"Does Master mean I should help track down Senior Sister Liu Jun?"
Inside the blacksmith's shop on Blackwater Street.
Su Hao looked at Liu Chongshan with some doubt and asked uncertainly.
He never expected that Master Liu would come today for this very reason.
"Um—I've recently gotten myself into some trouble, so I can't show myself. I'll have to trouble you—"
Liu Chongshan sighed and shook his head helplessly.
If not, and if there were no other way, he wouldn't have bothered Su Hao.
"Master, have you discovered any clues?"
Su Hao did not answer immediately.
Instead, they first carefully inquired about the specific circumstances.
Everyone knows that the situation in the city is currently turbulent, and one wrong move could lead to being mired in trouble and unable to protect oneself.
Therefore, caution is needed before making any decision.
"I've received a tip that someone is planning something bad for Liu Jun, probably in about five days at the Fuquan Restaurant. During those days, keep an eye on her whereabouts. This is her current address. Notify me if anything happens—"
After Liu Chongshan finished speaking, he took out a piece of paper from his pocket, handed it directly to Su Hao, and placed it on the table.
"After it's done, I'll give you the reward you deserve—"
Upon hearing this, Su Hao couldn't help but sigh helplessly.
Since Master Liu has already put it this way, it would be too unreasonable for him to refuse.
After all, no matter what, this is the master's business.
The fact that Liu Shi was willing to swallow his pride and ask for help, even offering to pay for it himself, speaks volumes about his current predicament – it's not easy for him.
"Master, forget about the payment—I'll do my best!"
Once Su Hao understood this, he didn't delay any longer and stood up to bow.
Although he was very reluctant to get involved in this matter, at least he didn't have to have face-to-face contact with Liu Jun and his people, which was alright.
After what happened last time, he now avoids Liu Jun at all costs.
There was nothing that could be done about it; after all, the other party was still Master Liu's daughter.
Once a conflict breaks out between the two sides, it will be difficult to resolve the situation no matter what they do.
"Then I'll have to trouble you—" Liu Chongshan breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing Su Hao's words.
The reason he sought Su Hao's help instead of anyone else was twofold: first, he didn't want to reveal his whereabouts, and second, he naturally trusted Su Hao.
At this point, he doesn't even dare to believe his own daughter; the only person he can trust is Su Hao!
"Master, you flatter me—"
Su Hao shook his head, then seemed to have thought of something, and after a moment of contemplation, he said, "Master, now that we've taken on this job, what if the same thing happens again—"
"If what happened before happens again, you can handle it yourself. Do whatever you need to do, just keep her alive."
Liu Chongshan waved his hand and said calmly.
"good--"
Su Hao nodded, feeling relieved as well.
It should be noted that Liu Jun is quite strong, and he is at the level of Yue Shan Fist, at the third level of the Bronze Skin Realm.
If something unpleasant happens and the two sides end up fighting, there will inevitably be injuries. He doesn't want to feel as stifled as before.
Now that Master Liu had said that, he no longer had many concerns.
After chatting for a while longer, Liu Chongshan left the blacksmith shop.
Su Hao watched the other person disappear into the snow and ice, and sighed again.
Seeing that it was still early, he returned to the blacksmith shop to continue his daily forging.
But it had only just begun when several more figures entered the blacksmith shop.
Su Hao turned his head and saw that it was Yang Lu and his group from the Rice Gang.
"Haha! Master Su—long time no see, how have you been!"
As soon as Yang Lu entered the shop, he greeted Su Hao loudly.
"Master Yang, I hadn't seen you for the past few days. I thought our contract was going to be void—"
When Su Hao saw the other party arrive, a smile appeared on his face.
I've waited so many days, and finally this guy has arrived.
"Alas—speaking of this, we still need to ask Master Su for his understanding—recently, the gang has been very busy with affairs, and there are many dangers involved. If we don't completely resolve these problems, how can we ask Master Su to risk his life?"
Yang Lu bowed apologetically and clasped his hands in a fist salute.
"Therefore, it was my fault for breaking my promise this time, and I hope Master Su will accept these compensations—"
Yang Lu waved to his henchmen behind him to bring some exquisite wooden boxes. They opened them and found bottles and jars inside, which looked like medicine powder or something similar.
As one of the leaders of the Rice Gang, Yang Lu was naturally very adept at interpersonal relationships. Although it was hard to tell how true or false his words were, they were at least decent and easy for people to accept.
Seeing the other party's sincerity, Su Hao's opinion of Yang Lu changed somewhat.
At least in terms of interpersonal relationships, this person is the second best among all the people I have met, besides Zhou Zhengtang!
You should know that the other party belongs to the Mi Gang, one of the three gangs and two factions in the entire Yanshan City.
Even so, the other party still maintained an extremely humble attitude and handled the problem in a tactful, meticulous, and watertight manner.
"Master Yang is too kind. Everyone breaks their promises sometimes, so there's no need to take it to heart."
Su Hao, in response, took the opportunity to back down and stopped there.
He didn't really care about this matter to begin with, and if he hadn't received the advance payment from the other party, he would have preferred to break the promise.
But since we've received the benefits, we naturally have to do what we promised.
Anyway, he had decided that after this collaboration, he would not continue to cooperate with these people. "Then thank you for your understanding, Master Su." Yang Lu bowed again, and then continued, "Since that's the case, then I won't beat around the bush. Master Su, I've decided to set off tomorrow for three days of forging. I wonder if Master Su has the time?"
"Tomorrow? So rushed?"
Su Hao was taken aback when he heard this.
"Yes, tomorrow. This is an order from the gang, and I can't do anything about it—"
Yang Lu shrugged and gave a wry smile.
This is not something he can decide alone.
After all, this matter involves too many aspects, and it would be impossible to carry it out without taking care of all aspects in advance.
"I understand. But I don't know what time it will be tomorrow, where I'll be going, or where I should wait."
Su Hao nodded in agreement, but didn't think much of it. Instead, he asked the other party about the departure time and location.
"We'll depart tomorrow at Chenshi (7-9 AM). The starting point is a place called Shuangyanzhuang outside the city of my Rice Gang, about ten li northwest of Yanshan!"
Yang Lu didn't hide anything from Su Hao and told him everything.
"Master Su only needs to bring some changes of clothes. We provide food, drink and lodging. You don't need to prepare anything else."
Yang Lu added.
