“shit, why are there people from the City Lord’s Estate at this time?”

Shao Feng recalled how General Manager Zhao had come over to buy the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf from Lin Bai. Although he had left after learning that the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf was not in Lin Bai’s hands, he had a bad feeling in his heart for some reason.

Could it be that Lin Bai was up to something again?

He instructed in a low voice, “Keep an eye on them. If anyone escapes, you’ll be held accountable.”

After saying this, he hurriedly ran to the front hall. This time, there was another middle-aged man besides Manager Zhao. Judging from his attire, he should be from the Alchemist Association. The uneasiness in his heart grew stronger and stronger.

“General Manager Zhao, why did you have to make another trip? Have you found the Howling Moon Celestial Wolf?”

General Manager Zhao shook his head. “No. This time, I came here hoping that Lin Bai could make a trip to the City Lord’s Estate.”

Shao Feng’s smile instantly froze on his face. “Why do you suddenly want Lin Bai to go to the City Lord’s Estate?”

General Manager Zhao did not want to talk to him anymore. He could only vaguely say, “In short, we have an urgent matter to look for Lin Bai. It’s not convenient for us to tell you at the moment. I hope that Master Shao can understand.”

Shao Feng’s expression gradually faded. “To tell you the truth, Lin Bai is suspected of killing my youngest son. I’m about to arrest him and bring him to justice. It’s really not convenient to hand him over. General Manager Zhao, see if you can make an exception.”

General Manager Zhao immediately revealed a troubled expression. The Shao family’s position in the capital city was not low. Moreover, Shao Feng had already said this. It would not be good for him to make Shao Feng lose face. If this were anything else, it would be fine.

However, everyone knew that Shao Feng was extremely fond of his youngest son. If Lin Bai was involved in this matter, the Shao family would not easily let him go even if he spoke up. Moreover, it would be too difficult for them to do so.

As expected, Manager Zhao said in a low voice, “Alchemist Chen, you heard what Master Shao said. I think we should forget about it. After all, Lin Bai is his enemy who killed his son. We don’t need him. Why don’t we look at the other alchemists?”

Chen Yan’s heart skipped a beat. He knew that this matter was going to fail when he heard General Manager Zhao. However, regardless of whether it was for himself or his master, he had to protect Lin Bai no matter what.

He hurriedly pulled General Manager Zhao to the side and said in a low voice, “General Manager Zhao, this Lin Bai is not someone that ordinary alchemists can compare to. His talent is outstanding. He can even be described as a monster.”

After all, Lin Bai was able to refine a grade seven medicinal pill when he did not know anything back then. Later on, when he fought with Zhong Haoran and the others, he won so brilliantly. It was simply unprecedented.

Chen Yan had a faint premonition that Lin Bai’s arrival might become a great help to him and his master.

General Manager Zhao was a little helpless. “But we can’t persuade the Shao family’s side.”

“Now that the City Lord is at a critical juncture, the Vice City Lord has already spoken. We must refine the pill as soon as possible. We must not let go of any possibility or opportunity. I know Lin Bai’s ability. It will be of great help to us. I believe General Manager Zhao will prioritise the City Lord above all else.”

These words entered General Manager Zhao’s heart. Seeing that he was a little shaken, Chen Yan quickly struck while the iron was hot.

“General manager Zhao, you’re loyal to the City Lord. You absolutely won’t let him fall into danger. Moreover, if the Vice City Lord were here today, he would definitely choose to bring Lin Bai back.”

As expected, General Manager Zhao seemed to have made up his mind. “Master Shao, I can understand the pain of losing your son. Do you have any conclusive evidence in your hands that proves that Lin Bai is the murderer of your son?”

Shao Feng hesitated for a moment and said, “Someone once saw Lin Bai using a wooden sword in the Alchemy Association, and the one who killed my son was also a wooden sword.”

Chen Yan could not help but say, “A wooden sword alone doesn’t prove anything. There are so many people who use swords in the world, so it’s not unusual for them to use wooden swords. Master Shao, please bring Lin Bai here first so that we don’t accuse the good people.”

Seeing manager Zhao’s insistence, Shao Feng had no choice but to ask someone to bring Lin Bai up.

When Chen Yan saw that Lin Bai was safe and sound, he could not help but heave a sigh of relief. He was also quite surprised in his heart. It must be known that he had clearly seen how serious Lin Bai’s injury was before.

In the end, it had only been a short while, but he was already lively and well. He was even involved in the matter of killing Shao Feng’s son.

Lin Bai did not seem to have expected to see Chen Yan here. Their gazes met in mid-air, but Shao Feng’s expression became even more unsightly. He knew that Lin Bai and Chen Yan were old acquaintances.

It was Chen Yan who had brought Lin Bai into the Alchemy Association back then. Now that Chen Yan had appeared here, he knew that nothing good would happen, so he could not help but ridicule him.

“Alchemist Chen, just because of your relationship with Lin Bai, you can not bend the law for personal gain and try to get Lin Bai off. I must seek justice for my son. Only then can I comfort his soul in heaven.”

Chen Yan would not let him spill dirty water so easily.

“Master Shao, I did not bend the law for personal gain. I am only upholding fairness and justice. Your evidence is indeed insufficient to prove that Lin Bai is the murderer. If you were to rashly convict him just like that, you would be suspected of falsely accusing a good person.”

Chen Yan’s gaze fell on Lin Bai. He said solemnly, “Lin Bai, tell me everything that happened. Don’t leave out anything. Don’t worry. Manager Zhao and I will definitely uphold justice for you.”

When the other elder of the Shao family heard this, he could not contain his anger and said, “You’re just an outsider. How dare you interfere and give advice to the Shao family and uphold justice? You’re really meddling in other people’s business!”

Shao Feng reprimanded, “Don’t be rude.”

Although he tried to stop him, his tone and manner showed that he felt this elder was right.. Even the City Lord’s Estate could not interfere in their family affairs.
