「Half a month later.」
Xu Fugui paid a late-night visit, knocking on the door to Lin Changheng's courtyard.
He brought news.
Previously, Lin Changheng had asked him to secretly investigate how his reputation had spread so far, even reaching the ears of the Liu Family.
He had never shown his skills outside the clan and kept a low profile within it. The Xu Family had no reason to publicize him either.
But the rumors had spread regardless. After hearing about it, Xu Fugui believed the problem must be internal.
Someone in the clan was likely doing it intentionally.
The goal was to "praise him to death"—to praise him, and then to have him killed.
They would build him up so high that the Xu Family's potential enemies would take notice, and then eliminate him as a primary target.
But Lin Changheng had always been amiable and extremely low-key, rarely getting into disputes with anyone.
No, wait, there was one person: Lü Bailian.
