216: Chapter 213 Having accomplished his task, he departed without a trace.

Watching his Path of the Grandmaster change to [ 2 / 4 ], Li Changsheng stood up calmly.

He looked at himself; he was very clean, with no bloodstains on him.

Looking down, he saw that this pair of leather shoes was ruined.

With a few bursts of hidden force, he stomped his feet, and the shoes were instantly destroyed.

He took off the leather shoes, turned them over, and saw a deep footprint on the soles.

He looked around, took that official kiln porcelain vase from the shelf, and threw the ruined shoes inside.

He compared the sizes of one of them and put on the shoes of one of the bodyguards.

After doing this, he looked around again and threw the cigarette butt he had smoked into the official kiln porcelain vase as well.

He adjusted his collar, picked up the official kiln porcelain vase, didn't look at the other antiques again, and turned to walk toward the door.

This Master Guo was definitely a restless character.

He dared to collect bronze ware and had so many restricted antiques; if he returned to the country, he would be eating a pound of lead bullets.

"Brother Liu, it seemed like there was some movement inside just now?"

"Really? How come I didn't hear anything?"

"There really was, though it was very faint. But it's hard to say; when Master Guo built this villa, he considered doing 'that kind of business', so the soundproofing is top-notch."

"That's true. Since you heard some movement, it must have been quite a commotion inside."

The two bodyguards at the door had no intention of continuing to play with Li Changsheng's scepter and prepared to go inside to check on the situation.

To avoid being scolded by Master Guo later, the two of them knocked on the door first.

"Master Guo?"

"Master Guo, is everything alright inside?"

"Master Guo?"

After knocking a few times and seeing that there was absolutely no movement inside, the two looked at each other with grave expressions.

Without further thought, they pushed the door open to enter.

However, as soon as they touched the door, it opened automatically.

The two were staring intently into the door gap, but the next instant, two large hands suddenly reached out and grabbed them both by the collars.

Under the immense force, they had no time to resist at all.

Creak~

A minute later, Li Changsheng walked out of the villa, once again impeccably dressed. He turned around, gently closed the door, and walked away calmly, holding the official kiln porcelain in one hand and leaning on his cane with the other.

Passing by a garden, two people in a distant pavilion looked over, exchanged glances, and shook their heads.

There were both hidden and open sentries here, but they all glanced at Li Changsheng, then reached out to cover their earpieces. Seeing that there were no instructions in their headsets, they paid him no further mind.

Walking out of the main gate, he saw the two bodyguards at the entrance once again.

"Finished chatting?"

"Yes," Li Changsheng said with a chuckle, appearing very approachable, as gentle and refined as ever.

"Did Master Guo give this to you?"

"Yes, I heard it's an antique. Master Guo is really something; he's so generous!"

"That's right! Our Master Guo has always been generous."

Hearing this, although the bodyguards chuckled, their brows furrowed slightly.

Seeing this, Li Changsheng looked around and lowered his voice with a smile: "You two have worked so hard; this is just a small token of my appreciation."

As he spoke, he made a gesture as if to reach into his pocket, but then paused after looking around the courtyard.

Seeing this, the two bodyguards exchanged a knowing look, then walked behind a screen outside the gate as if pacing, and then beckoned to Li Changsheng.

Li Changsheng smiled.

A moment later, he had changed into casual clothes and was sitting in a muscle car with no identifying information.

Beside him sat the official kiln blue and white porcelain; other than that, the previous suit, gloves, and top hat had all disappeared.

In their place was a sunny, handsome Asian youth wearing light-colored sunglasses and a light-colored outfit.

Glancing at the villa area in the distance on the beach, humming a tune with an unclear melody, Li Changsheng drove the muscle car speeding along the coastal highway.

About ten minutes after Li Changsheng left the villa, the entire villa was in an uproar.

It wasn't that the sentries had discovered an abnormality, but rather that the cleaning servants had discovered the mess in the living room, which then alarmed everyone.

Soon, the entire villa was in a complete frenzy. A large number of men in suits patrolled the house, and soon even the two bodyguards at the door discovered the situation.

