Chapter 236: Chapter 198: Liu Wu, the Most Suspicious

’So mysterious...’

’Boss, you’d better not let this plan fall through in the end.’

’If it does, I’ll definitely have a good laugh at your expense.’

Just as Liu Lang was grumbling to himself, a burly man in black clothes walked over and said in a low voice, "It’s time."

Liu Lang glanced at him, dropped the tea he was holding, and stood up to follow him upstairs.

They made their way to a quiet room deep within the top floor.

The moment he walked in, Liu Lang let out an involuntary, loud whistle.

"Brother Black Tooth, you’ve got quite the full house tonight."

Inside the spacious, quiet room, besides Black Tooth and Lou Yuxue, there were over fifty other black-clad men of varying heights.

Twice as many as last time.

Clearly, Black Tooth hadn’t been idle these past few days.

Liu Lang, completely unconcerned about exposing his identity, joked around before taking a seat and asking:

"Looks like we’re making our move tonight?"

Black Tooth shot him a glance, his tone as cold as ever as he asked:

"You’re the only one here? Where’s Liu Wu?"

Liu Lang spread his hands. "I don’t know either."

"But before I came, I reported to him that you were gathering everyone."

"He just said he’d be a little late, mentioning that a distinguished guest also wanted to come along and have a look."

A flicker of light in Black Tooth’s eyes. "A distinguished guest?"

At that moment, Lou Yuxue, who was standing to the side, spoke up. "Perhaps it’s that Young Master Liu. I heard he had a conflict with that young mistress at the Fengchun Building today."

Black Tooth thought for a moment, then nodded. "That would be for the best."

Lou Yuxue glanced at him and said hesitantly, "Time is short. Why don’t you start making arrangements first, Elder?"

"Very well."

However, an hour passed.

Black Tooth had finished assigning personnel to each of the Three Towns, but still, there was no sign of Liu Wu.

He frowned, staring at Liu Lang. "Are you sure you passed the message to Brother Liu Wu?"

Seeing the menacing glint in his eyes, Liu Lang grinned. "You should know that I can’t control the comings and goings of a Medical Saint Hand."

The words had barely left his lips when Elder Demon Jia, not far away, let out a sinister chuckle.

"Well, he is a Medical Saint Hand. It’s understandable if he’s a bit arrogant."

"Besides, we all saw him take down Elder Demon Fang with poison the other day. With poison Skills like that, which rival even the Five Poison Sect of old, it’s only normal for him to have a strange temper."

Someone nearby shook their head. "That may be so, but business doesn’t wait. We can’t let one person jeopardize the entire operation, can we?"

"Exactly. Cang Lang Town is far away. Even with Black Tooth leading the way, it’ll take six hours."

"Heh heh, so arrogant..."

Seeing the dissatisfaction among these Evil Demons, Lou Yuxue suggested, "Elder, why don’t we assign Liu Wu to one of the other two towns?"

"You can take Elder Demon Jia and the others to the outskirts of Cang Lang Town first. We don’t want any unexpected problems from being late."

Black Tooth glanced at her and nodded slowly. "Let’s do that, then."

Then, he stood up and gestured to several Evil Demons in the room. "Those assigned to Cang Lang and Profound Armor Towns, head out first."

Lou Yuxue understood his intention and said with a charming laugh, "How thoughtful of you, Elder. Sending that Liu Wu to the closest town, Iron Wall Town, is the most suitable arrangement~"

Liu Lang also nodded. "Makes sense."

Black Tooth ignored them both. After giving his orders, he led his men out of the Spring Rain Building.

Just before leaving, he instructed Lou Yuxue to wait for an hour at most.

Lou Yuxue readily agreed, then continued to wait in the quiet room with Liu Lang and the others.

But after another hour, with the hour of the Pig approaching, there was still no sign of Liu Wu.

Lou Yuxue immediately stood up and walked out. "We’re not waiting any longer!"

The unexpected situation deepened her suspicions about Liu Wu, and she had a faint, bad feeling.

But the arrow was already on the bowstring; she had no choice but to act. She couldn’t come up with any other countermeasures.

Seeing this, Liu Lang couldn’t say much either and could only follow the others out of the Spring Rain Building.

It wasn’t until they were outside the South City gate, where Lou Yuxue found the fast horses waiting for them, that she noticed something was amiss in their surroundings.

"Who’s there?"

A light laugh drifted from the distance. "The distinguished guest has arrived. I’ve kept you all waiting."

"Liu Wu?"
