Chapter 107 A clean and efficient action was taken directly.

After a fierce battle, everything has settled down.

The alleyway was filled with a strong stench of blood.

Su Guang leaned against the brick wall, panting for a long time before he could barely catch his breath.

His wounds were still bleeding, and the sword wound on his arm was so deep that the bone was visible. With each heartbeat, he felt waves of burning pain.

Su Guang took a deep breath, staggered to his feet while supporting himself against the wall, and moved step by step to the man who was not quite dead yet.

The man had been stabbed in the abdomen, his intestines spilling out onto the ground. He was slumped against the wall, making faint noises, barely breathing.

Su Guang squatted down, grabbed the other person's collar, and yanked that pale face right in front of him.

"Who are you?" His words were ruthless and carried a chilling murderous intent.

"We are—the Black Tiger Gang—"

"Who sent you?"

The man's lips moved for a long time before he finally managed to squeeze out a few words: "Yes, it was ordered by Young Master Lu Cong of the Lu family."

After saying that, his face contorted in pain, and his body curled up into a ball.

Su Guang looked down.

This person's liver, gallbladder, and intestines were all pierced; even if they were stuffed back in, he wouldn't survive.

His gaze sharpened, and he stopped asking questions, loosening the other person's collar.

Then, he quickly searched the man's body and found half a tael of silver. He then turned around and searched the rest of the corpses as well, finding a total of two or three taels of silver, which he stuffed into his pocket.

Lu Cong.

This is Master Mingxin's adopted son, a member of the Lu family who was adopted into the lineage of the Second Master.

Now that Lu Cong has already traced his involvement to him, there's likely more to come.

Without further hesitation, Su Guang tore off a piece of his sleeve and tightened the bandage around the still-bleeding wound on his arm.

After doing all this, he leaned against the wall to get up, quickly left the alley, and hurried towards the Jingguo Mansion.

No sooner had he left than some of the villagers hiding at the alley entrance peered out. Seeing that there were no living people left in the alley, a few of the bolder ones tentatively stepped forward and kicked the corpses on the ground.

Seeing no reaction, they grew bolder and stripped the corpse of all its clothes and belongings.

Seeing this, the other bolder individuals also rushed forward, scrambling to grab it.

The alley was filled with the sounds of a noisy argument.

About half an hour later, Su Guang stumbled and staggered to the back gate of Jingguo Mansion.

He raised his hand and knocked on the door.

Footsteps sounded from inside the door. The door was pulled open a crack, and upon seeing Su Guang covered in blood, the man's expression changed drastically: "Who are you? This is the Jingguo Mansion! Don't cause trouble here!"

"I am—an old acquaintance of Chen Ye, a retainer of Chen." Su Guang said rapidly, his face pale. "Please inform him that something terrible has happened at his home, it's extremely urgent!"

The doorman didn't know much about Su Guang's background, but seeing that the other party looked like something serious had happened, he didn't dare to stop him and said, "You wait here."

After saying that, he turned around and went to report.

A moment later, Chen Ye arrived after hearing the news.

When he saw Su Guang covered in blood, a look of astonishment flashed in his eyes as he asked, "What... what happened?"

Su Guang straightened up against the wall and said in a low voice, "I was being watched when I went out today."

Without asking any further questions, Chen Ye reached out and took his arm, pulling him to a corner outside the door.

Su Guang solemnly said, "Lu Cong. He's found out about me."

Chen Ye glanced at Su Guang's wounds, his expression immediately darkening. He said, "Go back and recover. You don't need to worry about these things anymore. Heal your wounds. Leave the rest to me."

Su Guang raised his head, about to say something, but Chen Ye stopped him by raising his hand.

"This place is not safe to stay any longer; you should go back as soon as possible."

"it is good."

Seeing the situation, Su Guang said nothing more and silently turned and left.

Chen Ye watched Su Guangyuan's departing figure, his face turning icy cold.

I didn't go looking for trouble with you, but instead you came to my door to cause me trouble.

It seems some people are really tired of living.

Chen Ye immediately returned to his residence, finished his work as usual, changed into ordinary clothes, and left Jingguo Mansion.

He had already investigated Lu Cong thoroughly beforehand.

Although he was adopted into the Lu family, due to his lowly status and lack of support within the Lu family, he did not live in the Thai Duke's Mansion in the capital, but instead bought a separate courtyard in the city.

This gave him the opportunity to make his move.

Anpingli.

Located in the east of the city, this area is mostly filled with shops selling mountain products, leather goods, pottery, and lacquerware.

The market has already closed, and most shops and stalls are closed, making the place look particularly deserted.

Chen Ye walked along the street, head down, covering most of his face below his nose with a cloth.

After turning two corners, we arrived at a small courtyard.

The courtyard gate was tightly closed.

Chen Ye didn't stop walking, pretending to pass by the door.

As he walked, he used his keen senses to explore the interior.

The sound of a man and a woman arguing could be heard from the courtyard. Their voices were not loud, but their tone was intense, and occasionally there were sounds of things being thrown.

After a while, a woman angrily opened the door, walked out, and left without looking back.

When she left, the courtyard gate wasn't closed; it was just half-closed there.

Chen Ye walked to the door, pushed it open, and stepped into the courtyard.

The courtyard wasn't big, and a few half-dry clothes were drying there.

The ground was a mess, as if a fight had just taken place.

Lu Cong was bending over, looking exhausted, as he tidied up.

"Are you Lu Cong?"

Seeing that Chen Ye was an unfamiliar face, with many parts of his face covered, Lu Cong couldn't recognize him and asked in confusion, "You are—"

Chen Ye confirmed it was the other person, smiled slightly, and walked straight over.

Lu Cong thought it was an old friend and wanted to say something more, but suddenly a golden light slammed into his face.

From questioning to taking action, it was only a moment.

There are no frills, only the purest power.

That golden light was like a thousand-pound iron hammer falling from a great height, impossible to withstand.

boom.

A dull, loud bang echoed through the courtyard.

Under the golden light, Lu Cong was thrown backward like a kite with a broken string, crashing heavily into the wall along with his chair.

The wooden chair shattered instantly.

Lu Cong, who had been lying on the wall, slid to the ground like mud and remained motionless.

Chen Ye has now undergone eight transformations, and his full-force strike weighs over 1,500 jin.

Lu Cong took the blow head-on, his entire chest caved in, and he couldn't even let out a scream as he choked on his breath.

Chen Ye stood there with his hands clasped, glancing down at Lu Cong, who was now motionless on the ground, his face expressionless.

Then, without saying a word, he walked out of the courtyard, closed the half-open wooden door behind him, and gently shut it.

On the street, he lowered his head and quickly disappeared into the alleyway along the way he had come.
