Online: I Can See Health Bars

Since Mr. Diao and Lord Ding Hui are so close, how could they let Che Linfang, this woman, take advantage of the situation?

Could it be that Lord... actually wants multiple wives and concubines?

Mi Hengpeng's thoughts were turning, always wanting to climb higher, one must be more flexible in thought, and do more guessing.

"You may leave now."

"Yes!"

Knowing when to withdraw is sometimes very important.

Mi Hengpeng bowed and backed out to the door, closing it behind him.

Then, straightening his back, he took big steps outward, but after only a few steps, he saw Che Linfang coming towards him.

Mi Hengpeng paused slightly, but his expression quickly returned to normal, and he greeted her with a smile.

"Officer Che..."

Swoosh—

Che Linfang passed by him, their eyes met briefly, but Che Linfang's gaze was dismissive, seemingly not taking Mi Hengpeng seriously.

Looking away, Che Linfang already stood at Fang Yu's door.

However, unlike Mi Hengpeng who knocked and greeted, she just pushed the door and entered.

"Diao Deyi!"

The voice of Che Linfang came out from the room, freezing Mi Hengpeng in place, his expression gradually stiffening, becoming restrained.

He took a deep look at Mr. Diao's room, then strode away.

"Although Mr. Diao has never shown a tendency for multiple wives and concubines, his actions are in that direction."

"Perhaps, I should find an outstanding woman, recruit her as a maid for the Diao Residence, present her and cater to his tastes..."

...

Inside the room.

"First, close the door."

Fang Yu rolled his eyes.

It was as if Che Linfang's status had recently risen like a rocket, and her vigilance had clearly worsened.

Being the second in command among the demons, and in Fang Yu's place, Fang Yu didn't bother her too much.

Thus, Che Linfang's days were increasingly comfortable, really becoming more and more careless.

Such recklessness worried Fang Yu that she might get into trouble someday, involving him as well.

Che Linfang took a few steps back, closed the door, and went straight to the point.

"Found it."

"What?"

"The hiding place of Qiong Xiaolou, it's found."

Fang Yu's face showed a hint of pleasure.

The card of Qiong Xiaolou was still quite useful to him.

Soon, an action was going to be taken at Yangshen Hall, and he would be pushed into a critical situation, this card could add some chips for him.

"Where is the person?"

"He ran away."

Fang Yu: ???

Fang Yu's expression darkened.

"Didn't I say not to act rashly and startle the target? How come you still..."

"It wasn't us who acted first, we were discovered. That courtesan following Qiong Xiaolou, whom you mentioned before, is very formidable."

Of course she is formidable, a high-level master from the White Lotus Sect!

Even your strongest Scarlet-Blue Hammer Giant Ape Spirit, or even the external aid of the Three Demons with three thousand power, are no match for that woman.

This was also one of the reasons why Fang Yu instructed Che Linfang not to directly confront after finding the person.

After all, Fang Yu is currently only at a demon tail level, and does not have underlings who can genuinely shoulder the big responsibilities.

Martial Artists above a thousand power start feeling overwhelmed, it must be him personally taking action to succeed.

Of course, if they could gang up and surround, they would still manage to take them down.

But now that the person ran away, the strategy of assembling manpower for a surround attack naturally became impossible.

"Now that the person ran away, why come back to report?" Fang Yu said irritably.

Che Linfang raised her eyebrows.

Being treated as equals for too long, suddenly being spoken to in such a tone by Fang Yu, Che Linfang clearly looked somewhat displeased.

But indeed, she had messed up the task.

Gritting her teeth, Che Linfang said.

"When we were chasing, we engaged with Qiong Xiaolou. Then we realized, it wasn't just Qiong Xiaolou there; three others were hidden and quickly left the scene."

Upon hearing this, Fang Yu frowned.

"Was he seeking reinforcements?"

"I don't know."

"How capable were those three people in hiding?"

"I failed to catch up and did not engage in combat, but their movements were so swift, their strength must be... above ours. Moreover, their retreat was so decisive, which is quite odd."

Indeed, quite strange.

Fang Yu closed his eyes, pondering.

