They didn’t believe it at first.
He was so weak, so what did he use to kill One-eye. Especially since that thing was still with Yang Fei, that scheming and vicious woman wouldn’t die so easily.
So everything was a smoke bomb.
“Yes, it is Martial Path Mountain. There is a mountain not far from Jiang City known as Martial Path Mountain. Let me tell you; there are six people there, only two of them can fight. The other four aren’t a problem.”
Chen Shengyao said everything he knew.
He understood
that he was the scapegoat.
He didn’t even do anything, but as he was worried that people would misunderstand due to his reputation, he suffered from so much torture.
Prince Xiao Qi, you were the mastermind that hurt me.
If not Xiao Qi telling the people to find him, he wouldn’t be surrounded by them. In the end, he wouldn’t find Martial Path Mountain and spent 48 thousand to solve this matter.
He did say that he didn’t like this fake reputation.
Now, this fake reputation hurt him.
“Who said he was stubborn?”
The black-robed men felt embarrassed.
All of them said that he was such a rare stubborn person.
Stubborn, my ass.
They didn’t make things clear such that he didn’t know how to reply. So he definitely said that he didn’t know.
The more he said he didn’t know, the angrier they got, and the more they tortured him.
Now they understood that they were just asking for problems
This person replied so fluently before they even asked him about Martial Path Mountain he told them everything he knew about it.
How many of them, how many could fight, he said it really clearly.
He was really so afraid of dying. They had seen so many of such people.
In the past, when they did missions and faced such people, they would be tightly lipped at the start, and when they were tortured, they would cry out for mercy. They would say anything, even what kind of sickness they had faced in the past.
At that moment.
Chen Shengyao coiled up, like a raped girl shivering as he looked at the four of them.
After which, a word from the black-robed man shocked him, that his face turned white.
“Since that is the case, he doesn’t have any value anymore. Martial Path Mountain is next.”
“En, Martial Path Mountain, who knew that such a sect dares to steal from us Nine Bug Gang.”
“Deal with him, let him disappear from the world.”
…
Chen Shengyao panicked. They wanted to kill him and make him disappear from the world. That means that even his corpse couldn’t be found.
No, definitely not.
He had to live; he couldn’t die.
“Can I make a suggestion?” Chen Shengyao slowly raised his hands; he didn’t dare to be too unrestrained. He wanted to cry. These people were too dangerous, no matter what he was a top Young Master of Jiang City, an aristocratic family Young Master. Couldn’t they just give him face, saying to kill him just like that, didn’t they consider his feelings?
“What suggestion?” The black-robed man asked. Their goal was to find the Gang’s treasure. As for the process, it didn’t matter. Only the end mattered.
To survive, Chen Shengyao started to lie.
He had seen that money didn’t attract these people, maybe to them, finding that thing was the most important.
“I have a good relationship with the Martial Path Mountain Sect Leader; he is really strong. To reduce problems, you can tie me up; let him take that thing to trade with you.”
“Don’t think I am kidding, I am serious. Our Chen Family invested in Martial Path Mountain because that Sect Leader has a close relationship with us.”
Chen Shengyao started to brag.
He just hoped they wouldn’t hurt him.
He wanted to live.
Was that wrong?
No.
“Is what you are saying true?” The black-robed man asked.
“Definitely, I swear to the Heavens that I am not lying.” Chen Shengyao went against his conscience; everything he said was fake.
But if it wasn’t then, he would even lose his life.
Now the only person that could save him was Lin Fan.
The black-robed men talked among themselves.
They just wanted to complete the mission. If they could rely on that person to get the thing back, naturally, they would like to.
Who knew what they were talking about.
One of them opened Chen Shengyao’s mouth and fed him a bug.
“Little kid, if you dare lie to us, you are dead. When we get the thing, we will help kill this poisonous bug, or you will melt and die.”
“Damn.”
The moment Chen Shengyao heard that his eyes rolled and he fainted.
Why would there be such a vicious person?
How unlucky was he for so many bad things to happen to him.
Next day.
“Young Master.” Li Cong shouted for Young Master to wake up as usual. However, today was a little weird, he shouted so long, but there was no movement at all.
“Weird, in the past Young Master should have woken up already.”
Li Cong was curious; he pushed open the door without caring and noticed that there was no one inside.
“Young Master…”
Li Cong walked out of the room and searched all around.
Where did the Young Master go? Based on his habits, he wouldn’t head out alone and would only wake up when people served him.
What!
He searched outside.
“Li Cong, what are you doing?” Seeing Li Cong look around at a loss, Manager You asked curiously.
“Young Master is gone.” Li Cong exclaimed. He was stunned, something was wrong, something was really wrong. Young Master wouldn’t disappear for no reason and wouldn’t head out alone.
No matter where he went,
He would at least bring either Manager You or him.
“Young Master is gone? What are you saying?” Manager You stared, he entered the room and noticed Young Master was really not there.
They looked at one another, heading to ask the guards if Young Master headed out or not. The reply was that they didn’t see his head out.
