Mr. Li seems very proper and polite, but he gives me the feeling of a smiling tiger, and things can't be resolved so easily.

Immediately, he waved his hand and told the people around him to go and fetch Master Huo.

After the people around me left, Boss Li immediately returned my Special Investigation Team ID to me, came up to me for some polite small talk, and asked if it was convenient for me to say why I came to see Huo Qingfeng.

"Mr. Li, is this Huo Qingfeng a distinguished guest of your family, the one who helps your Li family with feng shui and decision-making?" I looked at him.

“That’s right. Master Huo has been with our Li family for over ten years. We’ve been supporting him all along. He’s also helped our Li family with a lot of things. What exactly did he do that requires your special investigation team to come and resolve it, especially since you’ve come all the way from Yanbei…” Mr. Li asked cautiously.

"This Huo Qingfeng has committed a serious offense, and your Li family might be implicated as well. I hope Boss Li won't protect him, or the consequences will be severe." The slovenly Taoist priest stood by, acting like a bully, but I had a feeling he was just trying to extort some money.

Mr. Li was very polite and said that he would never cover up any wrongdoing done by Huo Qingfeng.

Just as we were talking, Li Baoban's two men came running over quickly. One of them said, "Boss, Master Huo is not in the room. We couldn't find him."

Mr. Li looked utterly surprised: "Why isn't he here? Where did he go?"

The two subordinates shook their heads, indicating they didn't know.

We don't know if Mr. Li is faking it or deliberately protecting Huo Qingfeng.

Actually, this outcome was within my expectations. From the moment the magic array was activated until we finished dealing with the Li family's guards, Huo Qingfeng never appeared. This indicates that he was very vigilant and probably had already fled while we were fighting those people.

The disheveled Taoist priest's eyes darted around, and he immediately said to Boss Li, "Boss Li, can we go and take a look at where Huo Qingfeng is staying?"

“No problem, please feel free to look around.” Mr. Li immediately agreed.

I think the slovenly Taoist priest probably wanted to search Huo Qingfeng's house to see if he could find Huo Qingfeng's personal clothing or hair, so that he could use the Thousand-Mile Tracking Technique to find him.

At that moment, the group of us walked together toward the house where Huo Qingfeng lived.

It seems that Huo Qingfeng holds a high position in the Li family, and even has his own small courtyard, which is kept very tidy.

Kassan walked in front, scouting the way for us. He was the first to push open the door, and then the slovenly Taoist priest and the little demoness slipped inside.

As soon as we entered the house, the slovenly Taoist priest went straight to the bedroom, and I followed him in.

I found that the bedroom was also very clean and tidy, with the blankets folded neatly.

The slovenly Taoist priest opened the wardrobe, rummaged through it for a while, and found that there wasn't a single piece of clothing underneath; he couldn't even find underwear or socks.

Afterwards, the slovenly Taoist priest went to the toilet and washroom, searching everywhere for hair, but was greatly disappointed again.

Huo Qingfeng probably already guessed that we used the Thousand-Mile Tracking Technique to find people, so he took all his personal clothing with him beforehand. He left in no hurry and was very composed.

After searching around, the disheveled Taoist priest came over and muttered, "That old bastard took all my personal clothing."

"It seems he made preparations in advance. Once he leaves, he'll be gone to the ends of the earth, and it will be difficult to find him again," Kassan added.

The slovenly Taoist priest, still unwilling to give up, walked to Huo Qingfeng's bedside, tore off a piece of his pillowcase, and took a set of clothes that Huo Qingfeng wore in the summer.

"Whether it will work or not, I'll go back and try it."

In any case, our mission at the Li family has been accomplished: we rescued Ma Yuanwang. With that threat gone, things will be much easier.

So we told Mr. Li that we were leaving.

Mr. Li even personally escorted us to the door of his villa.

Just as we were about to turn and leave, Mr. Li suddenly called us back, waved his hand, and had his men bring out several gift bags, which he handed to us: "Section Chief Wu, this is our first meeting. Let's make friends. These are some small gifts I've prepared. Please accept them."

We each received one of those gift bags. The bags were small and came in pretty bags, but we had no idea what was inside.

"Mr. Li, this isn't right. I'm from the Special Investigation Team, I can't accept your things." Although I refused verbally, I really wanted them.

It was a gift from a Hong Kong tycoon, so it must be a valuable item.

At this moment, the disheveled Taoist priest stepped forward and said with a smile, "Old Wu, if you don't want it, I'll keep it for you. I'm not a member of the Special Investigation Team."

Without any hesitation, the slovenly Taoist priest took the items directly from Boss Li's hands.

"Yes, yes, Section Chief Wu, you're too kind. It's just a simple gift, nothing expensive," Mr. Li said with a smile.

It has to be said that this Mr. Li is truly a cunning old fox. He handles things meticulously, always leaving room for maneuver.

After the slovenly Taoist priest accepted the gifts from Mr. Li, we exchanged a few pleasantries and then left Mr. Li's residence.

After we had walked quite a distance, the slovenly Taoist priest distributed all the things that Boss Li had given us to us, including Ma Yuanwang and the little demoness.

Ma Yuanwang was incredibly excited: "Good heavens, I actually met a tycoon from Hong Kong Island, and it was all thanks to Young Master Wu. If it weren't for Young Master Wu, I probably would never have met such a person in my entire life."

As they were talking, Ma Yuanwang opened the gift box that Boss Li had given him, and his eyes lit up immediately: "I'm rich, I'm rich... Boss Li is really generous."

I leaned closer and took a look, and discovered that there was actually a watch inside the gift box.

"It's just a watch, why are you so excited?" I shook my head with a smile.

“Young Master Wu, this is a Rolex Rainbow Daytona, worth over four million! You don’t even like it?” Ma Yuanwang’s eyes widened.

Wow, they're really rich.

I quickly opened the gift box and found that it was also a watch, exactly the same as Ma Yuanwang's.

The only difference is that the little demon girl's is a Patek Philippe, which is definitely worth a lot of money.

There were five of us, and the few things that Boss Li casually gave us were worth more than 20 million.

Honestly, he's much more generous than Boss Zhou. Master Zhou and I helped him fix the feng shui of his ancestral graves, and he only gave me five million.

However, none of us need this watch; it's just a burden to wear. We'll have to have Sister Hua sell it when we get back to Yanbei.

After leaving the Li family's house, we headed straight for Boss Zhou's house to discuss our next move.
