In the afternoon, Cao's Manor.

When Lu Chen rushed to the scene after hearing the news, he found that the entire Cao family had been surrounded by an armed army.

Hundreds of Cao family elites stood guard at the door, confronting each other with the armed troops, refusing to give way to anyone.

"Everyone in the Cao family must listen to me and hand over the murderer immediately. Otherwise, they will all be punished with the same crime!"

One of the leading officers shouted loudly.

The sound is like a loud bell that lasts for a long time.

Afterwards, the soldiers were holding guns and looking cold.

As long as the commander gives the order, they will choose to shoot without hesitation.

"Um?"

Seeing the tense atmosphere between the two sides, Lu Chen couldn't help but frown slightly.

Why did the Cao family get into trouble with the military after everything was so good?

"Sir, why are you so violent?"

Lu Chen stepped forward and asked.

"I have been ordered to arrest the murderer. Anyone who is not involved should leave as soon as possible!" the officer shouted.

"Mr. Lu, are you here? Come inside, please!"

The steward of the Cao family recognized Lu Chen at a glance and quickly ordered people to move out of the way.

After Lu Chen entered the door, he immediately sealed the entrance and exit.

"People inside, listen up. I'll give you one more time to burn incense. If you don't hand over the murderer, don't blame us for forcing your way in!"

The officer issued a final warning.

The elites of the Cao family still regard death as death and will not give in at all.

"Mr. Lu, the eldest lady is in the meeting hall. Please come with me."

The steward of the Cao family did not pay attention to the officer's call, but took the initiative to lead the way.

Lu Chen followed closely behind, full of doubts.

At this moment, the Cao family's meeting hall was already full of people.

The key members of the family gathered here one after another, whispering to each other.

Cao Jun's face was full of sorrow and he sighed secretly.

Cao Biao was pacing back and forth in the hall, looking particularly anxious.

As for Concubine Cao Xuan and others, they stayed beside the unconscious Cao Guan.

"Concubine Xuan, what happened?"

Lu Chen walked into the meeting hall with a serious face.

"Lu Chen, you came just in time, help my dad take a look!"

Concubine Cao Xuan's expression perked up and she quickly pulled her to her father's side.

At this moment, Cao Guan looked pale, sweating profusely, and had some blood stains on his body.

Lu Chen didn't say much. He quickly checked it carefully and said after a while: "Your dad has just recovered from a serious illness. He is weak and drinks too much, so he is unconscious. It's nothing serious."

"It's okay, it's okay. It's okay." Chen Shuang next to her secretly breathed a sigh of relief.

"Can you wake people up?" Concubine Cao Xuan asked.

"Yes, but I don't recommend doing this. It's best to let your dad get more rest." Lu Chen said.

"There is no time, we must wake up people, otherwise, the Cao family will be in disaster!" Concubine Cao Xuan looked serious.

"so serious?"

Lu Chen's eyelids twitched, and he did not dare to hesitate immediately. He immediately took out three silver needles and pierced Cao Guan's Yintang, Shenting, and Renzhong acupoints.

Not long after the silver needle fell, Cao Guan slowly opened his eyes.

"Dad! Do you still remember what happened last night?" Concubine Cao Xuan asked quickly.

"last night?"
