808: Chapter 768: Night Robber 808: Chapter 768: Night Robber Gu Xiaorou sighed helplessly, “If only we were in Myriad Stars City, Dongfang Cheng has an absolute position, and everyone from the Dongfang family would listen to us and support us.”
“Here, just a Dongfang Lian alone would challenge him and simply does not obey him.”
Lu Chuan helplessly shrugged his shoulders, “There’s nothing we can do, don’t bother about those things anymore, go back and continue your cultivation or rest.”
“Alright.”
The three returned to the courtyard, just as Lu Chuan saw Li Xunying’s figure.
He also saw Lu Chuan and quickly walked over.
“Li Xunying, have you discovered anything?”
“Young Master Lu, last night many people took advantage of the darkness to act covertly, their movents were very hidden and they were extrely cautious, I didn’t dare to follow too closely,”
Lu Chuan patted his shoulder and said, “Well done, now tell , any other situations?”
“Those people sneaked into various households’ courtyards, what they did there, I do not know.”
“However, in the middle of the night, there was a household where screams and shrieks arose, waking everyone in the courtyard, and they seed to be shouting that soone was missing.”
Lu Chuan nodded slightly, “Did you see what these people looked like when they returned?”
“It was too dark, I could only make out their silhouettes.
They were carrying sacks and ran toward the direction of the Inner City.”
After pondering for a mont, Lu Chuan said, “It seems that Wan Changdong is quite anxious to act so quickly, could he be afraid of ?”
“Indeed, a household realized that night that soone had broken in and abducted soone, it seems this matter should be spread now.”
“It seems so, now there are not a few in the city discussing this matter, many people no longer dare let their children play outside, they are all kept at ho.”
Lu Chuan patted Li Xunying on the shoulder and said, “Good, continue to monitor the situation, keep an eye on the Inner City, and if they have a convoy moving out, co and notify .”
“Are you afraid they will transport soone out?”
“Correct, they would not dare to act in the Inner City, they must find a secluded environnt outside.”
“I understand, I’ll see to it right away.”
Lu Chuan called him back, then asked, “Is there any influence from the Nangong family in the city?”
Li Xunying turned back, looked at Lu Chuan, “There is, but it’s not large, they are engaged in procurent business here, not operating any other business.”
Lu Chuan waved him off, “Go ahead, if you encounter soone from the Nangong family, I will help you inquire about this matter.”
Li Xunying nodded and bowed, then swiftly turned and left the courtyard.
“Wan Changdong is indeed very quick, what do you plan to do?
If you want to stop that guy from breaking through the Realm, we need to rescue the person first.”
Lu Chuan shrugged his shoulders, “We’ll see what happens, let’s act when there’s a chance.”
…
anwhile, in the direction of the Inner City gate, a carriage arrived and docked to the side.
A middle-aged man dressed in blue regal attire stepped down from the carriage.
He quickly walked towards the gate.
“Gentlen, could you please tell the Honorable City Lord that I, Xu Zhihua, am waiting outside for him?
I have a major case to report, and I hope the Honorable City Lord would grant an audience.”
The guard waved his hand dismissively and said, “Hurry up and go, don’t bother , the City Lord isn’t seeing anyone today, he’s busy.”
“Why?
I… I just gifted him a large present before, and during the conscription, our Xu family also provided a hundred n.”
“I, Xu Zhihua, have always supported the City Lord’s endeavors, go tell him that, he will definitely see .”
“What do you need him for?”
“It’s like this, my daughter is missing, she’s not even ten years old, the whole family is as anxious as ants on a hot pan!”
“Please make a trip into the Inner City for , and tell the Honorable City Lord, he will definitely co out to see .”
“Hurry up and leave, the City Lord is very busy today, doesn’t have ti to see anyone!
Do I need to say it twice?”
Xu Zhihua stood still, at a loss for what to do.
“Then… should I co another day?”
“Co another day, my ass.
Don’t bother our City Lord for the next month!”
Xu Zhihua took a deep breath, shaking his head helplessly.
“When it matters most, it seems I can only rely on myself…”
Upon hearing this, the Guard imdiately raised his spear at Xu Zhihua, shouting, “What did you just say?”
Xu Zhihua quickly covered his head with his hands, “I didn’t say anything!”
“Did your comnt an to imply that our City Lord is unreliable?
Is that it?”
“That’s a misunderstanding; I never ant such a thing!”
“Bullshit, you think I can’t hear what you’re implying?
You old fool, daring to complain about our City Lord, do you wish to die?
Isn’t this vast Forest City guarded by us?
If it weren’t for our City Lord, do you think you would live in peace?”
The Guard shouted angrily, teeth clenched.
Xu Zhihua half-knelt down, nervously swallowing his saliva.
“You misunderstood, I misspoke by accident, I definitely did not an that.”
“Get lost, and don’t ever disturb our City Lord’s peace again!”
Upon hearing this, Xu Zhihua, like grabbing a lifeline, hurriedly got up and ran towards his carriage.
After getting on the carriage, he finally let out a breath of relief, still feeling the aftereffects.
“My lord, why is it like this?
Why would a re city gate guard be so arrogant?”
“No choice, it must be that the City Lord has instructed him to prevent anyone from entering.”
“Then what should we do?
Who else can help us find our daughter?”
The beautiful woman sitting next to Xu Zhihua asked, tears in her eyes.
“Go… go…”
“Let’s go to the Dongfang Residence and discuss this matter with them, see if there’s any possibility.”
“The Dongfang family?
How could they help us?
They won’t assist us.”
“Then who do you think will help?
The Lu family?
Or the City Lord?”
“Then… let’s just try our luck.”
The carriage turned around and headed toward the Dongfang Residence.
Soon, the carriage stopped at the entrance of the Dongfang Residence.
Xu Zhihua hurriedly got out of the carriage, his previous gloom replaced by a radiant smile.
He walked briskly up to the guard at the entrance of the Dongfang Residence, “I’m here to see the Manor Master of the Dongfang Residence, is he available now?”
“I’ll go in and ask, since you are the Family Head of the Xu family, our Manor Master will likely et with you.”
Subsequently, the Guard went inside.
Xu Zhihua sighed with relief and began to wait anxiously at the entrance.
After a short while, Dongfang Changzhi ca out and approached Xu Zhihua.
“Xu Zhihua, it’s been a long ti; you haven’t sought out for a catch-up for ages.
What brought you here today?”
“Brother Changzhi, please don’t bla ; I’ve been really busy lately.
I’m here to seek your help with a matter.”
“Go ahead, I’ll help as much as I can.”
“It’s like this, last night, my daughter was abducted by a man in black, and despite sending people out, she couldn’t be found anywhere.”
“Helplessly, we thought to seek help from the City Lord, since he oversees the security within the city.”
“But the Inner City gates are tightly shut, and the City Lord is not seeing anyone.
Hence, I have co here, hoping that the Dongfang family could assist, to help retrieve my precious daughter.”
Upon hearing this, Dongfang Changzhi fell into deep thought.