They instantly felt that things weren’t right.
Something definitely happened.
“Li Cong brings the people in the manor to search everywhere inside. If we still can’t find him, then search every corner of the city to find him.” Young Master said solemnly.
Young Master disappeared in the manor.
That was such a huge matter.
Old Master had just died, and if something happened to the Young Master, then Chen Family was really finished.
Li Cong nodded, gathering people to search the manor. He even searched the toilet, using wooden sticks to stir a little.
Don’t think that he was crazy.
If Young Master went to the toilet at night and fell in?
Everything he did was to make sure that he didn’t miss anything at all.
All the way till the afternoon.
They hadn’t found any traces of Chen Shengyao.
This made Li Cong and Manager You tremble in fear; they felt a cold sweat on their bodies. Where did Young Master go?
They had searched the city, even the brothel he liked to go. They even searched Old Master’s grave, which was the least probable place he would be at.
“Now what, we still can’t find Young Master. Was he kidnapped?” Li Cong said.
Manager You’s face was dark and sunken, and he didn’t reply.
That might be possible.
“Continue to search; I will go ask.” Manager You asked.
Till now, they hadn’t found Young Master, which meant the chances of him being kidnapped was high.
Young Master didn’t fear anything in Jiang City, and his name was being cleared so no one should hate him.
Chen Family had a huge business, so the chances of him being kidnapped were high.
Martial Path Mountain.
Lin Fan waited for the setting sun to arrive. He looked at it and drank tea. This was the most leisure thing in life.
“Sect Leader Lin…”
Manager You ran up from the foot of the mountain. He panted, he was so tired his face was covered in sweat.
Why did Martial Path Mountain have so many steps, it was just so hard to climb.
Lin Fan took a look. It was the Chen Family Manager You; he wasn’t that interested.
How weird.
Why did Chen Family people keep running towards his place?
Like they had a good relationship with one another.
Lin Fan drank tea and asked leisurely, “So it is Manager You, what is up?”
“Sect Leader Lin, my Young Master, has disappeared.” Manager You panted as he said.
“What does that have to do with me? I didn’t make him disappear, or are you preparing to blame this on me?” Lin Fan asked.
Manager You waved his hands, “No, I didn’t mean that. I wanted to ask Sect Leader Lin to help search for him.”
Lin Fan smiled, “Manager You, your words are interesting. I am a sect, not a missing person department. You should search for him yourself.”
“Sect Leader Lin, Young Master gave you 48 thousand to help protect Jiang City. Now that he is gone don’t…” Before Manager You finished, Lin Fan interrupted him.
“Wait, did you get it wrong. I will definitely protect, but protection means that if someone is killed or if people cause trouble, Martial Path Mountain won’t stand by. But finding someone is out of that range. Based on what you said, if people disappeared in Jiang City, then I would help to find him?” Lin Fan said.
He was helpless.
What was going on?
Of course.
He knew that Chen Shengyao was kidnapped. Actually, this was considered a part of the duty.
What a waste.
The target was Chen Family; their conflict wasn’t so easily solved. Extort, he had to extort them.
Manager You were speechless; he actually didn’t know what to reply.
Sect Leader Lin was right.
“Forget it; you seem worried about him. It is rare to have a good employee, I will give you a face, give me 20 thousand, and I will help you find him. The changes in finding is a little bigger.” Lin Fan said.
“What? Why not go rob.” When Manager You heard that, he exploded.
Oh my god.
Twenty thousand silver, he even dared to say such a large amount.
Lin Fan said, “Then there is nothing I can do. We have so many people on Martial Path Mountain that need to eat; we can’t help you.”
Manager You was about to scold Lin Fan to death.
They just had a little conflict in the past where Young Master sent people from Wolf Brigade to wipe Martial Path Mountain out. That was in the past, so why did he still remember it.
But they had mobilized so many people and searched for morning and still didn’t achieve anything.
If they still couldn’t find him, then the outcome was catastrophic.
“Okay, 20 thousand silver it is. Please help me find him.” Manager You said.
Lin Fan nodded, “Don’t worry, I will do my best. Head back; I will prepare.”
Manager You cupped his fists and left hurriedly.
When he left.
Lin Fan took out the paper he was sitting on.
“No wonder. What did your kidnapping of Chen Shengyao have to do with me, even asking me to take things to redeem him? Why do you say like I have a good relationship with him?”
“What thing was that? Could he make it clear?”
This note was sent by a commoner.
When he saw the details, he felt like it was a hoax.
It had nothing to do with him.
He was prepared not to go.
Now that he had the 20 thousand, it was best if he went to take a look.
However, it was dangerous to head over at night.
What if the Yin Demons were to come out?
“Gou’zi, call Zhang Tianshan.” Lin Fan knew that Zhang Tianshan had methods to go against the Yin Demon. He didn’t seek to save someone, just to make preparations in case.
If he really faced the Yin Demon, it was best if he could just escape.
If Chen Shengyao suffered, if he carried back his corpse, it would still be considered completing the mission.
