There were only a few people scattered around in the courtyard, but they all looked very alert, constantly glancing around. They were probably on guard. As for how many people were inside the house, no one knew.
As darkness fell, people gradually returned from outside, and by the time it was completely dark, there were nearly two hundred people in total.
"Have you seen Zhou Zhi?" Luo Xi asked Du Sanlang, who was standing next to her.
"No!" Du Sanlang said dejectedly, then guessed after a moment, "Could he have been inside the house the whole time?"
"It's possible, but it's also possible they haven't returned yet." After thinking for a moment, Luo Xi finally decided to wait a little longer.
However, Zhou Zhi did not return even when curfew was imposed.
Luo Xi had no choice but to say to Yue Zheng Feiyuan, "Never mind, immediately send the soldiers in. Remember, don't let a single one escape."
Du Sanlang stared at the rational and stern Luo Xi in front of him, momentarily stunned.
Is the person in front of me really the same boss who argued with me for half a day just a couple of days ago because I put too little chili in?
At that moment, the soldiers who had been lying in ambush all around, led by Yue Zheng Feiyuan, rushed into the courtyard, and chaos immediately broke out there.
Only then did Rosie realize that there were nearly four hundred people hidden inside, each of them highly skilled.
"Boss, should we go down and help?" Du Sanlang asked anxiously.
"No need." Loxi activated her powers to the maximum, constantly exploring her surroundings to prevent any escapees from getting away.
However, Yue Zheng Fei Yuan is Yue Zheng Fei Yuan. Until the end of the battle, not a single person, let alone a rat, escaped.
“Come on, let’s go down.” Luo Xi picked up Du Sanlang again and jumped off the roof.
Du Sanlang: "..."
When Le Zhengfei saw Luo Xi come down, he quickly went to greet him: "Chief, I've asked around, but no one knows where Zhou Zhi went?"
"They said he went out early today and hasn't come back yet."
That's strange. Did they receive the message and run away?
Luo Xi refused to believe it and had Du Sanlang identify everyone in the courtyard, whether dead or alive, but the result was still the same.
“By the way, Chief.” At this moment, Yue Zhengfeiyuan seemed to remember something and said, “When I was interrogating them just now, I learned that Zhou Zhi hid the harvested wheat in a village outside the city. Perhaps he is there.”
“Alright, then you take some people and go search. I’ll take the people here back first.” Luo Xi turned to Du Sanlang: “You come too, and help Yue Zheng Feiyuan identify the people.”
"Yes, Boss!" the two replied.
However, when Yue Zhengfei returned from the search the next day at dawn, he also reported that he had not found anyone.
Luo Xi was truly speechless. Could it be that the person had really run away? Just as she was about to send people from the Red Mansion to look for him, the gatekeeper suddenly came to report.
"Boss, Doctor Nan sent someone to say that he arrested a spy yesterday."
Luo Xi's lips twitched, and she asked, "Don't tell me that the spy's name is Zhou Zhi?"
The gatekeeper looked up in surprise: "So you already knew?"
Loxi: "..."
So all that work they did all night was for Nan Wushang to steal their man away. And not only that, he didn't even say a word. Wasn't that just deliberately trying to annoy them?
"Since you caught him yesterday, why are you only bringing it up now?"
The gatekeeper looked bewildered: "This humble servant...this humble servant does not know either."
Luo Xi pinched the bridge of her nose: "Alright, go do your own thing."
After sending Du Sanlang back to rest, she and Yue Zhengfeiyuan went to Nan Wushang's residence.
However, when they met Zhou Zhi, they were both stunned.
Is this thing, which looks like a giant rag doll that's been stitched back together, really Zhou Zhi?
Luo Xi sighed, "You..."
"Oh, Boss." Nan Wushang withdrew his hand from taking Luo Xi's pulse and stared at Luo Xi with fervor: "The medical book you gave me is truly amazing."
He gestured excitedly, saying, "So it turns out that after a person's limbs are cut off, they really can be reattached. Look, look, they're still warm, they haven't gone cold yet."
As Nan Wushang spoke, he smiled and inserted a needle. Zhou Zhi, who had just fainted, screamed in pain once again.
It turned out that the silver needles weren't stuck on the newly reattached limb at all, but on the still bleeding stump. There were countless needle marks there, showing that this wasn't the first time Nan Wushang had pricked someone like that.
"Oh dear, sorry, sorry, my hand slipped," he said insincerely.
Zhou Zhi's voice was barely audible: "Hahaha, Nan Wushang, you, you think that because you're as loyal as a dog to Luo, Luo Xi, she, she considers you one of her own?"
"You're dreaming!"
He didn't notice Luo Xi and Yue Zheng Feiyuan not far away, and glanced at Nan Wushang with disdain: "Don't you think that with your unpredictable personality, people like Luo Xi and the others, these self-proclaimed... righteous people, would tolerate you?"
"Hahaha, how naive!"
"They're only keeping you around because you still have some use. Just wait, they'll squeeze you dry and then crush you like a bedbug."
Nan Wushang casually glanced at Luo Xi, then sneered and said, "Heh, could it be that your Left Prime Minister thinks I look somewhat like his father, so he wants to invite me back to worship me, or that he's interested in my medical skills and wants to recruit me?"
Zhou Zhi: "..."
I almost died from my injuries.
He took a deep breath, desperately suppressing the churning blood in his chest, and after a while said, "Don't be ungrateful. Let me tell you, your General Xiao Yi has now become my master's adopted son, and he's living a life of unparalleled glory. Who in the entire capital doesn't envy him?"
