I nodded.
"Lord Ye, I don't understand what you mean."
Lu Yitau frowned.
"Boss Lu, let's not beat around the bush."
I smiled faintly.
"I am here on behalf of a certain lord from Nanjiang to rescue Tang Jicheng."
"What?"
Lu Yitau's expression changed.
"Lord Ye, you can't be joking, right?"
"Boss Lu, do I look like I'm joking?"
I gave a cold smile.
"Lord Ye, you are too bold!"
Lu Yitau slammed the table and stood up.
"Do you know where this is? This is Golden Lake, not Nanjiang!"
"I certainly know!"
I nodded.
"Since you know, how dare you come here?"
Lu Yitau looked at me with anger.
"Boss Lu, please don't get worked up!"
I waved my hand.
"I'm not here to cause trouble; I'm here to solve a problem!"
"Solve a problem?"
Lu Yitau was taken aback.
"Yes."
I nodded.
"The Military Affairs Office has been keeping an eye on this matter, hoping to resolve it soon."
"Oh?"
Lu Yitau's eyes shifted.
"Lord Ye, are you saying that the Military Affairs Office is ready to compromise?"
"I'm not sure about that."
I shook my head.
"I'm just following orders; how the Military Affairs Office decides is beyond my control."
"I see..."
Lu Yitau pondered for a moment.
"Lord Ye, this matter can be discussed, but..."
"But what?" I pressed.
"But this isn't something I can handle; I can't hand anyone over."
Lu Yitau sighed.
"What?" My expression changed.
"Boss Lu, are you messing with me?"
"I wouldn't dare!"
Lu Yitau waved his hand.
"Lord Ye, you've misunderstood; I truly haven't captured Tang Jicheng."
"Then where has Tang Jicheng gone?" I asked coldly.
"This..."
Lu Yitau hesitated for a moment.
"Lord Ye, to be honest, this matter was done by the Flower Association."
"Flower Association?"
I was slightly taken aback.
"Yes, the leader of the Flower Association, known as Azure Water Snake, specializes in kidnapping."
Lu Yitau explained.
"I see!"
I nodded.
"Lord Ye, although I didn't do this, since you are here, I can't just ignore it."
Lu Yitau thought for a moment and said.
"Oh?"
I raised an eyebrow.
"Boss Lu is willing to help?"
"Yes."
Lu Yitau nodded.
"Lord Ye, give me a few days. I'll contact the people from the Flower Association and try to resolve this matter."
"A few days?"
I frowned.
"Seven days should be enough."
Lu Yitau considered for a moment and said.
"After seven days, I guarantee that Tang Jicheng will return safe and sound. How does that sound?"
"Seven days?"
I furrowed my brows tighter.
"Yes, seven days."
Lu Yitau nodded.
"Lord Ye, this matter is not trivial, and the Flower Association is not to be trifled with. I need to handle this carefully."
"This..."
I hesitated a bit.
My task was to rescue Tang Jicheng, but I hadn't thought about how to do it or what to do afterward.
Now that Lu Yitau mentioned it, I really wasn't sure anymore.
"Lord Ye, I know you're anxious, but this matter cannot be rushed."
Lu Yitau sighed.
"The people from the Flower Association are not easy to deal with. If they feel cornered, they can do anything!"
"Alright."
I sighed.
"Seven days is fine, but after those seven days, if Tang Jicheng loses even a hair, I won't let you off!"
"Don't worry, that won't happen!"
Lu Yitau quickly replied.
"Good, then I'll wait for your news!"
I stood up.
"Lord Ye, let me see you off!"
Lu Yitau also stood up.
"No need, you all carry on with your work!"
I waved my hand.
"Then... Zhu Ersan, please see Lord Ye off!"
"Lu Yitau!" he shouted.
"Yes, Boss Lu!"
Zhu Ersan came over and took me away from the hall.
When we reached the courtyard, I paused and approached the person with the surname Gu.
"Brother Gu, I need to talk to you about something," I said softly.
"Oh?"
He was taken aback for a moment.
"Brother Gu, can we talk privately?"
I smiled.
"Sure!"
He followed me to a secluded spot.
"Lord Ye, just call me Gu Lingfeng. What do you need?"
Lu Yitau asked quietly.
"Brother Gu, I would like to ask you for a favor..."
I leaned closer to Lu Yitau's ear and whispered a few words.
"This..."
Upon hearing my request, Gu Lingfeng's expression changed dramatically.
"Brother Gu, I'm counting on you for this!"
I patted Gu Lingfeng's shoulder and turned to leave.
