Peaceful and Prosperous Song and Dance

The researchers stormed into the lab, and Li Banfeng and Geng Congyi arrived shortly after.

The investigators in the lab didn't know who these two people were and assumed they were accomplices of the puppet, almost leading to a physical altercation.

Li Banfeng showed his identification, Geng Congyi took out a bottle of golden medicine and swallowed half of it.

This is Coloring Agent specially designed by the Dark Star Bureau. It can be applied directly to a person to create color. Dark Energy User can also use techniques to color targets.

After swallowing the Coloring Agent, the severer can mark the source of Dark Energy while severing the Dark Energy ties.

In other words, as long as Geng Congyi can sever the Dark Energy ties on the puppet, he can find the puppeteer and make the puppeteer wear a striking yellow color.

According to Geng Congyi's experience, the operator's control range is generally no more than ten meters. If the operator is nearby and exposed by the Coloring Agent, he will definitely not be able to escape.

Everyone waited for Geng Congyi to make his move. A gust of wind blew by, and the walls of the laboratory and the equipment were covered with knife marks, all of which were bright yellow.

But no one could see the repairman's location; they only saw the puppet lying motionless under the resonator.

Li Banfeng suspected that the engineer might be outside the laboratory. He used his keen Golden Eyes Autumn Hairs to scan the outside of the window. The puppet under the resonator emerged from its supine position, and with almost no bending of its body, quickly stood up from its supine position and stood in front of everyone.

Geng Congyi was terrified.

Having worked as a special forces operative in the Dark Star Bureau for so many years, he had never made a mistake.

"Chief, I just used a very dense blade—"

The blades were indeed very dense; if there were any Dark Energy links in the room, they would definitely be severed.

But now is not the time to discuss this issue. The puppet took two steps to the side and came in front of Geng Congyi. A dagger appeared in his hand, and he swung it to kill him.

Li Banfeng pushed Geng Congyi and kicked the puppet.

Given Li Banfeng's speed, a kick from him might not be powerful enough to kill his opponent, but as long as the opponent's cultivation level doesn't surpass Li Banfeng's, dodging the kick would be extremely difficult.

Surprisingly, the puppet managed to dodge it.

He twisted his waist to the left at an incredible angle, turning his body into an arc and dodging Li Banfeng's kick.

He then maintained the curve of his lower body, twisted his upper body again, and, holding the dagger, slashed at Li Banfeng's neck.

He's a puppet; any twisting he does is reasonable, but such a fast speed is unreasonable.

Li Banfeng dodged the dagger by looking up. The puppet took a step back, bypassed the agents in the research room, and arrived at the laboratory door.

Li Banfeng rushed ahead, blocking the doorway, and swung his Tang Blade at the puppet's legs.

The puppet had no vital organs, so Li Banfeng cut off its legs first in order to stop the puppet from moving.

The puppet somersaulted in place, dodging the Tang Blade, and even kicked Li Banfeng in mid-air.

Li Banfeng dodged the kick, took out his Wine Gourd, and intended to set the puppet on fire.

The puppet hopped a few times and got behind the spectrometer, dodging the wine from the Wine Gourd.

The Wine Gourd tried to spray wine mist, which burned down the entire laboratory.

Li Banfeng patted the Wine Gourd, stopping her.

The Medicine King's wine has limited power in front of high-level cultivators, but its power is too great for ordinary people.

If you use alcohol mist directly, it's an indiscriminate attack, and it's very difficult to put out the fire afterwards.

Besides, this isn't the actual engineer in front of us. Putting aside how valuable all this experimental equipment is, we can't let all these people in the room be buried with a puppet.

Li Banfeng chased after the spectrometer, exchanged a few blows with the puppet, and then the puppet slid down and crawled under the Low-Temperature Constant Temperature Device. Li Banfeng followed suit with a slide and crawled in as well.

The two exchanged a few moves under the Low-Temperature Constant Temperature Device, and then the puppet emerged, took two steps, and circled around to the back of the constant.

