Supreme Martial Artist - Chapter 53

Chapter 0053 Trap!
As soon as he entered the branch of Chu Yuecheng Yongsheng Auction House, Qin Fei felt that something was amiss all over his body. He always felt that something bad was going to happen to him.

The branch head was a middle-aged man with a round, fat face. His figure was as round as a ball. He was medium-sized and had no hair on his head. He was bald. When he smiled, he always gave off the impression that he didn’t laugh at all!

“Haha, I’ve long heard of Gao Sheng, Lei Xingzhi. You must accept my invitation and drink to your heart’s content when you pass by Chu Yuecheng today!” The fat man’s face trembled with laughter, revealing a mouthful of scorched teeth, as if he hadn’t brushed his teeth in years.

Lei Zhen smiled politely and said, “Manager Zhang, I don’t want to disturb you because I have something important to attend to. I just want to send fifty guards here to escort me to Xuan City Branch according to the headquarters’ rules!”

“This! Of course there’s no problem! I’ll order them to prepare now!” Zhang Xingzhu, who was also the fatty, said very straightforwardly. Then, he stood up with a smile on his face and said to Lei Zhen and Qin Fei, “Then I’ll excuse you two for a moment. Drink your tea, and I’ll be right back!”

With that, he turned around and walked out of the door.

Lei Zhen heaved a sigh of relief and said to Qin Fei, “Second Brother, this Traveller Zhang is not bad.”

Qin Fei didn’t say anything, he was still silent in his heart.

Very quickly, Fatty Zhang returned with an ugly expression on his face. Lei Zhen saw him and hurriedly stood up.

Qin Fei looked at Fatty Zhang and felt more and more uneasy.

“Master Lei, I’m really sorry! The guards might have to wait until tomorrow before they can be transferred to you. They’ve all gone out to protect the goods! They won’t be able to rush back until early tomorrow morning at the latest!” Fatty Zhang said apologetically.

Hearing this, Lei Zhen couldn’t help but be disappointed. He thought for a moment. Anyway, with Qin Fei’s profound beast protecting him, there shouldn’t be any problems along the way. Since the guards didn’t exist, then forget it. After pondering for a while, he suddenly said to Fatty Zhang, “Steward Zhang, have you seen any strangers passing by Chu Yue City in the past few days?”

“Strangers? Yes! Not strangers at all. Even the Yanbo City Branch Master Chen Yipi, who is going to Xuan City to participate in the election for guild leader, like you! He brought a lot of guards to Chu Yue City yesterday and is preparing to leave today. It seems like he should be leaving now!”

“Chen Yipi? Yanbo City!” Lei Zhen’s eyes lit up. He smiled and said, “Zhang Xingzhu, I’m old acquaintance with Chen Xingzhu. Where does he live in the city now? I’ll go find him and take care of each other. I don’t need to trouble your guards anymore!”

When Fatty Zhang heard this, he smiled and said, “It turns out that Master Lei and Master Chen are very familiar. He lives in a restaurant not far from here. Originally, I invited him to live in a branch office, but he said it was inconvenient and insisted on living in a restaurant!”

After saying that, he enthusiastically wanted to personally bring Lei Zhen and Qin Fei to find Chen Yipi!

From the beginning to the end, Fatty Zhang didn’t even look at Qin Fei and didn’t even say a word. This made Qin Fei feel even more strange. Why didn’t he ask Qin Fei the slightest bit about his appearance? Are you being arrogant? It didn’t make sense for him to be enthusiastic towards Lei Zhen.

What exactly was going on? Qin Fei’s heart was filled with doubt. He felt that Fatty Zhang had something to hide from Lei Zhen!

“Thank you for your kindness, Mr. Zhang. We can go find Mr. Chen ourselves. We won’t disturb your business anymore!” Lei Zhen quickly rejected Fatty Zhang’s enthusiasm to personally lead the way.

From the looks of it, Chen Yipi was definitely the mastermind behind last night’s night’s attack and the hiring of the Su Clan’s killers.

Fatty Zhang did not insist. He escorted them out of the branch and pointed to the street on the left, saying, “Manager Chen and the others live in the Chu Yue Restaurant at the end of the street and turn left to the first 200 meters. If you want to find him, you must hurry up. He said yesterday that he seemed to have waited for some news to arrive before leaving immediately.”

Walking in the direction that Fatty Zhang pointed at, he turned left and discovered that there was a secluded alley in front of him. It was so quiet that there weren’t even pedestrians!

Lei Zhen frowned. What kind of ghost restaurant was there? Fatty Zhang lied to himself?

Thinking of this, he hurriedly told Qin Feng to leave quickly, but Qin Fei smiled bitterly and said, “Big brother, it’s too late! We’re surrounded!”

Lei Zhen turned around and his expression immediately changed.

At this moment, the two of them were standing at a three-way intersection. Dozens of black-clothed men appeared from the three streets. They were holding sharp weapons in their hands and surrounded them fiercely!

These black-clothed men were dressed exactly the same as the black-clothed men who attacked last night. Needless to say, they were part of the same group!

“Pa pa …”

The black-clothed man surrounded the intersection of the street, completely blocking their path of retreat. A burst of applause came from behind the black-clothed man. The black-clothed man automatically opened a passageway to welcome a few men dressed in luxurious clothes.

The person applauding was a middle-aged man with a pale complexion but sharp eyes. He looked at Lei Zhen with disdain and mockery in his eyes and said, “Lei Zhen, Lei Zhen, since you escaped with your life last night, why would you come and die again?”

“Chen Yipi! It really is you! You actually openly violated the rules of the headquarters and openly killed your own people! Let me tell you, this is Chu Yuecheng, there is a branch of Yongsheng, and you will definitely be punished for doing so!” Lei Zhen said angrily.

“Punishment? What punishment? There are rules in the headquarters, but as long as no one talks about it in the ears of the headquarters, who will punish me? Oh … I see, you must be talking about Fatty Zhang, right? Haha, look who this is.” Chen Yipi leaned sideways and revealed a ball-like smile on Fatty Zhang’s face. He was very respectful to Chen Yipi, but when he looked at Lei Zhen, his face revealed a look of disdain. He said mockingly, “Lei Zhen, you’re so fucking stupid! You want to be the head of the county branch just because you want to? What a joke!”

“You! You’re actually with him!” Although Lei Zhen had already expected it, he couldn’t help but say angrily when he heard Fatty Zhang’s words.

“Not bad! Lei Zhen, there’s a way to heaven. If you don’t walk, then there’s no way to hell. You have to barge in! I’m originally from the Chen Clan. I’ve been watching from afar since I sent someone to kill you last night. However, this young man beside you is quite powerful. He can actually command the Profound Beast to help! What a surprise! Executor Chen is smart and wise. He knows that you didn’t die last night, so he guessed that you would definitely come to Chu Yuecheng for help. I also pushed the boat along and lured you here to catch a turtle in a jar! Haha! “This is the city now, there are no profound beasts to help you!” Fatty Zhang said proudly.

No wonder he ignored Qin Fei. He already knew about Qin Fei!

Hearing this, Qin Fei felt a wave of grievance in his heart. He didn’t expect that he would fall for it. This fatty Zhang was too cunning. He must have been very far away last night. Otherwise, with Xuan Ling’er’s senses, he would definitely know. However, if she was too far away, there was nothing she could do about it.
