The lame man had rested for less than two and a half hours when he was called by the guards at the door to answer.

The lame man knew that Zhang Wei had dug a hole for him to fill. If he filled it well, everything would be fine, and he might even be able to replace Brother Qiang. If he didn't fill it well, he would have to pay with his own life.

When he came to the Baron's office again, the lame man found that the Baron, the tax officer and Zhang Wei were still in the room.

The tax officer's face flushed with excitement, as if something good was about to happen.

Zhang Wei, however, looked at his nose with his eyes, his mouth with his nose, and his heart with his mouth. He stood there like a sculpture.

"Cripple! Let me ask you something!" The tax collector suddenly spoke, scaring the lame man.

"How do you know when the Baron will return to the city and where he will stay?!" the tax collector asked the first question.

The cripple glanced at Zhang Wei, knowing that this must be the first trap that the bastard Zhang Wei had dug for him. His brain was working rapidly, and in line with the idea that it would be better for me to let my friend die than for my poor friend, he knelt on the ground, kowtowed and said, "Your Excellency the Baron, it was the Blood Moon Cult that told me this."

"What is the Blood Moon Cult?" The tax officer was confused. He thought the cripple was making up a lie, so he scolded him, "Cripple! Don't try to shirk your responsibility by making up a random, inexplicable cult."

The baron made a gesture, signaling the tax officer not to speak. The baron did this because he found that Zhang Wei, who was like a sculpture just now, actually turned his head and looked at the cripple. It seems that this religion should be real, and Zhang Wei also has a certain understanding of it.

"Tell me, what is the origin of the Blood Moon Cult?" the baron asked the cripple.

"Your Excellency," the lame man kowtowed again and continued, "I don't know much about it, but I know that Nan Ge's wife Sister Cheng and Zhang Wei both know about this religion, and they can prove that I am not lying."

The cripple not only betrayed the Blood Moon Cult, but also dragged Zhang Wei and Sister Cheng into the water.

"Zhang Wei!" The tax officer attacked Zhang Wei again. He blamed Zhang Wei for all the reasons for his decline in status. He and Zhang Wei were no longer the "good friends" who came to Jinhou Town hand in hand.

"You say." Zhang Wei was very respectful to the tax officer in front of the baron. He was not doing this to give face to the tax officer, but to save the baron's face. After all, the tax officer could still stand next to the baron, and he was still standing next to the door.

"Do you know about the Blood Moon Cult?" the tax collector shouted.

"I heard from the Greendale family that it seems to be a cult." Zhang Wei still answered respectfully.

When the baron heard about the Grindahl family, he sat up straight and asked quickly, "Is it from that Grindahl family?"

"Yes." Zhang Wei answered truthfully.

"Where did you see him?" asked the Baron.

"I met him in our territory. You have heard of that person, but I would like to report the details to you in private." Zhang Wei would definitely not reveal Veronica's identity on the spot, especially now that the person's whereabouts are unknown and no one knows whether he is alive or dead.

"Okay, okay, let's talk about it later. The Blood Moon Cult really exists, right?" The Baron brought the topic back to the Blood Moon Cult.

"If what the Greendale family and the cripple said is true, then it should really exist. The Greendale family also wanted to investigate with me because they have only heard a little about it and don't know much about the Blood Moon Cult." Zhang Wei said this to create a moat for the Greendale family. Now that the cripple has revealed that he is from the Blood Moon Cult, there is no reason for Zhang Wei to provoke a hidden enemy for the Greendale family for no reason.

The lame man glanced at Zhang Wei and said nothing. He did not expect that the Blood Moon Cult hidden in the darkness would attract the attention of the Greendoll family. He was thinking about how to make good use of this information.

When Zhang Wei saw the cripple looking at him, he knew that the cripple must want to talk about the Greendale family. He thought about it and it seemed that there was nothing he could say to warn the cripple not to mess around, so he didn't say anything.

"Cripple, what does the Blood Moon Cult want you to do?" After the Baron confirmed the existence of the Blood Moon Cult, he asked the Cripple again.

"Your Excellency, they want me to become a non-official believer and provide them with intelligence information. However, I have already given my loyalty to you, Your Excellency, so I told you this matter without reservation." After the lame man finished speaking, he kowtowed heavily to show his loyalty.

Zhang Wei was thinking, "Loyalty is a bullshit, why didn't you say so earlier?"

The tax collector scratched his neck. He thought the same thing as Zhang Wei, but he still didn't say it. Loyalty is up to the baron to decide, not for them, the subordinates.

The baron waved his hand, signaling the cripple to stand up and answer, which was considered as "recognition" of the cripple's loyalty.

The lame man breathed a sigh of relief, knowing that he had passed the test.

Zhang Wei didn't say anything. There were originally two pitfalls waiting for the Cripple, but who would have thought that the Cripple would directly sell out the Blood Moon Cult, which was equivalent to building a bridge. Not only did it pass through all the pits, it also forced Zhang Wei to sell out the Greendoll Family.