Li Banfeng also took a step around, and the puppet slid around to the desk.

Li Banfeng also used a sliding step to catch up to the desk. The puppet moved its left foot forward and its right foot to the left, circling twice between the two sets of equipment before arriving at the window.

Li Banfeng didn't chase after the puppet to the window. He had been spinning with the puppet and accidentally stepped on a medicine bottle on the ground, twisting his hip.

This medicine bottle was used by Geng Congyi to Coloring Agent. It fell to the ground when Li Banfeng pushed it away.

What a coincidence that I stepped on this bottle.

No, that's not the point. The point is, why do we have to spin with the puppet?

Li Banfeng couldn't figure it out either!

He can Cut Path Opening Road and Unimpeded Travel, so why would he follow a puppet around in circles?

The puppet leaped out of the window and slid sideways as it raced into the distance.

Li Banfeng took the Coloring Agent and chased after them, Geng Congyi called for backup.

In the laboratory, the puppet moves very quickly, but when it runs in an open space, it is at a disadvantage in terms of speed.

Although Li Banfeng had injured his hip, he could not only run, but also fly, and quickly caught up with the puppet.

Dealing with these puppets alone isn't enough; where exactly is the repairman?

As Li Banfeng chased after them, he tapped on the Thread-Pulling Earring.

The Thread-Pulling Earring was also nervous. "Sir, I really didn't see any construction work around here."

The puppet arrived at an intersection and was kicked to the ground from behind by Li Banfeng.

The puppet didn't crack, and it didn't seem to have suffered any serious damage.

What kind of wood is this? It took such a heavy kick and not even a single chip fell off?

Li Banfeng wanted to go up and finish him off, but the puppet twisted its body, and a large truck driving on the road suddenly swerved and crashed into Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng kicked the truck to a stop, and the puppet continued to flee. Just as Li Banfeng was about to catch up with it again, the puppet stood on one foot, stood on its tiptoes, and spun around in place.

What kind of tactic is this?

Li Banfeng looked back and saw a bus full of passengers spinning around and heading straight for Li Banfeng.

He also wanted to kick the bus to stop, but the bus was in a bad position. If Li Banfeng kicked it, the bus might fly off the road, and all the people on board would be doomed.

Li Banfeng first dodged the bus, moved to a safe angle, and then kicked the bus to a stop.

During this time, Li Banfeng kept his eyes fixed on the puppet.

The puppet was about to escape when its body trembled and it shuddered.

What's going on?

Is he injured?

Misjudgment! This isn't a puppet!

Taking advantage of the puppet's slow movements, Li Banfeng rushed forward and used the Trample Ten Thousand Rivers on the puppet's back, casually scattering Coloring Agent.

Bang! After a cloud of dust cleared, the puppet was covered in blood, with specks of gold clinging to its clothes.

So this "unmarried" person is actually alive! Let's see where you go now!

Having gained the upper hand, Li Banfeng swung his sickle, twisted his hips, and danced with the puppet.

What's going on? Why are they dancing again?

Not only was Li Banfeng dancing, but all the vehicles passing by on the road were "dancing."

The vehicles swayed and collided with each other, converging into a long, serpentine line on the road, crawling towards Li Banfeng.

Li Banfeng had never encountered such an opponent before. He was so close that Li Banfeng could chop off his head, blow his body up, and trample him into a pile of mud.

But Li Banfeng couldn't do that; he could only dance, dancing along with the flow of traffic.

His body is not entirely out of control; he is able to use techniques.

He was able to activate the Trample Ten Thousand Rivers, but he failed to hit the puppet and almost destroyed a car on the right.

Seeing that the puppet was about to escape, Li Banfeng blocked its path by Cut Path Opening Road. An earthen wall rose from the ground, blocking his pursuit route.

Li Banfeng could see the puppet's current actions, but he couldn't foresee the trend of the puppet's next move.

He can control his body, but he doesn't know what state his body will be in next.

