"Running quite fast... But how do I determine whether you’re telling the truth or lying?"

Thud!

Fa Hongwen knelt down directly.

"Master! Our Forest Snake Gang is loyal to the Foolish Underworld, how dare we deceive you!"

Rustle.

As Fa Hongwen knelt, the gang members behind him also all knelt down.

This was ordered beforehand, and they dared not disobey.

After all, even Lord Hall Master is not their match, Mr. Diao has fled, how could they dare to confront such a monster head-on?

Not to mention... In Thunder City, opposing the Foolish Underworld is suicidal! Throughout history, apart from the Rebel Army, who can survive under the Foolish Underworld’s watch?

"Tell me everything you know. Dare to conceal even a little..."

Zang Sanqian turned his head abruptly to the side before finishing.

Then, a figure suddenly emerged from the darkness.

"Zang Sanqian, have you caught him yet?"

The figure in the darkness was illuminated by the people’s torchlight.

With just one glance, Fa Hongwen lowered his head again, his heart pounding wildly.

Because the newcomer was none other than...

"Greetings, Ming Hall Master of the Foolish Underworld, Lord Jin!"

Fa Hongwen shouted loudly with his head down, his face covered in cold sweat.

Diao Keqing, how capable, brought on the investigation of two Hall Masters of the Foolish Underworld at once?!!

This is truly a death wish!! 𝐟𝕣𝗲𝕖𝕨𝗲𝐛𝗻𝗼𝐯𝗲𝚕.𝗰𝚘𝐦

The entire Forest Snake Gang, not to mention the Hall Master, even the Foolish Underworld’s Captain wouldn’t dare provoke so much trouble, yet Diao Keqing stirred up two of them, now they’re after him, if you don’t flee who will?

"Were you the fastest to arrive... huh!"

Zang Sanqian sneered, seemingly implying something.

Jinfang Zai did not respond.

He indeed stayed relatively close to Song Zhenrong’s residence to handle the Rebel Army’s base—naturally, for the ability to reach the scene promptly when news came.

Compared to other Hall Masters, his hatred with a certain someone is the deepest.

"The Rebel Army traitor who deceived Song Zhenrong is named Diao Deyi, he’s been lurking within the Forest Snake Gang, sharp as hell, worthy of a Rebel Army traitor. Even before I arrived, he’s already fled. But this is only the Forest Snake Gang’s account, I still need to thoroughly investigate this place to see if he’s hiding somewhere."

Rebel Army... Rebel Army traitor?!

Fa Hongwen listened to the conversation between the two, almost blacking out.

The master he relied on was actually affiliated with the Rebel Army, now certainly even jumping into a river can’t clear him!

Yet his mind worked quickly, and he suddenly spoke.

"Really! Really, a Rebel Army traitor, huh! I always suspected Diao Deyi had problems! And his wife is even a traitor among traitors, ruthlessly wicked, what a joke calling her a Divine Doctor!"

"His wife?"

Zang Sanqian and Jinfang Zai were shocked.

Fa Hongwen quickly realized too, and hope for survival ignited within him.

"Don’t the two masters know? Diao Deyi always had his wife with him! His wife is none other than the recently infamous Ding Hui, Ding the traitor! I heard about this woman’s news, her medical skills are eerie, her sudden return to Thunder City must be to serve the Rebel Army!"

Ding Hui?

That oddball among doctors?

Zang Sanqian and Jinfang Zai exchanged glances.

They indeed had heard about Ding Hui’s reputation, even more than the obscure Diao Deyi, Ding Hui was someone recognizable.

"So it’s her..."

"So it’s her... Could Diao Deyi be an expert she brought back to cause trouble?"

Various speculations arose in both their minds as their focus shifted from Fang Yu to Ding Hui.

After all, they and Fang Yu hadn’t really crossed paths, but Ding Hui was somewhat familiar.

Initially when Ding Hui was becoming famous in Thunder City, they considered recruiting her into the Foolish Underworld.

But later Ding Hui left Thunder City, that’s another matter.

Unexpectedly, absent for several years, her return stirred up chaos.

Previously, hearing news of Ding Hui, they simply thought she was unable to sustain herself outside and returned to Thunder City to live.

"Her return might be the result of years of planning, aiming for something significant..."

"Even that expert willingly follows her orders... Must not be underestimated!"

The two Hall Masters felt more alert, but also more enlightened.

Originally, they thought their opponent was a completely unknown presence, a suddenly emerging Rebel Army expert.

But now, they realized it was just a henchman summoned by Ding Hui.

The focus shifted, no longer on the henchman alone, but the brain behind the operations.

"For years, there’s been no news of Ding Hui, perhaps she was secretly in contact with someone in Thunder City, perhaps her return aligns with the Rebel Army’s rise!" Jinfang Zai said coldly.

"Tracing Diao Deyi is hard, but Ding Hui’s trail is traceable." Zang Sanqian responded.

But for now, prioritize checking whether the two are still in the Forest Snake Gang.

"I’ll go search, you stay and interrogate them." Zang Sanqian said, vanishing into the night, followed by the sound of buildings being blown up.

"..."

Jinfang Zai also wanted to search, but thought it over, he stayed behind to start questioning.

Fa Hongwen, naturally, was forthcoming, divulging everything except details unfavorable to him, essentially spilling it all. Most importantly, he completely exempted himself in his words.
