Book 1 Chapter 37: The Zhang family’s movements; the approaching peril!
Two days ago, on the tenth day after Zhang Yang’s death, in the Zhang family in Luoshi City,
The family head Zhang Zhenshan was sitting in the head position in the hall staring at the five men kneeling in front of him with a cold, stern expression. The look in his eyes was sharp as a blade. Nearly all of those five men were trembling from head to toe, their cold sweat streaming down.
“Humph!” After maintaining this suffocating atmosphere for more than ten minutes, Zhang Zhenshan let out a cold snort. The five kneeling men’s bodies got a shock almost simultaneously. It was obvious they were even more frightened than before.
“You’ve… done very well. Less than ten days, you were able to run so far away in such a short time. It took me so long to find you…” Zhang Zhenshan said in an indifferent tone. It was impossible to tell how he was feeling, but all the people present knew that he could casually kill someone anytime now.
“Tell me, how did my son die? And who killed him?” When these questions were asked, even though his tone was still calm, it could not conceal the sorrow he was doing his best to conceal anymore — how could the pain of losing a son be concealed easily?
The five men kneeling before him were naturally those gangsters who had been knocked unconscious by Bai Yunfei right in the beginning of his attack on Zhang Yang then later run away for fear that the Zhang family would hold them responsible for Zhang Yang’s death. Although they had tried every means possible to flee, in the end they had still been captured and brought back by the Zhang family’s men.
Even the chief of that gang was among these five people.
“Mas… Master, the death of young master Zhang Yang… really had nothing to do with us! That killer specifically came there to target young master. Besides, he is an extremely powerful soul cultivator! We were knocked out to the floor right in the beginning. It really had nothing to do with us! Master, please spare our lives…”
The chief had no choice but to begin to entreat in fear after hesitating for some time. The four people kneeling behind him were so frightened that they did not even say a single word.
“I didn’t ask you about these things!” There was a trace of fluctuation in Zhang Zhenshan’s tone. It seemed he was somewhat impatient.
“Yes, yes… We will tell you everything, master. Hopefully, hopefully you could give us a chance and spare our lowly lives for the moment. We are willing to do our best to help look for young master’s killer!”
“You’re not in a position to bargain!” Zhang Zhenshan’s tone became much more serious. It seemed he could snap and let the fury in his heart explode anytime.
The chief’s entire body trembled once. He did not dare to implore anymore and continued at once: “Yes, yes… That day, the killer suddenly fell down from the roof and knocked out all of us ordinary people with stone tile fragments…”
“What? In other words… none of you saw his face and you don’t know who he is either?” Zhang Zhenshan frowned and said in an ominous tone.
“No, no, actually, I woke up at the last moment, when that man was about to leave, so I heard some things…” The chief hurriedly said again, “That man was alone in the beginning, but a woman appeared at the end of the fight. She seemed to have come to save the young girl captured by us. She and young master’s killer didn’t seem to know each other but in the end they left together!
“That woman said she, she was a disciple of the Green Willow School called… Qiu Luliu. The young girl caught by us is her junior sister Chu Yuhe…” The chief said earnestly, seeming to be trying hard to recall the situation at the time.
“What? Green Willow School?!”
Zhang Zhenshan’s expression changing for the first time, he suddenly stood up and said in a totally astounded tone.