His perception of the environment, his opponent, and himself was flawed. This flaw stemmed from a certain technique that Li Banfeng had never seen before.

Shen Jingye arrived at the scene with reinforcements. He crossed his arms, swayed his hips, and shouted to the crowd:

"Support Director Li."

A group of people rushed Dance Steps, dancing energetically.

After a chaotic fight, a group of people surrounded Li Banfeng, holding hands and dancing together. The puppet disappeared into the woods beside the road.

Li Banfeng controlled his joints, stopped dancing, pushed the crowd aside, and went to the edge of the forest to check the footprints and bloodstains. There were no footprints or bloodstains on the ground. He was an expert; he had wiped away all traces.

Shen Jingye swayed his shoulders and shouted, "Forget about that puppet, Seventh Bureau, let's go find the maintenance guy first."

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "There was no work done. That person just now should be Du Wenming."

"How is that possible?" Shen Jingye said, twisting his waist as he combed his hair.

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I slashed him with a knife, and there was Coloring Agent on the knife. You can find out by arresting him and asking him."

Shen Jingye was taken aback, but then his face lit up with joy. He had no doubt about Li Qi's judgment now. "I'll contact Director Du first."

The entire road was in chaos, cars collided with each other and came to a stop. The people in the cars got out and started dancing and arguing, but no one realized that something was wrong with their situation.

Shen Jingye twisted his waist and made a phone call to Du Wenming.

Du Wenming did not answer the phone.

He called Du Wenming's home landline again, but Du Wenming still didn't answer.

He asked the team members who were guarding Du Wenming's residence to knock on the door, but there was no response.

As Shen Jingye danced, he looked at Li Qi and said, "I think we can issue an arrest warrant now."

Looking at Shen Jingye's pretentious manner, Li Banfeng felt an urge to slap him twice.

The puppet has already gone far away, so why is Shen Jingye still dancing? Why can't he stop?

Not only was Shen Jingye dancing, but the Public Security Team behind him were also dancing. Mi Jian had the best figure and danced the most seductively, attracting many passersby to surround him and dance together.

The Light Bulb seeped grease into the soles of his shoes, making his Dance Steps incredibly smooth.

Chen Changrui did not get out of the car. Relying on his basic skills of observation, he seemed to be able to sense something was wrong. He kept controlling himself from getting out of the car, but his legs were shaking uncontrollably.

Everyone else went about their own business: some checked vehicles, some restored traffic, and some prepared for the next phase of the arrest operation. But everyone was dancing joyfully in unison.

"Stop jumping!" Li Banfeng suddenly snapped, startling everyone.

"Director Li, what's wrong with you? Who did you say danced?" Shen Jingye didn't realize he was dancing, and neither did anyone else.

From their perspective, the fight between Li Banfeng and the puppet had caused chaos at the scene, and now everyone was handling their work normally, except for Li Qi, whose behavior was a bit strange.

Chen Changrui struggled to get out of the car, went to Li Banfeng's side, and whispered, "Director Li, I have Du Wenming's address here."

He slipped a note to Li Banfeng, knowing that everyone was in a bad state and that it would be too late once the arrest warrant was in hand.

Li Banfeng took the note, left the scene, walked to a secluded spot, took off, and flew to Du Wenming's detached villa.

No one was home at Du Wenming's house. According to Shen Jingye's investigation, Du Wenming was unmarried, his parents were not around, and he had a housekeeper who cooked and cleaned for him, but she did not stay there at night.

The villa had two floors. Li Banfeng didn't see any wireless equipment, Spiritual Object, or weapons.

Li Banfeng called Shen Jingye: "Issue an arrest warrant immediately and find the person with the Coloring Agent on him. Du Wenming isn't home; he has other hideouts in the city."

Suspended in the city's night sky, Li Banfeng looked around.

Where did Du Wenming go?

Where did he hide Yu Yaoming?

Was that puppet he just saw?

Back at his Portable Abode, Li Banfeng took out a projector and played the footage of the battle they had just fought.

