Chapter 371: Strange Attitude
Many of the traps outside the courtyard had been destroyed. Feng Lun went to investigate personally.
A subordinate took out the dead mountain rats from the destroyed traps. “Third Master, it seems like the traps were destroyed by these mountain rats.”
Looking at the mountain rats that were thrown to the ground and then at the destroyed trap, Feng Lun narrowed her eyes.
Was it really a mountain rat?
However, if it wasn’t a mountain rat, there seemed to be no other explanation.
It didn’t seem like they would do such a thing if they were guests at the Feng Family.
However, mountain rats…
This was a forest, and there were many mountain rats.
There was usually no problem, so why did an accident happen last night?
“Clean up and rearrange!”
The five or six subordinates who came over to check together answered in unison, “Yes, Third Master!”
“Also, from today onwards, take turns to patrol every night. Watch carefully during the day too. Don’t let anyone get close to here!”
Everyone acknowledged.
The gunshot wound on Feng Lun’s body was not completely healed, but his leg was not injured. It did not affect him when he walked, but the injuries on his body were not completely healed. His face still looked a little pale and his skills were not as good as when he was at his peak.
A woman followed him back to the courtyard.
This woman was the person who had appeared in North City and was waiting for him outside the resort farm.
She was like Feng Lun’s assistant. Her name was Feng Chun.
“Third Master, should we let that gentleman know about this?”
“Although it’s possible to use mountain rats to explain this, I still think it’s a little far-fetched. It happened on the night those two people arrived in the Feng Family. Isn’t it too much of a coincidence?”
Feng Lun’s eyes turned sharp. “Invite Sir over. Tell him that I have something to discuss with him.”
“Yes.”
“By the way, Third Master, you said that you wanted to contact the Jones Family to bring Mr. Jones back when it was inconvenient for him to go overseas back then. Do you still want to continue this matter? The Jones Family sent news last night that Bo Lang had returned to the Jones Family. If Mr. Jones still doesn’t go back, Bo Lang will probably seize his power step by step.”
Lind Jones failed to resolve the person after scheming for three years but instead returned with injuries. He didn’t know why Sir liked him. Because it was very obvious to go overseas, he had to bring him back to the Feng Family to recuperate!
He was still lying in bed recuperating. How could he help?
He would only be a burden!
“Let’s postpone this for now so that those two people won’t notice anything!”
“Yes.”
***
The sound of wheels rolling came from the living room of the building in front of Feng Lun’s courtyard. A young man pushed a wheelchair in.
The man sitting in the wheelchair exuded a cold and dangerous aura. It was Liu Guang.
“Are you looking for me?”
The young man pushing him was wearing a white t-shirt and jeans. He was expressionless and looked very delicate. He was about 20 years old and looked harmless. He looked like a big boy next door.
In fact, when he looked up, his eyes were filled with strong killing intent. Those who were timid would shiver when he looked at them like this.
Feng Chun was not timid as she worked for Feng Lun, but when she met his gaze, she felt her limbs turn cold and her scalp tingle.
She didn’t dare to look at him.
This person was Hei Yao.
Feng Lun stood up. “Yes.”
“I told Sir last night that ‘Chi’ and ‘Mei’ are now in the Feng Family. You asked me to wait and see first, but just last night, many of the traps in the forest outside the courtyard were destroyed. It seems like mountain rats happened to trigger the traps, but I still think that this matter might be related to them.”
“I already know about this. Your guess is reasonable, but it’s unlikely that they did it.”
Feng Lun was puzzled.
Liu Guang raised his hand and Hei Yao pushed him into the living room expressionlessly.
He continued, “You’ve underestimated their determination to kill me. If it’s really them, they’ll definitely investigate to the end since they sensed that there’s something abnormal here. They won’t give up halfway.”
“Could it be that they didn’t barge in because they felt that they weren’t confident? After all, this is our territory and they only have two people. Be it manpower or anything else, we have the advantage.”
“We can’t rule out that possibility, but the possibility of them doing so is still not high.”
“I nurtured those two people, especially No. 99. I know very well how bold she is, how capable she is, and how she does things. If it’s really them, since they realized that there was something abnormal here, they definitely won’t retreat just like that.”
Hei Yao said nothing.
But he was thinking. That was before.
The current her was no longer the carefree one she was in the past. Now that she had someone she wanted to spend the rest of her life with, she would no longer ignore everything.
Moreover, they had other things to do when they came to the Feng Family this time. Before that, they would not act rashly.
However, Hei Yao did not say that.
He said nothing.
“However, it’s better to be safe than sorry. After all, they have left Ghost Slaughter Island for more than three years. No one knows if there have been any changes in them during these three years. Let’s strengthen our defense.”
A killing intent suddenly appeared in his eyes. “Since they’re here, we must make sure they don’t go back this time!”
“As long as we get rid of No. 99, the others will be easy to deal with.”
It isn’t going to be that easy, Feng Lun thought.
The other three were not pushovers either.
One of them was the current head of the Min Family, and the other was the daughter of the Huo Family. Not only was Huo Xuan behind her, but also her fiancé, Qin Hao.
