Chapter 191 He looks quite like your father

Wang Fucheng briefly explained what had happened, and Chen Mo roughly understood it.

Zhao Zheng was eager for revenge, and Zhou Hai doted on his disciple. Coincidentally, Zhou Hai had orchestrated the incident of Wang Pangzi challenging Ru Hua and introduced the secret medicine. Wang Fucheng was the second to exchange for the secret medicine last night. So Zhou Hai wanted to use the secret medicine as an excuse to give Wang Fucheng a gift, cater to his needs, and build a good relationship with him. Then he wanted to find out more details about the case from Wang Fucheng.

Wang Fucheng briefly explained the whole story, and Chen Mo understood it all immediately.

Zhao Zheng was single-mindedly focused on revenge, and Zhou Hai doted on this apprentice.

Just last night, the incident of Fatty Wang challenging Ru Hua caused quite a stir, and coincidentally, Wang Fucheng was the second person to exchange for the secret medicine last night. This news spread throughout the entire Lin'an City.

After figuring this out, Zhou Hai planned to use the secret medicine as a stepping stone to give as a gift, hoping to win over Wang Fucheng and ask him to help him review the case files of the Zhao family's massacre.

Wang Fucheng readily agreed and lied to them, saying he knew the inside story and would come to his house that evening to explain in detail.

Wang Fucheng handled this matter beautifully.

Zhenwei Martial Arts School has been under heavy security lately, and it would be troublesome to force your way in. Now that people are coming to us on their own, it saves us a lot of trouble.

Zhao Zheng must die tonight.

The only thing to consider is the museum owner.

"What's the owner's name?"

"Zhou Hai, mid-stage of the Transformation Realm."

"What kind of person is he?"

Wang Fucheng thought for a moment.

"It's nothing special, nothing particularly outstanding."

He paused, then added a sentence.

"But they are extremely protective of their own."

Chen Mo recalled the failed assassination attempt on Zhao Zheng last time. Zhou Hai assumed it was Lingyun Martial Arts School's doing, so he led all the school's disciples to block their gate overnight.

If this kind of person knew that Zhao Zheng died at their hands, they would definitely bite the hand that feeds them.

Chen Mo stood up.

"They are extremely protective of their own; keeping them around will only cause future trouble."

When will they arrive?

"戌时 (7-9 PM)".

"Let's go to your house."

Chen Mo was too lazy to go back to the courtyard; going back and forth would be a waste of time.

He took the new training manual with him and left with Wang Fucheng through the backyard.

They arrived at Wang Fucheng's house.

It's still early before 7 PM, so we shouldn't waste time.

Chen Mo sat down in a chair, took out his laptop, and started watching tutorial videos, speeding them up to 2x.

Since I'm just idling around anyway, I might as well improve my skills a little.

One swipe after another, the system notifications kept ringing in my head.

Wang Fucheng came to the courtyard and took out his tablet to begin cultivating.

Time passed second by second, and the sky gradually darkened.

As night fell, a few oil lamps were lit in the living room.

Chen Mo sat in the main seat, slowly sipping his tea.

Wang Fucheng sat below.

A moment later, there was a knock on the door. Wang Fucheng got up and opened it, where four people were standing.

Zhou Hai walked at the front, followed by Zhao Zheng, and then a man and a woman.

The man was in his early thirties and had a strong build.

The girl was eighteen or nineteen years old and wore a high ponytail.

Wang Fucheng frowned almost imperceptibly.

Zhou Hai quickly cupped his hands in greeting, his face beaming with smiles.

"Lord Wang, I am truly sorry! These two are my unworthy disciples. Upon hearing that we were coming to visit you, they both said they had long admired you and insisted on coming along. We apologize for their abruptness and hope you will forgive us!"

Wang Fucheng knew exactly what was going on.

During the day, Zhou Hai took Zhao Zheng to the county government office to offer gifts and ask for favors. Zhao Zheng greeted him with a smile and readily agreed. People took it as an opportunity to build a relationship and then brought his apprentice to help him network.

He'd seen this kind of thing all the time in officialdom.

He showed no sign of anything amiss and returned the greeting with a smile.

"Master Zhou, you're too kind. To be valued by Master Zhou, one must be a young talent. It wouldn't hurt to get to know him better."

