C2870 Meet an Old Friend(3)
Sure enough, in the next second, Lu Yanlin pushed open the gate of the City Lord's Palace and walked straight towards Faang Cheng and the others who were standing at the entrance with a surprised and happy smile on his face.
"Fang Jiang... Young Master Fang, why did you suddenly come here? Before you came, you should have found someone to inform me so that I could pick you up at the city gate!"
Lu Yanlin took a few large steps in front of Faang Cheng and said sincerely.
"Why would I pick it up? I'm not without legs. I can't walk on my own!"
Faang Cheng said to Lu Yanlin with a smile.
"I'm also here to do something else. Since I've more or less finished my business, I thought of coming over to see you! Coincidentally, I have something that I need your help with."
He also spoke the truth.
"What do you mean help or not? Just tell me. I will do my best. Well, let's not stand at the door and talk. Come on, let's go in and have a rest. I will ask the kitchen to prepare dinner. Let's sit down and have a good talk."
Lu Yanlin hurriedly made way and invited Faang Cheng and the other two into the City Lord's Mansion.
"Alright, since we haven't had dinner yet, we'll just freeload a meal from you."
Faang Cheng said with a smile. Then, he politely let Senior Gu King enter the City Lord's Palace first. Then, he brought Yuan Yue and Lu Yanlin to the main hall of the City Lord's Palace.
Lu Yanlin was also a person with a high EQ and knew how to read the situation. When he saw Faang Cheng treating the white-haired old man with utmost respect, he naturally treated him with the same respect and did not dare to neglect him in the slightest.
At this moment, however, the two guards felt a lingering fear in their hearts. Fortunately, they were careful enough not to block Faang Cheng, who did not have an invitation, outside the door. Otherwise... Looking at the City Lord's attitude, if they offended this Young Master Fang, they would probably lose their jobs.
Lu Yanlin led Faang Cheng and the others into the main hall. The few people who had just followed behind Lu Yanlin did not dare to say a word. Faang Cheng had actually seen these people before. They were all in charge of the various departments in Fringe City.
Seeing Faang Cheng's friendly gaze, the people in charge quickly greeted him.
"Young Master Fang!
"Greetings, Young Master Fang!"
Everyone was very respectful.
"Yes, long time no see!"
Faang Cheng also gave them a friendly smile. It seemed that Lu Yanlin had been talking to them, and his sudden appearance had interrupted their conversation.
"Are you guys talking about something? Do you want me to leave first?"
Faang Cheng said in a reasonable tone.
"There's no need for that. I've already said what I needed to say. Even if I didn't finish, there's no need for me to avoid you!"
Lu Yanlin smiled and looked at his subordinates.
"Okay. You just do what I said. Just give me a progress report for each stage."
Lu Yanlin said to his subordinates.
"Yes!"
His subordinates nodded in agreement.
"Take it. There's nothing else to do today. You guys can go back first."
Lu Yanlin waved his hand at his subordinates.
"Okay, then City Lord, we'll go back first. Young Master Fang, we'll be leaving first."
After bidding farewell to their City Lord Lu Yanlin, the few of them bid Faang Cheng farewell respectfully before turning around and leaving.
"Alright, they're gone. If Young Master Fang has anything he wants me to do, feel free to tell me!"
Lu Yanlin looked at Faang Cheng.
"Brother Lu, since there are no outsiders around, I won't call you City Lord Lu anymore, alright? You don't have to call me Young Master anymore. Just call me Faang Cheng or Brother Fang. It's too awkward."
Faang Cheng looked at Lu Yanlin and shook his head helplessly before taking a sip of tea.
"Haha, alright. In that case, let's just call each other Brother Fang like before. If there's anything you need, just say it. I will definitely do my best to help you."
Hearing Faang Cheng's words, Lu Yanlin could not help but smile and nod in agreement.
"It's not a big deal. You just need to issue a warrant for the patrol and the guards at the gate to look for a man with a feminine face, graying hair, mental disorders, and probably mental disorders. If we do, we can capture him if we can, but if we're not sure, we can keep an eye on him and then send someone back to tell us we're going to capture him."
Faang Cheng briefly explained his request. Since the cause and effect were too long, he did not have the time to explain in detail.
However, Lu Yanlin did not need Faang Cheng to explain the entire situation to him. After hearing Faang Cheng's words, he pondered for a moment on how to deal with the situation before calling for his personal attendant.
"Call the patrol and the gate guards and tell them to keep an eye on a effeminate man with graying hair and a screw loose. The other party may be very capable, and if they can subdue him, they will be able to do so, according to the circumstances of the scene. But if you are not sure that you will be able to resist the power of the other party, then follow him while keeping you safe, and send a messenger back to the palace to report. Do you understand?"
Lu Yanlin's words were clear, and the servant heard them clearly.
"I understand, City Lord. I will go now!"
The servant nodded in agreement, and then he turned around and walked towards the gate of the City Lord's Mansion.
"You're fast."
Seeing Lu Yanlin's actions, Faang Cheng smiled and gave him a thumbs up.
"Brother Fang's request must be fulfilled. However..."
Lu Yanlin looked at the Gu King who was sitting at the side and quietly drinking his tea. He seemed to have some doubts.
"Fringe City... did something happen?"
Lu Yanlin understood too well that something that could make Faang Cheng come here personally was definitely not a small matter. As the City Lord of this city, he still had the obligation to ask this person about what happened in his city. If there was any danger, even if it endangered the lives of the people in the city, he had to prepare in advance.
Furthermore, he had already given the order for Faang Cheng to ask for his help. At this moment, he had the time to ask Faang Cheng what exactly had happened.
"It's a little complicated. It's not just in Fringe City, it's in Seahold, and even... I suspect there must be a lot of it happening all over the Pantheon, or it's already happened."
Following that, Faang Cheng gave Lu Yanlin a brief summary of what had happened in the Zhu family's residence, as well as a few similar incidents that had happened in Seahold.
