Soon, a group of more than a dozen people arrived at the Liu family's base.

When the patrolling soldiers at Liu's base saw Lü Qi and his group, they knew they were from the lakeside camp and dared not be negligent in the slightest.

The person in charge first sent someone back to report the news, then walked up to Lü Qi and the others, and said with a smile, "Friends at the lakeside camp, what brings you here?"

Lu Qi smiled and said, "We need to find a man named Liu Liang; there are some things we need to ask him."

The person in charge was taken aback and cautiously asked, "May I ask what it is?"

Lu Qi shook his head and said calmly, "This is a secret, and this matter was arranged personally by our leader."

Upon hearing that it was personally arranged by Chief Jiang, the person in charge dared not ask any more questions and simply chatted with Lü Qi with a smile.

Soon, Liu Ling, the leader of the Liu family, arrived at the gate in person.

Liu Ling's pupils contracted as he glanced at Lü Qi's crocodile-skin trench coat and the knife on his back.

He recognized the items; some of them were the same as those worn by Chief Jiang.

This also indicates that the person in front of us must be an important figure at the lakeside camp.

Even though Liu Ling is the fifth largest force in the Donghu base, he has more than 600 brave warriors under his command.

However, facing a man who appeared to be a high-ranking official at the lakeside camp, he dared not be negligent and asked with a smile, "May I ask your name?"

Lu Qi removed the snakeskin mask from his face, revealing his true appearance, and smiled, "Chief Liu, I am Lu Qi. When our Huaxi Valley Base first dealt with Donghu Base, I was the one responsible for communicating with you, do you remember?"

Liu Ling recognized Lü Qi this time, and his heart tightened even more.

The person in front of us is essentially the spokesperson for the Huaxi Valley base, and their status is absolutely not to be underestimated.

He took a deep breath and smiled, "Brother Lü, I still vividly remember how you single-handedly faced our entire base back then. I admire you very much. I didn't expect you to come here in person this time. Why don't you come inside and have a few drinks?"

Lu Qi shook his head and smiled, "Our leader instructed me to come to your base to find a man named Liu Liang. There are some things I need to ask him."

As an evolved being, Liu Ling's memory was also enhanced, and he quickly remembered who Liu Liang was.

At the same time, doubts arose in his mind.

Liu Liang was merely a servant in the Liu family. How could his name have been known to Chief Jiang of the Huaxi Valley base?

After thinking for a moment, Liu Ling smiled and said, "I will arrange for someone to bring Liu Liang over right away."

Lu Qi smiled and said, "Thank you, Chief Liu."

Inside a villa in the Liu family's inner courtyard.

Liu Liang was standing to the side, watching enviously as Liu Ling's godson, Liu Zhengze, ate snacks and played games.

Liu Zhengze's original name was Zhang Zhengze, and he is only fifteen years old now.

Liu Liang still remembers when he first met Liu Zhengze, he was skinny and thin, but in just a few months, he has become a big fat man.

Because his mother caught Liu Ling's eye and became Liu Ling's woman.

As a result, Zhang Zhengze's status was greatly elevated, and he directly adopted the surname Liu and became Liu Ling's adopted son.

From then on, they had no worries about food and clothing.

Suddenly, several armed soldiers entered the villa's living room and shouted, "Young master, the leader wants to take Liu Liang over for questioning."

Liu Zheng didn't even turn his head, and said indifferently, "Whatever."

Liu Liang felt a little flustered and cautiously asked the soldier next to him, "Brother, is something wrong?"

The soldier ignored him.

As one of the guards on the city wall last night, he had already begun to admire Chief Jiang.

The person in front of them was the one that Chief Jiang had specifically requested.

Given Chief Jiang's status and Liu Liang's character, it's highly likely that Liu Liang did something that offended Chief Jiang.

That's why Chief Jiang sent people over.

Soon, Liu Liang was brought before Lü Qi.

He asked Liu Ling in a trembling voice, "Chief, what are your orders?"

Lu Qi recalled the description of Liu Liang given by the man during the questioning, and it immediately matched the description of the man in front of him.

Overjoyed, he smiled at Liu Ling and said, "Chief Liu, may I take him aside to ask him a few questions?"

Liu Ling nodded and smiled, "Please go ahead."

With Liu Ling's permission, Lü Qi grabbed Liu Liang's arm and ran with him several dozen meters away.

That speed far exceeded that of ordinary people.

Liu Ling's pupils contracted.

Unexpectedly, this Lü Qi is actually a master with such speed.

Lü Qi alone, no one in his own base can beat him, maybe even if they all joined together, they wouldn't be enough to defeat him.

After all, the trench coat he was wearing looked to be made of the same material as the ones worn by Chief Jiang and the other top experts at the lakeside camp.

It must be impervious to swords and spears.

This lakeside campsite is absolutely terrifying!

Not long after, Lü Qi returned with Liu Liang, who was pale and covered in cold sweat.

Lu Qi went straight to the point and asked, "Chief Liu, do you have a godson named Liu Zhengze?"

Liu Ling was startled, then nodded and said, "Yes."

Lu Qi leaned close to Liu Ling's ear and whispered, "The matter of our leader's mother-in-law being tortured to death has been investigated and clarified. We are now going back to report. How to handle it requires the leader's instructions."

After saying this, Lü Qi gave Liu Ling a meaningful look and left with his soldiers.

Upon hearing Lü Qi's words, Liu Ling's heart skipped a beat.

Chief Jiang's mother-in-law was tortured to death?

Is it related to the Liu family?

Liu Ling felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, as if the sky had collapsed.

He wanted to catch up with Lü Qi to get some answers, but the other party clearly didn't want to say anything more.

Suppressing his panic, Liu Ling dismissed his other men, then turned to Liu Liang and asked coldly, "Tell me, what exactly happened?"
