Chapter 2365 An Unexpected Guest
The young master of the Cheng family, who was guarding the courtyard gate, felt a jolt in his heart. He suppressed his throat slightly and asked in a low, indistinct voice, "Who is it?"
The voice outside was also hushed, "I'm looking for Rong Hou."
The young master of the Cheng family's expression changed slightly. Those who were looking for Rong Hou must be people from the black market.
"Hold on."
He slowly took two steps back, then quietly ran to the front hall to find Meng Yunzheng, who was talking to Rong Hou.
"Young Master Meng, there's someone at the door. They're knocking very urgently and say they're looking for Rong Hou."
Meng Yunzheng and Rong Hou exchanged a glance, their hearts sinking. "Did you have an appointment to meet someone at this time?"
"No."
So, the other party came to us suddenly. Was it due to some unexpected event, or...?
Meng Yunzheng immediately gathered four or five people, and asked the young master of the Cheng family to tell Lord Shu Yucheng and the others. He then said to Rong Hou, "Let's go and take a look."
The group quickly arrived at the courtyard gate, and Rong Hou hurriedly asked in a low voice, "Who's outside?"
"I."
Rong Hou's eyes widened, and he quickly looked at Meng Yunzheng, whispering, "It's Lord Liu Jie."
Meng Yunzheng narrowed his eyes slightly. He knew Liu Jie. In the past few days, Rong Hou had explained everything he could about the black market, including the relationships between the people he knew. Liu Jie was the superior of his superiors, the second-in-command in the black market in the southwest. This man was very mysterious and rarely showed himself; few people in the black market had ever seen him.
If Rong Hou hadn't been one of his subordinates, he probably wouldn't have recognized him.
I never expected him to come.
Meng Yunzheng waved his hand, and Rong Hou took a deep breath and quickly opened the door, revealing Liu Jie's somewhat haggard face.
Rong Hou was somewhat surprised, "What's wrong, sir?"
After confirming that the person in front of him was Rong Hou, Liu Jie didn't say anything more. He waved his hand at the corner, and more than a dozen people walked out one after another.
Rong Hou's heart skipped a beat, thinking that Liu Jie had discovered something had happened at the Cheng residence and had specially brought people to eliminate it.
However, before he could do anything, he heard Liu Jie whisper, "Quickly prepare the room and find a reliable doctor to come over, hurry."
Rong Hou paused for a moment, only then noticing that among the dozen or so people who had come over, one seemed to be injured and was being carried on the back of a burly man.
Even Liu Jie was so nervous, so this person's identity must be extraordinary.
At Meng Yunzheng's prompting, Rong Hou hurriedly agreed and quickly instructed the two people beside him, one to go out the door and the other to go to the yard to 'tidy up the house'.
Rong Hou opened the door a little wider and welcomed Liu Jie and the others in.
Liu Jie and his men were all fully armed, with weapons hanging on their bodies and cloaks covering their entire bodies. They lowered their heads slightly, completely concealing their faces.
Rong Hou closed the door and led the group inside. Meng Yunzheng, who had been hiding in the shadows, slowly bolted the door shut.
Liu Jie didn't notice that he was nervously following the injured person, his brow almost furrowed in a knot.
The group quickly arrived at the backyard, entered one of the courtyards, and placed the injured person on a bed.
Meng Yunzheng and several of his men lagged behind. They originally wanted to enter the courtyard, but unexpectedly, two people were guarding the outside of the courtyard. No one except Rong Hou was allowed to enter.
Meng Yunzheng had no choice but to stop. After the candlelight in the room lit up, he quietly raised his eyelids, and the next moment, his expression changed slightly.
One of the people guarding the gate was actually an acquaintance.
