Because the Li family had two martial arts level nine practitioners, Li Qingchi and Li Cenyuan, Gu Tu did not choose to break into the Li family directly to capture Ren Hui, but went to Ren Hui's private manor and prepared to wait for him there.

In the evening, when Ren Hui returned from the Li family and stepped into the manor, he quickly noticed something strange.

He noticed that there were no servants along the way.

Out of a keen sense of danger, Ren Hui stopped.

He looked towards a corner with sharp eyes and shouted in a deep voice: "Come out, no need to hide."

As soon as he finished speaking, a dark shadow slowly walked out from the darkness.

Ren Hui narrowed his eyes slightly. When he saw the face of the person coming, he couldn't help but look surprised: "Gu Tu?"

Then he reacted and shouted, “You are so bold. You killed Madam Shen and didn’t run away quickly. You even dared to come to me.”

Gu Tu's eyes were full of murderous intent, and without saying a word, he attacked him directly.

Ren Hui's reaction was also extremely quick, and he immediately took up defense.

However, even so, he was still no match for Gu Tu's fierce and deadly moves. He fell to the ground with one move, spitting blood.

He looked at Gu Tu in disbelief, "Are you here to kill me?"

He clearly felt Gu Tu's extremely strong murderous intent towards him.

Gu Tu grabbed Ren Hui's throat and lifted him off the ground, his eyes filled with cold murderous intent, "You should have died long ago."

Anyone who has hurt Nan Yi must die.

Gu Tu's fingers slowly tightened, and Ren Hui's breathing became more and more difficult.

His face gradually turned blue and purple, his eyes bulged out, and his hands struggled desperately, but to no avail. Gu Tu was like a mountain and could not shake him at all.

"Why, why...I have no grudge against you." Ren Hui uttered these words with difficulty.

He really couldn't understand why Gu Tu suddenly wanted to kill him.

Gu Tu snorted coldly, the hatred in his eyes became stronger and stronger, like a raging fire: "No grudges? If it weren't for you, how could Lan Yi be injured and cause her level to regress? She should have been able to block my palm!"

Ren Hui's eyes widened. He finally understood where Gu Tu's killing intention towards him came from. "You have met Shen Lanyi. You did it for her..."

"You, and Li Qingchi, you all deserve to die. I won't let him go."

Gu Tu suddenly increased the strength in his hands. With a crisp "crack" sound, Ren Hui's neck was crushed by him and his body fell limply.

Gu Tu's hand slowly loosened, and the corpse fell heavily to the ground, raising a cloud of dust.

Just like that, Ren Hui died in his own manor.

Gu Tu looked at the corpse on the ground and whispered to himself, "There is another one, Lan Yi. I will come to accompany you after I kill Li Qingchi."

Then he turned and left, his figure gradually disappearing into the darkness, leaving only dead silence.

……

When Gu Tu came back covered in dust, Hua Chaochao was leisurely sipping wine, while Fu Lan was sitting on the ground beside her, staring at her with a faint gaze.

Hua Chaochao not only occupied Fu Lan's chair, but also drank the wine he had secretly stored.

"Dead?" Hua Chaochao asked Gu Tu nonchalantly, looking at the wine glass shaking gently in her hand.

Gu Tu responded in a not very happy tone: "Dead."

Hua Chaochao took a sip of wine, the corner of his mouth turned up, "Well done."

Fu Lan frowned, his face serious, and said disapprovingly: "Ren Hui is Li Qingchi's right-hand man. Once he dies, Li Qingchi, the old fox, will never give up. I am afraid that the people I planted in the Li family will be at risk of being exposed."

Fu Lan's plan to overthrow the four major families is not just talk. He has people arranged by him in each of the four families to collect information about each family for him.

Fu Lan didn't want the plan he had painstakingly built over the years to be destroyed because of Ren Hui's death.

"It is indeed possible." Hua Chaochao put down the wine glass and met Fu Lan's gaze. "So, we have to find a scapegoat and pin the blame for Ren Hui's death on that person."