During filming, the projector kept shaking, causing the picture to sway. It took a long time for the record player to capture Du Wenming's image.

"My lord, is this a marionette?"

The Wife's thoughts were consistent with Li Banfeng's initial judgment, but after watching for about ten minutes, Wife noticed something unusual. "This puppet has magical artifacts on it, and it can use techniques."

Li Banfeng asked, "Which Daoist sect's technique is this?"

"This is Dance Cultivator technique."

"Martial arts practitioners? Don't martial arts practitioners not have techniques?"

"They are not martial arts practitioners skilled in combat, but Dance Cultivator skilled in dance. This technique is called 'Peaceful and Prosperous Song and Dance.'"

He dances alone, yet he can lead everyone around him in a dance; I never imagined a puppet could utilize the techniques of a magical artifact to such an extent.

"My Wife, this shouldn't be a puppet or a magic weapon; it's a cultivator!"

"How did you know, my husband?"

Li Banfeng said, "During the fight, I kept my eyes on him. While dodging, I unintentionally used the Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers."

This hurt him. If it were just a puppet, the Ride a Horse and Admire Flowers technique shouldn't have been effective against him.

Hong Ying put down her eyebrow pencil and stared at the video for a while. "This movie is so shaky, it makes me dizzy. Our projector is also affected by this technique."

The projector was puzzled. "I didn't feel any shaking when I was filming."

The gloved man wiggled his index finger and said, "When we were fighting, I wanted to see if he had any treasures, but I couldn't concentrate and couldn't find an opportunity to strike. I must have fallen for his technique and started dancing along with him."

The Wine Gourd was inaccurate, and the Tang Blade missed its mark; both were likely due to interference from the Dance Cultivator.

Li Banfeng asked, "The Dance Cultivator's techniques are so powerful that they can make magical artifacts dance along?"

The record player explained, "Magic artifacts possess spirituality and can indeed be interfered with by Dance Cultivator."

"What about the cars? Why are they dancing along too?"

The record player shook its head and said, "With this person's cultivation level, he definitely can't control anything without spiritual power. The car is shaking because the driver is affected and something went wrong while driving."

The driver was dancing while driving, violently twisting the steering wheel with his hands.

The Wife's explanation is reasonable, but there is still one thing that doesn't make sense.

"Why are so many people still dancing after the puppet escaped?"

Hong Ying quickly added, "Because Dance Cultivator techniques have residual power, the effect can last for a period of time after the technique is used. How long the residual power lasts depends on the difference in cultivation levels between the two parties."

During the war, I once encountered a general who Dance Cultivator; she led thirty dancers and five hundred soldiers.

They almost wiped out my camp.

I remember that everyone in the camp was dancing like madmen, letting the enemy soldiers kill them.

They didn't even know how to fight back.

Li Banfeng imagined the battle situation at that time, but couldn't quite figure it out.

He had the projector demonstrate it.

A general, accompanied by thirty dancers, first infiltrated Hong Ying's camp and used his skills to make all of Hong Ying's men dance.

Then her soldiers rushed in and began to massacre the camp.

"Since your entire army is dancing, why isn't the enemy affected?"

Hong Ying said, "This is due to the lingering power of the Dance Cultivator technique. She first led the dancers to disrupt the camp, and then led the dancers to retreat."

Because the technique's residual effects were still present, my men were all dancing, but the enemy troops who attacked later were unaffected as they hadn't been hit by the technique, leading to a significant loss for me after the battle began.

"How did you survive this battle?"

Hong Ying thought carefully for a moment, then shook her head and said, "There's no special way. My cultivation is high, so I jumped a couple of times..."

They broke free from the constraints of technique.

Then I went to fight the enemy to the death. Although their five hundred soldiers were all skilled in martial arts, I was able to hold them off with my abilities. After some time, my soldiers broke free, and we turned the tide of the battle.

But more than 30% of my soldiers have been killed in action.

