Li Chonglou was unsure if these people were from Master Fu's side and dared not act rashly.
Judging by the condition of the two bodyguards he had seen, Master Fu's influence was likely on par with some major families, at least not inferior to the Sixteen Great Families!
People of this caliber might have already encountered cultivators. If he revealed any clues, he risked exposure.
He couldn't forget that he was still a man without an identity. A simple investigation could derail his plans.
So, Li Chonglou first took Ah Dong and the other person for a stroll around Feng Town, then returned to the vicinity of the guesthouse.
When he used his Heavenly Eye's clairvoyance, his pupils suddenly constricted.
"Brother Hua Dong, what's wrong? Your complexion looks a bit strange?"
Still a hundred meters away from the guesthouse, the two could not see anything.
But in Li Chonglou's eyes, all the men in black he had just seen were dead!
They were not Master Fu's people!
Almost instantly, Li Chonglou guessed the whole story. Besides Master Fu, the only people he had offended here were Liu Rui from Liu Fang and the local bully Feng Du.
If it was the former, no matter how strong he was, his influence should be confined to Liu Fang. Without a doubt, these mysterious people following him were most likely that fat guy Feng Du.
A dragon does not suppress a local snake. Realizing this situation, Li Chonglou immediately formed the intention to retreat.
"We're leaving."
Li Chonglou turned around immediately.
Ah Dong and the other exchanged glances.
"Where are we going?"
"What about our mission? Wasn't it said that the person is around here?"
According to the clues they had obtained earlier, the real culprit might leave China after fencing the antiques.
This meant that time was running out for them. If they couldn't find the person within these one or two days, it meant the mission might fail!
The two had followed Sister Feng for so many years, and this was their first time doing such a job. Therefore, both Ah Dong and Ah Hai wanted to do it perfectly and not disappoint Sister Feng.
Moreover, after these few days, the two were genuinely impressed by Li Chonglou's abilities, especially tonight when even people from the Beijing Antique Association had fallen into his hands!
Wasn't this kind of talent precisely what Sister Feng needed the most?
Little did they know, what Sister Feng needed had long been quietly nestled in Li Chonglou's embrace.
"I suspect there's been a mistake in some part of our planning. Let's go back to Beijing to re-evaluate. Besides, it's not safe here."
Mistake?
Not safe?
The two were bewildered but quickly guessed something.
Li Chonglou had not been with them the entire night. Something might have happened during the two hours he left!
Seeing that Li Chonglou had no intention of explaining, they could only follow behind him silently.
"Huh? Where did they go? Weren't they just ahead?"
The black-clad men who were following were even more confused. This was clearly their territory, and to exaggerate, they could walk here with their eyes closed!
And then, three living people just disappeared?
"Quick, call the young master!"
At the same time, Feng Du, who was still having a good time in his suite, received two phone calls.
One was from the follow-up team; all the people he sent to capture Yu Xianxian alive were dead!
Before Feng Du could process this news, he received another call about losing track of Li Chonglou.
His originally gloomy expression instantly turned ashen.
*Crack!*
The innocent beauty below was slapped. Feng Du, without even pulling up his pants, smashed his phone into pieces.
"Young Master!"
The bodyguards outside, hearing the commotion, immediately rushed in.
"Get out!"
Their faces changed, and they quickly retreated.
*Bang.*
After the room door was tightly shut, the two bodyguards couldn't help but whisper among themselves.
"Could it be that the young master's impotence has relapsed? Wasn't he cured by the divine doctor before?"
"Did you see it just now? Even with such a beautiful woman, he couldn't get an erection. I think he encountered those quack doctors again."
"Alas, if the Feng family has no heir, they will probably be annexed by the Liu family."
"Hush, keep your voices down. If anyone hears us, no one will fare well!"
Who would have thought that the heir of the prestigious local snake would be a person who could not produce offspring?
Of course, whether it was a misunderstanding or not, no one knew.
At this time, Li Chonglou, along with Ah Dong and the other, had already climbed over walls and walked through alleys, leaving Feng Town.
All the way, they chose the secluded paths, which made the two feel somewhat dissatisfied.
"Brother Hua Dong, do we need to be so cautious? Haven't we already left Feng Town?"
Li Chonglou simply replied, "What, I can handle it, but you can't stand it?"
The three weaved through the weeds in the mountains, their clothes already torn in places by the thick grass. Although the two were considered elite bodyguards, they were not all-round developed.
At least, the jungle presented a significant challenge for them.
However, after Li Chonglou said that, the fighting spirit of the two instantly surged.
"What are you talking about! Who says we can't stand it? I can walk with you until dawn!"
"Back in the day, I didn't sleep for three days and three nights, following Sister Feng to hunt down an enemy, and in the end, I was the one who beheaded him! You're saying this small place is unbearable? Ridiculous!"
Li Chonglou didn't care if they were telling the truth or not, he just smiled and continued to march forward silently.
The two then remained silent, following closely behind Li Chonglou until they crossed two mountain ridges and arrived at another small town.
Because it was close to the city, the transportation in this town was significantly better than in Feng Town. The three successfully got into a ride-hailing car in about half an hour.
The driver was a young girl.
"Uh, how about I drive?"
To be honest, even Li Chonglou was somewhat surprised when he saw the driver.
He had taken many taxis and ride-hailing cars, and he occasionally encountered female drivers, but they were usually in their thirties or forties.
However, the girl in front of him looked at most twenty years old, possibly even in her early twenties!
Her attire and style were very fashionable. In short, if you encountered her on the roadside, you would never associate her with a ride-hailing driver.
Yet, the car she drove was a genuine new model for ride-hailing, a model specifically launched by the government last year for ride-hailing services.
However, the girl seemed to perceive Ah Dong's suggestion as a slight.
"If you want to ride, ride. If not, go to the next one!"
The girl retorted unceremoniously. Ah Dong, knowing he was in the wrong, scratched his head and stopped speaking.
However, as the three opened the car door, they were instantly met with the smell of alcohol.
It wasn't the pungent smell of beer or strong liquor, but a faint, fragrant scent of alcohol.
Ah Dong's expression changed instantly, but before he could speak, he heard the girl say, "Hurry up and get in. The previous passengers vomited in my car. After I drop you off, I have to rush to the car wash."
Damn it, how disgusting!
The three froze in their movements.
