Seeing the unfamiliar mobile number, Cheng Xiaofan couldn't help but be slightly stunned. Who would call him so early?
He pressed the answer button and asked, "Hello, who is this?"
Immediately, a slightly hoarse voice came from the other end of the phone, "May I ask, are you Mr. Cheng Xiaofan?"
Cheng Xiaofan replied, "Yes, I am Cheng Xiaofan!"
The old man said, "Mr. Cheng, did you post a bounty on the Jianghu Forum to find the mastermind behind the poisoning in Zhuxi Village, instigated by Yu Tian?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "That's right, old man. That post was indeed made by me."
The old man said, "Mr. Cheng, I'm calling to tell you that this mastermind is none other than the head of the hidden aristocratic family in Jiangcheng, Wu Tianfu!"
Wu Tianfu?
The name sounded completely unfamiliar to Cheng Xiaofan.
He didn't know this person at all. Why would someone try to harm him from behind the scenes?
"I'm not familiar with Wu Tianfu. Why would he instruct Yu Tian to poison Zhuxi Village?" Cheng Xiaofan asked, filled with confusion.
The person immediately said, "Mr. Cheng, although you don't know Wu Tianfu, you should know his son, Wu Chengli, right?"
Cheng Xiaofan had a remarkable memory.
Hearing the name Wu Chengli, a flash went through his mind.
He suddenly remembered that at Nanshan Lake, Wu Chengli, who claimed to be from a hidden aristocratic family in Jiangcheng, had caused trouble with a group of thugs.
At that time, it was his "White Goddess" who had crippled Wu Chengli's knees, and he himself had blinded the other party.
He hadn't expected that Wu Tianfu would have the death cultivator Yu Tian take action to avenge his son.
Cheng Xiaofan said to the old man on the phone, "Old man, I have a deep impression of Wu Chengli, whom you mentioned. I was the one who crippled him."
"Cough, cough!"
The old man coughed and said, "Mr. Cheng, Wu Tianfu and Yu Tian have fallen into your hands, and you have already posted a bounty on the Jianghu Forum."
"Wu Tianfu is worried that you will take severe action against him once you find him. Since last night, he has entrusted his nephew Wu Chengfeng and others to liquidate all his family's assets, and he has fled to the United States with his family overnight."
"What, Wu Tianfu escaped?"
Cheng Xiaofan was stunned and said, "Old man, how can you be so clear about Wu Tianfu's family affairs?"
The old man, coughing and speaking, said, "Mr. Cheng, to be honest, I am a servant of the Wu family, so naturally, I know Wu Tianfu's affairs very well!"
Cheng Xiaofan could tell that the old man was not lying.
He immediately said, "Old man, give me your bank card number, and I will immediately transfer the hundred million yuan reward to you!"
Who would have thought!
The old man coughed and said, "Mr. Cheng, I am not calling you for your bounty. I am a poor man. If you give me so much money, I won't have the lifespan to spend it."
"I won't take a single cent from you!"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Old man, if I'm not mistaken, your persistent coughing is caused by internal injuries, isn't it?"
"You have two broken ribs and a damaged lumbar spine. These are old internal injuries from long-term torment!"
"Furthermore, you seem to have sustained new injuries; your left leg is also broken."
The old man was shocked and asked, "Ah, Mr. Cheng, how do you know these things?"
Cheng Xiaofan said, "Old man, people call me a divine doctor. I can tell from your voice."
The old man was dumbfounded.
In his entire life, he had never heard of anyone being able to discern injuries from someone's voice, even being able to determine if two critical ribs were broken.
Was such a miraculous thing possible in this world!
It was simply unbelievable!
"Old man, tell me, who inflicted this new injury on you?"
The old man sighed and said, "Who else could it be but that Wu Tianfu? He kicked me heavily as he was fleeing!"
Cheng Xiaofan immediately realized that Wu Tianfu had set another insidious trap for the old man before escaping.
"Old man, are you in Jiangcheng? Send me your address, and I'll be there immediately to help you heal your injuries."
"Mr. Cheng, thank you for your kind intentions. My injuries are beyond cure, and I don't have many days left to live!" The old man's tone conveyed a sense of utter helplessness and sorrow.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled faintly and said, "Old man, listen to me. I am a divine doctor, and I can definitely cure you."
"Besides, even if you don't think for yourself, you must think for your loved ones around you!"
The old man was clearly moved and said, "Alright, I'll send you the location!"
After hanging up the phone, not long after, Cheng Xiaofan received the location sent by the old man.
Cheng Xiaofan immediately returned home.
Bai Yiling and the others were having breakfast.
"Xiaofan, you're back!"
Bai Yiling greeted him. "Did you deliver the medicine to Wang Ying and Mu Lihua?"
Cheng Xiaofan nodded and said, "I delivered the medicine to them. After breakfast, I have to go on a trip to Jiangcheng."
Tang Guoxing served Cheng Xiaofan a bowl of chicken soup noodles.
As he ate, Cheng Xiaofan said, "The mastermind who instructed Yu Tian to poison Zhuxi Village has been found. I need to go and settle it."
"Who is this person? Why are they so wicked?" Bai Yiling asked.
Cheng Xiaofan smiled slightly and said, "Do you remember that person named Wu Chengli who caused trouble with a group of people at Nanshan Lake, had his knees crippled by you, and his eyes blinded by me?"
Bai Yiling immediately said, "I remember. This Wu Chengli is from Jiangcheng. Could he be the one who instructed Yu Tian to come and poison us?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled, "Wu Chengli is already crippled. How could he have the ability to instruct the death cultivator Yu Tian to come and poison us? It was his father, Wu Tianfu, who did it."
"However, I received a call saying that Wu Tianfu, upon learning that Yu Tian had fallen into my hands, was terrified of me coming to settle the score and fled to the United States last night."
Shen Ruobing asked curiously, "Master, since Wu Tianfu has already fled to the United States, what's the point of you going to Jiangcheng?"
Cheng Xiaofan chuckled and said, "Although Wu Tianfu has escaped, he has left a loose end in Jiangcheng that I have to deal with!"
He didn't explain what this loose end was.
No one pressed further.
After finishing the noodles in his bowl, Cheng Xiaofan took a napkin, wiped his mouth, and stood up, saying, "White Goddess, everyone, please enjoy your meal. I'm leaving!"
Bai Yiling said, "Xiaofan, go ahead!"
As Cheng Xiaofan walked out the door, the Po Tian Eagle, which had sensed his presence, had already flown from the back mountain and was waiting in the courtyard outside the villa.
The Po Tian Eagle took off as soon as it saw him.
Cheng Xiaofan leaped up and landed on the Po Tian Eagle in mid-air.
