Chapter 1227: Chapter 1221: It’s him

After settling the bill and leaving the hospital, Zhao Pu brought a group of people to his own residence.

This was a villa, Zhao Pu and Ya’er’s love nest, with three floors and several hundred square meters in size. It seemed Zhao Pu really held nothing back for Ya’er, no wonder she was so devoted to him.

Although Cheng Lanyan, Zhao Sinuo, and the others looked somewhat uneasy, they had after all acknowledged Zhao Pu and Ya’er’s relationship, so they didn’t seize this opportunity to make trouble.

Everyone took their seats in the living room, while Ya’er busied herself in the kitchen.

Today, everyone had been quite worried, especially Li Changlin and Zhou Xingxing, who hadn’t even eaten dinner. Then there were Cheng Lanyan and others, who had rushed over from Ningde City in a hurry; they probably hadn’t had anything to eat either.

Feeling somewhat apologetic, Cheng Lanyan stood up to help in the kitchen. Since the two women might have some private words to exchange, nobody else followed to join in the bustle.

Thus, Li Changlin spoke up and asked, "Puge, what exactly happened to your injuries, do you know who was behind the attack?"

"I don’t know either." Zhao Pu shook his head in frustration.

Zhou Xingxing said weirdly, "In that case, Puge, you’ve been in contact with those people today, we should thoroughly investigate it!"

"Today I met with a few old friends and discussed some matters. However, everyone is well-acquainted with each other, and none of them practice ancient martial arts, so it shouldn’t be possible for them to harm me." Zhao Pu furrowed his brow; while he was not an ancient martial arts expert, he was a retired special forces soldier, and his actual strength certainly compared to the Initial Stage of Dark Energy. Ordinary ancient martial arts experts who attempted to ambush him would not only struggle to succeed but would be lucky to not be killed by Zhao Pu in return.

"This is strange." Li Changlin pinched his chin and pondered deeply, before lifting his eyes and saying, "Puge, then think carefully, aside from today, have you come into contact with any odd people in recent days?"

The reason for asking was that, according to what Zhao Pu had said, his injury did not seem to have been sustained today.

As such, Li Changlin suspected that someone might have inflicted a hidden injury on Zhao Pu as a means to avoid responsibility.

As long as one practices ancient martial arts reaching the Transcendent Realm, it is easy to achieve this.

For example, Zhou Xingxing, he could use a handshake to shatter the internal organs of the target through the power of the Transcendent Realm.

As time passed, if the target engaged in some intense activities, such as exercise in bed, there was a good chance that it would exacerbate the injury, causing the internal organs to break apart.

Taking into account Zhao Pu’s condition, this could very well be the reason for his current state.

So, Li Changlin asked about Zhao Pu’s recent social interactions.

After hearing Li Changlin’s words, everyone fell into silence, while Zhao Pu narrowed his eyes and sank into deep thought.

"If I really have to suspect someone, it might only be him." Suddenly, Zhao Pu’s eyes snapped open, and he stood up and walked to the side of the living room to pick up a laptop bag.

Returning to his original position, Zhao Pu opened the laptop bag, took out a laptop, and powered it on.

Quickly, the computer booted to the desktop, Zhao Pu opened a document, and then pulled up a group photo, sliding it in front of Li Changlin.

This was a photo of two people, one naturally being Zhao Pu, and the other, Li Changlin was also very familiar with.

"Xiang Anyi!" Recognizing the person, Li Changlin’s eyes sharpened instantly as he coldly uttered the name.

"Changlin, you know him too?" Zhao Pu was slightly startled, then nodded, "If my guess is not wrong, he must be the one behind this."

With that, Zhao Pu explained what happened that day.

It turns out that just the day before yesterday, Xiang Anyi sought out Zhao Pu, claiming he wanted to discuss a business deal and made clear his identity.

Knowing the visitor was the direct heir of the Xiang Family from Shanghai City, Zhao Pu naturally did not dare to neglect him, thus arranging the meeting with high regard.

At that time, when Xiang Anyi shook hands with him, Zhao Pu felt a surge of heat flow into his body, but at that moment, he didn’t think much about it and never suspected that Xiang Anyi, a direct descendant of the Ancient Martial Family, would launch a sneak attack on him, a commoner.

Afterward, Xiang Anyi didn’t discuss any business matters, but instead inquired whether Zhao Pu had recently been to the Island Nation, because Xiang Anyi had a photo of Zhao Pu that indicated another identity.

At the time, Zhao Pu felt extremely suspicious, but Xiang Anyi explained he belonged to a national authority and, due to safety concerns ignited by Zhao Pu’s use of forged identity information, he made a special visit for further understanding.

Zhao Pu did not suspect and candidly revealed that indeed, he had gone to the Island Nation for business matters and visited a certain modified automotive enterprise there to discuss business.

Xiang Anyi inquired for a while, then took his leave without bringing up the business. At that time, Zhao Pu did not take it seriously and thus did not dwell on it.

But reflecting back on it now, there were many flaws in the story.

If Xiang Anyi were truly from the relevant national department, he should have been aware of the reason for Zhao Pu’s travel abroad; hence, there would be no need for him to visit for inquiries.

"It must be him!" Li Changlin’s face darkened, if he had known what Xiang Anyi did earlier, he wouldn’t have let that guy off at noon.

"Damn it, what exactly is Xiang Anyi up to, and why would he want to attack Puge!" Zhou Xingxing angrily pounded the sofa.

Though he was the direct heir of the Zhou Family, he didn’t hold much power currently, so naturally, he couldn’t seek revenge for Zhao Pu.

Now it seemed that only Li Changlin could seek justice for Zhao Pu.

So Zhou Xingxing immediately turned to look at Li Changlin.

Li Changlin naturally understood his intent, thus promptly nodding and saying, "Brother Zhou, rest assured, after returning to Shanghai City, I will seek out Xiang Anyi for an explanation."

"Changlin, just forget about it, after all, the Xiang Family is just a third-rate family." Zhao Pu shook his head with frustration. Although he knew Zhou Xingxing was the direct heir of the second-rate Zhou Family, he was also quite clear about Zhou Xingxing’s situation.

Hence, Zhao Pu did not really intend for Zhou Xingxing to intervene, and now that he saw Li Changlin was willing to take on the challenge on his behalf, he was moved but quickly tried to dissuade him in a soft voice.

"Puge, it seems you are still unaware of Changlin’s identity." Knowing Zhao Pu’s concerns, Zhou Xingxing immediately chuckled and said, "Changlin now is the direct heir of the Li Family, and he has been designated the next Family Head Successor. He will certainly find a way to seek justice for you, Puge."

"Changlin is the direct heir of the Li Family, but you..." Zhao Pu was shocked, yet remembering the process through which he came to know Li Changlin, he felt extremely puzzled.
