142: Winning over Zhang Lingyu

In Tianjin, Zhang Chulan and Feng Baobao had just gotten off the plane, and Xu San and Xu Si were also there.

"Third Brother, Fourth Brother, why are you here?"

Xu Si looked at Zhang Chulan with displeasure.

"Why are we here? How could we not come? You've caused such a ruckus."

"Don't you know, you've been targeted?"

"By whom?"

"Lu Linglong and Lu Lin of the Lu Family!"

Zhang Chulan's eyes immediately went dark.

"Why would they target me?"

Xu San sneered, "Then why don't you look at the good deeds you've done?"

"Quickly tell us, what exactly happened?"

Zhang Chulan immediately recounted everything that had happened.

After hearing these things, Xu Si was furious and punched Zhang Chulan in the stomach.

"Ah!!!"

Zhang Chulan knelt on the ground, groaning in pain.

"Fourth Brother! What are you doing!?"

Xu San quickly pulled Xu Si back.

"Zhang Chulan! Are you crazy!! Your guts are getting bigger and bigger! You're secretly acting with Xia Liuqing and Mei Jinfeng of Quansheng, and you even dragged Wang Zhenqiu along."

"Now more and more people are involved, and you've added Lin Yuan. Do you think he won't suspect anything? Do you think he's a fool? If he finds out anything, all of us combined will be wiped out by Lin Yuan!"

"Do you think this is a game? That you can reload and start over?"

Xu Si kept questioning him angrily.

Zhang Chulan slowly got up from the ground. He took out a photo from his pocket.

"You look first."

"This is... Bao'er??"

Xu Si took the photo, looked closely, and his pupils suddenly contracted.

In the photo, a girl wearing a red cotton coat and braided pigtails looked exactly like Feng Baobao.

"From the Treasure Trove left by Rootless Life, I finally found a clue."

"Only I know about this. Before I went in, I asked Martial Uncle Lin Yuan to help me seal the entrance, and even he didn't know about this thing."

"The situation was very urgent at the time. I could only take a photo and then destroy the original on site. After entering the city, I printed the photo, and the photos on my phone were also cleared."

"Fourth Brother, this photo is very strange, it seems to have been left on purpose. Before I went, Rootless Life's collection had already been emptied."

"If the person in this photo is really Sister Bao'er, those people must have targeted her long ago."

Xu Si narrowed his eyes.

"What's your plan next?"

Zhang Chulan scratched his head.

"The other party's power is very strong, and their identity is unknown. I definitely can't do it alone. I need someone to help us."

"I heard that Zhang Lingyu was driven down the mountain. I want to bring him in. It will be safer to act with him."

Xu San shook his head.

"Many people already know about Bao'er's matter, Zhang Chulan, and you still want to drag another person into this?"

Zhang Chulan said calmly:

"Now, the only usable strength around Sister Bao'er is you two, Third Brother and Fourth Brother, and it's far from enough."

Xu San immediately retorted:

"But we can't put an outsider whose background we don't know next to Feng Baobao, can we?"

"What do you mean by outsider? Has the Old Celestial Master ever treated me as an outsider? Every time I ask Martial Uncle Lin Yuan for help, has he not helped?"

"Could it be that to the Tianshi Mansion, I really am an outsider?"

"Now my biggest backer is Mount Longhu's Tianshi Mansion! The two people who can help me the most are my Martial Granduncle and Martial Uncle Lin Yuan."

"Moreover, everyone in the entire Tianshi Mansion knows that Lin Yuan has the best relationship with Zhang Lingyu on the mountain on a daily basis!"

"If something really happens to us, I don't even need to ask Martial Uncle Lin Yuan for help, he will definitely help us."

"I ask the entire Outsider World! Who dares to touch Martial Uncle Lin Yuan!"

Zhang Chulan actually knew in his heart that Lin Yuan didn't have much affection for him, and his previous help was purely for his Martial Granduncle's Face.

If Martial Uncle Lin Yuan didn't want to help later, he couldn't force him to help, could he?

But with Zhang Lingyu there, it would be different. Zhang Lingyu and Lin Yuan are legitimate Senior Brothers, and with him coming forward, Lin Yuan would most likely be drawn into his camp.

Martial Uncle Lin Yuan, I'm sorry! You wouldn't want Zhang Lingyu to have an accident, would you?

Xu San shook his head.

"No, there are too many variables! It's too risky!"

Lin Yuan immediately pressed:

"Third Brother, I ask you! What is our biggest advantage?"

"That is, no one knows our true purpose! We are in the dark! We can act opportunistically!"

"Now they've slapped this painting in our Face! They already know our purpose!"

"Now, who is the other party! Unknown! What is their strength! Unknown! Who is the leader, still unknown!"

"You've had your underwear pulled down, and you don't even know who the pervert is."

Zhang Chulan continued:

"The reason I chose to win over Zhang Lingyu is also because I've investigated him! First of all, he is very simple and a kind person."

Xu San wanted to retort, but when he thought that what Zhang Chulan said made sense, he couldn't say anything.

Xu San and Xu Si also tacitly agreed with Zhang Chulan's idea.

Zhang Chulan continued to press:

"Oh, by the way, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, how much do you know about the Lu Family's affairs?"

Xu Si frowned.

"Why are you suddenly asking about this? This Family is very troublesome to deal with."

Zhang Chulan was slightly startled.

"Before, I heard the Old Man of the Lu Family tell me to get less involved in the Lu Family's affairs."

Xu Si nodded.

"That's right, among the well-known Families I've encountered, the Lu Family is the most abnormal and crazy."

"Sometimes I wonder if the people in this Family are possessed. This Family places great importance on so-called bloodlines."

"Their Mind-Plumbing Art, which can control other people's minds, has also been preserved."

"The Lu Family has two prized possessions: one is the Acquired Willful Strength Technique, and the other is the Innate Mind-Plumbing Art."

"Lu Family Village is also very closed off. Everyone in the village has the surname Lu, except for a few outsiders who are male; all other outsiders are live-in sons-in-law."

"These live-in sons-in-law live well in the Lu Family, not lacking money, but their status in the Family is very low because the Willful Strength Technique is passed down to males, not females."

"The Lu Family ensures that all people with the Mind-Plumbing Art have the surname Lu through this method."

"And the only person with absolute control over the Lu Family is the current Clan Chief, Lü Ci."

"That's all I know."

After saying that, Xu Si lit a cigarette for himself and exhaled a puff of white smoke.

Xu San frowned.

"Zhang Chulan, you're not planning to start with the Lu Family, are you? That's very dangerous."

Zhang Chulan shook his head.

"I don't have that plan for now, Third Brother, Fourth Brother, please help me keep an eye on things. If anything happens, notify me immediately."