Che Linfang didn't know, but he knew that Qiong Xiaolou's courtesan, was none other than Eastern Gate Orchid.

And the Eastern Gate Orchid, belongs to the White Lotus Sect.

Could it be those three people in the shadows belong to the White Lotus Sect?

Or maybe... they are from the Bonfire Gathering?

After all, following that night, Eastern Gate Orchid was considered a high-ranking member of the Bonfire Gathering.

And it wouldn't be so quick for the White Lotus Sect's masters to send support. If Eastern Gate Orchid sought help, the Bonfire Gathering would indeed be a better option…

Opening his eyes, Fang Yu had made a decision in his mind.

It seems, can I still use my Red Bull identity to my advantage?

That day, during the chaotic battle between the Li Family and the Lin Family, it was He Bashan who recognized my identity.

Now that He Bashan is dead, I could very well walk right back into the Bonfire Gathering to try my luck.

Since I know Qiong Xiaolou is shielded by the Bonfire Gathering, becoming a protector and finding him shouldn't be difficult.

"For this matter, hold off any actions on your part for now, in case the Blind-eyed Demon notices something and our clandestine efforts ruin everything, then we'd really have to face the consequences."

"Then Qiong Xiaolou..."

"I'll find a way to gather some intelligence from my human identity."

"...Yes."

No matter what, the person did manage to escape from Che Linfang.

Though it was due to a lack of information, escaped he has, and the result stands as it is.

"Diao Deyi, this time I acted... recklessly..."

Che Linfang hesitated before speaking up; however, Fang Yu waved his hand.

"It's good you realize. It's not been easy for either of us to climb to our current positions; we must not be complacent. Even if Qiong Xiaolou is extra cautious, with our demon methods, getting close to him without showing any flaws is still not a problem."

Che Linfang lowered her head, slowly clenching her fist.

Because Fang Yu was right.

If she was more cautious and careful, gradually extended her search, she wouldn't have easily alerted anyone or messed up a good situation.

Thereby wasting the hard-earned intelligence Fang Yu had acquired.

"It's my fault..."

Snap.

No sooner had Che Linfang spoken than a hand was laid on her shoulder.

"Che Linfang, demon affairs are not our endpoint. Be mindful, don't fall behind midway. There aren't many I can trust by my side."

Che Linfang rejuvenated.

"Yes!"

Having completed his persuasion, Fang Yu withdrew his hand from Che Linfang's shoulder and turned around, "If there's nothing else, you may leave. You've worked hard today, go rest early."

If using the Red Bull identity, demons won't be of much help.

I'll have to do it myself.

While Fang Yu was thinking this, he noticed that Che Linfang hadn't left.

Turning around, he saw Che Linfang placing three pieces of paper on the desk.

"Diao Deyi, another matter, about those three humans you asked me to check, I have results. One of them is quite interesting."

Che Linfang pointed to the paper documenting Zhang Ziheng's details.

Fang Yu frowned slightly and picked up Zhang Ziheng's information to read.

Soon, his expression darkened.

"He has had several private meetings with Mi Hengpeng?"

"Yes."

Taking a deep breath, Fang Yu sat at the desk, tapping it lightly with his fingers while scrutinizing Zhang Ziheng's document, reading every word carefully.

Then, his brows slowly relaxed.

"It seems, this Zhang Ziheng, has been planted in my house by Mi Hengpeng."

Che Linfang remained silent, only making a throat-slashing gesture.

But to Che Linfang's astonishment, Fang Yu just smiled and shook his head slightly.

"It's not that serious. From Zhang Ziheng's resume, they have only started contacting each other recently, probably because Zhang is being blackmailed by Mi Hengpeng, which is why he works for him."

"But he has sent people to monitor you! If he discovers any flaws..."

Fang Yu waved his hand.

"Another's blade can also become our sword. Don't rush, I still don't know who's behind Mi Hengpeng, let Zhang Ziheng gather some info first. If it's nothing special, then you can..."

Fang Yu responded with a throat-slashing gesture.

However, Che Linfang clearly seemed displeased.

"Why the hassle, going round and round, your tactics are becoming more like those of humans!"
