I said, "You can go back now."
Gu Lingfeng was taken aback. "Go back? Where to?"
I replied, "Home, or back to Lu Yitau, it's up to you."
Gu Lingfeng was stunned. "But... but if I go back..."
I said coldly, "If you don't go back, Lu Yitau will suspect you."
Gu Lingfeng's body trembled as he suddenly understood. "You're right, you're right!"
I stared at him. "Remember, you are no longer alone."
Gu Lingfeng asked in confusion, "What do you mean?"
I slowly said, "You are now an undercover agent for our Shadow Garb Bureau."
Gu Lingfeng was shocked. "When did I...?"
I interrupted him. "Just now."
Gu Lingfeng opened his mouth but couldn't find the words.
I patted his shoulder. "Don't worry, as long as you cooperate with us, we won't treat you poorly. Once you've helped us finish our tasks, we'll send you away from here. At that time, you can take the money and leave with your wife."
Gu Lingfeng hesitated for a moment before slowly nodding. "Okay, I'll listen to you."
A smile appeared on my face. "That's more like it."
He took out three banknotes and placed them in front of Gu Lingfeng. "This is thirty thousand taels; take it to save your wife."
Gu Lingfeng hurriedly picked up the silver note, counted it once, and a look of excitement appeared on his face. "Thank you, thank you!"
I smiled faintly. "No need to be polite; this is what you deserve."
Gu Lingfeng carefully tucked the silver note away and stood up. "Then... should I go back now?"
I nodded. "Go back, and remember what I told you."
Gu Lingfeng repeatedly agreed and turned to walk out.
But just as he reached the door, I suddenly called out to him again.
Gu Lingfeng was taken aback and turned around, looking at me in confusion.
I stared at him and said coldly, "You need to remember that you are now our subordinate. It would be easy for us to kill you, so you'd better not try any tricks on us. Otherwise—"
I didn't finish my sentence, but Gu Lingfeng understood.
Cold sweat immediately broke out on his forehead. "I understand, I understand..."
I replied, "That's good. Now go."
Gu Lingfeng sighed in relief and turned to leave.
Liu Liu watched him go and frowned. "My lord, can we really trust someone like him?"
I replied coldly, "Of course I know he is unreliable; I just wanted to scare him a bit."
Liu Liu hesitated. "But if you give him money, isn't that…"
A smirk curled at the corner of my mouth. "Money? That thirty thousand taels were originally taken from his family."
Liu Liu was taken aback. "Do you mean...?"
I replied lightly, "I just drew a pie for him."
Liu Liu suddenly understood and couldn't help but laugh. "You are brilliant, my lord!"
I smiled and glanced at my watch. "Alright, it's about time. Let's get ready to act."
"Yes!" Liu Liu responded quickly.
Lu Yitau's son is named Lu Qiheng. He is twenty-five years old and spends his days idly.
His favorite place to go is a residence called Sai Jinhua, where the most beautiful women of Golden Lake are found.
I brought people and lay in wait across from the Sai Jinhua residence for three or four hours, finally seeing a carriage stop at the entrance. A young man in a cloak got down and walked into the residence.
That person was Lu Qiheng.
I patiently waited.
After nearly two hours, when it was completely dark, I finally saw Lu Qiheng walk out of the residence.
