Chapter 56: close the door
Chapter 56 Closing the door
Chen Fei's expression couldn't help but change, but he didn't panic. Instead, he asked the little boy to enter the courtyard and close the door.
"Do you know where Uncle Chi is now?" Chen Fei asked, sitting opposite the little boy.
I dont know, even Uncle Chi didnt come to see me today.
The little boy licked the remaining candied fruit on his fingers and said, "Uncle Chi said that if he doesn't come to me one day, let me come to you and tell you to run away."
Youre so good, this is for you!
Chen Fei took out a tael of broken silver. The little boy's eyes widened and he quickly hid the tael in his arms. After bowing and thanking Chen Fei, he skipped away.
In the courtyard, Chen Fei slowly frowned.
This child should be a last resort left by Chi Defeng to warn Chen Fei. Unexpectedly, he actually used it. The key now is who caught Chi Defeng.
In the past month, Chen Fei has been quietly practicing in his house. Except for going out occasionally, he has not had any conflicts with anyone. Chi Defeng also lived in seclusion, and at most he helped Chen Fei buy some medicinal materials.
Is it still the Qianshui Gang?
Chen Fei remembered that a month ago, he was targeted by gangs for selling elixirs. If there were any suspicions, it would probably be the Qianshui Gang who had the biggest suspicion.
Its just that they all took the initiative to hide, but the Qianshui Gang still keeps chasing them?
Chen Fei returned to the alchemy room, packed up all the things, and placed them in the space grid. For safety reasons, this courtyard can no longer be inhabited.
A quarter of an hour later, Chen Fei eliminated all traces in the courtyard and left.
What news do you need, sir?
Want to find someone.
In a house in an alley, Chen Fei was wearing a bamboo hat, covering most of his face.
This is the place where Xingfen City specializes in asking for information. As long as you give enough money, you can find out most of the not-so-secret information. There are several such spots in Xingfen City.
Chen Fei was not sure whether he could be helped here, so he could only come here with the attitude of giving it a try.
Can you please describe the characteristics of this person?
Chen Fei briefly talked about Chi Defeng's appearance after his disguise, but did not leave any portraits or anything like that. The main reason is that Chen Fei doesn't have high trust in such a place.
They can sell information to you, and they can also sell your information to others.
Sir, wait a moment, Ill have someone check it out.
Lets do it now, little one!
The visitor bowed and gave instructions in the back hall, and someone immediately walked out. It has an ordinary appearance and will disappear when thrown into a crowd, which is perfect for stalking others.
Go.
The shopkeeper glanced at the person and nodded with satisfaction.
The man had a flattering smile on his face, bowed to the shopkeeper, and then left the shop.
Another sum of money has been credited to the account.
The shopkeeper couldn't help but smile on his face. He leaned back comfortably on the chair, picked up the teacup, and drank the tea in one gulp. Integrity? What is that thing? Is it worth the money?
The shopkeeper got up, hummed a few tunes casually, stood up, and wanted to relieve himself. Suddenly, a loud shout came from the back hall, but it stopped abruptly after a moment.
The shopkeeper's expression changed slightly, his nose twitched slightly, and a smell of blood floated into his nose.
At this moment, the shopkeeper's expression really changed. There were several experts in the bone-forging realm in the back hall, but they were silent at this moment.
The shopkeeper was in the meat training realm, so he didn't dare to stay any longer. Just as he was about to run away, he saw someone walking out of the back hall.
"It's you"
The shopkeeper looked at Chen Fei as if he had seen something strange.
Chen Fei glanced at the shopkeeper, then stepped forward and closed the door of the shop with an indifferent expression, and the entire shop suddenly fell into darkness. Only the faint light coming from the crack of the door shone on the shopkeeper's face, showing a mottled appearance.
When Chen Fei closed the door, the shopkeeper wanted to run away, but his legs seemed to be filled with lead, and they were so heavy that he couldn't move them at all.
"what are you up to!"
The shopkeeper swallowed his saliva, pointed at Chen Fei, and growled in a low voice, but his trembling fingers could not harden.
"You just said you wouldn't sell me the news, but you broke your promise." Chen Fei looked at the shopkeeper and shook his head.
Do you know who is behind this store? If anything happens, we can discuss it!
Looking at Chen Fei's attitude, the shopkeeper's eyes widened in fear, and he planned to use the support behind him to stabilize Chen Fei.
And the shopkeeper didnt lie. A place where news is bought and sold like this is inherently offending. If the backend is not strong enough, this store will not be able to gain a foothold in Xingfen City.
Chen Fei nodded. Just as a smile appeared on the shopkeeper's face, the next moment, a cold light lit up in the room.
The shopkeeper's body stiffened, his heart was pierced, and his eyes were fixed on Chen Fei, who looked at him expressionlessly.
The shopkeeper's hand dropped to the side helplessly. As long as Chen Fei moved forward a little further, he could activate the mechanism under the counter. But Chen Fei was standing not far away.