According to Hong Ying's description, the projector accurately reproduced the battlefield scene. After watching it, Li Banfeng asked Hong Ying, "If you encounter her again, won't you suffer another loss?"

"We won't suffer losses again. At first, I saw that she was thin and frail, and she even shed tears on the battlefield. She didn't look like a military general at all. I really underestimated her."

After that battle, I never underestimated my opponent again. In our second encounter, I closed in first and killed her instantly, giving her no chance to retaliate.

"Seventh Son, you must remember this: when fighting Dance Cultivator, you must not let her dance unless your cultivation level is higher than hers. Otherwise, if you let her dance, you will basically have no chance of winning."

Li Banfeng watched the video again and remained silent for a long time.

Hong Ying's tactic is not very realistic.

The record player knew why Li Banfeng was troubled. "Just talking about it without letting Dance Cultivator isn't that easy, my husband. If we're talking about walking speed, whether on flat ground or steep peaks, Travel Cultivator is much faster than Dance Cultivator."

However, if it comes to a battle of size, at the same level, it's really hard to say whether Dance Cultivator or Travel Cultivator is faster.

Hong Ying retorted, "Travel Cultivator is definitely faster, but Dance Cultivator is harder to guard against. You never know when he'll start dancing, or when you'll find yourself dancing along with him."

This Dance Cultivator is quite unique; his footwork doesn't look like dancing at all, more like that of a puppet with clumsy joints.

Li Banfeng nodded and said, "Yes, it really looks like him. At first, I thought he had a maintenance worker behind him."

The record player asked, "My lord, where is this person now?"

"I don't know," Li Banfeng shook his head. "He might come back to retaliate at any time. What should I do if we run into each other again?"

Hong Ying turned around and started working on her eyebrows in front of the mirror. "Seventh Son, you just don't believe me. If you were a scholar, you could fight him with your fancy techniques. If you were a power cultivator, you could also compete with him with your strong attacks."

But since we're the Travel Cultivator, we need to act quickly. First, we'll Cut Path Opening Road to trap him, then Trample Ten Thousand Rivers and kill him. If we're not fast enough, there's no point in fighting this battle!

"I'm House Cultivator, what are you talking to me about a Travel Cultivator?" Li Banfeng looked at his Wife and asked, "Do House Cultivator have any methods to deal with Dance Cultivator?"

"If you, my lord, were a proper House Cultivator, hiding at home and waiting for him to come, you wouldn't need to be afraid of him. But if you encounter him outside the house, it won't be so easy to deal with."

Close Doors and Windows and windows might work to some extent, but if you don't get the first move, you might not be able to use it effectively. Your Counting Family Treasures husband's skills aren't yet refined. Being alone with your Shadows Pitying Each Other depends on timing; if you use them at the wrong time, even your shadow will have to dance.

Deep Mansion would be a good solution. My husband can borrow some techniques from Little Slave and sing a song for him during our fight.

Just like singing, dancing requires rhythm and timing. If the rhythm of the song doesn't match the rhythm of the Dance Cultivator, it should disrupt the Dance Cultivator's steps. Once the Dance Steps's steps are disrupted, it won't be too difficult for my husband to defeat him.

"That's a good idea," Li Banfeng nodded. "I've used this trick against Chu Zikai before."

Hong Ying shook her head and said, "Seventh Son, you're oversimplifying things. Back then, it was a battle of voice cultivators against voice cultivators. Xiao Wan was a master of voice cultivation, so you naturally gained an advantage by using his methods. Now you want to use voice cultivators against Dance Cultivator? Who's messing up whose strategy?"

Not necessarily!

The record player spun its large horn, looking towards Hong Ying, with puffs of steam billowing from the horn's opening, seemingly somewhat angry.

But Hong Ying was right. From the moment they entered the lab, Li Banfeng was led by the rhythm of the Dance Cultivator. If it was like this during a battle, then he must have been singing along with the rhythm of the dance.

"My lord, if you're not confident you can get the first move, you'd better stay away from this person."

