Chapter 418 - 416: Bluffing Their Way Through
Thinking of this, Zhao Zhuo’s mouth twitched slightly, and he said, "No problem! Come on, keep searching!"
Two subordinates received the order, directly pushed Chen Tianlong aside, and began a very violent search. Zhang Yufei’s heart almost jumped out of her chest.
If the original plan was followed, Zhang Ju would be underneath, wouldn’t he be exposed this time?
"Report to Young Master Zhao, we didn’t find anything suspicious."
After a while, a subordinate said.
However, this made them a bit worried. Hadn’t Zhao Zhuo promised that kid earlier? If no one was found, should they really cut off an arm each?
Indeed, after they knew the answer, they started to tremble.
Even though they were subordinates, they always fought to death and wouldn’t self-harm. Now, having to self-amputate an arm was simply humiliating.
After hearing his subordinates’ words, Zhao Zhuo didn’t quite believe it, so he personally approached, grabbed inside the wooden box, and indeed found nothing.
Damn!
Where on earth did that kid hide the person? Could it be they really didn’t come out, and the intel was wrong?
Zhao Zhuo thought for a moment, the more he thought, the more wrong it felt. He had been tricked by this kid.
"Zhao Zhuo, fulfill your promise, make them each disable an arm." Just as Zhao Zhuo was contemplating, Chen Tianlong suddenly spoke.
"Hiss..."
Zhao Zhuo took a deep breath, looking at Chen Tianlong’s cold expression. He had no choice, having boasted earlier. He could not go back on his word in front of the manor’s steward.
If he did so, no one would dare collaborate with them in the future.
"You two, break each other’s arms."
Zhao Zhuo had no choice but to reluctantly allow his subordinates to suffer.
"Ah? Young Master Zhao...."
The two exclaimed simultaneously, but seeing Zhao Zhuo’s sharp expression, they shut their mouths, hesitated for a moment.....
"Ah....."
"Ah...."
After two muffled screams, the two hugged each other’s arms, suppressing their emotions, and walked into Zhao Zhuo’s team. Zhao Zhuo swallowed his anger, but he had bet earlier and now had to accept the loss.
"Alright, now it’s settled, right? Can we leave?" Chen Tianlong seeing things settled didn’t want to linger and directly said.
"Humph....."
Zhao Zhuo was clearly very angry, directly throwing a harsh word, "Don’t let me catch any dirt on you, or.... you’ll regret it!"
Chen Tianlong smiled faintly, as if dismissing Zhao Zhuo’s words as nonsense, turned around and signaled the two subordinates to keep pushing the cart.
Zhang Yufei walked over with a face full of confusion, but knowing this was not the place to talk, she just followed Chen Tianlong out.
Steward Li Sheng was ordered to see them off and followed closely.
After Chen Tianlong left, Zhao Zhuo was furious, but suddenly recalled the earlier event and felt it was somewhat strange. So, he pondered and took his two subordinates towards the manor hall, wanting to find out where the Manor Master was.
As soon as Chen Tianlong’s convoy reached the gate, he observed the surroundings but did not notice anyone following. He hurriedly said to Zhang Yufei beside him, "Yufei, quickly help Master get in the car!"
"Huh? Master? Where’s Master?"
Zhang Yufei was obviously dumbfounded, standing there motionless.
"Disciple, I’m here. This medicine made my throat really uncomfortable." Suddenly, the silent steward beside them spoke.
"Huh?"
Once again, Zhang Yufei froze, not daring to believe it. When did the steward become Master? But upon closer inspection, she indeed recognized some traces of Manor Master Zhang Ju.
"Yufei, there’s no time, let’s talk in the car."
Chen Tianlong knew Zhang Yufei’s doubts, but now was not the time to explain, he hurriedly got her into the car.
Zhang Yufei suddenly reacted, then helped Zhang Ju into the car. Chen Tianlong immediately started the engine and raced away from there.
After about five minutes, Zhang Yufei finally came to her senses, looking at the elderly man beside and asked, "What’s... what’s going on?"
"Hehe, better let Chen Tianlong explain, I’m too old and not good at expressing myself!" Zhang Ju rubbed his ear hard and restored his original appearance.
Zhang Yufei covered her mouth and stared, enlightened yet finding it unbelievable. Master actually knew disguise skill.
Chen Tianlong turned around, glanced at Zhang Yufei in astonishment, then said with a wry smile, "It’s like this. Originally, we followed the plan, but suddenly remembered there might be interception outside. With such a large box, it’s obviously the most suspicious."
"Oh, then why still use such a big box? Couldn’t we just walk out?" Zhang Yufei was still puzzled.
"You’re silly. Walking directly would draw attention to the steward, the focus would be on him."
Chen Tianlong explained as he watched the road, "Actually, when Master was speaking earlier, I was quite anxious. Luckily, he took a pill to make his throat hoarse. This way, if the opponent wasn’t accustomed to talking with Master, they wouldn’t notice a flaw, but even this carried risks."
"However, by doing this, their focus was on the large box, naturally neglecting Master." Chen Tianlong explained.
"Wow..... that’s how it is." Zhang Yufei was enlightened but soon thought, "Master is amazing, he can even disguise?"
"Oh, Yufei, you’re mistaken again. It’s Chen Tianlong, not me!"
With a bitter smile, Zhang Ju never imagined he accepted a disciple whose medical skill surpasses his own. If it weren’t for his unparalleled surgical prowess, he might’ve considered making this disciple his master.
"Huh? Chen Tianlong... aren’t you something, you’re so skilled, even know disguise skill." Zhang Yufei was in extreme admiration, never realizing she had a genius by her side all along.
If it weren’t for discovering Chen Tianlong’s uniqueness over time, she would never have guessed he wasn’t an ordinary person.
"Haha, it’s not difficult. My previous Master knew it, so he taught me." Chen Tianlong said calmly.
"Wow, your Master knows everything. I have to find time to visit this divine figure myself." Zhang Yufei grinned.
"Hehe...."
Chen Tianlong chuckled without replying, focusing on driving.
However, at this moment, Chen Tianlong suddenly noticed from the rearview mirror that there were three identical black BMW cars rapidly chasing after them. He hurriedly looked again and was shocked.
Because the person he saw was Zhao Zhuo.
"Not good, that guy is catching up."
Chen Tianlong hurriedly said, "Everyone hold tight, I’m going to race."
The two in the car were stunned, immediately looking back. Indeed, three black cars were chasing fiercely. They immediately fastened their seatbelts and tightly clutched the front seats.
