After Feng Tianci left, the old man only said one thing: that he told the people around him not to say anything about it.

Besides that, he didn't need to make any further preparations, because he knew that once Feng Tianci did something, he would leave no trace.

Even if others were to find this place, he would have a way to send them back.

"Grandpa, now that he's taken care of the people, what should we do? Shouldn't we do something? If we don't, those people will definitely come looking for us, and you'll be in trouble then."

In any case, those around him felt that the old man couldn't possibly remain indifferent at this point.

Besides, sacrificing Feng Tianci at this time is the best course of action, since it was Feng Tianci's own doing.

When the people around him offered their advice, the old man frowned and said, "You make it sound so easy, but what I think is different from yours."

"Alright, do you need to say these things? I know that protecting Feng Tianci might cause some trouble, but I can handle it. I don't need you to remind me."

When the old man berated those around him, they could only shut up. They hadn't expected the old man to do this to protect Feng Tianci.

Even now, they have chosen to sacrifice the power they have cultivated over the years. But they have not had it easy all these years. The old man did this simply to protect a young man.

Sure enough, someone came to the door the next day.

"Old Master, I heard that you met with Cheng Yaojin yesterday with some bodyguards. What exactly did you discuss? He suddenly died last night, and all the clues are nowhere to be found. Old Master, could you recount the details of the meeting?"

After all, Cheng Yaojin's death would affect many interests, and most importantly, many leads had been lost.

They want to obtain something, but they might also have to give it up for that reason.

The old man picked at his ear. These people were asking him questions as if they had some kind of leverage over him.

But Feng Tianci wouldn't let them find any fault with him.

"What nonsense are you talking about? Do you think I have the ability to fight against Cheng Yaojin? Or do you think I have the ability to kill him? If I could kill him, would I have waited until now? Perhaps I would have already resolved these matters."

“You all know my capabilities, and you know exactly what my bodyguards are capable of. Besides, there were no problems when we left that day, and the number of people matches up. You can’t frame me for this, can you?”

No matter what they said, the old man just wouldn't admit it. Not only did he refuse to admit it, he even passed the buck back to the old man.

Faced with all the old man's words, they immediately felt that the case was in jeopardy, after all, what the old man said made some sense.

They had investigated the old man's abilities and background to some extent. If the old man were capable, they wouldn't have any doubts at this moment, but instead would have presented all the evidence.

"Sir, we've really disturbed you, so we'll be taking our leave now."

After they left, the old man remained calm and continued to handle other matters. He knew that there must be someone watching him from the shadows.

But no matter what the other party's purpose was, no matter how closely they watched him, he wouldn't reveal any flaws. Not only would he not reveal any flaws, he would also let others know that he wasn't someone to be trifled with. Seeing that the old man hadn't met with anyone after they left, and that he maintained a calm attitude throughout the matter...

They even felt that they might have wronged the old man, since if he wanted to do something, he wouldn't need to hide it at all.

Only Old Mrs. Li knew that perhaps this was the work of the old man and Feng Tianci. The old man was incapable, but the young man from the newly appointed Special Bureau was.

It's not necessarily a matter of lacking ability. Although the other party is young, he believes that without certain methods, one cannot reach that position.

"It seems the situation has changed. Fortunately, I chose the right side. However, whether this side can remain stable depends on that young man."

Upon hearing the old lady speaking quietly to herself, the people around her immediately brought her some pastries.

"Grandma, what are you worried about? Are you worried about the family? Or is it that Cheng Yaojin's death will have some impact on our family?"

The old lady had particularly sharp eyes; she looked at the person next to her.

If this person wasn't an informant, he certainly wouldn't believe it, especially since he also knew that others had placed many informants around him.

It was simply to test his attitude. He didn't care before, but if he still doesn't care now, he will definitely be bullied to the core.

"What's wrong? Why would you ask that? Do you think I'll tell you after you ask, or is your master already getting impatient?"

Under the old lady's sharp words, those around him realized that he had almost given himself away. He quickly shook his head, a forced smile on his face.

“Grandma, I certainly didn’t mean that. I’m definitely on your side, and I’m someone close to you. How could I possibly side with someone else? If this kind of thing got out, it would sound terrible. Besides, Grandma, I’m only loyal to you.”

Seeing the man's expression, the old lady didn't say a word, just gave him a look, and the man quickly disappeared in front of her.

The old lady originally didn't intend to deal with the people around her, but if this person were to tell others, it would definitely cause problems for the old man.

Once this news leaks out, Feng Tianci will inevitably have no room to grow, and that's all he can do to help young people.

When Feng Tianci heard that there had been no news for the past two days, he figured that the old man was definitely avoiding trouble by not associating with him.

Once they've been interacting for a while, they'll inevitably attract attention. No matter who it is, Feng Tianci will face the challenge head-on; he has no fear whatsoever.

The old man has been subjected to a lot of interrogations these past two days. Besides the interrogations, he also knows that there are other things being used to find fault.

Not to mention these people, even his friends asked him questions as if they were testing him.

The old man used to not know what kind of people others were, but now he seems to have figured out whether the people around him are human or ghosts.
