"The opportunity has arrived."
Li Yang saw the first batch of patrols enter the sniper's blind spot. In an instant, he swooped down from a distant building, arriving ahead of the sniper's blind spot and hiding behind a wall.
The patrolling group did not detect Li Yang's presence. They gradually approached from afar, their footsteps reaching Li Yang's ears.
Just as they rounded the wall, checked around finding nothing unusual, and were about to return, Li Yang silently appeared behind them. He instantly flicked out a Golden Light Finger, striking the throat of the last patrol member.
As the man fell, Li Yang quickly ran over, supported him, and dragged him to the side.
"Brother, I apologize, but I need to borrow your clothes."
Li Yang stripped off his clothes on the spot, put them on, and quickly ran out, catching up to the patrols and successfully blending into their ranks.
Now, even when walking within the sniper's range, no one noticed anything unusual about Li Yang.
He easily followed the other patrols to the entrance. Seeing the second batch of patrols moving forward, they had a short break time to drink water or use the restroom.
Li Yang, under the guise of needing to use the restroom, initially headed towards the washroom. However, upon reaching the lobby of the Chongtian Tower's side entrance, he suddenly flashed his figure when no one was paying attention, vanishing before their eyes.
Wearing a ninja outfit, he walked inside the Chongtian Tower. Even if he encountered security personnel, they would only assume he was Mr. Ku Teng's personal guard.
Ordinary security guards would even bow respectfully upon seeing a ninja.
Li Yang nodded to them all, easily blending into the elevator area and taking it directly to the top floor to find Ku Teng.
When he entered earlier, he had personally seen that woman enter the Chongtian Tower. This indicated that the woman indeed had a very deep connection with Ku Teng.
A moment later, Li Yang emerged from the elevator and arrived at Ku Teng's office. Just as he reached the door, he heard the conversation between a man and a woman coming from inside.
"Miss Zaoda, Mr. Ku Teng has asked you to wait here for a moment. He will come to see you once he finishes his current tasks," a male subordinate said respectfully to her.
"Alright, you may go about your business. I know my uncle is very busy, and it's fine to wait here. However, I heard that your China has many delicious snacks. I was in a hurry when I arrived and haven't eaten anything. Perhaps you could prepare some food for me first?" Zaoda Fengchun said with a smile.
"Certainly, Miss Zaoda. I'll go right away."
The subordinate respectfully agreed and immediately departed to find food for Zaoda Fengchun.
Zaoda Fengchun was a female treasure appraiser and a master of ninjutsu personally invited by Ku Teng from Sakura Country. She was the youngest genius of treasure appraisal and ninjutsu in Sakura Country.
Ku Teng's operations in China had encountered obstacles, so he specifically invited her to deal with Li Yang.
Little did he know, Li Yang was currently hiding outside the door, constantly monitoring Zaoda Fengchun inside.
This young girl looked about the same age as Li Yang, with an exquisite appearance and a perfect figure. After Li Yang evaded the male subordinate's gaze from outside, he once again turned his eyes inside, secretly observing the woman's every move, searching for her weaknesses.
"This woman indeed has a close relationship with Ku Teng. Ku Teng, that old scoundrel, can barely protect himself. Why did he call her over?"
Li Yang scratched the back of his head outside the door, asking himself in confusion.
Before long, Ku Teng, accompanied by the male subordinate, hurried towards them from a distance.
Li Yang's peripheral vision caught sight of the approaching figures, and he immediately leaped up, hiding in a concealed spot on the roof.
Ku Teng pushed open the door and walked in. Seeing Zaoda Fengchun inside, his face became extremely excited. "Little Fengchun, how have you been? Have you been well in Sakura Country, and has your treasure appraisal skill declined at all?"
"Heh heh, hello Uncle. My treasure appraisal skills are so stable, how could they decline? I heard that Uncle encountered resistance while searching for national treasures in China and specifically invited me to resolve the trouble. What kind of trouble is it?" Zaoda Fengchun asked curiously.
"It's like this, Uncle was recently tricked and ambushed by someone, resulting in many enemies. Now, to capture these enemies, I am exhausted both physically and mentally, and I can't spare the time to search for China's treasure map."
"I called you here to utilize your strengths and help me retrieve the treasure map," Ku Teng said seriously.
"Treasure map?"
Zaoda Fengchun looked at Ku Teng with a confused expression, her delicate eyebrows furrowed. "I heard others say that Uncle already obtained the treasure map? It's just that many people have been vying for it from you recently."
"Did Uncle lose the treasure map again?"
"This matter is a long story. In fact, I never obtained the treasure map."
Ku Teng sighed deeply and then recounted the entire incident to Zaoda Fengchun.
After listening, her face immediately showed anger. She clenched her fists indignantly and said, "Who dares to frame Uncle like this? If I ever meet him, I'll skin him and pull out his tendons!"
"Little Fengchun, do not underestimate him. That fellow is called Li Yang, and his skills are so high that even the experts around Uncle cannot deal with him. I'm not asking you to confront him directly. You only need to use your ninjutsu to drug him, and then kill him when he's caught off guard," Ku Teng said coldly.
"Uncle, isn't that a dishonorable act? I, Zaoda Fengchun, am confident in my ninjutsu and more than capable of dealing with that fellow. Uncle only needs to provide me with his information, and I will personally find him and make him pay with his life," Zaoda Fengchun said confidently.
"Little Fengchun, absolutely not!"
Hearing Zaoda Fengchun's confident words, Ku Teng quickly stopped her. "Your father is Lord Chishima Setsu of Sakura Country. If anything happens to you, I won't be able to account for it to your father."
"That Li Yang is extremely skilled and uses ruthless methods. If you confront him directly and are unable to defeat him, you might lose your life, and Uncle won't be able to save you then."
As he finished speaking, Ku Teng took out a bottle of medicine from his person and handed it to Zaoda Fengchun, smiling. "This medicine won't kill that fellow immediately, but it will make him wish he were dead, suffering immensely."
"You only need to get close to him and put the medicine into his food. If you want to kill him, wait until he loses his ability to resist, then kill him slowly."
"I understand, Uncle!"
After some hesitation, Zaoda Fengchun finally nodded in agreement and accepted the medicine.
Ku Teng's face broke into a smile, and he said with satisfaction, "I'm glad you agreed. By the way, Little Fengchun, you usually stay in Sakura Country, so you must rarely see China's supreme treasures, right?"
"This Chongtian Tower of Uncle's collects a total of one thousand and fifty Chinese treasures. Today, Uncle will take you on a good tour. Follow me."
