C171 Assassination

These few days, Zhong Lu had been touring the scenery of the capital with Wang Zheng and the others, cutting in line whenever he wanted. Most importantly, when the officials in some places saw Zhong Lu, they would all have a face of reverence.

On this day, when Wang Zheng and the others just finished playing outside, Old Master Zhong called Wang Zheng over to the study room.

"Wang Zheng, you might not know the distribution of power in the capital, but you've provoked Liu Wanhe family this time, and they have some background. They're pretty capable in the capital, but I think it's better if you don't get into a conflict with them, I can help you negotiate."

Wang Zheng was startled, the Old Master Zhong had changed so much, it was probably Liu Wan He who found someone to talk to the Old Master, if not the Old Master would not have changed so much.

"Old Master, you have the final say on this matter. I'm not very familiar with the capital as well. It's fine as long as you feel like it's okay." Wang Zheng thought about it for a while and finally agreed. After all, the old man in the capital city was much more familiar with it than him, he knew what kind of people he could offend and what kind of people he could not offend.

Hearing that Wang Zheng had agreed, the old man laughed heartily. The old man had arranged a meeting with Wang Zheng in front of him, and only then did they begin to discuss things related to Chinese medicine.

That night, Wang Zheng followed the old man and went to meet him.

This time, the restaurant was reserved for Wang Zheng at the hotel he stayed at previously. When the manager saw Wang Zheng's embarrassed smile, he passionately brought Wang Zheng and the others to the reserved room.

The moment Wang Zheng and Old Master Zhong sat down, the private box's door was opened. A middle-aged man who seemed to be in high spirits, with a smile on his face, walked in with the Young Master Liu that was beaten into the hospital by Wang Zheng.

The moment he saw Wang Zheng, Young Master Liu's vicious eyes flashed with a hint of fear.

"Old Master Zhong, long time no see. Thank you so much for being so busy and still having such a headache over this child's matter." Liu Wan He was indeed a rich man, when he opened his mouth, he pushed everything onto his own son, as if he was beaten up and the one who suffered was Wang Zheng. Although Young Master Liu, who stood beside Liu Wan He was unhappy, he still lowered his head towards Old Master Zhong.

"Liu Wanhe, if it wasn't for that bastard who said that, I would definitely not have helped you. Wang Zheng is my savior, with my personality back then, the Liu Family definitely wouldn't have been able to survive in the capital." Old Master Zhong did not look good when he spoke to Liu Wanhe. After all, if not for someone speaking up for Liu Wanhe, he would not have let things go so easily.

Liu Wan He smiled, then laughed and extended his hand out towards Wang Zheng: "It's my pleasure to meet you, I never thought that Mr Wang and Elder Zhong's relationship would be so good, my son is too blind, to actually provoke you, this is all a misunderstanding, I will represent me and apologize to you."

Wang Zheng raised his eyebrows, this Liu Wanhe did indeed have some ability to survive in the capital. His son's wrist was broken by him, yet he was still able to apologize to him with a smile.

"Since it's a misunderstanding, then there's nothing to say. Since Old Master Zhong has spoken, let's sit down and have a good meal!" Wang Zheng was not a greedy person. He seemed to see Zhuo Wei's figure on this Liu Wanhe, and it might even be his first step into the capital. Therefore, Wang Zheng did not want to pursue this matter too much.

Looking at his father's humble appearance, Young Master Liu clenched his teeth before turning to Wang Zheng with a bitter face, "Mr Wang, it's all my fault this time. Please forgive me."

Liu Wanhe's face darkened. He turned around and ruthlessly slapped Young Master Liu on the face, "Little bastard, is this the attitude of apologizing? If it wasn't for Elder Zhong showing his face this time, you wouldn't even know how you died."

Young Master Liu looked at his father with a wronged expression. He really couldn't understand why his father was so concerned with his father, since his father would disappear from this world very soon. What was his father afraid of?

"Elder Zhong, Mr Wang, don't bother with me, this little bastard. Sooner or later, I will break his dog legs."

Wang Zheng didn't really care about the attitude of this Young Master Liu, since he had been interrupted by him. If he did not show any reaction now, Wang Zheng would really suspect that this Young Master Liu was an innate idiot.

"Alright, don't affect the mood for the meal." Old Master Zhong snorted in dissatisfaction.

When they were eating, Liu Wan He was quite passionate towards Wang Zheng, as he completely treated Wang Zheng as his father. This instead caused Wang Zheng to have a bad feeling in his heart.

After they finished eating, Liu Wan and left with Young Master Liu as an excuse. Both of them sat in the carriage and did not speak for a long time, until Old Master Zhong looked at Wang Zheng and asked in a low voice: "Did you feel that something was amiss?"

Wang Zheng smiled and nodded his head, previously, he just felt that Liu Wanhe's performance was not right, but because he did not interact too much with Liu Wan, Wang Zheng did not know whether he was right or wrong, but now that Old Master Zhong had spoken, the unsettled feeling in Wang Zheng's heart was growing stronger.

"Stop the car!" Wang Zheng frowned and suddenly called out, but the driver acted as if he did not hear anything, and continued to drive. Old Master Zhong's face was ashen, he berated the driver, but the driver acted like a puppet and did not react at all.

Wang Zheng immediately saw the driver's face turn green, his eyes bloodshot, as if his eyeballs were going to pop out. The veins on his hands were popping out, and there was a black dagger stuck in his chest, if one did not look carefully, he would not be able to see it.

"Something has happened!" Wang Zheng subconsciously felt that something was amiss, he opened the car door and jumped out along with Old Master Zhong.

Boom!" Before Wang Zheng and Old Master Zhong even landed on the ground, the car suddenly exploded, and the powerful shockwave directly knocked away Wang Zheng and Old Master Zhong. Fortunately, Wang Zheng had condensed his Qi and protected himself and Old Master Zhong the moment he jumped off the car, otherwise, the explosive power would have taken away Old Master Zhong's little life.

Swoosh swoosh swoosh. Just as he landed, Wang Zheng heard a slight rustling sound beside his ear.

"Let's go." Wang Zheng pushed Old Master Zhong away, and actually caught the incoming black darts with his right hand, but since the opponent's target was Old Master Zhong, he would definitely not let it go so easily. In the next moment, seven or eight shadows came out from the forest and rushed towards Old Master Zhong.

"Yang Family's Gun!" Wang Zheng bellowed, the Yang Family's Gun in his hand appeared, the spear shot out like a dragon descending to the world, crackling lightning bolts surrounded the spear's body, Wang Zheng had to increase his Qi cultivation and the usage of Qi, and very quickly, Wang Zheng discovered that the Qi in his body could actually change his own attribute, this flashing electric flower was the new usage of Qi.

The Yang Family's Gun flew out, and along the way, flashes of lightning flew past the assassins like a ray of silver light. Those assassins didn't even make a sound before throwing away the blade in their hands, falling straight to the ground, their bodies constantly twitching.

"Come out!" Wang Zheng frowned, he rushed forward and grabbed the Yang Family's Gun, then turned and stabbed it towards the big tree not far away. The moment the tip of the spear touched the big tree, the entire tree was surrounded by electric arcs, and in the blink of an eye, it was turned into charcoal, and a black shadow jumped down from the tree.
