In the Chai family, Chai Jingtang, who was lying on the hospital bed, was being fed soup and medicine by his wife with a spoon.
The soup was very bitter, and Chai Jingtang frowned because of the bitterness, but he had to take it. The so-called good medicine is bitter and good for the disease. In order for his ribs to recover as soon as possible, he could only endure it. The hatred for Luo Zhang in his heart was already overwhelming.
However, soon, if Chai Lingwu had not lied to him, Luo Zhang would have died in prison at this time, and his great revenge would have been avenged. However, this revenge was not avenged by him personally, so it was inevitable that he would have some regrets, which made him even more regretful. What was a bit heartbreaking was that from now on, he could no longer peek into the highest position of the Chai family, the position of the head of the family, but had to assist Chai Lingwu to reach the top as agreed.
Just when Chai Jingtang took the decoction and was about to rest for a while, there was a sound of footsteps outside the door.
The footsteps were a little noisy and chaotic. It was obvious that the visitor was in a hurry. This made Chai Jingtang, who originally wanted to rest, suddenly feel energetic.
Could it be that he was here to report the news of Luo Zhang's death?
When he thought of this, Chai Jingtang's originally painful chest no longer hurt so much. He struggled to sit up, but he screamed as soon as he moved.
Because he was so happy, he forgot that his ribs were still broken and not healed at all.
His wife heard the screams and hurriedly came to the bedside to serve her, but Chai Jingtang pushed her away and said: "Open the door, open the door quickly and see who is coming outside!"
Although the lady felt a little resentful, she did not dare to disobey Chai Jingtang's words and stood up to open the door.
Outside the house, a young man in servant's clothes was standing in front of the door panting, as if he wanted to knock on the door smoothly, but before he could knock on the door, the door opened by itself.
He saw a beautiful woman standing at the door looking at him, and the young man couldn't help but swallow his saliva.
"Laifu, what are you doing here?" The lady seemed to know this young man. She was not impatient at all when he looked at her unscrupulously, but instead gave him a wink.
The young man's eyes widened as he looked at this seductively, and he kept swallowing his saliva.
But at this moment, Chai Jingtang's voice came out from inside the house, "Who, who is at the door?"
This sound woke the young man up from his sweet dream, and he quickly lowered his head. The lady said to the room with a smile on her face: "It's Laifu, Laifu is here to find you!"
Knowing that the person coming was Laifu, Chai Jingtang's eyes brightened even more, and he couldn't wait to rush out the door and said: "Hurry up and ask Laifu to come in and talk!"
When Laifu heard Chai Jingtang calling him, he hurriedly walked into the house. Just as he and his wife passed each other, a soft and smooth hand grabbed his hand and squeezed it. A wink came over again.
This scene was so frightening that Laifu almost fell down, but when he saw the flirtatious look, Laifu's eyes widened, as if he couldn't believe it, but the lady raised a finger and put it to her mouth, saying, He made a silent gesture and pointed inside.
Laifu nodded quickly and walked inside, followed closely by his wife.
Chai Jingtang, who was lying on the hospital bed, was naturally unaware of the scene at the door.
Seeing Laifu, Chai Jingtang took a few deep breaths, tried to calm himself down, and then asked: "I asked you to inquire about Luo Zhang's situation. Is there any news? Has the Luo Mansion hung up white cloth and white sails?"
Laifu bowed slightly and said: "Young Master Jingtang, I have been in Luo Mansion for a whole day and I haven't seen any white sails hanging in Luo Mansion, but..."
"It's nothing, tell me quickly!" Chai Jingtang said a little irritated for no reason when he learned that Luo Mansion didn't have any white sails.
"On the contrary, I stayed in Luo Mansion for a day, and I saw Luo Zhang being sent back by the Secret Service!" As Laifu spoke, there was a trace of resentment in his eyes, but he was not discovered because he lowered his head.
"What did you say? Say it again!!!" Chai Jingtang was so excited that his voice couldn't help but grow louder, and he touched his ribs again. The pain made him break into a cold sweat, but he didn't care about it, but stared at it with bright eyes. Laifu was beside the bed, wanting to confirm whether what he said was true.
Laifu lowered his head with a smile on his lips, as if Chai Jingtang was unhappy, but he was very happy.
After hearing Chai Jingtang's question, Laifu hurriedly said: "I looked several times and confirmed that it was Luo Zhang who returned to Luo Mansion. Not only did I see it, but Master Lingwu's entourage also saw it."
"Not dead? Then Luo Zhang is not dead? He was even sent back by people from the Secret Service!"
