Li Chonglou never expected that the security guard by the bridge would be someone from the family head's side.
After the two left Fourth Master's residence, Ning Qiu escorted them to the main road outside, where they were to proceed on their own.
During this time, Li Chonglou had been worried about encountering patrols.
"You think we don't know what you've done? The patrols are Third Master's men. You know Yu Qing and his wife, so there won't be any problems."
Their intelligence was quite good, but.
Li Chonglou said with a wry smile, "Then you haven't found out that I'm at odds with Third Master's eldest son?"
Ning Qiu rolled her eyes slightly, "With your strength, are you afraid of these ordinary people?"
Only then did Li Chonglou fall silent.
With her assurance, he felt relieved. If the other party were to cause trouble, he wouldn't have any reservations.
Well, he hadn't had any reservations even when he acted before.
The two walked on the wide avenue. The evergreens lining the sides made the surroundings seem unusually desolate.
Within a family of eight great clans, feeling desolate was itself an absurd notion.
Yue Hai suddenly asked, "Brother Li, so we're joining the family head's faction now?"
Although he hadn't heard the detailed plan, he had guessed some of it, especially from the information he'd gotten from Ning Qiu. It wasn't hard to infer that Li Chonglou was choosing which faction to join.
The Yu family was in chaos, something everyone could clearly sense upon entering.
Li Chonglou nodded, "But it's not about joining; we're just cooperating with them. Also, keep a close eye on those few people from the Yu family when the time comes. If possible, don't leave them alive."
Upon hearing this, Yue Hai was startled.
"Brother Li, are we going for the kill? Should we call Chen Pao and the others?"
Yue Hai was both surprised and pleased. Li Chonglou wasn't surprised by this reaction, as the guy was a natural brawler.
"Not yet. Let's see how things unfold. If the opportunity arises, this might be a good chance."
A sharp glint flashed in Li Chonglou's eyes. He hadn't had these thoughts initially, but Ning Qiu's reaction made him realize something.
The current Yu family no longer cared about family honor! Whoever could help them solidify their position was their friend!
For Li Chonglou, this was precisely an excellent opportunity, a prime chance to win over the Yu family!
However, the reason for killing the previous Lü Jiang and another expert mentioned by Yue Hai wasn't solely this.
The Divine Envoy Organization.
He currently held a special position within this organization. They might have people lurking in the Yu family, and currently, only Lü Jiang had truly witnessed his strength.
Therefore, killing Lü Jiang was a must!
As for Ning Qiu, it was only a guess. Even if she had a connection to the Divine Envoy Organization or if news of it spread, Li Chonglou could use Yue Hai as a scapegoat.
But now, he truly hoped there were people from the Divine Envoy Organization within the Yu family. If he could then rely on the General Bureau, establish a connection with Elder Tie, and hold the Yu family in his hands.
His status would be undeniably high! He might even ascend to the higher echelons of the Divine Envoy Organization!
Lost in thought, he saw the shadow of a security booth ahead. Li Chonglou snapped out of his thoughts and quickened his pace with Yue Hai towards it.
Zheng Tian was originally an honest countryman. He entered the Yu family as a security guard through a chance encounter and had been there for over ten years. His long-standing position and income had drastically changed his mindset.
Towards those of higher status, he would be obsequious. Towards those of lower status, he would put on a condescending air.
Only in this way did he feel truly alive, and he spent his wages with gusto.
However, he never expected that in just half a day, he would receive two slaps from the boss's son for stopping an outsider!
As the saying goes, "He who walks by the river will eventually get his shoes wet." Zhen Tian had thought before that his behavior would surely lead to trouble, but he never imagined that when that day truly came, his mood would be so flustered.
Even now, he was still worried that the boss's son might fire him...
"I should have been more polite. People just can't control their base instincts."
Sitting by the inner bridge, Zheng Tian sighed deeply.
The Yu family's bridge was divided into an outer bridge and an inner bridge. The outer bridge was responsible for verifying identities upon entry, while the inner bridge was responsible for verifying exit.
Since everyone who entered would have a pass, the work at the inner bridge was much easier than at the outer bridge. After the incident, Zheng Tian felt an unceasing wave of panic and requested a transfer to the inner bridge.
His thought was that since he was so unlucky today, he might encounter similar situations later, so it was better to hide inside.
However, he overlooked one thing: Li Chonglou, who had entered, would also pass through here to exit!
As he was sighing, he happened to look up and saw Li Chonglou's figure.
"Damn, it's him again!"
Zheng Tian was immediately flustered and shot up from his seat.
Because the work at the inner bridge was easy, it was usually manned by only one security guard. This meant that at this moment, he had nowhere to escape!
At the same time, Li Chonglou also saw his figure and frowned.
"Xiao Hai, if anything happens later, you don't need to make a move. Leave it to me."
Recalling Zheng Tian's servile demeanor earlier, Li Chonglou couldn't help but suspect that the man had specifically come to this security booth to target him!
For someone with whom a conflict had occurred, this notification might lead to further complications...
Li Chonglou also sighed inwardly.
Yue Hai didn't understand, but he nodded nonetheless.
A minute later, the two stopped outside the security booth.
Zheng Tian inside was on the verge of tears.
No way, are they really coming for me? It's fine to just go out; I wasn't planning on coming out!
Zheng Tian was utterly bewildered at this moment. The two were just standing outside staring at him, and he couldn't escape. He had no choice but to brace himself and pull open the glass door.
"Hello, you two."
At this moment, he was filled with ten thousand regrets. Why had he acted that way before? He knew that Li Chonglou had left with Yu Qing. Although he had helped the young master, Li Chonglou was still an outsider!
After working here for so many years, he had never ridden in the cars of those people. The difference in status was obvious!
However, his reaction also caused Li Chonglou's expression to freeze.
"Cough, I have something to ask you."
As soon as he spoke, Zheng Tian suddenly knelt down.
"I was blind earlier. I beg you, great sir, to overlook my petty mistake and spare me! I have elderly parents and young children."
As he spoke, Zheng Tian's eyes welled up with tears. This scene completely bewildered Li Chonglou, and Yue Hai beside him wore a strange expression.
Brother Li, is this what you call trouble?
Li Chonglou, having recovered, quickly helped Zheng Tian up and said speechlessly, "What are you doing? I just wanted you to help me notify the family head."