Zhang Wei felt that he had suffered a great loss this time. The Cripple had made a desperate counterattack. Not only did he fail to kill the Cripple with the help of the Baron, but he also let him take his place.

As Zhang Wei expected, the Baron directly asked the Lame Man to replace Sha Qiang's position, and asked the Lame Man to help the tax officer clean up the mess caused by the Baron.

The tax officer felt as disgusted as if he had been forced to swallow countless cockroaches, but he couldn't vomit.

Zhang Wei was also in a bad mood. His core plan was to force the dead cripple into a desperate situation and force him to reveal the whereabouts of Kelly and Veronica. Now that the dead cripple was in power, it was hard to say whether the two women could be found.

When the Baron saw that Zhang Wei had a strange look on his face, he remembered that Zhang Wei had not yet told him who from the Greendoll family was in the Baron's territory, so he asked the tax collector and the cripple to go out and deal with the aftermath, and kept Zhang Wei again.

"Go ahead." The Baron allowed Zhang Wei to tell the truth.

"The one from the Grindale family is called Veronica Grindale. Her hidden identity is Kelly's sister. She was also one of the people who was kidnapped and disappeared by the cripple..."

After listening to this, the baron stared at Zhang Wei with wide eyes.

Zhang Wei smiled bitterly and said, "That's nothing. She came here to investigate the Blood Moon Cult. The reason she mixed with Kelly and acted as a prostitute was because the cripple was a member of the Blood Moon Cult... That's why I didn't dare to tell him about this. If I didn't tell him, if Veronica was still alive, she would still have a chance to survive. If I told him, she would be dead no matter she's alive or not."

The baron could no longer sit still. He stood up and asked, "The Grindall family has always been vindictive. Do you think they won't do that to her?"

The Baron thought that even if Veronica was alive and had been abused by someone, the Grindall family would probably seek revenge.

"I don't even know whether she is alive or dead. If she doesn't report her whereabouts to the family regularly, we can just pretend that we don't know about it. We are just afraid that she will report regularly, then we will be passive." Zhang Wei smiled bitterly. He and Veronica didn't have any feelings for each other, but he felt that he owed Dana a little, even though the Dana in this world had nothing to do with him.

"What do you think?" The Baron wanted to know if Zhang Wei had any plans or methods to deal with it.

"I will go find the Cripple again, but I will not reveal Veronica's identity unless it is absolutely necessary, because I am afraid that the Blood Moon Cult has evil methods to control people, which will only make me more passive."

"Okay, I'll wait for your news." The Baron entrusted the matter to Zhang Wei.

Zhang Wei nodded solemnly, cursing himself in his heart for being so stupid and digging a big hole for himself. If Veronica was fine, it wouldn't be a credit to him. But if Veronica was injured in the slightest, he would be blamed.

"Harming others will harm yourself, harming others will harm yourself, harming others will harm yourself." When Zhang Wei left the Baron's office, he was still muttering to himself, reminding himself that he deserved it. He dug a hole for others, but in the end, they were fine, but he fell into a bigger hole!

"If I tell you, I am this." The lame man smiled and gave Zhang Wei a little finger gesture: "You almost tricked me to death, how dare you ask me where I am?"

The lame man was still jealous of Zhang Wei for setting a trap for him.

Zhang Wei nodded, turned around and left without saying a single harsh word.

Zhang Wei's action made the lame man feel a little guilty, but for three consecutive days, the lame man did not wait for Zhang Wei's revenge, which made him relax his vigilance a little.

"We will set off for the Barony tomorrow. The Baron asked me to tell you that if you have anything to do, do it as soon as possible. There will be many things to do after we return!" The tax officer said with a cold face, slammed the door and left.

The lame man looked indifferent. In the past three days, the tax collector had broken several doors in front of the baron without his knowledge.

The lame man thought about it. He had lost contact with the Blood Moon Cult for several days and had sold out Sister Cheng. He planned to use Greendale's information to exchange conditions with the people of the Blood Moon Cult. Even if he could not be the highest contact person in Bourne Town, he had to at least get Sister Cheng away from him. Otherwise, when he returned to Bourne Town, as long as Zhang Wei complained, he would be killed by Sister Cheng.

When Zhang Wei learned that the cripple had left the base, he smiled wickedly.

The lame man had not walked far when he felt someone was following him. However, he tried several times to fight back, but not only could he not get rid of the person following him, he couldn't even find out who was following him.

The feeling of being stared at made his hair stand on end, so the lame man had no choice but to find a deserted alley, become invisible, and prepare to face the person who was following him face to face.

Zhang Wei followed him all the way to a dead end. He now had a level advantage over the cripple, and he was also an assassin, so the cripple's invisibility was the same to him as no invisibility.

Zhang Wei directly flashed behind the lame man, and while the lame man didn't react, he took out the sack he had prepared long ago and put it on him. Then he started to punch and kick him like a storm. Zhang Wei hummed a song while beating him, and his beating was quite rhythmic and his humming was very comfortable.