"How is this possible!!! Chai Lingwu told me that he would definitely kill Luo Zhang, but why isn't Luo Zhang dead? Why isn't he dead yet!!!"
"Chai Lingwu, you lied to me, you actually lied to me, and you still want me to help you? Unless Luo Zhang is dead, I will never help you!"
In the east wing of Chai Mansion, Chai Lingwu was painting on the table with a brush in his hand. An ink landscape painting appeared on the paper with just a few strokes, as if the landscape had been integrated into the painting, which was extremely lifelike.
But just when he was about to paint the last scene, a short and thin old man in black came in and interrupted Chai Lingwu's painting. Even in a moment of thought, he actually made the wrong last stroke. Ling Chai Lingwu felt very unhappy. He was about to curse, but he saw that the person coming was actually his housekeeper.
Seemingly thinking of what he had assigned to Butler Ma, Chai Lingwu put down his pen, wiped his hands and went to sit on the short table on the right, poured himself a glass of water, took a sip, then looked up at Butler Ma and said: "How is things going? Is Luo Zhang dead? The Luo family has begun a funeral?"
Chai Lingwu was very confident about sending someone to assassinate Luo Zhang. You must know that that person was his confidant, and his martial arts was as high as the first level of the True Yuan Realm. Chai Lingwu didn't think anything would happen if he took action.
But the man didn't come back yesterday, which made Chai Lingwu a little confused, but he didn't care. After all, he went to the prison to kill people last night. If he was discovered, he would definitely be hunted down. Maybe he was hiding from the pursuers somewhere at this time.
When the killer didn't come back and he didn't know what happened, Chai Lingwu ordered people to stay at Luo's house. If something happened to Luo Zhang, Luo Mansion would definitely mourn and hang up a white cloth. If this happened, it would mean that the killer was successful and Luo Zhang was dead.
Once Luo Zhang dies, his promise to Chai Jingtang will be completed, and what he will get is Chai Jingtang's support and the possibility of giving up the fight for the position of the head of the family.
Just when he was thinking about how to use Chai Jingtang's role, the old man on the side bowed and replied: "The Luo family did not hold a funeral, nor did they hang out white sails, but..."
"There was no funeral, and no white sails were hung? What is that? Tell me quickly!" Chai Lingwu raised his head and glared at the old man.
The old man's body trembled, and he bent even lower and said, "It's that Luo Zhang was not dead at all. Not only was he not dead, but he was sent home alive and kicking by the people from the Secret Service! This is what I saw with my own eyes. There will be a holiday!”
"What!" Chai Lingwu stood up in surprise, and the short table in front of him was knocked over by him. This incident really shocked him!
"Are you sure Luo Zhang is not dead?" Chai Lingwu still seemed a little unbelievable and asked again.
"I'm sure, Luo Zhang is really not dead. Not only did I see it, Chai Jingtang's servant seemed to be in front of the Luo Mansion. He also saw it!" the old man replied hurriedly.
"Not dead? How could he not be dead? This is impossible!"
"Old Qian is a strong man on the first level of the True Yuan Realm. How could he miss? Even if the City Guards Department is heavily guarded, he can still get in. Besides, the City Guards Department has always been lax about the guards of the prison, so it is even more impossible for him to miss it!"
"Even if you miss, you should come back. Why hasn't Lao Qian come back yet? Instead, Na Luo Zhang has gone home!"
"Something's wrong, something's very wrong. Luo Zhang is fine. That old man..."
As if he thought of something, Chai Lingwu's face suddenly turned ugly. It was obvious that either the killer he sent was dead and it was impossible for the dead person to come back, or the killer he sent was caught. He was tortured and asked to tell the truth about the person behind the scenes.
No matter what the situation is, it is not good news for him, and the worst news is that the old money has been caught.
Based on what the housekeeper just told him, the Secret Service personally escorted Luo Zhang home.
Where is the Secret Service? Those are His Majesty's eagle claws, and they are working for His Majesty. They escorted Luo Zhang home. The most likely possibility is that Lao Qian failed in his mission and was caught by the Secret Service!
If the City Defense Department captures Lao Qian, he is not too worried. He knows many people in the City Defense Department. As long as the money is in place and the channels are clear, Lao Qian can still be recovered. But if he is taken away by people from the Secret Intelligence Department, with the help of Lao Qian will definitely not be able to withstand their torture methods. If he is handed over at that time, he will probably be imprisoned, let alone competing for the position of head of the family!
The more he thought about Chai Lingwu, the more frightened he became, and cold sweat broke out from his back!
