Chapter 2323: Are You Trying to Come Back from the Dead?

When Meng Yunzheng arrived at the staff’s home, he indeed found a set of night clothes.

Setting the night clothes aside, he waited at home. Until midnight, a faint sound came from the yard.

Upon venturing out, Meng Yunzheng saw a stone on the ground, tied with a note.

He glanced at the courtyard wall; the stone must have been thrown inside just now.

On the note, there was indeed an address. Meng Yunzheng went back inside to change into the night clothes, checked the map to confirm the direction, and quietly left the yard.

On the road, there were officers patrolling, and Meng Yunzheng carefully avoided their routes. Not long after, he arrived at a deserted estate in the west of the city.

This estate was eerie and frightening, and upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a Yizhuang, a place temporarily storing coffins.

Places like this, not to mention patrolling officers, even ordinary people wouldn’t want to come.

Meng Yunzheng climbed over the outer wall, crossed the yard, and entered the living room.

The living room was pitch-black. In this large space, there were more than thirty coffins, most of them empty with lids on the ground, but a few were covered.

As Meng Yunzheng stepped in, the paper money on the floor rustled.

Moonlight poured in from outside; facing so many coffins, a timid person might have turned pale with fright long ago.

But Meng Yunzheng was completely calm. After walking a few steps, he stopped, crossing his arms and waiting for Qi Lie to emerge from somewhere.

Just as he looked towards another door, a faint noise came from one of the coffins, followed by a person suddenly sitting up inside.

Meng Yunzheng, "..."

Are you trying to fake a death scenario?

The person climbed out from inside the coffin, exhaled deeply, and spoke, "Scared you, huh?"

Meng Yunzheng chuckled twice, "Your entrance is indeed unique."

To lie in a coffin, it’s something only you could think of.

If he weren’t bold, he’d have died of fright before making contact.

Qi Lie laughed twice and patted the dust off himself, "Even you didn’t expect this, right? If you didn’t, those people certainly wouldn’t either."

He led Meng Yunzheng into a small room next door and casually sat on the floor, "Come on, tell me what’s going on. Wasn’t this supposed to be done secretly? Why the overt entrance in the southwest?"

Meng Yunzheng hesitated before finding a stool to sit on.

Their time was short, they skipped pleasantries, and Meng Yunzheng explained the reason for his visit.

Qi Lie listened and frowned, "So Shu Feng from the Shu family is about to repeat the Shu family’s mistakes?"

"Not just him, there’s a group assembling in Righteous Dao Village. I have a list here; if you have people, have them investigate. There’s also a very suspicious person, a twelve-year-old boy, whom Shu Feng’s group takes particular care of, investigate him closely."

Qi Lie looked serious and nodded, "I understand."

"One more thing." Meng Yunzheng mentioned the letter, "Now Yu and I suspect that someone among those girls is from the black market. That letter was intentionally sent to us; your arrival in the southwest was likely anticipated by them."

Qi Lie touched his chin, "No wonder... I thought when I arrived, it seemed like someone was watching me. Fortunately, I was alert, changing locations and identities; otherwise, I’d be done before investigating the black market."

"Where is the black market located?"