He looked at the male disciple.

"Who is this?"

"The eldest disciple, Liu Biao."

Liu Biao clasped his hands and bowed, adopting a humble posture.

"Junior Liu Biao greets Lord Wang."

Wang Fucheng nodded, this kid is more composed than Zhao Zheng.

He then looked at the female disciple.

"Who is this?"

"Third disciple Xu Ling'er."

Xu Ling'er stepped forward, her eyes crinkling with a smile.

"Ling'er greets Lord Wang! During the day, Master told me that you are the most enthusiastic official in the county government, and seeing you today, I can confirm your extraordinary demeanor!"

Wang Fucheng smiled.

"This child is articulate; Master Zhou is a skilled teacher."

Zhou Hai gave Zhao Zheng a push.

"Zheng'er, hurry up and pay your respects to Lord Wang, don't be impolite."

Zhao Zheng stepped forward and clasped his hands in greeting.

"Junior Zhao Zheng greets Lord Wang."

They were all promising talents, but unfortunately they chose to come and die.

Wang Fucheng nodded and turned to walk inside.

"Please come in, everyone."

The four followed each other across the courtyard into the living room.

The room was brightly lit, and a young man in a moon-white brocade robe sat in the main seat, slowly sipping his tea. He didn't even look up when they entered the living room.

Zhou Hai stopped in his tracks.

In Wang Fucheng's home, someone else was sitting in the main seat.

His heart skipped a beat; he instinctively felt something was wrong, that this person was dangerous.

Before he could figure it out, Wang Fucheng had already walked up to the young man and bowed.

"Young master, the person has arrived."

Zhou Hai's pupils suddenly shrank to pinpoints.

Liu Biao's eyelids twitched, and he immediately lowered his head.

Xu Ling'er subconsciously took a half step back, her smile freezing on her face.

Wang Fucheng actually bowed to this young man and even called him "Young Master"?

Who exactly is this person?

Chen Mo nodded slightly and glanced at the four people.

The four men all looked bewildered, wary, and curious; none of them recognized him, suggesting they were all upright individuals.

Wang Fucheng stepped aside, and the living room instantly became the new owner.

Chen Mo put down his teacup, his gaze passing over Zhou Hai and landing on Zhao Zheng.

After observing him for a few seconds, he slowly spoke.

"He looks quite like your father."

Zhao Zheng's eyes lit up instantly.

He took a big step forward, his voice trembling.

"Do you know my father?"

Chen Mo picked up his teacup, speaking in a very casual tone.

"Not only do you know your father, but you also have a close relationship with your elder brother, whom you have never met."

Zhao Zheng's breathing suddenly became rapid.

He knows his father and his brother!

This person definitely knows the inside story of the Zhao family's massacre!

He took another half step forward and blurted out the question.

"Do you know of any clues leading to the massacre of my family?"

"Fourth brother, mind your manners."

Liu Biao coughed lightly from behind, lowering his voice to remind him.

Zhao Zheng then realized his lapse in composure and quickly made up for it with a fist and palm salute, but he couldn't hide the urgency in his eyes.

Zhou Hai stepped forward and bowed with his hands clasped in greeting.

"My name is Zhou Hai from Zhenwei Martial Arts School. During the day, thanks to Lord Wang's help, he agreed to help us access the case files, which is why I brought three disciples here. My disciple was so eager for revenge that he forgot the rules for a moment, so I hope you will forgive him, young master."

Chen Mo waved his hand casually.

"I understand. The whole family was wiped out, leaving only a child all alone. It's normal for him to want revenge."

Xu Ling'er's eyes immediately reddened, and she leaned close to Liu Biao's ear and whispered something.

"This young master speaks so gently, he'll probably help us, won't he?"

Liu Biao didn't reply, his eyes fixed on Chen Mo, not daring to relax.

Upon hearing this, Zhao Zheng's voice choked with emotion.

"I must find my enemy and tear him to pieces!"

Zhou Hai, being a seasoned veteran, also chimed in.

"If you know any clues, young master, please let us know. We will reward you handsomely."

Chen Mo put down his teacup and looked at Zhao Zheng.

"How much are you willing to pay?"

Without thinking, Zhao Zheng blurted out the name.