"What if we can't dodge it?"

"The peeping cultivator is somewhat restrained from the Dance Cultivator. If my husband were to dance with the Dance Cultivator, the silk threads should be able to detect something unusual."

Hong Ying said, "By the time that stupid earring realizes something is wrong, Seventh Son will have already jumped up with the other side. At that point, his hands won't be accurate, his mind won't be steady, and his steps will be manipulated. How can we fight then?"

The record player couldn't think of a solution either, so Li Banfeng called out, "Grandpa, can you give me some ideas?"

Portable Abode did not respond. Hong Ying said, "This old man was playing with the good stuff you brought back and got too tired. He slept all day and I don't know when he will wake up."

Portable Abode always followed Li Banfeng. Even when the old man was asleep, it didn't stop the train from running.

Actually, what Wife and Hong Ying said makes sense; the key issue is still about taking the initiative.

Let's check on Shen Jingye's side first. If we can find clues about Du Wenming through the wanted poster, that would be perfect. We can just kill Du Wenming and then we won't have to worry about how to deal with him later.

Shen Jingye returned to the Dark Star Bureau. He stopped dancing. To this day, he still doesn't know what happened to him on set; he just feels a bit of back pain.

"The wanted notice has been issued. Now the whole country is searching for people who have yellow Coloring Agent on their bodies, but the photo used is this one. "Li Banfeng looked at the wanted notice and saw that it used the photo of the puppet.

This face is clearly not the real one.

"Why not use Du Wenming's photo?"

Shen Jingye said, "Since the authorities haven't approved the arrest, Du Wenming isn't a suspect yet, so his appearance and name can't appear on the arrest warrant."

"Then let the higher-ups summon Du Wenming for questioning. If he has disappeared, it proves that the puppet is him."

Shen Jingye handed a leave application form to Li Banfeng: "Du Wenming completed the leave application process this afternoon. He said his mother was sick and he needed to go back to his hometown to see her. His superiors approved the leave."

Li Banfeng glanced at the fake document. Du Wenming's mother was in Shiquan Province. According to the registration information on the fake document, he had already boarded a plane at 7 p. m. tonight.

Shen Jingye said, "We sent people to check flight information and railway information, and we also contacted our colleagues at the Shiquan Province Branch to keep watch in Du Wenming's hometown. As soon as Du Wenming returns to his hometown, we will receive the news immediately."

Do you think he'll really go back to his hometown?

"I have to put on a show, after all, I asked my superiors for leave."

"What's the big deal if I don't go back? It's just hiding my whereabouts during my vacation. Is that such a big offense?"

Shen Jingye assessed his capabilities. "If he didn't go back to his hometown, I can arrange a checkup to see if he has Coloring Agent on his body."

"Can't the Coloring Agent be washed off?"

"It can't be washed off, but it has an expiration date."

"What is the deadline?"

"Three days."

Li Banfeng glanced at the calendar on the table. "If we can't catch Du Wenming within three days, he'll swagger back to Yuezhou and continue in his original position. Little Shen, when that time comes, you're in for a tough time."

Shen Jingye knew his situation and that it would be difficult to catch Du Wenming with just a warrant.

"We need to have conventional methods, but we also need to use unconventional methods," Shen Jingye, handing a stack of documents to Li Banfeng. "Based on our initial deductions, the organization capable of kidnapping Yu Yaoming must be a powerful, clandestine organization."

We had two targets in mind: the Birch Hermit Association and the Ferry Gang. The current information on both organizations is here. I'll be in charge of the Hermitage, and you'll be in charge of the Ferry Gang. We should be able to find clues about Du Wenming from them."

Li Banfeng nodded in satisfaction. "Little Shen, you were very proactive in your work this time!"

Shen Jingye pointed to several names on the file. "These people are generally not of high rank, but they are important members of the Ferry Gang."

They have deep roots and wide connections. Although they know a lot, we cannot use harsh interrogation methods, otherwise it will have a negative impact on us. During the investigation, we must also try to avoid these people.