They were not alone now.
However, Feng Lun didn’t say that.
“I’ll follow Sir’s arrangements.”
“Let’s wait and put aside the matter of sending Jones back to Country Y for now so as to avoid alerting the enemy.”
“But I heard that the illegitimate son of the Jones Family has already returned. What if he takes the opportunity to seize power…”
“Seize power?” Liu Guang sneered, “The Jones Family isn’t a small family and they value orthodoxy the most. Not only is that boy an illegitimate son, but he’s also still wet behind the ears. How can it be so easy to seize power?”
“Tell the Jones Family to keep an eye on him. As for the Bo Family…”
“I hate betrayal the most in my life. Since that illegitimate son of the Jones Family dared to change sides at the last minute and he cares about the Bo Family, I should teach him a lesson.”
“The Jones Family is already doing this. The Jones Family has already attacked the Bo Family. However, it seems like someone is secretly helping the Bo Family. The Jones Family’s power is gathered in Country Y, so they don’t have much of an advantage in this country. They couldn’t get any benefits from the other party, so the Jones Family retreated and didn’t continue to attack the Bo Family,” Hei Yao, who had been silent, said.
He spoke without any emotions and was just narrating the truth.
When Liu Guang heard that, the dangerous aura on him intensified. He turned back and asked, “Is someone helping the Bo Family secretly?”
“Yes,” Hei Yao replied.
Liu Guang most probably understood his personality and didn’t ask further. He looked at Feng Lun inquiringly.
Feng Lun saw this and frowned imperceptibly.
So Sir was actually so indulgent to Hei Yao. He had learned skills from Sir since he was three years old. He had only seen Hei Yao dare to be so impudent in front of Sir.
Perhaps Sir was so tolerant of Hei Yao because he had saved Sir from Ghost Slaughter Island?
Other than that, he couldn’t think of any other possibility.
“I’ve heard about this too. From what Jones said, it seems like Bo Lang has reached an agreement with the other party. The Empire Group and the Huo Corporation are secretly helping the Bo Family at the same time. The Jones Family doesn’t have much power in the country, so naturally, they can’t beat these two big companies.”
“The Huo Corporation? Huo Xuan is also involved?” Liu Guang’s eyes turned sharp.
At this moment, Hei Yao spoke again, “This isn’t strange. ‘Liang’ is Huo Xuan’s biological sister. He naturally won’t be indifferent if we want to kill his biological sister.”
Liu Guang turned back to look at him again. This time, his gaze was filled with appraisal, “Yao’er, why do I feel that you’re always speaking up for them?”
“I know you used to be on good terms with them, but don’t forget your identity. I don’t want you to disappoint me too.”
“Do you think I’m speaking up for them?” Without waiting for Liu Guang to reply, he said, “If you really think so, then so be it. It’s up to you.”
“I wonder who your stubborn temper resembles.”
Hei Yao was still expressionless as he looked at him. “Who do you think I resemble?”
Liu Guang stopped talking and stared at Hei Yao for a moment before retracting his gaze.
No one knew what he was thinking.
Hei Yao rarely spoke, regardless of whether Liu Guang was present or not, so Feng Lun was very shocked to see him actually dare to speak to Liu Guang like this.
However, Sir was not angry with Hei Yao even with his temper.
Feng Lun couldn’t help but look at Hei Yao again.
Why did he feel that Sir treated Hei Yao better than Liu Yu?
Liu Yu was clearly Sir’s biological son.
“Sir, then we…”
“Let’s wait for my arrangements first.” After saying that, Liu Guang raised his hand and Hei Yao pushed the wheelchair out of the living room.
From the beginning to the end, Hei Yao never looked at Feng Lun.
Looking at their backs as they left, Feng Lun’s expression darkened. “Yes.”
After they left completely, Feng Chun said hesitantly, “Third Master, why do I feel that Sir seems to treat Mr. Hei Yao differently from others? Young Master Liu Yu doesn’t even dare to speak like this in front of Sir.”
Feng Lun glanced at her and Feng Chun quickly shut up.
Yes, since she could tell, Third Master naturally could too.
“Then, Third Master, are we really not doing anything now and just waiting?”
“Of course not.”
Feng Lun’s eyes darkened. “Find an opportunity to meet the two guests at home!”

At the same time, Yan Jinyu and Xi Fengling had already washed up and gone downstairs. They sat in the simple living room and were playing games on their phones.
They teamed up to play games.
They waited for Feng Qin to come downstairs.
When Feng Qin went downstairs, she saw that the two of them were already sitting in the living room. They seemed to have been sitting there for a long time, so she was a little embarrassed. “I’m sorry to have kept you waiting. I’ve been busy with work. It’s rare for me to have time to rest, so I woke up late.”
Actually, it wasn’t just because she was usually busy with work and didn’t have time to rest. Her insomnia last night was also an important factor.
“It’s fine.” Yan Jinyu looked up from the phone screen and smiled at her. “We’re here to play anyway. It doesn’t matter where we play. As long as we’re not bored.”
As she spoke, the game in her hand continued.
Xi Fengling didn’t say anything and just smiled at Feng Qin.
