Daily Intelligence System: Don't Kill Me, Honey!

Chapter 897: Chapter 232: Damn, Summer God’s Anger_6

Chen Jie looked at Zhou Feng, the murderous intent in his eyes slowly dissipating.

He immediately followed with a smile and bowed to Zhou Feng: ”Guild Leader Zhou, I have been taught.”

Zhou Feng frowned upon seeing this.

Meanwhile, Jin Yanzi said: ”All right, that’s enough for today. The government soldiers will be here soon, let’s go quickly.”

Chen Jie said, ”Let’s follow Master Jin’s lead.”

Saying this, Jin Yanzi and Chen Jie quickly left. Watching the departing Chen Jiusi, Zhou Yu’s face was full of contempt as he said, ”Hmph, I thought he was some kind of heroic figure, turns out he’s just a cowardly rat, scaring him a bit, he immediately begged for mercy, nothing remarkable.”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Feng looked at Zhou Yu and said, ”Is this how you see him?”

Zhou Yu said, ”How else? Just a coward.”

”I heard that the last time I sent a female assassin, she even injured his wife, and I also heard that he was quite affectionate with her, but seeing him today, it’s nothing much, utterly laughable.”

”If he were truly loving, how could he not react upon hearing that I sent the assassin last time and still admitted defeat? Truly a coward.”

Zhou Feng looked at Zhou Yu and said, ”If it were you, what would you do?”

”What? Fight to the death, unending until one falls!”

Hearing this, Zhou Feng’s face immediately turned somber as he said, ”In what ways are you better than him? Do not provoke him in the future, in a few days we will leave the Huangzhou Prefecture, regardless of any controversies.”

”No way, I must stay. Our Fishing Guild has such a vast foundation in Huangzhou Prefecture, I must stay and revive the foundation. Who knows, when the world falls into chaos, I might seize the opportunity to rise up and soar!”

Upon hearing this, Zhou Feng frowned and said, ”What does the world have to do with you? Do you truly think you are some Heavenly Mandate Person who will become the Emperor one day?”

Zhou Yu said, ”Why can’t I? Father, I’ve learned the Emperor Divine Skill. There’s an ancient saying that learning the Emperor Divine Skill allows one to vie for the world!”

”Nonsense, son, listen to your father. We are not vying for any world, let’s stay away from these disputes. I just want you to live well.”

”I won’t!”

Zhou Yu gritted his teeth and said.

Hearing this, Zhou Feng reached out, Zhou Yu said, ”Hit me then, I want to vie for the world, I want to be the Emperor!”

Zhou Feng angrily said, ”Your mother is dead, now it’s just you and me. I don’t want anything to happen to you!”

Zhou Yu said, ”You’re just like that Chen Jiusi, both cowards. My affairs, don’t meddle in them.”

With these words, Zhou Yu turned and walked away. Zhou Feng said, ”You, sigh...”

The old father sighed deeply while the son walked further and further away. This father-son pair was very much alike, with the weathered old father advising his son not to foolishly start a business, as one could end up losing everything.

Only for the son to say: ”You’ve aged, it’s none of your business.”

...

At that moment, Chen Jie and Jin Yanzi found themselves in a secluded alley. A group of soldiers passed by in front of them, the commotion here earlier couldn’t have gone unnoticed.

Watching the people walk past, Chen Jie looked at Jin Yanzi and said, ”Thank you, Heroine Jin, for saving my life.”

Jin Yanzi, hearing this, looked at Chen Jie and said, ”No need to thank me, I saved you with a motive. I need you to do me a favor.”

Chen Jie looked at Jin Yanzi and said, ”Help you find Wulu Tai?”

”Hmm? How did you know?”

Jin Yanzi looked at Chen Jie, full of shock. Chen Jie said, ”Ha, I went to the Assistant Magistrate’s Office, saw the situation inside, Wulu Tai is likely kidnapped.”

”By the way, you were also at the Assistant Magistrate Mansion at that time, what did you discover?”

Jin Yanzi said, ”I heard sounds from my husband’s room at that time, I went out of the study, and then saw my husband’s room door open. I was very surprised, looked up, and saw two people carrying my husband, leaping onto the roof.”

”They were surprised to see me too, I heard one say: ’Didn’t you say she wasn’t home today?’”

”The other replied: ’Faulty intelligence!’”

”In their distraction, they shattered some roof tiles. I chased after them and engaged them, but found that they were stronger than I, at what seemed to be a late Wolf Smoke Realm level.”

”I fought several rounds, but gradually ran out of stamina and was defeated,”

”Those two took the opportunity to throw a handful of Poison Powder, forcing me back. By the time I recovered, they had vanished without a trace. I chased but couldn’t catch up.”

”Meanwhile, you surrounded my Assistant Magistrate Mansion with your soldiers, so I fled.”

”Later, seeing you come out, I followed, then saw Zhou Yu from the Fishing Guild ambushing you, and then, well...”

Chen Jie listened to Jin Yanzi’s account, then looked at her and said, ”Heroine Jin, let me ask you, that batch of grain we seized today, was it really being sold to the Zoroastrian Sect?”

Jin Yanzi said, ”Yes.”

Chen Jie said, ”With the Commandery Princess and others in the city, you’re still daring to commit a crime?”

Jin Yanzi said, ”Hundred Households Chen, we were actually preparing to stop, and the deal for this grain hadn’t been settled with the Zoroastrian Sect, they said our prices were too high.”

”We were preparing to abandon this deal, but unexpectedly, a few days ago, they suddenly raised their offer, said to deliver today, so we took the risk to make this shipment.”

Chen Jie, hearing Jin Yanzi’s words, said, ”Wait a moment, they temporarily raised the price and demanded the goods?”

Jin Yanzi said, ”Yes.”

Chen Jie slapped his forehead and said, ”Now I understand, let’s go.”

Chen Jie stood up, Jin Yanzi said, ”Where to?”

Chen Jie said, ”To the Magistrate Government, I need to investigate something.”

Jin Yanzi said, ”What thing?”

Chen Jie said, ”The list of officials!”
