In the evening, after settling matters in the village, Lu Chen went directly to the county.

After acquiring the art of changing shape and shrinking bones, he would change his appearance every time he went to the county.

Every time is different.

Once at his lodgings, he would change his clothes and shoes, cover his face, and put on a straw hat to ensure that no one would know his true identity.

Lu Chen had a very ordinary longsword hanging at his waist and was playing with two iron galls in his hands. He walked down the street like a leisurely wandering knight, and strolled all the way to a very low-key mansion.

It was already late, and the sun had set an hour earlier. People who had come to cool off were gradually going home to sleep. Lu Chen squatted in the shadows, watching the house go from brightly lit to gradually dimming, and the sounds gradually disappeared.

Late at night.

The chirping of cicadas rose and fell, while the croaking of frogs from the distant pond created the most soothing symphony at that moment.

Lu Chen stood up.

This is the residence of Wang Xiong, the registrar.

Most of the intelligence in the Black Killing Pavilion of Shahu County contains information about him.

Even within the Black Kill Pavilion of Yuncheng County, Wang Xiong was among those listed.

He is a low-key person who doesn't show off, but since he has connections with the Black Gang—no, it should be said that he was originally a member of the Black Gang—he is naturally not a good person. He is good at hiding, but that only applies to ordinary people.

In the face of the Black Killing Pavilion, some of his secrets were not secrets at all.

Neither he, nor his son, daughter, nor son-in-law are any good people.

The only person who could be considered a good person in the conventional sense was his wife.

However, his wife is already dead.

Lu Chen leaped lightly onto the wall, his black clothes and bamboo hat blending him into the darkness.

The gentle breeze of the summer night made him feel very comfortable.

"I didn't expect there to be people on night watch and guard duty. Oh, and dogs too! They're quite vigilant! If they had nothing to hide, why would they be watching so closely?"

Lu Chen raised an eyebrow, raised his arm, and three pebbles shot out from different directions.

"Whoosh whoosh!"

Three people in different locations fell to the ground simultaneously with a thud.

Almost simultaneously, Lu Chen fired three more pebbles.

This time, it's about dealing with those three dogs who noticed something was wrong.

Before it could even bark, the three wolfhounds' heads exploded, and they twitched a few times before dying.

After dealing with the people in front, Lu Chen walked along the wall to the backyard.

According to his memory, he was on his way to Wang Xiong's room when he unexpectedly heard faint cries for help.

"Um?"

Lu Chen turned his head to look at the source of the sound.

"That looks like Wang Xiong's son's residence?" A thought flashed through his mind, and he immediately went over. Looking through the window, he saw a young man with his upper body naked, groping someone.

The person had their back to Lu Chen, so their appearance was obscured. All that could be seen was that their hands and feet were bound, their clothes were torn, and they were struggling violently.

Lu Chen's expression darkened slightly, and he immediately threw a pebble at the target.

Controlling the force, the blow didn't cause brain damage, only swelling the young man's head, leaving a large bump, and he passed out.

Lu Chen pushed the door open and went in. The woman glanced at Wang Dong on the ground, then turned to look at the person who came in, her panic intensifying.

"what!"

She screamed.

Lu Chen slapped him across the face: "Shut up!"

Half of the woman's face became red and swollen, and her whole body was trembling, but she obediently quieted down.

Lu Chen stepped forward, pressed her neck, and she fainted.

At this point, even if it's about saving someone, we can't let her ruin her own plans.

Thinking of this, Lu Chen even found the clothes that Wang Dong had taken off and stuffed them into the woman's mouth to prevent her from waking up halfway and shouting to attract attention.

Then, Lu Chen gagged Wang Dong, grabbed one of his feet, lifted him into the air like a sack, and brought him to Wang Xiong's house.

After listening carefully for a while, I could only hear one person breathing inside.

Lu Chen put Wang Dong down, opened the door skillfully, picked up Wang Dong, closed the door again, lit a lamp, sat in a chair, and waited quietly.

"Awake? If you're awake, stop pretending to be asleep. Your son is still lying naked on the floor. If you keep pretending to be asleep, he'll catch a cold!"

Lu Chen held a knife to Wang Dong's neck with his left hand, while twirling two iron balls in his right.

He looks just like an old man with a string of beads.

Wang Xiong tensed up completely.

He didn't know who came into the house, but one thing he was very clear about.

Since this person is so brazen, even daring to sit and wait for him to wake up, he is clearly not afraid of him at all.

He's probably no match for him!

Opening his eyes, Wang Xiong quickly glanced at Wang Dong, who was unconscious on the ground. Seeing that he was still breathing, he felt relieved, sat up, and looked at Lu Chen.

He was dressed in black, wearing a straw hat, and his face was covered.

"Sir... are you seeking money or revenge? Do we know each other?"

Lu Chen shook his head: "I didn't come here for money; if that's what you're after, you're dead. I came here to question you!"

Wang Hu was puzzled.

"Question? What do you want to ask, sir? I'll answer everything I know!" He licked his dry lips, his eyes unable to resist glancing at his son's huge swollen bump on the ground.

"Don't worry, you won't die. I have perfect control over my strength!" Lu Chen saw his worry and said.

Wang Xiong forced a weak smile, bracing himself on the edge of the bed with both hands, his fingers digging into the floor, clearly indicating that he was not at peace.

"What's your relationship with the Black Gang?"

Lu Chen poured himself a glass of water.

Cold sweat instantly poured down Wang Xiong's forehead.

The Black Gang—this was his secret, one that even his own son didn't know. How did he find out?

"I……"

"Think it through before you speak!"

Lu Chen applied slight pressure with the steel knife in his left hand, and a bloody mark was immediately pressed onto Wang Dong's neck.

Wang Xiong panicked immediately, swallowed hard, and hurriedly said, "I'll talk! I know Zhao Defu, he's my..."

"Stop! I'm not interested in a dead man's affairs!" Lu Chen's voice was cold. "Tell me about Hao Cheng. What do you want with him?"

"Hao Cheng?" Wang Xiong's heart skipped a beat, and his eyes widened slightly.

How does he even know about Hao Cheng's affairs?

"Hao Cheng, Hao Cheng... I only need to talk to him about some personal matters," Wang Xiong stammered, his mind racing.

"Looks like you're not being honest!"

Lu Chen raised his foot and stepped on Wang Dong's knee.

"Bang!"

Wang Dong's kneecap was completely shattered, and his patella was reduced to powder.

Fresh blood and bits of flesh exploded.

Wang Dong was also awakened from his coma by excruciating pain. His eyes bulged out, and his screams were muffled by the clothes in his mouth.

Wang Xiong suddenly made his move at this moment.

"Whoosh!"

He slammed his palms on the edge of the bed, and like an arrow released from a bow, he suddenly rushed towards Lu Chen, his eyes filled with intense killing intent, and his iron palms slammed down towards Lu Chen's head.

"You won't shed a tear until you see the coffin!" Lu Chen shook his head, opened his large hand, grabbed Wang Xiong's arm, and then gave it a sudden shake. Wang Xiong's entire body seemed to lose its support, and he fell to the ground with a thud.

Lu Chen didn't even stand up; he stepped on Wang Xiong's back and pressed down hard.

"puff!"

Wang Xiong coughed up a mouthful of blood, his face turning deathly pale.
