Chu Li smiled and said, "Didn't expect that, did you?"

"How could there be so many?" Chen Siyu frowned and looked at him. "Especially Chen Xuefeng..."

Chen Xuefeng was a trusted aide she valued highly, originally loyal to her husband. After her husband's death, he turned to her. He was quick in action but slow in speech, and since she took over as the leader of the gang, she had relied on him heavily, intending to cultivate him.

But she never expected to see his name on this list!

"Chen Xuefeng," Chu Li pondered for a moment, "he isn't an informant for the Qitian Gang, but for the Luohuai Gang."

"Luohuai Gang..." Chen Siyu's frown deepened. "The Luohuai Gang from Baiyun City?"

"It should be them," Chu Li said. "He is a seed planted by the Luohuai Gang, having been in hiding for a long time, waiting to reach a high position to deliver a fatal blow. The Jingyun Gang and the Luohuai Gang have deep-seated enmity, right?"

"This happened twenty years ago. The Luohuai Gang was originally a gang in Yunzhou City," Chen Siyu explained. "Later, they were defeated by the Jingyun Gang and had to leave Yunzhou City, moving to Baiyun City. I didn't expect them to never give up."

"Far-sighted," Chu Li praised. "The Luohuai Gang is not to be underestimated. Sigh... we really can't underestimate the heroes of the world!"

"They managed to establish themselves in Baiyun City as an outsider gang, which is quite impressive," Chen Siyu nodded lightly.

As the leader of the gang, she knew how difficult it was for an outsider gang to establish itself locally. Yunzhou City often had outsider gangs, but the Jingyun Gang would directly suppress and expel them, leaving none a chance to stand firm.

"Such a pity," Chen Siyu looked at Chen Xuefeng's name.

Chu Li said, "He is indeed a talent?"

"Very smart, very quick-witted, smooth in handling affairs, and very capable," Chen Siyu sighed. "I had high hopes for him and planned to promote him to the position of hall master. Who would have thought... it's quite frightening to think about it."

Chen Xuefeng had hidden so well. If she had really promoted him to hall master and he betrayed, the Jingyun Gang would suffer a significant loss. If outsiders took advantage of the situation, the gang might face the threat of annihilation.

Chu Li pondered and said, "If he is truly a talent, then we should turn him around!"

"Turn him around?" Chen Siyu frowned. "Can we trust him?"

Chu Li smiled and said, "Everyone has a weakness. Grab his weakness, and he will be loyal to us!"

"What is his weakness?" Chen Siyu asked. "I suspect the Luohuai Gang has already grabbed his weakness. Otherwise, he wouldn't be so loyal. Chen Xuefeng has been in the gang for eight years, making him a veteran."

Chu Li thought for a moment and said slowly, "He has a sister, and they grew up together. She married a hall master of the Luohuai Gang. To make Chen Xuefeng loyal, we need to start with his brother-in-law."

"A hall master..." Chen Siyu shook her head. "We can't buy him off."

Such a high-ranking person is very difficult to buy off. Without sufficient leverage, he wouldn't come over, and his position would be unstable. Above the hall master, she couldn't offer him anything.

Chu Li said, "Don't rush. The Luohuai Gang doesn't seem to have any immediate plans. For now, act as if you don't know. Use him as you normally would. I'll come back and check on him next time. We'll find his weakness."

"Alright," Chen Siyu huffed. "If we can turn Chen Xuefeng around, we'll deal with the Luohuai Gang properly in the future!"

Her gaze wasn't limited to Yunzhou City but also included Baiyun City and Dengyun City. For the Jingyun Gang to grow, it couldn't be confined to Yunzhou City; it needed to expand its territory.

Chen Siyu lowered her head and continued to look at the list. "Is Shen Hao the informant this time?"

"Yes, an informant for the Qitian Gang," Chu Li sighed. "This time, the Qitian Gang has gone all out, recruiting a top expert to eliminate you."

"Who is he?"

"Luofeng, the master of the Chiyang Palm."

"Chiyang Palm?" Chen Siyu drew a sharp breath. "No wonder!"

