Capítulo 1168: Chapter 1170: A Familiar Figure
Yuwen Kangshi asked persistently, “Is it that as long as we haven’t found the Sword Soul, we can’t take action?”
Lian Chengyu pondered for a mont, then gently shook his head, “Not really, it’s just that with the Sword Soul, we’d be more confident. Besides, Chu Ge is not as simple as you think, and those people around him may seem unserious, but they’re all experts.”
Yuwen Kangshi thought of the people he had encountered at Chu Ge’s place before, and sneered internally, “Are you saying that people like Lin Dong and Lin Zhao are also experts?”
Lian Chengyu let out a light laugh and said, “You shouldn’t underestimate Lin Dong and Lin Zhao. Although they started late, since Chu Ge found them, it naturally ans they each have their own strengths. Chu Ge isn’t one to waste effort on useless endeavors.”
Yuwen Kangshi was silent for a mont, then said, “So what’s your intention now? Do we continue our collaboration or not?”
Lian Chengyu noticed Yuwen Kangshi was getting a bit impatient, and suspicion flashed in his mind. Yuwen Kangshi, in his mind, isn’t soone who would lose his calm easily. He thought he was the kind of person who wouldn’t even bat an eye if the sky fell.
But now it seed like he had beco a different person.
Yuwen Kangshi took a deep breath, trying to keep calm, and then said to Lian Chengyu, “If possible, I hope to take action tomorrow night!”
Lian Chengyu squinted his eyes, looking at him in confusion, “Tomorrow night? Why so sudden?”
“There’s no why. I just don’t want to drag it out any longer!”
Yuwen Kangshi pressed his lips tightly, his gaze fixed on the coffee table, where a determined light flickered.
“I know you all want to obtain the Sword Soul, and it isn’t sothing that can be done in a day or two, but I still hope you can get the Sword Soul quickly, or perhaps just kill the Old Master for
first!”
Lian Chengyu cast a peculiar look at Yuwen Kangshi, feeling that sothing about him seed off today, though he couldn’t put his finger on what it was.
“I understand. I’ll discuss this with my junior.”
“I’m not discussing this with you; I’m informing you!”
Yuwen Kangshi said, enunciating each word.
Lian Chengyu’s face showed a hint of displeasure, “Yuwen Kangshi, in this collaboration, it’s not for you to decide alone.”
Yuwen Kangshi realized he had gone too far with his words. He cleared his throat, “Sorry, I spoke out of line. But I sincerely hope we can act tomorrow.”
Lian Chengyu slowly leaned forward, his eyes fixated on Yuwen Kangshi, “Tell
honestly, did sothing happen?”
“…” Yuwen Kangshi remained silent.
Lian Chengyu saw that he wasn’t speaking, so he sat back, crossing his legs, and said with a smile, “If you don’t say anything, it’s fine, but we won’t act rashly.”
Looking at Lian Chengyu’s nonchalant deanor, Yuwen Kangshi sneered inwardly, pressing his lips tightly. After a mont, he finally said, “It’s nothing serious. It’s just that the Old Master isn’t considering
for the Family Head position. I’m worried that if we delay, things might change.”
“What changes?”
“He’s starting to soften toward Yuwen Kangli. Last night, he was even talking about forgiving him. Hehe, when I heard that, I knew it was ti to act!”
Lian Chengyu lazily lounged on the sofa, genuinely surprised, “The Old Master forgives soone he wanted dead? That’s not like him.”
Suddenly, Yuwen Kangshi seed to realize sothing, his eyes widening, “Unless he doesn’t believe that Yuwen Kangli poisoned him!”
If he didn’t believe that Yuwen Kangli poisoned him, then he would naturally soften toward him!
Thinking of this, Yuwen Kangshi suddenly considered going to the prison to take a look, but that thought quickly passed.
“Regardless of whether he believes it or not, the evidence provided by the police indicates Yuwen Kangli is the true culprit, doesn’t it?”
Lian Chengyu said softly, “Since that’s the case, what are you worried about?”
“Tomorrow night, I’ll create an alibi showing I’m not at the Old Mansion. You discuss how to proceed.”
Yuwen Kangshi said.
Before Lian Chengyu could respond, he stood up, “I have sothing to attend to, so I’ll be leaving first.”
Once Yuwen Kangshi left, Lian Chengyu’s face turned somber.
The underling behind him, feeling a bit indignant, said, “The Estate Owner, this Yuwen Kangshi is so arrogant!”
“Haha, he’s from a prestigious family. Who could he possibly respect? Isn’t Yuwen Kangli the sa?”
Lian Chengyu chuckled and then asked, “By the way, where’s Gao Weijie?”
“He went to the Gambling Stone Field.”
…
Inside the Gambling Stone Field.
The place was bustling as usual, and Gao Weijie’s distinctive face forced him to don a mask before entering the Gambling Stone Field.
He didn’t see Chu Ge here, only Lin Dong and the others.
“Mr. Gao, do you think the Sword Soul is here?”
The person who accompanied Gao Weijie asked curiously.
Gao Weijie frowned slightly, shaking his head gently, not quite sure himself.
But he quickly sensed sothing wasn’t quite right here.
“It shouldn’t be here!” Gao Weijie said slowly, “The spiritual energy here is too rich, with a cleansing effect on the soul. The Sword Soul wouldn’t stay in such a pure place.”
“If it’s not at the Gambling Stone Field, then it’s at the bar!”
Another person asked curiously, “Didn’t they say the Sword Soul is inseparable from Chu Ge?”
Frowning, Gao Weijie pondered for a mont, “Let’s go check the bar.”
“The bar isn’t open yet.”
“Yeah, I think the bar opens in the afternoon,”
Lin Dong noticed that Gao Weijie and his companions were standing at the staircase door, neither entering nor leaving, whispering about sothing.
Especially since one of them wore a mask, it was clear they weren’t ordinary people.
He nudged Lin Zhao with his elbow and said, “Be cautious of those three people.”
Lin Zhao also noticed them and nodded.
Lin Dong walked forward with a pleasant smile and asked Gao Weijie, “Are you here to gamble stones?”
The two underlings exchanged glances and then looked at Gao Weijie, as if waiting for him to speak.
Gao Weijie nodded lightly, “I initially ca to gamble stones, but sothing ca up, so I’ll co back so other day.”
He nodded slightly to Lin Dong, then turned to leave.
By a stroke of luck, just then, Chu Ge ca down the stairs.
With one hand in his pocket, Chu Ge glanced at Gao Weijie and then continued down the stairs.
Suddenly, he realized sothing — that figure looked so familiar!
Chu Ge quickly turned his head, but Gao Weijie’s figure was already gone from the stairs…
