"He's downstairs, isn't he?" Lin Ke turned back. "Do you need him for something?"
"I sensed a crisis. It might be people sent by Young Master Zhao!" Jiang Meili said with a grave expression.
"It's alright, you might be too tense!" Lin Ke comforted her.
Seeing Lin Ke so calm, Jiang Meili felt a bit helpless. Lin Ke was just an ordinary person and didn't understand certain things.
However, Jiang Meili didn't know that the reason Lin Ke was so calm was because he trusted Lu Fan. The mere Zhao family was nothing in Lu Fan's eyes.
"What are you two talking about?"
Lu Fan walked over and looked at Jiang Meili. "Is something wrong?"
"Where did Mr. Lu go?" Jiang Meili said repeatedly. "I just sensed a crisis, someone might be planning to harm you!"
"A crisis? Why didn't I sense it?" Lu Fan shrugged. "Are you sure you sensed it correctly?"
"It's definitely not wrong!"
Jiang Meili's expression was serious. However, when she sensed again, her expression changed slightly. The sense of crisis had gradually disappeared.
"Sister Jiang, what's wrong with you today?" Lin Ke asked curiously. "Are you too stressed, or is it about today's events!"
"Perhaps!" Jiang Meili nodded slightly, even more confused. She had clearly felt a fatal crisis before, but now she couldn't feel anything at all, which made her doubt.
After Jiang Meili left, Lin Ke looked at Lu Fan. "Did someone come just now?"
"Indeed!" Lu Fan nodded. "A few people sent by Young Master Zhao, but they've already been dealt with!"
"It seems we need to be more careful in Longdu from now on!" Lin Ke said solemnly.
"Silly girl, isn't your husband here?" Lu Fan gave her a look. "As long as I'm here, I won't let you get hurt!"
Lin Ke showed a happy smile, but she knew that Lu Fan had his own matters to attend to and couldn't always stay by her side.
Meanwhile, in the Zhao family courtyard, Young Master Zhao was drinking, with a plate of peanuts beside him, humming a tune.
"Young Master, bad news!" A man ran over. "The mission failed!"
"What happened?" Young Master Zhao said coldly. "Didn't I tell you to send some good hands?"
"All three were sharpshooters, but that person is not to be trifled with!" The man said helplessly. "Why don't we just let this matter go!"
"You scoundrel! How can I let go of someone I want to deal with!" Young Master Zhao said coldly. "Since sharpshooters are no good, send martial artists!"
"Young Master, Longdu is full of hidden talents. The extermination of the Xia family in Longdu is an example!" The man quickly clasped his fists. "Please reconsider, Young Master!"
"The Xia family of Longdu?" Young Master Zhao's expression changed. The man was right. If the Xia family of Longdu hadn't been so arrogant, they wouldn't have met such an end.
"Hmph, forget it!" Young Master Zhao waved his hand. "Let this matter rest."
"Does Young Master not plan to pursue it?" The man showed joy.
"As you just said, there's always someone better. This kid is not to be trifled with either!" Young Master Zhao waved his hand. "Let this matter rest."
The man quickly nodded. He had a knack for judging people and felt that Lu Fan was not simple when he met him. It would be best if the matter could be settled.
Bang!
Suddenly, a gunshot rang out, shattering the cup next to Young Master Zhao. Numerous martial arts masters poured out of the courtyard, shielding him.
"Who is it! How dare you ambush me!" An old man said coldly, looking towards a corner. Just as he was about to escape, he was grabbed by the old man.
"Old Bai, who is it!" Young Master Zhao said coldly. "How dare you try to assassinate me!"
As he said this, the man beside him looked at the sniper, his expression changing slightly. "Why is it you?"
"You know him?" Young Master Zhao looked at the man, his expression becoming more displeased.
"Young Master, you don't know, he's the sniper I sent!" The man quickly clasped his fists. "But I don't know why he's here, attacking Young Master!"
"Since I've been caught, I have nothing more to say!" The sniper closed his eyes. "Just do it!"
"You're quite bold, daring to cause trouble in the Zhao family!" Old Bai said coldly. "Who sent you!"
"After my assassination failed, I was bribed to come and assassinate Young Master Zhao," the sniper said coldly. "But since it's come to this, I have nothing more to say!"
"You are truly audacious, daring to attack even knowing it's Young Master Zhao!" The man said coldly. "Are you tired of living?"
"Since we chose to be assassins, we never thought about the consequences!" The sniper said coldly. "Moreover, the price offered was double, so naturally, I had to complete the mission!"
"You scoundrel!" Young Master Zhao's face turned ashen. He, the dignified young master of the Zhao family, was almost shot and killed. If this were to spread, how would Young Master Zhao establish himself.
"Young Master, please calm down!" The man quickly said.
"Stop with the nonsense!" Young Master Zhao said coldly, then looked at Old Bai. "Prepare yourself, we're going out."
"Your subordinate obeys!" Old Bai quickly clasped his fists, not daring to delay.
At this moment, the man was also quite flustered, not knowing what to do. Besides the white-haired old man, the Zhao family also dispatched more than ten martial arts experts. This time, led by Young Master Zhao himself, it carried considerable deterrence.
"Young Master, to be able to easily evade the sniper, the opponent is likely also a martial artist!" Old Bai said. "If we really fight, we might end up taking their life!"
"That's fine!" Young Master Zhao waved his hand. "How can I easily let go of someone who dares to harm me! You just act, and I'll handle the rest!"
Old Bai cupped his fists and didn't say anything more. Since even Young Master Zhao said so, he naturally had to act accordingly.
At this time, in the Longdu City Lord's mansion, Steward Wu quickly clasped his fists. "City Lord, something's wrong! Lord Lu is in trouble!"
"What's going on?" The Longdu City Lord immediately became alert. "Lord Lu's strength is immense, how could something happen to him."
"Young Master Zhao sent people to shoot Lord Lu. Now, it seems disaster is imminent!" Steward Wu's expression was serious.
"First the Xia family of Longdu, then the Zhao family of Longdu!" The Longdu City Lord's expression was cold. "They really know how to cause trouble for me!"
"What should we do now!" Steward Wu said quickly.
"Prepare the carriage and go to the Zhao family!" The Longdu City Lord said coldly. "Some people can be offended, and some people absolutely cannot be offended. The Zhao family doesn't even understand this, and they will be destroyed sooner or later!"
Steward Wu quickly nodded, not daring to delay.
Meanwhile, in the Zhao family, after Young Master Zhao left, the Zhao family head arrived late at night, looking quite tired. Several confidantes were by his side. As soon as he entered the courtyard, the man rushed forward. "Patriarch, you're finally here! Young Master is in trouble!"
"What's wrong again!" The Zhao family head said coldly. "This prodigal son, always neglecting his duties and causing trouble everywhere!"