Chu Li was also surprised. He didn't expect the Qitian Gang to recruit the Chiyang Palm. They really couldn't be underestimated.

Since returning to the mansion from here last time, he had been gathering intelligence on the martial arts world and knew a lot about it. The Chiyang Palm was a famous innate expert. People didn't know his appearance, but they knew the Chiyang Palm was incredibly powerful, and many renowned experts had fallen to it.

Chu Li was curious. Yunzhou City was just a medium-sized city, located on the Chongming Road, which was in the far east of Daji, a remote area. The Chiyang Palm usually operated in the Central Plains and rarely came to this area.

Chen Siyu looked up at Chu Li.

Chu Li smiled and said, "Don't worry, I'll take care of him!"

"They say he is very cunning," Chen Siyu frowned. "Like a fleeting glimpse, hard to catch."

The Chiyang Palm had killed many people, making enemies everywhere. He had survived to this day by being cautious and cunning, and almost no one could find him.

She clapped her hands. "Can we lure him out again?"

"He is cunning and suspicious, making it hard for him to act again," Chu Li said. "Let's activate the Qitian Gang's informant."

Chen Siyu smiled. "How do you know the Qitian Gang has an informant?"

"You have me, and I have you. Isn't this the specialty of martial arts gangs?" Chu Li smiled. "I believe there must be one. Otherwise, it wouldn't be the top gang in Yunzhou City!"

Chen Siyu smiled lightly. "You're right... Yue'er!"

Yue'er responded and entered. "Miss?"

"Go find someone from the Qitian Gang to help locate the Chiyang Palm," Chen Siyu said.

Yue'er hesitated. "How many people should I involve?"

"Two should be enough," Chen Siyu said. "Tell them to be careful!"

"Yes, Miss," Yue'er responded and quietly left.

Luofeng was a middle-aged man with a haggard appearance, looking sick and tired, but still retaining the charm of his youth.

He sat in a wine shop in Yunzhou City, on the second floor, which was empty except for a beautiful maid standing behind him, occasionally pouring him wine. No one else was around.

He held a silver cup, gently swaying the fine wine inside, its aroma enticing. Sitting by the window, he looked down at the bustling streets of Yunzhou City, feeling a sense of superiority as if the world was drunk while he was sober.

When he acted, he often wore a black mask. In his daily life, he removed the mask, and no one would guess that this sickly man was a top martial arts expert, operating in secret.

After watching for a while, he sighed. "Pour more wine!"

"Sir, you should drink less," the beautiful maid whispered. "Your health is not good, and three cups are enough. Drinking more will harm your health."

"You're such a spoilsport!" Luofeng glared at her.

The beautiful maid's eyes twinkled, looking seductive. "Really, you can't drink any more. Take care of your health!"

Luofeng shook his head helplessly. "Alright, alright, I'll listen to you!"

The beautiful maid smiled and took his cup.

"After this meal, we'll leave," Luofeng took a deep breath and said seriously. "We shouldn't stay here too long!"

"What's there to worry about in this place, Sir?" the beautiful maid laughed lightly. "There are no top experts here."

"Don't be careless," Luofeng shook his head. "They are not to be underestimated. To be the top gang in the city, they must have some skills. It's better to be cautious."

"Yes, Sir," the beautiful maid giggled. "I admire your caution, Sir!"

"Always saying what I want to hear!" Luofeng glared at her. "The most laughable are those who think they are invincible. There are countless experts in the world, and none can claim to be invincible!"

"Sir, where are we going?" the beautiful maid asked with a smile.

In the late afternoon, they were the only ones in the wine shop, so there was no fear of outsiders overhearing.

"Let's go to Baiyun City first," Luofeng huffed. "I have an enemy there!"

"Should we leave now?" the beautiful maid asked.

"Let's leave after we're full and satisfied," Luofeng patted the beautiful maid's waist and huffed. "That guy has been weak these past few years, making him easy to deal with!"

The beautiful maid gave him a seductive glance and swayed her slender waist.

A green shadow flashed, and Chu Li suddenly appeared behind Luofeng.

Luofeng's hair stood on end. He grabbed the beautiful maid and, holding her, crashed through the window and shot out.