The corpses were lying in the flower bed outside the gate, their throats crushed by violent force.

If this had happened to ordinary people, it would have quickly alarmed the FBI.

But the situation within the Fuxing Gang was complicated, and given that they were already in the spotlight recently, they wouldn't call the police. Thus, several prestigious elders of the Gang rushed to the villa.

Looking at the several corpses that had already been neatly arranged in the living room, everyone had different expressions.

It was strange; apart from a few who showed resentment, the others, especially those elders, looked calm, as if they were looking at a trivial matter.

"Have you checked clearly? How did they die, and who did it?"

A white-haired elder with a thick head of hair sat on the re-arranged sofa. His eyes were slightly closed, but his eyebrows were raised like a hawk's, and he had a hooked nose. Just by looking at his face, one knew this old man was not to be trifled with.

"We don't know who did it yet. According to the servant's description, Master Guo was meeting an important guest at the time, a very young Asian man.

However, it is a pity that this person was very cautious; almost everyone who had met him and knew his intentions is already dead.

The servant might have died too, but she was cleaning the swimming pool in the backyard at the time, so..."

A middle-aged man from the Fuxing Gang said with a grave expression.

"So... now there isn't a single clue?" The hook-nosed elder raised his eyes slightly and said flatly.

"Not exactly... We discovered that several of Master Guo's men were killed by brute force with bare hands, and Master Guo died from one of the collection items in this room.

Therefore, I judge that this person was not carrying any weapons at the time.

In addition, we all know Wang Hai's strength; he is a good fighter, but now he has also been killed, and traces of a fierce struggle were found on him.

This person must be a martial arts expert."

"So there's still no clue. This bit of information is worthless; there are too many people who can fight in this world."

The hook-nosed elder shook his head, sighed lightly, glanced at the corpses on the ground, and said flatly: "Bury them all properly. Make proper arrangements for their families; our Fuxing Gang will not mistreat meritorious officials.

Besides..."

As he spoke, the elder looked at the resentful middle-aged man to the side and reminded him in a low voice: "Xiao Dong... don't be in a rush regarding your father's matter...

Our Fuxing Gang is in big trouble right now; endure it for now. When the time comes, I, Master Cai, will give you an explanation."

"Master Cai... is there really no way? My father cannot die so unclearly!!"

The middle-aged man was a bit anxious. He was Master Guo's eldest son and had always worked hard alongside Master Guo; he had the deepest affection for him.

"I know... so you are not willing to listen to me, Master Cai, now?"

The hawk-eyed elder's words immediately blocked everything the middle-aged man wanted to say.

He became as quiet as a mouse seeing a cat.

Seeing this, the hawk-eyed elder shook his head, his expression still flat, as if he didn't take this little episode to heart.

"By the way, Master Cai, should we alert Freddy's side? I suspect that this matter..."

The previous middle-aged subordinate suddenly seemed to think of something and hurriedly whispered into his ear.

"No need. Freddy is much more cautious than old Guo. If today's matter is related to the previous one, it's just as well to let Freddy make the move, and we can just watch the show."

Master Cai shook his head. He closed his eyes again, as if taking a nap.

Hearing this, the middle-aged subordinate stood silently to the side, his brain thinking rapidly.

This was nothing more than a test. If that person continued to attack Freddy, then the whole matter would be connected.

Whether Freddy was taken out or he took out the killer, it made no difference to them.

If he was taken out, it meant Master Wen's hidden strength was formidable, and they should be more obedient and follow the rules when they encounter Hongmen in the future. They wouldn't even think about revenge.

If he took out the killer, they wouldn't need to do anything either. With Freddy's vengeful nature, he would definitely go and trouble Master Wen, and they would still not need to do anything, just sit and wait to reap the benefits.

The middle-aged subordinate glanced calmly at the elder sitting in front of him with his eyes closed, feeling incomparable admiration in his heart.

The older they get, the more cunning they become.

This assassination event actually helped Master Cai get rid of an increasingly powerful junior, and indirectly tested the strength of Freddy and Master Wen.
