1400 Powerful Enemies Forming Allies (1/2)

”I don't know either.” Lu Bu shook his head. ”I think Ji Xiong found out only recently. He didn't tell what Chen Xiaobei's other name is!”

Outside the courtyard, Chen Xiaobei felt the tension in his body float away.Find authorized novels in Webnovel，faster updates, better experience，Please click visiting.

He was lucky that Lu Bu did not know. Otherwise, Chen Xiaobei's identity would have been exposed and might even be connected to the Atlantis incident!

It was not strange at all when you think about it. Even if Ji Xiong had discovered Chen Xiaobei's alias, it was not something of importance before today; thus it was only normal that he did not find it necessary to share this information with Lu Bu.

But as of present day, the knowledge of knowing Chen Xiaobei's second name was finally useful, but unfortunately Ji Xiong was killed with the secret. He would probably be turning in his grave.

”Alright! Even though it's not completely clear, I'm willing to believe you. We'll treat this as a misunderstanding!” Lu Mingjun said. ”If you don't mind, you can stay in our house! I'll hire a sketch artist, and he'll draw Chen Xiaobei's portrait based on your description! We'll comb through the city and catch him. We'll see if the people we are looking for are the same person!”

”I…” Lu Bu hesitated.

The most convenient way to find Chen Xiaobei was through Shen Gongpao's calculation. But Shen Gongpao was a contemptible crook who kept Diao Chan hostage. Lu Bu really did not want to contact him directly.

On top of that, Lu Mingjun's idea sounded pretty good.

”Alright! I'm willing to stay!” Lu Bu furrowed his brows. ”But I've only met Chen Xiaobei once. I'm afraid that my description and the hand-drawn portrait might be very different!”

”It doesn't matter. We'll just apprehend anyone who looks like him. Then Mr. Lu can take your time to identify him!”

”Alright! That's settled then!” Lu Bu nodded. ”But what about the 10 people I killed? How should we settle that?”

”Heh, those were just watchdogs. Don't worry about it, Mr. Lu!” Lu Mingjun smiled. He really did not give a rat's ass about the death of his guards.

Lu Bu thought to himself, ”This guy is ruthless! Cold-blooded!”

”Come!” Lu Mingjun ordered. ”Bring Mr. Lu to the VIP guest room, and give him the VIP treatment! After that, send someone to get the sketch artist to come by today! I don't want any delays!”

”When the artist gets here, call me immediately! I won't be sleeping tonight!” Lu Bu said, and then followed a servant to the guest room.

”Father! Do you really believe that guy?” Lu Changwei asked. ”What if he is the assassin?”

”Use your brain to think! If he is the assassin, would you still be breathing?” Lu Mingjun spayed. ”Also, his friend had just died in the most unusual manner. I want to know what the hell is going on as well!”

”I… I understand!” Lu Changwei nodded. ”I hope that the person he's looking for is the person we're looking for, we'll just have to get the keys, and everything will be alright!”

”If I were you, I wouldn't be hoping here!” Lu Changjun spat.

”Oh, father, you mean…” Lu Changwei looked at his father, puzzled.

Lu Mingjun said scornfully, ”Send for the Silver Plume soldiers now! Once the portrait is complete, make copies and then put them up all over the city! Then search the entire city!”

”Father, didn't you just say that the assassin won't be staying in the city to wait for us to catch him?” Lu Changwei asked, almost in a whisper.

”How did I end up having such a fool as my son? One instruction short and you're all confused!” Lu Mingjun said sternly, ”We put up the portraits just to inform the people in the city! Anyone who can provide us with any leads will be rewarded with 100 medium-grade Spiritual Stones! If they catch the assassin alive, the reward will be 1,000 medium-grade Spiritual Stones!”

”Oh! I understand now! By offering rewards, we'll be able to look for the answers that we are searching for!” Lu Changwei finally figured it out. ”I'll go now!”
