As soon as he walked into his alley, Chen Mu, who was staggering, was stunned.
The originally dark street now had a dim yellow light.
There were two big lanterns hanging on both sides of the door of the house opposite his house.
A carriage was parked in the middle of the road, loaded with wooden boxes of all sizes.
There were small lanterns hanging on the four corners of the car, illuminating the dark alley.
Four or five burly men dressed as servants were carrying wooden boxes down from the car.
Chen Mu's heart skipped a beat and he immediately wanted to turn around and run.
But the man who looked like the owner standing at the door had turned around and looked over.
The sturdy man who was originally moving the wooden boxes suddenly stopped and turned around, silently put down the wooden boxes, and reached his hand into the gap between the wooden boxes in the carriage.
The muscles of his forearm bulged, as if he was holding something. In the shadow of the light, a flash of black light flashed across his arm.
Then they stared at Chen Mu with expressionless faces.
The alley fell silent for a moment.
Chen Mu's face twitched suddenly.
Wandering soul?!
Is it still too late to run now?
"Excuse me, little brother, where are you from and where are you going?" Chao Fang narrowed his eyes and looked at Chen Mu with a smile.
Don’t panic, and don’t run!
Feeling the Five Ghosts Bag tied to his chest, Chen Mu suppressed his fear.
Fool it first.
Don't be too enthusiastic, as this may arouse suspicion.
You can't be too cold, as that can easily arouse suspicion.
Well, pretend to be a lonely, unsocial otaku?
After making up his mind, he pointed to the opposite gate calmly and said impatiently: "Come from Chunfeng Tower, go home and sleep."
Chao Fang raised his eyebrows, glanced at the round-faced man next to him, and then said with a smile: "Then we will be neighbors."
Chen Mu frowned slightly, and said unwelcomely, "I like quietness. Let me tell you in advance that you should not make any noise."
Chao Fang smiled: "What a coincidence, I also like quietness."
Chen Mu nodded noncommittally, walked to the door slowly, took out the key and unlocked it.
"Renting this house is not cheap, right?" Chen Mu glanced at the other party and asked casually.
"Of course not. The landlord is a cruel person and asked me for a lot of money." Chao Fang agreed.
Chen Mu paused as he pushed the door open, and glanced at the other person...
You didn't give me a penny.

Chapter 120 Chapter Turmoil
boom!
As Chen Mu closed the door.
Chao Fang immediately winked at the round-faced man next to him.
The other party immediately put down the lantern in his hand and rushed into the house next to Chen Mu.
He quietly hid in the shadow of the moonlight and stared at Chen Mu.
……
In the yard, Chen Mu's scalp was itchy in frustration but he didn't dare to scratch it.
He glanced at the shadow of the roof next door from the corner of his eye.
"I was careless! I forgot to use the little paper man to explore the way."
"It's easy for people to lose their vigilance if they stay in one place for too long."
Like an ordinary person, Chen Mu groped his way into the house, lit the lamp, hummed a little tune, fetched water to wash, and poured himself a cup of iced tea to cool off.
"They occupied my yard and sent people to monitor me..."
Outrageous!
Deceiving too much!
The more Chen Mu thought about it, the angrier he became. He took a deep breath, blew out the light, and went to sleep.
There are four or five wandering souls, I can't afford to offend them.
……
"Brother, that man is asleep." A round-faced man in the opposite house said nervously.
"Zongtai, please be more careful next time." Chao Fang sighed.
The round-faced man froze.
Chao Fang waved his hand: "Forget it. Looking at that person, he is probably a solitary person who rarely goes out."
"I was in such a hurry that you didn't find any trace of him. That's understandable."
Zongtai was worried: "Brother, something important is about to happen, do you want to..."
Chao Fang narrowed his eyes and thought for a while: "Don't move yet."
"But he lives across the street. If he finds out that we are acting strangely, I'm afraid..."
Chao Fang glanced at Zongtai: "Do you know his name? Do you know who is good friends with him? Do you know who he meets most often?"
Zongtai was speechless and dared not speak.
"Killing a person is the lowest level of means." Chao Fang sighed.
"We have to kill them all at once!"
Chao Fang said with deep meaning, "To eradicate the root of the problem is the best way."
Chen Mu, who was lying on the bed with his eyes open and eavesdropping with a paper doll, said: "..."
"What a ruthless person." Chen Mu sighed.
Moving house secretly in the middle of the night and immediately starting to watch the neighbors when they came across him was obviously not a good idea.
And that big thing they were talking about didn't sound good.
How to do?
Or...wait until they fall asleep and then take them away?
A plan of action quickly formed in my mind.
After thinking about it, Chen Mu raised his hand and patted his face lightly.
"It's floating, it's floating."
"They dare to kill people to silence them!"
"There are four or five Youpo masters, and one whose strength is unknown, at least the head of Youpo. Who gave me the courage, the Mi Shen Yan or the Xiu Li Jian?" Chen Mu reflected in annoyance.
"Let's run." Chen Mu sighed.
Anyway, I have... I rent more than a dozen houses.
The next day, Chen Mu slept until he woke up naturally as usual.
I got up and made myself a pot of fried dumplings.
After dinner, I cleaned up the dishes, changed into clean clothes, and walked out the door without taking anything with me.
……
"Brother, I lost you." Zongtai said with a shameful look on his face.
Chao Fang frowned: "What's going on?"
"The other party seemed to be proficient in disguise. He walked into a busy area in Taipei City and disappeared before I could turn my head."
"Our whereabouts..."
Chao Fang carefully recalled what happened during last night's meeting.
"I met a master."
When he realized something was wrong, he ran away immediately without even realizing it.
"If I had known, I would have killed him last night!" Zongtai said hatefully.
Chao Fang glanced at the other party and sighed: "If I really go, I'm afraid it will be a trouble."
The other party's every move seemed normal. Either he was cautious and disguised at all times, or he had already discovered that he had sent someone to follow him.
No matter which one it was, if I had encountered it last night, I would have had to go through a lot of trouble to make a fuss.
"It seems we can't wait any longer. Notify Tu Shan to enter the city."
"Send someone to deliver the evidence of the Zhang family's collusion with us to Shangguan Tong."
"Guard the twelve soul-grabbing stakes."
"As soon as the signal that Shangguan Ji is seriously injured arrives, start the blood sacrifice immediately."
Zongfang's heart trembled: "Yes!"
……
Nanyang Prefecture, east of the city, Taohuafang.
Chen Mu quietly came to an alley.
