Chapter 365: Chapter 365: There is a Master Carpenter

But later, Ju Gang’s subsequent moves did not prevail.

Ju Gang had initially thought that Yao Xuanhang might have escaped the Ghost Wall because he was with Cui Wenzhe at the time, or perhaps because Yao Xuanhang himself had a particularly strong life force.

When one attempt failed, he came up with another scheme.

He planned to make another move against Yao Xuanhang.

Unexpectedly, Yao Xuanhang suddenly left City S.

"At that time, I actually suspected that Yao Xuanhang might have seen through our plan. I even went to seek confirmation from Tao Yicheng..." Ju Gang said tremulously, Tao Yicheng had visited Yao Xuanhang’s home that very day.

Jiangli remembered something, "Was it yesterday that he went with Su Shiyi?"

"Um..." Ju Gang nodded meekly, "Su Shiyi has been worrying about Yao Xuanhang. After returning from the seaside, she insisted on finding Yao Xuanhang. Upon hearing my suspicions, Tao Yicheng found an excuse to accompany Su Shiyi to the Yao Family to gather information..."

However, the Yao Family seemed completely clueless, they didn’t even know about Yao Xuanhang’s near-fatal fall into the sea the previous day.

Ju Gang then thought that perhaps Yao Xuanhang had been scared the day before and wanted to get some fresh air, hence he didn’t return home.

It was because of this that he and Tao Yicheng thought of the plan for today.

They would take advantage of Yao Xuanhang going out alone to stage a supposed car accident.

Unexpectedly, Yao Xuanhang was not alone when he left the house; he even brought along a real Xuanmen master.

At this thought, Ju Gang shed bitter tears for himself.

"That Master Mu you spoke of, is he in City S? Where does he live?" Jiangli touched his chin and asked seriously.

Ju Gang shook his head repeatedly, "No, Master Mu usually does not live in City S. He, he seems to be helping a wealthy family with something. He occasionally comes to City S, and whenever he does, he’d call me in advance to meet him at a hotel, always a different one each time, so I think he probably doesn’t have a home here in City S..."

Jiangli frowned and said, "Then where does he usually stay and for whom does he work?"

"It seems to be, in City H, there’s a Fu Family, I’ve heard they’re quite wealthy, but he didn’t share much with me, I, I don’t know any more than that..." Ju Gang said, weeping and sniveling as he begged for mercy: "Master, Master, I’ve really told you everything I know, please let me off this time, I won’t dare to do it again..."

But Jiangli didn’t hear the latter half of his plea; she turned to Xia Xin and said, "City H’s Fu Family, does that sound familiar to you?"

"...It seems like Fu Yuxing, who allegedly killed Lin Yurong, is from City H. Could it be that Fu Family?" Xia Xin was also somewhat confused.

Jiangli’s expression darkened, "What a coincidence, could it be that all wealthy Fu Families are concentrated in City H?"

She suspected even more that the Fu Family that had caused Lin Yurong’s death was indeed the one served by Master Mu.

This could also explain why Lin Yurong’s soul had been torn apart.

It was likely, however, that Master Mu was not particularly skilled, knowledgeable only in crooked practices.

He shouldn’t be difficult to deal with.

With this in mind, Jiangli finally looked at Ju Gang, "If you want me to spare you, it’s not impossible, but you have to pay the price for your actions."

Ju Gang was taken aback, not yet having the chance to inquire further.

Suddenly, Jiangli raised her hand and, with a slap, struck directly beneath Ju Gang’s shoulder.

Ju Gang’s shoulder throbbed in pain, a surge of energy seemed to penetrate his shoulder and ravage his internal organs.

Soon after, Ju Gang’s complexion changed, he lurched forward, and with a retching sound, vomited a large mouthful of blood.

Then, he fell straight to the ground, motionless.