F

Li Banfeng pointed to a man named Guan Zhengzhang: "He seems to have a very high status in the Ferry Gang; many businesses have passed through his hands."

Shen Jingye paused for a moment and then said, "This is a confidential document. Some people's names shouldn't be in the document, Guan Zhengzhang is one of them."

"Why shouldn't he have shown up?"

"Because he is the younger brother of Director Guan Zhengyang, we'd better not investigate him. He's unlikely to cooperate with our investigation and might even cause a lot of trouble for the investigation."

Li Banfeng was somewhat surprised. "This person is so arrogant, his cultivation level must be very high, right?"

"Guan Zhengzhang's cultivation level isn't high, but that's not a matter of cultivation level. Director Li, don't you know Director Guan?"

Li Banfeng shook his head and said, "I really don't know him."

Shen Jingye didn't know how to explain, "Let me put it this way. Last year, an agent from the Dark Star Bureau conducted a routine investigation of Guan Zhengzhang. Guan Zhengzhang humiliated the agent to his face, and the two had an argument."

Afterwards, the agent had an accident on his way home from work, resulting in a permanent disability, and was transferred out of the Dark Star Bureau. You should understand the situation here.

"If that's the case, then we really shouldn't go looking for this person." Li Banfeng picked up his pen and crossed out Guan Zhengzhang's name.

Late at night, Guan Zhengzhang returned to the villa, where two women came forward to help him wash up and change his clothes.

A woman's fingernail broke, and she accidentally scratched Guan Zhengzhang's arm.

Guan Zhengzhang frowned slightly but remained silent.

The woman, still shaken, cautiously followed Guan Zhengzhang to the bathroom door.

Guan Zhengzhang entered the bathroom, suddenly picked up a glass ashtray, turned around abruptly, and smashed it on the woman's head.

The woman squatted on the ground, Guan Zhengzhang stepped forward and kicked her in the face a few times.

The woman's face was covered in blood; she dared not utter a sound, nor even dared to use her hands to shield herself.

Guan Zhengzhang was in a very bad mood. Another woman saw that the bath water was ready and wanted to test the temperature, but Guan Zhengzhang slapped her and pushed her out.

"Get out!" Guan Zhengzhang closed the door and soaked in the hot water alone, rubbing his forehead with the hot water again and again.

Li Banfeng asked, "Have you encountered something bothering you?"

Guan Zhengzhang was startled and turned around, asking, "Who are you?"

Li Banfeng said, "I'm one of Director Du's men. I'm here to investigate some things with you."

"Um, which one, Director—." Guan Zhengzhang picked up the fruit plate next to the bathtub.

Li Banfeng took the fruit plate, picked up a mango, and stuffed it into Guan Zhengzhang's mouth.

"You can't say his name, right? Because you're afraid to."

Guan Zhengzhang jumped out of the bathtub, wanting to fight Li Banfeng to the death.

Li Banfeng grabbed Guan Zhengzhang by the hair and slammed his head against the water tap.

After the first impact, Guan Zhengzhang lost several teeth but was still putting up a fight.

After being hit a second time, Guan Zhengzhang had a hole in his face. He bowed to Li Banfeng, indicating his willingness to cooperate with the investigation.

"Alright, let's find another place to sit then." Li Banfeng escorted Guan Zhengzhang back to his Portable Abode.

After dealing with Guan Zhengzhang, Li Banfeng, facing the famous list, found two more people and prepared to bring them together for a good talk.

On his way home, he received a call from Shen Jingye: "Guan Zhengzhang has disappeared. He just returned to the villa, went into the bathroom, and then vanished!"

Li Banfeng was shocked. "How could this be? Is Du Wenming still in Yuezhou?"

Shen Jingye said: You mean, Guan Zhengzhang was silenced by Du Wenming?

PS: No doubt about it, Du Wenming was the one who did this!

Little Shen, Li Qi hasn't been paid enough yet!
