the Mulan Manor Personal Guard, so why did he want this Seven-Colored Powder?

Could it be that Zhang Chongfei had other goals all along?

Or perhaps there was some other hidden agenda within Mulan Manor, and they were planning to do something else.

"This... big brother, I really don't know." Zhang Wu took a sharp breath, first forcing himself to calm down.

After a long while, Zhang Wu breathed a sigh of relief. With a dark face and a cold glint flashing in his eyes, he turned his head to stare fixedly in the direction where Zhang Chongfei had been.

And it was at this time.

Zhang Wu clenched his fists tightly, feeling incredibly helpless.

This Zhang Chongfei was already dead; how could he learn the secrets of these matters from his mouth?

This was truly making things difficult for Zhang Wu. Besides, the secrets of Mulan Manor were not so easily uncovered; he would surely have to find a High-ranking official.

Only from the mouth of a High-ranking official of Mulan Manor could the most confidential information be obtained.

"If you don't know, then you're of no use. You might as well die." Li Changfeng's lips curled into a cold, indifferent look.

Li Changfeng's face was dark, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

Just then, Li Changfeng sneered as he slowly drew the Nine Songs Sword from his back. The Sword was incomparably sharp, and a cold light flashed through the air.

Li Changfeng raised his hand, pointing the Sword in his grip toward Zhang Wu not far away.

"Big brother, what do you mean by this?" Zhang Wu's pupils constricted sharply as he gasped. "Are you really going to kill me? Can't you let me go? I've already helped you kill Zhang Chongfei!"

"Did I ask you to kill Zhang Chongfei?" Li Changfeng laughed. "What you did was completely unnecessary. Even if you hadn't killed Zhang Chongfei, that man would have died at my hands anyway."

"By killing Zhang Chongfei for me, you've actually ruined my plans!"

"Don't you think you should take responsibility for this?"

Li Changfeng's face was dark, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

At that moment, Li Changfeng took a deep breath and calmed himself down. "With Zhang Chongfei dead, everything I wanted to know is gone. Even if I kill you, it won't satisfy my anger!"

After hearing these words.

Zhang Wu's heart trembled; he was truly helpless.

If there were any other way, he wouldn't be in this situation.

"But, big brother, I had good intentions. I just wanted to kill Zhang Chongfei to do you a favor." Zhang Wu continued to explain.

In truth, Zhang Wu was also doing it for himself; he didn't want to die here for nothing.

Recalling what had just happened, Zhang Wu felt incredibly helpless.

If he hadn't returned, he might have survived. However, he had gambled his path to promotion and wealth on Zhang Chongfei.

But Zhang Chongfei had lost his life because of it!

This was a heavy blow to Zhang Wu.

Zhang Wu had no other choice, and the only thing left for him to do was to beg for mercy.

Aside from that, Zhang Wu had no other options.

"Big brother, give me a chance. Please let me go, I don't want to die yet!" Zhang Wu said with a dark expression, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.

And at this time.

If Li Changfeng still wanted to kill Zhang Wu, then Zhang Wu would only have one path left.

Zhang Wu put his hands behind his back, having already prepared himself to take action.

During his years in Mulan Manor, Zhang Wu had learned one truth: never leave your life in the hands of others.

Otherwise, the end would be miserable.

"Give you a chance? That depends on whether you're worth it." Li Changfeng's lips curled into a smirk.

And at this moment.

Li Changfeng stepped forward and stood in front of Zhang Wu.

Li Changfeng looked down at Zhang Wu with a serious expression. In truth, he had no other choice.

Only if Zhang Wu died would Li Changfeng be at ease.

After all, Zhang Wu was a clever man. If he lived, he would pose a slight threat to Li Changfeng.

Li Changfeng would not let that happen.

"Big brother, I can help you get the answers you want. I might be able to infiltrate the inner circle of Mulan Manor. Once I'm inside, I can find out what you want to know and then tell you!" Zhang Wu was still pleading. "Wouldn't that be great?"

"You'll get the information you want, and I'll get to live. It would be a wonderful thing for both of us!"

"Isn't that right?"

Zhang Wu didn't want to leave his life in someone else's hands, and he certainly didn't want to be killed just like that.

Zhang Wu wanted to control everything himself; he wanted to live well.

And that was Zhang Wu's ultimate goal.

For this purpose, Zhang Wu could do anything. His earlier action of killing Zhang Chongfei was a simple example.

"But I don't trust you. You're someone who uses any means to achieve your goals. Who knows what you would do just to survive? So, I'm sorry, I have to kill you here." Li Changfeng said with a dark face, his lips curling into a smirk.

At this point, Li Changfeng's killing intent was stirred; he was determined to deal with Zhang Wu.

Once Zhang Wu survived, he would become a threat.

If Zhang Wu returned to Mulan Manor and revealed all of Li Changfeng's movements, Mulan Manor would surely send assassins to cause trouble for him.

This was a scenario Li Changfeng did not want to see.

"Big brother, can't we talk about this? I don't want to die! I can promise you, I will never do anything to betray you! Please, believe me!" Zhang Wu's eyes lit up as he stared intently at Li Changfeng.

In truth, Zhang Wu didn't want to be killed like this; he still wanted to live.

Zhang Wu looked up, staring fixedly at Li Changfeng.

"You want to live? Not just you, even these members of the Gao Family want to live. But sometimes, living is just an unattainable luxury!" Li Changfeng said with a dark face, a cold glint flashing in his eyes.
